This is abit random, but does anyone else wish that they could just talk to their parents more about stuff. I just find it really annoying how when my sister was my age, she would tell absolutly everything to my mum, but now i have stuff i want to tell my mum i just cant. I dont know why, my mums really ok with anything i do and really open to anything (she once told me that if i wanted to do heroine she'd rather i do it at home lol, completely randomly btw) but i'm just to embarressed to talk to her.
I cant even talk to my big sis about it, becuase her and my mum have such a good relationship that she would tell my mum straight away. I dont know, i just wish i didnt have to keep things from my mum. Gah peed off.

I've never spoken with my parents about anything personal. I've kind of tried with my mum, but my dad has just no idea about it and i don't even bother. I don't even speak with my brother and sister about personal stuff - in fact i don't speak to them for months at a time when i'm away.

I do wish i could speak about more personal stuff and i probably could - but it just seems wrong and they can't help.

Count yourself lucky - my mum makes me feel condemned and guilty whenever she speaks to me abuot things. She has to force things out of me sometimes, and even if I tell her voluntarily (like with my pregnancy scare) she has such an over-the-top, you're-at-fault-here, aren't-you-terrible reaction that I just don't tell her anymore.
Then she's like "oh why don't you tell me things?". She just gives me no support.
I guess - start off by telling your mum little things, like what you're up to, what your friends are up to, who you think is cute at school. Then when she has a base of knowledge, it might somehow be easier to talk to her.

My dad's like that with me...never supports me and turns anything and everything around as if I'm always the sole person at fault if something goes wrong.

However, I'm quite happy talking to my mum about most things. I, however, usually know how she'd react. If I think she'd take it badly, I'd do my best to stop myself from telling her no matter how much I wanted to...

ive always been able to talk to my mum about most things. why is it if shes ok with things, and open with you, that you cant talk to her? you seem jealous that your sister can... what stops you from doing the same?

I don't speak to my dad about much stuff other than university application progress at the moment! I talk to my mum about most stuff: college, friends etc; and I speak to my sister loads, about nearly everything! :biggrin:

Of course, my friends are always fab about talking when I need to!

You just described my dad perfectly.

And then he'd get even more annoyed, because he couldn't understand why I never told him stuff.

Parents, eh? :rolleyes:

Still, I've got to love him, he's brought me up, albeit not as I would've wanted.

My mum is pretty open to anything, but every once in a while she has some damned conservative opinion which makes her start ranting and I can't get anything across. My dad's not around anymore and my sister's a clown (silly girl :p:

), but I don't really feel the need to talk to anyone about all my perosnal stuff so it's OK

My parents are nice but they can come down like a tone of bricks which stops me telling them stuff. But I would like to.

i tell my parents the bare minimum about my life, i dont really tell them about my relationships or feelings because its quite personal and to be honest i dont feel comfortable doing so; i find it much more helpful talking to friends about things like that.

So I went back home again from uni, and finnaly told my parents, whom I've never spoken that freely with, that I am gay. Basicaly they went mad.. They are not letting me stay there! This sucks gotta pack up and leave again and this time it looks like i wont be coming back. Im staying with my aunt who is being really good, I can talk to her more than my parents. Ive still to say goodbye to all my friends, i left in such a rush and can't say when I'll be there again as Im at uni miles from home and without somewhere to stay it'll be hard. I think really its time to turn around and just turn my back on parents and everything.

Everythings changing now when I least want it to!! christmas! Its like everything is a blur when I turn around all out of my control the world just is moving allong without me but Im not mobile.

Im just going to start back at this life (at uni) hopefully to stretch myself back into the vibe of things, I have friends here, what does it matter what my parents thing. Really I'm waking up to say I've tried to tell them, instead of waking up to another tv guide-esque excuse to cover up my true sexuality. although Im left with with mixed feelins crazy and wild and sad (sometimes I wanna scream out lound) Im just happy that somone loves me and although everythings chaniging, everywhere I go he'll be there with me and even if it is all out of my control, it will be ok.

I'm really sorry about that. But it's better to get things out in the open rather than having to hide them.

I disagree, there's nothing wrong with keeping things to yourself.
