Substitute 'w' with 'b' and ta-da. You get a whole new word. I'm the same person though. I've long accepted the fact that I am, and never will be, the girl who my family wants me to be. Smiling, respectful, and hardworking. I've tried to be that, but I find it only makes me miserable. So here I am, being myself, and they hate it.

Not them per-se. My grandmother. She snaps at me everytime my sister does something wrong. It's like it's my fault. She's very narrow-minded, from my point of view. Saying stuff about things she doesn't even understand. She says I'm rude, disrespectful, and absolutely the last person anyone would want to be with. I'd beg to differ, but then she'd scream I'm an ingrate for answering back at her.

Who wouldn't? I mean, you would get offended too if you were described by someone who knew little about you as being a conniving teenage girl who's selfishly keeping the fan all to herself.

You might think it shallow I'm getting pissed over such a comment, but this stems from things much deeper. All my life, as long as I can remember, she's always sniping at me. Always criticizing what I do, how I do it. It's like everything I do is wrong. I'm not hurt; I'm pissed. I've long been over the hurt stage. Now I'm just sarcastic, angry. What right does she have to say that I'm such a person? She knows nothing about me.

She tells me that since I'm such a horrible person, I'll end up being in an equally horrible position on the future. Inwardly, I roll my eyes. I'll work hard to make sure I don't. I've been given a good education, and I won't waste my parents' effort on making me into a being resembling an actual person.

She's done nothing but snipe at me, so it's not my fault I don't give her the respect she must be deserving. Who can respect someone who says you're a teenager with no aim in life, who'll have no one to lean onto when something happens because she's alienated all those who supposedly support her?

Ah. Teenage life and all its drama. I lovelove it to bits and pieces.
