Same here, and this is why it's not your fault, you were raised in captivity under stifling and constricting conditions. While others had supportive, permissive parents who would buy them things and let them go out and have fun, yours made you do your homework, wouldn't let you go anywhere without parental supervision, and what the heck is this allowance things the other kids get, their parents give them money every week, I asked and they said no. As an 18 year old you can just get a job and make your own money, and/or loanmaxx to go to college including getting your own place, get messy, make mistakes, do drugs, fuck sluts, live, laugh, love...
