Im 13f and my family sucks. I have a spepcial ed brother and my parents think im a waist, but that's not true they just dont understand why i do things even though i do. I never talk to them and when i don't they get pissed off at me. I try so hard to makes things work between us, but they always seem to drag it back to my brother, but he's not the problem. I love my brother with all my heart, but the thing that scares me is that i sometimes flat out hate my parents. I know they try to help[ by sending me to shrink after shrink but what they dont understand is that nobody can fix this other than us. Another thing is my parents sometimes lie to the shrinks and i dont want to say anything cuz i don't want to get hit. My parents have "hit" me before, but it didnt really hurt and they have really bad tempers. I want to tell them this, but I don't want them to get pissed off. PLEASE HELP.

But you need to tell her that you are in trouble! And you get into more trouble for teloling them what happens, your therapist can keep you safe, you need to tell her how scared you are. A therapist can't just help you, you're right, they can't fix this, but they can be help by telling them whats happening. They are there for you, so please do not let this go on, and it doesn't matter if its a "didn't really hurt" hit, they are hitting you out of anger, you do not deserve this. Please, I am willing to help you through this, just please inbox me or do what I am asking you, you are a 13 year old girl that sounds really down, and you don't deserve to feel this anymore. Please let me help you.

communication problems i think. i think you ought to talk to your parents in a polite way, create conversation and don't shut yourself in your room. when you don't communicate they don't KNOW what is going on in your mind.. try to tell them how you feel about your brother and don't antagonize your parents because you know them and how they will react. If you think that your parents don't understand you, you also have to remember that it has been a long time since they were your age, but they probably have more in common with you than you think. About your parents lying to the shrinks, honestly, there is nothing you can do about it, adults will be adults, but think about it from their point of view.. they have a thirteen year old daughter who is now a teenager and going through hormonal changes and they are probably afraid of it. if you make an effort to be their friend, I am almost posative that they will begin to respect you more and changes will happen.
