How do I get my parents to listen to me?
ok my mom and dad have been divorced since I was 6 and at the time I didnt have trouble with it caus ei didnt understand what was gonning on all I knew was my dad was leaving and I would only see him on weekends. so I did then when I was 7 my mm moved us down to south carlorina for 9 monthes and my dad moved down to arkansaw to be with his new girlfriend and to be a little closer to us kids but we moved back to alaska he didnt so for five years I didnt see him I stared to hate him but really trying to be a tom boy to imprsse him when he got back (I being his only girl) but he just got back last summer and now he and my mom are always fighting!!! like they cant even be in da same buliding! and I fulley understand everythig and im reeally having a tough time with it im very mad and deppersed I found out some stuff that happend way back when I was little im very hurt and my mom and dad are fighting over us kids and asking us who do we want to live with? well I’ve never been close to my dad but I dont want to live with my mom eerhter I dont know what to do because no matter what I say or do they just say im just a kid I dont know wuts happening bu tim very mature for my age and I know wuts going on and I want to stop all dis fighting but they wont listen to me!! what should I do???
Well you could start by showing them how passionate about the subject you are. Make mature choices and let your parents know that you are growing up. Try to show them that you can act poised and mature, and let them know that they need to take you seriously. They probably don’t listen to you because they a) don’t want to drag you into their problems b) don’t think you are mature enough to cope with their problems c) don’t think it is affecting you as much as it is. By showing, not telling, them how serious you are, they will soon realize that they are dealing with a smart and confident young adult! Show them the real you and I know they will listen to you! Best of luck!
I kno the feeling my parents are divorced and unoffically for a long time but offically for a couple years if you need to talk anytime send me a message.
tell them how you fell about the thing you want them to do or buy for exaple: you want a dog realy bad you ask your parents and they say no try to tell them how much you want it and how you fell maybe you had a bulldog you realy loved but past away and you want one if thats it your parents will under stand what going through it might take time it will work if you like a dog from a movie they might not agree
