I want to say u something... in this whole world everyone want us means child to be a all rounder.. they know no one can be perfect still they are forcing us.. sometimes if we have scored a good marks then they will fetch us what we want.. n if we loose it by just 1/2 marks then they used burst out...
our moms' are like moody in nature they just change our channels... if we are studying they will say to eat or do something else... I'm done with this... they used to think that we should behave like a young one at some time n sometimes as mature as we can... I hate this nature..

Dear Diary,
I just received my exam results. I tried. I really tried, yet I messed up. My mom kept asking me where she went wrong in raising me, and I felt really guilty. I couldn't tell her that I tried my best, I couldn't apologize. I was just stuck. I just want to talk to someone about this, and writing is all I've got.
The last few months weren't easy. I think the reason I didn't fare well in my exam is because my mind was preoccupied by trying to fit in. It was so easy before, back when we were children. But now, it seems like there are unspoken rules. When I wear a jacket over my clothes, they say I'm overdressed, but if I'm wearing just my dress then I'm underdressed. When I put on makeup, my parents say I'm too young for wearing makeup. But if I'm not wearing makeup, my peers say I'm too ugly for not putting makeup on. This not only affected my studies, but my overall health. I want to tell my parents I am trying, I want to tell them I'm not fine. But they would merely brush it off, thinking I'm overreacting. That I'm just a child.
I am not just a child, I know I am not, because I once was. And I would rather be that child, live that life, when I didn't have to worry in the slightest, than continue being treated as a child but expected to act like an adult. I don't know how I can ever explain this to my parents. How can I explain, that all I want, is to be accepted?
