    It is normal to think so because when I was a kid, at certain points I used to think so too. If your parents are comfortable and not abusive, you can discuss this issue with your parents. If not, do not let this become a problem in your maintaining a good relationship with them. If you think about it too much, you might lose your confidence. At least, once in a while try to do things which your parents might appreciate. Good luck :)

    I used to think that way too, I figured they were probably very disappointed in me and probably just didn't like me and I certainly did not think they could be counted on at all, for anything of any significance. However, recently I have talked this over with them and it seems that I was off base on this even though I was so sure about it. Sometimes people think this but it isn't always true.

    I feel the same, I think that my Mom hates me ever since I was a child, It's still happening until now I'm 21... I just learned to deal with it and just let her be. Just know in your heart that you've done nothing wrong and just go your own way. Haters will be haters but I still love her though, i just don't share some things happening in my life with her. It's sometimes sad but, God made us all different and we just need to respect each other.

    Stay strong and Gob bless you... :)

    I only voted yes because I've been there but I didn't think it was normal. It can be true sometimes but more often than not it isn't true.

    It's very normal to believe that, and sometimes also right. It's quite an issue when you are growing up. In time you may make you peace with that and it may stop hurting you. Or not. It's in you.

    I asked my mom why dad treated my older brother nicer than me. She answered, "It's because he doesn't like you.
    Soooooo why not ask?

    Hard to say... I don't know your parents, but I agree with hoi_polloi. If you're wrong you should be able to talk about this feeling with your parents.

    Maybe they are frustated because of problems that have nothing to do with you. Good people are often fast to blaim themselves.

    Also know that it's not your responsibility to be good enough for your parents. If at all it's the other way around.
