Unless you're under the age of 18, in which case I guess you just have to suck it up and deal with it.Related content

I have to bring up my country again, but in Russia you have to pay for 15 years to get a very cheap, filthy flat which is also absolutely empty. That's why generations of people live in the same flats here.

Um I kinda live here and I know what I'm talking about?? Of course if you were born in a rich family you don't. Your parents will buy you a flat or even a house depending on how rich they are. But 80% aren't that rich. Average salary in Moscow is 40 thousand rubles (600$). The cheapest flat on the outskirts with just one room costs 4 million rubles (61500$). Let's count food and rent expenses. My family pays 7 thousand rubles each month, but we have 50% of the real cost because our granny is a veteran. The real cost would be 14 thousands. There are 4 people in our family, this means rent for one person would be 3500. Together with my boyfriend we spend 5 thousands on food every week. That would mean 7500 on each person per month. Let's subtract that from average salary. The result would be 29 thousands. There are additional expenses like phone, water, medicine, pets etc. The money we can save for buying an apartment would be approximately 20 thousands. We have to save 200 times to get 4 million. We have 12 months in a year, 200/12 = 16. Sixteen years. That calculation only works if you 1) actually earn 600$ per month (many people don't, my mother earns 460$, my father is jobless etc.), 2) no fun allowed (I only counted the essential costs like food and rent, this means no restaurants, concerts, games, electronics etc), 3) if something extremely bad happens like one of your family members die or your current flat will catch fire you will have to spend your money instead of saving them. In my first comment I didn't even count because fifteen years of saving money to get an apartment is like an average knowledge here where I live.

"Unless you're under the age of 18, in which case I guess you just have to suck it up and deal with it."
Tell that to kids who deal with very abusive parents. Yeah you're so funny, shitbag.

If you're going to make a statement like this, I fully expect you to pay for them to move out.

Some people can't afford to just 'move out'.
What drives me up the wall are adults/young adults or whatever, living at home and NOT helping their parents with bills or even simple housework. They're not even looking for a job. Just sitting on the couch all day eating chips and playing video games.Β
Some would rather sit and 'BAAAAAW', than get up and find a job and whatnot.

I'm gonna live with them until I've saved enough to live on my own.

I plan on moving out within the next year or so, the only thing that bothers me about living wiht my parents is most of the time I don't have privacy to record for videos ... I live in a very small house, but it is nice.
π: 0 β©: 0
Agreed, though I am a under eighteen and don't have much of a choice, I intend on staying with my parents for as long as we still respect eachother.
What pisses me off are the teens who bitch about everything their parents do.
They didn't buy you an X-box, a particular colour I-phone or move house just so you could have a bigger bedroom? Then fuck off out of your parents house, stop being a leech to them, get your own house, get a job, pay the rent then buy your necessities THEN buy all those nice things for yourself.

I'm glad that I'm living on my own now. First get a job, and then have enough money to move out and pay rent and other necessities. When you live on your own, you can't buy everything you want. Plus if you do your laundry at your parents' house, you sure have to pay them back those utility bills.

all of your stamps are amazing, and true. ^-^

Well, In my country, We don't move out (Unless your school/college is far away or married someone from a different country)
We still stay in our parents house cause it's our turn to take care of them. ^^ But this stamp is still nice.

Hey, the way I look at it you get free food, clothes, a roof over your head, free tv, internet, bed, bathroom , and the best part is you don't have to pay bills! depends on the parent though, and your age (if your an adult living with your parents then you'll have to pitch in) Now if you lived on your own....then you do.Β

Not everyone over 18 can move out though. They can't afford a house/apartment or food if they don't have a job. It seems a bit insensitive to tell everyone under 18 to "suck it up and deal with it" some people have abusive parents or really bad relationships with their family. I understand what you're saying though, it's kind of annoying when people whine about things like their parents buying them an iphone 4 instead of an iphone 5.

SOOOO true, hell man.
I hate people who continue to bitch and cry about how shitty their parents treat them and whatnot, and on the other hand they are too pussy to just move the fuck out.
I did it. WITH social anxiety, a low self esteem and panic attacks. But I did it.
So theres no reason they wouldn't manage to do it as well.
talking about adult people here, teenies sure have it a little more difficult.. BUT - going to school like forever instead of searching for a job doesn't help either....

I agree some people need to stop whining, like the people 'OMG my mom wont like let me use the computer all weekend, i hate it here" at any age need to shut up...
but i am going to be 20 and i am just getting healthy. I spent years sick and unable to get away, no where to go, Trapped in the house scared of my family, and of being sick for the rest of my life.(now i got shit in gear though)
And its not just like you can roll out of bed and buy a house. Some people grow scared of what would happen if they tried to leave. -such as beatings- And there is not always somewhere for people to go. I can't name one place for a young adult male to go and get help if he feels like moving out would still not be safe.
I;m not looking for pity, or even understanding, im getting shit in gear, Starting my own Business and moving the hell out of this house where people beat me and the cops do nothing. I just want you to understand, The line is never Black, and White, There is Always a Grey area, and this topic makes the biggest one.

