Life really sucks right now.

Couple days ago, my mom & I got into an argument. She found out that I was ditching & I lied to her saying that I was at school &everything. Then I confessed &the only reason why I lied was that I didn't want her to get even mad. She literally tripped out & took away my phone &grounded me from the computer. Yet I can still go on whenever she's not at home. I know it was my fault that I ditched & lied but how can I talk to her to overcome our differences &make her trust me again? Should I write her a letter? I really want to move out right now. But it's only my second year of high school &that's a big no no. I don't really know what to do anymore. Staying at home makes me angry &depressed. Like there's all this tension &emoitonal stuff lerking everywhere. I just want to know your opinion on this. She's not that very understanding & if she doesn't like what she has heard, she just doesn't want to hear it at all. She trips out on the most littlest of things. I wish she was one of those parents where they didn't give a shit on what you do. All you gotta do is bring home good grades, be home at a certian time, and be healthy &safe.

What would you do if you were in my situation? Please help.

I would tell her that she doesn't understand me or even try to. And she's a failure as mother. Somehow, she'll feel bad and then maybe talk to you about it. Sorry if that's bad advice but I over-powered my parents years ago. They don't even care about me.

hmm, well..just wait it out. dont talk to her right away because she needs time to cool off. after about a month, just go up to her and be like, "mom, i need to talk to you." and explain.

everytime we argue. i always tell her that she doesn't understand me. and i said "what kind of mother are you?" when she didn't let me play badminton for iF i made the team.

You're just an idiot. YOu have to realize your a teenager. Teenagers get depressed and stupid. It happens the best of us. Don't think that you're the only one dealing with this shit. We've all got our problems and it's up to you whether it gets to you or not. Deal with it, or cry like a little baby.

You really want that much responsibility of having your own place? Trust me... When you get out into the world you're gonna be like, wow, I wish I could live back home.

You're not as emotional and depressed as you think. If you really are having a problem, then do what your mom says. She's there for a reason. To help prepare you when you're on your own.

In order to talk to her, you need to start asking. You're not a legal adult yet. She owns you whether you like it or not. Don't look at it as a bad thing, she's only there to help. When she yells at you its not because she enjoys it. Cause she loves you.

You ever think of why you slap a babies hand when they do something they shouldn't? So they wont do it again. Think of her more as a mentor, or teacher. Yeah, she's not perfect and she's gonna screw up everynow and then, but just put yourself in her position. It's a hard job trying to raise a teenager. Cut her some slack. Go to school, and your problems will be gone. Trust me. It's that simple. When you start doing what she asks she's gonna trust you more. Don't lie to her.

I'm 19 now and I've realized that when you do what your parents ask you, then they will trust you. You will have more freedom than you think. Cause you're just making it worse for yourself, but lying and not going to school. Plus think about the long run. Cutting school wont get you anywhere except on the corner of a street begging for money.

Seriously. Get your shit straight, cause you're pretty much screwing your life up.

Haha, wow, I just read the other comments and they are all bad advice. Instead of telling your parents off, comprimise. The reason she doesn't understand you is because you don't allow her to. Talk to her. Seriously. As hard as it is, it will get easier. That's what they want. If she gets mad, then she gets mad. But at least she will respect you for having balls.

And don't tell your parents that they are bad parents. Like I said before...put yourself in their shoes. It's hard.

And don't wait it out. Time to cool off? What?! No, you have to talk to her right away. It's not a boyfriend girlfriend relationship. It's a parent and a child. They are there for you anytime, whether they have to or want to.

THis isn't a one way street. YOu have to put forth to that relationship and do things that you might not want to, but guess what? Deal with it. You're still young and stupid. You don't know everything, and they know more than you. So, it would be pretty wise to listen.

Don't be stupid anymore. It just makes your life harder.
