then i guess its family intervention time um hm..... you could ask "could you do better".

Like I said "There would be consequences if I talk back..." It is very complicated... Most people just don't understand . I don't want the most probable consequence of disrespecting my step-mom. Where could I go or do so I can be my self?

well i know there arent very many fairy tales about loving and caring step moms but,maby you can change that, try planning a familey acttivity or a theme park trip. just study your moms intrests and try to preform them for your mum or try getting a little "social" with her.

My family is not average. Every time I write my poetry or books, play my guitar, sing/rap, climb trees, or even say a guy in my class is as much as nice they flip out on me, insult my work, or turn their nose up at me like they could do or be better. All my friends think what I do is good and they are always honest with me because they know I don't like people who sugar-coat things. I want to do the things I love, and I don't have the time or ability to do them at school. I am too afraid to talk back for a lot of reasons. They don't hit me or anything, but I have my reasons. What do I do about my parents and how they discourage me?

Confront them about it.

look... pay no attention to things they say or do.... if you like doing that stuff, then go ahead and do it.... besides you still have parents right.... take advantage of it when you still can... if they don’t support you well that’s their problem..... I know all too well how that feels....

maybe they just dont realize that how they're expressing their thoughts. be stronger! I know u can do it

Thanks a lot. I'm just going  to ignore them, and try to be happy with what I do.

They might be discouraging you because they want you to do better. I have this problem too with my family. They don't support me in the way I need them to, and they think, they always think I should do better than what I already do. At first they tease me doing things and then they tell me not to do them. It makes me so confused. Dx

They might not want to see you get hurt, but if you believe in yourself thats all you need.
