    I talk to my mom about most things, but there are a few things I just prefer not to bring up with her. We're very, very close.

    I ask her for sex advice in my stories.

    Usually it's easy to talk to my parents. My dad isn't around as much as my mom because he works so often, but me and my mom are really close. I can talk to her about anything. She's helped me through tough times, like when one of my friends ran into some trouble and through some of my depressions. Plus she loves reading my fanfic XD. Creepy enough...

    I have issues with my parents.
    Maybe it's because I'm 13, but I cant STAND them talking to me or touching me, and if I'm watching TV or something and they come into the room, I want to leave. I hate being around them.
    I dont know :/

    I don't talk much to them about things I actually care about. I can't tell them the really important stuff.

    But I don't mind talking to them. It's not awful. x]

    I hate being around with my father. I can't tell him anything. :file: I'm not used with him being around. He's always not in our house, usually for 9 months 'cause he's working abroad. Actually I don't care. :coffee:

    I can talk to my mom, yeah, but not about really personal stuff. She's pretty, uh, closed-minded. Anyway, she's always busy with work nowadays [ they both are } so, I don't really get to talk about them often.

    I used to tell my mum everything.
    Now she doesn't want to know.
    So if I try and tell her something she has a go at me.

    I never talk about serious things with my parents. I almost never talk about anything to my dad. My mom and I talk about things/people we hate. I don't think I really talk about anything very personal. I mean we ususally talk about politics or something. >.o

    I can talk to my mom about 99% of what goes on in my life.
    My dad... 70% at best.

    I talk to my parents about almost anything. But for the things that I'm too embarassed to talk to my parents about, my sister is nice enough to talk about them with me for them. She's really cool, she was the first one to know about my boyfriend, and all that stuff.

    Those things that I can't talk to my mom about are like, teenage issues. My sister is still going through them, so she'll have more...updated advice.

    My dad and I talk a LOT when he's drunk =/ which means he ends up forgetting and it hurts. But...but yeah. We mostly connect on music; we both feel the same things about it, I guess. Or depression, or we compare about how the world is today opposed to how it was when he was my age.

    My dad taught me how to shoot, and that's probably when we're at our best. At camp. We just shoot the guns, and that's like...when I feel he's proud of me. When he sees I can hit that target.
    Actually, I think it's a great way to bond, a great way to learn self-defense, and a great way to take out your anger, so I can't complain.
    But the point is, that's the only time we ever really talk, I think.
    And whenever we work together on something, we work quite well. Either I know what he's doing, or he knows what I'm doing, so we never try to correct the other. (:

    I can talk to my mom about basically anything.
    She's really my best friend. Sometimes I feel like she
    treats me more like a friend then daughter but not in
    a bad way.

    I haven't talked to my dad in about three months and
    I haven't seen him since October and I plan on keeping
    it that way. When I did talk to him, I never told him anything
    personal. If anything was wrong with me, he'd find a way
    to blame my mom or constantly flood me with questions
    and never leave me alone about anything. Basically
    he made it impossible for me to keep anything personal.

    I don't talk to either of my parents about things. I only talk to them if it has to do with either me leaving, or them telling me they are going somewhere.

    They just don't understand me AT ALL, and they're too busy anyways. If I'm ever in a car with my dad, all he'll do is go on and on about how bad of a kid I am.

    And I do alot without them knowing. Things I can't tell them- hah, one being about my Myspace. Which I've felt really guilty for for over a year.
    But I'd be DEAD. Duh, ok, so for fighting with my sister, I had to quit all the sports I'm in!!! They took it WAY over the top, especially when the fight wasn't my fault- and it was only a verbal fight, NO SWEARING!!!

    ok, im done. sorry.

    I tried talking to mine more, but all they did was complain about how I don't talk to them enough. They know practically everything that is going on in my life and they STILL complain. :grr:
