Why would anyone care about me?
I get good grades and that’s all that my mom cares about, that and how I look. My dad doesn’t care at all. I’m the star athlete on my team. I know one person cares about me, and truly me. But why? Why would anyone care?

a lot more people care than you think :) i’ve gone through that
People care alot of they just don’t show it, just got to look pass the black/white.
There has to be reasons why someone would care…I do :)

yes, I have to agree. People care for nice people, even if the nice person doesn’t always realise it.
People care when they believe there is something inside that’s worth caring about. But that knowledge of depth and individuality has to come from yourself first. ^fuzzysweater cared and invited people to read this post ^.^
Your mom cares because she obviously wants you to get good grades so you will have a bright future, if she didn’t care she would let you fail. And she doesn’t care more about your grades than you, she cares about you so she wants you to get good grades!! Maybe you should talk with her about how your feeling, sounds like you just need some quality time with her and parents really don’t always know what their children are feeling, you have to share it with them. Hope this helps! By the way I care!! :)
Thanks, and I’ve tried to talk to her. She doesn’t want to talk she just shuts me out and doesn’t listen or she freaks out
Write them a letter to tell them what you’d like to have happen. Sometimes parents don’t want to suggest things bc the kids don’t act like they want to hear what we’ve got to say. If you wrote down more than mere complaints, and actually say “Mom, on Tuesdays every week, I’d like that to be our night to make supper together” or “Dad, I would really like for you to attend my games once a month. Here’s the schedule and here’s when I’d like you to come.” or “On Thursdays, I think that it would be a great idea to have a game night. Let’s do board games. That way, it’s completely clear what you want and they can try to arrange things to include you.
Sometimes parents don’t realize what kids need most is their parents to listen because they are so busy in their own lives, I’m sorry this seems to be your situation. I do believe she cares for you, she’s just distracted by life. Do you have other family you can talk to that will listen? I will Pray for you that things get better, in the meanwhile I’m on here some if wanna talk to me.
I’ve tried that…The last time I tried to make dinner with my mom she started screaming at me saying I wasn’t doing it right. I told my dad about my games, intrmurals, camps I gave him the schedule and told him that I’d like him there. He never showed up.

Good Idea and maybe include that you want to have more communication with them.
Can you take the time to write down what she does as she is doing it, sorta like taking “recipe notes” so that you’ll know exactly what to do for the next week?

Maybe. I don’t know if it’ll work though. I’ve kind of accepted the fact that they don’t care.
:/ It’s not easy to accept. I encourage you to keep trying. Tell them about other people’s parents going to the games, or about what so and so does with her mom or dad. They might get some inspiring ideas.
