I used have doubts about what I was going to do once I reach 18, but now I know! I want to leave this palce behind!

 

My parents can't let me gasp for air for a minute. They want me to study 24/7... Like, I leave school 5 PM, then I got 30 minutes break at home and then around 6PM I gotta study until bed time non-stopping. I can't go to my PC or play games! And, they think that ALL I firetrucking do on the Computer is playing games that destroy my brain! What the hell?! What about the search I do, the videos I make, the chat I have with people? 

 

My father also spends the whole day downloading crazy amounts of stuff, making my internet super weak, making me reach 8.000 ping whille playing games that require internet, which is an unbearable lag. And when I have to some reaserach for a school work, I can't even google anything.

 

They are constatly yelling at me with no reason, especially about school. I can study all of those hours and yet I still get bad grades no matter what I do.

 

I just want to run away, sometimes...

 

I don't have the freedom to do or go where I want.. I can't argue with them in any way, even when I'm right.

 

When everything goes wrong with me towards the smallest thing, they don't care. Especially my father, especially when it comes to electonic/internet stuff. Like, I made him order a game for me and it still hasn't arrived and even though he spent 30€ on it, he won't contact the Costumer Service because it isn't something for HIM and because it's game that will make me go blind

 

I'm sick of this life...

I wish you the best of luck in this difficult time.

I feel your pain, my parents are the same when it comes to technology

I really don't know what to say..... I just wish you luck with this and pray to God (if you believe in him) pray to God for help and advice, he will give you an answer when the time is right

Well , I can't really give you any good advice but I can only wish you luck .

Fool. Stop whining when you don't actually have it rough.

I feel your pain, my parents get under my skin all the time. You say that you can't argue with them even when you're right, but you should argue anyway. Like you said, you're 18 (if you're not yet, you're probably close to it) you're not a kid anymore, if you have something to say to them, you have a right to say it.

 

Actually trying to start an agreement may not sound like the brightest of ideas, but sometimes that's how problems like this are solved, if you somehow managed to compromised with them, thats great, but by the sounds of your dad, might not happen. Try to talk to them about this first and see if they'll listen

if you feel this way than i think you should tell them. talk with them about it. you may be a kid but your a human being and you have the right to tell them whats up. i dont think you should go too far with it becouse that would make your relationship worse but keep going untill you think youve made your point. but at the same time try not to make them too mad. if it persists then try to bear with it until your 18 and move out. im sorry i dont have groundbreaking advice. i wish you good luck.

Im sorry. I understand to some extent.

Welp, if your parents want you to study, it's because they want you to have a life with no worries.

Many parents want their children to have a good job, so they won't go through difficulties.

 

With the economical crisis everywhere, it's hard to get a stable job (believe me), and people should take advantage of all they think they have for granted.

 

Don't throw away your studies because of gaming and such, because you might regret it later. Your parents want what's best for you

Well I know what it is to have harsh parents, it's hard when you are doing your best and they always keep treating as a child. Beside, since you're almost at the age of 18 I think they are afraid you may move out, or leave them behind, thats maybe why they're trying to keep you the closest they can. When that time came to me, the first thing I did was to prove my mom that I was capable of managing studies and my personal live all by myself. Right now they trust me 100% and gave me freedom enough to move into another town and live by myself ( even if they're the ones who pay me college).

 

The best thing you can do is prove them that they're wrong in pushing you too much because you work in a slow pace, but you need to show some results, nobody's saying to have perfects scores, just prove that you have something you really like and that you are good at and they're gonna trust you more, after that you'll start to have some freedom, BELIEVE.

Hey, I feel for you. The only problems I suffer with my parents is studies as well. My parents also think the same thing: that I'm always playing games. If you get bad grades even though you study, it doesn't mean that you haven't studied.Something all parents would need to get through their mind, if they think like that. Best thing to do is to find out the cause of your bad grades. It could be that your study technique is not working out for you, but I see in your case it's stress. It is likely that it could be both. Once you see and fix your problem, prove your parents wrong by bringing home As and Bs. I hope I helped and I wish you luck.
