I have been called detatched, or dejected before. And I think I can tell you where that comes from. I have a habit (I am unable to simplify it to terms of bad or good) of convincing myself that the people making me feel terrible, or what they said, is baseless or stupid. It almost always works. If you told me tommorow that you hated me, and you

I know the feeling. It's hard not to let it get to you when it's someone you really care about. You can always convince yourself that everyone else is expendable, but parents are different; not caring about what they say means not caring about them, and that hurts as much as any words they could use.

It's not always wrong to feel. It's usually easier to just rationalize it away, but when that falls short, it's not a failure. Being human, being at the mercy of emotion once in a while isnt a flaw (and so long as you arent making decisions clouded by it, a relatively harmless one).

You'll get out of texas easily. Grades arent everything, though the tag mentality could lead you to believe it. Intelligence isnt just a matter of making grades in the high nineties every month and a half; you're one of the most self aware people I know, and I respect you for that. The hardest thing to do is to ask questions and be willing to accept any answer. You're one of a very small number of people I know who do that, and that's a better mark of true intelligence. Start planning for boston, colleges want people who can think and you're more than adept at that.
