I understand how u feel. It's similiar in most households. But
first thing first before I go directly into ur problem. Maybe u haf
not seen it, but to get a good education is for urself and not for
them. U have to live ur future on ur education standards, but ot
them. They haf already lived for themselves. Maybe in a way they
wanted u to learn that doing well in ur academic results must not
have a reward for it. Ur own future is ur reward. Good education
likely = to good job. At least u will not have to slave urself away
in some labourous work.
Another thing is that when u mention that they dun understand ur
feelings or y can't they open up rite?? Y can't u think their words
to u?? they do live in a different kind of time period, but it
means that likely they will possess their own thinking. Even then,
each is an individual?? we haf our ways of thinking as well.. when
we say we can't understand other pple, likely is that we are also
stubborn with our own ways too. If not, y would we regard other
pple as stubborn.
As to buying things that u like or u wanted veyr much, Haf u ever
tot of saving it up rather then asking ur parents to get them for
u?? It will be more treasured by u too. Be it be just a walkman,
which is already pretty out-dated, but to u it will mean a lot to
u, becoz u haf save it up thru' mths of endurance. Furthermore they
will not be able to deny u from buying, becoz it's ur own money
that u haf suffered the mths.
I'm sorry if u are really pissed off after reading my reply, but I
think it's worth the while to consider pple's feelings and reasons
too... Becoz normally we are blinded by our own emotions and
thinking. Even now, I believe u muz be thinking that I'm also
blinded by my emotions when I'm replying. But hey, it's a big NO,
becoz I'm also face with such problem when I was younger too. These
are ways which I can equally tackle problems, not being just
looking at one straight line.
