My mom and I are really close. My dad is an idiot most of the time.

Im not sure that everyone's parents suck. Mine do, though at least. Well, my dad. My mom is amazing. My dad is just a plain jerk.

Mine seemed to suck. At the time. Sometimes they (mostly meh dad) will when I'm there for a while on vacation.

That's hardly good advice at all, doctor.

iluv, you should talk to someone about it. perhaps a teacher or adult friend? I don't know what you mean by abuse, but if it is serious, you need to get out of that situation.

Perhaps you should do something to make them notice you? Like, shave your head, burn the house down, or pretend to hang yourself?

It depends on your reasoning for believe that they "suck" Some parents do things because they're looking out for you and want you to make the right decisions and do things that aren't harmful to yourself. You have to look at it from a parents perspective every now and then. Though, there are some parents that shouldn't be parents.

You know FML, I'm really getting sick of your stupid bull****. I may have problems, but at least I don't talk about how much better I am than everyone else. I sincerely hope your father sends you off to law school instead of med school. Seriously, show some respect. Yes FML, we do appreciate our parents. But most of us have the same moto. Give respect:get respect. And apparently, a lot of us don't get respect from our parents. You are so egotistical it's not even funny. I've never seen anyone in my life with as much arrogance and imprudence. Good luck finding what you seek to know about the "middle class".

Not all parents suck, and you will rarely find parents that are excellent either. You have to take the good with the bad and hope that you get your best with what you've got. No parents are perfect and some are bad, but you get what you got and unless they do serious harm they are trying their best.

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.

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 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.
Smile I m not one of those exceptions though.
