Motivation and parents

Can I say I'm absolutely unmotivated in my studies?! Last year I was such a goody student, full of wishes and hopes. This year, I'm sorta...meh =_= Just meh. I feel like a loser. End of story. So depressing right? I know I have to try harder, but for what purpose? A better future? Well goddamn it, what type of future do I want?

I feel like  this:

Yah, yah, I know typical teenage angst. But of course I do have something to rant about:
My parents and their views on my friends. Apparently they won't let me associate with anyone who doesn't have good grades. OMG. WTF. Does not getting good grades mean you fail at like? That you're a douchebag that deserves no friends?? I can't believe them.

Let's call my friend Miss S
She has her faults: bitterly sarcastic, unafraid to be mean to people she doesn't like, very white and black, and loud. By loud, I mean LOUD. LOUD.

I don't mind at all, of course she gets on my nerves sometimes, but who doesn't have faults? And now parents think she's a good-for-nothing 'cause she got a C. I'd like them to get a reality check. Or maybe I secretly want to scream go to hell at the top and my lungs and stab them with my secret devil prongs...

On to slightly less angsty topics: The preview of GazettE "Pledge" has come out

And also, what do you guys think of Yumehito being the new lead singer of AYABIE?  His voice is nice, but not very unique like Aoi's was. I think they'll do quite well, so I'm cheering for them!
