Answer #1

Say to them look I know your trying to make me work harder by saying all this so I do better, but puttin me down is going to make me feel worse to the point where I lose motivation to work hard. or alternatively stick two fingers up at them … my mum does the same but not because she cares, because she seriously thinks it haha. not nice is it:) tell them how much it hurts, if their not mentaly retarded like my mum or stupid..they should get the picture…x

Answer #2

if your parents are like that, do the most pleasing thing possible. prove the sons of biitches wrong haha. if they tell you that your shit, well go through high school go to college make something of yourself, then go to them and rub it in their faces. like people say pay back is immature I say thats BS. but on getting them to stop, point stuff out about them that they don’t really realize that makes them less of a person they think they are. just a word of advice for future references, don’t let people tell you who you are and what you can and can’t do with your life. prove all your doubters wrong and be proud of what you have with your life

Answer #3

Listen to what half of your parents say. I’ve been abused all my life, I know how it feels. Listen to the positives. I know how damaging it is when the tell you how worthless you are, when they tell you that you’re ugly, that you’re (ex) overweight or whatever. Don’t listen to it. And if it really gets out of hand, Call CPS. But if all your parents are saying is that you need better grades, just do it to make them shut up lol

Answer #4

Parents always have expectations towards their kids. Maybe your parents expectations are high and you cant achieve them. That is the problem I have with my parents.

Answer #5

okay well I think your parents are completely wrong. be confident in yourself. not wht other people say. they must think they are teenagers saying that getting into gay drama. be confident in urself not wht other people say. hope I helped :]

Answer #6

my dad tells me im doing great and pushes me to soar higher and reach the sky he thinks im great and loves the way im going and my mom and step dad well thats above

Answer #7

Yea I have the same problem. the reason they say it is because parents strive to have their kids do better than they did.. so when you get your own place you wont have to work as hard to feed and clothe yourself.. my dad calls me a worthless faliure all the time.. its cause they care.. they just suck at showing it
