You're a lovely person with a heart of pure gold. Everyone knows it. I may not know every specific detail, but your parents need to leave you alone. You cant live the life they want you to live THEIR way. You have live it your way doing what you like to do whenever you want to do it. You're not alone. You're never alone. You have me. You have your friends. Ok?!^u^ I love you, sis!! Stay strong!

Woah woah, your parents think you're a selfish monster who doesn't care about their feelings? I think they're talking about themselves. òAó You're pouring your precious time, soul and energy out to please their selfish wants and expectations without considering your feelings. I don't mean to be rude and disrespect my close friend's parents, but seriously, I think they are in need of some serious counseling. I don't know what your parents are going through but they really have no right to treat you like this. I mean, I'm sure your parents do love you, you are their precious daughter and I know they want wants best for you, but they are taking the wrong approach. It tears my heart to see my friend falling apart and being treated like this by the two people that are supposed to treat you like the greatest treasure in the world that God has given them.
I don't know how much you've been talking to your parents about your situation but you really need to speak out and settle this once and for all. Ask them to sit at a table together with you to talk about how broken they are making you feel and explain that all their efforts of trying to make you this so-called "ideal" daughter is a total backfire (and not to mention unrealistic) and it's eating up your soul and destroying you. I'm scared that one day you'll forget to be yourself or just totally snap. I went to church this morning and the pastor talked about how God created each and every living creation uniquely. There is not one person who has the skill to excel at everything. A duck is an excellent swimmer, but as hard as he may try, he can never beat a cheetah on land, a cheetah is a master at running but they cannot swim gracefully like a penguin, and as hard as they try flapping their little wings, penguins cannot fly. One person cannot excel and accomplish everything in the world. This is why we all coexist to work together and use each of our own individual skills and gifts that God bestowed us for a purpose that God set for us.
I pray to God that your parents will wake up and see what an awful burden they are bringing to you. You are one of the most dedicated, sweetest, and caring person ever, you have a strong-will, a fire that blazes in your soul, don't let anyone, not even your parents, put that fire out! >.<
And welcome back to the states Sayura-chan, I'm glad you came back safely~! >//< *hugs*
I really hope that your summer brightens up Sayura-chan! ;//u//;
Your friends are all here for you~

I don't think your a monster. When I talk with you online in past, you were a kind and nice person. I just think sometimes, Parents and Children say things they don't really mean. Hope things get better.

Tenshi-

Sayura-chan its good to hear you are home safe and sound. Do tell us whats been going on with you. We are all hear for you. :)

I'm glad to hear your back safe and sound. I hope things have been going well! (hugs)

Glad you're back now sweet Sayura^^ *hugs*

Ahww Sayura-chan, I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this! *hugs* Your parents do not have any right to put you down like that! Even if they're going through a hard time themselves. It's just completely unfair of them to take their feelings out on you. And I, as well as all of your other friends on theO, know how hard you have worked and how much you've had to go through already. You deserve to have a good summer more than anyone! I hope there's someone IRL you can talk to, but if there isn't, you can always PM me and I'll be here to support you! I wish I knew more about your situation so that I might be able to help you more, but for now I can only say that you're a very selfless, sweet, caring, hardworking, ambitious and very talented person, and you should remember that!<33333 Plus you're one of my best friends on here, and I for one will never let you down!:3

Take care Sayura-chan, stay strong & keep shining! *huggles tight*

If you're a monster then I'm the anti-Christ.

How on earth could you possibly be a 'selfish monster'? You're one of the nicest, most selfless, hardworking people I know.
You actually put up with the extremely hard work with the SAT and did it willingly. I would have rebelled and done what ever possible to change it.
I'm definitely not a great daughter. I don't think about the hard things my parents have had to do very much at all, nor my grandparents, etc... You're the type that is a deep, dedicated, thoughtful person. If your parents think you're that bad, then what warped sense of perfection are they expecting from you?!
You're AMAZING and FANTASTIC and they ought to realize that you can't be a hundred and one percent perfect, and you put in so much hard work...

