I'm getting alittle tired of this

[Destructive Impulse]

So right now my moms talkin on the phone and I cant help but overhear the conversation. It's about me. More specifically how I can't do anything right.
"[he's] a worthless piece of shit. I swear he can't do anything right. The only thing he's good at is math but for whatever fucking reason he hates it. Ive gave up on him a while ago. He can fuck up and face the consequences himself but I'm fucking done with him and his bullshit."
other end of the conversation...
"don't get me started on him and photography. He's fucking retarded if he thinks he's good enough to have an actual future in photography. Seriously you should see when he comes home from a basketball game half of the photos are blurry and the rest are mediocre. The lazy shit can't do anything right. When he is living on the streets he can bet his ass I won't bail him out."
It just went on and on until I finally stopped listening. My parents say this stuff to my face and I'm kinda tired of it. Obviously there's nothing I can do but I really wish they would stop constantly reminding me how big of a fuck up I am. I don't know maybe I'm just over reacting but I really wish they would stop. It just sucks you know?

well somehow i fucked up easter. my parents started off telling me that i dont do shit around the house and i need to get a job and it ended with my parents taking away my camera because i havent worked on my portfolio yet. there was alot in between and they yelled at me for about a good hour. im really getting sick of them yellin at me but theres nothing you can do

[Destructive Impulse]

its whatever man. Theyre not wrong i just wish they would stop reminding me im such a fuck up. Its not their fault i cant do jack shit so it comes down to me :/

[Gothicdeer]

DON'T SAY THAT!!!! prove them wrong and work to become something amazing and show them up...you are not worthless...YOUR NOT!!!!

[Destructive Impulse]

actually i am worthless. Its not low self esteem or anything just a fact. Everything i do i fuck up on.

[Skeptical Bear]

I know how annoying and shitty parents can be. Just ignore them to be honest. All you can do is that. Just know that they're getting mad because you're not satisfying them and you don't need to. Parents think they know what's best for their children and more than half the time, they're wrong so don't take their shit to heart.

[Destructive Impulse]

Actually no they arent wrong. Everything they say/said about me is true. I just hate how they keep bringin it up.

[Skeptical Bear]

You don't need a talent to be worth something. No ones perfect. You're not worthless. You need to explore to see what you like and you might be really good at it. You never know.

[Gothicdeer]

You HAVE got to stop thinking like that

[Destructive Impulse]

the best thing i can do is photography but even then i suck at it. Also this threads not about me being a screw up its about my parents constantly reminding me of that

You'll get through this man. You're not a fuck up. One day you'll see that.

[Skeptical Bear]

I see you're good at math. Isn't that worth something? And you say you suck at photography but no one's born a professional at it.

[Destructive Impulse]

not really i hate it and im fucking up pre-cal at the moment. i barely have above an 85

[Skeptical Bear]

So you're doing better than the usual individual. Not that many people are good at math. I can't tell you how many times my mom has told me crap like that. I took it really hard at first because she's my mom, but now I know not to take it seriously. This will fly by. Parents are parents and they're the last people you should take any comments from seriously.

[Destructive Impulse]

it's really not a big deal at all. Y'all are blown this way out of proportion. And an 87 isn't too hot of a grade to have

[JackShephard]

Well all I have to say is that you have terrible parents. I'm kind of going through the same thing with a "friend."

Listen to me, my mom (and her fucking piece of shit boyfriend) did that same shit with me. I used to believe it like you. I used to get so low and eventually cave into drugs and cutting. They don't realize that the could actually drive someone to do this. But I looked past their expectations. I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I realized that I am here to do what I am her to do. Not what my mom wants me to do. My life is mine and I shall take it by the reins.

I'm sure that your interest in photography (and whatever else) could become something amazing. And I bet that your not as bad as you think you are. You are you. Not your parents. Don't listen to them. But at the same time, give them as little reason as possible to cut you down. Intimidate them. Find something the screwed up at and excel at it. This will only make them realize how wrong they are.

I'm lending you a hand in friendship. You can contact me about whatever. Because the truth is, even though I have never seen your face or never shared a laugh or experienced grief together, I care. I know things like this can be tough and I don't want people turning to drugs or cutting (or even destructive thoughts) like I did once.

Sorry, I meant to edit but my phone messed something up. Lol sorry for double posting. I can't fix this from here.

[Sonic Boom]

Ok, so find someone who is very good at photography and get him/her to help you. Learn from the best. Soon your parents will be eating their words and will think twice before doubting you so loudly. Muhahahaha!

[Destructive Impulse]

Ya I don't know who I would get. My yearbook teacher can't really help me and I'm already president of our schools photo club. There's no one at the school that can help me in photography. I'm just on my own :/

My parents aren't that bad. And as far as turning to cutting. Well that's already happened and for destructive thoughts if ur talkin bout suicide I've already tried it about 5 times

[Destructive Impulse]

teejay. For whatever reason I couldn't figure out how to send u a vm but thanks for the link. That being said I already know that stuff. I've studied cameras, how they work and all that but the execution of its just terrible. I've done photography for 4 or 5 years now. I suck at it. The pics I take are dull and look like an amateur took em.

[Sonic Boom]

There are some people on here who are also photographic fanatics. Try to find/attract them by making a new thread. Then maybe they can help you.

Otherwise you can cheat. Learn to use photoshop or something to make your pics look better.

That's the last of my ideas. Sorry I can't help you further. But you gotto keep trying till it comes right.

[Destructive Impulse]

That's unethical and I use PhotoShop and all that

[Breakeven]

best way when ur parents yells at u or talk about u this what i do "put very loud music" and act like u didnt hear a thing

[Destructive Impulse]

Ya my dad would be pissed and probably beat me. That really wouldn't work.

[Breakeven]

Ya my dad would be pissed and probably beat me. That really wouldn't work. well try talk to them and tell them to back off , ur trying ur best and no one is perfect!

[Destructive Impulse]

No dice. That just makes things so much worse. Talking to them does not work

[Breakeven]

awww -.-

[Destructive Impulse]

Ya it's better to just let it happen and hope it doesn't. It's whatever
