I always fight with my parents for stupid reasons like food, using computer, using the air conditioner etc. When I prove they are wrong, they yell and shout at me and say that I misbehave! Then, I become extremely aggressive by throwing things everywhere: pillows, blankets, remotes… are all on the floor or broken, I cannot control my anger; sometimes, my father tries to beat me but luckily I run fast to my room and lock myself up to avoid the fight…
When I’m alone in my room, I just want to commit suicide, I just want to write a farewell letter and say goodbye to my friends… I’m suffering from depression, stress and anxiety because of living with my parents. They are unreasonable.
This early morning, I’ve just talked to a trusted friend in class, she told me to ignore them since they are unreasonable. She also told me not to commit suicide: imagine the reactions of other classmates and the teachers when they hear that I die… And I cried when she said that; I couldn’t even imagine that scenario… She suggested me to have a talk with a school counselor, she would go with me if I wanted to. She encouraged me a lot.
But still, everyday living with my parents is like living in jail, I don’t know if I can be strong and move on or not, it just hurts me emotionally and psychologically.

Starting “fights” about things that THEY pay/provide for is wrong … doesn’t matter if you want them or how they choose to ration them. Until you are providing those things, you don’t get to choose how they are used. the more you honor their rules and respect and appreciate the things they provide, the more they will give you and let you do what you want. BUT – like everything in this world, it all comes down to money – and the only have so much of it and times are tight – they are trying to each you to value the things they provide.
bottom line – they don’t HAVE to be “reasonable” – they pay the bills, when you are paying, THEN you can call the shots and make demands.
Look around you and start counting all the things in your room (including the room itself) that your parents have provided and/or paid for and imagine if it was all gone – parenting does NOT require them to give you all that, they are only required by law to provide just the bare minimum for your survival, security and nutritional needs.
Parents are EASY to please – all you have to do respect them (even if you don’t) and appreciate what they provide and know that IF they could, they’d give you the moon
jailhouse dawg
Don’t start fights with your parents. They provide you with a house and food and clothes so why treat them with cruelty? They might not be “perfect parents” but you are their child they don’t have to spoil you. Find some other way to let out your anger. Go running or go workout or punch a PUNCHING BAG not the WALLS!
Your parents don’t sound unreasonable. You threw a fit and broke stuff, your dad was going to SPANK you not BEAT you. You probably deserve it considering all the things you said you broke.
Dont commit suicide over this. It not worth it to end your life when you can fix this. Talk to your counselor and find out how you can productively let out your anger and you should say sorry to your parents. Fierce Love<3
Please don’t tell a school counselor. The counselor will not help you at all, possibly make things worse. I know it did for me. All that the counselor will do is call your parents and alot of other people (school police, school nurse, ECT,) It won’t help unless you want your parents to know. The best thing to do is call or chat with the suicide lifeline(: hope I helped
