    I don't even know where to start... It always feels like whenever something happens of whatever, it feels like I can't talk to anyone. My family, close friends, I just feel like I can't talk to them on an honest level over things lke this, I'd rather just talk to someone I don't really know. I'm always having to keep secrets from my family, from very personal secrets, to the fact that I ROM-hack, to just who I talk to on this board, things like that. It always feels like I'm not enough for my parents, like they're always unhappy with something concerning me, whether it's my choice in friends, doing one thing over another, just being me, or anyhting else that I do wrong, it just always feels like there's something that they're not satisfied with. Whenever I would like to get something over the internet (I wanted to get Sonic The Hedgehog issues #47 - 50 recently, that was one major fuck-up.), my mom gets esasperated because more is going on her VISA, although I promise to pay off everything that I influence going on it (Fuck, how is a 15-year-old supposed to have his own credit card?! I don't have a choice!). I can't talk to any of my long-distance friends over MSN, because my parents have to know everything about them, as well as their first name. I just feel like I'm trapped witth them, and they need to know everything that happens. Just 15 minutes ago, I asked about the comics I mentioned, and she became unhappy, and when I left with my shoulders [ik]down, because that meant I was going to need to work on a new way to try and get those comics (I'll have to try money-order, I guess), they [my parents] interpreted that a me laying a guilt trip on my mom, and I got hell for that (dad started in on a lecture, I tried to correct him, and was told to "shut the fuck up" because he was talking- really!) I just don't know how I'm supposed to talk to them when they are like this, because if I say anything about how I feel in relation to events like this, they go and turn things around and basically blast me about every little thing I did wrong. I just need to talk to someone, because typing this out has been a lot easier than had I tried to say it to someone.

My parents (mainly my mom) think I'm a fuck-up too. My mom gives me no chance. No matter who I'm friends with she finds a problem with them. She thinks I'm consantly gettin high, but I'm straight. She blames anything lower than an A on me being lazy. Hell, the worse class grade I've gotten in High School was a fucking 85%. My dad is cool most of the time, but even he doubts my abilities. They like two of my other brothers better. One is a jock, the other a nerd almost failing out of school 'cause he's too busy playing games. My youngest brother (3) is getting ignored in alot of ways for the two mentioned above, and I get stuck babysitting him 10+ hours a week. I can't win in my family, outside my grandma. It's a cycle of disapproval, be it about friends, politics or girls. After I finaly get with a girl I liked, my mom tries to get me to go with some friends daughter. Honestly, just deal with it. Yeah, it's a bitch but there's not much to do. It's not like I'm suffering; I still have food and luxeries, but it's just frustrating.

All right, you're in the wrong on some places.

Don't order stuff using your mom's credit card unless she lets you. Like, she says "Yeah ok, sure." Let her put in the information.

Don't complain about stuff in front of them, just shrug it off, don't do anything that could be assumed for anything.

You don't want to end up like me and telling my parents "fuck off, I'm busy."

3 years man, 3 years!

I wouldn't dream of ordering stuff witout her consent, my Mom places all the info in herself, and if she says no, then nothing happens. When it comes to stuff that could be assumed for anything though, my biggest problem is I don't ever know what will set my parents off. Although, he reason I would complain would be if I felt lie they were being vastly unfair, so I haven't ever confronted them in a long time, learning from experience.

Although 3 years might benormal, I don't know if it'll be just that... It also depends on the outcome of the techer's strike, and my post-secondary plans...

Thanks to anyone who took the time to listen to what I had to say, whether you replied or not.

Don't worry about it too much man. My parents are the same way (well just my dad, my mom is cool). Just overprotective, and don't know when they've crossed the line with privacy and letting their kid make decisions. Controlling? Maybe that's the word. They're just looking out for you, making sure you don't get yourself in trouble.. it's when they can't see that you're a good person anyway. That's when it's annoying.
You're just going to have to put up with it if talking doesn't work, much like my attitude towards my dad. You can hate it, but it's not going to change. You'll be grown up and out on your own in no time.
