Talk to them. Let them know you are distressed and need some guidance. Try and be calm about it and state clearly what you would like to see happen. \n\nMaybe before you talk to them, sit down and write out all your thoughts on a big list. Write down everything you think even if it's negative or wrong. Just get it out of your head and in black and white. Write your feelings about your parents as people, about how you are treated, about what rules you like and don't like and any other thoughts and feelings regarding your parents. \n\nNow take at least an hour and go do something else. Come back and look at your list and put check marks by the thoughts that are really important to you. On another piece of paper, write the important issues and give and example of that. Take that with you when you talk to your parents. They'll help if you ask them for it. \n\nMost parents are doing the best they know how. Try and remember that when you talk to them.

Hi again. Apart from trying to persuade them that you want to attend this school, maybe is a good idea to find a job and contribute by yourselft to your studies, so as to cover even a part of the expenses.\nThis is what I did some years ago since my parents were not able to pay for my studies...and I did not regret at all.\nIf you want to do something, be sure that you will find a way to do it!!

Well if you're like me and my asian parents... :/ then talk to them. Give them reasons about what you want. That they shouldn't push you too much because it really doesn't help if they force you to go into something you don't want to. And you can always go into general learning first year and then go from there. I'm having the same problem right now. Sin chao.

Study more, focus in school and accept the fact that you have to work harder.  also consider asking your parents to help you get  a tutor if you have certain difficulties with some classes.   no more Internet , TV,  no cellphone.  study everyday even if you don't have a test.

do your homework!!  your parents send to you to school so you learn, and they excpect you to do what the teachers excpect you to do.

If your parents beat you, and its not just a little punishment kind of thing, you need to talk to a counselor at school and get this taken care of. You shouldn't talk in class a lot. You are there to learn. You have many hours in the day to talk after school. I know talking is fun and great, but in school, you can't. Don't give your parents a reason to be mad.

I would contact social services. You obviously have a place to stay or you would not be on here. Stay in school, they will pay or child care. Social services should have plans for you and your situation. Do not stop talking with your parents. Keep attempting to work things out with them. You may have toget a job after school. email me if you like, i am a life coach and will coach you for free. james101092@yahoo.com

Oh my God. I am just pissed off reading this! Tell your administrator (the one in charge of discipline). Then tell your administrator that your school needs the Challenge Day program in a big way. Check out www.challengeday.org.\n Good luck. I am sorry this is happening. Walk tall and try not to let it damage your self-esteem. You don't deserve this crap. Get your parents to go in and demand a solution if nothing happens.

I would seek help from your administration. Perhaps a meeting with your administrator is needed. Usually, students follow their parents lead. \n\nMost importantly, don't take it personally. One bad apple shouldn't make you get down on yourself. You are so valuable to our children's future so please don't let it get you down.

First priority is to WORK on your studies -- and HONOR That financial Commitment to your future (you sound very young -- and that means for the most part, that your parents are paying for your college and investing in YOUR future - a VERY Caring act).\n\nDO NOT go to the Clubs -- DO NOT waste time there -- there is only one occasion to go out and have fun -- that is when you have SUCCESSFULLY completed all the final exams for the courses, you go back home for the break, and ... for the most part -- you are with your family/friends and want to spend some time with them in enjoyment.\n\nOther than that -- I did see many my age (when I obtained my UGrad Degrees and Grad Degrees) who partied and ... guess what ... they NEVER finished their Advanced Education ... were failed out, and dropped out.  That is NOT what you want or your parents would want for you.

if you want we will start reporting you. then yahoo will stop you from coming here.\n\nremeber YA is here to stay but if it will affect your studies you may not afford it in future.\n\nif you do not need internet for you homework or studies try turning it off. if you live with your parents tell them about this problem and ask them to remind you to get off line and check you. your time is crusial at this stage.

What are your parents' concerns?  If you can help answer or address their concerns, then maybe they'll let you go.  Or maybe they have legitimate concerns that you have not considered.\n\nI hope you can work it out with your parents.

Wow.  I'm in the same situation. \n\nThe only things I suggest are...\n-try to be more mature: maybe they'll feel that you're more responsible and let you have a bit more freedom\n-Be nice (actually):  maybe if you do what they want (ex: good grades, homework done on time, no whining..etc) they would feel proud for you, and give you some kind of reward\n-interact with them more often:  no matter how relentlessly boring or painful this might be, getting to know your parents is a big thing.  After all, they're not going to be with you the rest of your life - they just give you the start.  If you learn what they are like, maybe they would learn more about you.  Then they might know your need for something and let you do it, for it's very important to you.  And anything important to you that is completed, would make you happy.  And parents want their kids happy.\n\nIt's a whole cycle.  \nGood luck!

As a kid myself, I see it from your side. However, make sure you realize that they just want you to realize that "lowering the expectations you have for yourself is not the right path to take." (My parents...rrr...)
