I'm pretty upset right now and since writing helps me calm down abit, here I am. :/
I guess it's the fact that we're raised in different worlds and time period, that makes our communication and understanding of each other harder. I blame it on the strict expectations from my parents that sometimes, I find it hard to be more of myself around them and easier to just go neutral. With my friends and outside of...well basically home when my parents are home, I'm more carefree, happy and smiley. With my parents, I find nothing in common therefore nothing to talk about. The jokes I find that are funny are pretty stupid/nonsense to my parents so what else do I talk about?!
They always ask: how's school today? Yea, like we'll get any conversation in
that subject. Does everything involving me
has to be about school, homework, marks and studying? Yea, no wonder I dont have anything to talk about on that topic. And everything I say is basically true; either I dont really care or mind what you guys pick cuz really...I dont mind at all! I dont know if you guys want it or not, to me it'll just be another addition; bad or good I'll just have to accept it.
Or maybe because I'm raised in a western culture world; so very different from our traditional family's culture. Sometimes the way I am or act is how everyone is
suppose to act around people. So why cant they just understand and accept me?! Accept the way I talk, act, react to certain things and my opinions on certain things? I cant necessarily follow every rule ya know...:/
I'm sorry to say this my friends definitely understand me more and better
any day than my parents. Because they know what's going on at school; they dont really care about who's copying who's homework or tests, or who's dating who or any social modern topic. I'm actually in a relationship and they dont know anything about it because I know they'll beat the shit out of me. So why even bother telling them when they know they'll be pissed? Why bother telling them anything these days?
Except for good marks, praises from teachers, stupid goddamned deeds I whatever did or just something interesting at school happens, I dont tell them
anything. That's how far I trust them, how far I'm close to them. I cant even get comfortable having the 'birds and the bees' talk or sex.ed. conversation with them since everytime I bring up the subject, the first thing they'll say is 'why you asking this?' or 'dont do any of those stuff got it?'.
So why the
fuck bother?
I used to think Spirit of Math was worse than at home with parents. It's so reversed. Actually, anywhere other than home with your parents is better. Home as in your house is awesome; but home as in your house
with your parents is just constricting. Even at SMS, I make friends and have so much to talk about. I can easily laugh, joke around and not really worry about the math questions. Cuz seriously, who does their work in class?! Only my parents.
And just because PET's an awesome school doesnt mean all the students are what they expect to be: proper, loves to study/learn and basically their image of a 'student'. HELLO?! There are girls who dont even have a fucking backpack but a TNA bag. Highheels, revealing clothes, relationships, makeup, iPod; they dont even know the students in highschool and they just make assumptions. It's
bullshit.
I cant wait until I graduate from university and find a great job and make myself worthy. Then one day, I'll reveal it all; how I got a boyfriend from the beginning of highschool even though they were against it, how I copy other's work in SMS, how I didnt really give a shit to certain things. Then I'll show them my
real life in highschool.
So now I apologized. And if he still acts like that with me, then I guess there's nothing to do about it. I can be strong. I can do this without your attention. I've done it so many times before. 'Cause I've got school and my friends. They're always there to cheer me up. You cant bring my smile down. Life at home maybe hard but I'll always look forward to school. It's my safe haven; my escape.
But seriously; why
bother? So I'm just going to close myself up around my parents, act oh so fake and fucking
innocent and be whatever the fucking perfect daughter they want me to be. And amongst my friends, I'm going to be...
myself. Happy, cheerful, laughing, joking, dirty-perverted, carefree Sherry..the one I bet they'll never get to see.
