parent troubles please help !!!?

Question

I've thought of suicide for a while now..(but I don't think I'm suicidal but if I found something that was quick and painless I would do it!!)

I lied to my mom. I was trying to hang out with a friend who I haven't see for a while after volunteering at this thing. It didn't happen though I figured I wouldn't go!

Then one of the grownups called my parents telling what I was trying to do. Now I'm grounded for life. Just as I though it couldn't get worse my dad made a work schedule. Making me wake up at seven and everyother day at six so I can work out with his squadron (hes military). I get straight A's but it's no longer worth it...so screw that. Even if I'm not suicidal what if I had tried to do it you think it would get them off my back. They even took away my myspace! And my dad been checking everything I've been doing like who I've been calling.

What should I do. I have a step dad who is kind of a looser and I'm thinking of moving there... what should I do???? :[

Jordan:
Last question first. You can't run from your problems, they are always there when you get there. It really helps everbody envolved to once a day for all people in the house to turn off the one eyed monster, sit down and visit. Hell just ask your parents to go for a walk with you. You can't know a person unless you spend time togeather. Ask them questions about their youth, and really listen. TAlk--Talk--Talk. I,m rather certain this will work. I,m 71 years of age. My children range in age from 50 to 14 in age. I still have two at home. We talk. We go places with each other, Resturants, movies, parks, etc. Visit with your parents and you will discover that they are your best friend. They will discover that you are a really good kid. That little baby that they loved and protected is growing and still needs them. Visit---Visit---Visit. I think at 71 I do know what works. Have fun relearn your parents. My 14 year old son Clayton loves to go to construction sites. I take him, we have a great time. What do you like to do that one or both of your parents will do with you?????? Clayton's mom is dead. Don't wait until your mother is dead before wishing you had done things with her. Clayton and his mother loved to go camping togeather when she was alive. They went without me. Gave me private time. Have fun with your parent. Tell them you want time with them. Please give it a try. Past Sunday I spent time with my eldest son Tony and youngest Clayton. About 10 hours. Jordan give an old man your ear, and try it for 60 day's. Have fun.

Answer 2

For one suicide is never the answer to any of your problems, it will never resolve anything it will just make it worse. Try sitting him down and having a talk with him and ask him not to be so strict with you and tell him how you feel about everything. Sometimes communication helps alot. And runnin away from your problems never helps they will still be there waiting for you when you get back and maybe be worse. Sometimes parents are a little strict because they only want the best for you in life. But it does sound like your dad is going to overboard with being strict. So maybe you talking to him about it would help alot. If it doesnt then you might have to deal with it till your old enough to move out of that situation. But good luck with it

Answer 3

I have the option of considering and then choosing personal responsibility and know that parents have a job to instill in me right from wrong because they are committed to their job...at least mine are.

I know that if I make mistakes and I'm learning altho I have a stubborn streak that I need to work on which I have the opportunity to do. If not, parents teach that making better decisions is a plus because when I'm out on my own - like my parents are - there will be rules. They also know that one day I will be a parent and can't blow my job off when my child needs guidance even if he or she assumes I don't love them I will have to get tuff if it's needed. I'd think twice about the running to step-dads instead of dealing with my consequence if I thought his behavior is shaky. I don't know if it's true but it doesn't sound like a good idea if that's the case.

Answer 5

Is it possible that all this is coming down on you for your actions? You lied to your mom causing her not to trust you as much. That means tightened schedules and restrictions from the usual perks of life (MySpace). At least it does when you have parents you care about you.

Your choice now is whether to make the situation better or worse. Worse will happen if you try to kill yourself. That leaves you with no chance to ever be happy again. No chance to change things. No chance to learn anything new.

Giving up on your grades is also changing things for the worse. Getting good grades shouldn't be for your parents. It should be for yourself. You're the one who benefits from learning. You'll have a wider range of skills to draw from in the future making it easier to get and keep everything from jobs to love to friendships. And the good grades that come from good learning will make it easier for you to get away in another productive manner: college.

My advice is to suck it up and learn from your punishment. Act like a good son and a good person and eventually the restrictions will lighten up.
