My parents make me feel like trash,

Every time I try to make a point, they ignore me, they don’t even finish listen to me before they cut me off…I’m getting tired of it, my parents tell me that I’m a waste of time, that I’m not gonna be able to get a scholarship because scholarships are for “super gifted students”, i know im not the best student in the world, but that doesn’t mean i cant get a scholarship right? I just got offered a wonderful oppurtunity that can get me a scholarship, and they want to shut it out, before we even look more into it, they are experts at bringing my hopes down…i dont think i can’t take it anymore, i cant talk to them because they’ll shut me out, or they think that im making stuff up, what should i do? HELP!

tell them this. Even if they pretend not to, they generally will listen to at least a part of your complaint. I get the ignoring parents vibe, and your right scholarships definitely AREN’T just for the “super gifted students.” In fact, many scholarships are directly aimed at the underdogs, who work hard in other things such as sports and extra-curriculars. The point is to try at SOMETHING. Ignore what you feel is hurtful from your parents. Remember that they love you and don’t intend to hurt you (even when they do) and that things will get better. Also, remember that in a few months you can go away to school, and won’t have to listen to their negative comments as often!

Prove it, you can get that scholarships :)

and sometimes, parents have a lots of burdens that we don’t know,
maybe their mind full of it so they can’t talk and focus with you.

Sometimes we must learn to motivate our self.
Good luck, you can do it :)

Evil beggars! You my love are brilliant! Look at what these people are doing and you are finding ways around them! Yay you!

You are right, you don’t need to be superbrain to get a scholarship. Talk to a teacher you like and tell them everything. Then tell them what you want and ask them to help you look into it.

Lee is right, they may have more on their plate than they can deal with at the moment. They’ve lost their shine and are maybe trying to prepare you if it happens to you. But you are getting lost in it all.

Try your present school. Anyone who’d know about a scholarship would be there.

Don’t give in. Forgive them.

Lmao forsparta.

You seem like a good kid. Don’t listen to them when they are bringing you down. You’re on the right path, don’t let their ignorance make you stop.

I agree with Lee PROVE YOURSELF to them make them treating you like trash be a good thing in life and motivate you to doing things they would think you couldn’t do!

when i felt like i was trash and when my parents told me i couldnt be anything in my life .I just got smart and started to make better more improved grades. before all that i started expressing myself by getting arrested for drugs and fighting.it seems really dumb because im only 13. see if you just talk to your parents they might stop but if you dont trust me it can and will get worse.

As long as you believe in yourself and have the drive you make your life what you want.unfortunately we also have obstacles we have to face and yours is your parents.don’t let anybody hold u back from your dreams stand your ground and don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do it because in the end your going to be laughing in their faces!
