You're what, 15-16? If you were MY daughter and you acted like that toward me, you flat wouldn't have a birthday celebration!!

If you're not getting any help from your parents with whatever is wrong with you, then the first place to start to gain control of you and your life is with the pshyc counselor at your school!

When my oldest son (38 yrs old) raises his voice to me, all I have to do is remind him he's talking to his MOTHER!! The yelling stops immediately. When my youngest (27 yrs old) talks to me with disrespect and doesn't stop, I don't listen to him any more until he can talk to me with the fact in mind that he's talking to his MOTHER!! God forbid they should CUSS at me!!!!

You really do need to understand that to get what you want, you need to ask for it in a respectful tone of voice; whether it's understanding of a problem, a "toy" or whatever else you need or want. This is true throughout life. I learned the hard way that yelling and anger doesn't get you one damn thing except grief! It doesn't solve a single thing.
