Dear mom and dad,
I wasn't born to fulfill your unfulfilled aspirations. I wasn't born so that you could brag to the relatives about how I scored so awesome in a test. I am not a clay that you can mold or shape into whatever you want. I am a person. And I am sorry if I am not like how you wanted me to be or how you were in your childhood. Just because you don't get my interests , my hobbies, my likes and dislikes doesn't mean that they are wrong. Why won't you let me be me? Don't you get it that not everyone is the same? Just because my friend has a good figure and is athletic doesn't mean I will be a sports-freak as well. Just because my friend tops in class and is earmarked for a good university doesn't mean that I am too. My whole like I have tried to impress you, fulfill your expectations, but I am almost an adult now, just a few months. Why won't you let me be? By forcing me to be someone else you are taking away my happiness, my creativity and most importantly my ability to dream and hope. I am sorry if I am such a disappointment, but you must know, that if today I become an insecured and coward person it is because you never let me learn on my own, you never told me that you like me how I am, you always tried to steer me in the way you want me to be. So tell me. isn't it natural that I don't like who I am? You always told me that I am not good enough. So sorry, if I can't be like that confident, cool, good-looking friend of mine. Before you blame me, you go and see how her parents me. Then you come and tell me.
Love,
your daughter.
