My parents are homophobic and very conservative... and I'm in the closet :( also, my sister makes fun of me for having deprression. Sometimes my whole family ignores me, and my mom always tells me that all I do is cause stress and problems. I don't really enjoy school that much, but I would rather stay there than come any day...:(

I feel horrible at my home too, cuz I feel that my parents expect TOO MUCH out of me… the only place I like to be at is either at Camp (This year was my first year at that camp and it was fun and it felt like I fit in and everyone was nice to me) or I'd rather be with my grandma more than being home. My grandmas the nicest person I've known in my life.

I really don't know what to say to help you, but up above is how I feel in my life.

I don't know why your family treats you like that; Maybe you could try and make an extra effort to help your parents, if they see you offering to do chores for example they may start to see differently (prove them wrong), I know what it's like having unsupportive siblings too, I'm not sure what you can do about that though. Hope I've helped :)

A lot of people feel like that for various reasons in their household.

My advice is pretty simple. You need to try and find an opening to talk to them. I mean if they are any kind of loving parents they will listen. You need to tell them that you feel you can't talk to them because they might judge you. You don't have to tell them anything you don't want too other than that you feel you can't talk to them. Usually for a lot of parents this is enough to make them think and try and keep an open mind.

My friend used to have very conservative parents who were rather conservative and he simply said he felt that he could not talk to them about his problems or feelings and it has improved their relationship quite a bit. It might not work but it is worth a go.

As for your sister and your mother being mean again try just telling them how hurt you are when they say things that upset you. Sometimes communication is the keep.

The only other thing you can do is sit still and be quiet yet this can have its own set of issues.

I really wish you the best for the future and I hope things work out okay for you and your family in the end.
