I don't want to be a kid anymore. I'm almost 14, and I'm interested in boys, makeup, clothes, stuff like that. My parents make me feel bad about this. I took some babyish butterfly decorations off my wall to put up string lights. My dad looked up there and frowned. I play Roblox to keep up an illusion, but when he's not looking I go back to YouTube. I like music like 34+35, Kiss Me More, and Say So. My dad thinks my favorite song is Shake It Off. My mother often looks at me and asks when I got so grown up. I love them, so I want to make them happy. But how will I do that and be myself?

I'm sorry, I know it's hard to keep an identity. I hope they understand
ReplyI wrote this to explain to my dad how I am not the same I was when I was younger. "I’ve lost interest in a lot of things and I started liking a lot of new things too. I am a teenager and I am constantly changing, trying to find myself in this complicated world that no one seems to understand. Life gets boring really quickly when you stay within the limits you already know, so I want to push those limits and explore beyond my knowledge. I am still the person I have always been, I just have opened my eyes to see from a different perspective. Having a small mind is lot like having small legs, it slows you down, you have to put in that extra work to keep up, and if you don’t then you are just going to get left behind." Just know you are trying to find yourself and changing is completely normal. You are going to find new things to love, and that is great. Do not feel bad for growing and maturing. I know parent-child relationships are difficult, but maybe try to talk to them or write them a letter so you can say everything you want. I hope things get better :)
