I also have a dad I hate to talk to - he is quite old, middle eastern, very traditional( I'm trying to politely say that he is a sexist bastard). Unfortunately, I still live at home. I actually pretend he is different than what he is. It's really dysfunctional, but I just trick myself into thinking he's a cool person…

Good to hear she is doing well. Best wishes and a speedy recovery.

Thanks to everyone that responded, it helps.

I'm fucking pissed at my mom. I have super curly hair, so I usually just let my mom cut it once or twice a year. She has a strange obsession with my baby hairs - they break off a lot and she talks about it all the time.

You Jezzies are so wonderful! Made my day. Also, I love Daria.

I see what you mean, but I just don't see it that way. I do know some idiots, but there are a lot of us that have as much responsibility as an adult without any of the respect. Maybe I will feel differently when I'm older. I like to keep my mind open, but I will always filter new things.

Thanks, I guess. I do have a little bit of common sense. I'm past most of this- in a vigorous college program, leader of a high school organization with 60 people in it, taking care of several horses, etc. I generally do what I want and don't give a fuck what other people think. Except maybe my parents, because they…

Thank you! I would like to think so. I don't like to criticize her young self, but I hate it when young people are portrayed as clueless and ignorant. Really, 9 calories in a piece of bread? It makes my life difficult (as someone who tends to be more mature than the age indicates) and pisses me off.

It's my 16th Birthday today. This is not helpful. This is strange. All teenage girls are not the same. I am my own self, and I will not conform.
