I have a yelling Grandma and GrandPa that curse me and yell at me relentlessly, I say im gonna clean it later.
They tell me to shutup and listen to everything they say, I say okay. They keep yelling atme, Threatening me and making fun of my name my mom and dad gave me, make fun of what I do.
If I have a great time in my room, they come in and yell saying you better do something else and don't say a thing, guest are downstairs I don't them hear that you are here.
WHen the guest arrive I can hear my grandpa grandma sometimes call me out or say he somewhere in an alley.
I need to help to survive as a kid and maybe become a nice parent.
I mean its all about me when im home or not.
If my grandma drops something on accident she curses me.
I just im scared.
They come in my room everyday making fun of my name and mom and dad, im just so scared, the only thing fun is my computer and school.
OF course they yell and make me do gardening and ONE WHOLE DAY CHORES, buts thats okay.
So my labtop is my safety. My dad got me it for christmas.
My grandma dosn't like it, saying she rather me do some work in the backyard.
When I laugh she says shutup and yells in front of my friend who comes over and says someday im gonna kick your butt out of this home. My mom and dad live in san francisco.

Just wondering why you are living with your grandparents. Was it your decision or your parents decision for you to be there. To me it sounds like your grandparents don't like having you foisted upon them as they had probably done all their years of childraising. They probably don't understand the new technology of laptops either. Maybe you could help calm things down by asking your Grandma if she would like a hand with dinner or washing up ect. If you do the chores voluntarily without complaint it would give them less to complain about to you. Sit down and talk to them. Don't yell or sulk. Try to have a good relationship with your grandparents. It sounds as if they have forgotten how to laugh and love.

oops sorry I do a lot of chores clean up after mself and everything. They tell to throw a lot of stuff i need out of my room. Sometimes if I leave heavy textbooks They sometimes throw them away in the trash. I lost my history book last year, my grandma told me she threw in the trash. I went out back to get it.
I almost never complain of working except the time when my uncle asked me to come outside to help construction the home.
I said, let me dress up and ill go.
My grandma grandpa double yelled me and said, hurry up get off the bed, put the stuff away! go!
I still like them though.

I see shoelover have responded for the discussion in very nice
manner. Now adays old people do not like to have any burdon or
responsibilities on their head. They do not do any productive
or usefull work.They are either relaxing or not in a position
to go for any earnings,so they are getting angree on what ever they see. AS you have said,they can be passified by doing
some kind of help and making them happy even if it is a matter
of finance.Make them comfortable, they may get cooled.
Do not loose heart.Things will be alright...

You should tell the school counselor. They will talk to your grandparents and tell them to stop abusing you. They will tell the police and department of children and family services and then someone will watch the situation. If it doesn't get better and they keep abusing you, you can move back in with your parents or a foster family. You shouldn't be yelled at all the time or forced to work like a slave. Talk to the authorities.

I know hard it can be when you all the time get yelled at.
Did you have tried to ask your grandparents why they keep to yell at you, when you don't do nothing to them?
Did you ever told this to your parents? I'm sure there is something you can do about it, and I think your parents can definetly help you.

You should seriously get out of that house. Your parents surely would not want you to suffer like that. Talk to them and let them know what's going on. It's unhealthy for you to live in such a negative atmosphere. You deserve so much more than that. Take care and good luck.

First question- Why are you living with your grandparents who you don't get along with and not with your Folks? Secondly- you should go right away to a guidance counselor at your school and let them know what is happening.

Thats really bad and you cannot undergo this abuse for long, please share it with your parents, I am sure if they cannot have you with them for some reason, atleast you can stay in a hostel and study or do whatever you are doing

Well, it seems they aren't being very mature, even though they are grandparents. They should respect your name and you because your family and families aren't suppose to be yelling and arguing all the time. I don't know what you can do because I have never heard of a situation like this one before, sorry. Maybe, you could just do what they say for a few more weeks and maybe they will leave you alone or something.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds really tough. The only thing I can really tell you is that when you are a teen, every horrible thing seems like it will last forever and seems like it is the end of the world. It's only after you've come out the other side of it and moved on that you realize it was only a small, small slice of your life ... and even if it was really crummy, it probably served some purpose. Maybe it will make you stronger. Maybe it will make you a better parent some day because you will be really senstitive to how it feels to be talked to this way. I'm not sure why you have to go through this, but I feel there's a reason. Keep your head down; keep your manners top notch; do what they say as quickly and as best as you can; keep your parents informed of what's happening; and if it somehow gets "out of control" or you have a strange feeling that you fear for your actual safety, then notify the local authorities and have them contact your parents to come back for you. Keep safe. Hang in there.

hi Kid
I am sure you having a hard time with your grandma yelling at you. You are just 15 and its time for you to concentrate in your study.. after a few years you will be 18 years and than its all your world. Do what you like and live life you think is good.
Take care and try to spend more time in school and with your friends.
Good luck

I'm sorry you are living with this. I do not like people yelling at me either so I do not yell at my son. He is better when people treat him nice and not with disrespect. I hope you can talk to your grandparents and tell them how much it hurts you when they make fun of you or yell at you.
Also, I'm confused on why you can't come to San Francisco with your parents. You said because of an earthquake but San Francisco hasn't had any big earthquakes in awhile. I think you should talk to your parents and tell them you want to live with them. I do not know if that will help but that is what I would do.
Good luck!

There are some people with such behaviours and there are no specific reasons for such actions.Sometimes the younger one should behave like elderly one and manager the the people who are called 'grown up' but factually they are nuisance in the family.
It is your elderly people in the family.Try to manage them.You try to listen them whenever it is not harmful to you and once or twice you try to do what they say and see the results.
Or else bring the matter to your parents' notice.

I hate to pry, but first of all why are you not living with your parents? That would be a good piece of information.. To know why you cannot just go live with them.. But no child, grown or younger, deserves to be treated like this by any human. Noone desrves to be told they are worthless, and be made fun of and yelled at daily. That just isn't right. Maybe back when your gm and gp were growing up it was okay but certainly not in this day and age that we live in now.. My suggestion to you is to find some serious help. and maybe tell your gm and gp that they need parenting classses or some serious help to learn the errors of their ways. maybe this will help a little, but I would suggest trying to get out of there asap, because of the severe psycollogical damage that this could cause in your present and future life situations.. Not saying they are bad people, just maybe need some guidance to do what is good and right.. Hope everything goes well for you and good luck finding the help theat you and they both need severely...Because in my eyes that is boarderline abuse..
