Today is 6/12/2013.

I had a big fight with my mom because I got a C in Algebra II. She really made me feel like a piece of garbage, saying how I won't get into any good college. I guess she's right. I also realized why I have such low self-esteem. Whenever I gain even a little bit of confidence, people like her always shoot me down. It's not like I can do anything about it. I just can't wait to go to college far far away from her.

This week's article is strangely coincidental with my situation. Although my mother raised me with a lot of love I can't see why we have become like this. I hope I can study psychology so I can figure out my mother, and stop being affected by what she says.
