Answer 1

Google menopause & read up on it. Talk to other adults like teachers & counselors etc. Realize humans go thru transitions where hormones might make them do crazy things.

Hopefully it's temporary...please take care of yourself & talk this problem out. When your parent/s are in a good mood, see if you can talk about what is bothering you.

First tell them you love them & give them two compliments. Then gently bring up certain things that scare you. Finally back off if they become agitated as in potentially violent.

Good luck!!
