Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Have you ever been told, "Oh my, you're growing up so suddenly!" and then like 5 minutes later you ask for like let's say, a cell phone and they say, "No, you're far too young." And then you don't say anything but in you're heart you're like, What the crap?

If you've had these sort of moments then you have something that a lot of people I know have, GMS. Or in other words, Grown-up Manipulation Syndrome. Yes, it's real. Yes, I just made it up.

Here's what happens. You start growing up and get more responsibilities. You may or in some cases may NOT gain a little more maturity. This is where the thing goes out of whack. You ask for a little more freedom and BAM, they say you're too young.

Like in my case, I'm an A B student, I do my homework, have friends, and don't get into all the Gangs and Drug activity(I usually stay away from people who do that).

The point is my mother (although I love her) has been pushed to the brink of paranoia! She thinks I'm going to get lost or something. Holy crap! I admit I've done some dumb stuff before, but nothing to deserve the way she won't let me out of the house! I can't go to the park barely any days, I usually spend my weekends doing nothing, and she doesn't trust most of the Guy-friends I have. It's not like they are about to Gang rape me!

The worst part is she's not the only one. My wonderful brother in law *note the sarcasm* has completely convinced my mom that I'm some immature, untrust worthy, little GIRL that shouldn't be allowed to do anything! scream

Thanks to him, my mom will probably won't give me a cell phone till I'm in my 20s! What the ********!? My brother -in-law is allways in my business. "Who's this person you are talking to?" "Let me talk to them?" "I can't believe you are talking to a boy, I'm telling your mom." WHAT THE ********!!?? I admit that I did dumb stuff like chatting in online chat rooms, but I don't do that anymore! I'm smarter than that.

So what? I don't even mention the people I hang around at school anywhere NEAR him! I just know that's a recipe for disaster, countless questions and each answer I say is a shot against me.

So there it is. I just needed to let that out okay. I'm glad I vented that out. I'm just so goddamn annoyed and frusterated and completely disoriented because of the fact that my own mother doesn't trust me! Something tells me this year is going to be interesting.
