There honestly should be nothing wrong with opening the door in my neighborhood... The only thing that's happened around here to memory is something about a baby drowning in the pool next door
And yeah, I generally don't whine or anything about the more reasonable things (curfew, chores, and such), except when joking around. But... really... answering the door...?(!) *sigh* Maybe it's just leftover paranoia from when we used to live in San Francisco... Though I still think they're being too paranoid. My brother got to walk to school by himself and answer the door by my age, and that was when we lived in the big city! Why can't I? *whining* 
So I finally grew a brain and remembered to give myself a signature... Whoopee.

I agree with this, but there's a difference between meeting your parents halfway and having your parents use financial dependence as an excuse to sabotage any progress you're trying to make for yourself. That's manipulation.
Think about it. How does one expect to become financially independent when just your attempts to get a job are being thwarted?
On the other hand, 9mayasato9, I could be reading a little too much into it, and I apologize if I am. If you just turned 18, it's possible they aren't used to you being an adult. And if your brother didn't get the same treatment at your age, I'm sure there's a classic case of 'being overprotective of the daughter' in there as well. Still, the closer you get to graduation, well... just be careful.

Yeah, that's why I think I might've overreacted a bit. They're probably just being overprotective of me, with the answering the door thing. And them stopping me from going to that interview was probably a good thing, since I already suspected the whole thing was a scam (it was, mostly), but wanted to do the interview anyway, for the experience and to see if I could get hired even if I wouldn't take the job. So, I made it out to sound worse than it was. But then, they really haven't let me do much of anything out of the house, even if it's good for me; frankly, even if it was a legitimate interview, I feel like they still would have stopped me, sooner or later. Heck, they don't even want me tutoring my friends! They were about to say "no" when I mentioned I'd be tutoring a friend on my own time until I said I'd get paid, and even then, they barely let me do it and made me stop early! "Tell her you're busy!" Busy!? Busy doing what!? My homework that doesn't exist yet (as it was barely the first week of school)!? Chores that I did that morning before I left!? I know my own limits; I know my curfew; I know when I have to stop if I really do have something to do! I wasn't even at those limits! Or am I missing something here?
I appreciate that most of the time, they're just trying to work in my best interest. But it's really just not helping; they say I'm not ready to be independent, because I lack so much experience, I don't act responsibly, etc. But would it kill them to let me get some experience? And of course I don't "act responsibly" and "need reminding" all the time; they remind me to do things I was already going to do or planned on doing at a set time or day (and told them I'd do at that time or day) practically every time I walk into the same room as them! They don't need to remind me! They just do it anyway and insist that I can't do anything on my own because of that! Ugh!
On the bright side, they seem to be willing to let me go to school out-of-state. Hopefully they'll let me stay there by myself during the school year. If they want to go to Washington with me, I don't think I'll be able to handle it; I'd rather just go back to Plan A and transfer to UC Berkeley, even if it promises to be a pain in the butt...
So I finally grew a brain and remembered to give myself a signature... Whoopee.

I have to admit that is pretty weird. Maybe they just don't want their kid to grow up or something. Which is sweet, in a way, but obviously impractical.
Can't shake off the feeling that I'm being socially manipulated these days. Maybe I'm just paranoid? Or am I just sensing something that others aren't, for some strange reason? Hm...

But even if I did have a reason the same thing will happen. People will make me feel bad for feeling a certain way, tell me I need to stop playing videogames and watch anime and avoid the people who are angering but then I'll just be running away from the problem, and most importantly people will make asumptions about me...Argh!

Okay there, take a deep breath now. Sounds like multiple things are bugging you here but try to explain why all these things bug you ( or at least 1, 2 or 3 important ones). Understanding the cause of my anger helps me deal with it, maybe it will help you too.
Or don't, simply venting at the vent station is allowed.
I am curious about why you think nobody understands you though.

Yeah, I guess I was just venting. I know I sounded immature, but I was just... pouring out feelings, you know?
Since you asked - I can't explain all of my problems here for the simple reason I don't even know where to begin with. But, in short, i'm under huge pressure. I'm filled with school tests and at least four university exams for the next three months. And I can't help but press myself harder and harder in my academic life. My career is and always will be my number one priority in life since I can't/don't want to rely on my family and relationships. And to make things worse, I have these pathological problems with anxiety that are wasting me away.

