Absolutely block out every word he’s saying. I’m sure it looks fine and if you like it that’s all that matters. Making fun of your *kid (cause I don’t know if you’re a guy or girl; doesn’t matter in the slightest) is very weird and yes HE should feel embarrassed.

@Silence33 Awh man, I have a little sister your age and I’d FIGHT for you. Just know they are coming from a place of ignorance, I’ve been lectured about things that made me feel so insecure growing up (very religious strict Ukrainian parents) and you just have to realize that they are spewing out things they’ve heard growing up. It’s not YOU it’s their fear of how they would be perceived. Try to not let their words in as much, accept that they are not going to like it even if you do. I’m sorry you feel like you’re going through this alone :(

Sorry to hear this. Sounds like they're in some way threatened by you expressing yourself, like they want you to just conform and make things simpler for them. People are strange, could even be they wished they'd rebelled or been a bit different, and they told themselves they couldn't (or were told they couldn't) and now they're putting that on you. It's hard for sure, and legit you find it upsetting. Ultimately noone else can decide your life for you and good on you for trying something you'd like in the face of that. Takes guts

Honestly, i don't have that great of an advice to give you, considering he's from a different generation and most people like him find it really to difficult to move their rigid little minds, but have you tried telling him in a serious voice that this is making you feel awful, that he's hurting you? I mean, sometimes straight up honestly catches people by surprise. Although, this may also be a complete failure depending on the person you're dealing with. If this doesn't work, then theres nothing else other than talking to someone you trust and enduring this toxicity until you become of age and get to leave this house.

No one is going to help me
I have OCD, but my parents don’t understand what I’m going through. All I wanted was for someone to be by my side and support me, but they dismiss my struggles, telling me to "just stop thinking" and that I’m making a big deal out of nothing. When I asked for a new therapist because my current one isn’t helping—she isn’t even an OCD specialist—they became angry and didn't believe I need therapy and instead blame me for everything. My father was so mad, he insist to gave me a knife and kill myself. He threatened to isolate me completely, cutting me off from school, the internet, and everything else. My mom cried and shut me down when I tried to explain my pain. They refuse to listen and my dad said it’s all my fault. That day they threw me outside the house for a night, and called me back in telling me to forget everything and forgive them, but I understood that I will not be able to mention anything about my mental health or seeing an OCD specialist ever again, I am completely alone now. With no financial support, and now I don’t know if I’ll ever get the proper therapy I need. I’m only 15, but it feels like I’ll be trapped in this suffering forever, I feel hopeless, I feel like shit, I am going to suffer forever with no support and help.

Got in a huge argument with my family and it had to do with my ocd (contamination ocd) and they told me they’d wish I was normal. How long do I have to fight this.

I harmed myself
I had the biggest emotional breakdown of my life. I don't even understand why, but because of something that bothered me the slightest bit, i started yelling SOO loudly and bad at my parents: "YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!" I threw some things, i even ran, tried to leave the house, and i ran to my room, i hit my head and i got a bump and some really bad scratches. Afterwards i felt super guilty, i feel horrible for having made my parents feel this way, and how was it possible that I hurt myself like this? I don't understand why i reacted that way, it's so, soo bad. They hugged me and we cried for a while, but i don't understand, am i crazy?
