Question Posted Wednesday February 15 2006, 6:25 pm
My family doesnt care if I am starting to do real good in school that i have been coming home every night and that i have been usualy calling them telling them where i am going!
Im not doing anything bad no drugs no alchohal or anything!
My family always puts my down.. my sister came N my room went through everything nd ripped up things she gave me. My dad calls me at a friends yelling at me saying I didnt tell them where I was going BUT I DID.
My dad tells me im still doing drugs nd going out drinking like every day but im not! and how can I be if im usualy always home because they dont let me do anything!
I dont even want to bother talking to them because they always put me down or yell at me and tell me everything thats wrong with me but NEVER anything positive.
My sister wrote on a peice of toilet paper saying "I dont give to people that steal. I DONT feel sorry for you." I Havent even taken anything fomr her in 2 months because I have changed my old bad ways..
WHat should I do! IM tired of being treated like this!

I am not saying it is right or wrong, but it is human nature. If you know you are doing well, be proud of yourself. Make your self a poster with some positive affermations written on it and hang it where you will see it every day. Memorize some of the affermations and soon you will start to feel them. If you start to feel and think positive about yourself, you will present yourself in a better way to others and with time they might come around. If after a couple of months you don't notice any improvement, join a church group or other positive organization where you will be appreciated. This will further boost your self image and bring about good energy in your life.
If you do a google for positive affirmations you will find many sites.
Here's some examples of what I suggest to put on your poster.
I am worthy of being loved.
I am a nice person.
I am good at ( )
