I am 13 years old and I am facing problems with my family. Everyone tries to correct my mistakes and it does not end there. I always score good marks to fulfil my parents’ expectations. But their expectations never end. And when I expect anything from everyone they do not meet my expectations. My mom does not give me her time and my dad has always tried to take my mom’s place. But whenever I make any ‘mistakes’ they always take their temper out on me. And my mom takes her frustration out on me. I stay with my grandparents. But they believe that I make a mess in the house. I agree I do craft work but I don’t make a mess. They don’t let me stay alone, go alone anywhere nor do they let me access the internet when alone. My father is a doctor and he believes that staying alone will make me go crazy. Please help!
The “problems” you are facing with your family are caused by your lack of life experience. You are just 13 years old and your parents and grandparents have a much longer experience of life and its problems. Correcting your mistakes is a sign of their love and concern for you. They are right in not allowing you to “go alone anywhere” or “access the internet when alone” because there are dangers you do not know. Do not forget that your father is a doctor and knows well about human nature. What is necessary is that you should be humble, trust your family members completely and accept any corrections as signs of their love.
