I hate my parents

---

At times I do just ignore them and just say "whatever" ... but then again other times it really gets to me ...

I used to come in from school and go straight to my room so I didn't have to speak to my parents. At the time it seemed all they ever did was criticise me but looking back I can see that it was only cos they wanted the best for me although it is hard to see that at the time.

That's nice

whats nice?

Hahahaha, now, Insearch, be nice and play fair, eh? And maybe you react the way you do because this is such a sensitive subject... Some are hitting on gold (which hurts you) while others think they are hitting on gold and aren't (which annoys you). But why do you keep defending yourself? Why don't you ever let it go- because you really do want to talk about it. As for how to cope? Why not watch a movie about other teenagers who think their lives suck also, and hate their parents too! Try The Breakfast Club- why, even the Brain has something to complain about (the audacity)!But, as for Rosamum, whose topic Insearch ungraciously annexed his own, I give these golden nuggets of advice (but you could use it too, Insearch):I suggest calming yourself. You seem like a very overwhelmed individual. First of all, concerning shopping, go with your dad first to the hardware store and be patient about it (hard, I know, but remember: no sighs, no watch checking, just be calm), and then ask him if he would like to go to wherever you would like. Or ask him if you and a friend could go; it's more fun to shop with friends anyway. As for church, although it's a pain in the butt to be dragged there, you can simply zone out for the hour (I know you know how to do this; after all, you go to school) and think about all of your problems and what you should do. This will help you get your life more organized, and make your problems seem easier to deal with.As for the teacher? Don't worry about it, he may excuse you for that grade, and if he doesn't, go talk to him about the fact that you never got your assignments. Again, I advise you: be calm. And try to stay in the practice of not cursing or insulting (ie degrading) your parents; this will create some respect for them, and start the mend of your relationship. ps- I think neither of you told the entire truth of your stories, nor have even considered their sides of the story, so maybe you should tranquilly (I was bored of constantly repeating "calmly") discuss the matter with the main problems: your parents.

Well look at yuo Mr. know-it-allIt's good someone knows so much about me... (that was sarcasm for those who didn't recognize it)

I know this is kinda late but i had to say something.I defintly know how you feel. My parents have put me through a lot of shit. My dad doesn't want me and i am my mothers slave - she makes me constantly clean up the house and her mess.My parents have fucked me up real good. Since i was 10 i have wanted to die just to get away from them.I just tell my mum to shut the fuck up.She tries to hit me, but im stronger than her, she seems to forget im 16 - no longer a kid. I wont take her shit. And i just stay away from my dad, he's a fucken mental case alcoholic.

At 16 you are still a kid, no matter what you think or feel.Someone being bigger then me never stopped me from kicking thier ass or atleast taking a hell of a shot at it.

It's hard to say what's going on. His parents may be real psychos. If the father's an alcoholic and the mother tries to hit him, it doesn't sound too good.

You could always try calling child protective services and get relocated to another house if its really that bad

well my mom calls me a slut for having low cut shirts.... but i try not to let it get to me. She can really be a huge bitch, but i learned to ignore it for the most part.
