How can I make my family understand?

Question

If you are an artist or poet or writer, if you love to draw, paint, write poets or lyrics, you should probably understand how angry I am right now. But I want to know if there is something I can do to prevent this thing from happening... please help me...

Okay, I seriously HATE IT when this happens! I swear to God I get so enraged when this happens! If you like to draw, paint, write, or if anything you love involves a sort of 'sacred' or special book in which you pour all of your talent into something you love, you should know how frustrating it is when the book you use to do all of your best works in is TRASHED because they didn't see any other paper around!!!

I AM SO F**KING PISSED OFF AT MY SISTER RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE WROTE ALL OVER THE DESIGN I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR TWO F**KING WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... THAT LITTLE *****!!!!!!! SHE F**KING DESTROYED MY WORK JUST TO DOODLE HER F**KING BOYFRIEND'S NAME ALL OVER THE PAGE!!! WTF IS THAT?!?! SHE'S 17 for ***** sake! I F**KING RESPECT HER PROPERTY, F**KING RESPECT MINE!!!!!!! I DON'T POUR PAINT OR INK ALL OVER YOUR HOMEWORK, DO I? I DON'T PAINTBALL YOUR BOYFRIEND'S FACE, DO I?!?! SO DON'T ******* USE MY SPECIAL BOOK TO DO ******* STUPID THINGS LIKE DOODLING YOUR DUMBASS BOYFRIEND'S NAME EVERYWHERE!!!! AND MOST OF ALL! NEVER. TOUCH. MY. ART. AGAIN. OR. I'LL. SLIT. YOUR. THROAT!

I am sick of this happening. I can't tell my family what I feel inside when they do upset me, because they don't understand how much those used, spare, and treasured pages are. This art book has everything I've ever been proud of in my entire life, I've had it for years and I feel destroyed inside knowing that my family doesn't respect how sentimental and treasured all those drawings, paintings, song lyrics, poems, EVERYTHING mean to me... I pour my soul into the works in that book, and they just treat my art like it's nothing special.... what can I do to make my family understand?

But really, COME ON! DID SHE REALLY HAVE TO WRITE OOOOOOONNNN MY DESIGN?! That little ******* *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell your counselor about the situation and how your parents don't understand how treasured the artwork is to you.  But don't ask for a pass yet...first tell your parents about what your sister did to your pages.  I'm sure they will know this time.
