Ugh
My dad threatens to ground me for EVERYTHING these days..... Getting a C, buying a thong, eating 'lots' of junk food, buying food for myself, yelling at him, sleeping in too late, waking up too early.. You name it, my dad threatens to ground me for it! I just got off-grounded for getting a C- in English & buying a bag of candy for a "party" that me & my friends had at lunch last friday. I HATE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!!! What am I supposed to do??

My step dad is just like your dad. I get grounded for one week when I don't keep the sink completely clean and I get no phone for a week when I don't close the shower curtain closed after I take a shower. Just little things make him ground me for a week and even more when I talk back. I can't really say anything to you to make him stop but I can tell u that it's normal, you're not the only person out there living with a control and clean freak. Just try to do the best u can with not talking back and try doing good in school and tell him and say a C is the best I can do. Tell him how u feel without going off on him.(i know it might be hard) Well, that's what i did and now he knows how i feel, and he is even less harsh on me now.

Wow you got it rough I jump up and down when I get a C. Maybe your dad is angry and is taking it out on you. I guess just stay out of his way and think before you do anything even the stuff that you think you wont get in trouble for and even the stupid stuff.

Well, by the way you sound it seems like you deserve it. I don't get GROUNDED for getting a C- or anything...but a party isn't thrown or anything.
All parents threaten to ground their children at some point...it's no big thing. And OBVIOUSLY he's not going to be too happy with you buying a thong.
Why would you HATE your dad for threatening to ground you. That's extreme...I cop an attitude wirth my parents a lot, but I NEVER EVER say i hate them, even if I do not mean it...that's just wrong.
There's nothing YOU CAN do. Just be a good daughter. Do better in school, don't by thongs (ew by the way), and just act respectful. If it weren't for your dad (or mom) you WOULDN'T have a roof over your head, food, or money to buy those UGLY THONGS!
Want my opinion, your PROBABLY A VERY NICE PERSON, but right now you sound like a spoiled brat...and there's nothing you can do about this...obviously he won't be happy about any of this. (Especially the thongs, the grade, and the sleeping late).

First of all the one thing you cannot do in this world is hate your parents, no matter how many mistakes leave you crazy.
What you need to do is have a pow-wow or a meeting with your dad, give it a name to show what you want out of it. (I suggest open minded forum) and tell him your thoughts rationally. You would be suprised what the response is when you show a little maturity.

Hey,
Me and my dad aren't the best of friend's either. I'd like to know how old you are, firstly, because if you're 14 or older, its likely that your dad is worried that his "little girl" (assuming you're female) is growing up too fast, and he wants to maintain some of that control over what you do. Me and my dad have NEVER been close; he hardly speaks to me and when he does its to tell me off, so just be assured that you're not alone. Don't get mad, don't get upset, just take a deep breath and say to yourself "i won't rise to it". The angrier you get with him, the angrier he'll get with you. I hope everything works out for you x

Sounds like he's a wee-bit overprotective.
In his mind, he is doing what he thinks is right to keep you safe and on-track. He thinks he is guiding you to making good decisions.
Hate is also a rather strong word.
If you really want to resolve the situation, depending on what he's really like (which I have no clue), your best bet is to NOT villify him and try to talk things over with him in a rational and adult manner.
