  • I got a 26% and frankly, I'm not surprised. My mum is harsh and strict, whenever I go on my tablet or phone for just 2 minutes she always finds an excuse to get me off of it, Such as feeding the pets for the 8th time or getting something. Whenever I do something wrong she yells and doesn't tell me on how I coukd improve and will just act like I don't exist for the rest of the day. My dad is fine but when he comes home after my mum has yelled at me she will tell him all about her side of the story and completely ignore my feelings, then my dad will be mad at me too. I've cried way more than I should and spend most of my time in my bedroom after especially bad yellings, I have thought about running away at least every other day. I hat my mum's harsh attitude, she never thinks about my feelings or my side of the story, she is always right and I am always the naughty kid. When i start to cry I get called sensitive and a crybaby. I am legitimately terrified of her and when I've just been yelled at and she walks away, I don't know what to do, she'll just dismiss my apology and If I do nothing she'll get even angrier

    • Dont worry im the opposite i get good grades but my parents just think of me as just the smart child they blame me for things i never did and when my siblings need help and im busy they tell me to help them if i dont listen theyll scold me. ive been wwaiting for a phone for years and even my birthday doesnt feel like one because it was never celebrated like a birthday. My parents treat me like this all the time and tbh im old enough to have a gadget but i didnt get one a few days ago cuz my bday was a few days ago i didnt get anything unlike my older bro he got a ps4 last year because of me and my siblings begging my parents to buy him a ps4 and he got it but when my lil sis kept begging my parents to buy me phone it didnt happen but its fine my life will always be like this anyway.

    • I am on the exact opposite end as you. My mom does the same thing except I am the one that gets everything. I know I should not be sad about that, but I have to listen to my mom and sis scream in the other room almost every day.i am not saying that your situation isn't worse, but maybe your siblings understand what's happening but just don't know an escape. If I get angry it makes it worse, if I cry my mom blames my sis for it. if I just leave they think the walls are soundproof and start yelling even louder. I just don't know what to do to help anything anymore.

  • lmao I got 7% and I found it pretty accurate, my parents are always bad mouthing about me, only cares about how much I score, only worry about their feelings, they're such narcissists they always make everything about themselves.The most annoying part is they think they're right NO.MATTER.WHAT. They demand attention 24/7 and don't even respect my boundaries. They're so full of ego that they've never said sorry, let that alone they never even accepted their faults they try to validate it or generalize it. They would yell at me so harshly when I was little till now that I developed a very terrible anxiety issues, it just hurts I feel like crying seeing others with their parents being happy and having a great time, but yeah.

  • I got 0 percent and honestly wasnt even surprised im an immigrant and at every little thing my parents threaten to send me back to my home country.I live in constant fear of having everything I love taken from me for any reason. My parents yell at me and act like they want to hear my opinion but if i dare say a word tjey get even angrier or if I dont say anything they still get angry. Either way its a lose lose situation. I can't wait till college because I can finally move out and get away from them.

  • I did the quiz twice once for each parent like someone in the comments did and I got 9% for my mom and 0% for my dad and honestly it sounds about right, my father only cares about my grades and constantly tells me I'm a failure and my mother doesn't care about my grades and puts me down when I tell her how I feel, one time when I told my parents I was suicidal my mom yelled at me for not being grateful and that other people have it worse and that I'm selfish, and my father just ignored it and a few months later told me that in europe in the middle ages there were fanatics that self harmed to feel closer to got and told me I was as stupid as then and made fun of me even though I don't believe in any god and I self harmed because I wanted my parents to notice my pain and they didn't notice until I told them a year later. So yeah pretty accurate quiz

  • my score was 4% and it is pretty accurate for me.I think my parents are manipulative ,controlling ,possessive ,bad mouthing and distant from me.We never have verbal communication or solve a problem by talking it out.They expect me to do everything perfectly and boast of my talents to their friends.If I am unable to satisfy them ,they tell me how I don't actually do anything with my own merit but it's always because they intervene and save the day.They demand attention constantly and if I do not respond well to their demands they can turn violent and hit me.They turned off data in my phone so I can't use the internet and make sure I don't have any other online outlet like an sns.Besides all this,I'm always forced to be at home.There is usually no respect for my feelings ,privacy and personal space.I get treated like a piece of garbage and I know there's nothing I can do about it because I can't afford help or therapy.Its basically a taboo to talk badly about parents here because they raised you and you are their personal belonging.

