I am so depressed !?!?

Question

My parents spend NO time with me. My dad is always at work and when he is home then all he does is sleep. Or when he's not at work he's at the gym or with his friends. My mom is either helping my brother with his homework or playing with my sister or taking my siblings to one of their friends house. They always take their sides or let them use my stuff, after I tell them they can't because they break it or lose it. What should i do? I have tried talking to them, they don't seem to care.

I am so said, please help me.

Answer 1

If your parents are not listening to you, you need to talk to someone else. Anybody. A friend. A school counselor. Maybe you could get involved in some sort of hobby. Express your feelings with art or go for a really long run. Find something that your passionate about and focus on yourself. Don't let your family pull you down. It can be hard but you can do it.

Answer 2

Talk to your parents again. Tell them that they are neglecting you. Tell them that they are favoring you siblings. Stronger words will get their attention and bring them to reality.

Once your parents know how you feel, they should put in more effort to spend time with you, but you can also suggest outings. If they always seem to be busy, plan ahead. Ask your mom what she's doing next week. Tell her that there's a big sale at the mall, and it could be fun to go shopping together. Do the same with your dad. Also, take their insterests into consideration. If your dad loves the outdoors, go bike riding! If he perfers to do something more relaxing, make sundeas and watch comedy. At least you're together.

Also point out times when your parents ignore you or spend more time with your siblings. This will show them the exact changes they have to make and help them udnerstand the situation better.

Good Luck. I hope this helps!

Answer 3

How old are you? Give your mom a hand with your brothers and sister. Explain to your Mom how you feel. It will work out. your items that are very important to you do not let your brother or sis ter touch it. You can help your Mom with making Dinner that will be you a chance to talk to your Mom. Your parents still love you.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I'm sorry. But maybe now is the time to start venturing away from family but into a new social surrounding. You can meet new friends by joining a near by church teen group. There also maybe groups at school you could join to meet new friends. Your family will always be there for you..but now is a good time to start finding yourself and to start developing close friendships!

Answer 6

Call a family meeting, do what ever it takes to make them sit down and listen. I wish more kids would speak out. I had a friend who lost a kid because his parents were so wrapped up in their own lives. Unfortunately he didn't speak out. Know that your parents do love you........(sigh) don't ever give up hun. Maybe try talking to your school counselor, he/she might be able to set up a meeting with your parents to help you make them listen. Write down all your thoughts on how you feel and how you feel that they treat you......all the best to you.

Answer 7

Like they say "It get worse before it get's better." I find that hard to believe sometimes to but it's the truth. and don't think twice about it, your parents truely love you and they do realize every extra thing you do to make them happy and even though their taking someone elses side they now where your coming from.I have a dad that works and sometimes i want see him for two weeks and i only see my mom every other weekend. but i know they love me.so remember they love you and you might want to tell them how they fell though they MIGHT not listen atleast you can say u tried

Answer 8

Have a talk with both of your parents together. Express how you feel. Maybe they do not know exactly how you feel. During the conversation one person should speak while the others are listening so everyone will be able to express themselves>

Answer 9

i feel sorry for you - but, please don't feel sorry for yourself - show your family that you are strong; maybe, try to help your mom with all the duties she seems to have that she is unable to see your needs. instead of using it for the bad, try to make yourself a better person, showing that you are independent and can handle yourself in any family situation. i know it's hard, but, if you want to grow and not feel needy by getting what you feel you deserve to get from a family - it's the only way. show your own inner strengths, give of yourself and when the time does come that your family, i hope, recognizes what you are doing - and what they haven't done - you'll be the smarter one to realize that you can give love and not look for it in return -but to be able to do it from within yourself - because, first of all, you love yourself, and from there you can love the people that hurt you, and you can rise above it and them in there own selfish ways. don't be like them - if anything you can learn from them, and that is not to be like them. i hope you can do this and it works for you and it makes you a stronger individual that you can face any family problem because you know you are strong with faith and love within yourself. i wish you well.

Answer 10

Sorry to hear that your depressed. Have you talked to your parents about you being left out? I think that is the best thing for you to do ASAP. I've been told if you don't speak up know one will do it for you. I wish you good luck :)
