Now, before I explain you this story, just know that I know it's wrong to scream at peers, especially at my age (I'm a teen) but it's bound to happen if you don't have a good relationship with your parents.

So for a bit of context, I have a lot of sleeping problems, which is abnormal for my age. Like I mean A LOT of sleeping problems, I stay up at nights just watching my ceiling. I've tried not using any electronics 30 minutes before bed yet nothing works. I also experience occasional illusions, mostly by hearing but sometimes they're visual.

My parents won't let me have anything that would help me sleep (like melatonin) because "sleep should be natural". So weeks ago, I hadn't had a single second of shut eye no matter how hard I tried (it was also related a bit to my issues at school and the stress my parents were putting on me) , so I when I got out of my bed at 5 am after noticing that I won't have enough time to sleep anyways I had this raging headache, which slowly made its way to my stomach, making me rush to the bathroom to vomit.

I knew something was wrong so I took a warm shower to pass some time and when my parents finally woke up, I asked my mom if I could stay at home and (without surprise) told me no. I told her what happened in the morning and the fact that I hadn't slept at all and she told me that it's probably my electronics. I argued that all my electronics (phone, iPad, laptop, hell even my watch) were downstairs and that I used my Alexa for alarms.

Then she came to the conclusion that it was entirely because of my scholar problems and grounded me when I refused to tell her my problems?? She told me that she had the right to know as my parent so that she could help me with this and I strongly expressed the fact that I'm old enough to deal with my own problems and that she had to accept the fact that I don't always need her help.

She ended up sending me to school and giving me a punishment of 2 weeks (no going out and no electronics except for supervised time on my computer for school work) and when I threw up again, at school, the nurse told me to go home. So I did. And my mother was NOT happy.

She called me melodramatic and told me that it wasn't such a big deal and that if it really mattered that much, then I should tell her about my on going problems. I snapped and told her that she was my only current problem and that she should leave me alone (I didn't swear so I'm proud of myself for that), to which I then stormed up to my room and barricaded myself in, not letting my mother speak to me.

That night, I skipped dinner (I'm pretty sure my mother didn't make any for me anyways) and the following day, I skipped school entirely, starving myself out while refusing to leave my room in an attempt to protest. (I'd like to note that I've starved myself in the past before so this wasn't something new.)

On the third day, I finally left my room, and by that point it was already Saturday so yeah. My mother was so mad at me that she refused to talk to me and I had to go out and buy myself a quick something to eat like a sandwich. My father and sister told me that what I did was wrong and that even if I'm a teen, I shouldn't have screamed at my mother.

AITAH??
