Answer 1

i feel for u. but i learnt to understand them by putting this word in my mind, " they juz wanna the best for me". other suggest is try to talk to ur parents, nicely. tell them how u feel about it. in this case u need to calm down and patient, try to be open minded person. sometimes we dont understand it now, but later when we become a parents, we will realize that we could be the same person as they do now. and the last one is, try to respect ur parents in any condition, remember the good things they done for u. love them for who they are. no body perfect, dear. so juz relax and take it as a lesson for u to be a better person. and u should grateful ur parents still pay attention to u even thou its too much. have u ever tot that there are other kids dont get that kinda attention as urs. its sad, indeed. so, be grateful and learn to be an understanding person, ok. wish u the best. and u can share anything at anytime. take care.

Answer 2

wel are you an only child or have any siblings?

i have the exact problem and lets call it middle child syndrome... my older sis didnt know what she wanted to be.. a good girl... a rebel.. goth.. etc you name it my sis has tried and know because of that my parents take their anger and disappointment out on me.. if i come home a few minutes late or stay out when im not.. its literally world war.

a recent example.. i went out for the night to a party quite far from home.. and i mean far.. i had to be home by midnight (which sucked) but however everyone at the party decided they werent going to go back to that side off town or just sleep at the house where the party was so you can imagine how much trouble i got into when i came home at 1 or half 1. my step dad wouldnt listen to me when i tried to explain the situation and to top it off my cuz took my phone that night so he couldnt get hold of me.. causes more shouting. she actually still has my phone to this day but will he apologise for accusing me of lying... NO

i guess its just the way parents are.. they cant accept that their babies are growing up and we will make a few mistakes here and there along the way. they tend to forget that they were young too and did the same things too..
