my mum says im a ''hermit'' and i need to go outside with my friends and go shopping because my life is made up of school, then home. i don't see a problem because i run around at school, and do P.E 3 times a week for 50mins. plus i go out for lunch most days but usually by myself, i have 3 friends, but that's ok, she also says i overreact and took me to my doctor :( 8O


If you're like me, school can be pretty exhausting and when you're home you're ready for a rest. Is that what it's like?

Sometimes I feel like my parents are trying to "fix" me. For example, I'll be playing on the computer and my dad will come in and say "Why don't you go out or call your friends?" I know he just wants what's best for me but it really irritates me. He doesn't understand that I can be completely happy all by myself. If I want to hang out with my friends, I'll call them but being alone is not synonimous with being miserable.

Exactly.

This weekend, my sister had a program at her school called LEMUN, where someone from another country was to stay in our house for three days. Although this was pretty annoying, it was in the weekends so I never saw them because I sleep in. But on Saturday night, she brought a whole party with her. This annoyed me extremely so I tried to stop it when my sister came up to get drinks I wanted to stop her from bringing it to her room. I was then ordered to go to my room but didn't want to, so I was dragged there. It often seems as if my mother and sister are ashamed of me.
