How can I convince my parents to let me listen to Linkin Park? Their music makes me feel like someone understands. I'm 15 with depression/anxiety/other mental health issues, and my parents don't know about Bennington's death.
Your best shot is to talk to them about it, focusing on getting them to fully understand how you experience your condition. They likely don’t understand how you feel and might have trouble empathizing with your current state, so I would set that as a first step. Try to use analogies you think they might be able to relate to. People that haven’t ever experienced putting a nail through their hand have no idea what that feel like - the same goes for depression/anxiety but it is worse because the lens you experience life through isn’t the same as theirs, so they will see your experiences/perspectives as irrational.Ask them to set aside rational/irrational judgements (no statements of “But it isn’t that way” are allowed as you are describing your experiences) of your perspective and immerse themselves in your world.If they can truly immerse themselves in your world, and see your pain, then they should be understanding if some music makes it feel like someone understands.But hopefully having this conversation with them will help you know that they love you and they understand this side of you. People that do understand are much better than music that makes it feel that way.
Im getting frustrated my parents wont let me do anything their so protective its annoying?
Girl dont feel so bad you just became my best friend im 16 too and my parents are the same way they treat me like im 2 my dad is so over protective it just get so annoying i just want to tell him but i know he will get mad and get an attitude or whatever. Like the other day i asked to stay at my friends house he was like no straight up i was like dam. So he brought up some other story talking about am i getting married anytime soon i was like no i was like what are you talking about he was talking about this paper where i had wrote me and my bf name and i wrote his last name as mines.. So he got mad and was saying that i need to focus on school and all this crap which i am but he brought that whole subject up just off of me staying over my friend house then he talking about no you cannot stay b/c youre not going over there i was like he dont even stay here he was like so end of story. But luckily i only have a year left & i'll be away from him this summer hopefully b/c im joining the army i cant wait to be away from this is a joy in my life i never felt more happy. Now dont get me wrong i love my parents so much i really do but they go over board sometimes really. I look around at my other friends people that are even younger than me they can do more than i can i be like dam what wrong w/ my parents then & my mom is the exact same way so dam dramatic she always says something like " we dont know these people around here and what if something happens to you or you end up missing" i be like oh my god ma just give me a little freedom my cousin just turned 15 and she gets anything she wants and can go wherever she wants. My ma said thats b/c her mom is not a real mom though she needs to stop trying to be her friend and be a parent but yea its very very very frustrating. I cant even walk down the street either w/ out my dad being in my business sh!t i cant even talk on my cell phone w/ out him wanting to know who it is thats why i cant wait to get a job so i can pay my own bill.... Life sucks thought in the house w/ the parents but i'll look back one day & be thankful for it but not now b/c i cant experience anything really as a teenager. Just be strong and when you graduate just show your parents what you can do w/ out them and go far far away LoL!!!
MY sister is a pure evil bent on destroying my family!! Please help me focus on my life.?
slap the **** out of that ho3 i wouldnt let tht **** fly in my house
Can my parents force me to take medicine?
No, I don't think so. Being 17 is not the same as 7, and as you get older you get to make more of your own medical decisions. It isn't like a switch just flips when you turn 18. How are they going to make you take it? Would they physically force you to swallow it? That would be abuse.
How do I deal with parents who fight all the time? My parents argue over trivial things. Mom has a temper, blames people, and controls everyone. She compares us with others, saying how good they are. Dad is too stubborn to apologize, and has an ego.
There is nothing you can do about your parents' fighting. Believe me. I spent years wondering what I could do.The only thing that you can do is get some space from it. It is not likely that their relationship is going to change unless they decide to change it. It's not up to you or your siblings to change them and trying will just make it all the harder for you to disengage from this very toxic dynamic in your family.It's time to grow more independent of your family and seek more sane and peaceful relationships for your own life. These dynamics have a way of creeping up into your own relationships simply because you have been in the midst of them for years. You need to know that and begin to become as conscious as you can about thinking about and having good communication in your life.Decide how you would like to proceed in creating a different energy in your life from the one that your parents have created. Get some help for this. Over time, you will create your own set of relationships that are based on healthier, more loving values. If that becomes your goal, you will begin to beat the stress and move forward in a new direction. Just don't spend your life getting stuck in their dynamic- unless you want to create such drama in your own life.
My sister just started her period, and i cant handle her mood swings!!!!?
