I used to get along great with my family, now we always seem to be fighting. I wasn't sure if it was just puberty making me feel this way or something, but it seems like if someone so much as raises their voice, I get quiet and draw into my shell. I'll plan a trip to a restaurant or to watch a movie as a family, but then somebody will say something just a bit off and I'll completely call it off, which, in turn, makes me feel worse. I want to love my family and be grateful that I even have one, but I can't. My sister used to do everything with me, now she gets mad when I feel sad, which is a lot. I don't snap at her or anything, but she gets mad. I just can't love someone who does that. Beyond her, I have no friends and I feel lonely a lot, but I'm worried that I'm the one causing these fights and I'd only lose a friendship if I made one, because I'd start fighting with them. I try to respect people and not start fights, but when my mom gets mad at me, my dad does too, and even my sister. They don't have much of an opinion of their own. I'm sorry if I sound like a brat, I just don't want to keep having stuff like this happen.
