I was not perfect in life. Does anyone else know, I cry every day because I was depressed by all this. Now I feel like a robot that could in any command. I became afraid to work. And always restrained and forced by the parents. I think I want to end my life. Actually I wanted to tell my parents, but it seems they do not want to see their children only because of prestige, if their child is not the best. Do you always obey your parents? What do you think of me?

I'm sorry to hear that, really worst parents are always wanting the best for their children, we can see, a lion was always provide the best for their children, hopefully your parents are good people and no worse than a lion I feel sure, your parents are testing you in living your life, it is only for your independence. Try to think positive.

I think just like you, whatever was done by my parents is best for me, whether they will understand if I explain this?

Yes, there's nothing wrong with them. Of course, every parent would understand about the mind son, imagine, they take care of you from the baby, they certainly know your character.

Don't feel depressed. Life is beautiful . . enjoy it! I suggest that you talk to your parents, about your depression and what triggers it. Perhaps by doing so, they will realize that they have been pressuring you too much to conform to what they like you to be. Ask them if they could help you lead a life to your liking but is more or less in conformity to what they like. Open up to them, do not be afraid. They are your parents and they love you . They will understand your predicament and am sure they will help you. Find friends who can understand you and help overcome your depression. Remember, that there are a lot of people so much more miserable than you. You are lucky because you don't have a deformity or illness. You have many things to be thankful of. Most of all pray for God to help you to be strong and overcome your depression.

I always hoped to get out of this problem, I want my parents to understand on my situation, I've been harboring feelings. Perhaps your advice should I try, may I always be loved by them.

Hi, Kendedes, don't say "I was not perfect". Don't be so exigent towards yourself. This is maybe the influence of your parents but this is all wrong. Most of the times parents want the best for their children and they provoqye the worst result. I'll repeat the advice that I read in a book about positive thinking: Stand up in front of a mirror, look at yourself and try to think that you like what you see. Relax, try to realize that you are a normal girl. And if you can, try to live an independent life. Good luck and courage!

Maybe you should be more open to your parents about the burden that must be you responsibility to maintain your performance. try to find time to tell your feelings, I'm sure if you can deliver in a timely way about how great expectations they have for you actually make your life was not happy, that Study abroad and her achievement is important but it is also important to socialize, and because their selfishness, you have to lose it, explain how you're not happy.

Not good to feel desperate. I'm not too open with my parent. And I used to be independent since I was kid. Sometime I obey them, but more often I don't. Parent always want the best for their child. If you not feel confortable with their thought or their way, you should talk to them. Don't buried yourself. You still young, your life is away to go.

I have tried all my life to impress my parents or to win their approval. I have finally realized at 46 that it cannot and will not be done. Don't spend your entire life miserable. Set your parents straight, talk to them, they are not going to like what they hear, but it's far better to nip it in the bud now. You have an amazing future ahead of you, YOUR future, don't let them make you feel the way you do. Your too young to be so miserable. It is a very fixable situation. If you feel you can't confront your parents on your own, seek out someone that can be a mediator, perhaps a relative, school counselor, preacher, etc. Good Luck and hang in there, everythings going to be okay.

every people crave''perfect''life, if I can last long for life in this world without any barriers. and to achieve a life like this man was willing to work hard or through a variety of ways. it is not surprising that frequent deviations or obstruction - obstruction therein. and according to my own, I will be grateful with what I have. not to man the Lord has provided each parts thereof. so I think my efforts are already meeting what is my goal. maybe other people think my life is still not enough, but to me it is maximal with my strength. because according to my personal research, of course assessment of whether life is not perfect and it is relatively dependent in terms of what others see. for me, akh! this life is perfect, as long as I feel happy about that.
