Teens and Preteens -- please answer this?

Question

Do you think your parents either don't care, don't love you or anything like that because they have to work hard to "make it" anymore? I NEED to know this. I hope you all realize that it's necessary, in our society for both parents to work. Do you feel alone or what? What's going on??? Please....I want to help my grandkids -- reason for asking. I DO NOT WANT ONE MORE LITTLE GIRL OUT THERE "STARVED FOR LOVE" -- you all need to learn how to love yourselves because you ARE important -- and will be even MORE important as you get older.

Answer 1

I live in Long Beach California, I have one sibling, and only my dad works. We have both gone to private school out entire lives, and have never felt "short of money." I think that the main problem is that most people are greedy, and think that they need more money so that they can buy all the junk they want.

(of course my dad does make $250,000 a year.)

Answer 2

Having both parents working usually isn't the casue to feel unloved, it's parents actions when they're home that make a child feel loved or unloved as well as parents relationships with each other. An abusive household, divorced famlies, argumentative families, or families who NEVER have quality time together are what make a child feel unloved or "starved for love" If the only attention a child gets is negative attention due to poor grades or other things that may not be right then a child wil lfeel worthless. It's important for a child to get both positive and negative things pointed out so they are encouraged when having sucess and get the wrong pointed out so they don't repeat it. If you are worried about your grandchildren, suggest to your children that they make a point to have dinner together and even some family events on some weekends liek a trip to the beach or a park of some sort. A child needs to know that if they have a problem that there is always someone there to help them, if you have concern that their parents aren't meetign that role you can tell them that if they ever need to talk to someone and they don't want to or can't talk to their parents that your always there to listen and that if they need help you wil lhelp them or find them the help they need. I know as I was rowing up due to my difficult family situation it made things hard for me and in tough tiems I depended on extended family or even older people that i knew from church. Now that I'm in college I do need to overcome some bad things that I dealt with as a child but relations with the family have gotten easier in some ways and harder in others.

Answer 3

YES YES YES. LIKE OMG YES. All the time. I do feel alone sometimes, like my parents and I used to hardly talk at all...but now it's getting better...slowly.

One of my friends , though, I'm really worried about her. She's kind of .. [suicidal] .. and her relationship with her parents is REALLY bad. Like, she sneaks around and does stuff behind their back, and when she gets busted...it's like the end of the world.. I'm kind of scared for her, actually...she doesn't even talk to her parents unless they're yelling at her.

Answer 4

Well congratulations for figuring that out. Sometimes I do feel like that,but then again,I can feel their love too. It's seasonal!

Answer 5

Your parents may seem like they dont care but in reality eerything they do is to make your life better. All parents love their children, some just dont know how to show it. Why dont you talk to your parents about how you feel? I'm sure they'll want to hear it,

Answer 6

i dont feel alone, my mom gets irretated sometimes, but i know she loves me, my mom works hard every week, its probley easier now that shes remarried, but after a while my dad bolted (my mom had my bro when she was 16, me when she was 18, and my sis when she was 19) and like i said after a while he bolted, and theres a long story in there about afterwards, but anyway, my mom stuck, she worked hard b/c our dad wouldnt pay child support or anything, but she stayed and thats only one of the ways in out life that shes showed shes cared, so yeah, my mom loves us, so i guess i dont feel like that, sometimes i feel like she dosnt understand though
