TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey! Thanks for contacting TEEN LINE. It seems like you're frustrated because your parents don't understand what you're going through. Have you tried talking to anyone else about this, like maybe a friend or any other trusted adult? It's easy to become aggravated and annoyed when parents don't listen to you. Therefore, maybe talking to someone else or even writing in a journal can help in just relieving stress and letting out your feelings. This may help to clarify what's going on in your mind. Have you ever thought of what you do like about where you live? Even if it's just one thing, maybe you could try to focus on the positive aspects of your town, it may help distract you from the things you feel negatively about. If you want to talkvmore, call us at 310-855-4673 between 6-10pm pst.
