ive been working my ass off day and night, 7 days a week non stop. It has lead me to a place of isolation from my friends and family. So i get up today and go to this school thing for a project and I came home at 5pm- and at this time i hvent ate anything and was feeling sick from exhaustion . so im in the kitchen and theres nothing to eat. i ask my dad for 5 bucks to got get a sandwich or something and this is where i get confused.
-He tells me, why the fuck would i give you 5 bucks to go eat when you are too lazy too work.
-so i tell him, where do you think im at when im not home for 13 hours a day????? im at school working my butt off.
-and he says, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Working? HAHAHAHA, school is easy. when i was your age i had a job and went to school.
-keep in mind he never finished highschool. and i go to stanford university.
and yes i dont have a job because i dont want it to affect my studies or delay my graduation day. but am i really that lazy?
I guess he’s right that i dont have a job but he laughs with my mom when i say that ive been working hard. and it hurts my feelings because the only reason im working hard in school is for them. im working hard for that day i can take care of them so they wont have to work a day of there lifes, so thats why i choose to be isolated, to have no contact with friends and family so i can focus on my goal.
-Im the first one in my family to go to a university and i get laughed at because i say its hardwork.
– i never get recognize for my hardwork at home.
only by professors.
Professors always tell me, “Boy your parents must be proud of you” and i just replay with, “They sure are”.
if only they knew….
Anyways at the end of the day i dont argue with them because you cannot change a parents perspective. in there eyes i will always be lazy and stupid. im just trying to fight a fight all by my lonesome. everyone hates me at home. and honestly idk why? all i do is work hard in school and ask for so little like 5 bucks for a sandwich. am i wrong? am i not seeing things clearly? i would really like to know.
kuz idk what im doing wrong in there eye.

Hahahahah your parents are stupid like highschool is a cake walk compared to college!
they are not stupid, they’re just not familiar with the school system so thats why they give me a hard time. they grew up with parents that put them to work since they where 5 years old in there foreign country. they have no idea what i do in school or the type of school i got to. its just sad because they dont understand and will never.
I feel ya dude, I didnt mean to come on so strong. I truly get the gravity of your situation.
thanks newdanny21, and its ok no worries. sometimes i call them stupid in my head when they piss me off lol.
Lmao you sound alot like me. Different situation. Same person.
I totally get where your coming from. I work my butt off all day at school and drive 45-60 minutes to and from school and then get grief about me not working hard enough or not contributing enough to our family. It’s just not fair. But you weren’t in the wrong. I feel like parents don’t know what pressure we’re under and say stupid things. But all honesty, those little, mindless things they say and don’t really think about hurts a lot. So I totally get it. Good luck with university. Prove your family wrong and make a better life for yourself. 🙂