  • Can I just say that being homosexual is not a choice, and should not be treated as such. It is how you were born, and no one would CHOOSE to walk into a world where they would be criticized for who they are. I don't exactly think that this was a matter of ignorance, just a lack of understanding. I know this could possibly offend people who struggle with sexual identity and would want the last question to be changed.

    • Thank you for saying this, I noticed the same thing and found it quite offensive. My parents know I'm queer and accept it but they also know that it is not a choice and the phrasing of the final question and answers was not done well. I'd also like to point out that the only two options for gender were male and female, which are not the only genders.

    • Im sorry, but @Rainbow Lee we are trying to stand up for ourselves. I am someone who is both queer and on the non-binary spectrum, and think YOU are the one who needs to literally get over it. You comment put our community down, and we would appreciate it if you either supported us or just left us alone. Although we understand the creator may be uneducated, we are merely bringing to their attention that they have incorrect information that could be improved on their quiz. Thanks for your time, and have a good life.

  • 0%...kinda makes sense. They never listen to what I have to say and think the only way for me to be a perfect child is to take away every good thing/ escape that I have. They make me feel so trapped. And then after we argue They act like nothing happened and expect me not to talk about it. I even developed general anxiety and social anxiety because of my childhood and the extremely terrifying things Ive seen happen with them and each other or my siblings.

  • 0% Nice, not at all surprised with the way they pile responsibility on me and blame everything on me, even if they are the ones making the decisions, they will still always say that its my fault and now that Im older I should understand better. Yet they treat me younger than I actually am, and also throws out the fact (many times, at least 4 times a week) that Im overweight and ugly and useless and no one cares about me, talking about how my friends are all gonna leave me because of my physical appearance. My hobbies like video games, music, and reading and other indoor hobbies they hate me for, talking about how its all useless and I should exercise and do sports more so I wont look so fat. Also talking about how exercising and doing sports apparently helps me socialize and make friends (like I totally dont have like, 10) and criticizing me all the time, talking about how low my grades are and that I need to make it to one of the Ivy League Colleges (My averages are about 97) or else I wont be happy and rich and instead Ill be poor and sad.

  • 23%? My mother would kill me if she found that out, but to be fair I don't think she's bad personally... but the quiz says otherwise. She gaslights me and guilt trips me (things I recently found out) so maybe it shouldn't be shocking but I'd hate to have othr think she's bad...bad? I cry anytime she says ANYTHING critical to me and I can't even control it, she just talks so mean and accusatory, she makes me panic and flinch. I don't want to cry but the tears and sobs just racket me.

    • I have the same reaction... I didn't know I was so weak, and my mom always told me that they were 'crocidile tears' or just for attention. Is that bad parenting though? I really shouldn't be crying at that. Shouldn't I be able to control My emotions? I don't want to be selfish but I don't know what to think of my mom.

  • I got 0%. The thing is, they act super nice and friendly when I'm not talking and don't notice when I leave the room, but when I say something they immediately start to yell at me and they say 'I don't like the tone of your voice' or even 'I hate your voice' and other similar phrases. Every day they end up yelling at me at least once. It's not like they don't love me, it's just that they are in bad moods sometimes for no reason. They don't have work one day, and I bring my math homework they have assigned to me over the summer because I have a question and suddenly I'm hit with; 'why are you so stupid?' Or 'shut up' or even 'this is so simple, why don't you understand?'. This has been happening since I was eight when I couldn't achieve something in a sport I am about to quit. I don't know what to do.

