My mom makes me depressed.
We were talking about my cousin whom I’ve fought with a lot because he’s homophobic and blindly republican, and I’m from San Francisco. I don’t like him very much, but my mom said that she feels sorry for him because we rarely see him go out of the house, and whenever he does, it’s with his brother. It doesn’t take long for me to realize that I feel sorry for him, too.
When it comes down to it, though, I can’t think of anything I can do. I cringe whenever he comes into the same room I’m in, though I’ve made more of an effort to be congenial. His parents don’t seem to notice, which is the alarming part. I’m afraid that I’ll end up like my cousin, which is why I can’t ever understand why my parents don’t want me to go out.

I think the reason your mom doesn’t want you to go out is simple… you’re a girl. Parents are usually more protective of their daughters. So don’t blame your parents, they’re doing this with the good of you in mind. At least that’s what I think.
