I'm Ice, and I'm a senior in high school. I'm a product of divorce, so that's my area of specialty. If you've got questions about divorce, remarriage, stepparents or siblings, or the custody system, just ask.
But if you have questions about anything else, I'd be more than happy to answer them also.

Lately I've been getting on my parents nerves. I can tell cause they're always mad at me. They say it's because I have a really bad attitude. Even though I really don't think I do. I usually have a great attitude about things. I've also been really into acting and every time I talk about it they just ignore me so I get mad. Just the other day he told me I did something when I knew I didn't so I calmly told him I didn't and he told me I was lying so I got mad. He told me to get rid of my attitude so I said no because he called me a liar. Then He got up in my face and just started screaming at me. I'm really confused right now and don't know what to do. Could any one give me some advive.
I'm 14 (link)

Around 14-15, things in the family start to get pretty funky. You'll say something and your parents will interperet it the wrong way. Or not hear you at all. Your parents could be under alot of stress at work. You could try talking to them when they're a bit calmer, or let the topic sit for a few days. Whatever you do, don't get mad and start yelling and calling names or anything.

It sounds as if you live in an extended family with grandparents and other relatives. The way our grandparents were raised is very different than how we in this generation are raised. Try talking with only your mom or dad, whoever symphathises with you better, or even an older cousin or sibling. They might be able to understand your situation better.
Also, see if you can take your sister along when you visit your friends.

Offer to trade. Vacuming the house or dishes for a week for a few hours out with friends. Then work up from there.

Lately, my mom has been telling the most random people really personal stuff about me. For instance, I bought a thong the other day, and my mom went and told all of the people at her work. I also trusted her when I told her who I had a crush on. She told my whole entire family and a bunch of her customers at her work. She also tells people what grades I get (A's, B's, & C's), that I'm "way too thin", and all this personal stuff. I've told my mom to stop, but then it always gets worse. What should I do? (link)

Your mom is doing what all proud parents do, showing you off. She sounds like she's proud that you're growing up, and is playing the 'my kid is better than your kid' game at work. Try feeding her good things about what you're doing at school: "Hey, mom! I made a 94 on the Algebra test today!", and lay off telling her about crushes and such.
