friends help: I am a teenager that had not yet finished highschool, and still live with my parents. - Help.com

I am a teenager that had not yet finished highschool, and still live with my parents.

I am an only child, and my parents will not leave me alone. They won’t let me have an hour of privacy without checking up on me. I’m not allowed to close the door when I’m in my bedroom or the computer room. I see my dad when he’s home. That sometimes is only on the weekends. My dad is a two faced person–one mintue yelling at me to leave him alone, and the next he’s grounding me from not spending time with him.

My mother won’t let me do my homework by myself. This also goes with my music classes. If I’m not practicing in my free time, she comes in and won’t leave me alone untill I do. Other musically inclined people know that this is a nerve grinder.Am I the only person who doesn’t want to practice three hours a day? There might me a chance that I have other things to do, but my mom hasn’t figured this out yet.

‘Pick up your room. Make up your bed. Clean the toilet. Go feed the turtles.’ This was things she told me ten mintues before I started typing this. Oh. Here’s a few more. ‘we don’t live like this, go pick your backpack off your bed and hang it on the door.’ ‘Why aren’t you practicing? You have to preform Saturday, why aren’t you practicing?’–this was while I was typing.

I don’t get butterflies in my stomach when I get up on stage–My mother gets it for me. She such a nervous wreck that just the thought of me messing up on there, she gets upset. And here I am wishing some one would sedate her.

I am a top notch student that is EXTREMELY independant. The one time I made a B+, she yelled at me. My report card has to have A’s on it, or else. She makes me go over EVERY little thing with her. She contacts the teachers to make sure I’m bringing home the right books. She’ll correct it and get me to redo it if I missed anything.

If I don’t have a certain amount of time to myslef, or a few mintues of relaxation, my day is shot. When I get home, and I’m not smiling, she tries to make me do a mother-daughter bonding thing. If I tried to tell her that she is the source of my discomfort, it’ll only get worse. Believe me on this, I’ve tried. I only recently found out that I am an introvert. (A friend of mine made me take an extremly detailed test to figure out why I didn’t like some of her hobbies. Public places and me just don’t realy get along that well.)

I am sick and tired of hearing my mom’s voice. I don’t have any type of anger management, but every time I see or hear my mother, i have the strongest urge to be violent. I might be young, but I know when to leave someone alone. There are alot of times I want to yell at her, and sometimes I do. If this keeps up, I will never get my driver’s licence. I do NOT want to be stuck in this place for the rest of my life.

I’m so fed up with being treated like this. Someone PLEASE HELP ME.
