Who can you turn to when your parents frequently discourage you ?

When your parents frequently discourage or dismiss you, you can turn to any mature or adult figure around you. If there are any teachers who have been kind to you, or who have understood you, those are good people to turn to. If you are close to any few relatives, those could be good people to be in contact with. A family friend could always help, or even an older sibling, perhaps a friend's older sibling. As well, a school counselor would most likely be willing to talk to you if you go to them. Any role model you feel comfortable talking to should be able to help :)

It can be disheartening to find support when your parents frequently discourage you. I know the feeling very well. Usually when my parents discourage me, I try to seek support online from friends from maybe video games, different interest forums, and I have made a few friends on 7cups of tea that I can turn to for encouragement. I recommend reaching out to people who are constantly on your side and turning to them rather than your parents. It may even be a good idea to limit what you tell your parents to avoid being discouraged by your parents.
