This is probably gonna make me sound like some stupid teen, but I really can't stand my mother. I'm constantly trying to impress her, going so far as to give up the things I love (i.e. my music lessons and elective) for an extra science course to look good on a college application. My sibling have done the same. We just want her to spend time with us and be proud of us but it doesn't work. I'm sixteen, and I have learned to live with this, and also learned to love what she wants me to do. Now, however, when I need her most as a mother, to teach me how to deal with the real world, she is refusing to help. I am trying to learn how to drive, and since she has the summer off (she's a teacher) I figured this was the appropriate time to ask. She is refusing. Not even a week ago I sat her down to talk with her about the fact that she needs to take more value in the time she has with her kids, because my little brother was starting to feel it too. He is twelve years old, he doesn't need to be worried about whether or not his mother supports him while he is out on the field playing as the star football player. He should be focused on leading his team. My sister and I have always been the ones there for him. In this, however, I cannot teach myself. I have to have someone to take me out and go driving. My best friend's mother takes so much stock in her children's lives and their understanding of the world and culture they came from, I am jealous. I don't have any cultures to represent, and I don't truly have a parent I can look up to and trust. I feel so empty and I just don't know what to do.
But I guess that all teenagers right?

Incoherent Musings...
I can't think anymore. It's been days now since I've felt like myself. Who am I even anymore? Why do I feel like I'm just waiting to be a lamb to the slaughter?...
