Sick and tired of life.

I can't get a job. No time for that. And even if I make time for that, then they'd still be pissed as I could be studying in that time.
Drugs will send me to the gallows, where I live. Not too keen on that tbh.

Thanks for all the advice...

 

Every teen goes through this: parents want their kids to well for early retirement backup/want their child do be better then them, serve depression (which your feeling right now), suicidal. Its just a phase, and it will end soon trust me.

 

I sure wish you're right. It's become too much and it's seriously pissing me off to no end.

 

I say reason with them by telling them what you're telling us. They'll let up, even for just a little, if they know what they are driving you into.

 

I'm 16 and went through this last year. Its just a phase, play a sport/get a hobby. This is why I do 3-5 sports a year.

 

I used to feel the same with my parents but now I realize I was being a douche bag and trying to rebel all the time.

There probably not as bad as you think they are, maybe try a little harder and I'm sure they'll be proud.

And I'm not saying its bad but you have over 4,000 post count, maybe get out a little more?

Sorry if this seemed a little harsh but yeah.

 

I'm not trying to rebel? I'm just saying I'd like to live my life the way I want to.

My hardest isn't good enough for them.

I get out enough, thanks. I'm not the real outdoorsy type.

It's k.

 

Exactly. Every child thinks their parent is being too hard on them or something or other, and then when they grow up they're all "OH, my parents never helped me learn anything"

My advice, get over yourself =/. I understand the phase, went through it, yadayada. Understand that you're a separate entity from your parents, but you're not fully grown and you don't know half the shit you think you do. Take from their experiences, and grow yourself.

While your parents aren't exactly geniuses, and they probably don't know much, but they have been through most of what you'll go through in life, and that should be respected.

For kids who do drugs and shit to 'cope with something' maybe you should listen to your parents a little more (unless they're the ones who got you on drugs XD). But the only reason kids feel the need to rely on drugs is because they dismiss their teachers and refuse to learn to be an educated human being. (Not dissing drugs here, but most of you kids who decide to take that path are fucking morons.)

 

As you get older, you will get more freedom. When you're 17 or 18 your parents will stop seeing you as a child, but more as an adult, and you'll have a lot more freedom.

Buddist principle, "All life involves suffering."

You can't avoid rough times, things will get better though.

 

You, sir, think that every child is allowed to roam around as much as they want. Necro is not your everyday guy. If you think life is the same everywhere, you're wrong.

On topic: I know what it's like. I'm going through it myself. You'll have to mind these. Don't think of committing suicide, it's a coward's tool to get out of this world. Try your best to get good marks, and don't listen to all the bullshit 'Do better,' your parents throw at you. Are you bad at any subject? If you are, try to focus on that one a little more to stop your parents from bitching. It's hard, I know, but you'll enjoy life when you're older.

Good luck.

 

My parents sometimes piss me off too. But then I think someone somewhere is worse off maybe they don't have parents maybe their parents molest them everyday or maybe their don't give he littlest shit about them. You gotta conside shit like this no matter what you go through most likely someone else a going thru something 10x worse.

 

One more thing bro, I really don't wanna be harsh coz I know what it feels like to be down and stuff but seriously, I've seen you post shit like this a few times now and I very rarely browse this forum.

 

You must be looking at my old posts/spam forum posts.
Anyway, as Gurtaton said, life here is not like life in America. You can't get a job simply because you want to. The minimum age of getting a job is 18. Otherwise, your employer could be fined for child labour.

Anyway, thanks. I'll consider all the advice you guys have given me.

 

Umm.. I love you, I know I am not big on these forums, but it should count a little? You always amuse me with your avatar's and if you leave, or something happens to you, I will not have anyone to laugh with. :'(

If you can not get a job then Idk start running everyday and doing push-ups and weight lifting until you can get on the computer or do whatever else you want. That way you will always be in good health and if you stay at it then you could make some major money off it when you become 18.

I am not really good with this advice stuff but I hope this helps, pm me if you want to talk and just forget about your problems :love:

 

That helped Hmm weight lifting. Sounds a good idea. Build muscles. Yeah, I think I'll go out and buy some weights when I've got the time.
Thanks mate!

 

I dont mean to be disrespectfull I Was in your position its not as bad as your makeing out . Just deal with it theres people out there with far worse problems than yourself so please stop the Wineing and man up and deal with it .

 

For start offs why does it make a difference how long ago or what forum it was posted in, your 15 years old..at 15 years old I was the biggest douche bag for my parents now I realize that it was me and not my parents, I also do not live in America and I can still get a job even though its very low pay although I am starting a full time college course in september which will obviously take up the week but I have chosen to get a job on saturday, I then have Sunday free to hang out with friends or whatever, you clearly don't keep your mind busy enough and you let things eat at you, well atleast thats what I think happens if you don't keep your mind busy and as I'll be at college and I'll be working on saturdays that will mean I will always be active, I also go to the gym and go jogging every night to keep in good shape. Going back to the whole job thing, my parents can barely get by at the moment because of the economy, my dads business has gone to nothing pretty much and pretty much my parents have to work there asses off 24-7 to get by so don't start complaining how hard ur life is.

 

Right, but whatever kind of "free time" he has he could spend actually working hard, and then doing things like sythe

 

At 15, it's hard to make the claim that you know exactly what you want in life. There may also be more to your depression than simply routine and living up to your parents' expectations - a lot of people with depression look around for external explanations as to why they're just not happy, and what they find is often more of an excuse than a reason.

That said, I would make two suggestions.
1. When you're ready, you should see someone about depression. If your parents don't like it, get them to read a bit about the disorder, or get your brother involved if you think they'll listen to him more. Explain that depression is not unlike any medical problem, and that they need to suck up whatever imagined blow it is to their pride and deal with it, because it's just not something that will go away on its own.

2. Again, at 15, it's hard to convince your parents that you're mature enough to make your own decisions - I personally think it's too young too - but, if you feel the same way in a year or two, explain to them that life has no "correct" path: that a PhD and high-paying job just isn't going to make you happy, and it's not what you want to do with your life. Tell them, confidently, what you plan to do instead. They have to see that you're aware of the choice you're making, and that you're making it for the right reasons - and not simply rebelling against their expectations because it requires a lot of work.

 

Such as? He lives in India, in case you didn't know. The only thing you can really do there is study, act religious, get on the internet, etc. You can't get a job, hangout, date there until you're old enough. Hell, you can't even get a girlfriend 'cause most parents don't approve of them. If you wanted one, you'd have to do it secretly. If you were depressed, you'd feel the same way he is now. You wouldn't want to work or to live anymore. Try to think from his POV. He needs encouragement, not the common 'Go out, son'.

Weight lifting sounds like a good idea. You can impress the ladies when you grow up.
