My Rants

The Parents Finding Out Stuff Rant

Okay, so this is another thing that gets on my nerves. It's about when you and your friend are with your parents, and then they just start telling your parents about bad things that you do at school that they aren't supposed to know about. It's just really annoying and it wrecks everything. Sorry if this rant is kind of long, but I just felt the need to talk about it.

I have a true story for you here, and it happened some time before the summer holidays. I was scared to go on a trip to a theme park. Not because of the rides, I loved the rides. The reason I didn't want to go was because we had to walk around the theme park on our own, and the older kids were coming with us. I was worried about getting lost when I walked around on my own, and I find older kids immature and horrible to be around. I know, I get scared of everything. I'm pathetic.
Anyway, I purposely hid the letter for the trip in my room and didn't tell my mum I had it, so that she wouldn't sign it and I wouldn't have to go on the trip. A few days after the day the letter had to be handed in, I found out that every single one of my friends would be going on the trip. I was like, "Why couldn't you all have told me earlier?" That meant that because I wasn't going on the trip, I had to go into school as normal and sit on my own all day. Which is torture for me, because of my past and whatever.
So, I was so scared of sitting on my own that I made a plan. I lied to my mum and told her that there was a trip on that day, and if you weren't going on it, you got the day off. My mum believed me, and I was happy because I didn't have to go to school and sit on my own all day. That is, until my best friend got involved.
She got a lift home from my mum one day, and I had already told her that I was lying to my mum to save myself from having to sit on my own and whatever. My mum asked her if I got the day off, and then she said that we had to go to school as normal if we weren't on the trip. Then my mum asked why I wasn't going on the trip, and then so-called best friend told my mum that I had been given a letter, but I just didn't hand it in. Then my mum got really mad, and yelled at me.

I wasn't allowed to do anything for the WHOLE WEEKEND. But luckily I begged my mum to let me stay off school, and she ended up letting me because my dad agreed with me.

I mean, best friends are called BEST FRIENDS for a REASON. They should be honoured to be my best friend and not just be mean because they feel like it.

And I have another true story just to prove my point.

I'm not really ALLOWED to have obsessions and be a fangirl. I can obsess at school and on the internet, but my parents think that having obsessions takes over your life, so I can't obsess or talk about my obsession in front of my parents. This is why my parents don't know what half of my obsessions ARE.

So, you know that same best friend who told my mum that I hid the letter? Well, she tells my mum something else that she isn't supposed to know in this rant, too. She was getting another lift home from my mum, and she started talking about how much I fangirl at school. My mum just stared at me and wondered what her daughter had turned into. -__-

This is exactly why I get scared when people mention my fangirl life and personal life in front of my parents. It's a horrible feeling when your parents yell at you for whatever they've just found out when your friend has left. Nobody realises how horrible it actually is. People are just like, "Oh, I'm going to tell her mum that, because she needs to know, and it's not my life so it doesn't affect me."

And then after I've been yelled at and everything, they send me a message over the internet like, "Sorry, I thought your mum knew." Of course she didn't know! I usually TELL people my plans in the first place, and I tell them that my mum DOESN'T KNOW. If my mum knew, then why would I be keeping it a secret? Answer me that.

This is also why I get scared when I give new friends a lift home. They don't know what it's like. It's just so annoying that I can't trust a lot of people because of this.
