tell them you are upset and dissappointed with yourself.

If you're not happy about your godparents, and feel they are not worth having, I suggest chuck them out of your life quietly. Don't make a hullaballoo about it -- just cancel them from your personal list of people who deserve your respect.  Pretend they don't exist for you. And if they do turn up sometime, face them calmly, and be civil towards them. \nDon't make an issue about this with your parents, unless you're starving for an irrelevant, senseless, exasperating lecture, which also you may take with equanimity.\nIt's God and your parents that really matter in your life (unless you're atheist), not godparents.

The only thing you can do is cut them off. Don't answer the phone, don't answer their emails, don't play their mind games anymore. If they insist on bringing you into their drama, tell them to take a hike for your own good. Just do it or they will continue to drive you nuts.

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!

I know I have the same prob. It makes me feel so unwanted to the point that I cry all the time, but never in front of them.I even tried ignoring them for a couple days and it works (most of the time). Look what I do is not spend time with my parents AT ALL. This way they'll want to spend time with you more and they will want you to spend time with them more.

Honey, I have been there.  I had a 7 pm curfew on weekends when I was 17 years old.  Tell your parents to trust you and if you do anything wrong, then they can take all rights away again.  You can't do no wrong until you try something.  Tell them that you are a levelheaded  responsible 16 year old and that you would like to win their trust, but you won't be able to if they keep you hidden and secluded.  Tell them you will grow up and move away.  Tell them that you will live a sheltered life and it is not good for your health.  Tell them your true feelings and make them listen.  I feel so bad for you because I was there.  Then I turned 17 and moved away from home, had my own apartment while I was a senior.  I had a full time job, gymnastics practice and school.  I did just fine and it taught me how to be mature.  I am not telling you to take off, but I am telling you to talk to  your parents because they may not understand your TRUE feelings and how you want to hurt yourself.  Just think, you will be 18 in a little bit and you will be able to begin your life the way you want and be your own boss.  Don't hurt yourself, because in all honest, it is not worth it.  Talk to the parent you are closer too!  I feel for you, I have been there.  Then I moved to FL.  I moved away so my family would realize what I meant to them and that they didn't have a hold on me.  It doesn't work for anyone, so don't runaway or anything.  I did this all as an adult okay? Let us know how it goes because I am genuinely worried about you!  Good luck!

Stop going to family events ... when they ask "why" you aren't or weren't there ... tell them you didnt' have the energy for their drama ...

Wee you need to let them know that you want to get closer. Parents tend to stay away if that is how they think you want it to be.  Try to spend more time with them. Go out to dinners, or make dinner for them.  Tell them you love them more and show respect. It may not happen right away, but it will.. Good Luck.

You both need to sit down and talk with them. Let them know what your boundaries for this are. They have to let you go at some point. And if you don't talk to them it'll make it harder. Tell them to look at it from your point of view. It's not like you'll never see them again right? You will still be close enough to visit and see still. If they can't accept that then they are not being fair to you. You will adjust to your surroundings if you truly want to be there. It's all a part of growing up. Moving on and getting used to new things.

Just dont say anything just look at them and say NO, I dont feel like playing your silly little game. Cya later. Then get up and walk(dont run) out of the room. If unable to leave the room just pick up a book and start reading. They have no control over you and connot "make" you do this. They are not teachers and you dont "have" to answer them. Stand up for yourself, If you won't no one else will either.

Sounds like someone is trying to hold you back. Ask you parents or HelpDesk for further instructions.

yeah sure it looks that way. just don't jump the gun and get mad at your mom. this could all be unavoidable. just tell her you really want to come up and for her to not make any plans to prevent your visit. If she still continues to have excuses...i dunno, try talking to your dad about it. maybe he'll talk to your mom about the way it's affecting you.

Explain to your Mom what your feelings are.  If she does not understand, just do not answer her phone calls or answer the door if she comes to visit you. \n\nYou are an adult now and have a right to set boundaries with anyone including your parents.

Don't worry, tell your parents that their constant fighting is hurting you not just emotionally, but physically.  They should understand.  Get all the help you can get from anyone that cares about you.  You don't deserve to be hurt this way.  Good luck! =)

All u can do is tell them that ur not doing anything at all. The only person u really have to be accoutable to is urself(and God,if ur religious). I know it's hard to ignore all the gossip and rumors, but that is where fresh air comes into play. It's always good to clear ur head. IF it's possible, let ur parents know where u go when ur not at home(if it won't get u in trouble). When u are out of the house, and on ur own(especially if u get hitched), that kind of gossip will stop(I assume).\n\nMy own relatives think I'm a skank(In my culture, dating isn't allowed), and my parents believe a lot of what they hear. The only advice I get from people is to go on with my life and deal with it. People who gossip are bored, and they want exitement and drama in their own lives, so ur the scapegoat. Others are miserable in their own lives and want company. I know it's hard, but try to be happy no matter what, and one day, God will see ur pain and deliver u from it. Good Luck!

If they are doing that you dont need them. Tell them how they make you feel. Stand up for yourself dont be walked on. Learn to stand on your own two feet or this will happen to you throughout your life. Good Luck!
