Family help: im 16 and my family just doesnt get me. - Help.com

as soon as you can, get the hell away from there. doesnt sound like its doing much good!

You’re 16, no one is supposed to ‘get you’. Things will work out when you have the perpective of maturity.

Have actually sat down and really thought about the things that you might be doing and the things that your might be doing to actually make the situation bad? Do you know what is expected of you? Have you told your parents what you think should be expected of you?

Actually if you can show that your parents are unfit parents and that you can do a good job at becoming a productive member of society and can actually support yourself with no help from your parents, any family court will cut you loose from your parents. Is that what you want?

but there wasnt actually any mention of bad parenting, was there?

i’m 33 and my family STILL doesn’t get me. just do whatever you have to in order to keep the peace until you can move out and live your own life with your own rules.

I love that children nowadays take everything for granted. If her parents were poor and lived in a one bedroom apartment, she would complain about that too! Either way, she would not be happy. Sorry, but you need to be more appreciative of what your parents actually provide for you. Emancipate yourself. Show that you can actually be autonomous and self sufficient to any family court of law and they will let you be free from your “parents who don’t get you.”
