<p>Yeah, I really wouldn't want my parents reading my essays. Particularly since I thought about writing one about my mom.</p>
<ol>
<li>Stop comparing me to other kids. My parents make me feel like all other kids are smarter, better-behaved and more talented than I am.</li>
<li>Let me live my life the way I want, my problems affect me more than they affect them, so any mistakes I make I learn from; my mistakes are NOT a reflection of their bad parenting.</li>
<li>Do not freak just coz I think differently (opinions on politics, religion, etc...)</li>
</ol>
