I'm 16, and my parents are either always hounding me on something, or they're always telling me how I'm basically a loser in their eyes.
I've tried countless times, even with my therapist in the room to just let them know that sometimes, I do get angry because they keep up with this. We have tried to work out a compromise, but they last maybe one week.
They never payed attention to me when I was little, and I think they might be trying to make up for it possibly, now that I've grown used to not having anyone there- and I've learned to just handle myself on my own.
I basically need any kind of advice I can get for this situation, as to if its something wrong with me, or what I can do.
Please?
