Yes, that's right. Me, Phe, the V.C., is actually going to make a topic in the Relationships advice forum. This isn't an example people, I need some real help here.

For many, many years, my father and I have had an ongoing problem. With each other.

It's not abuse, it's like a chronic arguement. In recent months, it's been extreme. It seems like it's always either we're kidding around with each other and having fun, or yelling at one another.

I'm going to admit some weirdo stuff here, that probably seems really O.O.C. (out of character) to those of you that know my usually hyper self.

Somehow, we always get back to the same topic, my dad and I. Who's in control, and he brings up the normal, "You're not equal to me, I'm your father!" And goes on to explain how my reasoning, opinion, and general way of life isn't as good as his because I'm only fifteen.

Do I sound emo? D: I'm sorry. Advice please, here?

He's your dad, he's responsible and he cares for you. In kinda of a way, he was ''more power'' then you. You get it?

So, I think next time you guys fall a the subject again, you should tell that you understand as a dad he's responsible and stuff. So, more power in a way. But, that you, you're 15th and not a kid anymore, you have more responsablities as well.

Or something like that... I'm much help but I still hope it gives you an idea or something. sweatdrop

Thanks Viki.

xp I hope we can work this out, I just don't like how he treats me sometimes. I'll consider what you said when we next get in a fight.

My dad and I have the same problem. Actually, I have no idea what to do to fix it. Me, I moved out of home the year I turned 16, so I've been doing whatever I can not to speak with him, since he apparently is incapable of saying anything nice to me. He's been staying at my apartment for the last week, and will hopefully be returning home by tomorrow, but man, this has been one of the most exhausting weeks of my life.

I don't think this is a good solution, and I've tried dealing with it. In all honestly, though, I don't care anymore. I was hurt in the beginning, but nowdays, I mostly get angry when he tries to interfer in my life, since I know how it will end.

sometimes this problem is handled best by just sitting it out. find ways to show him you are more responsible than you think, and eventualy he will see you can take care of yourself.

You guys have great suggestions for meh!

Really, though, I think I was just being emo yesterday. Y'all now have a legal right to kill me. xp

*considers what to do with the axe that for some random reason seems to be placed in my hand*

Nah, just kidding. It's okay to be emo once in a while. At least it was only a day blaugh
