A Simple Request

A simple request is all I have; tell me what you think of me to my face and not behind my back. Seem relatively easy? Great! Now do it. I mean, okay fine, someone else has said mean, nasty things about me yet again, but seriously, my family? The people who are supposed to be there for me in both good and bad times? Ouch! Ouch is all I have to say to you.

So lets just get down to this. Yes, I'll admit, I can be a "bitch" at times. I know that, and guess what, no ones perfect....There are plenty of times you have been mean and nasty to me. As for me not being a "normal" girl, well that's just stupid. Sure, I act crazy and I don't always act my age, but maturity is knowing when and where to be immature. Give me a little credit. I also know that I do not dress like a "normal" girl nor do I wear any make. Well, don't know if you realized it or not but I am confident enough in who I am and how I look to not put on ten pounds of make up everytime I leave the house. God forbid I don't dress like everyone else in the world either. I wear what I find comfortable. Don't like it? Tough.

On a side note, notice how every normal is in quotations? Frankly it's because I don't think there is such a thing as "normal"...

Anyway, I guess what bugs me most is the action my parents have taken; zero. It hurts to know that they can sit there, in the vehicle where this is taking place, and say nothing. You don't have to defend me or anything, but don't just sit there. Maybe I'm wrong here, not being a parent myself, but maybe its right to say that its wrong to say such nasty things about family? Who knows I guess.

So in conclusion, I had once called you my sister, my best friend, and the one who knew the most about me, and now I have no clue what to call you. Usually when this happens, its with friends, or other people where I can just say "Oh well, there's others out there who like me for who I am". I mean isn't that what you'r family's for; to accept and love you no matter what? Now what do I do? You wonder why I'm never home and treat me like this when I am around. Please, someone make the connection. I enjoy being with my friends because they actually DO love me for who I am and not who I have to be. All I am asking for is the same respect everyone else gets and for my own family not to judge me. It hurts.