Dear Law or Dear Boss...
What the fucking hell? First of, you call me on Friday, shortly after my doctor's office hours are over and tell me I have the job. I am quite grateful for that. However, you tell me to get a certificate of health (Gesundheitszeugniss) before the contract can be signed. Alright, after work today, I go to my doctor's office... waste an hour there before being taken in, because goddammit, that happens every time I go there, it takes a minimum of 1 hour to be taken in, even if it's for something extremely small like this certificate.
Doctor tells me that since A) I am over the age of 18 and B) my job does not include dealing with food items in any way, she cannot give me such a certificate. At least not just write me one, because by god, she can't just look at me and say "You look healthy" and sign the thing. If my boss wants me to get a certain test to prove my health, he has to tell me which one it is.
Also, Dear School.
Fuck you! I call, your form for application does not in any form give me any indication that I can tell you that I want my training to be shortened from 3 years to 2 years. In no way does your form even let me tell you that I already completed my obligatory school time, which would result in my not taking classes like German, Ethics (due to not being catholic or protestant), etc, etc.
See, all you would have to teach me is the stuff needed for being a legal secretary. So get your ass on that, I am not gonna go sit in a German class.
I may sound very calm, but believe me, I am pissed...

Venting, huh? So let me vent it: lately ive been attracted to a guy in a way that I never been for men. actually I don't remember being attracted towards men. Hes a openly gay "girlish" guy and I know it sounds weird but he suddenly started this flirting thing with me and I liked it. Im not "afraid" at all of being gay but thats just a puzzling situation since ive been involved three times with women and never felt anything like this towards men.
As far as physical attractiveness is concerned, I consider myself bisexual (although I'd never been in a relationship with another girl). Actually, I don't really classify myself as anything - when it comes to sex, there are parts of me that are very shy/conservative. I don't live on other people's terms; I don't try to be, like, the bisexual chick. Most people around me are unaware of this; my family, ex-bf, most friends... And I don't really care.
If you want to, you should have sexual experience with other men. You'll have a broader knowledge about your sexuality and tastes. Nobody needs to know about it and you can throw society's judgment away.

Nah. You sound pissed to me.
I hate when that sort of thing happens! Really, it's like playing Monkey in the Middle as the monkey with two guys twice my height! Those guys wouldn't be terribly hard to find, either *cough*
As for school, is there another school you can try to go to that would let you skip the classes you don't need? Because I know there are some schools that just won't let you skip them even if you've taken them already. Though, admittedly, those apply to people working on undergraduate degrees...
So I finally grew a brain and remembered to give myself a signature... Whoopee.

Did you know that burn-out rates among students have steadily increased over the years? Because of the new technology and advances in academic areas students have a lot more material to process. More material --> bigger and more complex workloads --> more strain.
Being ambitious and putting your studies as your no.1 priority is admirable, but YOU come first. take care of your mental and physical health unless you want to burn-out and lose the ability to focus on your studies. Take care of yourself and try to talk out your troubles.

At least not just write me one, because by god, she can't just look at me and say "You look healthy" and sign the thing. If my boss wants me to get a certain test to prove my health, he has to tell me which one it is.
Also, Dear School.
Fuck you! I call, your form for application does not in any form give me any indication that I can tell you that I want my training to be shortened from 3 years to 2 years. In no way does your form even let me tell you that I already completed my obligatory school time, which would result in my not taking classes like German, Ethics (due to not being catholic or protestant), etc, etc.
See, all you would have to teach me is the stuff needed for being a legal secretary. So get your ass on that, I am not gonna go sit in a German class.
I may sound very calm, but believe me, I am pissed...

What the fucking hell? First of, you call me on Friday, shortly after my doctor's office hours are over and tell me I have the job. I am quite grateful for that. However, you tell me to get a certificate of health (Gesundheitszeugniss) before the contract can be signed.

How ironic that insurance companies and the government can see your medical records, but you yourself aren't even allowed to get a: 'I'm healthy' slip from your doctor.
For the school matter: 3 years of income instead of 2 for your school. Ofcourse they make it hard for you to shorten your studies as that means less income for them. It's dirty and money-grubbin, but thats the way schools operate and frankly it makes me sick.
Face your emptiness don't be afraid. The danger is often smaller than your fear.

