Why I got my guitar and well... EVERYTHING taken away.

Sorry that I didn't explain this earlier.

Anyway, last school year was a bad one for me. All of the things that my grandparents did made me very upset and started to mess with my head. I started to drift away from focusing in school and started to do other things. On the last day of school, I found an old HTC One M8 that my grandpa used to use. I snuck it to school so that I could be on GBATemp. (We had already turned in our Chromebooks)

When I got home, I snuck it to my room and kept it for a few months.

But, I made the mistake of using my grandma's Wi-Fi hotspot to talk to my friends VIA Gmail. She noticed that an Android device was connected to her hotspot and then she instantly blamed me. I don't like to lie... so I admitted that I took the HTC and she yelled at me. She yelled for my grandpa and he came up to my room. She took my guitar and handed it to him and said, "If you give it back to him, I will break it!"

So, he took it downstairs to his room and since that day... I haven't gotten it back.

I lost ALL trust from my grandparents.

I also don't get the car that is in the garage anymore. (That is the 1983 Buick Skylark)

So... yeah... I messed up.... but I was also mad at them for breaking my stuff. A $200 phone is nothing compared to 2 3ds systems, all the games, and a computer.

I was a STRAIGHT A student before moving to my grandparent's house. I am not kidding. If I could show you records I would.

I think talking to the school counselor as @MichiS97 said is a good place to start. Not sure how much they can help but they can at least offer some advice. The thing is, as long as your grandparents aren't physically harming you, you probably aren't going to be taken seriously.

@TotalInsanity4 Right, I'm sure if he were a straight A student his grandparent's would still be breaking his electronics.../sarcasm

First off I'm a father of 3 and by the sound of it I'm the only adult (who's raising a family) that's giving advice here.

Secondly you don't try "just talking" as if that's something you do once to see if it works.
Talking to your grandparents is the only way you're going to reach and agreement. This may take 1 day or many months. They need to feel like you're actually committed to changing your ways. What you can do is prove it to yourself and to them. How about you tell them you're going to improve your grades on the next report and actually do it? They're not going to change their attitude until they see actual change in you.

My parents are seperated. They are both drug addicts. I haven't talked to either of them quite some time.
 
I'm sorry @comput3rus3r but if you think that if - even if it was because of grades - destroying your kids property as a means of terrorizing them into shape is in any way a good parenting tactic, then I am truly both sorry and worried for your three children

As I said before on this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/nevermind.516628/page-2#post-8253275

In the one hand you shouldn't spoil your kids, they should learn about hard work and to move on their own to reach their goals. I think people may confuse that with what is going on here.

This is very different. IMHO people that "love" you may end up being the worse influences possible and have a longlasting perhaps irreversible consequence on your life.

The retroactive regret they show for their parents and how they punish you to come back at them somehow is very sick. IMHO, grow up ASAP, and work your ass hard as fuck to get the hell out of there as soon as you can. I don't know where or how you may find containment, but it seems you need it and from outside that place.

I am sure you are not an angel, you must be quite the brat (like any kid), perhaps worse than you are talking yourself out to be, but what they are doing IMHO only makes it worse.

It is not justifiable, it's not about lacking gratitude. You're being turn into a resentful rotten person slowly, but surely. Avoid it.

He means that the negative influence can, and will, permanently affect you emotionally (and given the conversations you've had with me, it sounds like it already has). Don't blame yourself, but do your best to fight it

Seriously, As comput3rus3r is saying. Take his advice. Im also a dad of 5 (ranging from 7 to 20) Also sounds to me they are looking out for you. I completely understand your frustration with the situation. What are the real reasons? You are very vague with what is going on.

Also im not having a go so please dont think that! Please also anyone who advises you to leave then ignore them. Its not that simple and unfortunately running away will only put you in danger and on a path of destruction.

Before you make any decisions think long and hard about them!
