It's hard when your a teen, that's when your trying to become your own person separate from your parents & figure out who you are. I's also hard for parents because their babies, who they have made the center of their lives, are now growing up & away from them. But parents also know that if that didn't happen then there would be something wrong with their kid & they don't want that either. It's just a hard time for both, but you just have to do the best you can & remember in a few years it will get a lot easier. Once you get through the teen years & get a little older, you will be able to be closer with your parents again. Just in the mean time, don't get disrespectful, or do things that could damage your relationship forever & try to remember, your parents are probably as lost as you are right now, so don't be to hard on them. They love you & they know you love them & they understand what your going through a lot more than you think they do. They also know what all is out there that could hurt you & tempt you & mess up your life forever. Thats why they seem like they don't trust you, it's probably more that they don't trust world outside of your house that you enter every time you walk out the door. Just show them that your smart & can take care of yourself & don't fall for everything that people tell you & that you make good decisions. They should start to trust you more then. Good Luck!

Continue to turn to God in the name of Jesus, God cares for you and longs to have a very personal relationship with you. We all go through trials and this one will pass someday, find a good church, one that teaches from the Bible and not fancy ceremony. God sees what you are going through and He knows how you feel. Teen years are a difficult time, be patient. I'm sure Timothy in the New test. was a teenager when they wrote about him.

Do you have a Bible? Read in the Book of Psalms or Proverbs and pray to the Lord and ask Him to help. The Lord can change their minds and your mind. You will be a happier person when God gets into the picture. Trust me.

You have to meditate, figure out why you are so angry. THat happens to me. Explain this to your parents. They were teens 2!!!! They will probably understand and help you. If that doesn't work, try getting your anger out. Punch a pillow, scream into a pillow, count to three, or do something else. It's really just a hormonal stage and it'll pass.

I know exactly how that is. You need to give it time . Its good that you see yourself pushing them away. Try to do more one on one things with them talk to them . I used to be the same way and now my mom is one of my best friends that i tell everything to and we didnt always have the best relationship .. GOoD LUCK

do something for them. (even if it is just making dinner) something that shows you care and want to connect. another good way to connect with them is just talk. about anything. school, stuff that is important to you, stuff important to them, music, books, movies, tv, etc. and don't forget to listen to them too.
