Now i don't really post in these forums much, but recently i have been having problems that have been making me feel so low. I had so many that i have to write them down just to sort myself out!
The vendetta that my family has against me has recently spawned from an incident where i declared that before the upcoming exams i wanted to move into the unused room, and stop sharing with my twin brother. Mainly for privacy reasons, and for studying purposes. But he continously walks in and out, asking me pointless questions and sometimes he doesn't say a thing. I think i see him more now than when we actually shared a room. Another reason i moved was due to the fact that we want to sleep at different times and watch different things on TV(not at night) but still he insists on coming into my room and waking me up, or when watching the TV he changes the channel. Now this may seem trivial to you but over months it does become very annoying.
But it doesnt stop there. In the last year i made a new mate who changed who he hung out with at school and we got to know each other. We hung out a few times etc. Its not that i dont get on well with him, but my mum really "loves" him, and treats him like he is her own and i have only known him for a few months. Now she gets angry if he's not round at the house or i havent spoken to him for a day. This really ticks me off, as the best of friends still need time apart now and then. She started calling me ignorant cus i wouldnt phone him during my exams. She doesnt understand how important they are! I did ring him after them, but she wasnt satisfied that i hadnt invited him round. I can't believe her!
Now my bro keeps going on about this, and i havent properly spoken to my mum in about a week. He thinks it's my fault for upsetting her, and now she keeps talking about it to my father, i dont really know what to do! My brother (if i can call him that) continuously pesters me about ringing him, but again i don't need to be hanging out with friends all the time. Added to this he continously patronises me, and everything he says to me, seems to be an attempt to put me down. Things like i have no confidence, but at least i do go out, and also have a job, he sits around all day conspiring with my mother, trying to turn her against me.
I thought this may be down to jealousy of me, and i have always been better that him at school, but have never really bragged about it. But when he feels he has done badly in exams etc, he always tries to get attention, and i am never able to feel good about myself. I have never once been praised for doing well, they always concentrate on him!
Just now he has disconnected my internet, cus he says i am "sad" for going on chatforums. He then went on about how i need to get a life... I tried to counter that by asking him what he does all day, but he started on about how i always upset my mum. He makes me feel so badly about myself... and in a way it is damaging my confidence.
Anyway, i dont suspect anyone will read this, i just wanted to sort out my feelings. It seems like i should be on "Trisha" or one of these Talk-shows. I am sure i have missed something out so expect to find more posts here....

Very True!

I think having bad parents (let's be honest, if they do that they're not particulary GOOD parents, are they?) can build character and make you a better parent yourself one day. I know I won't do all the things my parents did wrong if I can help it.
Parents just don't understand that after 14, kids just wanna be left alone when it comes to friends and school.
Hmm, it seriously sounds to me like your mum fancies this friend of yours. But, apart from that, your family is REALLY weird. Jesus, I thought mine were strange, yours are off the chart.
Here's what you do. Train up and beat your brother up. My brother doesn't pull half as much crap with me now that he knows I enjoy laying into a punch bag for amusement.
Once again - your family is weird. Complaining because you don't phone your friends? Weird...

Thats not a good situation your in there, mate. I don't have any siblings so I can't comment or offer you any advice as I don't have any. Hope you get it sorted out.
Within the last 10mins, my bro has come into my room again! He didnt say anything for a few minutes, and then said, "i don't know why we get into these arguments" and then started suggesting that i do this and that, making out that it wasnt his fault at all. Also my mum walked past me room and mumbled "selfish," which made me feel bad, but i dont know what i am supposed to have done. Then as soon as my dad came home from work, they started talking about me! What am i supposed to do!?!?
Is my brother bored, jealous.... what? I dont know what to do, but it cant stay like this...
