"Listen To Bubby" | Session #4
Dear Bubby,
I don't know what to do. My life has gone down hill ever since I started 11th grade. First I went from private to public school and I hate the school I am at. My grades have dropped so much. My mother keeps telling me other kids love it, blah blah blah, but I try to tell her that I am not other kids. But she won't listen to me. It's like my opinion isn't important.
This year I have lost friends because they've gone their separate ways. I couldn't go see a concert because my teacher said I had to be in class. My mum won't let me date this guy I really like because of his family. I really like him and I have tried everything to convince her, but she won't listen. If it keeps going on like this I will be single forever.
Sometimes I feel I am more scared of my mum then I am of anything else. She is so protective and I am not allowed to go out or do anything. I can't even sleep over at friend's houses or walk into town. My parents say they just want to protect me but they don't know that the more they are "protecting" me the more they are pushing me away.
I am 16 now and when I finish grade 12 I am going to find a full-time job so I can earn enough money to move out and go to university. The only choice is to move out, which is what I am going to do.
I have no other choice. What is your opinion??
From,
