My parents want me to go to a group home. I am trying to talk to them about it but they just think it's better for me because I end up arguing with them all the time. But they don't understand that going to a group home will be too stressful for me. I'm seeking advice in what to do.
I don't want to argue with them and I'm trying to talk to them calmly but it's very hard for me. I just feel like I'm trapped. I'm going to start praying to GOD about this but I'm still afraid of what might happen. I ask the ones that read this if they will pray for me please. And, if anyone has any advice I'd like to know what I can do. Thanks.

hi Reikon,
i am 35 yrs old, living in asian country which am single and still live with my parent, which u know or i dont know if you can imagine that or not but truly, it never be easy. And through the years, i think when i was 27, i learnt that by the grace of God, it goes well, not really but only by His grace. My parent were most time difficult for me. " by the grace of God, i learn to through those". Parents are blessing for you as well you are for them. As we know, obey your parent so ur life shall embrace His plans on you.
Bring your parent in your prayer and so yourself, never stop, to ask Father in heaven may do things according His plan.
And yes, you can tell them of what you are feeling because only them you can trust to give you the best,
thats why God created you to be their children, as me to my parents.
Our God is God of wonder, He does things incredible, all you have to do, surrender and give thanks.

God bless you Reikon.

Reikon, i used to argue with my mom so badly and yell very loudly if u ask.. And not just my mum,but my elders and i even engaged in a physical fight with 1.. Let's just say i was disrespectful, violent and i always thought i was right.. But u know what i do now?, let me reveal a secret.. I just weep like a child whenever my mom is talking to me about something wrong i did.. dis sounds funny or u might be asking if i'm a child but I love it..

There's a big diff between arguing with ur parents and been sober to d extent dat u cry whenever they correct u...

I've been like dis, so just trust me if i say God can help u,really he can!. just pray about it with a sincere heart, i'll also try praying for u.

And i'm not necessarily asking u to cry..lol

Thank you nancynacy. :) May GOD bless you as well. Thank you for the advice and I know that this will be in GOD's hands. Like you stated, I've been born for a reason and I'm with my parents for a reason, even if I may not know what that reason is now. I will continue to pray for them and I'm glad that you are understanding. It's good to find someone I can relate to. :)

Thank you Tobby17 :). I actually cry alot. I'm going through moderate depression right now so maybe, if I do tell them how much I really am depressed and so them how much they're getting to me, maybe it'll work. I also write poetry and I've dedicated a poem to my mother. I wasn't planning on showing it to her because I didn't think she'd like it but I really express my feelings in it and maybe she will reconsider. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. :)

Group home?

Yes, pray to God, Reikon, pray without ceasing, embracing that power in your life will CHANGED so many things, maybe even....arguing with your non and dad. i would, in your praying to God, ask Him for what to do to cause your parents not to think you are a burden on them. Do more dishes, cooking, come home on time from Saturdaya night fun,and, this time of year , get mom a flower, RIGHT NOW, this Sunday is Mothers Day, so make it especial for here, maybe make mom breakfast, maybe ask dad to help. God bless:)

@pysicist Well, we can relate and here I thought I was going through this alone :) Thank you for keeping me in your prayers :)

@GreenNnice I will pray and keep praying to GOD.Thanks for the advice. I don't leave the house so I don't even go out on Saturday nights. I don't even go to school but I have a garden out back with flowers that are plentiful. My mother likes my garden so I'll make sure to give her a potted plant that I grew. I'm also planning to take care of my two younger brothers for her this mother's day.

@Forlorn-Hope a group home is a home for troubled teens or at-risk teens. Sometimes when things aren't working out for teenagers at home, their parents or themselves consider them going to a group home. A group home is a home with other teens. So, basically, it's a different home where you can't live with your parents or see them on a daily basis and you're living with other people you don't know.

I'm definitely gonna pray for you. I find it heartbreaking that they won't listen to your plea.
