How do I get my mom to take me seriously?

Question

Its so hard because ..
I'm so stressed out and can't pay attention
and I kindave am suicidal except I'm not that selfish enough to actually do it ..My familys been through more than enough. But when I try talking to her she always ends up yelling back what I said like it makes no sense or something. I love my mother to death but shes never been good at communicating or understanding how I feel. I really want to move to a different school. Of course I'd have to live with different family..I know she'd say no..but I would've killed by now, I havn't but the fact that I thought about...shouldnt that be enough. I don't cut myself or anything. I just keep my emotions bottled up so I feel like I'm going crazy. I've been unpopular since the 6th grade always because I was accused of something I honestly did not do.. I need to go to a different school because my mistaken reputation keeps on getting worse and I don't know how to handle it.

Answer 1

bottling emotions up bring out so many bad feelings - and could make you feel suicidal - but try never to put your mind in that direction, that never solves anything. think of yourself as the most IMPORTANT person in your world and you are going to do everything YOU can to help yourself. so, when no one is listening to your troubles and you can't find a release - go for a walk or a run. it will help. if you have a teacher, guidance counselor or a priest that you can talk to - go to them - they are there to help. changing schools would be a good idea, if it's feasible to do. this you can check out when you talk with your school counselor. try not to let what others tell you stand in your way. stand up for yourself and don't let their negatives pull you down. sometimes, people like to make other people feel low because it makes them feel they have the power. don't let them have it - just keep saying to yourself - I KNOW i didn't do anything wrong - and whether they believe me or not - I KNOW i'm a good person. start looking at yourself as a GOOD PERSON and when you YOURSELF believe it - life will get easier. be kind to yourself and don't worry what others are thinking - because you know the truth. i wish you all the best.

Talk to a counselor, obviously your mom is having a hard time to see where you are coming from. Sometimes parents think they can yell stuff out of their children, when all they have to really do is listen and spend time with them. Talk to someone else and if you cant change schools, i would say get a hobby, or join a club. Something that can take you away from your problems at home and make you feel like a part of something. Good luck and never give up!!

Answer 3

I can really relate to that thing of being accused of doing bad things and being accused when you didn't really do much wrong.

People just don't understand people who are true to themselves and authentic instead of just being copiers.

We have to put up with our moms.

I'm 42 and she still treats me like a kid. Put on a sweater if she's cold, etc. When you are 18 you can do whatever you want pretty much.

In the mean time remember that she does love and cares for you but is limited by her own experiences.

Answer 4

your not being selfish.
your mother is.
it is harder for a kid too feel like that then a parent.
when parentes feel hurt then kides do also.
its that simple..why cant parentes uderstand that?
