    I can't get it through to my family that I am terrified to ride in the car with my brother driving. He has been driving for about 2 years but that doesn't really matter to me. Today I was forced to ride with him driving and it was dark and the roads weren't the best and he has only been driving on more than back rides for about 3 days. My dad didn't feel like driving so my brother drove and after a big argument I had to ride with him. I would have refused to go but I would have then been stranded at school. For the whole half hour ride home I felt horrribke I was shaky and couldn't breathe and felt like crying. As soon as we left the school I ended up fighting with my shirt and tie because I couldn't breathe with them on. When I got home my dad said I was over reacting by saying I was panicky and I felt so uncomfortable. I have gotten in so many arguments recently about driving and my parents are so bad about it all. I just want to know how to get through to them.
