Dear grandparents...
1-I am fucking 18 years old, do not try to tell me how to dress! I buy my own clothes which means I can choose how to wear them. And the more you make comments, the more revealing my outfits will get because guess what IT AINT YOUR FUCKING CHOICE WHAT I WEAR!!
2-Stop treating me like I am 12. I am able to sleep out, or stay out late and still wake up in time for my responsibilities, because incase I haven't attempted to tell you enough times already I DO NOT SLEEP AND MAKING ME COME HOME EARLY WILL NOT CHANGE THAT!
3-Realize that it is hard to adjust from not having to check in at home if i leave in the mid-late afternoon. I simply must say where I am going, who is going to be there, and return by curfew. Therefore, I will forget to call once in a while, and i will be slightly late if I am used to coming home at 12 at home and you never specify a change. CRY A RIVER BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET THE FUCK OVER IT!
4-Realize that you sound utterly rediculous when you say I cant spend 1 night 3 miles down the road, yet I can go to Sacramento as often as I would like with no questions asked. THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO LIE TO YOU SO I CAN SLEEP AT FRIEND'S HOUSES!
5-Maybe if you gave me a chance to be responsible you would see that I am old enough to make my own decisions. I did infact wake myself up with ample time to get ready for work every single day! No matter how late I was up the night before. I usually remember to call or leave a not saying where I am going, and realize that I do have a good sense of judgement, and the more I know you do not want me to do something, the more likely I am to rebel
6- Finally, STOP ASSUMING THAT JUST BECAUSE ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE GUYS, I AM UP TO NO GOOD!!! You were teenagers once too, I know, but you weren't this teenager. I am old enough to make my own choices involving my life, and you telling me that you dont think I should do something will have absolutely NOOOO INFLUENCE on me!!!
Realize that the only time I am truely happy is when I am with friends, and you limiting my ability to hang out is limiting my happiness. I left LA so I could get out of my depression, yet you are making me wish I was going home. Thankfully I have absolutely amazing friends who make me want to stay.

P.S. What I am trying to say is stop treating me like I am 2. I am not a child, and you guys didnt even meet me till I was like 8 or 9. Therefore, you should try to think a little more about what makes me happy, and what makes you appear to have the upper hand. You are asking for rebelion. I can be told what to do when I am at home, I dont need babysitting when I am 500 miles away as well.
"How does it feel to know that you are the one twisting the knife inside me?"
By the way... I am actually having a good time... I just needed to vent about my grandparents. I have an amazing time when I am out with my friends.
