My Family Life is Just a Crisis. Please Help Me. . I'm a Teenager DESPERATE for advice and help.?

Well. . . okay. here's the story.


I'm 15 and I understand if my parents don't trust me because I'm in Highschool and everything. But I only did ONE thing to make them completely not trust me. But ever since then, they won't let me do anything, or go anywhere. Plus it's summer so I'm basically with them ALL the time. I'm never gone. Usually I would yell at them all the time. But lately it's like I've givin up. Plus all of this, is making me just give up on soccer. I LOVE soccer, and today I just didn't show it in the game. So I'm REALLY depressed, and it really just seems like I've givin up on my life. What do I do. . My mom used to be my BEST FRIEND, now even if I ask to go out to ice cream with friends, she says no. I have developed migranes all these past 2 months. But I don't tell them. I cannot stand living here anymore, what do I do?





Please answer, I'm desperate for some answers.


Thank You

talk to your momMy Family Life is Just a Crisis. Please Help Me. . I'm a Teenager DESPERATE for advice and help.?
I wish I had better news for you that would magically solve your problem, but you can't choose your family. In a few years you'll be on your own and you won't have to deal with them as much. Until then, try to gain their trust back. Eventually, they'll forget about what happened and let you be more independent again. If you're suffering from depression and migraines, I would definitely tell them. You might need to see a therapist and who knows, maybe the therapist will convince your parents to loosen their grip a little, especially if they're being unreasonable. Good luck and hang in there!
That sucks...I think your parents overreacted. I mean, I'd expect them to ground you for life if you snuck out of your room and stayed the night at a boy's house without anyone else around, but just because you went out for ice cream?





There's not a lot you can do. A lot of people tell you to do chores and stuff to get them to trust you, but in my experience, they just take it for granted that you're doing the chores. Your migraines are probably from the stress...I suggest you talk to your mom about it. I'm sure you have, but keep your voice low and calm and ask her how keeping you in the house is going to accomplish anything. Seriously, grounding you for a week, maybe, but for so long?





I can't help you with depression...I suggest you grow something. Taking care of something living usually works for me.
My only suggestion would be to sit down and tell you parents what you told ';us'; i mean i have a son and i wouldnt go over the edge over one friend canceling and him being with just one. As long as i was ok with them hanging out with that one.





Could it be that your parents dont like this Jon person? Or did you go out other then ice cream like you told them.


There is so many issues there and all parents expect different things.


But if you went to the ice cream place and the one friend didnt show and it was just you and the other and then home it wouldnt be a big deal.


UNLESS you told your parents the one was going which is why they let you go and with her calling and not being there yeah that looks like a lie but it may take you sitting down and telling them and even if they have to confirm it with the friend that yeah she was gonna be there but didnt.


As for the migraines it sounds like stress and the depression. I would talk to your parents and if your relationship was that good with your mom then i would go to her.
15 is a delicate age because you're finally becoming more independent. Since you and your mom used to be best friends you guys have this special bond, which your mom might feel has been altered by your newfound independence, like things aren't the same, and she might be having a hard time letting go. You need to remember that she is still your mom, and she wants the best for you, but at the same time adults still have an ego, especially when it comes to someone your age, where they won't ever admit that they're wrong even if they are. You have to be the bigger person and open up and apologize, this will get your mom's sympathy, and then you should actually listen to what she's gonna tell you.


You should also find a way to relieve stress, it's hard to do it during games, so maybe juggle the ball around, listen to some NON emotional music, some HAPPY songs, and SLEEP, because things are always better in the morning.
well what u can do is gain thier trust bak...what ever u do dont yell at them or diagree thats the worst u can do..when they explain something to u try to view it on thier point of view...so try to make them understand by saying ';mom i can understand that ur really worried about me ..but i am mature and can do the right thing..but i still need ur help though so if i made u worry am sorry and it wont happen again';...ur mom might c that u have learned a lesson..hope that helps..Depression is a common thing...do something that can calm u down when ever ur down..like find ur favorite spot,sit and think,right a jornal,listen to a song, anything that keeps ur mind of ur problems...good luck
tell your mom exactly what you did with your friend,parents that wont listen to their kids probably did something thay regret and don`t want their kids to do the same.in time it will all be forgoten,hang in thair you have a lot of life to live.dont let it get you down
Here's the deal. You did mess up because when you are young and trying to earn your parents trust, even the smallest details need to be communicated to them. I believe you that it was a last minute cancel, but that doesn't make it right for you not to tell your parents BEFORE going. Depression is a common thing for teens to deal with - especially girls and I think a lot of the feelings you are having is hormones mixed with being grounded. It will pass and get better but you will have to begin re-building your parents trust. I can see why your parents are keeping you home, and although it may seem unfair since its summer - they just need to see something from you that will show them you are trustworthy. Try talking to your Mom and tell her that you are depressed, and that you are sorry that you messed up - even though it was unintentional. Ask her what kinds of things you can do to earn her trust back. She may be willing to allow you to earn privelages back by doing extra chores or other things to prove you know you messed up and want to fix it. Patience will also help, this is on you so only you can fix the problems. Communication is key, and remember just because your mom is trying to teach you responsibility doesn't change her love for you or her being your friend.
