parents help: How can i help myself in life? - Help.com

There is a lot going on in your life. Giving you helpful answers requires knowing a lot more about you and your family. But I do have an idea. Maybe you could get some advice from other teens dealing with the same issues? I found some websites that might give you a chance to do this:

I hope this helps. Write back if these sites aren’t helpful. We can come up with better answers for you then.

Families can be tough. I know it doesn’t seem like it now, but your parent’s being over protective is probably their way of showing that they care about you. Getting your life on a good path - finishing school, taking pride in your accomplishments and working hard to build a strong life outside your family will ultimately lead to you finding yourself. I read your questions and it definitely felt like something I could have written 20 years ago. But now I am buidling a happy life and a happy family of my own (even if my parents do still seem to prefer my little sister that’s okay, because I’ve done great.)

Good luck and just know you are not alone.

well, i think ur parents love u a lot or they wouldnt be so protective…..anyway, u said they used to cut class…so just try to gain their trust back. maybe u can do that by getting an a in that class or something….by the way, i guess im not a normal teen either becuase i cry almost everyday about my parents not trusting me, but ive never really done anything to make them mad sooooo…..idk i think its pretty normal for teens to be mad at their parents…..
