How often should a teenager go shopping?

I got family problems.........please help me?

  • Ok so my nine year old sister always seems to get what she wants and obviously my mum prefers her which is totally unfair. My mum never shouts with her and she always blames me when we fight. This thing is really bugging me and I just don't know what to do.I don't want anything I just want my mum to treat us both equal. And I also want my mum to know that I'm not just a lazy teenager who does nothing exept sleep, watch tv, go shopping and go out.I work hard at school and most of the time I get good grades. Then that's how I spend my summer yes but I think I deserve it. now please help me.

  • Answer:

    I'm sorry for your problem. I'm a mother with a teenage daughter who should have been out of the house by now. She'll be 20 next year. What your mother is trying to make you understand but doesn't know how is that she wants you to learn the things that she does so that your life won't be as hard as hers is now. When I was 12 years old I was babysitting and earning money. I kept on and eventually was holding down 3 jobs at 17 years old, bought my own car and paid for my insurance. At 19, I moved out on my own. I made a life for myself, had more than my share of problems and am here now to explain that your mother loves you but is so stressed because she can't see the progress of maturity in you yet. Try writing down a list of all the things your mom does. Every one of them. Don't leave anything out. Now, imagine yourself doing all those things. When would you have time to sleep late, go shopping, or just hang out at the movies or the park with your friends. She has no life of her own anymore. It now belongs to her dependants and husband. Does she still date her husband? Maybe she doesn't feel girly anymore. Give your mom her womenhood back again for a while. She'll be a lot more understanding. By the way, your sister will reach your stage too one day and she'll go through the same thing you're going through. God bless you and good luck.

It seems like families always prefer the younger sibling. It's the same for me except it's my younger brother. I'm sorry but I tried talking and it didn't work for me; maybe it will work for you. And if it doesn't, talk to a friend about it. I'm sure they can relate.

This isn't going to be what you want to hear, but I'm going to tell you my opinion anyway. Why don't you try to help your mom around the house a little. She probably goes to work and works hard all day then comes home and has to cook and clean for her bratty teenage daughter that isn't doing anything to help. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I've been in your shoes before. When I was a teenager I didn't get along with my mom, we would fight all the time. One day I wanted to change it, so I cleaned up around the house for her without being told to do it and we had a great relationship ever since.

i went through the a similar situation. just try talking to her & explain how you feel, & if that doesn't work.. at least you tried.

talk to your mom and tell her how your felling about what she's doing with your sis tell her you want time to for you. I hope your problem resolves :)

kids feel that way sometimes and especially siblings. Better try to be friends first of all and then,,,,sisters and broithers
