I don’t know if it’s just me, but life feels exhausting. My parents are always on my case—study more, get better grades, think about your future! It’s like nothing I do is ever enough. The moment I take a break, they’re there, reminding me how I should be “using my time wisely.”
And it’s not just school. They always want to know where I’m going, who I’m with, what time I’ll be back. Can’t they just trust me for once? I get that they care, but sometimes, I just want to breathe without feeling like I have to report every little thing.
Lately, I’ve been feeling so angry, and I don’t even know why. I don’t want to argue, but I also don’t want to feel trapped. I just wish they would understand.
Does anyone else feel this way? How do you deal with it? Let me know—I seriously need to figure this out.

I'm in this way,my parents wants from me to have very high marks at school and to be the best schoolchild at school.They doesn't leave me to play like a child and to do things that I like to do!I know is because is parents,but I want to enjoy my life and don't waste it only in the same things.I tried to talk to them,but never listen me and at home have some bad days for me and my parents.After a lot of years I found a way to solve my problem.What I do?Firstly,I do all the things for school and after I do everything I want play videogames or go to play football.I think this is the best way to solve my problem.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. It's like you're trying to make people understand what you're feeling without telling them what you're feeling. Don't get me wrong though. I do know parents care for us and they want to know what's going on with us and why we're sad, angry, etc. But it just feels like too much pressure. I have so many emotions inside me and I can't even understand them on my own. So how am I supposed to tell my parents? And if I do tell them something they'll use it against me on one of our fights. And then they tell you why don't you trust them. How am I supposed to trust them when they treat me like a robot who has energy to do everything and anything? I'm a human too, I get tired. And even though I'm just a teenager and not "a parent" or someone their age, I don't get tired as much as they do. I seriously just want to be free from this. It's like you're trying to break free from jail but guards are everywhere. And yes, it's not just my parents. It's also my private life. My friends, my relationships. And the worst thing is that not even my best friend understands me. She has really chill parents and she just tells me to be nice to mine, like everything is going to be fixed that way. And life is way too hard already and I just started my teen years. I'm scared of what's going to happen in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi jason, to be honesty with you i dont have problem when my parents ask me where i am going and with who. But i think they ask us because they care about us . I think that you have to talk with them if they press you to do the job they want in the future. You can tell them that is your life and you can do what job do you like , you should also tell them that they press you to study more and you do what you can and that you are trying.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteYes a lot of people feels like this but not only at this difficulty.I beliefe that a lot of people has more or less difficulties with the parents.I have some difficulties with my parents but no so much that you have with yours.I try to think and to talk with my parents forthis and i think it is helpful.You will also talk with your parents to find on solutions
Hi Jason, I know it’s hard to deal with it every single day, but I will be honest with you i don’t like school and I don’t care very much, but I try to do my best every day. Now some parents are a little bit over protective for their kids and they do this to you because they love you , maybe you should try talk to them about it bc some parents they don’t realise that you want some freedom, so just talk to them. Some times I feel like you because you try your best and they saying your always on your phone, the best solution is to study a little bit and don’t spent a lot of time on your phone and maybe start a new hobby.
ReplyDeleteHey there! Thanks for all your comments. I feel better just knowing that I am not alone! It's tough being a teen, but I think you're all right - we should make the best of it because there will be more difficult times ahead when we get older. I will try and take your advice about doing my schoolwork first and then focusing on what I want to do. And I won't stop talking with my parents trying to make them understand me even if It's frustrating - I will try to keep calm. Wish me luck and good luck to you guys as well !! If you need to vent, you know where to find me!
