My parents don't listen to me and now i am depressed?

Question

My dad, i cannot not even talk to and will never bond with again, ever. My mom, whenever i try to talk to her about how i feel, and she hears something she doesnt like, she starts yelling at me, and then i say why dont you listen to me (in a low tone) and she says "that's right i don't" (screams if it if i dont stop bugging her bout my prob within a minute). There is always yelling at my house between my mom/dad and now i am soo depressed because i know i do not look attractive and my praents fighting makes it worse. It went away because i thought i would get better, but then everything turns back to norm and my parents fight again, and mom doesnt listen to me. I even resorted to alcohol once (never got drunk thought only because none of the alcohol tasted good). They think its just a "phase" i am going through and i will "snap outta it" and it bugs me when they say it b/c i dont kno how much more i can take. Now i have basically no friends. i am 15. I dont want to see a psychologist

i think shes paranoid but she says she just worries but know its more than worrying. right now its fighting about braces and invisilign, she said i could get them but now she doesnt want to be cause one dr said yes to em and the other didnt...

the braces is sorta a stupid battle but there have been worse ones, and my depression is starting to turn to anger too...

Answer 2

Sometimes parents don't want to believe that their children are going through rough times.

I know my mom was like that a lot. She never wanted to hear it when I told her how I felt about myself and life. What I really needed was someone to talk to, but I didn't really have anyone. I was depressed too. It was a hard thing to go through, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, trust me.

You should get involved with activites outside of your house. Obviously it isn't the greatest environment, so maybe spending the least amount of time there would be good. And by getting out, you'll meet people and you will start to feel better about yourself.

The worst thing you can do right now is just sit around feeling sad. Even if you don't want to, get out and try to be happy.

And truly, I feel like I know what you're feeling right now. You can e-mail me if you want to vent more. I'd be happy to listen to you. Maybe that way you'd feel like there is someone out there who cares.

Good luck!

Welcome to the worst time of growing up. Know that it will get better in oh 3 years. Why not channel your energy like a job or something constructive that makes you happy, volunteer at your local animal shelter if you like animals, if you like kids, art whatever keeps you busy. Parents seldom see eye to eye with their teens. They are more focused on food ,shelter, utilities etc. it doesn't mean they don't love you but it's been a long time since they went through what your going through.Parents who yell probably had parents who yelled. Good luck it will get better.I went through that with my boys, I am a yeller, they turned out fine.

Answer 5

Start realizing that the world does not revolve around you, it's not their job to make you happy, it's your job to make you happy and that quick fixes like alcohol and drugs only make it worse.
