I Can't Think Of A Title.

My parents are and have been like that to me. All you can do is keep going though. I HATE myself, but I am still alive and still going. I am also a loner at school even though I have 'friends'. I feel your pain. If you want to talk to me, you can, and I'll usually have advice- I see my errors (even though they were for me unavoidable).

above all remember not to be cruel to your parents even though they are expressing cruelness to you...Perhaps your parents feel guilty because they can't give you a life of luxury or a good education,a life that every parents wants to provide for their children..a prosperous life, and the only way your parents know how to express their failure toward their children is to express anger and disappointment.

WOW, its almost as if i were reading my story growing up, but let me start by saying your family is wrong, SO WRONG !! As a kid (i'm a 40 year old woman)but as a kid my mother would tell me the worst things, like i would never amount to anything, that i would be a welfare recipient with lots of kids from different fathers, and that i would live off the government for the rest of my life, that i will always be fat and that all i would attract in life would be the left over people no one else ever wanted. I was constantly told i was fat, stupid and worthless. let me just say this to you...YOU ARE WORTHY!!

i have 4 other siblings that growing up were always smarter and slender then i was. they got the praise. Today i am a average weight person, smart, great job,happy family with one spouse woman.however my 4 siblings are unhealthy, jobless, kids from different spouses etc. I knew in my heart that i was not those horrible things my mother told me i was. so when i was able to move from home, i got my own place and so my journey of greatness began. i got away from their grip and paved my life. I had to break away from their negativity so my positive life could start. I believe you can do the same, you know yourself better than anyone, its hard not to believe all that negative stuff, especially when its told to you by people that are suppose to cheer you on.It took along time for me to break away from the way they saw me, but i did it AND YOU CAN TOO !!

FUNNY THING...now that i'm old enough to know, looking at my parents, what i see are two people that are miserable with a wasted life, they never amounted to anything. Dont let their judgment of you fog your thoughts of yourself. Know deep in your heart you are and will be a spectacular person, you will succeed and you will be happy.

hey maybe u just need to loosen up a bit in life...think about positive stuff...and try to ignore the negative ones...so what if ur parents say that ur fat and stupid and lazy? if you really want to prove them wrong you show make that step and show them u are the exact opposite of the person thay say you are...dont take their comments negatively..instead make it a challenge to show them that u arent that person..:)

I didn't say they didn't love the child.

Maybe it's because I'm only 18 and don't have any children but I don't understand that way of thinking and how parents like that think their intentions can be good.

But then again, everyone's different.

it doesn't mean they don't love their child. parent's advice isn't always perfect, but at the end of the day they are only looking out for their kid. they do not do it to make him feel bad for the sake of it, i'm pretty sure the intention is to give him motivation to change things because they think that will make him happier. the thought is good, even if its not supportive.

How is calling a person fat, stupid or lazy looking out for them?

And how do you know he even needs to change his ways?

That's not a very supporting way to show your child you love them.

i think he's just looking out for you. it's not a very nice thing to say but he's trying to get you to change your ways. you don't sound very happy but remember you are the only person who can change it and at the end of the day, your parents love you and want you to be happy.
