Hi: Your welcome. When i was 15 my parents i couldn't do much for my family either. My parents are American (Czech heritage), they didn't budge either. My mom still doesn't budge (my dad's deceased) and I'm 32 years old. My parents were brought up the old fashioned way. Sometimes, I feel its all about control. My mom always wanted me to move in with her and my family but I refused. She'd say all sorts of stuff to me, but now I'm numb to it. I just let it go in one ear and out the other. If talking to your parents doesn't work, don't try so hard with the task they give you. The main task you should really complete is school. Even though, I didn't like school and felt it was a drag, I completed school and even earned my bachelor's degree. As for you not sharing your problems, please don't feel bad. Everyone has problems and your certainly not a burden. The teenage years are the hardest. As you get older, you will learn who your true, real friends are. True friends will lend you a shoulder to cry on, hold your hand through rough times. Even though I'm older, my friends invite me to go out but sometimes, I don't the money and I feel bad when they pay for me. However, I reimburse them by taking them out for lunch. My friends have even told me numerous times, friends are here for each other and to help one another. P.S. You didn't bother me with anything. I understand were your coming from. If you need anymore advice, don't hesitate to ask. Take Care. :)
