I want to live.

My parents won't let me drink a soda.

A soda. A Mountain Dew.

I'm almost 17 years old, and I need their permission.

This just adds to the pile of reasons why I DON'T want to be here for college.

I understand that I'm young. But that's not my fault.

My mom was the one who put me in school at such a young age.

It's her fault she didn't see this coming.

She can't punish me and make me suffer now. I'm growing up, and despite my age, I'm mature too.

I don't want to grow up and look back at my college years and see half of them as lame.

I can eventually pay off student loans.

I can't relive my youth. I don't want to continue spending it as a child of amish parents.

I want to be a stupid teenager every once in a while. I want to live.
