about

Hey all! I'm 15, almost 16 *August 5th* and I go to Utica High School. It's a decent school, but living in Michigan is a downer seeing as we have the most sporadict weather ever. But, I still love it. I wouldn't move if I had the chance. =) Anywho, I love Forensics, It's my biggest hobby I probably have. And no, it isn't CSI or any of that stuff, it's Competitive Speech, but not like debate. I do the drama portion of it. Haha. I also love to sing. It's my dream to grow up and sing for a band for be solo, far fetched, but I can dream dammit! I like anybody who can make me laugh, and hate people who are 'stuck up' and 'serious' all the time. People need to learn to let loose, you know? I'm also a Christian, because God is effin' cool. He's cooler than you, remember that. Also, highschoolers really need to remember : "Save yourself for the one God saved for you." There are so many sluts in my school, it isn't even funny. Rather sad if you ask me. Other than that, I'm a pretty normal teen.

advice

My parents know that I want to listen to Green day and Bowling for soup and a large variety of other music bands, but won't let me. I'm 13, but they prolly think it's too young. How can I convince them that I enjoy music and am missing out on a lot without it?? And besides-I should be entitled to what they had.

Your age shouldn't matter really. I listen to Green Day and all that good stuff and I'm 15. Tell them that considering you're a teenager now, you should be entitled to what they had as children, and that some way you're going to have to listen to some sort of music. Tell them that music is everywhere and you, as a person, should have the same rights as every other teenager. Music is life.

My sister's boyfriend is a real dick who just moved in with us, everyone like him except me, what should i do?

Try to look in the perspectives of your family members. What is it about him that makes them like him? Or maybe your family is pretending to like your sisters boyfriend for her sake. You just have to be careful. I know it isn't going to be hard to live in the same household but try to ignore him if you can. Whatever you do, do not talk to your sister about it. She will get angry. Maybe talk to your parents about why you don't like him, or why you're uneasy about him.

You've got to tell somewhere where he is. No matter what. You have to tell. His brother would be the better choice.

I assume you mean you're on-the-go hanging out with friends?

How about, planning time with friends, and time with family. Your family dosn't like to feel left out, spend some time with them

I;m sure your friends will be understanding, if they ask you to do something saturday, be like, Sorry, i'm busy, Or something like that. Like spend the day with your family every other saturday.

this is going to be long...

I have this gut feeling that my brother is gay. I really believe that he is. I don't have a problem with it or anything because I love gay people. His best friend is bisexual even though he won't admit it. He's kissed guys in the back of school and I've seen him and he also kisses girls. So I pretty much know he's bi. So getting back to my brother, I just really think that he's gay! I swear it's like i have gay-dar or something like that, he's always staring at my boyfriend when he comes over, when he has his friends over, they are in his room for like 2 freakin hours WITH THE DOOR LOCKED and if he hears me walking up to the door he yells at me. I mean come on, he's never had a girlfriend and he always says he doesn't want one and that he'd never get married. He says, and I will quote, "Girls are a waste of my time." When I told some of my friends that I thought he was gay, they all responded with "I always knew something was up with your brother." Or something along those lines. Even guys that barely know my brother say that he's gay. My only worry is that my dad is homophobic, and my mom said that she'd be really upset if she found out that he was gay even though she has gay friends. How do I tell my mom of my suspicions? If it's true how would my dad react in the future when he comes out? How can I deal with this??

You shouldn't 'deal' with it at all. Your brothers sexual prefernce dosn't really concern you, and it might end bad if you go shouting to the whole family that you think he is homosexual.

Best thing to do is have a nice talk with him of your suspitions. Don't blab to your parents untill you know the facts, because he could be really pissed at you if you do, and no one wants that.

Respect his privacy and talk to him. It'll all work out.

Best Wishes,

Recently, i found my dad constantly going to chatrooms and talking to random ppl like he likes them better than my mom. every day he would be doing this but once my mom got home, he would close out of them. i dont know what to do. my brother knows about it too, but i dont know if i should tell my mom. please help....:(

I don't think this is a threat to your family life. Chatrooms are chatrooms, if you start to get phone calls from crazed women...then we have a problem. He's probably just lonely while she is at work, so he searches for female compaionship. Are you even sure he is talking to females?

Ask him about it. "Hey dad, who ya talking to?" Or, "Dad, did you see any fun chatrooms?" Something simple like that.

If anything does happen with another women online...lol, it's an online relationship. Best bet, and I know you don't want to 'rat' out your dad, but go and have a talk with your mother about. Thats the best you can do.

No worries,
