Hi everyone,
I know my parents love me dearly but sometimes I am confused by their behaviour. They try and tell me what to do, instead of letting me be happy. I know I am only 15 but I think I have an idea of what is best for me. Sometimes what they ask of me is just not what I want, and that makes me feel like a failure.
Can everyone just put down BRIEFLY examples for :
- when you feel like your parents are not listening to you (ie, what problem was it)
- WHY do you think they don't accept our views
- what to do next?!
Please leave as many examples here, let this be a growing list so that we all don't feel so alone when dealing with difficult parents.
Thanks lots.
