I've decided to make a guide to help teenagers all around the world to cope with well...everything! From homework, parents, friends etc etc. These tips are based from my own experiences with THE family from hell! (at least to me anyway...) I really hope this guide can bring some help to teenagers out there... it helped me quite a lot! ^-^ I pretty much make these tips as I go around suffering in life. So just a friendly warning: These tips might not work in YOUR life!!! I am 100% not responsible for anything when you use these tips!!! I think that's all for now...
Tips on Coping with Parents:
- Never tell your parents ANYTHING until it's official!
- When parents start yelling, pay close attention! If they want you to stop reading novels, and it just soooo happens you're reading one that's really exciting...HIDE IT! (Preferably in your school bag.)
- Make a secret pocket by sewing the bottom of your old t-shirt and hang it in your closet. You can hide small, thin and illegal things in it!
- For bigger stuff, you can just leave it outside...but pay close attention to it! (Parents normally wouldn't destroy big expensive things...because it's their money! Unless your parents are destructive types...)
- ALWAYS have a tape recorder around you! Record any crucial information you can get. If possible, record everything when you are around your parents...you're gonna need it when they stab you behind your back!
- After your parents stop yelling, be an angel! (Duh!) Listen to whatever they say, do whatever they tell you to do and most importantly-minimise talk time with your parents. Answer what they ask (with GENTLE voice) and no more!
- ALWAYS compliment your parents! Even when you think your mother's cooking sucks or your dad's haircut looks like shit!
- Try to find every single possible thing to GET OUT of the house! You don't want to start a fight and ruin your day! Less time at home, less time to piss your parents.
- When you wake up first thing in the morning, DO NOT make your parents angry! Nothing good can come of it! Your parents will be pissed at you for a whole day and you'll get punished for ruining their day!
- Hide anything that you think is fun, (like your comics...drawings...) this way if they get angry, they can't add more things to be angry about! When parents are angry, they want to add fuel to the fire! Don't give them that chance!
