Parents Know Best

I woke up this morning and my mom greeted me with, "Why do you have acne on your face?". 


I sat down doing my homework on the laptop today and my Asian mother walks in with another negative comment about me, "You've been on the computer all day! THAT'S ALL YOU ARE GOOD FOR!" 


You know what. Parent's DON'T know best! Where was she when I was abandoned all alone in Kentucky? She was in Las Vegas having Starbucks with her friends. Where was she when I cried out for her to help me? She was busy finding a new boyfriend. I can sit here and watch television shows that explain that family is important and that parents are mean, because they care and know what's best for you. My mother doesn't know best. I know what is best for me. Sitting here feeling caged up in my own house isn't allowing me to experience things about the world. Unfortunately, the computer is my only freedom in this house. 


Lately, I've been trying to take over my own life. She keeps restricting my movements and now she's getting me on the computer, because she knows the computer is all I have left that she cannot control. You know what. She isn't allowed to control me one bit. She can go on a rant about how much I am not the perfect child for her and you know what I don't care anymore. My parents DON'T know best. I do! Right now my only ally is myself.
