Think before you do things

Just accept this fact that everyone makes mistakes. You also do and nothing wrong in that.

The definition of mistake could be that when you do wrong things unknowingly.

If you do it 'knowingly', that's a point to be noted down.

Then, that's a habit...doing wrong things knowingly. Any habit can be changed, so, if it has become your habit, you can change it too.

Why people do wrong things knowingly? Because they can't resist the temptation (of whatever).

So, if it's the same in your case, you must learn how to control that temptation. In short, you need to learn how to control 'yourself', to make you strong enough to control your wrong wishes.

The good news is, you CAN control your wrong wishes. When you surrender to your wrong wishes against right wishes, you can also do just the opposite. It's just a matter of practice. If doing wrong things have become your habit, you have practiced it (maybe unknowingly). You can just do the opposite. It may be difficult in the beginning, as you would be doing it knowing, but a habit is a habit. If you make it a habit, it will become a habit.

The first step for facing a situation is to accept the situation. Accept the fact. Write down the facts on a scrap sheet. Don't take any action. Don't think about it. Just read it once and scrap it. Write it down again after a week. Scrap it again. Don't take any action. Just write and scrap for a month.

And after a month you'll find that your problem has gone.

Believe me and just do it. You're only scrapping, doing nothing so serious.

Try to learn from the mistakes you've already made and think about them before you're about to make another one. Think about how the fights make you feel and how they make your parents feel. I know to some its not "cool" to like your parents, but isn't life a lot easier when you and your parents are on good terms? The next time you're in an argument and you know you are wrong...just let it go. Listen to what they have to say and don't fight it. If you are a stubborn person its going to be difficult, but it will get easier. Try to be constantly aware of what you are doing and saying. After a while it will become second nature and you will not even notice you're making the right decisions.

Admitting your wrong takes a lot of willpower many individuals are scared to admit they are wrong at times. It may be that you fear of being rejected and not takin seriously. However, your family will take you more serious if you admit it and talk to them. Maybe you want the reputation of being a person that people can come to for answers and feel worthy of their time.
To become better at making decisions, you need to think about what you are saying and what some of the consequences are about what you say to others. In addition, ask more questions as to what you are about talking about and you may learn more that will help you make better decisions. Also, you would be suprised how easy it is to step up and admit you were wrong. Just have faith in others being open to you, you would be suprised. As they say, the only thing you fear, is just fear itself.

Good Luck

We all make mistakes. You learn from them and grow. Think about what happened and what you would do differently next time. In time you will change how you handle those issues. There is nothing wrong is saying "I was wrong", "I made a mistake", "I'm sorry". Sometimes people are blown away with your openness that they don't have anything else to say. If they give you a lecture, just get it over with and get on with life.

Everyone makes stupid mistakes, but most of us learn from them and try not to repeat them. Part of acting like a grown up is admitting when you are wrong. If you have any common sense, use it. That may help you from doing stupid things in the future. Obviously you know right from wrong...just don't do what you know is wrong.

Realize your limitations. Your parents love you, and you don't really want to have a relationship built upon angst and anger with them, right? Those inside feelings you are experiencing is your inner voice which is called; intuition, take heed to it and you will learn far greater things than you could ever imagine.

Just admit when you are wrong, or apologize with an honest heart and you will see changes occur. Good luck.

I'm assuming your teenage years? If so, the adults on here have been there got the t-shirt lol. Your growing up Hun, its called being a teenager, but I'm 120% certain your parents understand this. Don't worry to much. Explain to them in a letter which you know they will find when you've left to go to school if you carnt face them. Best luck.

We all make stupid mistakes from time to time.....it's just human nature. But if you try to justify those mistakes in an attempt to save face, you are doing yourself an injustice. If you admit you made a mistake, attempt to correct it, learn a lesson from that mistake, and vow never to repeat it, then it's ceased to be a mistake and has become a life lesson. And you can get over it and move on.

So sorry to hearken to your discomfort,you opt for an assessment by a Psychiatrist,URGENTLY. Please do not postpone,your temper section variations opt for regulating,in time you will come back,it is not the next day, yet there is desire-and as you're clearly a great guy or woman who needs a probably chemical imbalance regulating,i seem forwards to listening to from you,up or down-this appears like manic melancholy to me btw take care Richard (im on your contacts)

Learn over TIME. you can't change yourself to accept being wrong right away. What I do if I'm wrong...admit it. It will honestly cut down the arguing/fight situation dramatically.

I was kind of in the same boat, I couldn't accept being wrong or I felt like I had to argue about everything.

Over time I just said it out loud to whomever that I'm wrong. IT ends the situation, plain and simple. The weird part, you'll feel good about yourself.

good luck!
