We're sorry.
For me, I hate the fact that my parents see the small mistakes I have and make a big deal about it. I'm ashamed because I can't satisfy them as much as they have satisfied my whole life. Lavishing me in food, clothes, technology and so much more just to make sure that I have BOTH my wants and needs. And seeing the small crease in between their eyebrows just makes me cry.
We want to be perfect for you, but it's just hard to meet the levels we've set for you to be proud of us. We scream for you to stop lecturing us because we're tired of hearing how broken we are. Specially when you start lecturing us about how your friend's child is better than us and how we should be following that example, we're sorry, but we feel as if we're not enough for you. We feel as if you'd rather have them as your child.
We're tired. Just tired. We make mistakes and we're judged at our school. All we just really want is to go home and see our parents and siblings just smiling at us, like they see us as a gift from God.
We're not saying that you shouldn't tell us off, because we also need the attention you give us. We're just trying to explain why we do this. Please try to understand us. We're sorry for being such a huge luggage to you, but we're just a teen struggling to get through high school and college. Trying to get a job so we can start repaying you.
(I was inspired to write this from the story I read in wattpad and a teen posting a video in youtube about she hates her parents. I think that it's unreasonable for us teenagers to say that we hate our parents, I believe that we just have our heads in the skies, too proud to admit that we're hurt.)
