Bless your heart ~ I can totally understand. Being a teenager is rough enough, without having parents who don't even TRY to understand.
One thing I have always said is teenagers have a RIGHT to get angry at times!!! Why shouldn't they? Anger is an emotion -- and there are times when it's justified just like when adults get angry. It's all about how the teen REACTS to the anger.
Why do you have trust issues with your parents? Have they betrayed you in the past? I would hope that you could trust your parents above everyone else
The ONLY advice I can give you is when you want to talk to your parents, keep your voice down -- try not to give in to the anger even IF your parents become irritated. Try not to give "one word answers" to your parents. My granddaughter would do that to her mother, and that would INFURIATE her Mom. Her mom would ask her why she was late coming home because she was supposed to be home at 4pm and she came home at 5:30pm. My granddaughter would answer "Because." You KNOW that would drive a mother nuts!! Give full explanations to questions without an "attitude." My granddaughter always had a "tude."
I'm NOT saying everything is your fault, and I'm NOT saying that you DO all these things. I'm just picking at straws here. LOL Just be careful with the tone of your voice - and hang onto your anger. Hopefully you and your parents will get along better. Then later, if you're still angry, go in your room and SCREAM into your pillow and kick your feet on your bed!!! That's what *I* do when I'm mad!  That way the cops don't get called. LOL Hugs, Lee