  • I got a 4% which doesn't surprise me at all. My mom makes me cry every day and only apologized for it rarely, when she does she brings u how 'lazy' I am, & how I only care about myself and no one else. She lectures me days on end along with shouting at me. She takes my phone and it results in me not having from anywhere from 3-5 months. My grades aren't good and rather trying to help me and talk things through. She constantly goes through my mobile devices. Last night she woke me up and started yelling at me for having a passcode on my phone. Parents ig

  • I got a 0% but I don't think this is entirely true, while yes there are times where they're good/nice to me, but overall most of the time they don't care about what I like to do, and intentionally give me things to do to take my time away from me, and it's the most trivial things that they could do instead, especially when they're just sitting on their asses all day doing basically nothing, and now in moderation that is a good thing, for teaching responsibilities and what not, and if that's their reasoning, then I don't disagree, but I don't 100% agree either, I'd say my score should've been more of a 10-15% at most, bc my parents don't respect my decisions for anything and yet they wonder why I'm always annoyed/mad with them, they don't care about how I feel and whenever I do something that they don't like, whether by accident or not, they don't ever bother to see which one it was, and when they're mad about something that has nothing to do with me, they yell at and punish me, a lot of the time through physical contact, which can range from a simple slap to an outright beating

  • i have 0% .. yes .. i mean i am not really surprised i had a boring and strict childhood but my parents were there at the start but after i was about 7 they weren't there for I had to learn by myself and my sisters, I always think about my future when I'm only 14 !!! I should be outside exploring the world, having fun and living my life as a main character but no .. I take care of everyone but not enough for myself, I have to cry to go to sleep sometimes , in fact i'm well enough i don't have to complain i have a roof over my head, something to eat, sleep in a comfortable bed .. but i just want some attention for once. When I "accidentally" broke my shoulder when I was between 5 and 8 years old (I can't remember) for once I felt like I was surrounded with a family. as soon as I returned to college for the first time I lost a lot of friends and I don't want to work because in the end it is useless to know all this because we all die one day or the other and it will be useless. My parents believe that all this is just whims when I feel full of things that I had to learn to hide over time, I have a lot of angers issues and they believe that it is because I am not not raising well while guess what? it's you who didn't bring me up sometimes I don't feel any more but it's good to talk about it from time to time i just wanna go out in the rain and run around with my bestfriend and just laugh till I can't breathe and just be so happy and it never end.

  • I got a 0% my dad thinks he is always right and super strict but that's not what gets me im 13 so put that into perspective hormones and ect but what gets me is that what i want to do with my life. i want to be a youtuber i have never told him till tonight when my nana was there so he would not over the top and he got very mad he said it was not a career ok maybe depending who you are but it's what i want to do with my life there is also other stuff but one step at a time i love youtube and gaming well i am not aloud to watch youtube because of content witch i have only looked at one bad thing but i'm smart so i know how to bypass it. and he is also very strict i am not aloud on a dives for more than one hour he has a normal time limit but im not aloud a gaming system when i feel like i have done everything he has ask for he says im not aloud a gaming system because he used to be addicted and not what i have done ok sure but you can't yell at me and say im addicted for being on a device for ONE hour and ask for a lest 30 more minutes once when i did something when i was a i think 7or8 i did something bad i don't know what but the only thing i can remember from that day is him saying you make my life a living hell and you fing b*tch i try not to think about that stuff because it make me depressed. the only thing i cant think of of why he is like this is when he was a kid he wanted to be a baseball player but when he could have gone to college his dad/my grandpa said no your going to party and not focus on school so he was denied his dream and i think deep in side without him knowing he holds a grug and the only way of getting it out is throw me.

