text: how do i tell my dad to stop yelling at me when i screw up (i do that alot) and that it hurts me? avice from anyone who has it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 just to let you know.. parents tend to do that a lot when your growing up, because they love you and don't want you to have a hard life. your dad probably does that because he wants you to grow up to be a responsible, outstanding human being. if it hurts you let him know what you feel, and he will understand... he has to when you tell him how you honestly feel, let him know you are a kid and your not perfect! tell him you out of all people deserve respect!!!
