Is it right for my parents to yell at me for virtually nothing?

Question

My father, in my opinion is out of control. He wants the best for me, that I know, but many times he really scares me. I remember many times when he would just yell at me whenever I play a computer game. Now I am a sophomore in high school, I never play any games during the weekdays and I study hard into the night everyday to make him proud. Sometimes in the weekend though I would play a game online with some friends and sometimes he just gets wacko. He starts yelling at me and and slapping himself, going out of control. It just really scares me and I start to think why do I go through this everytime. I am living the last parts of my childhood and cannot enjoy it. Many times this brings me to tears, like right now as I type this, and his yelling at me has made me a very weak person. I just want to know is this right what he is doing. Is he right to yell at me just because I choose to have a little fun in the weekend? I really want to know.

Answer 1

no he is not right!

Answer 2

No he should not yell at you. But this is the only way he knows how to express himself, I hope you remember this is not the right way to go about this. Once you know how he is, than I know it is not fair for you, but when he is home don"t play the games, do what ever he wants you to do. yes I know it is not fair. Try and sit him down for a talk, or write him a letter, and tell him I am doing my best at school, I do school work every night, on weekend, playing games use to be my relaxation time, but it seems to upset you so much, I do not want to upset you, It hurts me so much when you scream at me, Dad I am trying hard to do the right things, can we work this out?