    • Mine was 5%, I am literally called their and I quote,"bubble-baby" and I hate it. I was given two instruments (obviously I play them) and they told me that if I practice my violin and flute for fifteen minutes each, (now he wants me to do 30 each) then read four chapter's of a book I'm not naming, I can have thirty minutes of game time and freaking ten minutes of youtube kids! Also, I have parental controls, so my phone doesn't unlock until 2:00 pm, and it locks at 10:00 pm! And he locks my phone on a daily basis even though I did nothing wrong. And finally the most horrid (I'm not british I'm just using large vocabulary) thing which literally scarred me for life-- he used to spank me. Yeah ik ik no biggie u think but what he started to do is (also I'm not even allowed to be on the internet which includes this, google) he would.... Pull... My.. pants down and whip me with a belt... Until it bruised... Very,very hard... Which I'd say can bruise based on how hard he hits me, 5? Somewhere in that range, and I'm not even allowed regular messenger, I'm only allowed stupid messenger kids! Which I'm only allowed 1 hour on.and btw I'm 13!!! Which means I have a long way to go if I'm ever going to get out of this prison.and if my parents found out I'm on this, I'd be dead meat.. which means probably twice the amount of whipping, and the worst thing is, it's all legal for them to do this stuff, at least i think.

  • I got 0% and Im not really surprised. My parents fatshame me (Im 110 pounds). This has caused my siblings to follow and call me fat. Im going through puberty since Im 13 and there are very little pimples on my face. I have the small type of pimples and about 6 of them. My parents complain about my face and compare them to people on tv or on their phone and to my siblings who still havent reached puberty and therefor have no pimples on their faces. Moreover, when I choose a more relatable comparison, like classmates or my neighbor, they yell and lecture me for comparing my self to others. This happens to with my grades. Im in 8th grade and Ive always had an A and A+ average as my grades and has never gotten below an A-. Yesterday my mom told me that As werent even good and that A+ is good. Meanwhile, my siblings have Bs and are being encouraged to make that into an A-, A, and A+. And when I compare myself to my siblings grade wise or any other way wise, they yell and lecture me. When my siblings bother me (Ex: Were in a car and my sister starts to open her legs and take up the space and I get mad at her), I am told that Im a bad sister and that I should let them as that doesnt hurt me. However, it gives me pushover vibes and I hate that. I also have anger issues, something that my dad has. My dad also hits me and my siblings as disciplinary actions, but he underestimates his own strength. This has made me prone to physically hitting someone out of anger. Now when my parents stand near me and make a fast movement, I would flinch and move out of the way. And whats sad is they dont understand their wrongdoings. when I try to talk to them, they get mad at me for blaming them for nothing. I have a teacher that lets the students be on their phones. My classmates would text their parents. But it makes me want to cry when I see them texting their parents like their parents are like their best friend. I really shouldnt be jealous but I am cuz my texts with my parents are stri

  • %14 I'm not sure what I was expecting this house is really boring and toxic. me and my brother are always in our room we don't like spending much time with our parents it feels like I'm being attacked everytime I do. I can't open up to either of my parents and they barely know who I am. I barely know them. Growing up they never encouraged me doing anything they don't believe in me if anything they only lower my self esteem. I was born for a selfish reason my mom was abused by her narc manipulative mom and tbh those traits have leaked out on her i only exist pretty much to give her a sense of meaning and impress her mom i cant think of any other reason. I'm not saying they're the worst parents of all time I just don't feel like I belong anywhere especially not with them I definitely don't feel secure

  • I got 18% and honestly am not surprised. My dad has serious anger issues since his father was verbally abusive growing up and he a really dysfunctional family. It's always his way or the highway no in between. He makes me feel, dumb, stupid, and like I can't do anything right. If I say something that offends him or am on my phone for too long he blows up. He'll count to ten yelling the numbers really fast. If I don't get to my room in time he'll chase me up the stairs grab me and drag me to my room. He'll proceed to shove me against the wall and start screaming in my face. One time things got so bad he put his hands around my neck and tried to strangle me. Lately, he's always in a bad mood and just one little thing will set him off. He hasn't been in the best of sorts since he lost his job due to his poor health and is trying to recover. My mom, also, is stressed out by this and every little thing she doesn't like that I do, she'll lecture me for hours. If I try and get her to stop she'll get more and more annoyed and keep going. Eventually, she'll drag my dad into it and my dad will explode from our arguing. She also blames me for not having good enough communication and that if I did we wouldn't argue and keep having these problems. Yesterday, I remember getting in the car from a retreat after school and I forget we were supposed to take this other girl home. We haven't driven her in awhile and I had forgotten. My mom started flipping out and asking where she was. I told her I wasn't sure and I was sorry. She proceeded to tell me I only care about myself and I don't think about anyone else. She said wanted to get home and threatened to not drive me home the next day.

