I'm a good kid, but my parents point out my every flaw, how do i make them happy?
my heart goes out to you. i am a parent and i find myself yelling at my son way too often. i kick myself for it. we as parents forget that kids need a heck of a lot more positive affirmations than reprimanding. if i were you i'd sit down with one at a time or both of them and ask them what you are doing right, what do they appreciate about you. tell them you need to hear positive things because it seems like all you hear from them is what you are doing wrong and that you realize when you do something wrong and could they please give you the respect to be a adult and deal with your problems without their putting you down for them. also point out how you have always tried to please them and make them happy. truly you are an adult and they need to find a better way of communicating with you. it sounds like they are still treating you like a child who has no understanding. maybe tell them, i'm an adult now, can we talk like mature adults about whatever it is that is bothering you? i think if you keep saying things like this to them, eventually they will start treating you with more respect like the adult that you are.
