Earlier today, i was listening to some songs by Skillet and my mother kept on telling me,
"Listen to a happy song. You can't listen to songs that are about self-destrustion, death, sadness,etc."
but what she doesn't know is what i was trying to do. I was merely trying to get her attention and more care, because i'm the one child out of a family of six that gets the least understanding, the leasts hugs,trust, and even freedom. My family is trying to change me:my looks, my intelligence, my obsession (im quite the otaku), and other important things in my life. So, i put on the lyric video so that it could fit the whole screen and so that she could see the words, but she didnt even have the slightest clue. She just said that same thing...over and over again. and once when i was little and claimed to have imaginary friends, she almost took me to psychiatrist to get me out of playing with my stuffed animals. Even today, when ever she sees my favorite stuffed animal (a blue elephant named Peanut), she tells me that im too old for stuffed toys and she takes him away, although i do sneek him back cuz i cant sleep without him...ha im such a child.
What im trying to say is, Does your family try to change who you are, mostly because of your music, because my family does. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong tab. It's mostly because she heard the type of music that i had listened to as a young child. again...sorry...and if u have advice, id really appreciate some...

Well, I'm Chinese, so when I told my parents I liked J-pop and anime and requested to go take Japanese as a language, they tried to stop me and told me how bad Japan as a country was. But I didn't blame them, because they grew up in a different generation with different values, and I think this might be the case with your parents. For example, they may not have listened to that kind of music when they were young, so they may tend to believe that it is a ''bad influence'', since it is something new to them. And I think it is natural that parents may try to change their children according to what they think suits best, because they want their children to resemble them and their beliefs. I'm sorry if my advice is bad, but finding some time alone with them would be crucial. You need them to understand you, since you are being the least understood.
