This is the second picture for my AP 2D portfolio. The theme is "confinement" which will be portrayed in various ways through fashion photography.
I've decided to change the concept for this photo because my friend Heather brought forth a better idea. She said this picture gave her the impression that even though we are almost adults, our parents still treat us like children. Our freedom is limited compared to that of most teens.
I know how this feels, when I was younger my sister and I were coddled our mom was buying us things when we went to the mall or store I have this horrible memory of my mom and I were at the mall and she offered to buy me something and I refused we are walking out and she offers me a cookie I naturally accepted then for some odd reason she whips out her phone and calls one of her friends and starts complaining about how I wouldn't let her buy me anything... I felt horrible even though I probably shouldn't have. We did do chores but it was like she used to decide things for us, now they are divorced I am 18 and working at my uncles living at my grandparents house until my mom can find a apartment to live in then I am living with my dad and sister and the two mutts. Sometimes I feel like the divorce was my fault and not mine and my mom's fault, we never got along anyway.. We aren't talking to each other still.. I know I should but idk I guess I never wanted to or got the motivation for it? I'm doing fine though I have my moments where I break down but otherwise I'm fine. I hope anyone who reads this can learn from this please please please don't believe that a divorce between your parents is your fault it will get better trust me ^^
It's sad how much this generation is being babied. I read an article once about this 18 year old intern, she didn't even know how to unfold and form a box! Her mother always did it for her!
Yeah. My mother was raised in the army. She had a younger sister, so when their father went off to serve, she had to help her mother take care of the house and her sister. She wants me to be like her when she was little. She wants me to learn how to do everything on my own. To be rasponsible for my own self.
I love the pic!!!
