Okay, so I've been ranting about this a lot today, but it's gotten to the point where my feelings are being crushed.
So, the problem is I believe my family picks favourites. (When I say family, I mean as in my ENTIRE family, from my grandparents, to my aunts and uncles)
Minus my mother and sister.
My mother and I have been living with my grandparents for a few months now until we can get back on our feet, and I feel as though I'm being targeted for gossip. They pick on me non-stop. They dislike my friends. They don't like the way I look. They can't stand my choice of music.
The only thing they praise me for is my artwork. And even then, they look at it oddly because of its contents.
I feel like I'm being victimized here.
My grandmother is constantly ragging on me about the tinniest things; like how I stay online a lot, yet my cousin gets a DUI and they only mess with him for a day.
This has been going on my entire life!!!
I've about had it.
I want to say something, but I'm afraid I'll lose my head and just snap at them.
I don't know what to do. T____T

I was thinking about this lately, not this but friends.
I have a few friends which my parents don't like, well detest. Heres what I come up with. You see our friends are our family at the end of the day. At some point or another our parents wont be around and we may find ourselves without family members for comfort, but you will always have friends. You can make them wherever you land up and rely on them. You make your own family through your friends.
Different generations have different standards and likes/dislikes. Grandparents forget that things change and I think that we forget about their style. Music, friends, dress sense is all what makes us individual because we have different tastes and perhaps thats what they need to be reminded of?
Try not to be too angry at them, it wont be forever after all and if they have nothing better to do then talk about you well then they don't have active lives. It would be worse if they didn't notice your exitance.
You will be fine, it just seems as if things are a little tough right now *hugs*
loves

Also, I'm sure you'll be back on your feet in no time. Find comfort in your mother and sister, and maybe get a part time job to help out.
And so your feelings don't accumulate too much, at the end of the day write about something good that happened. Or something Bad that didn't happen. Even something small like "I had a candy bar" or "no planes crash landed on our house" In time, it helps to look back and remember what made you smile.
Remember you always have your Survival Buddy(ies) to talk to. Even just to rant or get advice from. smile
