Answer 1

Young people often feel misunderstood. The adults in their life have been through it and moved on, and are now busy with adult matters. They are often too busy putting food on the table and getting clothes on the backs of the household to rehash old times. The slang, the technology, the diseases, etc., all change, but the human dynamics do not. Sure you may not want to share everything. Some things you have to figure out alone, but if it has to do with your health, money, or the law, you are going to have to bite the bullit and share the news until you are on your own.
Your Mom is telling you the truth, and even if she is too tired after doing whatever she does all day to do much better at helping, her job is to see to it that you live through it and move on to a life of your own. Just because she disagrees with you or says "no" sometimes doesn't mean she doesn't understand. To the contrary, it may mean she understands all to well.

Answer 2

You have to communicate with them. Sometimes the hardest people to talk to honestly are the ones closest to us. It's very difficult for me and I'm a blunt person. You must do it, though. You may even have to be more mature than your older family members about the whole thing. They are just human, and have their own personality flaws. You must also be able to put into words why you feel they don't understand you, and not hold anything back. The worst thing in the world is a young adult or teenager who is alienated from their family and without a strong, guiding figure during this tumultuous time in their life.

Answer 3

I felt the same way when I was younger, I had alot of struggles growing up , I always thought my mother hated me and didnt care about my feelings, but I later realized it was because I never sat down and told her how my family was making me feel. Parents sometimes are just so into their own lives they dont understand something they are doing could be bothering you. I know it sounds corny but you need to tell your mom exactley what you told us, she will understand it and be more sensative to the way you feel.

Answer 4

i am kinda like you, but i am a dancer, and i have to pay for dance lessons myself, and my family doesn't approve, they think i should become a actor, or a singer, i feel like they dont even care about me anymore with my dancing, but what you should do is talk to them and tell them how you feel, they will listen if you do and if they don't then tell someone you're close to like a friend,.
