Why do my parents always seem to get so angry with me, even when I am working hard and trying to do the right thing?

You can try sitting your parents down and talking to them to ask them why. It could be because of unresolved issues or simply issues at work that are brought home.

Because somehow they are feeling powerless anyways. It may not be within your power to prevent it. You are responsible for your own emotions, and no one else's. Note that other people may get angry even when you do the right thing. You may want to consider reading the book Boundaries, and the book Mercury's Child, because often people that get angry at others and seem to want to make it other people's job to prevent or to control their anger often act like the children that the book Mercury's Child is meant to work for. If getting angry gets them what they want, I don't see why wouldn't they get angry. So anytime that they want something, and they are not getting it, why not get angry? Now, if only kindness and politeness will work, then there is reason for change. Even if the request is reasonable, anger must not work.

I believe that parents seem to get so angry with children even when they are trying to do the right thing, is because they want the best for their kids. They push for their kids to do, and be the best they can be. And sometimes that can come of as anger. And sometimes it IS anger. But you have to understand they are probably trying to express the way the actually feel, and as a parent that can be very hard.

They believe that you can do better in life and not end up how they did. They have goals set for you in life and feel like you should meet everyone they come up with . Like the others have said talk to them and show off what has made you really happy and proud.

As long as you are content with your efforts and what you are doing you are doing your best. Have you explained to them what you are doing and how hard you are working? Maybe, if they understood what you do, they'd appreciate the result a lot more? A bit like a painting. If you see what goes into the masterpiece, all the brushstrokes and colour blends, you start to see so much more detail in the final piece and it becomes so much more fascinating and brilliant? Hang in there, you can do it!

They are projecting their ego onto you. You are their child therefore their desires are also built-in into you hence when you work hard, they don't see themselves as it. They don't see you as who you are. When you try to do the right thing they think you are shattering their projections hence they get angry with you. This is how they are supposed to care for you.

Because they are your parents. They want whats best for you, even if it seems sometimes they are bullying you in a sort of way. When you get older and (might) have kids you will do the same for them. Without even realizing it.

It's hard to understand the struggles a parent goes through until you are put in their shoes. The anger may not be directed at you but is just let out towards you. It's always good to remember that it is extremely difficult having the responsibility of a family and more times than often, a parent does not show the full extent of their problems

Well, try to talk them and tell them that you are feeling pressured. Your parents want the best of you, they want you to be successful in your life. Parents are in this world to protect us and help us so they want you to be successful in your life
