I hate my father. I hate all this damn press. I just want to get away for a few days.

It's not hard enough on me that I thought I was going to lose my brother the other day, but my father brought up endorsement deals that had been offered to me. And when I said no to all of them, he nearly lost it. I'm not perfect. Nowhere near. But he truly expects me to be. I'm not sure how much longer I can hide how I feel about everything from him.

I understand he's proud of me, but it's a lot for an ordinary school boy to take sometimes. I'm not special, not in the least. At the most I consider myself rather average. So when I became the golden child in my father's eyes...

Maybe I could fake sick for a few days...

[/]

So now that I'm recuperated, I think I could use a day or two of R&R.

	At this point I really do think he's trying to live vicariously through me. He got pissed that I wouldn't take any endorsement deals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He told me about a girl him and mum think I should date. He got a little suspicious when I said I didn't want to meet her. I think I might have to ask Cho out again just to keep up appearances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
