Q: there is this guy that i really like and we've been friends for almost 3 years. but i made the stupid mistake of telling him that i liked him and he said he just didnt like me like that. but i asked one of my other guy friends if he thought the kid liked me and he said the kid was undecided, like stuck between me and another girl. But i still like him, i cant help it.
Also on top of that my grandfather is really really sick, so i'm worried about him.
And lately my mom and i hav been fighting like dogs.
And everyday this week atleast one of my freinds hav been mad at me for something.

plez help!!!

When life starts to get too rough, you have to take things one day at a time.

About this guy: What you should do is move on and if he decides on you, then that is his decision. But don't wait on him forever. You can live without being this guy's girlfriend and it may seem ackward to continue your friendship with him, but it can be done. You didn't make a mistake by telling this guy you like him. What you did was something a lot of girls usually don't do. You were brave and confessed your feelings and that's never a mistake.

About your grandfather: Try to call him or go see him, and if you aren't able to do that, try to have your family keep you updated on how he's doing and pray for him. You can't make him well, but you can pray for him and hope that you'll be able to talk to him soon.

About your mom: Everyone has this time in their teenage lives where you and your parents are constantly on edge with each other. This especially happens between mothers and daughters. Maybe you both have been on edge because of your grandfather being sick. Whatever the reason is, try getting some alone time with her to go out to eat or do something special. I don't know if you are very open with your mom, but I think you'd probably feel better if you let your mom know what's been going on. You don't have to tell her every little detail, but at least tell her how worried you've been and stressed out you've been and she might say the same thing.

A good way to relieve stress is to talk to someone about your feelings. When you are taking all of these problems and you don't let someone know you are struggling, you'll just feel like nobody can help you and you are alone in life. Take some time to relax and think things over and if you find yourself not having enough relaxing time, then you should tell your mom about this, because everyone needs space to just relax.
