I hate my life. Everything I do no matter how hard I try or do it's never good enough. I mean I've done some bad things before but nothing that bad. Just some pranks and stuff like every one else has done. But when I do a little joke my parents yell at me and tell me I'm retarded, and I can't do anything right. But if I come on with a 110% final exam my parents just say "Okay" and then they move on, they don't even care. I was studying for a history test for Tuesday and then they ask what I was studying, why I was studying it, and when I told them history for a test on Tuesday they freak out and yell at me for not telling them. And history is my best subject so I don't really see a problem with that. But every time.. every time I do something good they seem like they don't care or want to know anything. If something is wrong they say you'll get over it and leave. Then if I spill some sort of drink or small thing on the floor they yell at me and ground me for a week or two.. I don't understand. They make me want to go and die.

Keep up the great grades; apply for scholarships and get thee to a university. The shalt thou have the ability to be on your own, start your own family, and then do a better job of parenting than your parents have. Living well is the best revenge.

Don't give up dear, I swear things can be so much better once you get to college. I'm not saying college is all that great (I hate it, actually) But living at a school away from your parents will change your whole attitude. Hopefully your parents' attitudes as well.
My parents used to be the same way, but they don't even bother me after spending a year away. My mom just threatens that she will charge rent if I don't get my butt going.
They are just trying to do what they consider their responsibility, remember. So put in those ear buds and get yourself outta there with your good grades!
