My parents give me everything and anything I could ever want. I have 3 portable CD players,2 ipods,a TV and DVD player, a laptop and a desktop computer, my own bedroom (where all of that stuff is stored) which is bigger than my parents,my own bathroom,and a walk-in closet, and alot more. They take me and my friends everywhere. But yet I turn around and I'm a ***** to them. I have tried to change but I cant. What should I do?

You should learn self control, and be thankful. Not all kids get everything they want. I didn't own a DVD player until I moved out of my parents house and bought my own.

Many times young adults who are given everything that they want rebell against their parents. There are many reasons for this which include, being spoiled, feeling unloved, and not having God in their life.
When I say God, I mean religion. When we recognize that what we have is a blessing and not something we deserve or have worked for, then we begin to appreciate it more.
Also,sometimes parents think that giving their children everything they ask for is a sign of love. But many teens secretly want structure, restrictions and hugs more than some expensive shoes or ipod. It may sound strange, but often times disciplin shows more love than spoiling kids.
You need to talk to your parents about your feelings, your day to day struggles, and your insecurities. Spend some time with them doing things that help you to bond. I think you may be feeling like you need more of a personal connection with them. Have an honest discussion them, give them a chance to relate to you and you might find that your attitude towards them and yourself will improve.
Good Luck
p.s. Pick up a bible and keep it, read a little sometimes, you will find comfort and reassurance there that you will need for the rest of your life!

To be honest I think that you may not be completely happy! I think that you may rebel because you are in search of whatever it is that you are missing. Do you parents seem to ignore you a lot and make up with gifts? Do they work so hard, and never spend time with you one on one? It seems like you are also wanting to be treated like a normal teen and get punished and disciplined. If you are they only child then relax because you are just their pride and joy!

I suggest that you should breth deeply and try to control yourself whenever you feel that you are about to say or do something to your parents.
I also think that you might be a lot spoilt, I mean, all that stuff no-one I know has anything like that.
I have a friend like that, who gets almost as much as you but she is very nice, yet very spoilt and stuck-up and posh.
Maybe you are a bit like her (or a lot).
(no offense on anything of this).

Tell your parents you are a ungrateful brat and that you need more discipline and more one on one time with them and less of the material things that are just given to you to babysit or to pacify you when you are throwing a tantrum.

Why don't you start thinking of how other people live and appreciate what you have and STOP asking for more. All you need to survive is food, water, clothes (from any where), and love. So be thankful you get twice that and more....

Well you are young and it happens, just watch what you say. You are blessed at least you care about what you say. Your parents love you and take care of you. Try and be nicer or just.. make dinner one night to show them that you love them. It could help!

Tell them you love them. That is a lot and if you mean it it is worth even more. Nobody grows tired of hearing it. Parents are no exception.

here! people cant call me spoiled now!
may i suggest going through everything and finding what you really need. im not trying to sound mean and rude like everyone was to me, but if you know you dont kneed everything.
also tell your parents that you love them, that you appreciat all theyve givin you, but they maybe need to not give you everything you want or need.