  • Both my mom and dad are terrible. It's been a hard time as a teenager for me. They both always find ways to insult me. Seriously because of them I am suffering from anxiety . They both have snatched away my phone from me and they let me study for atleast 14 hours. And not do anything else. No matter how much I study it is always less for them. They have also distanced me from my grandparents. What to do I can't talk to my grandparents. I have to bear it all with them. O God give me power.

  • I got a 4% and I'm just disappointed. My mom currently has my phone set so If I even have it open it goes off after 30 minutes. This makes it hard for me to be able to contact my choir instructor and do my classwork on my phone. Ever since I became a teenager my mom has bashed punishment after punishment for things I've done or not done. Not too long ago she got mad at me for not cleaning up after my sister when I just woke up to get ready for school. I understand her getting frustrated that I had clothes on my bedroom floor but I'm not in charge of my sister and her clothes. And yesterday my mom was getting upset that I wasn't talking or just looking serious when we went out for my great grandmother's birthday.

  • I got 20%. It's mostly my dad that is the I guess you could say toxic one.He always has something for me to improve one and something I should do better which makes me feel bad about myself.He also makes fun of me with "jokes".My mom on the other hand is a pretty kind women.But she is very moody a lot and has said some "opinions" on me wanting to be transgender. Idk I don't really talk to my parents because they always have something to complain about me.

  • I got You think your parents are 0% good to you

    Your relationship with your parents seems to be very bad. You think they don't care about you, or that they mind their own business more, but you should know that a child is a parent's biggest treasure. If your parents are harsh, maybe you should try to calm things down a bit. I know it's not your fault, but maybe you can go talk to them and tell them why you don't agree with their way of behaving with you.

    It was supposed to be my grandmother because my parent divorced when I was like 3 years old

  • I got 0%, which seems impossible, but for me it's a sad reality. I have bad relationships with my mother for last 3 years. She seems to care more for her three dogs (YES, three) than her only male son. When I shared something that I have achieved in school, she just ignores me, but when I had a fight with a teacher, she immediately intervenes and berates my past behaviour, not caring if I was right or wrong, just to save her reputation. I constantly daydream of suicide or escaping from her, but I have no materials for suicide nor a place to hide. I just want to die ASAP.

    • Don't kill yourself. This is a saying me and my siblings are saying untill it happens,"One day we'll all be free to live our lives the way we dream." Or," ODWABFTLOLTWWD." I have had lots of thoughts about running away. The best way to do it is give them coffee or their tea, hug them say "I love you" try to be funny even though your really sad or depressed.

  • 0% Sounds correct to me. I got Leukemia as an adult and lost everything. Moved in with them. Hard to appreciate it from mental, emotional abuse. Probably could go to physical like when I was little.

    Me loosing everything is my fault!!! They treat me like I'm waiting attention!WOW! But hey, I'm not homeless Find the Blessings where you can. God bless

  • My Dad is super nice. My mom hates me. My mom yells at me for things like her own business that I have no clue it even exists! My mom doesn't care about my side of any story at all. Then she gets my dad on her side. I wish I could live with my BFF. I'm fact,maybe I will...anyway,my mom is super mean.She makes me want to cry. I can't cry,because that gives my parents more power. But I'm stuck with them until I can leave for college. That's a lot of time to wait. I try to avoid my parents.I know that they secretly hate me or they use me to show me off. I've been the top of the class in all the time I've been to school,but my parents don't even care. I hope your parents are better than mine. Bye!

    • This quiz is oriented towards teenagers, and it should be more general to all ages. Not only teenagers have problems with their parents, and it isn't partially the teenagers fault either that they don't have a good relationship. The majority of times it's the parents. This should be merely focused on judging the parents competence in being educators and the final results should show that, not give tips as trying to convince the alleged teen to make up with them. Just saying.
