The name is Leah. I live in Cincinnati, OH. I really love to give advice! I have been here since November of 2004. But prior to joining here, I was always been seeked for advice. Still to this day, my primary concern is always helping someone out in need.

I am likely not the best columnist here, but I can quarantee I am very dedicated and concerned when I answer a question. If I answer a question you're not satisfied with, I will ask why, so I can try my best to change my answer. I only give people information that I know; not information that I might know. And if I notice a columnist giving you a wrong answer, you'll know I'll be correcting their response!!

I do allow everyone and anyone to ask a question. I may have listed favorite categories, but I really have no preference. I do love making new friends!! It's no problem to contact me by e-mail or IM. I do have a Myspace, and I will gladly give it out if asked! If you ever need advice, if you feel like ending it all, if you feel like no one cares, I am here!! Talk to me.. I will listen and I will help you!!

Tamera,

I am also really sorry about your situation at home. Around your age, my mom was a severe alcoholic as well. She would verbally and physically hit me and my sister, along with harassing my dad. I couldn't get help because I was so scared to. I kept this problem inside until I turned 17, when I attempted suicide from my mom calling me horrible names and threatening me. I was in the ER, and my mom looks at me frightened. She suddenly stopped drinking so much. Now, she just drinks socially.

And on her horrible drunken days, I would go to a friend's house for a few days, or stay with a family member.

I don't want you to harm yourself. I've just been there all the way. From personal experience, I talked to someone about it, and they referred me to the support group the previous person said. It's a very nice support group. You hear from people around your age that goes through the same things as you do. They also give you options on what you can do.

It's so hard, I know it is. It's scary, and those kinds of things scar you for life. But know that help is there.

Here's a link to other support groups, such as Alateen. They're very helpful people. Contact them, and you can attend a support group nearby.

If you ever need someone to talk to, I am here. My e-mail is on my advice column if you ever need someone. I hope I helped. Best wished to you, and my prayers go out to you.
