yes, i know how you feel. my mom is way overprotective. she won't even let me go to the mall with my frieds and not her. like, i just got invited to go to a hockey game with one of my best friends and she said no, cause she won't be there even though my friends parents will. and last year, i went to a bowling for soup concert and my parents think that if someone says one swear word that they're completely innapropriate, and i asked if i could go and she asked if they were appropriate and i said yes... even though the yare not (according to my mom.) she still doesn't know...\n   and about staying at your friends house with her dad... just because he is divorced doesn't mean he will rape you, or anything. i would still trust him as long as he doesn't have a criminal record for raping someone or something... then i would be a little scared...

Timing is the thing when trying to get your parents attention especially if it's of the serious nature.  For example when you are eating dinner and your parents are eating a big piece of steak...swallowing it....that would not be a good time to tell them you wrecked the car!....LOL....I  don't mean to joke about it but it shows you what direction not to go......find a time when things are more quiet and they are not distracted with other things...ask them you need to talk to them about something that is very important to you and would they give you time to tell your side of it.....and you want to know their opinion...and you are ready for any response they will give you.  Hopefully this will keep them from over reacting and listen to you calmly.  When all of you can sit and act civil that is what you are aiming for...to be heard and both willing to hear the other without  panicking...I hope this helps...Best of luck...

Your parents have their reasons, I'm sure. But have you asked them to explain to you? They may not be able to, or they may not want to, but consider the possiblity that they did what was best, not only for them, but for you too. \n\nMy husband and I are seperated for reasons I hope I never have to tell my children.

You are suffering from rejection in my opinion. What did this doctor say was going on? It sounds like you wanted your parents attention and didn't receive it based on what you have written.\n\n Perhaps you had other siblings that demanded their attention, or they just ignored you. I had the same problem. It wasn't until I was 29 years old and got counseling that I understood what I was doing. I went through an exercise in forgiveness and was able to move on in that area of my life. It has never been a problem since.

Dude, I know what you mean. This one time, I snuck my 3 brothers and sister out of the house during the night and had someone call my parents and tell them the rapture had happened and they had been left behind. It was hilarious. We turned off the circuit breaker to make them think the power was out. My parents were pissed, but it was totally worth it.

Oh My God! \n\nWhen I was young I ALWAYS swore I would never say or do the same things that my mum done and said to me. This morning I heard myself shouting the same words to my kids that I heard my mother shout to me 20 years ago and I got really scared. LoL

The most useful thing I was ever told was from my father... it was "Son, Worry about the things you CAN change... don't worry about  the things you CAN'T"... \nI can't think of any bad advise... both mom and dad usually gave me the best advise there was to give... although... I didn't listen most of the time... :D

yes definitely. They always tried to tell me to go to school. I was stubborn and I kept on skipping school.  Even though I officialy have a diploma , I feel like I didnt really earn it.  I missed out on a large portion of my education because I skipped school. I'll always regret not taking my parents words seriously .

You parents need some Parenting Help!\nI'm sorry it happened to you and it doesn't help at all if the one who should be neutral and don't take sides, your parents, do the same to you. \nI couldn't think of any solution other than to write your parents how you feel when your sister do things like that to you and so are your parents reaction when it happened. As long as you open up your feelings to them, keep on hoping that they would not do the same thing in the future. If they still do, try to go to your school (if you're still in school) counselor or priest/pastor or any relatives closest to you and ask for help to intervene with the way your parents behave.

It's all on me, baby! Sometimes I blame my parents for the way the raised me, but for the most part I take responsibility for my problems. I usually chalk it up to inexperience. Life doesn't come with an instruction manual.
