    My parents are annoying me. A lot. They say I'm sassy, and yes, I get sassy, but only when they just make me so mad I can't control myself. They also are overprotective, and the first time I ever went somewhere without one of them tagging along was LAST FRIDAY OF THIS YEAR. I'm thirteen for Pete's sake. And then there is the constant problem of my room. It gets me in so much trouble, and not all of it is mine. My mom just HAD to come and clean out my cabinet thingie. And now there are clothes and things from when I was younger strewn across my floor. And she told me to put them all neatly. Well, I tried that once, and it all just dumped over. And sometimes I get grounded over pointless things. Like homework and assignments. If I don't do my assignments/homework, or don't turn them in, or don't get all the problems right on my homework, (my dad insists on checking it) I will get grounded. For at least a day. I mean, really? I just can't stand it when they do things like this to me. Sometimes I have a love-hate relationship with school. I like it because its hours away from things that make me angry, and hate it because its school. And every time I finally do something right, either I do or they do something that just flips it all around and it becomes all stressful for me. My mom says my behavior and my brother stress her out. Well, mom, do you ever actually pay any attention to how much you might be stressing me out? And schoolwork. My dad gets angry (sometimes) at me for saying I don't understand something. Like dilations. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing. And even though he explains it, I sometimes just can't get it unless he shows it to me. I just am done. I hate it. I just do. I can't help it. The things they do are annoying and piss me off. Don't get me wrong, I love them and all, but sometimes I just want a break. And my brother is a frigging tattletale who almost always gets his way, and gets newer things. Example: He got a frigging Windows 8 laptop, while I still have the old Windows 7 one that's slow and two years old. He has a tablet, and I don't. I know that sounds selfish, but some of the stupidest things bother me. Sorry for ranting.

    Sounds like a common case of clingy parents. If you feel strongly that you want some freedom and privacy, sit them down one night when you're brother is not in the room, and discuss it to them. Sassiness and a need for privacy/freedom is actually hormonal, which is involuntary. They need to know this.


    But, and this is harsh for your own good, some of this treatment seems to be your, and only your, fault. Your parents and specifically mother has alot to get through, and if she works that builds up a lot of stress. Try cleaning up your room, hanging stuff neatly, maybe do some vacuuming and make it spotless. While your at it, offer to clean other rooms. Help with laundry or the dishes. At 13, and I'm not saying you arn't already doing this, you should be taking responsibility for your share of the house.


    Try it.
