Why can't you be damn supporting parents and actually help me accomplish things in life instead of beating me down and telling me I'm not good enough when really, I'm just not good enough for you? I'm at the top of my math class and I'm doing perfectly fine in all my classes besides band. But then again, you don't really care what kind of a person I am, so you don't care about band. All you care about is the kind of person you want me to become. When was the last time you asked me how my friendships were going? If I was having trouble at school? If I needed help with anything in life besides academics? When I told you about the issues I was having with Joanna, all you said was "whatever. Just ignore her." I guess you ignored the part where I said she's fucking clingy. When I told you about my new friend Emily, all you noticed was "she's good at piano. Better than me." Maybe it hadn't occurred to you she's been playing longer. Maybe it hadn't occurred to you that she loves music, that it's in her soul. Maybe it hadn't occurred to you that music isn't in mine. Emily's the only one of my new friends you know about, and that's only because I brought up piano. Do you really care about me at all?
