Parents need to take an interest in what kids find interesting. I once babysat a boy who was so interested in Minecraft and creations but his mother found it silly. When I visited, he asked if i wanted to see the Minecraft world he'd made and i heard his mother say something like "Sorry about him, he's obsessed with a silly game." But when he and I went downstairs he had some great fricking things in his world. Well designed castles and red-stone games. Yet the kid was so nervous to show me because he was told that the game was 'silly'

My dad died when I was 7. He smoked and drank and because of the smoking, I have major respiratory problems. My step dad physically abused me and my sister about four weeks ago. I went to my guidance counselor and told her about it and she called CPS and police. My mom hated me for at least two weeks. She said looking at me disgusted her. My convinced me that my step dad staying was the best option even though he doesn’t even have a job. A state attorney called me to interview me about the situation. My mom was standing a few feet away from me during the call and was telling me what to say. I had to lie. Now, my stepdad is back and I have to put up a fake smile around him even though I’ll never forgive him for what he’s done. He gave me anxiety and PTSD. He made me have anxiety every single day. My mom still thinks my PTSD and anxiety is fabricated even though we got a diagnosis from a professional. She took me to one counseling center and they said we have to wait for them to get another therapist. She says that we can wait but I’m the one who needs a therapist. During my anxiety attacks, I become a complete lunatic and can’t control myself. I start ripping fabric or scribbling on a piece of paper. Just destroying something. I’m really scared that I’ll hurt somebody or myself before we can get a therapist. My mom barely even listens to me. My older sister acts more like a parent to me than my mom.

Thanks to my Parents,
I always cry at night, I lost my confidence through everything, I gained my anxiety...
and many more...

I really thank them a lot

"Why do other kids understand these questions, and you dont?
Me: Cause their mom help them with "these questions"

To be honest, I started crying in the middle of the video after they mentioned physical contact. I remembered how much my mom pampered me and took care of me and hugged me, then I go to school and find negative students that I don't find a single bit of life, love or happiness in their eyes, like it's drained out of them completely. Parents should show their children love as much as they could.

I'm 25 and riddled with mental problems, particularly depression, social anxiety, and almost no self-respect. I even think I have a form of autism, but due to my issues I'm not mentally strong enough to go seek my own help, as if I don't "deserve" to find help because I'm bad or wrong in some way. I tried to bring this up with my dad last year, and how I need help.

He laughed it off and said I was overreacting. I cried on the drive home.

Not all abusive parents hit or yell at their children, and those obvious ones get caught and removed from their children.
The worst ones are those that ignore who their child really is and the unique things they need to do for them, and let them grow up feeling they were in the wrong for being born or developing a thought pattern in a certain way.

If they aren't making friends, or developing their skills in the correct way, take the time to find out why rather than pushing them towards the "correct path" and hope the problems go away. Even going as far as getting professional help, even if they find nothing serious is wrong you at least made the effort.
And if your child develops an innocent hobby that you don't want them doing, mine was video games which my parents hated, don't treat it like a crime. Embrace what they like, they are their own person, not a second chance for you to succeed where you personally failed.

Girl: Wheres mom?
Dad: Ask your mo-wait wut

[abbyromulus]

Me:"Mom come watch this video."
Mom:"Why?"
Me:"Just come."
(Watches video)
Mom: "Really? What you trying to tell me? Do u prefer sandal or belt?" *You better run*

When I cry, my mom doesn't even bother asking me why. She just says "Stop crying!!!" But my dad always asks me why I'm crying and I tell him and instead of telling me to go away he hugs me and kisses me on the head. So I think maybe my mom should watch this video. Mr mom doesn't even trust me at all. But my dad does. My dad drinks but its never a lot. My mom doesn't drink... but she acts like I'm not even part of the family sometimes. It takes a lot of me to go out and post all this publicly. I'm crying but don't feel bad for me. I just wanted to share this. My mom constantly grabs my chin and yells at me for crying and when my sister is mean, she's meannnn! But my mom doesn't care. She confronted my sister once!!! Once! And this has been going on for like idk ummmm 3-4 yrs? In a daily basis? My parents are divorced but I love going to my dads house. He shows that I'm a part of the family. He trusts me. He lets me be who o want to be and doesn't try to make my do this I do not want to do. I'm a gamer. My dad is a-okay with that. But my mom? She won't let me on her computer at all. I hug my dad every day. And I tell him I love him. I hug my mom sometimes. Not everyday. And I love her. I do I just wish she was would trust me and let me be me and shoe that I'm a part of the family and let me cry instead of yelling at me to stop crying. My dad does not smoke. My mom does not smoke. My dad drinks one glass every day. My mom will drink at a party, And hey mom? If your reading this? Scream at me all you want. But this? This is the truth and you know it mom. And dad? Dad this is me telling the truth. I really do love you dad. So yeah, I barely get to see my dad also.




So yeah, know you know my life. I know it's not the worst life. I'm not saying it is. But that's my life. If anyone cares.

It annoys me how people complain that kids are always glued to our devices and complain we don't go outside and play sport or something, but the problem is that my parents don't want to do anything with me, but then complain when I'm online.

