Hi! So I checked my mom's email because I needed to confirm something I couldn't do on my email (She doesn't care if I go on her email) and I saw this email...
It said something about a Child Development Counseler.. I looked up what it was and it said something about "Help your child's behaviour!!" ?!?!!!! I mean, they HATE me so I rarely even talk to them. The email was sent yesterday.. Do you think this email was sent automatically to random emails or she subscribed to this?!
They say "I give them a hard time". I NEVER talk to them!! Omg please help!
Let's look at a "worst-case scenario" - perhaps they are looking for a counselor for you to visit and work through some problems. If that's the case, then you're in good company. I'd bet that over half of all teenagers go to a counselor at some point in their adolescence, and those who don't probably should. I saw a counselor for two years in high school, and it helped. My brothers also both had counseling. My daughter is seeing a counselor now (she's 11), and I have no doubt that my three-year-old son will eventually spend some time in a counselor's office. It doesn't mean that you're crazy or that you're a problem child; it means that your parents think that you, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, could use a little help in coping with the stresses of life. There is no more shame in it than in seeing a medical doctor when you sprain your knee, or calling a plumber when the pipes break.
Your parents are likely concerned about you. That's a point in their favor. Believe me, you wouldn't want parents who were NOT concerned about you.
You say they HATE you. Forgive me, but that just isn't so. There do exist situations where parents genuinely hate their children, and those unfortunate children usually don't live to your age. You give very little details about what would make you say such a thing, but my guess is that they simply don't know how to relate to you. The child they raised from a baby has changed, as we all do, and it's happened very quickly from their point of view. They want to be able to understand you, and help with whatever problems you may have (and ALL twelve-year-olds have problems).
If they do ask you to see a counselor, do yourself a favor, and don't rebel against the situation. It won't do anyone any good if you refuse to go, refuse to talk to the counselor, or get angry with your parents. If your parents hated you or even if they just didn't like you, the last thing they would do is send you to a counselor who would find out about that and expose them as bad parents!
There's another good reason for keeping a cool head about this, which is that if they DO send you to see a counselor, it is possible that you and that counselor just won't get along, and you'll need to tell your parents that it's not working. If you go into the situation all pissed off and uncooperative, they'll just think you're complaining because that's all you do. But if you go in with a reasonably positive attitude, they're more likely to listen to such things.
Give your parents the benefit of the doubt. Raising a kid isn't easy, and they're probably doing the best they can. If they're not... well, seeing a counselor can probably help with that situation. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]

But if you are suspecting they're actually suscribing to sites like this in order to know how to help you,just don't panic. They must love very much. It's up to you to help THEM as well. Stop being so whimsical and hard to put up with. [ mercury's advice column | Ask mercury A Question ]

But it she did suscribe to this, don't fret over it. Atleast if this is a problem your mom wants to get you help.