Donβt worry, I completely understand your point. I was stuck at my moms hourse for a few years as well until I managed to finally finish my time as a trainee and got a well paid job to be even able to move out. But still, I did it, even if I was scared to my bones and even if I had to feel the bad consequences.
Problem is, many people donβt even try to get out of their beds and do something. You canβt change anything with sitting in your bed and crying about your life. Even if you are scared and ill. I went through all of this and I know how hard it is to beat anxiety and start moving, but the only person whoβs able to help you in this situation is yourself. And if you are not WILLING to change, and prefer to stay in your victim role, everything will get worse with every month and you will get more scared and more taken over by your fear.
I donβt know about the possibilities of where you live, but here in Germany at least there would be a few places for you to go. You could ask your friends to move to their place for a while if you canβt bear your family anymore, I already had a friend over for 3 months until he found his own flat. Sometimes you need to just do stuff, and not worry or fear the consequences. If they donβt know where you are, how should they beat you up? If they beat you up, go to the police because now youβve got a real reason to do so. (At least I hope police at your place at least helps you with wounds from getting beaten up..) Move, act, struggle, and donβt let anxiety take control over you.
I know the line is not black and white, and I perfectly now how you feel when you have to work against somebody you are afraid of. But sometimes, you just need to take all of your courage and do it. But just because I was able to get outta this, I know others can do if they try hard enough. Iβm very happy for you that you seem to manage to get away, and Iβm proud that you take this step! I really hope that everything will turn out fine for you, show them what you got and donβt let anybody take control over your life!

Victim by Genetics, Not choise. I try to get up and do things, and now that i am well i AM doing something.
And i hate to say this but the United states is... fallen.... -not that i have proof it was ever up- until i was 18 there was nothing i could do, i tried going to a shelter and they had to send me home with my parents because "I was not old enough to decide my home was bad" I tried going to the cops, and they would not even look at the bruises on my arms. Because i was "to young" ... I'm still haunted by memories of being slammed in to walls and slapped having my head grabbed and rocked back in to a wall, untill i was 16. and wound up in the hospital... I have 'Lupus' and a for of 'albinism gene' Lupus is hard to deal with and not taking medications made it worse... the albinism just Β roasts me in the sun. and I'm 'lucky' in that department, how ever the genes i have only make me a little ill I meat a girl in the hospital who had the pretty white hair, and pink eyes, i found my self feeling lucky i could go out side at all. I acted i did, i worked hard to get the 'lupus' side effects and damage under control. I take precautions to protect my skin. I move, i Study, work, and try my hardest. And i struggle... but i like to think I'm a stronger Human for it.
And personally I'm proud of you too. And i'm glad to not be alone.Β Β

I love when kids bitch about how "bad" their parents are. They should be grateful they got a roof over their heads, food to eat, clothing, education, etc.
Look at the third world countries you see kids wishing that they had money to feed themselves and their friends. People die from hunger and illnesses every day. They have no health insurance like we do. They don't have the certain resources that they need to live and be healthy like we do.
I'm sorry your mommy spanks you for being naughty and concerning about your safety. I'm sorry your dad grounds you for breaking something. They do it because they fucking LOVE and CARE about you even if you don't like being discipline.
π: 0 β©: 4
Agreed.
But remember people suffer starvation and beatings all over the world, not just the third world countries. I have seen it, People living with no homes and no money. Homeless shelters over filled.
Its good to see you see reality though. It scares me some days how few people acknowledge such tragedies

But I'd rather have wonderful entertainment and no hurt than a roof, food, clothes, and a BORING school! What if all I got as presents was food and clothes? Maybe a scholarship this once.

I agree+disagree with this. I mean, what happens if your parents abuse you and threaten you- A child would be to afraid to say anything :/
π: 0 β©: 2
That's a difference case, no parent should ever threaten their child or beat them till they bruise and bleed. There are kids who would say "I hate my parents for taking away my phone!" or "I hate them for not giving me what I want for my birthday/Christmas/etc."
There are times where some parents would spank their kids to punish them but to go to that extreme where they are beaten senseless is just a big no no in my book.
I hope this clears up some things, I am strongly against child abuse. I just wish the kids that do have it good would not whine about the smallest things that makes them sound very ungrateful for what they have.

It takes time to earn enough money to move out, in the meantime I'm gonna WHINE. So why don't you suck it up and deal with it.

You don't have to whine. Whine to yourself all you want, but don't go boring everyone else with your damn non-existent problems.
