For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.
While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.
Well said. You have earned a reward: the One Ring.

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm not going to try to be a dick, but I know the more I write, the more condescending my tone will seem. Secondly, you're not as gifted as you think. In eighth grade, it takes very little effort to do the work you're given. You may think that your intelligence is unrivaled, you are superior to everyone you know, and that you are infinitely more capable of most tasks, but the fact of the matter is, judging by your apparent inability to understand why your parents act as they do and your grammatically butchered "essay," you're simply, at best, a bit above average.
If you can't understand why your impossibly complicated eighth grade year isn't rivaling your parents' careers, then you obviously won't grasp what I'm trying to say, so just stop thinking about this entirely incorrectly and listen to someone who is right. A bit off topic, but read that last sentence. See how I came off as an arrogant prick? Yeah, that's how you sound, and it's slightly disgusting and seriously off-putting. Now, back to the important part: your parents. Your parents are probably stressed out; the older you get, the closer you'll be to going to college or leaving the house. That's not something most parents take lightly, it's a severe change in lifestyle. They're trying to prepare you for the real world. If you can't handle cleaning your goddamn room, a task that even a three year-old paraplegic with Down Syndrome could handle, then they feel as though they haven't done their jobs. They haven't prepared you for what they deem to be a more difficult life ahead.
If you're seriously this angry about something that's so amazingly easy to comprehend, then you definitely need to rethink this entire situation. Your parents haven't forgotten what it's like to be a teenager, they know full well what it's like. They know how easy it is. When compared with something like, say, a full-time job, being a teenager is easier than that Hawaiian girl on the corner of that boulevard four blocks away. The person who doesn't understand is you: you assume that your life is so difficult. Now, let's assume for a moment that you are, indeed, extraordinarily "gifted." If you were, then your life would be even easier than the average person's! And never have I met someone who considers their life to be so arduous. Their journey through eighth grade is beyond even what Odysseus had to suffer through. "You thought Charybdis was bad? Take a look at this two page essay I have to write!"
Honestly, you just need to learn how to put things into perspective, you need to be less of an arrogant ass, and you need to stop being such an annoying, whiny child.
