Frustrated!

[LADodger2112]

I am so frustrated with my parents lately it feels like I'm going to EXPLODE! I always feel like they are always calling me from doing my stuff to do their little "favors" for them because they are too lazy. They say that they feel like they are picking up after me all the time but to me, it feels the exact opposite! I'm so frustrated! It feels like they hate me too... I always yell at them because I get angry and I get into trouble and all they do is yell back and it just makes me madder! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

You're a teen ager...feeling the way you do right now is part of the growing up process. BUT you shouldn't be yelling at your parents.... I know that parents shouldn't be yelling at their kids either....but sometimes a parent DOES get frustrated with the teenager, and raising the voice seems the only method of getting their point across.
Being a teen is hard enough.... but don't make it worse for yourself by yelling at your parents. I have been...still am a parent... and speak from experience here.
You get into trouble because you yell back at them? or you get into trouble because of other things?

I totally understand your frustration LADodger. I feel the exact same way about my parents mainly my mom. but just sit there and listen to what they have to say and do what they tell you to with out talkin back which is really hard for me because i talk ALOT and just say yes ma'am/sir do it and get it over with so they will get off your back a lil. i suggest starting a journal that's what i do and when i get mad i write what i feel and i feel better and think of it some day u will have your own kids to boss around LOL

Tell your parents you want to know what it is like to be in their shoes. Then go Freaky Friday on them. Then use their credit cards to put your younger siblings in boarding school... he he he. Yes this plan can work.

Get the book called "The Power of Positive Parenting." Read it and copy the relevant pages and give it to them. They'll be very very shocked that you've taken the initiative to get the book and they'll most likely read what you've given them. That's an amazing book and any parent who will follow its guidance will do much better with their kids - including you're parents. Make sure you're also doing your part as a kid.

I think you need a lesson....

Go out on the street and live on your own with no parents to pay for your housing, food, transportation, entertainment.....etc......a thousand fold...

After about 3 days of living on your own...maybe you will get the lesson you need.....one of gratitude....submission, ....and payback time....for the millions of selfless hours your parents gave to you to get you where you are today..
