Home More advice Parents & Family
Soo im 15 years old and I know I have a good family and everything and I live in new york. they buy me things I want but they just dont get it. this may sound girlish and stuff but what I need is love. I wish I could go back to the age when my parents used to hug me and make me feel happy and safe. Whenever I get into fights with them, they keep sayin how fortunate I am to have food on the table and clothes to wear. they just dont get it, I care bout the clothes and food but what I need is a caring family. I've always stayed home and never gone out much until I went into highschool. ever since high school I stayed out until like 4 maybe 5 o clock. I know they arent use to it and I tried to explain to them that I just want to chill with my friends. I started failing class soon later on because I was skippin class. I know what I did was wrong but its just tat they started kicking me outta the house and yelling at me when I only come home at 5 after school. I just couldn't stand it. thats when I started to skip class and go outside and relax, fool around and chill with my friends. I started failing because I skipped class. I moved to new jersey. I really hate it here. the people are so snotty and just its boring here. theres no place to go. all I do is hang around at home and go on the computer. thats pretty much it. I tried to convince my parents to move back to new york after half a year. my grades were doing a lot better but they still wouldn't move back. I really miss my friends. my parents just don't get it. new york is my life. and theres this girl I was bout to go out with. I know it sounds girlish but I cry a lot at night just thinkin bout her. my parents told me to keep doing good and they'll move back next year. I dont want to move back next year. by then I'll almost be a senior and my high school life will be gone. I will only have 1 year to spend with tat special girl. I really don't know what to do. and I just can't tell my parents how I feel. they just don't understand what new york means too me..please someone help me..I really cant stand it here anymore =[

omg like I literally feel like im going through the exact same situation, except of course I am a girl and I moved to florida. In the country :[ not to sound cocky or rude, but I feel like I truly went from being popular, friends, surrounded by loved ones, a steady church that I loved, living in the city everything close just truly loving life. But now being surrounded by rednecks, dirty immature ignorant people, not a city, everything is FAR like the nearest store is 15 minuts away! and the education seems lower. ahhh I cry many nights wondering what things would be like if I stayed. I try to stay strong but get tear eyed or feel week every time I get on the phone with a friend, especially 3way and their laughing about recent memories that I could be apart of :[. Im a sophmore now, my advice though is stay strong, you could have moved earlier and their is life after this. I hope the best for you, things cant stay bad forever(:
dont skip school to hang with your friends. yes I know its fun but wouldnt you ather get paid like 2000$ a month or hang with you friends nad get like 100$ a month. my point is try hard now and ull have fun in the end it worked for me! trust me dude its the besst way. I man NO 1 likes school. but they all do it becuse its important to them and I know you can wait just 1 more year infact by the time im whiting you will prubobly be in ny right now!!! I belevie in you!!! minnesota means everything to me! but ull move back soon!!! FUN DAYS WILL COME!!!
New York was my life too, we moved away though and looking back at it I am glad that we did. It is because they love you that they moved away. That is what good parents do and I commend them for it. Yes hard to hear I know! But know this, no loving parent would ever gamble on their childs future. Look at it this way 10 years down the road you will be at least 20 years ahead of everyone eles.
well atleast your still in the united states itself, cleveland was my life and I had to move to an arab country and also worse in a private school, just be glad your still close man, I cant take it anymore here, be glad your still in your own country
I think your parents had only your interests in mind by moving to New Jersey. I think that you need to sit down and have a serious talk with them. Tell them everything you told the audience in your post. Explain exactly how you feel.
see dude you are aleady back in ny I new you could do it!!! dude im happy to say this, GO AND HAVE FUN!!!LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!
I already told them how I felt. they just ignored it..
You could show them this question on this website
