Being a teenager is the toughest thing any of you will go through..well except for a divorce or death of a loved one.
Adults just do not remember how hard this time of life is for you.
They forget how important all of these things that you ask questions about are.
Parent do not have all the answers either..they just muddle through life..just like you.
I am as old as dirt..and still have some of the things that happen to you..happen to me.

My mom is a cancer survivor--breast cancer and skin cancer. recently, a friend of her's son was diagnost with a sever type of cancer. He has to go through kemo and stuff. We're going to do stuff for his family, but thats not my concern
my concern is with my mother. she's been really worried and depressed about him since she found out on saturday. everytime she starts to talk about my future or about happiness she starts to cry, and says how unfair it is for a child to have to deal with that. she tells me almost everyday she wouldn't care how many times she had to go through cancer so i wouldn't have to. she says that she wouldn't know what the hell she'd do if anything happened to me or my sister.
i'm worried about her. is that normal? is there something i can say to her to make her feel better?
sorry this is long. (link)

Your mom..has had a brush wiht death.
To a parent..losing a child is the most horrific thing that can happen.
She is using all the fear that hse has been going through and putting it on that childs cancer.
Tell ehr you love her..tell her that SHe survived it..why not this child. Tell her that getting so upset..will only make her feel sick..
if she really wants to help...help the child and the family..give her something to do so that she is not siting around thinking of death. Haver her cook something..take the child somewhere..donate her time to the cancer society..antyhing..that is PROACTIVE..not reactive.
