The question is: How do you deal with a problem with another person. Do you try to talk it out? Or be silent and let them come and ask whats wrong? What if the problem is already got out of had before you brought it up.
For a simple example, suppose for weeks your older parent has been walking in your room without knocking, barging in a closed door, doing their BS and leaving. Not that, anything too private is going on, I live in a room provided by my parents. And this continues with other argurments off and on. How would you handle this. Thanks a lot.

They'll never get it most likely. They are probably set in their ways. I'd see if I could move out.

I've thought about living on my own a number of times. But it is not a good idea right now as I do not have permission to work full time. I really wish I knew how to stop being abused. I am the kind of person who is mostly unable to share complains to another person. Complaints or problems, they are more complaints beause they are one-sided and I don't get a respond.
Right now, although I have this room, living in this I have to deal with tantrums. I'm the "an outcast", since all the others get along, 3 others. If I stay out, I have to be either at the mall, libray or school or with a friend, which is getting difficult. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I'm gonna see how it turns out in a week or two, then think about loans to move. It's happened many times b4 but the problem is I can't share/ talk about arguments to others/ or family openly.
