I'm soory this is so long but I'm in desprate need of help here -
I i'm 17 f - i work as a bank teller - and totally love my job - i came home from college for the weekend - and i was supposed to hang out with this kid i knew from high school- he called and canceled on me so i decided that i would go visit my friends at work for a little bit- when i got there - someone had called in sick and they asked me if i would stay - since i no longer had plans - i quicky agreed - seeing as how college is expenisve and i could use the extra cash- when i got home my parents freaked on me - saying how i only came home to work (not true ) and they said that i had lied to them about my enitre plans for the day - that i never had the intention of meeting this kid ( which i did - but only because they are obsessed with him! i'm not even good friends with him - but they wanted me to make the plans so i did - to make them happy ) anyway - long story short - they're pissed at me for working and i dont know what to do- i hate having them mad at me even though i feel like i didnt do anything wrong ... so what can i do to make things better at home?

Elcee answered Monday October 2 2006, 5:25 am: It seems strange to me that they were angry at you for earning money to help with college fees. I wonder if they had something else planned with you and were angry they couldn't see it through. If they won't listen to reason I suggest you write them a note explaining what happened and why. It may be easier than trying to explain verbally if they will not listen to you. You could say that you were only doing what you thought was best with at the time. Leave the note with a small bunch of flowers where your Mum or Dad will see it. Tell them you love them and are sorry they are angry with you. Sometimes the best intentions go drastically wrong and there is nothing we can do about it except learn from it. I wish you good luck with this. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]
