I am sorry you have had such a bad time with your parents. Maybe you can suggest counseling ? Or talk to your school social worker and see what she has to offer.
I love all my kids- all teens now.
Sometimes it's hard to deal with kids who do not listen to you or who talk back.
I wish you the best.

I am a teenager, so I can somewhat relate to what you are talking about. But in being the oldest of three children, I've grown to realize that todlers, infants, and small children are still learning. Toddlers don't nessecarily know as much as we do, therfore, they aren't required to perform at the same standards that we (teenagers) are.

For instance, a mother wouldn't tell her four-year-old to do the laundry, or let them go to a highschool dance. In the same light, she wouldn't allow a fourteen-year-old to play in thier spaghetti or sit in the seat of a shopping cart.

The point is, it isn't that parents don't care what their little children do, but harrass their teenagers with scrict rules because it is amusing. (Although, I can agree with you that it does sometimes seem that way.) It is only that little children are exactly that; kids, and they have limitations too, just not like ours. We have more responsibilites and more major freedoms, and are expected to behave maturely in order to recieve those privelages. On the other hand, little children are allowed some slack, but still have to "hold Mommy's hand while crossing the street."

And that is all comming from a teenager with two sisters ( an eight year-old, and a four month old). Even still, you should talk to your parents and tell them how you feel. I do hope I could shed a little light onto your problem. More importatntly, I hope you understand that it wasn't in my intentions to sound like another person nagging at you. I know how you feel, and am only trying to explain things a bit. Well, good luck!

At first I didn't follow- you might look into some proper grammar books and stay after class a bit for tutoring. Sounds like your parents don't realise what raising a teenager involves and some parents just don't get it. I do not have a teenager yet- my youngest is 7 but I certainly remember what it was like to be a teenager and I will definitely keep track of my kids when they hit that age. They probably think you are grown up enough to make some adult decisions and trust your judgement so they let you do what you want. Most kids would kill to be in your shoes.

When babies are young children then parents are worried about them getting hurt or lost, etc. When babies become teenagers, parents are just as concerned about their child becoming hurt or lost, but mostly even more worried about their teenagers then their babies because there is so much more going on in the world these days. Everything is life is so sexualized it is a scary world out there.

I just wanted to say that some parents seem to think that the raising is done when they are teens... I see allot of teens that should still be at home learning.. But what is one to learn if its not being taught..
I also thought that it was very mean for people to pick out your faults with out knowing you.
Some times you have to talk to your parents if you are not to comfortable with that then maybe go to a family member that could help you.
All of us have had at one time or another trouble with our parents. None of us are perfect.
I'm sorry that you are feeling the way you are.
I wish I could be more of a help for you just know that your not alone..

As an adolescent your physique is changing and you exceptionally lots do no longer choose for all and sundry to work out you bare. those are the main bodily awkward years of your existence. whilst i replaced into an adolescent i could have been mortified If my mothers and fathers observed me in the nude, I in simple terms have not got self assurance it to be socially ideal. As a new child as much as age 5 i do no longer see a issue with it yet whilst your on your teen's it incredibly is going to become borderline new child abuse.

By the time a child reaches 13, they've had 13 years to know what the rules are and follow them without mommy standing over them reminding them all the time. By the time they have reached 13, they know what their chores are and how to do them and should not need mommy standing there instructing them.

Little children need supervision and instruction and reminders. Teenagers should not and are old enough to do what they are supposed to do.

What my teenagers do scares me more than what little ones do. I worry when they're out, and I find them nearly impossible to control sometimes. They think they can do whatever they want no matter what I say. Maybe that is why it seems to you the little ones get more concern? Because parents don't know what to do with teens sometimes.

1. Many parents are not like this
2. Sounds as if you need to ask your question to your parents
3. If this is how you feel at home, I suggest you talk to your clergy or school counselor for some help with some healing in your family
4. I wish you the best!

of course we care about the teenagers in our lives.they just don't get the same ammount of attention because they have already been taught right from wrong & how to hopefully make their own decisions wisely. Little kids are still being taught & have to be reminded often
