Rant
I wish my parents listened to me. The other day my mom said that they're tough on me because they care. Even though I'm not a parent, I don't think that's how it works...
I don't think they know how much I hate them sometimes. Maybe I hate them because I never get what I want. Which seems kinda babyish and dramatic, which I am according to my mom,dad, and brother.
The main problem is that I want to quit band. And take creative writing instead. But my parents want me to do band till I finish highschool because it looks good on college applications. My mom says that I need something to stand out from others. But it's not like I'm going to an ivy league or smth. If I apply to 20 colleges I'm sure I'll get into half of them even if I don't do band for the next two years. It's not like I'm dumb, I'm literally taking 3 AP classes next year. I want to take writing cause it's something I enjoy and improve on. It's my dream to write a book that changes people's perspective on life, so I really want to take the class. But my dad says it's dumb and my mom says I should take it with dual enrollment, which is like taking a class outside of school hours for college credit, but I don't want to that.
Last week I told my mom that I want to do creative writing, and then she told my dad while we were HAVING DINNER. And she made it sound like the most ridiculous idea. And it was like they were offended that I wanted to take creative writing. And then my dad was like, it's not like you can call CPS on us because we aren't letting take writing class. Like wtf was that supposed to funny cause it's not.
It's not like what I'm doing will affect their lives, so let me decide and deal with the consequences myself.
And then they're like, you have so much talent and potential. Well I don't care cause I hate band.
So I've decided to take the writing class, and I'm going to tell my mom trmw, I don't care if I can't take it cause they can't force me. I don't care if they slap me, yell out me, and take all my stuff away, I'm still going to do it, because I'm tried of not doing what I want to do.
So yea, end of rant I guess
Have a good day to whoever reads this!

I get where you're coming from, some parents don't understand that you have your own dreams and goals and they want to make you look successful in their own way. Follow your heart and do you. I have a feeling you'll be off to to big things someday. Writing is a passion of mine myself (: Good luck out there!! 💜✨
@bobaTeaa1234 my mother was same when I was younger and told me I was not a good writer so don't embarrass them. I was told that daily because it was something I loved so by the time I was 22-23 I stopped writing altogether until 2017, after I learned she was a narcissist, I felt so relieved because that meant it was not all my fault all those years ago as a little girl. I wasn't stupid, dumb or ***. She did it and hurt me all on her own.
I said all that to say that don't do what I did and stop your writing because that's your passion, I can tell. Stand up for yourself and please keep writing. You didn't want to be an old lady like me at 62 still writing and I was 54-55 when I started back again because her having a label helped me more than you know. I was free and I felt free, freer than I've ever felt. Don't do it if you app will get in trouble, standing up for yourself I mean. Silently standing up for yourself is just as wonderful!
