One thing that I can’t stand about being so close to 18 is that you are so close to being and adult and yet you still barley receive any respect from adults. My mom makes such a big fuss that I live in her house and she can do and say whatever she wants because she owns everything and I own nothing. I understand that I do have rules to follow but that does not mean that I can be treated any way that she sees fit. I am a human being and I have real feelings. Those feelings are hurt when the house and everything in it seems more valuable than I am. I wish I could stay mad forever but I know that sooner or later, we will laugh about something and everything will be normal. I am sick of this constant pattern, yet I have no idea of how to break it. Someone help me please!!!!!!!!!!
