Being a teenager sucks. I'm not talking about the thirteen year-old bull shit. The real life: I'm stuck in the middle of a rock and hard place, flat out broke, I work my ass off AND go to school along with my nursing classes, kind of shit. In a way I feel alienated from the rest of my senior class mates. I have had a job for a solid year and a half, have plenty of bills to pay, and am on my way into planning my future. Most of them are still himhawing around on deciding a fucking major or getting kicked off the volleyball team for drinking, all while freely whipping out that shiny AmEx their mommy's and daddy's give them for "emergencies".
I have real life problems I'm facing and I have to hear you bitch about whether so and so is going to tattle about them being at the latest party and ruin their chances at playing basketball, god- for- fucking-bid.
My problems stem from my issues with independence.... Not that I have an issue, but my parents seem to have one. I've grown up my whole life with a gigantic, invisible, umbilical cord still protruding from my navel apparently. And my mom just can't seem to cut it. I have a non-existant curfew, only because I'm not really allowed to go anywhere anymore. The rents always come up with some bogus excuse as to why spending time with a friend is out of the question. They also control my finances. Yay. I dutifully hand over my measly pay check every two weeks in order for them to pay my car payment, gas, and insurance. Do I ever see any spare change? Ha. No.
So while I'm here worrying about if I'll have enough money on my check to cover my expenses, no money in my pocket, and parents that are a step away from locking me in the house for eternity, do you really think I give two shits about your meaningless problems? Seriously, I'll give you the answers to life right here: If you just CAN NOT get caught, don't fucking do it. Use a condom. I don't want to hear about your pregnancy scares. And if you are pregnant, you have like three options: tell your parents, get an abortion, or just sit at school like an idiot complaining about it until I fucking kill you. More answers: If you're not sure about something, WAIT. Anything, waiting really helps. If he's screwed you over once, he's probably going to do it more than once, possibly several times if you let him keep fucking you over.
And last: Be a good friend. Karma can be a bitch but I bet if you help someone in a time of need, they'll be there for you when it's your turn to get shit on by the world.
Okay, one more. Don't be a douche bag.
