wut do u do when u are one of the only people in your family who is in honors/ap classes let alone still in highschool and all you get from your parents is nagging and them telling you every little bad thing they can come up with about you when they are almost hte farthest thing from a good role model. you havent touched ne drug and you turned your whole attitude around opposed to last year when u were the biggest brat ever but for some reason they were nicer, respected you more, and let you do what you wanted to more last year. you never get a im proud of you or that was nice of you or thank you. especially when you clean everyone elses mess. and you never tell them how much what they say gets to you?

I am proud of you!!!! I know it has to suck when the people you love don't want you to succeed because they didn't. Don't go to them for encouragment. Let your friends and classmates and teachers give you the praise you need and deserve. You love your family for being your family but you didn't pick them and you have no control over what they think and say. I am sorry your family is letting you down because it sounds to me like you are making good choices and trying hard to be a good person. Keep up the good work. Way to go! You kick butt! You are awesome! Doin' great! I am proud of you!!!!

You need to remember, you are powerless over your parents. I am proud of you and I don't even know you :) You will turn blue in the face trying to get them to see that you have done an about face and are being mature about school. Good for you! Grow your own garden, water your own soul, but don't wait to hear praise from those who cannot or will not give it. Maybe your parents are jealous in a slight way. Maybe they can't relate to you. My parents did the same thing to me, but it was because they were doing drugs, and I wasn't on the same wave length with them. I too have gone to school for a long time now (college) and it's the best thing I ever did for my self esteem. Keep up the good work, they may realize it someday, and let you know how proud they are of you.

I think you need to show your parents that you are growing up. Do that by acting like an adult. An adult would get your parents together and sit them down and say something is really bothering you. Make them understand this is a serious matter and you want them to respect you as a person not a child. Then tell them exactly what you wrote here. Don't whine or yell or be disrespectful to them. Be very calm and assertive. I believe they will respect you for your maturity. Hopefully they haven't noticed their behavior and will work on changing. Remember when you are talking to them to keep your cool!

Poor kid! Just persevere and you will always have some great sympathy-getting stories to tell your college friends.

Omai. That sounds like my situation..*Sighs* It really hurts eh? I don't know what I can tell you that will help you, but just ignore them, or confront them and tell them what is on your mind.
