I am a teenage girl.
I have a brother who works very hard in his job. My mother and father are of age 40 and 49. My father lost his job before 3-4 months. My mother is a housewife. My mother and father fights on small matter. But then fight just get turns into a big one. My father is a calm mind. (He always listens, feels bad but never he will scream or shout. He always stays at home, I mean he doesn't go out or doesn't even talk with anyone outsider. Their fight is usual and this all is happening for few months. That's why My dad behaves strange.
My sister is 23. According to her age she is matured enough to understand the situation and handle it but she doesn't behave the way she should. When they fight she tries to explain them, I mean they are already angry and she makes them more annoyed. It is usual.

My exams are nearer. And I need to study harder. But I can't focus on it properly.
It's a hell of kindaa situation for each of us. I and my bro always try to be happy and make them happy! My sis wants to do the same. But many a times she fights a lot. And ITS USUAL!! :(

Thanks for reading it. Regards to you all. Thanks so much. Love you all. And BLESS YOU ALL YOU ARE DOING REALLY A GREAT WORK. :)

Many studies of married couples show that the number one cause of arguments is money. Not in laws, or sex, or affairs - money. It's no surprise that your parents are arguing a lot. They have a lot to worry about and they have too much time together.

I have a feeling that your brother is helping them financially? Your sister should too, if she isn't already. Children in their 20s should not just be sitting at home doing nothing.

Accept the situation for what it is, ask both parents how much you can help around the house, try to continue to do well in school, and you will be doing your whole family a big favor. You are old enough (16?) to be allowed to have a sense of the job market for your father, and what their future holds. It will have an effect on what your plans will be in a few years.

Hold in there! Most of us had parents in some sort of distress and fighting. It seems like forever, I know.

What is your question? We can't make assumptions. We need to know exactly how we can help you.

Is your father looking for a job, or has given up? What is the job situation in your area? (I'm guessing in Asia, maybe India, from the way you write.) Have you told your parents how much their fighting upsets their children? Would your parents agree to a family meeting to discuss all this?

Yes, I am from India! My father isn't looking for job. We won't get time for family meeting. My question is that how should I manage all this. I can't give my full time to family issues. Someone advised me to stay away from the family problems as my study is tough and I would have to give my maximum time to mah studies. And another problem our economic condition is normal but still my bro started spending money for worthless things for family luxuri so it may happen that due to it we have face another financial problems. I hope you all got my question. I don't know how to handle both of thet things properly. Thanks :)

Your priority is to get through school a deal with the things that are important and you have control over. For sure your failure at school would hurt not only you, but your family, so focus greatly on your studies and let your family members workout their own frustrations between them.

Got a library or a quiet place to study? Separate the two study/family issues and put your energy into the studying. Its a tough challenge for sure, but you must FOCUS.

I agree with tal, I know it's a lot happening around you and In India the studies pressures are already there specially if you are at 10th or 12th. Like other said, find a calm place like a coffee shop, if ist available, library is a very good idea, and please keep yourself away from those fighting whenever you can, till you complete your exams and its going to help you and ultimately your family, when you'll have good marks->good job->good salary->. That's how you can help your family rather then getting worried about them. :)
All the best for your studies.

Totally agree with the wonderful advices served. Somehow you need to concentrate, study and get superb grades. Once you land a respectable job, you'll see how your family problem disappears. It is one hard truth of life that.. Money = Happiness..
Doesn't matter what all we get told and see in movies and novels.. the bigger picture is that.. money can buy you happiness.. :)
