Hi! I live in Chino Hills, California and I came to this site to see if I can help anyone who needs it. I am 15 years old and am known in my group of friends as the "voice of reason" :)
I want to try to help as many people as I possibly can. I hope someone can find my advice helpful, although I know some will disagree--and that's totally fine.
I always tell people that I give advice to that I'm just a person who makes mistakes so before they consider my advice they should make sure they agree with it. They should also make sure it's the best thing for them to do.
I hope to help you with what I can with the information given!
*hope I can help*
P.S. When you rate my advice, PLEASE don't be kind. What I mean is give me as much constructive criticism as you can! I want to be able to improve in my advice giving! Thanks!

hey so how did you get through the stress of living with your parents? (link)
|
Ok, so i know this will be hard, but be strong. If you are going to get through this the way i did, you need to stay open minded. Promise yourself you will read through this completely. Before you read further, i need you to know i am a strong protestant and became one through this expierence. First, i will share with you my testimony (how i came to Christ). I do not expect you to read this, but it will help you see how related our problem is. I do not know what religion you have (if you have one) but protestant is not a religion, but a relationship.
Six months ago, i went through this same experience. Me and my parents just could not get along. We faught constantly. I tried reasoning with them, but that did not work. I just wanted to leave some how or another. I resulted to self injury. This made my stress level and my parents stress level raise. It baisically made things worse than ever. My friends hated me for hurting myself. I was alone and hurt. No one to comfort me. I was afraid i would never get through this. One night, i just could not take the stress anymore. I left. I ran to my best friends house. I rang the door bell and from the second she opened the door we were both in tears. We held each other and cried out our eyes. She is a strong protostant. We talked all night and she gave me a Bible. I accepted the Bible but all that ran through my mind was "I dont want to hear about your false hope" or "I dont want to be preached to" also "I dont want to hear about your God, i just want to get out". i heard her, but i didnt listen. I got home early in the morning, before my parents realized i was gone. She called me later in the day to see if i had read any of the marked passages. I told her i wasn't intersted in God and i did not want to hear about him anymore. She told me to be open minded. I finally decided to listen to her, and to go to her church. She told me to speak to her youth pastor. i said no. She was thinking about giving up on me. I finally realized i had no other path to take. I spoke to him. We spoke for hours. I had so many questions, but, by the end of the night, i accepted Christ as the Lord my Savior. Since then, the relationship between me and my parents is still slowly being recovered. It is not completely fixed, but it is getting there.
Mark 8:34
"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me"
I got through this from that one friend. God is the only way you can get through this trial. He helped me, and he WILL help you. No if, and's, or buts.

this is the best advice i have recieved so far. but the thing is i am a Christian. im growing up in a Christian home. and it think part of the problem between me and my parents is that i am forced to go to church ever Sun, and Wen. its not that i hate church i actually love it. its a HUE part of my life. and i am saved. and proud of it. i guess i have yet to learn that Christ is the only answer here. and reading your advice. i started to cry because it made me realize how far i have drifted from God. and i need to get back on track with Him. get right with Him again. but i will deffinitly text you. you have helped me SO much. and i cant say thank you enough.
thanks
