I can't ever get along with my family. Everything is always a problem. They never stop yelling at me. It seems like I can't do anything right, and they won't listen to what I have to say. How can I make them listen to my side of the story?

OcherryfaerieO answered Thursday October 14 2004, 2:48 pm: Well first of all you may want to ask yourself if you are listening to their side of the story. Try to understand where your parents are comming from. If you start tuning into what they are saying maybe the will be more willing to listen to your thoughts and feelings. When talking to your family try to avoid yelling at all costs. If they start yelling at you, still try to speak calmly and at a normal tone. If you are fighting with your parents just ask them to listen to your side of the story without interupting and then ask them to respond. Don't however expect them to do this if you are in a yelling competiotion or if you dont do the same for them. All in all my advice would be to ask your family to listen to you (but you have to do the same for them), stay calm, and try not to yell (Even if they are). Problems with family is inevitable, because you spend so much time around them, but with a little work and some respect, things can be less hurtful. The best of luck to you, and if you need help with anything else or more spefic family problems, just ask me or feel free to AIM me at CherryGirlie007!
