Today, my friend and I got on teh computer. My sister was on first, but then when I went back to the computer, my friend was on, so I thought she let my friend on. Then my sister started saying she hates me, she wishes I would die and stuff like that. I tell her sorry, but sh esays rude things again then runs into room and starts crying. I let my friend hang out on the internet. I'm not blaming it on her, but yea. Then, my dad comes home and I start singing some song. Then, I ask my mom for some dinner cuz it was dinner time. My dad tells me to shut up and that I'm so annoying I should just die. THEN, my mom says soem rude thigns to me! I'm really upset. What the fudge did I do?!?!?! I wanna know what to do! I've already asked what did I do, but everybody told me to shut up. PLZ HELP!!!! ASAP!!!!!!!
Volleyball2150 answered Monday July 23 2007, 5:50 pm: OMG! well maybe they just think you are annoying. Try to be serious for a while. Act like a totally different person. be polite, nice, mature, etc. Like use really big vocabulary words and do something that will really make you stand out and make a statement. (so for example, start mowing the lawn, or dusting your house, cleaning up dishes etc.) I did that once in my house and my parents were soooooo confused because I wasn't myself. They asked me what was wrong because I was a new person and I said " you kept treating me like a baby, so i thought it was time to grow up! "
trust me! you'll really stand out and let them know. I know it can be hard to act mature once in a while (even if you are 13) but think of it as ACTING! don't thinik of it as changing yourself, but think of it as you are an actress and you have to pretend to be an adult for 1 day.
If nobody notices, then be like "hello? do you even notice something different about me?" if they say no, then be like "i'm starting to act more mature"
I hope everything goes great!!!!

PS: they don't 'hate' you. they are just annoyed and maybe stressed out. It helps if you are helping them out. Ask your parents what you can do to help around the house. even if it means doing extra chores. They will respect you after this. [ Volleyball2150's advice column | Ask Volleyball2150 A Question ]
