My parents are always saying i spend way too much time in my room and not enough time downstairs. But the truth is everytime i try and go downstairs with them they are yelling at my little brothers about them not doing their homework, not eating what they made them for dinner, the list goes on! All i want is to go in my room and shut the door!
Do you think they should be mad at me because of that?

Have you taken the time to explain this to them?
They can only guess what is wrong if you don't tell them. Their anger is more like frustration. It's very frustrating to know something is wrong with your children and not know what.
Talk to them about it

They just miss you, you go to all the trouble to create a family and then at a certain age kids get an attitude and close the door on you. Its demeaning but hey this is just a parent" whos been there ,"perspective. Then drugs also mean a kid closes the door, so in all fairness and love give them a couple days a week where your downstairs and hang out and be cheerful friendly to all! Making parents happy is free! Do tell them in all honesty, what you said here cause it sounds ok to me to be honest, just don't ignore their feelings to see some of you either. Your special and precious! Parentally speaking from the heart of course!

It is always nice for a family member to interact with each other in the house. That will bring them harmony, love and understanding. Being alone in your room makes you a solitary person which is not good for your personal development. Interact with your siblings and make communications with your family. This way you will grow to be a better person.

Yes. Staying in your room and ignoring your family is a cop out. I told my 16 year old son if he wants to live in his room that's fine. he can pay rent for the room. We will treat him like a tenant. That is what you are when you stay in your room all the time. Your family is very important. You need to enjoy them while you can as one day you will look back and wonder where all the time went-while you are scolding your kids.

IDK, really, sry. It's ur parents who are discipline them. I guess they shouldn't, but then they should. Have you told them how you feel? I bet it may be hard, but try to bring up a conversation...try with your mom. Ask her how she was when she was a little girl. Did her parents get mad at her? How did they discipline her? Do that same with your dad. And see if you guys can work something out.
Maybe you can plan out a family get together on Saturday or Sunday nights. It can be a special night where you guys can have time with each other and not worry about anything. Rent a movie, get a bowl of popcorn, and flop yourselves on the couch and watch the movie.
Instead, you may want to play a game...like Scene It, Monopoly, Srabble, etc...Something that you guys enjoy. When you have time talk to your siblings on how not to get mom and dad mad by doing their homework once they come home. If you're the oldest then see if you can help them.
IDK, wut else to say...ALL of wut i jst typed came out of my head...wow! it feels good to help someone! :)

no, be mad at your brothers for not doing their homework and not eating what is set before them.Ever been hungry?Go without food and only drink water for about 3 days hon, youll get a small taste of what others feel like in other countries and some homes here in america.

My parents tell me I don't spend enough time with them in living room and I'm like "Excuuuuse me if I am not madly in love with frickin' Wheel of Fortune"....I like to sit on the floor in my room and play Paper Mario on the Gamecube better.

Sounds more like your parents want you to spend more time interacting with you brothers instead of avoiding them.

I don't think they should be upset. Why should you have to listen to something that really doesn't concern you. Maybe they think your brothers will see you leaving and follow your lead! They probably are using you as the "good example"
