I live in a country (Turkey) were family is a very important part of life. Maybe that's why I can't even think of living without them. They are very important to me. So A.

For me it's the same.

My parents are supportive and constructive in their criticism. I love them and I love my brother. Even though we've been through some tough times with sickness and financial problems, we're still a wholesome and loving family. Arguments are a part of being a family. But I still feel very lucky being born into this specific family.

Actually it scares me how easily people use the word 'hate' (or else it's pretty scary how so many families are so full of hate). It's normal to be angry at your family at times, especially as a teenager. No matter what, be happy that your parents actually gave birth to you, no matter if they love or hate you now. They gave you the opportunity to live.

A - My family is everything to me. I love them so much, and I'm grateful for them. Even if we weren't lovey-dovey, they take care of me very well. I can't imagine having a better family <3

Absolutely A
For my parents it would be almost B, since I have some different opinions (they're strict christians, me not anymore), but I love and respect them
my older siblings as well, I really love them

If you hate your family u should probably cut the contact with them, for ur better?? -.-It's not about blood relations, those are worth nothing if your family only uses you and doesn't respect u as well...

So tell me, what's it like living in a constant haze of stupidity?

First: A. Although at times we disagree over some things, we're probably one of the most harmonious families I've ever met. I totally know my parents only have my and my sister's best interests at heart. Same goes for the rest, grandparents, aunts, uncles, their partners,...
Only about 7 years ago I found out that it's not like that in many other families.

I don't know about the situation in your country (because chances that you're from Switzerland like me are really small^^), but here, you're allowed to leave home and live by yourself at the age of 16. (and the age of maturity is 18). Here, it's the law your parents have to pay for your expenses until you have finished your education, even if you're already 18 or older. So check the law that applies in your country. You have rights! And your parents are NOT allowed to take away your money.

Also, you should try talking to someone at a youth welfare service. You certainly are not the only person with those problems.

So: Don't wait for 2 more years while being unhappy. Do something now! And talk it over with your parents. And don't do it alone, ask some grown up person you trust to support you (maybe a teacher or the parents of a good friend).

B.

I really hate them from time to time and sometimes they piss me off. Sometimes we laugh at each other, together but there are times that they just really get on my nerves

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

Occasionally I hate them, but they're family so I gotta live with it.

dysfunctional

hey, not everyone shares your view of life, that's how i think. i occasionally hate my family for that. and on top ,very ignorant. and that's the kind of people i hate the most, frustrating as it is, it's family. it's a part of you.
..until im old enough to move away.

I quite simply don't care never have and I'm sure I never will.Since I am a "part" of it now I have to abide by my responsabilites but after that .....

Maybe that's weird but hey it's my life.

in my country there isnt a law like that unfortunaly.. and i dont really have a grown-up person who i trust.

the ones i do trust are family and that really is complicated.. since the entire family is in argument over this divorce


i do not trust teachers since they are payed for acting nice and happy to help students with problems

while they dont mean anything of it. and a parent of a good friend...

i do not even trust my friends with these things
i do not wish to bother them with it

even though they notice that my family is quite 'abnormal' they keep their respect for me and almost never mention this.

but when they do mention my family.. its never positive..


i had told 3 people in total about some of my problems.

1 was my dearest friend.. who passed away 5 1/2 years ago
she knew about my brother.. she supported me throught the roughest time of my life.. and im still living thanks to her strength

1 was my teacher.. she talked with me, offered me to find a therapeut.. i rejected it since it feels to shamefull .. after that she ignored me

1 was a other friend who also had a rough situation at home.. but she dont know how bad i am with my family.. i always act like its nothing
even though she always sees through me and hugs me

but 2 years .. i just need to live on 2 years and then i am free

it feels like i am waiting to get permission to live.. while i lock myself up in my room, ignoring the fights, arguments and hoping i won't get involved in it

but i know hope is futile

B - they get on my nerves, and my parents don't seem to really care about me, but I still love them most of the time. I love my sisters, they're like my best friends. I love the rest of my family a lot - besides my parents everyone else gets an A.

B
I love my family, but because we've had a lot of abusive issues in the past it puts a strain on everyone's relationships. There are times where I can't even imagine living without my mother, but for the most part I'd rather move to another city and see them once in a while, but talk constantly without the visits It's a prime example of a love-hate family ;D

A for me when it comes to my parents.

a little in between for B and C for my brothers..
just wish my little brother learned wat respect was nd my older brother would show respect and gtfo the house already.
