My oldest daughter is 13 and she used to say often that I didnt understand.
I finally sat with her and spoke to her in a very mature manner about things that I thought were above her understanding.
I was surprised to find out just how much she was willing to listen and hear me. I knew she was very smart but wow she was wise too. Sometimes parents fall short and sometimes we are so bogged down with life we forget that a person needs us to stop and breath and listen. I ask you to be patient with your parents because they are just human. I ask you to sit and write down your feelings...............like such

Write down your feelings holding nothing back good bad ugly , let it alllllllllll out let it flow.........write and write until you cant write any more............KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF

Then think on it , read what you have written, look inside yourself and see if you think its all fair , make adjustments , and write another letter , be truthful about how you feel but just try to say it in a way t hat is not acussing or pointing finger or biting.

Then read that letter several times and practice talking to your parents . Keep practicing in the mirror until you get it and feel confident and strong in what you want to say.

Then go to your parents and ask for a family meeting.
This may come as a surprise to them but please do it in this manner. Tell them you have some things on your mind that you really need to talk to them about and you just need a few minutes of their time to express your feelings to them. Ask them to let you finish before they say anything, ask them respectfully.
You just might be surprised how they are capible of doing this.

After you have spoken allow them to express their feelings and dont judge their feelings, then discuss it calmly. And keep going from there, hopefully the meeting will go well, and thank them for their time and ask them if you can have meetings at other times when you need them.

If I'm angry, I normally do something odd: I sit down and write a letter to those I'm angry at and pour all my anger into it, feeling free to call them words that would make a sailors' ears burn, and then at the end of it all, I just fold the paper and keep it in my pocket and go out for a walk for a while. When I come back, I read what was in my pocket and realise that it was so silly to have been mad in the first place....This way my anger is gone and I hold no grudge against them for it....

That is the thing I hear the most with teenagers, my parents don't understand me.. Well have you show them the real you? DO THEY KNOW YOU? If you want to be understood, they need to know who are you.. Sit with them and TALK... Control your emotions, don't let them get the best of you.. You need to understand them first.. where are they coming from? what are their point of views? Then you know how to explain yourself so they can hear.. Yelling only says that your Heart is to far away from each others you need to yell so it can hear across the distance. Teenage years are as hard for the parents as for the Kids.. Good Luck

Write them a letter. Sometimes people understand things written on paper better. Your thoughts are clearer when you wite them out.

I usually go for a walk to calm myself down and I use my cell phone and start phoning all my closest friends and I ask them for advice...

You just need sometime time to calm down. i have been in your shoes before many times, and all i needed to do was calm down, talk a walk, find something to relax me. then try talking to my parents again. try that, i hope it works out for you. :)

Sometimes I cry alone, then maybe I write the things in my mind or to the person becuase sometimes people tend to react at writing. Remember that when you write, nobody can react to you.
