Does anyone else have parents that are... well, like mine?

Okay, this happened.

"Search John Cleese?" Mum says.

"Why?" I ask, curious, typing him in wikipedia.

"Just do it."

I reply what she wanted to know and she sits down. "Kay. Won't need anything else now."

I nod and continue with what I was doing.

"Can you search Billy Connelly. NOW" She demands. I sigh and ask, "Anything else?"

"JUST DO IT," She slaps the back of my head.

So I sit back and think when my dad barges in and has a good go at me too. I tried to apoligise and he yells at me to go away. I go upstairs and write or read for a while, then come back down. She tries to be really nice and make me laugh, but I can still remember.

I only asked if there was anything else she wanted me to search. I wasn't being sarcastic or moody.

I know, you're probably thinking, 'Don't sweat it. It happens to everyone' but it's like she doesn't think I'm any use. I know it, because I've heard her and my dad talking about me.

I love them and I try to help. I make mistakes. Sometimes I say without thinking. Say the wrong thing sometimes. But it's like she doesn't know it. When she says things to me like that stuff slips out like 'Shut up!' meant as a joke. She doesn't take it like I do(just shut up and stay quiet) I learned that from her. It's not my fault I was brought up with that around.

My friends aren't much help either. They cheer me up sometimes, but they joke about it and laugh at me. I take it from them too. The only RL friends that actually listened and helped live like an hour away and go to different schools and I can't contact them. So it's the friends online that really make me happy. That really make me forget it. Reading and writing helps too, which is a reason I joined.

Don't feel like you need to reply; I need somewhere to let my feelings out.
