15/f. I dislike my dad and mom. I have nothing for them, nothing against them. I don't feel anything for them. They're like nobody to me. They don't ignore me or abuse me or anything. But I can't bring myself to say "I love you guys." Because I know I'll be bullshitting everyone. I also dislike my sister. My parents get me stuff I want, and they treat me like other parents treat their daughter. But I strongly dislike them. I love being alone, untouched, in my own room. Or instead, out of the house and away from them. I hate being involved with them. And my other relatives live in another country. I don't talk with my parents, and I don't need their advice. I don't confide in them. What can I do?
Any advice? :/
Additional info, added Sunday October 21 2007, 2:25 pm: Also...sometimes I feel bad for like being ignorant towards them. And my opinion CAN change. What the hell is wrong with me?.

JRose answered Monday October 22 2007, 1:25 am: You know what, I am just like that wih my mom. I really dislike her somtimes but I love her but I just can't bring myself to tell her that. I don't think thats there's somthing wrong with you because hey, we are teenager so we all get to that point where we dislike our parents because we feel like they have control over everything we do or always get in the way of our plans. But I guess when we get older then we will learn to appreciate our parents when we finally get lives of our own that we are in control of. So until then i don't think its anything unormal just something we all go through as teenagers. [ JRose's advice column | Ask JRose A Question ]
Helpful answered Sunday October 21 2007, 8:43 pm: Well, It's easy to lose touch and draw away from those that you come into contact with most. And it's not wierd, by any means, to feel this way at 15. But don't you WANT to be able to tell them that you love them? One simple way to do this is to do things for them without being asked- set the table or do your own laundry. Something like that will help you appreciate all that they do for you and help you realize that whether you love them or not, they love you. [ Helpful's advice column | Ask Helpful A Question ]
safa answered Sunday October 21 2007, 8:01 pm: family sucks sometimes but, thats all you have. family is forever. you can't change who your parents are or who your sister is. plus, you're gonna be stuck with them for the next couple of years so i say quit waisting your time hating them because its not getting you anywhere. All your doing right now is dwelling on the fact that your parents love you (sounds terrible). the problem here is not your family, its you...why dont you take one of those minutes your using to hate your family and figure out why youre really pissed off.

falalalakimmy answered Sunday October 21 2007, 6:15 pm: I think you should try to spend time with them, i mean....their your parents dude! try saying "Hey ma, wanna go ________ with me?"
Anything to get you guys to talk, i think parents are a big deal in someones life, and i know mine are really important to me. I know, im a loser, lol. But they are. Tell me how that goes for you!! [ falalalakimmy's advice column | Ask falalalakimmy A Question ]
CAdreamin answered Sunday October 21 2007, 5:20 pm: Considering the fact that you are 15...I would say that how you feel along with your actions are fairly normal for a teen...Now if you had said that you wanted to harm your parents or anyone in your family..then I would say to get help ASAP...but if what you are feeling is just not wanting to be around them as much etc..I say it's a "teen phase" [ CAdreamin's advice column | Ask CAdreamin A Question ]
casiababyy answered Sunday October 21 2007, 4:14 pm: Your unappreciative. period. I love how your saying your parents do everything for you and they treat you right and you still hate them. Your crazy, and you need some help. Think of the poeple who dont have parents, who dont have someone to love them. Your parents love you unconditionally, no questions asked.

missbananafontana answered Sunday October 21 2007, 4:02 pm: You're just antisocial and unappreciative. Your parents and siblings love you, and you just don't love them. Have you read the book "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane"? If you haven't,... well, read it. Think about the kids in Africa, who've lost their parents to AIDS, and would do anything to just have a warm home with someone who loves them. Warm up, unappreciative wench.
