Im starting to think my parents hate me :( because .....?

I have a 13 year old daughter. Neither my husband or I would ever barge in on her naked, nor would I read her mail or email or texts.......although I do keep an eye on who she chats to, the contents of her conversations are private. Frankly, I find your parents behaviour distressing, talk to your school counsellor about it and see if you can get some help, the way your parents are treating you borders on abusive.

You are really dealing with some difficult feelings at times....make sure you monitor your own frustrations. Understanding parents and why they act they way they do--is sometimes mysterious! It may help you to sit down at a neutral time and talk to them.

Share your feelings and really let them know that at your age they need to be helping you with these skills: independent living, making good decisions, problem solving, goal setting, getting along with others, following rules, etc. Those are skills that we all use each day--and share with them, that you are making plans for your future and as they are in the parental role, you do respect their opinion (you may not agree, but you can respect!) and feel you need some guidance right now in your life. Yes, it does seem like your parents are checking up on you--but it also sounds as if you have lost some trust with them, and therefore, resulting in their need to be 'over protective'. If you feel you can, ask them what you can do to make sure they feel they do not need to act this way anymore.

Please know that it may help to talk to someone. You can call the Boys Town National Hotline 1-800-448-3000. We have counselors available 24/7 and we talk to kids/teens and parents all the time about various issues.

Take care and when you get the chance, let us know how you are doing! Counselor KJ.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
