They want me to be the best at everything. To be the top 10 at school. They don't know how much effort I put into school to even get an A in every class. They complain about how much psychical effort they had to put to get to school and don't recognize all the effort I put. They think everything is easy because I can go to school in a car, have lunch, and do hw online. But it's not. I have no social life and due everything I can to please them with good grades yet all they do is complain that I'm not in the top 10. They constantly compare me to other people and want me to be this perfect person. For Christmas they got me books on how to be a billionaire and the successful habits of rich people. They didn't even get me anything that I asked for just books to better myself yet for my brother they got him what he wanted and toys and more. I'm just annoyed at how they can be so annoying sometimes. The other day at school we had a presentation type competition in which you present in front of judges and the top 14 move on to another competition, and so on. They told me they were disappointed that I didn't get top 14 and that hurt me because public speaking is not my thing. I'm very shy and they don't recognize that. They then blame me for having no social life and no friends when they don't allow me to hang out with anyone or do anything outside of the house. They want me to stay and live with them and go to the local college but I don't want that. If they keep making me feel upset and bad about myself I would want to go far away. And it hurts me because it might be selfish of me to leave them but they just make me feel like I'm never enough and I hate it.
