I’m the oldest child and I have one brother. I’ve tried the whole peacful thing. Just yesterday I got an email and letter through the mail from the University of Rochester, New York and my mom was standing in the Den ironing her clothes and I told her that I had got some new mail from colleges. Right off the bat, she was “Well, Where are they from this time” in a really snoody voice. I’ve asked them when they wanna talk about it and the peaceful stuff just doesn’t work. We’ve tried the whole peaceful thing in other arugments also, but it has never worked.

“You complain too much, this is your life, your parents will have their opinions and they want you to be happy and protect you, but it is what you want, show respect for your parents, they raised you and and love you. sit down with your parents calmly, show them you are serious. tell them about your dreams and what you always wanted, tell them this is what most people do when they goto college, they live independently and mature. Don’t say anything like, i don’t care what you say, or i’m going to do what i want. just be honest with them, they are your parents, and they want you to be happy.”

Well, You can take it as complaining if you choose. Hm, they sure have some way of showing they love me. Lets see, with my mom telling me i’m the most hateful child to ever walk the face of the Earth! Ohh, and them constantly finding anything and everything to fuss and argue and yell at me about. And i’ve been telling my parents since…like, the 6th grade what I wanted to do. I’ve never shut up with the “When I get older I wanna do this…” and the “Someday…that’s gonna be me”. My entire life i’ve waited for college and dreamed of what it would be like. The whole being nice and sitting down to talk about it just doesn’t work. That road has been taken and got no where.