I can't stay long at my parents long because I'm horrible at holding grudges. My dad isn't someone I can easily stay mad at.
But my mom... I'm almost always at odds with her. I argued with her so much last week I went and beat on a punching bag for a good twenty minutes and ripped up my knuckles I was punching so hard.

None of my advice will be or is very good because I'm not a good person. I can't give great advice.
But we are all here to talk to you.

You need some time to yourself, to think things out. But NOT TO BEAT YOURSELF UP.

If you really need to express something to your parents but don't think you can do it in person, write a letter to them. I read that in a book once, but I've always been too afraid to do it myself...

I started reading a book recently I got called Do Hard Things--A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations by Alex and Brett Harris--two brothers who've done amazing things from a young age.
From the two chapters I've read so far, you're just as amazingly dedicated as they were and still are.
I recommend the book to you when you get back. Religion is closely intertwined with the book, which I have a hard time digesting, but I have a feeling you'll like it. And it possibly could help you.

Stop listening to people that put you down! Even if it’s your parents it doesn’t make them right in any way shape or form. Look at yourself and what your friends tell you, you’re a great person. Just because you want some comfort, fun, and time to yourself doesn’t mean you’re selfish at all. I feel that your parents are being the selfish ones since they put you down like this. They should be praising you and telling you how awesome of a daughter you really are to them.

Anybody the constantly throws up in your face how supposedly “bad” you are is not being fair or considerate to you. You might feel as through your being selfish to them but it’s only because they make it seem that way so you feel bad. Don’t be ashamed that you want better for yourself and don’t let anyone make you feel bad about it either. Everyone deserves to be happy, EVERYBODY.

You’re too good of person to feel the way you do. Me and all your friends love you for who you are. We wouldn’t be saying this if it wasn’t true. We might not live with you or know what you do 24/7 but it shows that you’re a very caring person here. Don’t let your parent’s guilt trips make you feel anything less then awesome because you are.

(hugs) I hate to see you like this because so much has happened already. They shouldn’t be doing this to you; you put your heart in everything you do JUST to please them. And once you want to give yourself something they want to tear you down. That’s not right and it’s never going to be right. Just like they deserve something to enjoy and some time to relax you do too. For Christ sakes your only 16, there is plenty of time to be an adult. Its summer and you deserve to enjoy yourself fully!

Your parents just really make me mad. >:C

(hugs) Be strong girl and don’t give in either. There’s nothing wrong with telling people how you feel even if they don’t like it.

You are the most selfless person I know. Your parents are WRONG.
They are calling you these things to do you to do what they want you to do. Its not because you are selfish. Its because they are using the guilty card on you. My parents use this too sometimes. Don't listen to them.

I can't really imagine what it must be like for you, but I'm sorry.

Remember, I love you and you are NOT selfish, NOT ungrateful, and not any bad thing they call you because from what I have seen over the years is a sweet, caring, loving girl. If they can't appreciate or see that in you, they are missing out.

I'm here for you, if you can call me somehow from Korea, I'll pick up.

Oh Sayura, sweetheart. *hugs* You're certainly not selfish, you're one of the most caring people I know. You're kind, sweet, smart, beautiful, and just everything fantastic. I can't believe your parents, that's so horrible to say to your own daughter. I wish I could smack some sense into them. They don't realize how lucky they are to have you! Your parents need some therapy. Seriously. Do you have another family member you could talk to about this? Have you told your parents how you feel about them talking to you like this?

No matter what Sayura I will always be proud of you. You're a great girl, and I am so sorry that you have to face all of this. You do not deserve this. I know your parents love you, I just don't think they know what they're actually saying to you or take into consideration your feelings. But Sayura, you're NOT alone. We're here with you, your friends are always with you. So please lean on us and let us support you, cause we're here for you. *hugs*

I love you sweetheart. If you need to talk, you know you can message me. I wish you all the best and I hope things get better for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. *hugs*
