Parental Stress

Parents can also be a huge source of stress. Whether they are always there, always have an opinion, want you to do things a certain way, expect a lot from you, or don’t pay as much attention to you because of their own problems, parents can stress you out!

Try to remember that:

  • Your parents love you and want the best for you.
  • Your parents are human, and make mistakes. This may include reacting to you emotionally.
  • Your relationship with your parents is something you can work on.

If your parents are stressing you out, it’s important to let them know. Just like your relationships with friends and bfs/gfs, communication with your parents is really important as well. Parents may not realize how their actions are affecting you. Talk with them about what you’re feeling, how you would like things to be different, how they can help, and what you’re willing to do to make things better. You might find that you and your parents can come to an understanding.

Also remember that your parents can be pretty good allies if you are experiencing trouble or stress in another part of your life. It’s a parent’s job to help you and keep you safe.

What about your parents? Do they stress you out, or help you get through your problems?

I love my parents but sometimes they really get me mad and it's hard to talk to them about it because they either tell me I'm worng or get more mad. I really wish they would just understand what I go through as a teen and give me a break sometimes...:( I want them to understand...:(
