as the question stated, how many of you think your parents understand you or know you well enough.

my parents think that by buying me things they can bridge the gap between us... they dont spend time with me they dunno what i want

Think about orphan.

they dont get to think... i am talking bout a complete family here...its more depressing to see your parents not spending enough time with you than being in the orphanage where you know you CANT have parents... dunno how to put it in words...

I heard a similar story before. The girl drives BMW, wears rolex. And keep complaining about their parents.
What I can say is, don‘t feel depress about it. Maybe your parents busy with working to earn more money to make sure the family member has good life (now and future). When you grow elder maybe you can understand about this. You should be satisfied with what you have now. If you're studying, just make sure you don't fail your study. Some people might has more serious family problem compare to you. Like their parents quarrel all the time, parents divorce, parents like to gamble. What would they feel?
If you have time to feel sad, you can find some other meaningful things to do.

I hope my parents are rich enugh that they just hire workers to do their jobs while they can stay at home and teman us...

the thing is..they are not rich enough and they are teachers and u do know how Teachers care about kids and stuffs~

lol...jaroque you are in my shoes atm...mum also a teacher... sigh...both parents work until evening...problem is how they communicate with me lar...we always quarrel/argue... that happends 99% of the days and i am sick of it... i am a very straightforward guy as they regard that as "rude".. just so tired...dunno how to talk to them anymore...we ONLY talk about things that i need such as paying fees, informing them i am gonig out etc etc... then MOST of the time will lead to argument in the end.... just dont feel like talking at home...

then move out from the home lor, when u reach college age... meeting too much will cause more conflicts, while less seeing each other will improve the relationships better

My parents never think that buying me things can bridge the gap between us. They always want me to follow what they say.

IMHO TS is just emo.

no... even i dont understand myself XD

my mum don even wanna communicate with me even when i start first... half a decade we din chat

thats bad...feel sorry for you..continue voting peeps...

sorry it should be continue voting, peeps...

emo ....... talk about stuff like your day
anything out of the ordinary happened...

or do u feel awkward talking hmph . then that's serious problem

quit complaining. they brought you here for god sake.

if you're not happy with how you parent's level of understanding in you, why don't you be the one who make the first move by talking this to them.

For offenders, we know that TS is emo but there is no need to repeat again and again.

orenzai, there will always be argument and misunderstanding during the attempt to interact with someone. It does not occur only to your parents but goes same to your friends, neighbours or even strangers. What you can do to reduce unpleasant experience with them is to control your anger. All of us have rich emotions but a small courtesy to withdraw your ferocious tone helps a lot.
