What to do when your parents hate you and it's tearing you up inside?
Asked by: AzureRain from DEMAREST, NJ
Everyday I wake up, my parents scream, yell, or just ignore me. They constantly borate me with slaps, screams, unseemly questions and the like. I'm not unruly, I do what they say, and I get straight A's in High school... what more do they want from me? My mother insists on dressing me every morning that I don't go to school (when I have a uniform). I'm constantly told what to do or what not to do. I have to be careful with what I say around them and what I do. Everything is always misinterpreted. I'm so tired of wearing a mask every day just to make them happy so they don't yell and scream/hit me but they still find fault. They drive me crazy, I have no real friends because of them.... Why do they hate me? Is it if I'm not the perfect child that they can brag about to all their friends, I'm worthless? If I don't go to college and become a Doctor I'm absolutely crazy? I can't go out with my friends, they always say something negative to me, no matter what. Like when I found out that my poetry was going to be published, my mother came and said, "Really? I doubt they're serious, your work is horrible." I get yelled at so often, it's made me afraid to speak in my own home, it's like I'm walking on eggshells all the time, careful with every step. And then my parents scream/reprimand me for not speaking enough. Why do they hate me? (I've even started to cut.. everything is insane)
I try talking to people - they don't believe me...
I tried to move in with a friend
- my parents filed a missing person (after they kicked me out) and had the police go fetch me home, putting on a huge show for their benefit
I tried running away
- I ended up walking 25 miles in one night, but then the police caught me two days later
And I don't turn 18 for a while yet
- I go to a private school which is great (have a lot of friends and it's a really good/competitive high school where I'm doing really well) and If I did leave, I would not be able to go to college....
I feel like I'm stuck....

I think you should hang on till your 18, at college, study hard away from your parents. You sound like a super intelligent sorta person and are obviously are going to make your mark in the world. Just wait a while, study, try to ignore the disparaging remarks. For every negative there is a positive. This agro your getting is making you study harder to get away, so that there is a positive, look for more, there are plenty there.

With your situation there's a lot left unsaid, such as are you an only child, youngest, middle, oldest child in your family, and how old you are (none of which I want answered)


There's a lot to be said about your situation, but with you cutting then I'm thinking you're likely not going to take heed on this but do as you will...

sad story...well...try staying after school and talking to a teacher or someone you trust and have them come home with you and try to get your parents help. It sounds like they expect too much of you, but try that.

Talk to the child abuse authority people about it, they just might be able to get you out of there and into a better environment.
