So, my bf asked me to go to Homecoming with him and I told him I would ask my parents, right? Well, I told both of them at dinner after holding it back since that mornin' and my mom said "I'm ashamed of you for holding that back from me" but I tried to tell her that I wasn't trying to do something bad and I just wanted to tell them 'bout Homecoming. And then my parents said that I'm not "mature enough" EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE BEEN TELLIN' ME THAT FOR YEARS, and they compared me to my BFF's brother, who BTW is a literal GENIUS and it stung bein' compared to some boy that's literally 3 months older than me and knows how to take apart a PC and put it back together and still have it work.
So after all that, I called my Grandma on my bilogical side (I'm adopted; have been my whole life) and I cried 'cause I feel like no matter what I do to try to prove that I'm mature enough, my parents will still think I'm a little baby. And then after I got done talkin' to my Grandma I went in my room again and cried for a bit 'cause apparently I'm worthless. I even wrote a song 'bout my feelin's just the other day!
So lemme tell y'all this": if I sound like I'm happy, just know I'm slightly depressed most of the time but haven't told my parents 'cause I've convinced myself that they'll say I'm just "bein' dramatic".
