You know Voice, I don't really think it's fair to say that we have it easy when you don't know anything about our lives or parents. I don't mean to be rude, but seriously. You have no idea what some of us have been through in order to have our parents hate us or us them. I'm really sorry you have family problems, but the rest of us have serious issues at home too. We just choose not to discuss them.

Alright, you guys are lucky.

I'm not trying to get on everybody's nerves or seem like I'm doing the whole "self-pity" thing, but y'all are lucky.

My Daddy is an alcoholic, which ahs made him physical a couple times and always VERY verbal (if you know what I mean) and is a porn addict.

He and my mom have both left a bunch of times, but he's the worse. He cut off our electricity (because he knows my mom hates it when that happens) stole her credit cards and eventually came crawling back and hid in our basement for a day.

Then, there's my Mom. She throws temper tantrums, favors my little sister (because she was the youngest) and swears I am never trying hard enough. She also is pleased to tell me multiple times a day that I need to stop eating so much. Plus, she's always getting mad ta me for "letting my father drink while she was gone" as if I didn't have homework or as if I could stop him in the first place. But, she's much easier to deal with. Up until the last bit, those are all just normal teenager problems.

I love them to bits, but they fight CONSTANTLY, and I wonder if a divorce wouldn't just be the easiest thing to do at this point. The scary thing, is that my dad is a high-school teacher, and is around teenage girls everyday, so I wonder, since he goes on MY web account to do all his porn searches and most are teen ones, what he's thinking when he's there.

So, basically, be glad your parents aren't in a broken home situation. Mine is tearing at the seams and I really can't see any point in trying to fix it anymore.

I love my parents and i dont know what i would do without them...this is a stupid thread. Remember what the 10 commandments say: Honor thy parents....

My parents are great. They trust me completely because I've have not given them any reason to do otherwise. They know when to give me space, but we really get along great.

eh, my parents suck too, but i have a friend, and her mom is freaking awesome! I mean she understands and u can talk to her about anything, she can think like a teenager but shes god the mind of a genius, so no, i dont think ALL parents suck, just a majority.

Eh. My parents hate me, therefore, we don't converse. However, not all parents suck. My mom was great until she saw my tattoo. That wasn't a nice conversation.

Good luck with that though.

Mine suck soooo much!!!! I hate them. I don't even want to be in the same room as them. They won't let me do anything!! They also lose faith in me, which sucks, because, they think i won't do good. But in actuallity, I will!
The only time I like my parents is when they let me do stuff, and when they buy me things.

mine do, but then again they hate me and i hate them so it's all good. i'll prolly be out of the house by next year anyways. most parents suck in there kids eyes, except there are rare exceptions when kids are thankful for their parents.
I m not one of those exceptions though.

laters~~~~§love is never destroyed§

my parents are no exception. I love them to bits but they drive.me.up.the.wall.!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope everything turns out ok. I hate family rows.

People have different opinions of what good and bad parents are. Some kids think that if their parents won't let them use the car of a Friday night makes them horrible parents. Others know that a bad parent is one who abuses their kids, whether it be emotionally, physically, or sexually.

I only have a mom. My father died when I was 10. I don't regret the time I had with him, because I spent 99% loving him, and not being a snotty brat that hates her parents when they don't give her something she wants, not that I'm saying that you are.

Most of em do!

whoa. I understand moms and dads can put a damper on your plans. But maybe you just are looking at things all wrong. I mean maybe u havent proven your worthy of trust yet. Im not downing u, I've been there before. I used to think I had the most over-protective parents in the world....My Mom told me a story about her past that I never knew about before and it helped me nderstand where she was coming from. So, my advice is pick ur battles wisely because some things are NOT worth the strife. hope that helps : )

My parents are divorced so im livin with my mom. She never gets on my nerves or nags me about certain things. The only time i can say she sucks is when she doesnt let me go certain places...and she hardly does that.
I can never say that my dad sucks because she lets me do whatever i want!

only the ones that care.



and truely evil ones LIKE MINE. grr... lol

I would give my mom "a good run for her worries" but i live so far from anywhere that i cant really go anywhere and most of my neighbors are family so i cant go there either. But, I do have a good friend who can drive an offered to take me places and im thinkin bout takin him up on his offer......I'd rather be w/ my friends too, but who wouldnt?
it hasn't been that long...i get bored on here and leave for like a month then come back for a while-on and off again.

i just had a huge blow up with my mum..she wants me to go places with her when i'd rather be with my friends..

Well I understand how you could think your parents suck. My parents are very controlling and have to know where I am when and why and with who always. They don't let me curse or dress provocitavly or see certain movies. And I know I hate it. But I also know that it's for my good. I see the way some people act and dress. I know what they do that their parents don't know. I have a friend who's parents ask no questions and let her do as she pleases. And her choices are horrible! Sometimes my parents being controlling pisses me off but I'm happy that at least they care enough to worry.

"I dont care I can't do anything else about it"

If I may make a suggestion, have you tried being completely angelic for a week or so and then asking nicely to go out for an afternoon movie (or whatever people in your area do) with a group of friends? I'm sorry if I came off as 13itchy, it's just that when kids complain about their parents being "sucky" it's usually 50% of the kid's fault as well. And it annoys me because my friends have it so bad, and people don't know how lucky they are. Sorry again.
