why do we have to grow up just to realize how much they love us??? can’t we realize that at this age??? even though we know how much they love us, but we still don’t like what they do, the advice they give us, how they treat us, and the things they want us to do (orders)… but when we grow up we will go like… oh, they were right, why didn’t I do what they told me to do?? etc,etc,etc… most teenagers hate life/ hate parents/ hate hate hate… I always try to explain how I’m feeling to my father, and he never uderstands!!! I tried it with mum, same thing happened, the only people who know exactly how I feel are my friends!!! but I can’t trust my friends in school!! man I can’t wait til’ I grow up!!! how do I get my parents to understand me??? understand that I’m sick of everything around me, and want to change!!! when I told them this, they got soo angry and I couldn’t explain it!!! I tried 3 times!!! and I explained it once, and they did NOT understand! wern’t they teenagers?? shouldn’t they know how we feel?? how did they forget all these feelings??? I feel so weird!! my GRANDMOTHER understood me!! why didn’t my PARENTS understand me?!?!! when I try to change, everything around me stops me!!! my mother’s away, my father’s too quiet, he’s never really interested in chaning everything, mygrandmother’s not living with us anymore, I see her every weekend but I’m nvr alone with her, my older sister lives somewhere else, we see each other on holidays only, and my other siblings are feeling the same!! my siblings understand me!! but we want our PARENTS to understand!!!

Answer #1

tell your parents that you want to talk to them and then sit then down and tell how you feel or whayever you want to say!!

Answer #2

I understand what your going threw but there’s no way to change them sweetie trust me I try with just my mother and I can’t there’s no way to change them if they don’t want to be and parents don’t listen to kid’s cause they hate knowing that they are wrong

Answer #3

Well…I did it like this…When my father was away, I was alone with my mom in her bedroom. So, I started talking about my results to her (which was really bad) And she got so mad and didnt want to talk to me… I was getting kinda pissed off and started talking to her about what I want for my life and evrything I didnt like about my family and she started listening. I cried like hell… Anyway just let it out find the right timing… I know exactly how you feel… and I got through and now its all allright… I hope you get through it… =)

Answer #4

well what exactly do you tell your parents that they dont understand?

Answer #5

I honestly use to be the same way with my parents. I always use to feel like they totally hate me, I’ve tried anything and everything to get them to realize my situations and I tried to express my feelings to them… it just doesn’t work,they do not realize that I am trying to avoid the miscommunication with them, but they dont care. I am the eldest child im 20, I have a younger sister who just turned 17 last month, and a little brother who’s 7… and my parents dont talk to me, they never want to be around me… I feel as if all their attention is drawn to my 17 yr old sister. she’s a disaster! she goes out clubbing (dont ask me how she gets in), she parties a lot and comes home late… she’s developing and growing up too fast! and my parents say nothing at all to her! if I were to do the things she has done my life would be down the drain. they treat her as if she’s older than me and that is what I HATE HATE HATE. and honestly all the attempts I have made to talk to them has only made me feel worse and has also made the situation worse, if you are thinking to sit them down and talk to them.. only do it if you havent tried to before, because they will get annoyed of you and they wont want to listen to you anymore. it’s better to keep quiet and be a little more independant and show them you can grow up without their advice (that attracts a lot of their attention!) AND they will realize that you arent a bad person, that is when they are going to want to sit down and talk with you. there’s always a solution to every problem and you havent yet thought of the solution, but in time it will come. just hang in there and count your blessings! =) I hope this is good enough advice LOL =)

Answer #6

WOWWW omg crazy.I ust to think exactly like this!! FIRST let me tell you with all the things going on in the world with kids these days being overly obsessed with money and doing any means necessary to get it,kids drinking and smoking,and just how this world is filled with people that are following the wrong crowd because they see it as nothing wrong but their parents see it differently..not saying you do bad stuff but I been there done that , im 13 I still have problems talking it out fully with my dad but you just have to remember tennage years is a difficult time peer pressure and all of this stuff and you might not realize it now that certain people may have an affect on you..your friends understand because theyre going through the same thing ALL TEENAGERS GO THROUGH IT ,they just look at it in another perspective ,as though your parents dont understand you?just try change is very hard if your praying and praying but your still having doubts because you feel like no one understands you ..just remeber god forgives you he’ll listen to you and he’ll always be there for you and so will your parents =] TRUST ME I FELT THE SAME WAY.JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE BUT DONT FORGET WHO you ARE goodluck =]]]

Answer #7

when you get older it finally hits you. GOD AMIGHTY!!! my parents DID know more than I did!!! Now its MY mothers curse I endure. “I hope when YOU have a child they act WORSE than you are acting right NOW!!”…yeah…well thanks bunches mom!! your curse worked!!!

Big HUGS lilone!!! sit them down and TRY to take another try at this!!!

Answer #8

Sometimes parents are to busy to REALLY listen, they can be overly stressed to even want to worry about other peoples problems. Try to catch them seperatley when you think they are calm, and ready to listen. Speak to them clearly, and do not get over excited while you are talking, (this may turn their ears off). You should try to see how much stress they have at this point, they may NOT mean to ignore you or get upset, but other parent responsibilities may be weighing heavily on their minds. Parents do NOT mean to ignore you, and they do love you!! Somethings you have got right, you will grow up and you will understand, that is just part of life. Everyone goes through it, it is just a hard thing to quite understand or even explain. I hope this helps you at least a little. Good Luck
