Why...........?

Question

My parents dont do ANYTHING for the Holidays! Nothing! I sit around being loneley watching my neighbors open presents of Christmas morning, how they make a roats turkey and invite friends and family to eat and have fun....we are kind of Jewish, so we do "celebrate" Hannukah, but all we do is light a menorah. Then my parents expect hords of gifts from me, like 200 dollars worth of my babysitting money. I dont have a cell phone, ANY friends because I'm homeschooled, I have to buy my own clothes, computer, bedding, chairs, etc and I'm only 15. I used to use my birthday money, like 40 dollars a year to buy clothes from the salvation army, because my parents didnt want to buy me any clothes, let alone toys. I'm MISERABLE and lonely, and when I tell some people I rarely meet they don't understand because they have GREAT lives and think i;m a freak! And they don't understand how I can;t go to their birthday parties or dances at their schools because my parents thinks that (continues below)

I shouldnt be socializing with boys at my young age. I dont care about boys, I just want friends and they dont beleive me! You all are just probably like "well, ppl have it harder than you" or "lifes not fair" but thats because youv never been in my posittion and you dont care! i NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You can't make people do things BUT suggest instead of big meal to offer help at a local kitchen like St.Marys or St. Vincent de Paul sometimes that'll break the ice!

Answer 2

If your parents are expecting a bunch of gifts from you,don't give them any.. because they will be like oh but it is Hannukah and there is no gifts...so they will be all bummed out and possibly invite family over
