QuotesMy parent's are trying to control my life
My family is better off then most but we work hard to get everything we have. (not trying to brag i swear) Well we live in ohio and my family has a lot of entrepreneur's in it. So they know a lot of people from when they were in school,workers or from kids that me and my siblings go to school with. If me or my older sister like a guy my mom and dad always have a rude comment about their family.(which usually means they don't want us going out with them) It's not just boys either it's our friends as well. They think because they have money they are better then those who struggle to earn money. Me and my siblings are not like that we are the only nice people in our family besides my moms parents and some cousins. (no joke) because everyone is so consumed with money and power that comes with it. It's no use talking to them, they don't like me because i stand up for myself, have my own opinions and have dreams they don't approve of. (them meaning my family) and frankly they're racist. I'm 14 so i can't move out for another 4 years, so guess i'm stuck. I have become a bit of a rebel (shoplift,did drugs for a while,get in fights,took my dads Corvette and drove it to my grandma's that live close by, don't worry my grandpa is a driving instructor he taught me how to drive) Point is i never get in trouble, my family is crazy about how people see them so if i screw up they cover for me. helps that my moms side of the family is mostly cops.
I don't think i can live like this for much longer, what can i do? They won't listen to me.Thanks.
Being a rebel isn't the

there's not much you can do,
Submitted by Adren on January 9, 2010 - 4:50pm.there's not much you can do, sadly.. just keep to yourself and distract yourself and avoid them as much as possible.. because you are 14 you are feeling rebellious towards your parents.. it is normal..and because you are 14 they don't listen to you.. i hope you are able to keep yourself from becoming consumed like them.. people with money easily forget what it's like to not have money or are quick to discount others of lower economic statuses but not everybody is as fortunate as others and aren't given the same opportunities.. most wealthy people quickly adhere to the consensus that if you work hard you can become successful and wealthy but that's not true.. people have different skill levels and networks, etc.
