Find help. Call a help-line or go to your school counsellor. Find someone that can give you better perspective about life and relationships, and maybe that can talk to your parents about teenagers and parenting.

bqagirl2692 agony auntThis is a problem where you must seek help for and very fast before matters get worse. Your parents arent giving you the respect that you deserve and noone deserves to be treated like that. Talk to your school counselor about this issue. Thats is what they are there for, to be a close friend when you dont have one. Dont hold back. Good luck!

Chris,

I understand what you are going through!!!

Going through teenage is tough. Parents don't always understand what is going on. They may have lived a tough teenage years themselves and they are treating you with the knowledge that they have.

Ask them if you can how it was for them to be your age.

What are they reproaching you? How do you reply? Do you get angry and frustrated?

Do you go to school/college. Have you tried to discuss your problems with a teacher or an adult within your educational system? Over here we have mentors to help.

I hope things get better for you. If you really can not communicate with your parents try to seek help from another adult to become the mediator.

Chris!

All parents are like that! Just keep your thought on the right track.

One day when you are relaxed and haven't had any kind of problems stop somewhere quiet and think about it.

Think if you can make things a bit better without changing who you really are.

I know they don't say it to hurt you but they all want us to be better than them and better than other people.

Relax one day you will laugh about it!
