I want to control my anger around my parents, how's THAT???!!

I’m really sick of being treated like a baby… because I am NOT a baby!! I’m smart enough to know what I’m supposed to do everyday, I’m smart enough to know what’s good for me and what’s bad for me, I’m smart enough to know what’s right and what’s wrong… I already talked to my parents about this… but here’s what they ALWAYS say: even if you’re 100 years old, you’ll still be our little girl!!! ugh!!! ugh!!! and UGH!!! everytime we talk about something I have to get angry and scream and yell, and get them angry… then my older brother calms us down!! my parents can’t understand me… me and my brother are always argueing about everything with our parents!!! I’m really sick of this!! I need to find a way to stop me from being angry all the time at my parents or my sister or even being angry all the time at everything that happens around me… I’m living a really crazy life… and if I don’t get along with my family I will never get ther support!!! well I might… but I won’t accept it!! so yea, I need to stop… but I just don’t know how!! getting angry at them makes me feel sooo damn bad/angry/ and sad!! I just run to my room, hug my pillow, and start crying!!! please someone help me… I can’t control my angriness, specially when it comes to my parents!!! cheers…!

I feel the same! But what I do is a dont rise to it.when ever they try and treat me like a baby and we start getting angry I just sit there calmly and dont retaliate.Trust me!It works :)) and makes them feel stupid because there acting more childish than me. Just count to ten in your head.

Good luck !

Well, I go to therapy and stuff.. and my therapist gave me this plan, it works for me.. it might work for you? theres 3 steps;

1: THINK about whats going on. Is it really that big of a deal? And Is it so bad that it’s going to be life changing?

2: ask yourself, “what do I want?” , “what do they want?” , “can this be compromised?”

3: And at the end of the night, when all is said and done, think. was what happened that day worth it? If not, let things cool off for a day or two (depending on how bad the situation is), then talk to them about it calmly, and apologize.

I always get into hugee fights with my parentals, and sometimes it does seem like they DON’T understand.. I’ve been through that beforee. But anyway, Try that plan, I hope that it works for you. :) -Haley_HelloKitty</3

My doughter is still my little girl, and she has three childern. It is the way that parents see their childern. now sit back and ask your self how does an adult behave as opose to a child. When i was in the Navy on the USS Nimitz we had a crash and burn, when I got to my battle station one of my men was sitting back white as a gost, sead nothing, did not move. My men went on the flight deck and put the fire out. The ship went to the home port. I went to my usal hang out and this man showed up. He nd I got in a heated descusion and he waled out, I followed him. As we were talking he looked at me and remarked “17 is too young to watch some one die.” He was on that flight deck learning a new traid, 16 of his buddies died that night befor his eyes, I never relized his age. here are some sugestions. get an alarm clock and set it so you are out of bed before your folks come to get you up. when you get up from the table pick up your plate and stuff and clean them off if you have a dishwasher put them in there. If you see some thing that needs to be done, do it. You see the way we are treated often depends on the way that we impress other people, if we impress them that we are an adult then they will treat us like one. I’ll bet they have told you some thing like this before but it is hard to think about it in the middle of an argument. If you were living a lone and you had a job insted of school then you would have to get your self up, get to work on time, do your job, go home cook your own meals, do your house work with out some one telling you to, if you do it now it well help. but no one could have told me that when I was 15 eather.
