about something I want to do, my parents disapprove of it and we get into a lot
of disagreements. Whenever I do stuff with my mom and I talk to her, we end up getting into little arguments. And also, whenever for
example, that I try to succeed in school or other things, my parents don't
support me and they sometimes tear me down, and that doesn't help me to achieve the tasks I'm doing. I feel that my parents only care about making themselves
happy and they don't care if I'm sad or angry. They also think that when I go
to college, I won't be able to handle myself and couldn't adjust to living in
another state.</span></p>

today. It sounds like you are really struggling with gaining a bit of
individual freedom from your parents at this time. What types of things
do you want to do that your parents are against or disapprove? Little arguments are
pretty normal as teen start to move away from the family. Believe it or
not, it may also be difficult for your parents to have you grow up and leave
home. If you are the oldest child and the first to leave, they want you
to be safe. If you are the youngest and last to leave home – again, they
want you to be safe.</span></p>
