I turn 18 years old in March. That means that I need to start taking responsibility and making life decisions for myself, right? I've seen other people younger than me who are allowed to make their own decisions about their life, but not me.
Throughout my teenage years, when I'm trying to take control of my own life and learn to be a responsible adult my parents always step in and make my decisions for me. Their rationale is that I always make "bad decisions" on my own and they need to do it for me even though I've never been able to actually make a decision on my own.
An example is today, when I received my class schedule for this year of high school. In my school we are allowed to make our own schedule but I had no choice but to join a math class taught by someone that my mother has a personal vendetta against (I'm not fond of this teacher but I really couldn't care less). When my mom saw that I was in that woman's class she instantly screamed at me to change my schedule because I had made a "bad decision". When I informed her that changing my schedule at this point was impossible (school starts on Monday!) she said that she was going to "make my decisions for me" so now she's emailing my school counselor to complain and she might make an angry call to the school
Why can't I have my own life for once??
