I'm not researching today

Good morning cyberspacers.

I'd like to start this morning with an apology to all of you and my teacher Becky. I'm sorry for not beginning the writing of my research on tuesday, and not writing anything yesterday, and I regret to inform you all that I will not be beginning the writing today either so none of you will be able to learn about the creepy world of BJDs, I will eventually teach all of you about this entertaining, but sometimes insane hobby. However, I need to spend this morning venting from the past few days.

I fight with my mother on a rather regular basis, actually an almost daily basis, but yesterday morning really just sucked ass. Before I had even been awake for ten minutes the woman was telling me to find another place to live since when I turn eighteen she's basically going to kick me out. It's all due to the fact that she thinks I'm not trying hard enough to do my school work and that I'm on the phone too much.

At 17 studies show that you are scientifically supposed to get somewhere between eight and ten hours a night. However, as any teenager and the majority of the adult population knows, that is as likely to happen as a baby speaking coherently within three months after it is born. Despite this common knowledge my mother tries to hold me to that type of sleep schedule.

The current major wrench in this ideal is the fact that for the past six nights I have been on the phone for at least an hour with one of my friends. I'm not even to go into the dynamics of that relationship because it is practically irrelevant to the nature of this post. Anyway, I'm on the phone for extended periods of time, usually doing things that need to get done as I talk, and my mother is yelling at me purely for the fact that I am on the phone when she believes that I should be asleep.

My question for you cyberspace is whether or not you believe her yelling is founded in something real, or just an over dramatized accusation and dislike of a common teenage ideal.
