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.

I just found out that my dad has lung cancer and things are not looking good. he lives 2 hours away and I am 24 with a family of my own but I was just wondering: What are some positive, inspirational, and supportive things I can say to get him through this time no matter what the outcome...how can I help him through this? I have so much passion and emotion inside and I know what to say in my head, but I am so bad at expressing how I feel in the moment. This is the one time in my life where it's extremely important to say and do things right, but I still seem to only cry when I'm alone or think of good things to say only AFTER a situation. I feel I'm not being what I want to be for him to my full potential. Thank you to anyone who can help!! (link)

This is tough..I just found out my father has cner too..and we were not even speaking.
So i wrote him a note and e-mail him.
As you are closer..call him..call him every so often(once to twice a week) Send him pictures..or even a book that he might like or music.
Just be avaialbe to him emotionally.
You cannot cure him..but you can just BE with him...
Phone calls and e-mail are something that can be done and brigthen anyone's day. If you have kids..sent him the pcitures...make hin know that HE is a PART of your life.
Am thinking of you.
