I don't know whats wrong with me, i get mad so quickly but only when im with family or the people im more comfortable with, it seems like my mom and dad are never happy with anything that i accomplish, i just want my dad to pay more attention to me, but he's always siding with his girlfriend on everything and it makes me feel like shes more important, i get mad sometimes and slam my hands down on somethin and have even broke a few things (not of great value) i just wanna know what i can do besides count to 10 cause i just get even more mad by the end of that.
Or the other solution which is thinking out of the box but became friends with his girlfriend. Then when he starts to choose sides she'll stand up for you. That way he can't choose sides.
And as far as you mom and dad never being happy with what you accomplish don't worry about that they never will. You could do everything perfect exactly how they wanted you to be and there would still be something wrong with it, because it's not about you. It is something they are not dealing with in their own lives that is causing them to be unhappy with theirs

Try punching a pillow or something [be careful of the fluffy stuff thoguh] or ask your parents if they're willing to invest in a punching bag for you. Don't punch walls! My friend did it and it left a hole.. he didn't even mean to hit that hard.
Talk to your dad and explain to him that you just want him to pay attention to you. If you've already tried talking to him, and that doesn't work, try asking him to just hang out with you or something, just so you guys can get closer and he will actually listen to you.
