i get angy over little things

I'm sure your mum would never hate you! Often we take our frustrations and our moods out on those closest to us, and I'm sure your mum understands that.

Teenage years are the years we all clash with our parents as we are trying to find our own way in life. Parents know this because they did the same to their own parents! When you know you've upset your mum though, what about just telling her your sorry? I'm sure it would go a long way in putting things right.

I agree. Try talking to her about it. Maybe she can help you, and that could bring you even closer together.

dont worri i totally know what your going threw for me to understand the true value of my mo she kikd me out n i had no where to go apart from my mates house but i felt relly uncomfortable about stoppin there cos they have lives & family's of there own & it used to really hurt both me n my mom!!! my mom would go off the head about pathetic things aswel, like muddy trainers like you said or coming in late or not telling her where im goin or what time im goin 2 b in, she would go mad then i would go mad back & i wouldn't shut up until she would cry eitha, then one nyt my mom said she had enough n, she kikd me out i stoppd @ ma b/f's house for 2 nyt's then my m8s for a week then in the end i felt really uncomfortable n missd ma mom LOADZ n i went and appolagised!!! we are fine now which is gr8 but the point is that you will never appreaciate your mom enough unless you realise the true value ofher 2 u?????? i think that YOU BOTH need a break for a cpouple of days or a week... it will really help n SHOULD make a difference??? take care plz ryt bk..... or ifg u EVA need 2 chat add me on msn if u have got it okie£#$ [email protected]

I'd definately tell your mum that you're angry, but you don't mean to direct it at her and you're not sure why you're angry. That way she'll know it's not her and that you're trying to deal with this issue really maturely for someone your age.

Just put yourself in her shoes, and think: WOuld I like to be a mother working for 4-6 hours, come home to an ignorant teenager that you have been raising for most of your life. Your hard work with diaper changing, breast feeding, staying awake night after night.

I like everyone else's reply though, it makes more sense. Hope that solves your problem, and hope you'll over come this.

Do something unexpected and nice like thinking of her for once. Go out and buy her some decent flowers and a box of chocolates, not cheap stuff either. Ok I can hear it now, my mum isnt in to that sort of thing. Believe me she is. When she asks what its for tell her its for putting up with you. If you are REALLY sorry show her you are. She will remember it for the rest of her life and appreciate it. Worth a tenner dont you think? or would you rather spend it on booze?

HI, I am just gonna come right out and tell you what I think will work.

One, every night, tell yourself you are not going to be angry anymore. Look at yourself in the mirror and think of how ugly you must look as an angry boy instead of your usual, sweet self.

Two, make an extra effort to be nice to your mom-chocs, flowers, tea in bed on a weekend, favorite mag, laundry, speak softly, lovingly. Just like you are when you are with friends, we always try to be nice with them because we want to be accepted. But mom, we take for granted.

Three, do tell your mom you love her and don't mean to act mad at her. And I am sure she understands that your being a teenager is part of the reason you are acting this way, that it is just a passing phase.

Know that you are a good person, and live like it too. Keeps everyone happy.
