"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus DumbledoreHi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!
A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.
BU 2014 :)
wicked awesome conversations
^my forum, liven it up a little?
advice
i feel like my own mother dont want me. She has never came straight out and say it, but she gets so mad at me all the time and i dont know why, she just blows up. And she does it almost everyday and i think that my grandpa dont want me and it kills me because i know she loves me but i just feel like im a burden to her. Like i cry myself to sleep all the time thinking about it. I am crying right now. And i dont want to tell my friends because they will just tell me i am over reacting and my dad will just tell me to live with him. But i dont want to. I love my mom to death. But i just feel like she dont want me sometimes. And i dont want to leave and i dont want to talk to her about it because she will get more mad and i am afraid she will kick me out or loose "respect for me"...i dont know what to do but please help me...
Sometimes parents get angry and take it out on you. It sucks, but that's the way it works. I'll assume from your question that your parents are divorced or separated. Your mom might be worried about losing you- or having you go live with your dad. Next time she gets mad at you, just walk away from the conflict- literally. Avoiding unnecessary fights is a good thing. Also, saying "Mom, I don't want to fight about this, I just want to say _______ "
Talking to her might help, for example if she's making unreasonable demands for you, try to compromise. Do it at a time she's not wicked upset, maybe over dinner [or any mean you eat together]. TELL her that you love her. Sure, she knows it. But it's still nice to hear, right? Maybe you'll both start saying it more.
I hope I helped; best of luck!
