It makes me so mad They won't take me anywhere, if I want to go somewhere like a friend's house their parents have to pick me up and drop me off We can't flush every time we use the bathroom, we flush if we poop but leave it if we pee, to save on water For the past 2 months my house has been unbearably hot because they refused to turn on the air conditioner This past week, when they finally put an air conditioner in my room, they told me that I had to keep my door open at all times to keep the air circulating, completely eliminating all privacy I once had I can only drink the crap drinks we have here (kool-aid,kool-aid knockoffs, tap water, more kool-aid), because the only one allowed to drink the healthy stuff (apple juice, lemonade, orange juice) is my baby sister and my parents This is horrible, I get out as much as I can just to get away from here, but I feel like crap for doing so because people have to come out to the middle of nowhere (my parents moved us to the country about 2 years ago, all my friends are in the city), and there's no way I can do anything for them EDIT: I'm sorry... I just realized that it looks like I'm looking for pity, but honestly I just wanted to vent

The toilet thing is disgusting, but honestly what can I do about it? I hate bringing friends here, because I get yelled at if I don't tell them that rule @above I can't get a job, because I don't have money to get my license, I don't have a bike, and there's nothing within walking distance of my house

"If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. It'll save a lot of water." ~Save water booklet But what about the smell?>.<

Rebel and flush after peeing.

Flush the toilet and drop a small bit of sprite(For bubbles) and yellow food coloring. Then they will never know. Or pee in the backyard. Tell them it saves water. Also, about the A/C; If you have an electric fan, hide it in your room. Then have your parents take out the A/C. Or, keep it in there, but when you aren't doing anything that requires your door closed, turn the air conditioning on so you get fresh, fresh air.

Put plastic wrap over the toilet after you pee so that whoever tries to go to the bathroom will have a splatter surprise or blockage. Then, when they try to unwrap the plastic wrap, they'll get a horrible sniff of the fermented piss. Not trying to be mean or anything, but get a job and buy your own stuff. It's the easiest way.
