Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl and my parents just don't understand me.My mom and dad had a divorce and I just hate it. They don't realize what this has done to me and how much its effecting me. My dad is ALWAYS lecturing me about how I'm going to screw up my life when I'm 18 and that he's not gonna help me when I'm older. Every chance he gets he tells me to get better grades and I'm the laziest person ever and I don't do anything. He doesn't Ever appreciate what I do for him and he doesn't realize that I want to do things regular teenagers do. I watch my 4 year old little brother all the fricken time and I never get to do anything a regular teenager does. I never go out or nothing just sit at home watching my brothers. My mom just doesn't give a sh*t she never wants to listen to me and married a complete moron (my stepdad) and they had a baby. He is currently 11 months and I watch him to. My dad thinks I'm a complete failure and he is always putting me down. I cry every night and try to put a smile on my face the next day. I'm fed up with it I need someone to help me to give me a reason to smile. (link)

I was in a similar situation when I was your age except my mother was like your father. My parents were divorced, I went back and forth to each house every week. My mom was terrible, she told me if I didnt let her get full custody of me, I would be nothing when I turned 18 my father would disown me. She said I do terrible in school (( I did terrible 9th grade year then went to a christian academy and had B honor roll )) she would say how she hated me and wish I was never born, basically making me feel similiar to how your feeling, like your worthless. My mom got married, had a child then divorced. She had full custody of her baby, I watched my little brother almost every night while she went out dating other random guys, this went out for a long time. My mom then was going to get married again to a guy I barely knew, she met him online and dated him for 6months. I couldnt take it anymore and decided to live with my father. My father wasnt a horrible dad, but also wasnt the best dad. He did not show his love for me nor did he really talk to me, I pretty much supported myself by buying groceries, clothes, etc. Honestly, moving out of my moms was the best decision I could ever make, it sucks not having a parent figure at a young age but if you handle it the right way you will turn out stronger then before. Since my mom talk so down about me, I used it to make me stronger and prove her wrong, I went to college in 11th grade and never stopped, I am now an accounting manager and working on my bachelors degree at the University of Maryland. I have gained so much knowledge about everything just by viewing situations instead of making them make me worse, if that makes sense to you? When I lived with my mom I felt so terrible about myself, I attempted suicide. Luckily, I had a friend come help me. There are a ton of kids with bad situations at home and turn to drugs, alchohol, and just not caring about school or their future, if you do this then you let your father win and let him control the situation. Instead, you need to set goals and do good for yourself and your future, you will feel so much better about yourself once you accomplish goals your father never said you could. you should conisder moving in with a family memeber, is your mother and step father really that terrible? I would move in with her for the mean time, just to avoid hearing those things your father tells you and then find another family memeber or friend to live with.
