Helllo (:
My name is Kaci && Im 18 years old. I know I am young, but I have been through somethings that have made me seem as if I am a lot more older than what I am. I love to help people. At my school, I am the person people come too regardless if they know me or not. Advice is what I do best. My strengths are relationships. Im always right when it comes to those, just not when it comes to my own, hahah. I may be young, but I promise you I will help anyone the best I can and I will not let you go through it alone. Im the type of person that likes to know what happens after I gave the advice, so don't be a stranger; Need Answers? Ask questions! *xoxo

I'm a fifteen year old girl and lately I've felt like I'm not good enough for my parents. They always concentrate on my weaknesses and not my strengths. Even the smallest things get me in trouble but when I try to talk to my parents about how I'm feeling, they shut me out. Even on good days I'll get ignored when I talk or they'll roll their eyes at me and say I'm just trying to be dramatic and get attention. When I get mad I start yelling and then I get in more trouble and my parents REALLY won't listen to me. They're hypocritical and judgmental and I don't know what to do. I feel like I can't really talk to them even though I'd love to be able to tell them how I feel and be able to talk out our problems. They just shut me out when I try to work with them so we can fix our relationships. What should I do? (link)

When I was younger I use to feel this way towards my dad, it was like NO matter what good I did, he could only focuse on the negative. Usuaully when a parent does this, its just because they aren't good with positive feedback. My father has never told me he was proud of me, and that hurt. Your parents are probably the same as my father. When they point out the bad, don't get mad. Think about it, and consider it. Try to make the negative things better so they won't have anything to complain about. Communication is a must in order to have a healthy relationship with anyone. Parents are going to be harsh on you, because they know what you are capable of. Dont take it the wrong way like I did. Take it as if its something to learn from. Parents often see what you are too blind to see, take their advice, and maybe asked them what you can do to become better at the things they are complaining about. Sometimes Teens can use a voice tone as if they are being "smart alikes", try to talk to them camly, or do what I did. Tell your parents something terrible happened to you, and you need someone to talk to, and usually they will begin to listen because NO parent would want their child in any harm. Sit them down, and tell them the only reason you said something bad happen, is so they will listen to you; express to them how you feel, but do it in a calm voice, and not a dramatic one. Than make sure you inform them that you appreciate all they do, you love them, and that you are grateful for them. Parents need to hear that just as much as girls do from the boyfriends. Try that.
