anytime anything happens in our family, my sister and I get yelled at. Our parents are always telling us we are disrespectfull when all we EVER do is talk to them in respectfull tones and we NEVEr say anything rude! all they do is mimic us with rude tones or scream at us for no reason. Today i found out my dad smokes from my best friends father, when i ask him about it he yells at me saying to stay out of his f****ng life or im grounded, now im in myroom because my father smokes, he also had the decency to tell Me that my life is messed up. He constantly puts us down and tells us we are all basically crap and mean nothing to him, but then whenever anything comes down on him he calls us disrespectufl and threatens us. is this just the way all parents are? Do all parents scream and throw (yes i mean throw) you in your room? i am 15 almost 16 and i am grounded from going out of the house untill i get a job, its the middle of summer and i have applied everywhere in my town, even places that arent hiring. I look way younger than most people and I also have no experiance? i dont find this family fair at all! what am i supossed to do!??!!
(PS i am a girl and i am my fathers only child, my sister is my step sister and my step mother always lies about anything that happens in the house while he is at work)

If there is no family member that you can trust or turn to for help then you have one other place you can turn to for help. I realize school is out for the summer; even so either the Principal or the Assistant Principal must be in the school. Go to the school and talk to one of them. Tell them what you have written to us. They will know what to do and by law they must take action to protect you.
As youngmommy said; not all families are this way. Most likely there are some problems between your dad and step-mom and they are taking them out on you and your step-sister. This is absolutely not right and their problems are not yours.

What they are doing to you is called abuse and you donot have to stand for that. You need to talk to your father and tell him that you mean no disrespect but you are hurt by the way he treats you and if things do not approve than you need to talk to another family memeber who is an adult and will understand you and tell them what is going on in you home and ask for help good luck sweetie and best wishes to you and your sister [ YoungMommy's advice column | Ask YoungMommy A Question ]
