My Parents Don't Listen to Me

<p><strong>Have you ever felt like no matter what you say your parents just don't understand you?</strong> Or maybe it feels like <strong>they're not even trying to listen</strong>. It can be <strong>frustrating and exhausting</strong>. You're not alone this is something a lot of teens deal with.</p><p>Talking to parents can feel like a <strong>losing battle</strong> sometimes. You're growing up figuring out who you are and learning to make your own decisions. Meanwhile your parents are holding on to the idea of <strong>protecting you</strong> and making sure you're safe. It's like you're both speaking <strong>different languages</strong> even though you're in the same house.</p><p>But here's the thing it doesn't always have to feel this way. The way you and your parents talk to each other can <strong>change over time</strong>. Even <strong>small efforts</strong> can make a huge difference. Learning to understand each other more isn't about pointing fingers or blaming anyone it's about figuring out <strong>how to meet in the middle</strong>.</p>
