...See more I'm 17 years old, and my parents are so strict that i feel as if I'm a prisoner. none of the hundreds of teens that I've talked to feel this way. my family is extremely toxic. going to college is my next biggest milestone, but that's extremely expensive and it's causing heavy amounts of stress for my parents. i feel like they take this financial stress out on me, as if i myself chose to be born from them. it's not my fault. as each day passes, i think about the physical and mental abuse that is thrown to me by them - i don't know what this feeling is but it may be depression. i often feel as if i should've never been born on this Earth or suicidal thoughts, just to remove that stress that I'm causing my parents to suffer. it's getting worse everyday. today, i lost my temper and shouted back at my mother (I'm usually always quiet when being lectured), and she started to talk about how she has given up her life for my wellbeing. while that's true and appreciable, i don't think she understands just how much pressure that's being put on me. I'm like a rice cooker waiting to go off. she started to cry (extremely rare to see her cry). i want to remove the burden from my parents. i don't know how. this gives me suicidal thoughts. please help.
