Diary Entry Response

Today was not as I'd hoped it would go. Life is pretty crap lately. It rained and was just miserable in every way. School today went terribly, I forgot to pack lunch so I was hungry all day and I was late to almost every class. Mum and dad both went to work today, but dad has another nightshift as well. I don't think he should be going, he hasn't been feeling the best lately. My little sister Clare was really annoying. She pulled my hair out and threw a tantrum in my bedroom. But at least I have Ryan to cheer me up. I think I have found my true love. He is very caring and I love him so much. He sends me cute texts and always knows the perfect thing to say to me. He is just so perfect, but my family doesn't seem to think so. For some reason they all hate him, they think he is a bad influence on me. They just don't understand. They haven't given him a chance or got to know him. Everyone wants me to end it but I love Ryan so much. Dad threatened me yesterday. He really scared me, so much that I had to try really hard not to start crying. He told me that if I didn't end my relationship with Ryan the family would disown me! I am in a troubled place now. I love my family and I need them, I never want to loose them. But at the same time I think I've found the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm stuck. I wish they wouldn't make me choose. I love them both and this isn't fair at all. Family is suppose to stick by you with whatever decisions you make, to support you and help you when you need it. My family doesn't seem to want to do that at all, instead just toss me out like trash. Dad says he doesn't like Ryan for "reasons". Apparently it's because he doesn't get good grades like me and that he works at a dodgy mechanic shop. I've told them that his job is temporary, and that his slipped grades is because his trying to work more to earn enough money to pay for his little sisters surgery. I think they just don't like him because his family is poorer than ours, since we are quiet wealthy and live in a nice house and things. I with they could get past their prejudices to see the great guy in him. He does so much for others, is so loyal and always does his best. I wish my family could see what I see. Uh, I have dinner now. Better get ready for another lecture about it all.
