This House Is Not a Home
February 28, 2007
I really wish I had some excuse not to come home tonight. I’ve already hung out with Nifty everyday for the past four days, and he made plans with his friends tonight so I can’t say I’m going to his house.
I hate coming home. My sisters are usually always such bitches to me and I hate it. Recently, I’ve started copying their tones and acting the same way they treat me, but guess what? That only gets me in trouble. It’s me who has all the attitude, it’s me who’s going to get grounded. But Josephine can be a huge bitch every day of the year and never get in trouble.
I’m sick of it. I’m sick of having to tread lightly around her mood swings. I’m sick of her always getting her way and acting like she’s better then everyone. I’m sick of her thinking she doesn’t have to listen or answer to anyone, and that everyone is here to obey her.
The rest of my day is going to be horrible now, because my lovely family has put me in such a great mood. I can’t wait to get the hell out of here. They almost grounded me from co-op for being a “bitch” this morning, and co-op is school. So they would be grounding me from going to school and I would not get the hours I need to graduate. They said they didn’t care, and that I could stay another year behind.
Then they wonder why I’m always “hiding” in my room.

Can’t you go to the library or a bookstore and just curl up and read?]]>

< ![CDATA[I'm so sorry home life sucks right now. I agree with Avi, a book is a great escape. Heck, I travel the world via books!
Do you have a counselor at school that you can talk with? Teen years are, without a doubt, some of our toughest. Once you become 18, you get a LOT more say in your environment.
I hope things lighten up for you.

< ![CDATA[Avi - I live in the middle of NOWHERE. Theres no where I can go that isn't in my house. And I've read everything here.
Bcc11 - I know things will get easier when my parents start seeing me as an adult instead of a child, so I’ll have to wait until I move out I suppose lol.
Jane - I love escaping with a book, problem is I’ve read everything here and I can’t go to the school library as I’m at co-op all the time and my parents won’t pick up any books for me. Wow, what a run on sentence.
Vulgar Wizard - I wish that was the case, but they generally think they’re better then me. Luckily, I know the truth lol.]]>
