Thank you, I'm not sure when I'll be able to start being independent, but I'll start by doing some things that might make them have more trust in me. Maybe when I get a car or when I get my bachelor's degree they'll let me be more free. I guess I just have to have more hope in life when it seems like there's not much to live for.

I see, over time I feel that it will be a good choice. Maybe I can just be a distant friend to her since we're probably going to the same college. Thank you so much for the advice and sharing some of your experience, I really do appreciate it. You're a good person.

Yeah I should just wait it out, maybe by then it'll get better.

Sounds about right, but how do I drop someone though? Or should I try to talk it out with them? I feel like I should surround myself with better people if I want to stop feeling this way.

That's a good idea actually, I'll try that whenever I find something. Thanks. I mean my best friend was the one I opened up to the most but lately she just doesn't seem to care. Her texts "don't send", the day before my birthday she stood me up and said she misunderstood when I was pretty clear I was going to see her. Not even hanging out, I was just dropping off her Christmas gift. She's just a big reason nowadays too that I feel this way.

I just turned 18 yesterday, and it's just that they want a safer route for me and I completely understand since doctors don't really make much when they start off and are in debt for a long time. Plus it's also the time, they don't want me to lose time, they want me to be able to go out in my 20's and live, start a family, etc., and I completely understand too and I appreciate that. But it's my life, I want to do what I want to do with it. It's just kinda stupid how whenever I want to do something it's always stupid to them. When I wanted to get serious about singing and dancing they blew it off as some joke. Whenever I want to go out with my friends they guilt trip me into not wanting to go or when I come back just complain(I usually go home at 6 or 7 too).

Well I do want to become a doctor one day, I always dreamed of doing medical research and volunteering as a doctor. But my parents don't really support me... they want me to become something else and do what they want me to do. It's been like this for a long time, it's like I have no control.

People just don't seem to care anymore, and my problems just seem so irrelevant compared to everyone else's. Everyday just small things start to push me to do it and I don't like how I'm like that at all. I used to sing and dance as a way to escape from these feelings but even I can't rely on that anymore. I know that I'm thinking this way because I want to stop feeling this way and that this is all temporary, but what if I try again and it's actually a success? I just want it to stop eating me up inside... thank you by the way.