As for school, is there another school you can try to go to that would let you skip the classes you don't need? Because I know there are some schools that just won't let you skip them even if you've taken them already. Though, admittedly, those apply to people working on undergraduate degrees...
I can't. It's a school that specializes in educating people in jobs like Law and similar, similar to a college that has a heavy focus on a certain subject. Things got better now. I called and made sure to have them list me as being educated for 2 years instead of 3 and I am going to be able to not take those classes anymore. I just need to fill out the form and bring it in on Friday, when I get shown which classroom I'm in and all.

Actually, shorter education is better for me.
For one, I instantly start with the monthly-income of a 2nd Year student instead of a 1st Year one. I get 600€ per month as a 2nd Year, with taxes reducted I guess around 500€ maybe? For another, I am 23 years old... shorter education means I can get into a full-time, full-job thing and earn a lot more than 600€ or 700€ a month. I think my mother makes around 3000€ a month...? About... I dunno...
Oh and just a short vent.
I can't respond to my colleague talking to me if she mumbles at times and speaks in a low voice. However, I have the same problem and I tend to talk to myself while doing some things, so I guess we both do that at times...

Ah, I see! Awesome, then (both that you're in a specialized school and that the problem was resolved)!
I'm going to have a similar problem when I transfer, but at least I'll only have to retake a handful of classes. Besides, it'll actually be a boon for me: I hear the school I'm planning to go to has an insane workload, so learning the material beforehand will give me time to do homework or catch up on sleep (the latter I don't intend to do, but if it happens of its own accord...) during a lecture without missing too much.
So I finally grew a brain and remembered to give myself a signature... Whoopee.

You know...next time you are walking like that, look at other people, imagine THEIR stories, imagine all their own agendas and plans and intricacies and dreams. It helps me out when I get angry at people in that situation.

I'm with you on this one. Best of all is when there's a group of people, on a pavement wide enough for people to walk past them quite comfortably if they arrange themselves sensibly, but then decide to take up the whole width of the pavement while going at a snail's pace. Unnecessarily slow walkers are the bane of pedestrians everywhere.
And Pierre, the problem with imagining their stories when just having that contact with them is I'm more prone to assume they're complete arseholes with less redeeming qualities than they probably do have. I'm going to assume malice when ignorance of walking etiquette is a viable explanation. So if I just don't make presumptions about their day, I can go on being annoyed at the general stupidity of crowds of people.

Sure you can, but then it doesn't really sound like a very good goal to aspire to.

I find it easier just to say "excuse me" and/or walk around folks when possible.

Honestly, these are the kinds of people that make me embarrassed to live on this planet. I absolutely cannot stand these fake parasitic assholes that only talk and complain about such trivial things.

And don't get me started about people conversing in small supermarket aisles. Or people who drive way under the speed limit when you can't pass them.

This is a pretty minor quibble, but during the end of my school day this afternoon; I accidentally bumped into this bitchy girl in an EXTREMELY OVERCROWDED stairwell. She totally flipped her shit, yelling at me while saying that her bag cost $300. To quote Link, "Well excuuuuuuuuse me, Princess."

Was she talking on her matching $300 iPhone at the time?
I never understood the need to buy overpriced things that probably cost a tiny fraction to make. Then again, I'm the cheap fuck who gets her $10-$15 purse at the TJ Maxx. Lasts about as long as it's in style, and if it ever does suffer extreme damage from a random collision (note: this never actually happens), I won't feel guilty about getting a new one.

It's not people carrying expensive things that bothers me. Hell, me carrying my iPod Touch and LG Optimus L9 phone to school is already over $650 but I'm extremely careful with my things.
Like I said before, it's the attitudes of these kinds of people that I'm constantly surrounded by. In my Study Hall, there are these annoying girls that talk about the dumbest of things like how EVERYONE has to go to Prom like it's some kind of sacred requirement. Imagine the stupidest characters from any bad teen drama, put them in real life, and you have 99% of the girls in my high school. Honestly, I have no idea why I even tried to get a girlfriend. That's another reason why I hate my school and the community that I live in. Everyone's so snobbish and arrogant, it's disgusting. I have few friends, mostly whom I never see; so for all intents and purposes I'm basically alone.
That is, except for a special someone that I email and Skype, whom I met through Court Records. She's basically the only person that really cares about me.
