My parent discourages me from expressing my emotions. How can I vent?

Journaling is a great way to get your feelings out. It can also help you understand yourself more. Over time you'll see patterns in your thinking and that can help you make adjustments.

This website is exactly for this purpose. The purpose of this website is actually to help people who want help, that too anonymously. On here, one can talk to trained listeners and cope with life. :)

7 Cups of Tea is obviously a good example of a non-bias place that you can vent, or seek help from siblings, extended family, close friends and school/local counselors. Another option is to call a help hotline; Kids Helpline is a private and confidential helpline for people aged 5 to 25 on 1800 55 1800. Give them a call!

I agree with DOVAH, diaries are the best to vent, because you are venting anonymously and it you are tracking your progress, what makes you happy sad etc

here! everyone is welcome to vent here at 7Cups of Tea! Doesn't matter what it's about, if you need to vent, we've got listeners for it!

Write, write, write! In journals, write stories, write poetry, anything. You can also try excercise to burn energy and calm down.

Do something that you love. I've found that it works really well with me. I enjoy writing, rreading, piano and physical activities. Depending on which emotion you're feeling, you can do different things: Feeling Angry- cook, do boxing Feeling Stressed- play music instrument (piano, vocals, guitar, drums, violin etc.), write in a journal/diary/book Feeling Sad- write, listen to music., go for a run, read

Write in a journal make a vent account on instagram try going on a walk try to talk to your parents emotions are normal and should not be discouraged.

There are a lot of different ways that you can 'free' these emotions that you've been suppressing. Talking to another family member or a friend who is willing to listen can help, or alternatively, finding a listen on 7 Cups is another way to find relief. Sometimes you might not even need another person to talk to - you can find emotional relief in activities you enjoy and exercise. :)

Understand why is this the case. Maybe your parents need you to express your emotions differently (if you are too honest, too critical) just try managing the situation differently. If the reason is your parents not wanting to hear your emotions there is an issue since you are allowed to have feelings and you have the right to express them. There are ways as a diary, many art forms, friends or siblings. Try to find what works best for you.
