What do you do when parents get really mad at you?

My parents, mainly Mum can have a really bad temper.. as she always does. What do I do when she starts hitting me with books or threatening me? I get really upset and sometimes it’s not always my fault, I’ve only recently turned into a teenager. She loves screaming but I try to block her out,but it’s very hard with her loud voice. We are vietnamese, and all my parents care is that I get top marks, but not about how much fun I have. I can’t talk about personal things because she would just put it down or say its bad. What do I do?

well lets face it. us women (especially mothers) can get really moody and evil. she’s probably having trouble releasing her anger in a good way and therefore takes it out on you. (like a lot of people in this world). I guess at this point the only thing you can do is try and get those top marks just so you don’t get on their bad side, and with personal things, just talk to other people about it. someone you can trust that’s most likely an adult. if you tell someone your own age:

  1. they will most likely have no advice for you because we teenagers have so much less experience.
  2. they might use those things against you in the future so it makes things less safe.

it’s always good to talk to someone, no matter how much some people won’t admit it.
