Think people

Before you joke about shooting yourself, think. Think about how maybe a person in the chat room has maybe thought seriously about it, and think about how maybe a person in the chat room has lost somebody they loved like a sister because she did precisely that. Shot herself. Just think about your comment for three seconds before you open your mouth.

I am sick of being a trophy daughter.

When I was at the academics ceremony earlier this month, I was being honored for my academic achievement, which this year, has been slim. I thought I was to receive a letter, and rather than my parents saying, "Congratulations on a good job!", I get, "Why didn't you get a letter?"

Tonight I was at the Fine Arts banquet. Now, I know my mom's got it rough right now, but honestly, does that give her a right to take it out on me? Thought not. So I sit with some friends, and after everything, I have one letter for choir, and one mini-letter for flags. Instead of, "Good job on the letters!", I get, "What happened to a band letter? And speech?" DOES SHE FUCKING KNOW HOW HARD IT IS EVEN FOR SENIORS WHO'VE DONE IT ALL FOUR YEARS TO GET A LETTER? Jesus criminetly.

I go through the same thing every year. And I also don't think they realize the kind of pressure they put on us by expecting us to top last year's achievements every single time. It's so stressful and just plain not fun. *huggles* Congrats on the letters.
