WTF IS WRONG WITH MY LIFE?

Hi there Cookie Monster! Don't need a doctor to tell you what's wrong at this point in your life. You're just at the age where you feel you know what's best for you and your parents don't agree at all and insist on a different direction. We all go through that stage as kids growing up and as parents trying to keep our children safe and out of trouble. A meeting of the minds just isn't easy at this stage! You are probably acting the way you are to "show" parents and teachers alike that you have a mind of your own and aren't afraid to use it. ( Even if it is for the wrong purpose! ) You have a great future ahead of you, but you must show respect for your parents and teachers! I know you don't want to hear this or believe it's the right thing to do, but how in the world do you ever expect people to respect you!? Life is a two way street. You must give and take, but always show respect along the way. It's hard for both parents, teachers and kids these days! There's just so much pressure to grow up and be successful. The parents want that for their children and the teachers do also. Study hard and do well in school so you can get into college. Get educated in order to nab that great job and this is the best way for you to put your own "exclamation point" on the beginning of your life! No one can ever take that away from you, but you'll have to earn it to begin with! Things like this have been going on since I was in school more years ago than I want to remember! The best way to "show" someone they were wrong about you and your personality, is to do your best in life! Your parents care and your teachers care, but they can't help you unless you want to be helped! Your friends can't do a thing for your future! Quit feeling sorry for yourself and show all these people what you can do! Good luck!
