-- Posted by Anonymous at 7:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I'm all happy and then my mom calls me and she talks to me like I'm socially retarded. This creates a inferiority complex and no wonder I'm so shy and have had such low self-esteem. I'm realizing this now. I use to always try to get her validity so she would stop talking to me that way.  I just don't care anymore but for some reason it still makes me sad to talk to her. -- Posted by Lady Catastrophic at 7:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 All parents have that effect on a lot of kids. -- Posted by Vbby at 7:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 dont shoot yourself.  please -- Posted by ird13 at 7:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I feel the same way with my parents, I think we all do =( -- Posted by UltimaTaz at 7:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Next time she does it, do it back.

Go, "I...Speak..The..English...Okkaaayyy" Yarly. My dad and his girlfriend occasionally do that "you're x retarded" thing too. Don't bother getting her approval. You gotta live your life for you. -- Posted by HiRyo at 7:07 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Welcome to the life of the majority of teens in this world -- Posted by cheer4jonas at 7:16 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Ya..
