3. Seek Help. There are quite a lot of counsellors that you can talk to. Talk to one today and let such individual lead you in the way to go. A life coach, your teacher—anyone who will listen to you can actually help.
4. Shield yourself from hearing everything. You don’t have to reply every word you hear your family members say. Keep quite at times and listen instead of talking back angrily.
5. Accept your parents or family member’s limitations. You can’t actually help somethings. Just leave them, let them be and with time they will surely adjust.
