what i mean is can i say my own opinion for example i was on my laptop and suddenly my charger stopped working and my power bar started flashing red so i asked my dad to have a look at it and he said things never least with you Alex (im 14 by the way). Then im like it probably wasnt even my fault then he said you got no respect for me and your stuff i didn't no what to say so i just walked off and said no comment then he goes yeah no comment because your a 14 year old boy and im the adult when he said that to me it was like i was just some dirt on the road. So is there a law or something that i can say my opinion even tho im 14 does age really matter? in school I've been tort that you have the right to say what you like. Any ideas?
 
You can say anything you like to him. He can also take away every thing you own and not let you out of the house except to go to school.
 
You need to ask your father to sit down some time and the two of you should have a heart-to-heart talk. I don't mean at a time when he's already mad at you. You should tell him that it bothers you sometimes when he blames you for things and is disrespectful to you. You should tell him that you want to be able to confide in him but he makes it hard for you. Choose your words carefully. Do not be rude or accusatory, just be honest.

Is there a law that allows you to blow up at your father? Well, no. It wouldn't get you anywhere anyway...

It's not your laptop, it's his. He paid for it and for the electricity to run it. He pays the rent or mortgage for the space you occupy.
He owns the air you breathe. As a minor you are totally under his control. If you get out of control, he can send you to military school, a boot camp or to a foster home. You would be wise to keep that in mind.
 
You do have the right to say what you want. You also have the right to take the consequences, which could include LOSING that nice laptop, losing access to the internet, your TV, your Xbox and Playstation, losing the right to leave the house.

Once you're 18, you have the right to move out, then he won't bother you any longer.
 
you need to go out get a job, get your own home pay your own bills and lock him out Being you live off of him-try and understand.
 
you have the right to say what you want....but make sure it is respectable and appropriate....remember this is your dad, and you only have one of him, and you will have more computers...k

also, getting things out is healthy for you, so do it, but be appropriate
