Lately I've been havign mood swings with my parents that I regret but they've become worse. My parents get so made because they have really short temper sand scream at me. They say I'm stupid and I'm an idiot and a lot of other things.
My case is slightly different because my mum is from vietnam and my dad is from cambodia and my grandparents are chinese. In China, I've heard they are super strict and they slap children. I've heard of canes.....a lot. My parents keep saying 'If you do that again, I'm gonna smack you in a minute!' and they never do but it still scares me. Sometimes they do slap me or poke their finger in my temple really hard.
My parents can't take a joke. I say something that's meant to be a random comment and it turns into an argument. Once in PSHE, my form tutor said that if you want to admit you've done wrong to your parents, do it in the car so they concentrate on driving and can't do much to you but EVERYONE OF MY FIGHTS WITH MY PARENTS HAPPENS IN THE CAR. And my dad is a rough driver, beeping horns at everyone who annoys him and swearing at other drivers.
My brother does hit me when he's annoyed. Just for cliking my tongue a lot, he punched me in the stomach and I told my dad and he was just like 'You shouldn't be annoying!' My dad fusses over everything. He gets mad because I dont eat the way I want him to and when I defend myself, he goes on and on and on and sometimes I get soooo mad. He banned me from going on holiday with my sister which Im realy upset about but my sister is on my parents side.
Me and three of my friends always talk to eachother about our parents. We come to school and say whatever it is our parents have done. We even actually as a random conversation thought of ways we could've run away. We thought of tree houses, tents and even sneaking into boarding school. I think ofrunning away a lot. I know I shouldn't do it but I just want to run away and see how my parents react. If I suddenly showed up they'd probably lock me in my room so I won't do it again.
My sister who I used to love just says to my parents 'You should slap her!' My sister told me my parents used to SLAP HER SOOOO MUCH!( my sister is 26 now)
Once, my mum and I were talking about my sister not getting marreid yet and she said 'I should've just found a husband for her and forced her to marry. I'll do the same with you and slap you everyday until you do.
I just need ot get this off my chest but it never works cuz i still feel like I could have a better life. Isee all my other friendsand their parents seem relaly nice. The always say 'My parents hardly ever yell at me.' it makes me jealous and want to run away and get a new family. My family doesn't get me except my sister.
The main point is I want to have parents who get me, parents who wold get along with me, not parents where we rub along the side of our lives like stones on a beach. I know I shouldn't run away but my parents wouldn't care, would they?
