Ok, well, I guess I'll be the first to post a rant. I tried this once before, and it wouldn't post, so I have to type this whole LONG thing again. And yes, it is very long
Ok, well, first, I have to say that I'm REALLY struggling in math. So today I had a math problem that I just wasn't understanding. So mom came and tried to help me. Now mom is somebody where if you don't understand it the first time she says it, she gets kinda frusturated with you. So she was trying to explain the problem to me, and I just wasn't getting it! So she got kinda mad at me, and left. So my teacher tries to explain it to me, and I still, don't get it. So before play practice, I went to mom and said that I was sorry, but I just wasn't understanding the problem, it just wasn't making sense. So she said it was Ok, but that she just wishes that I would trust her in things like math. I don't know why she said that, but that started this whole big thing! So something came up, and I asked something like, well, do you trust me? And she said, No, I'm not to the point where I can fully trust you yet. I was like, WHAT?!?!? Why can't you fully trust me. I mean, I'm 13 1/2 and a very responsible person! Why in the world can you not fully trust me?!?! So umm, ya. I have all the angry thoughts rolling around in my head. I'm just so mad that she can't fully trust me, and I don't understand this either.
So ya, that's my rant, sorry that it's so long.

I think it is natural for parents to not actually fully trust their kids.. I know your not and I'm not but lots of teenagers are prone to lying and just aren't trusting.. You'll be OK though, trust me. And I fully understand the whole math thing.. I hate math, and I mean HATE! Some of the things are just so hard to understand! Call me stupid but my 11 year old cousin helps me with math since I stink at it so bad.. And in return I help her with reading and spelling. Math just IS NOT my thing! I feel dumb since my 11 year old cousin helps me with it (she is two years younger than I am) but at least math is my only problem.
