Sometimes, I feel like talking to my parents is impossible. No matter what I say, they either don’t listen or they just don’t understand me.
When I try to tell them how I feel, they either give me advice I didn’t ask for or tell me I’m overreacting. If I say I’m stressed, they say, “You don’t know what stress is!” If I’m upset, they tell me, “You’ll be fine.” But sometimes, I don’t want to hear that—I just want them to listen.
I wish they understood that my problems are real to me, even if they don’t seem like a big deal to them. I wish they would ask how I feel instead of just telling me what to do.
Do you ever feel like your parents don’t understand you? What’s one thing you wish you could tell them without being judged? Let’s talk about it in the comments!

In general I’m okay with my parents we don’t have a lot of arguments or something like that.But some times they didn’t understand how much I want something, I know some time I want a little bit weird thinks but I want that so bad.also I know that I’m a person with a lot of energy some time they don’t trust me very much but I know what is bad for or not.l wait so much to be 18 to have my own life
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of things that I wish my parents understand about me without judging me. Sure when I was trying to say something to my parents would say “you’ll get over it” or “its not a big deal” and thats a big problem for the kids. If the parents act like this towards their kids, the kids then will not have the courage to talk to someone about their feelings or they would be scared to talk to someone because they might be afraid that they will judge him and then the kid may be antisocial. Thats why I dont talk anyomore to my parents about how I feel.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to hear that parents are NOT really listening - I wonder why? Do you think we should ask them about their day? Do you think they are stressed with work, expenses, life in general and freaking out because they have no one to talk to? What if we sat them down and told them that we are here and ready to listen - do you think they will see as then and start listening to us? What do you think?
