Dear parents,
No, you are not the judges of what I can handle. I am my own person whose mileage varies from yours; what is disturbing to you is normal to me. I'm old enough now that you don't need to always be in my business about everything. I hope you realize that I'm not the sheltered kid you wanted me to be; nothing good ever comes of being sheltered. If you could honestly stop viewing me as a child, maybe my life would be a little more stress-free.
On another matter, when I try to talk calmly and be reasonable with you, you try and tell me that I'm wrong/being childish. Excuse me? I'm the one trying to have a mature, civilized conversation, and here you are completely ignoring that. You tell me that I need to grow up and learn to be reasonable? Hah, it appears that I'm way ahead of you. Drop your holier-than-thou attitudes and learn to listen to everyone, regardless of age or status. And really, your threats of physical violence are the real childish things here, not me.
