i'm a senior this year in highschool and i'm actually having a good time. i use to have a bitter resentment towards school. i had very few friends who constantly fought. i never went out anywhere. i felt unaccepted and lonely a lot of the time and i think thats where my depression and bulimia stemmed from (i was diagnosed with both last year)

this year i have a wonderful boyfriend from another school who loves bringing me to his friends movie nights and parties. last night he brought me to my first concert! (shinedown) :D i'm gone much more often then i use to, spending time with him and his friends. now my parents are guilting me saying that they think i dont like spending time with the family, that there just not good enough, and when they ask for favors say "you can do something for us for once"

im so dumbstruck and hurt i dont know how to respond
 
They feel like they are loosing their little girl.They love you and it's hard on them to see you giving love to another.Just make sure you do spend time with them.Your relationship with your parents will change alot within the next few years...
 
They miss you.... :) they're used to you being around and now you aren't there as much as you used to be.

Make an effort to spend some special time with your family. One night a week won't hurt, will it?

I'm glad you got your illnesses treated and you found some friends. How was Shinedown? I want to see them sometime.
 
Make sure to keep them in your life. Talk to them about your dates. Guilt trips only work when you accept them. Don't. They have an adjustment to make. Don't fault them for caring too much.
