Fell and my mom started yelling at me is it normal to fall a lot?

Asked by bitter_sweet_rose (115points) February 4th, 2010

I usually fall a lot like walking up and down the steps or something like that then my mom starts yelling at me and saying “it’s not normal to fall that much! You no how many time I walked up them steps and fell? Zero” Then she goes on and on about how there’s a pill I could take for this and everything. Which is bullshit to me. Anyways after she yells I start crying and she yells at me more saying “its not normal to cry that much!” I hate her. So is something wrong with me? And what should I do about my mom? I never hurt myself so i dont see a problem. Thanks.
yes I have asked her and she can’t give me an answer

Um… your mom is yelling at you because she thinks you might have some kind of disorder? Have you asked her how that is possibly going to help you? Have you spoken to a doctor about your balance?

Many teenagers go through a clumsy phase. It could be an issue, or it could be a normal part of your development.

I expect that she’s trying to get you to focus on whatever it is that you’re doing. She may also be worried that if you are focused, and still having balance and coordination issues such as this, then it could be a serious medical issue. And some people paradoxically mask concern with annoyance.

I think if she really thinks your falling is not mormal, she should take you to a doctor for an examination.

It’s very difficult to answer this without knowing each of you personally, because there are so many ways to interpret the behavior of each. My primary suggestion would be to ask that your mom make an appointment for you with a neurologist to determine if you have an organic reason for falling. I assume that you do not, and after it is proven medically to her that you do not, you will be able better to analyze her behavior.

My guess is that she’s scared. It’s not really normal to fall a lot like that. She is afraid that there’s something physically wrong with you and she yells because she doesn’t know what to do or how to deal with it.

Ask her to set you up with a doctor’s appointment and some tests.
