Posted by Anonymous on 2015/05/27 under Uncategorized I was arguing with my mom (I’m a young teenager) about me having to put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I know, what a stupid thing to argue about. I really didn’t want to touch any of the DISGUSTING dishes so I kept complaining. She broke and shouted: “stop b**ching about it! You are not special. You have to do what everybody else does!” Now I know that doesn’t look to harsh, but as a big fantasy books fan, and my mom doesn’t say bad words, that reality was shocking. The words rang through my head “you are not special you are not special” and I didn’t speak and went to my room right when I was done. I’m not special. She just went into my room. She said “thank you for doing the dishes” and smiled as if nothing was wrong. I had to give a fake smile and say thank you too. This always happens. I act as if nothing happened, but inside I’m falling apart. Oh God I’m so messed up. I argue with my parents too much. They tell me that its just because I’m a growing teenage girl, but I don’t know. I don’t know any other girls who argue with their parents like me. I also stress a lot and I have had a few anxiety attacks. But the point is, and this is why I’m typing this, is because I’m not special. I’M NOT SPECIAL. I know that sounds kinda selfish, but I feel like all my dreams have been crushed.
