The only reason I'm writing this to you now is because there's a part of me that's as immature as I know you are. You're so young and have SO much to learn, but it seems you're more interested in being heard with a big mouth. I'll bet in your future, you may be like me...getting used to the taste of your own foot. There have been numerous times when I put my hand over my mouth because I immediately regret whatever I let slip out.
You have so much to offer people, but you're limiting yourself to so many things. You make yourself exclusive to your world. What bothers me about this is that I see a lot of myself in you. If I behaved the way you do and said what you say to me, then I really owe my parents an apology, because what you said, and how you said it did not sound anything near the respect I deserve from you. I've done so much for you, and I've put up with more of your bullshit than I probably should.
I wonder if I'm doing anything wrong? Is there a step with you I should or shouldn't have taken? If you're smart enough to be a smart-ass, then you should be smart enough to know when not to be one.
You're still so young. Now, I can see you getting along in your life and either being someone's bff, or the most annoyingly rude person on the planet to others. With me, you're unfortunately getting closer to the latter, especially with the remark you made to me today. You may not have meant it the way it came out, but I could've sworn you had dissed me, as if trying to look like you were better than others, even me.
I'm going to try different ways of approaching and talking to you. I'm still willing to help you in any way I can, but you've got to earn some of my respect back, because I can't work with people who don't respect me. Watch what you say, and watch what you do because if you keep treating others the way you're doing it now, you'll have a hard time making friends, much less keeping any.
