Alive, but dead?

I hate it when parents tell us what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. They dont need to tell us these things, most of us are more than capable of making these decisions for ourselves. For example, do we really have to rake the leaves repeatedly over autumn. Cant we just wait til theyre done falling and then rake them, that way it only trakes one time. I mean is anyone really going to walk in our backyard and say it looks horrible? If our parents are really this subconscious about things like this. Then why bring us, the ones who could care less, into their own personal conflict. If they really care that much about it, when they create their own objectives, why dont they complete them theirselves? Is it too much to ask? And if you try to explain this to them, they play the parent card. Which ultimatley means, no excuses, theyre right and were wrong, end of discussion. That really pisses me off, and its the same for the majority of the adults around here. Even people in a political office. They say they want to help the world, and make the middle class better. Or are they? They want to decrease taxes for the poor and middle classes, and increase for the rich and i'm all for it, really. But think about it. If we decrease taxes for the middle/poor classes and then increase for the rich, then the rich people; who own most of the major stores corporations, etc. Won't be getting as much profit as theyre used to, so what happens then... pay cuts, and we get fired. Which takes us back to where we were or even worse. Then the kids, us, get the crap end of it. When all the way through, we had nothing to do with the conflicts. It's like as though were living and breathing, but everyone else is in control of our lives. When in fact, it seems to us like were dead. They make the decisions for us, they make the world what it is, and they're the ones that screw it up. I just cant wait til it's our turn...
