Hey everyone, my name is Kristin, there's a picture of me on my advice column.. I'm a senior in high school and im 18 years olds.. I know I'm pretty young, but I've been through more than anyone would imagine and I've been through things most teenage girls haven't experienced yet in life. Here's a few things about myself, I've gone through a very serious one year relationship that ended a long long time ago, my parents have been divored for about 6 years, I cheerlead for my high school, I do ballet and have been playing the piano since I was seven, I work at a nearby UPS Store, and I am a dedicated Greek-Orthodox Christian. I hope to get accepted into Cal Poly San Louis Obispo and major in Nutrition..I love to hear about other peoples issues and problems so I could help them deal with it by relating them to my own experiences. So if you wanna talk, I'm here =]

My dad doesnt like my boyfriend because he is older and he has made some bad choices in his life, what should I do? Is my dad right to not like him even though I really love my boyfriend? I'm so lost. Please help. (link)

Hey.. That must be hard having your dad not like him. Sorry to hear that. Well, honestly, you're Dad is totally in the right frame of thinking.. I can sit here and name like a million things that parents are right in, etc.. You may totally love your boyfriend, that's not a question, but you really got to give a little to your dad.. What I mean is, I don't think you should cut it off with your bf, because that would be pointless and dumb, but definitely let your Dad continue nagging you about not liking him, etc.. Because EVERYTHING your Dad is saying is right. Believe it or not. Everything your Dad says has great meaning to it.. If he says, "WHY ARE YOU DATING HIM?! HE'S A LOW LIFE BUMB." or something like that, it's probably true, your bf could be a low-life bumb, lol, you know what I mean? But that definitely doesn't mean you shuoldn't love him. Your dad ONLY wants the best for you- THE BEST ONLY period... Im not going to say you should have a talk with your dad and tell him how you feel, etc, like most columnists would tell you, because that's an obvious one, obviously you have talked to your dad aobut it. If he is TELLING you to break up with him and that's that, that's a different story, but it sounds like your dad just doesn't like him.. What I would do, is invite your bf over for dinner maybe one night a week for about 3 weeks [as long as its okay with your parents ofcourse] and tell ur bf to bring over flowers one night, or chocolate another.. Just a little something to show respect to your parents. Also, DO NOT do anything with him [sex, etc] ... If your dad ever found out, or just say the guy broke your heart in the end and you did have sex with him, everything your dad said was right.. and you dont want him to have to say, "I told you so." I really hoped this helped.. Please come back to me if you need more help.. Love kristin

my brother and i used to be extrmely close even though he is 14 yrs older than me. but after he found "the love of his life" he seems lik he doesnt even no who i am. when he got engaged i cried and when he was married i wanted to die. we can never seem to talk about anything and hes always saying how stupid i am for going out w/ my bf bc he doesnt live by me. hes wife is super awasome and i love her and all but sometimes its lik its her fault. everytime someone talks bout my brother i get rele upset and when they compare us i always say since you think hes so much better than me go get him to do it. i hate it bc everyone asks why ben (my brother) and i dont spend that much time together anymore. and hes having a child and im afraid hes going to rele forget about me. he relationship w/ everyone else hasnt changed only w/ me. when i was little and i cried when i had a nightmare hed come in my room and sit w/ me till i went to bed but when i my first bf broke up w/ me he told me to shut up and get over it. and it rele hurt bc i used to be able to turn to him when i was sad but now i cant. i rele dont no what im asking but do you think r realtionship will ever be the same? or how can i tell him how i feel? thanks and sry bout the length (link)

Hey, Im really sorry about what youre going through. Im glad that you want to talk to him about it, because that's the only way you will ever get through to him how you feel. I would buy him a little gift for his incoming child, and tell him to meet you somewhere, like a coffee shop or something..give him the present and tell him that you are so happy for him that hes having a baby and that he is happy... say this, "I got you this little present for your baby, I know it's nothing but I really am happy for you. I hope that Ill be a big part of your baby's life because youre such a big part of mine. I just kind of feel lately that Im not any part of your life anymore. I want to be so bad. I use to turn to you whenever I needed someone to talk to and you would always be there to protect me.. I just feel like youre not like that with me any more, Im your sister and I feel like Ive been forgotten.." I know this may be a hard to thing to do, but you have to say something like that... love kristin

If I were you, I'd either one, be a brat right baCk to her and give her a taste of her own medicine, or two, tell her that your really depressed about something {just make something up} and make her feel sorry for you and so she'll stop being a brat for awhile and then eventually itll just turn into a regular basis typa thing..thats whut i did to my sister and now we are alot better
love kristin

I just got kicked out of my moms house and i am starting off fresh at my dads. He doesnt trust me and neither does my grandma. I can t talk on the phone without them listening or i cant get on the computer with out them reading my stuff. I cant go anywhere without them spying on me. They dont let me go any where to begin with. I have to sneak on the phoen and the com at night. I ask if they can just ftrust me and they are like no. They dont even know me. My grandma thinks buying me things is going to keep me out of trouble and my dad thinks keeping me from the world is going to keep me out of trouble as well. I need some advice . (link)

if i were u, id just go with it for awhile...just play along with how they think..then when they see that u are a "perfect lil child"..then SLOWLY start asking them to go out with ur friends...bring ur friends over to the house and introduce them...have them make totallllly good impressions, etc...maybe thatll work??

We're not really that cloce. She meant when I'm 'in love' and I want to do it with that special person. Well thats kinda not the deal rite now I'm not in love at all. I dont even have a bf. But I want to go on it .. how do I ask her ? I cant just bring it up out of nowhere.. (link)
