Am I the only one who needs respect from my parents?

It's not like I don' respect them anymore. It's just that, I'm also human, I also need respect. It's their reponsibility to respect their children, too. It's a give-and-take system. If they want to be respected, they should respect me, too.

I have my own opinions. I have my own mind. I can think by myself. They can't just tell me what I should do and hurl back every day how they raised me. How much they sacrifcied for me. Like, sacrifices aren't a mandatory thing. It is your choice to sacrifice and I didnt contribute to that. Like I didn't beg or bug their conscience to sacrifice for me. It's their choice.

I'm not a rebel, but I think I'm getting there

I hate always being the prime suspect.i dont want to be always told what I should do. I hate it when people dont respect me for what i do and just blame me for everything.

In a family, children don't always need to be the one to adjust and respect, keep our mouths shut. I thought this is a freed place? We have the right to speak for ourselves? For once, why can't people listen to what I'll say? Even before I could utter a word, they already had something to blame me for. They already had their retorts

I'm also human. It doesn't mean that you see me as a bad bitch, you won't respect me. I act like one, but deep inside, I'm not. I'm also as fragile as you can be. I also need respect and love.

I always listen to your sermons. Why can't you for once, at least listen to me? Don't always think of how hard the things are in your point of view. Also think of how things revolve in my shoes. Also think of how I should be a bitch in front of you bc that's how you look at me? Think of how I should hold the tears within bc you see me as a hard emotionless rock? Bc you see me as the hard-hearted girl who'll never keep your hurtful words inside?

If you can only read my thoughts, you'll be ashamed; you'll be in tears. I might be only your children, but I'm also like you. I need respect and affection. I'm also human. I can get hurt, too.

A bitch is still a girl.
