Sometimes I really can't stand them.
Ya i kno rite. xD
Really it's only because my parents tend to like stressing how damn important it is that I consistently receive straight A's and when I don't . . .
When I show them anything less, and I mean anything (yes this means a B+ as well or in this case an 85 and up) they start giving me a tirade about how crucial it is that I perform to the best of my ability. Apparently they think I'm some "supah g3nius babeh" that was seemingly bestowed with vast intellect from the Powahs That Be.
Ugh whatever . . . I can't change their thinking anyway.
Yeah so this logic all adds up to them wanting me to go to college and them saying that I will go. Now their latest fixation is making me a more independent person. All their realism though sounds like pessimism to me though.
Teh mom: "Liek omgz j00 ave to pay teh taxes & billz & th3n j00 wiLl hav3 to g3t liek m4rried. BuT lyke 4 j0b iz liek supah imp0rtant and blah blah blah. "
My stepdad's even worse because my mom will at least try to soothe my wounds from that. My stepdad just rubs salt on it, metaphorically speaking: "Taylor, you HAVE to be more independent, you can't do this and that and blah blah blah and it's a weakness and blah blah blah. People will screw you over if you this and that and blah blah blah and college is not easy. Life is hard and blah blah blah."
Is there no positivity in this? No reassurance? No encouragement? Only pushing and pushing and pushing?
Could you paraphrase this?
My attention span is only so much...
How did I figure that you'd say that?
Lol
Basically my parents are tyrannical overly realistic--almost bordering on pessimism dictators specifically my mom though. They want me to get straight A's all the time, every year, consistently, and while they obviously have my best interests at heart: I hate the way they go on constantly nagging me about it. It's just like "shut up already, I get it, you're obsessed with pushing your own personal wishes on me and crap!"
If you're going for the straight A's... you've got to have some good exctracuricular activities and SAT scores or all that work will be in vain... as is what happened to me.
I'm looking at Rutger's as a definite potential and if not that then Lawrence University. Lol I had some really great opportunities to receive some scholarships but my parents shot them down. They're really picky. In fact just a few days ago I received this very formal invitation to go on a 10-day trip to two out of about seven universities/colleges or more. Apparently something that cost $2,999 for a full 10-day program that would take me to Fordham University and Georgetown University sounded far too pricey to them. 
emos killing themselves by strapping bombs to their freshly cut wrists? I dunno, lol
Also, a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?
And I can't stop laughing about it. XDDDDDDDDD