I feel like killing myself whenever my parents beat me. My father slap me for small reasons and when I try to question them, they tell me that I'm leaving under their roof and they raised me up to this age and also they have the right to beat me. But how could that be a right? I don't understand

My parents also thinks that I have anger issues and always tells me to behave when all my issues started with them. They don't understand me. And they are now forcing me to get married. Because they say that's what normal Indians would do. So now I'm officially engaged to a complete stranger. They are so happy about this that I can't even say no to them. All I could do is cry

*Don't fight in front of your children.*

I can relate.
My parents have fought ever since I can remember.
When I was only 5 years old (I wasn't in school yet) my mom and dad were fighting.
I don't know what they were arguing over, but I heard my mom say that my dad was about to stab her with a pencil and nearly missed.
I also heard my dad punch a hole in the wall.
I was able to hold my tears back, but I just wish I didn't remember that because when I got in school, I couldn't help getting bad thoughts about it which led up to constant misbehaving and a urge to avoid math class, which is the only type of misbehaving I can remember. These kinds of situations at school made me wanna forget my first day at school, which is very sad.
When I was fighting with my sister, my mom told me to stop yelling and fighting and think of the neighbors and be quiet.
I told her, "Why do you make us think of the neighbors on a random occasion when you never think about _our_ emotions and self-esteem when _you_ are fighting?"
I felt no need to think about the neighbors and when my parents fight nowadays, I end up shaming my life and yelling at them to stop in order to prevent violence similar to what happened years ago.

If you are one of the 5% of parents watching this video and the 1% of parents reading this comment, I hope these true stories will make you think about your kids and their life ahead in adulthood when you are disagreeing with something your spouse is saying or doing or has said or done.

As for the 94% of children watching this video and the 5% of children reading this comment, like me, I hope you learned something about parenting when you have kids and a family someday.

Sorry this comment was long.

Childhood: parents didn’t want me to hang outside with my friends and gave me homework to do before I could play outside.
Preteen me: All my friends moved away from my place but still go to my school. I mainly stay at home and use my pc and my parents ask why I don’t go out any more

>Me: constantly draws on animal jam<
Mom:Stop playing games!
Me:But-
Mom:No buts
[ a year later ]
Me:Ok I'm back on aj again
>Me: try's to draw but can't anymore<
Me:O well, this is why I never listen to my parents.
Me:Ugh I quit -.-

That's my 2 years ago story :p

[tugaoenshanessas.]

Childhood: my mom wanted me/ forced me to study everyday. Yes even on weekends. Do my homework after I eat. Not pursuing my talents such as dancing, singing and art. I also wanted to play the piano. I was also compared to a lot of children. Especially my sister and cousins. They always wanted me to do what they wanted but never really needed or wanted to know what I really want or what I really think. I wasn't able to socialize with my neighbors. That's why I don't know anyone here in our neighborhood. I was always trapped inside the house. The never let me do anything by myself. I rarely ask for something which most of the time gets declined. Like, when I asked for guitar lessons. At first they were like, sure. Why not? But it was all a trap. They actually enrolled me for English tutorials instead of Guitar Lessons. And even tho English is not my first language (I'm a Filipino) I do speak it fluently and get high grades in that subject in school. My mother calls me a spoiled

And now that I'm 13, I'm so insecure about myself. My looks, the things I do, the things I like, heck I'm even insecure about the way I move. It's like, I can't be myself around my family fearing that they would judge me or think something bad of me. I'm sure a lot of people out there are having the same experience. I also have a hard time socializing. My parents scold me when I'm always on my phone. Saying that I should stay away from technology because they know what's good for me. But I know better. Technology is my only escape from reality. From all this pressure that my parents give me. They take away the things I love. And it's like, I'm a puppet with no strings. Like Pinocchio! I always feared being around people and talking to people that when I'm in the house, I just lick myself inside my bedroom doing whatever. My parents compare me from other kids by their likes and dislikes, talents, intelligence, appearance, attitude/personality, movements. Everything.

But people are unique because their different. We are all unique in our own way. Different ways. Weird ways. I tried telling them to put their selves in my position and their only reply would be "am I the one studying?" Or "am I the one doing this?" And it's so frustrating. You're saying this because you want them to understand what it's like to be in your place being bossed around.

But anyways,
Our difference is what makes us unique. It could be something awesome or weird. But whatever happens, there's always that someone that would accept you for who you are. He/she may not be there yet but they could be just around the corner :)

Edit: wow. This is long 😂😂😂

[doxdew]

People, especially older people, need to realize and accept that technology is what this era is all about. It may be very different from your era, but you have to embrace it and learn that this is just how society has transformed. Just because someone is staring at their computer for hours doesn't mean they're getting dumber or forgetting how to communicate outside of virtual reality. I have enriched classes and rarely ever get lower than a B, but I'm in my room for my entire day, hours and hours playing video games, watching YouTube, going online, etc. I will say that I am an awkward and shy person most of the time, but not because I'm not getting enough real social communication, it's just because of my personality since I was young. Personally, I do have a well balance. I may be in my room for 12 hours sometimes, but I still go out with my friends, visit my family a lot, etc. Heck, today I'm going shopping with my aunt and celebrating my best friend's birthday tomorrow. Technology is a positive, not a negative. It can bring people together and teach all sorts of things you could have never known.

My mom is very nice, i love to draw and she will let me do my favorite things, and i always get what i wanted, because i always study well in test, always get good grades, and my mom said if i get good grades again she will take me to a far place (well, i think so, but i dont know is it gonna happen or not) btw she will let me do anything, but she doesnt allowed me playing with dangerous stuff because i'm still young. And my mom is very nice to other people, when that time my mom and me see a grandma grabbing a wet box, and she wear a stick with her so she can walk and then my mom gave her 100 dollars (yeah, i know my mom is too nice, but its the right thing to do)
Sorry if this is too long😅
