Why are my parents so ridiculous?
Question by Ton: Why are my parents so ridiculous?
I’m feeling pretty ticked off right now with my parents. I’m 13 and they treat me like i’m 2. For a couple instances, mainly my mother, say things such as: “Yes, you can have a friend over this week”. Then, when I question her, she says: “No, you need to study more”. I have straight A’s and my parents arn’t even lucky! When my report card came, they said: “Work harder, I know you are not responsibility your best.”
Wait…Seriously? Not responsibility my best? Straight A’s? They always say things and never keep their word, and accuse me of lying to them ALL the time, when clearly i’m not. They also say things such as: “Yes, you can use the laptop for schoolwork upstairs. And every once in a while, you can take a 5 minute break to try out sports or whatever. So, I study and write a paper, and then take my break. Of course, my mother walks in and see’s me cruising on the NCAA basketball page, and accuses me of being on there way to long, which is NOT right. Then, they always say: “I don’t care, if you want to play all day and get terrible grades, be my guest.”. Then, I get a A on the paper and when I try to imply that their incorrect, they ground me for being rude.
My parents yell and scream at me all the time, and my mom hits me sometimes. She hit me so hard once, with a peice of plastic or something, that I had plastic in my skull, and I have to get it removed, and THEY make me pay for it. Their reasoning? I made my mother upset, which is NOT the case here. I try my best to please them, and today, I questioned my mom if I may possibly watch a movie on netflix this early afternoon, and she said: “Yes, when I get inside I’ll place the password in on the laptop.”
When she comes in…guess what? “NO, stop asking me.” Later in the afternoon: “SHUT UP! YOUR ANNOYING YOU BRAT”. And then with dinner, when my bedtime is obviously TEN minutes away, she says: “watch your movie, but you only have ten minutes in anticipation of you have to go to bed. Then, I try reasoning with her, and she says: “your MY child, I can do WHATEVER I want.”
I’m getting REALLY annoyed to the top I want to leave and really go to a foster home. Any thoughts what to do?
PS. They are not the talking type. I can’t sit down and have a fixed conversation with them without it ending up in a fight, caused by some bogus reason.

Let’s face it parents always want you to do better then they did. Many of the parents know that Sat and GPA are vital mainly to get into a university, they want you to able to receive scholarships if possible, only way is a high GPA, also you can get in to the prestigious schools with High GPA, they want so much more for their children and they will have a successful life.

Sorry some people do not make very excellent parents. The best you can do is keep up your excellent grades and get caught up in as many activities as possible to get out of the house for now. Your excellent grades will get you a scholarship hopefully to a far away teach. This part of your life will not last forever, keep a excellent mind-set.
Wow. That sounds really terrible. Parents are perfectly RIDICULOUS at times. My parents baby me to but i guess every mother needs to face reality. I’m not that talkative either and so I wrote a letter/note to my mom who is the most reasoning of my parents. and she understood my problems and what was needed. we never talked in this area it but things have changed for the better. You may possibly try and go over to a friends house for awhile. If they don’t let you then… i guess what I would do is run away for a day or two to get away from all the disarray. I hear foster homes aren’t the greatest but whatever floats your boat. It really sucks being yelled at every day by the stupidest reasons but it makes you stronger in the end, Hope I helped you out some.
I reckon you should tell someone (A counselor, instructor, etc) in this area this. If your parents are striking you and hurting you enough where you have to get it removed that is not a excellent situation.
Be patient with them.
your reaching a age of having decent knowledge
and with time and age you may sure pass your mother in book knowledge
but always remember to respect them.
they have more life experience and probably come home tired from the work environment.
I imagine, they are trying what they can to raise you well and at the same time juggle all that life challenges them with (rent/work/debt/networking/food on the table/bills/spouse/children/family/taxes/health/etc.).
they will not always make the best choice or in some cases a right choice.
but bare with them.
they are your family.
I know it will seem like a up hill challenge for you now but use these rules.
-Do what they question of you (as illogical as it may seem sometimes, cooperate)
-Don’t complain or make demands. (instead offer a suggestion but only if they seem willing to listen)
-Don’t question something more then twice (or three time at the most)
-learn to appreciate what you have. (things may possibly be better, but always ALWAYS far worse)
-(In all seriousness) hug them more.
Be patient with them. your parents are just like you,
except they shoulder the responsibility of the planet, you call life.
