When I'm with my close friends I act a lot different than I do when I'm with my family. Sometimes I feel bad that my family does not know the way I really am outside the house but if they knew I don't think they would approve. Its not that I'm a bad kid or anything, I just get very obnoxious and can draw a lot of attention to myself, when my family would rather keep a low profile.
When I'm with my friends I don't hold in my opinions or censor my language, I'm not afraid to made a fool of myself, and I can talk to them about anything, where with my family I can't do any of that. When I'm with my parents I don't swear, I'm not loud, & I act fairly responsible. If i acted the way I do with my family as I do with my friends there would be some issues. Its like my family doesn't understand what being a teenager is like, and they act like they skipped the teens years. School and friends houses are the only places I can be myself. It seems sad that my parents claim to know me, when they have no clue what happens when I walk out and close the front door everyday.
I feel the most like myself when I'm with my friends. Yeah, I do certain things that I would never do by myself, but who doesn't? Even with friends there is a certain amount of peer pressure that I tend to give in to, but its on things that won't hurt anything or anyone and that are not a very big deal.
I know that I feel bad that I can't be myself around my parents, but a lot of my friends are the same way, and keep certain things about themselves to themselves. I guess part of being a teenager is learning how to deal with parents that are not understanding and live two completely different lives at school and at home.
