Parents accuse me of stupid things?
This has been going on for a while but today was the last straw. My python got out of its cage again cause it knows how to unlatch the lock. I've told them I need a better cage but they don't listen to me. My mom accused me of using her whole roll of Gorilla tape that she was wanting to use on taping the cage shut so it couldn't get out when I never used the tape. She found all of it taped to itself in a bundle and accused me of that. I told her that I found the roll of tape in the garage and it look like it was out there for a while. She didn't think I was telling the truth when I was. Then she gets my dad on the phone and taddle-tales to him about it and he gets mad at me. Is there anything I can do to get them to stop accusing me of stupid things? I'm definitely not getting rid of my snake no matter how many times my mom says it.

Mom and dad are a team. They get to blow off steam off of each, on each other, about each other, about work, life and kids.
What they talk about - even if it involves you - is not tattling. It's blowing off steam. Your parents, by their JOB TITLE as "Parents" the word/term "tattling / tattle-tale" doesn't apply. They have to talk about you, they have to make decisions about you, they have to talk OF you and what you do. That's what parenting is.
Single acts that are accidents, like taking the tape that you weren't supposed to use - that's a mistake. Making consecutive mistakes over a long period of time...in many different ways - that gets annoying.
Your mother was annoyed - and whether or not she believed your story - she's just annoyed that you keep doing things that you aren't supposed to.
Let your parents know if they're reserving stuff that they don't want you to use - label it, or put it away in a place that says "SON, don't use this". If it's just laying around, you're going to use it. There's no malice behind it. Let your parents know that they don't need to get mad. It was an honest mistake, you were trying to do the right thing by taping your snake's cage closed. Using the tape cost less than buying a new tape - which in fact, is what you REALLY need.
You need to start talking it out, buddy. Don't be afraid to speak up or get scared if your parents get mad. It's time that you learn to articulate your actions and your reasoning behind doing what you do. It's considered MATURE to be able to talk through an argument.

I think you should tell them that your snake does not like them yelling at you. In fact it makes him very upset, so upset that he's been thinking about paying them a visit, at night, in the dark, while they are asleep. Tell them you've tried talking your snake out of this, but the snake is tired of you getting blamed for things you have not done. Tell them the snake would appreciate it very much if they would just lighten up and get him a larger cage, maybe even with a better lock. Let them know if they do get the snake a larger cage you would be willing to help pay for it by doing extra chores, and you will talk the snake out of taking any action against you two at night, in the dark, while they are asleep.

1st of all, maybe you think people/parents can talk anyway they see fit and never lie. Turns out many are abusers. Actually they are not trying to be tough to make you better or help- they are tricking you. This goes for people at school as well. Words are abuse also.
There are many types of abusive people/parents. Some ignore you. Some hit the bottle. Some hit you. And some run their mouths and put you down. THEY are sick and feel great by being mean, and thats the only reason they do it. They are wrong about everything. The typical abuser is close-minded, self-righteous and was also abused themself. Use defense and read many sites on verbal abuse etc. People tear you down or give irratating advice to build themselves up. They have problems.
Remember- Abuse always involves some deception mixed in.
Abuse causes pain mistaken as mental problems- Cutting, OCD etc. Psychiatrists commit fraud in that all disorders are only emotions. For chemical imbalances NO test exists. You dont have what shrinks say you have. Dont tell abusers about any so called disorders. They will only drug you.
Jesus name and forgiving others who are wrong is important along with avoiding them.
Call or I can- Child Protective Services- Transitional housing to age 21- tell your teacher. Dont tell your parents they wont listen.
Learn the truth, forgive, and Get Away from them. Read many many sites under "emotional abuse" and "dealing with bullies".
I have some questions for you if want to talk about it.

they must not trust you probably because of the past. did you use to lie often? that could be one reason. and you have to deny it with a straight face. when someone in my family accuses me of of doing something i didn't do, i look at them funny, say i didn't do it it a calm easy going voice, or, if it's my brother, i say 'there must be something wrong with you, i didn't do it"
