So Sick of People!!!!

So Sick of People!!!!
Posted By: Celebrity Carruth on June 14, 2005

This is my first entry and its gonna be a real mean one!!!! I am so sick of people always having something negative to say about the decisions I have come to make. In August I will be starting my freshmen year at Coppin State University in Baltimore, MD. Why did u pick that school? Its in such a bad neigborhood? I'm from Philly and I got accepted to Widener University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Clark Atlanta University, Virginia Union University, and Coppin. Thats the only schools I applied to.



My first choice was Clark Atlanta but of course my family didn't want me to go it was to far in their eyes and plus Clark wasn't giving up no money, and they seem as though they want to take out any loans! So what was I suppose to do? When I visited Coppin I loved it but its now June and everyone has their opinions, where were you in the fall? Then my parents make me so mad!!!! You have such a bad attitude when you fail we'll be right there! Why would you even question the fact of me failing? Then my mother says me and her don't have a relationship anymore...Lies I tell that woman everything more then she needs to know....She's just mad cause I'm starting to think on my own. So from now on I'm not telling her anything that goes on in my life.......

I agree, you should make your own decision, but don't push family away. In time they will relize that your grown, cause in their eyes your still their little girl. Your family is alway there for you.

You are young and you will need to talk to your mommy about something in the future. Be careful what you say, regardless of how mad you are. You are always going to be your parents little girl regardless of how old you think you are, my mommy just went off on this little boy for me and I'm about to be 20. Nonetheless, this is your decision because you have to go stay here for the next four, maybe five years. Are you sure this is the school that you want to go to? If it is have a ball, but represent and remember why you are there! Take the advice that you get from your parents, however don't let anybody have a influence that they are not suppose to have. You are the judge to how much influence that they should have.

Baby Girl:

I know you are frustrated with people offering their advice and trying to tell you what to do, but keep your momma close. Sometimes we (mothers) say things that we don't mean to say. Sometimes we (mothers) want to say things that just don't come out quite right. The hardest job you will ever have in your life is being a mother. I've been one for almost 18 years now and the tests just keep coming. Pray for your momma that she will make good decisions where you are concerned and that you will be able to remain respectful to her if you have to discuss and disagree with her about some of them.

Just remember to keep her close to your heart. I don't know what I would do if my daughter decides that she's not gonna discuss anything that goes on in her life with me. I want to be there to warn her about obstacles that I surpassed so that she won't have to go through all of them. I want to be there when she decides that she wants to try things and some just don't work out quite right. I also want to be there to share in the joys of her life.

Remember: No matter what or who comes along, no one will ever love you like your momma. Love and respect your momma, Baby Girl. Keep her close.

Sorry if I got a little emotional. I love my daughters so much and I pray that I never do or never have made them feel like you are feeling now.

thanks ms. monica i totally feel where you are coming from and kinda understand where my mother is to. i just wanna make my own mistakes thats the only way i canbecome stronger. maybe i'll understand a little more when i have my own children. but thanks for the advice i really took it in.

You're welcome! Stay strong and prayerful and you will do just fine. If ever you need to know a mom's perception about something feel free to ask. I promise to be truthful and never judge.

In that one blog you pretty much described my everyday life for the past 4 years of high school. But I've learned that besides yourself, your family (especially parents) are your harshest critics. And you probably don't want to hear this, cuz I know I didn't, but in their own way they mean well. Just let em know that the way they're coming at you is not helping the situation and that in order to become a responsible adult you have to do your own thing and make your own mistakes. I've known I was going to Hampton since I got accepted in December and I'm still getting negativity from my family. But keep your head up and do what you have to do to make yourself happy. It will take a while but when your family and others see that the negativity isn't affecting you, they'll come to respect your decisions and realize that you're slowly blossoming into an adult.
