I have a daughter who is volunteering at a shelter for fire victims.
I am a junior in high school. My grades are not very good. I sleep during my high school classes. My high school is doing a blood drive this week. My parents are very rich. My parents hired Bruno Mars for my birthday party.
What career do your parents have which have made them so rich? They are both lawyers. It can be annoying how much they work, but it has its perks. I can understand that, my daughter volunteers at the shelter so much I feel like she's hardly ever home. Is it hard not having them around so much?  It can be. I'm about used to it now since they've been like this my whole life. It would be nice to have parents who are more present, but it's probably too late to change them. Have you tried sitting down and having a chat with them? I'm sure a counselor at your school would be more than happy to help! You can have a safe place to open up to them, and talk to them about your grades and sleep schedule. It's probably not a bad idea. I've been thinking of where I want to go to college and I think I might try to go further away to try to make it on my own for a bit. Is your daughter in college? That's wonderful, where have you been thinking of going? Have you talked to your advisors at school about it yet? Yes, my daughter is a sophomore at the local community college right now. She's studying to be a nurse, and is actually running the blood drive at your school this week.  I am thinking of going somewhere on the east coast. I am not used to cold weather, but it'd be a breath of fresh air. My high school is doing a blood drive this week. I've never given blood before, so I am kind of scared to do it. I've been to the east coast tons of times, I think you'll love it. There's tons of things for young people to do and fun places to travel to. If you're able to find her in the crowd, I would try getting your blood drawn by her. She's very gentle and will help you feel less nervous. :)  It's super cool that she is training to be a nurse. It's such an admirable career. Does she want to work around where you live now or move away? She wants to move away do the Doctors Without Borders program! I'm nervous that she won't be home very often though, much like your parents now. She'll make good money and will be able to provide for herself though. Do your parents tend to buy you things to make up for not spending time with you? Yes, they are so over the top with it. It's sort of ridiculous. All my birthday parties are so obnoxious. This year Bruno Mars came to it and performed.
