well, I dont know how well the title actually fits the submission, but it works.
for the past few months since my 18th birthday I have been trying everything to help relax my parents hold on me. yes, they have made a few altercations for the house hold rules, but they still show to me that they don't respect me enough to make my own decisions.
i have tried to open up and give them an inside look to my real personality, which i have been conveniantly hiding for the last couple of years. Plus, with giving them that little taste, I have been doing everything to balance my time between school, work, friends, and family. Im getting a lot of things out of the way now so i dont have to worry about them later and i have been trying to be a little bit responsible for myself and my actions.
its not as easy as i thought it would be, so i am putting forth more effort, thus i should be gaining more 'oints' with my parents. but it doesnt seem to be. they still dont seem to want me to grow up as fast as i am, but there is nothing i can do about it. ive even been thinking about holding a second job, plus looking into college, and possibly a modeling career. what else can you ask of someone.
i dont know why they are inclined not to trust me because i have gotten so much better so much more active in life, and now that i have a life they dont know what to do about it.
I guess what i want is for them to realise that i am now legally an adult, and I need enough respect from them to treat me like one and let me make my own choices. yeah the choices i might make might be the wrong ones, but in the end, they are my choices to make and if they are mistakes, then they are my mistakes. Ill deal with them when they come
