I wish my parents didn't talk about money problems so much in front of me and my siblings. They talk about how broke he are that they have less than 100 dollars. I worry whether the light bill will be paid or not when I get home from school. I have to chose between asking for money to pay class fees or figuring it out on my own because I don't want to burden them. I want to help them but I can't. I hate the situation and I wish things were different. Even my little brother who's 8 says we're poor. He says I wish I could get that but I know we're poor so we can't. My heart breaks everytime he bring it up because he shouldn't know. friends asks why they haven't been to my house but I can't tell them that it's a mess. They argue about money all the time. They are argue all the time in general. Everything turns into a fight with them. I try to be perfect but my grades are never something to be proud about because they have bigger things to worry about. I wish I was more important to them.
