I’m 15 and I’m overworked.

I do all the chores in my house and rarely have time for myself. Yes, my parents do work, but at least they have spare time. I see something wrong with this picture but I’m afraid to tell my parents that I am working too hard. When I do, they shrug me off and call themselves great parents. (I do have time for schoolwork though)

And this weekend I threw out my back scraping gunk from the gutters and my mom is mad cuz I can’t work.

And even through all this work I’m trying to find a paying job.

I feel so overwhelmed… I just dunno what to do.

It’s just housework really, and they’re making me look for a job during the time I have to do my schoolwork.

Right now I’m here cuz I threw out my back and can’t work.
