I Feel Like A Terrible Daughter

<div class="ExternalClass95FBF5BA35344C3295FDE5A99E20A6EE"><p><span class="ms-rteFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-4" style="">​<span style="">I feel like a terrible daughter to my family. I'm irresponsible, lazy, and I don't do things for myself. When my parents tell me something important, I get an attitude. I don't know what's wrong with me. I wish I wasn't part of my family. ​​</span></span></p></div>
