I am a 15 years old girl that always feel that my parents are against me. I feel like I can never do anything right. I try my best in school and it never seems to make them happy. It is more my mum then my dad. If I say one little thing wrong she will have a stress at me and then that makes me upset and I begin to cry. A lot of the time my dad will stick up for me but that will make my mum worse. Recently we have become very short on money and my mum has given up smoking to help with the money problems. But I feel really guilty because I am going on holiday with my boyfriend on Saturday and my mum cannot afford to give me any money and she is going to have to borrow it. This makes me feel really guilty. Also they have told me I cannot see my boyfriend as much because of petrol and I said I understand and that's not a problem. But what a surprise it didn't seem to make my mum any happier. I always feel that I am the mum when it comes to her nothing is never good enough. Some times we will have a argument and she will not talk to me for about 3 days!
Is this me just being a teenager with the whole mum thing or is she just like that in her own little world? Also the holiday should I feel guilty even though she said that I could go before all this happened? I know this probably sounds like a load of rubbish but i just don't know what to do any more. 
Thanks

Your mom is stressed. My dad had lost his job close to a year ago and is still trying to look for one and my mom has been working her butt off and working endlessly to help out. Both are stressed and so I always give them space. I try to watch what I say in front of them – because like you – one little slip up and BOOM nightmare from both parents. They never used to be like this, I guess money and stress have really gotten to them – which is understandable.
She's doing a great job for giving up smoking – I'm actually proud of her for that! 
Just maybe after you go to your trip you can help out. Maybe you can do less spending money or maybe you can get a part time job and make your own money or give a little bit as a contribution. A little can come a long ways!
Don't worry, I honestly think it's the stress that's happening to your mom. It's happening with my parents!
Just less spending. More focus on school – get good grades. And if you could, help her out!
