bad attitude (sp)


Question Posted Monday June 7 2004, 11:20 pm

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

lol, i have had the same problem too when i as 14-16.. but see, sometimes, kids your age, do have an attitude, and just dont realize it. sometimes its just the tone of your voice that could come off as an attitude. maybe, you shouldnt get smart and say no when he tells u to get rid of your attitude, and you shouldnt say no to your parents anyways. maybe, u should just, calmly sit down, and talk to your parents, and ask them what makes them think you have an attitude, and then go from there.

I dont really talk to my parents like that because in order to receive respect you have to give it. My parents would like be soo mad and like yell at me to if I were to talk back. Just say ok. And get it over with because you shouldnt be doin that to your parents, its like mean. Just be straight up be like Dad, Ok im sorry I didnt mean to and leave it like that because if you argue back and forth it only makes matters become worse! Hope I Helped!

First of all, your parents might be going through a hard time right now. Concidering you are 14, you probably have lots of stress too. Either way, try sitting down and talking to your parents. Tell them when you just need to be alone. Hope it helps.

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.

Hey
I dont have the best relationship with my parents either; they always say I'm too smart with them, that I have a bad attitude and whatever. Sometimes it's not *what* you say that upsets parents, but the *way* you say it. You're 14 now, and you're growing up fast; your parents know that they're not going to have a say in everything you do for much longer, and this results in conflict. Just be calm, dont rise, dont scream and shout (as tempting as it is), and let your parents get on with it. Hope this helps :)

Your dad (I'm assuming the He was your dad) had no right to get to angry at you.

Maybe write your parents a note where you tell them basically what you said here -- how you fell ignored and how being screamed at hurt. Leave it where you know your parents will find it, disappear for a while to the library or some such, and see if they're nicer to you when you come back.
