Hey everyone, my name is Jordan. Im going to be a sophomore at Oklahoma State University this year, currently studying Hotel and Restaurant Management. I graduated with a 3.42 GPA from Cinco Ranch High School in Katy, Texas, my home of ten years. I am a singer, a cook, a brother, a son, a friend, an employee, and a student. I have alot of background with problems with friends, parents, siblings, teachers (long stories), employers, and of course, with myself. But ask anything you want, if I can help just one person, than I've made a difference, and I'll be happy! Please rate me based on the advice I give. I want to know if I need to change anything! Thanks to everyone who has rated me so far! I'm sorry about my period of inactivity on this site, school, my girlfriend, and other aspects of my personal life have kept me away for longer than I wanted, but I'm back and ready to answer your questions!

Basically I'm sick to death of my family. I really need to get away from them for just a little while. I love them, but for the moment, we aren't getting along too well. None of my friends are around and I'm not allowed to go anywhere without my parents.
Info that might help:
I have 2 younger brothers that constantly fight, and an older brother. My dad is in another state for the next few days, but my mom is here.
help me please! (link)

Alright, I completely understand what you are going through. My family and I have never really gotten along, but there is still the underlying love. My trick is avoidance. I avoid my family by reading, playing video games, watching TV, and talking to my friends online. Of course, work and getting ready for college also keep me busy. If you are fifteen or older, you could look into getting a summer job until school starts, or you could go out exercising or playing sports. Families all go through their phases of "sanity." Siblings tend to get better, while parents tend to get worse, until about their 70's or whenever they become grandparents, as long as its not too early! Im not saying that making your parents into grandparents fixes everything instantly, so don't do anything...premature. I dont know about your family, but in mine, my father is the rational one, and is often with me about my opinions of my mother, the not so sane one. Have patience with them, and don't lower yourself to their level by yelling back at them. If your mother yells at you, simply listen to her, and fight the temptation to yell back. Just avoid them as much as possible. Once school starts back up, things will be better. Good luck with your family. Email me if you want more advice.

I just got in a huge fight with my sister. It started out as me being jealous of how she looked in her bathing suit. (really good! which I do not look) But then she started being really mean to me anyways. What should I do? And please don't tell me to tell ym sister I am soooo sorry and that I love her because she is not the mushy type at all. Thanks! -twistedsister17 (link)

Hey. First off, I agree with the people who tell you to let the situation simmer. Sounds like you sister might be a natural hothead. Second, don't focus so much on how you look in a bathing suit, unless you just want guys liking you for how you look. I can't tell you how many people are shallow enough to date for looks alone, not for personality. Relationships started over something shallow like looks or popularity DO NOT LAST. Look at how many celebrity relationships have failed because of shallow things. Let your sister cool off, then, after she has had time to cool off, she may see the error of her own ways. Sibling rivalries are very common among both emotionally close and distant siblings. Don't let something so trival drive you apart. Remember, she will be your sister forever, there is no need to break up a family because of looks! Good luck with your sister.
Best Wishes, Jordan

I wrecked my dad's car this morning, and he's out of town until tomorrow morning. I haven't got the guts to call him and tell him about it, cause there's a huge dent in it and the garage door is messed up. I also pulled the bike racks off the walls. I know that I'll be in big trouble if I wait til he finds out, but I really don't know what to tell him on the phone. I feel so bad. HELP ME!

Ok, I've kinda been where you are. Number one, I do hope you don't have your license, or any driver's ed, cause let's face it, it makes it look alot better if you can claim that you didnt know what you were doing. Number two, you have to realize that accidents happen, your dad will know this too. I guarantee your dad hasnt always been an all star driver. He probably has a few stories of his own, every driver does. When I was 16, I was driving back to work after going to Jack in the Box on my break. Um, yeah, I kinda hit the accelorator instead of the break, and drive through like one panel of a store front window. Nothing major, no one was in the store. Cops showed up, I cried alot, got off on the ticket (score!), and my mom still loves to flaunt that story around to my girlfriends. Then I remind her how she got in like three accidents in a month, the same year, like a month or two earlier. Yeah, she quiets up real fast. Just be honest, cry, acknowledge it was an accident, but the big thing is, call him ASAP!! Waiting only makes it worse. I know that one all too well. Be ready, you most likely will be searching for a job for the school year. If you can avoid it, dont work at a grocery store. Not the best work or pay in the world! Good luck.
Best Wishes, Jordan
