Would You Be Proud of Me if I Were Your Child?

Question by fasdfdsl: Would you be proud of me if I were your child?
(Please read the whole article before you answer)

I really feel that my parents do not give me the credit that I deserve. They make me cry almost every night. They insult me non-stop, and criticize ever little thing that I could possibly do wrong.

But just so you understand, I am a really good kid.
– I am one of the only people I know that has never drunk or done and drugs (I am in high school) It is against my morals and I would never do that.
– The lowest grade I have ever got on any final grade has been a B+
– I hang out with really good people, we don’t party, the worst we do is go over to each other’s homes and watch movie marathons all night.
– I have two little sisters, and yeah, we fight sometimes as could be expected, but for the most part I am always looking out for them and trying to be the best big sister I can be.
– I have never even been in a real relationship, I have never even KISSED a guy before. And I am 15 years old.
– I do all the chores my parents ask me to do when they ask it.

But my parents don’t see this. They constantly harras me, over and over again. Even though they know it hurts me. An example of this would be my mom calling me fat, and telling me that my but “keeps getting bigger”. This really hurts, I am a teenage girl! I weigh 95 pounds and I am 5’4” which is very underweight. I am tempted to start starving myself because of this.
My mom also thinks that I am secretly having sex. I am not lying when I say that I have never kissed a guy before. But when ever I go over to a guy friends house with other friends, she makes sure that the parent will be with us the whole time. She has told me many times that she wont ever allow me to send photo’s on my phone because she does not trust that I “wont sent dirty photos”. This isn’t even something I would EVER have any desire to do!

My dad plays favorites. I am not his biological child, and I am also bi-racial. My two sisters are his and my moms, I am only my mom. You can imagine that I look a bit different then my two blonde sisters, I have very dark hair, and tan skin. I am not adopted, but he always shows how he favors over my two sisters, and I think that my mom does too because they look JUST like her, where I look nothing at all. It’s bad enough looking like the odd-one-out for me, but when they do this it just makes it so much worse. (For example, if I say something joking to my sister, and she laughs because she actually thinks its funny, he gets so upset that I get sent to my room for the rest of my night)

I constantly hear them making fun of the things I said durring the day, and laughing at me like I am some joke. They are letting me go on a trip with a class from my school for spring break, but they told me that the reason that was is because they don’t want to be around me.
They told me the day I turn 18, they will be laughing as they kick me out of the house. I will still be in high school when I am 18! I don’t know where I will go or what will happen to me if they do this!
Sometimes they act like everything is ok, but the next day they are right back at it. Please help me, I don’t know how to stop this cycle. It has been going on since I was 7 years old!!

My parents have even made me feel suicidal before, I don’t want this to get so serious, but they make me feel like crap. If you have any advice for me I seriously need it
What I said above, about feeling suicidal, I wouldn’t ever do it just because I know I have much to live for, however, when I am at home I feel like everything else just goes away. Just know though that I wont ever result to that.

Oh my god, sweetheart, I am so, so, so sorry. Of course, anyone would be proud if you were their child. I suggest you go to a councilor, perhaps the one at your school, to tell him/her everything you just wrote. Please, do NOT kill yourself. It may seem hopeless, but, trust me, you can do it. If I were you, I would start saving up so you can move up when you are of age. The most important thing is to tell a guidance councilor. They can help. Or report your parents to child social services. Anyhow, I wish you the best, sweetie. Please, do at least one of the above. I think there is a way to fix this.
