Well teen mood swings are normal, its a part of growing up, being mad at your parents that is. But if you like Hate Hate them, then that may not be the most normal thing. It depends for how long and how severe you have felt this way.

Any way you feel is normal! Your feelings are always valid! Hate is a very strong emotion, and it's very unlikely you'd feel this way without a reason. Many people have hard relationships with their parents. It's important for you to work out the core of this feeling, why you feel such strong negative feelings for them. Have they mistreated you? Have they been abusive? Have they been neglectful? Once you've identified it, put yourself in their shoes. Did they intend to harm you? Did they know they were hurting your feelings? Have you tried to tell them you feel this way? Create an open dialogue and try to be understanding, but in the end if you feel they are bad for your emotional well-being, that's okay, too. You are allowed to care for yourself and be happy.

I personally don't think it is considered "normal" to hate your parents. There is a reason for the hate towards your parents and it's usually not your own fault when something bad has been done to you.

It is normal to feel strong emotions against anyone whether they are related or not. What's most important is to think and analyze as to why you feel such strong emotions. Maybe a chain of events have led to this state but you haven't had the opportunity to communicate the issue at hand. Communicating your feelings is extremely important whether it is to the parties involved or towards a professional.

i don't know. I hate my whole family. they never understand me and however hard i try its not good enough. quoting my mum: " i am a shallow disappointment" all because i don't read as many books as i used to. think if your parents try to bee good parents than you should forgive them to certain extents.

I wouldn't say that it's normal or abnormal, but you are not obligated to like your parents. Not all families are the same, and you may be in one that is toxic for you. I would suggest communicating with them about your needs and feelings though if you still want to build a relationship with your parents. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding that you may need to work out with them. Best of luck!

Yes. But let me clarify. Hate is not an excuse to kill them, nor is it a legal defense. But all kids I know have hated their parents at one time or another.

Hey, I'm going through a rough time myself with my parents. IDK what to do? it's kind of frustrating, but what helps me is just running and focusing on things I love to do. In my case, that's working out and studying a lot. It just keeps me busy and away from everything. Hope this helps.
