my boobs just started killing today and feel like bricks and are very sensitive,and i think it might be a sign of pregnancy, how long do i wait to take a pregancy test for it to be correct ? i got my period a week ago, but do i still have to wait another month to find out if im pregnant ?

^^ It could also be that since you got your period, your breasts could hurt because of that...XD trust me, mine do that too...quite annoying really.

Hoped I helped!

Okay, I am 15 and I am a female. I live with my mother, step-father, brother(11), and sister(16). My father died when I was 2 months old so I never really knew him. I am a different religion than all of my family, none of them attend any religious services but I do 3 times a week. It is so hard to get along with them because they talk bad about my religion and about me. I hate it and don't know what to do. My brother and sister are constantly stealing things from me and talking about me to my face! My mother is constantly yelling at me. Then my step-dad is always gripping about how he cleans all the time. I really need some suggestions to help me because I am running myself down trying to handle everything.

^^ Hun, first...take a deep breath. Now, what I would do if it was my family, is ask everyone to sit down and let them hear you out. If someone starts talking, ask them nicely for them to let you talk first, and then they can talk. Explain how you don't like how your family, who is supposed to support and help you in what you believe in, and it hurts you. And tell your siblings that they shouldn't steal, or talk about their own sister right in front of you. Ask them how they would feel if say you and your parents did that. And tell your dad, only if this is true, that he doesn't clean all the time. That you help out too and then name things that you help with.

As your mom with the yelling...I think that you should have a one on one talk with her about most of this as well. Ask her why she is yelling at you, and if possible, that she doesn't yell, maybe ask or tell in a normal tone of voice. And maybe tell her (if you don't want to have a family meeting) about how you don't like them talking bad about your religion, and it hurts you. You shouldn't try to handle things all on your own. A family is a support team, and they ain't supporting you huh?

^^ I wish you the best of luck, and I hope I helped! If you need anymore advice, send me a private question and I'll be happy to help =D seeing as I have almost the same family problems!

ok so its summer break and i am a future sophmore. last night i forgot to throw away the garbage and my mom got mad. she told me that i am not going out with my friends anymore because i dont listen to her. its boring here in my house. she said that i am grounded for the whole summer! i hate her. she just wants to ruin my life. i cant go out anymore becasue i forgot to throw away the garbage?! im so mad right now. what am i going to do i cant stay here for the whole summer its so boring. i told her i was sorry and that i forgot and now she wont even talk to me. she tells me that i am so lazy because i only want to be with my friends. but i help around the house i do! and when she sees me on the computer she gets mad and says thats the only thing i do. theres nothing else to do here. and when i tell her im bored and to please let me out she gets mad and says "no youre not going out. clean if your bored!" as if thats fun for a 15 year old girl. she wont even let me out. its so boring here. i dont know what to do anymore. help me please anything is helpful.

There might be something going on with your mom's life right now...maybe something at work. One day when she seem slike she is calm and everything, ask her if you two could sit down and talk. Tell her that you really did forget to take out the trash, that there is nothing to do at home and you don't want to clean all the time.

And very calm and gentle say 'Is everything ok? You've been getting really mad the past few days..' and if that doesn't help, then get do some stuff around the house to show that you do want to help out, and if she asks you to do something, do it. And then maybe you could show her that you do listen...(And when you talk to her...don't get mad, just stay calm, and try to act as mature as possible)

I wish you the best of luck, and I hoped I helped!

I'm 14 and I'm a good kid.
I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, and I even
get good grades. My best friend was in a big
drinking phase and they knew about it. Even
though they know I've never drank before,
they've been treating me like I'm five for the
past month or so. (After not drinking for
almost 7 months) my best friend drank one time again, and they found out, so I can understand why they wouldn't trust her, but me and them have talked and they understand that
I won't do anything like that!

Whenever I try to make plans, they won't
let me go anywhere or they guilt me and tell me
how much of a hassle it is. They make me come
home before 6 and they ask so many questions they
don't need to be asking. Its really frustrating
because they didn't used to be like this and
we used to be really close. I've never done
anything bad and they treat me like a criminal!
How do I get things back to normal?

Umm ok, 'They' would be your parents am I right? Well, I guess they're just worried that your best friend will start trying to get you to drink and her being your best friend you'll do it. Tell your parents(again and again) That you don't drink at all and you're smarter than that, and it's getting annoying that you can't do anything with your friends without not being able to go or being guilted into not going! Stuff like that, and maybe say 'Have I done anything to make you guys not trust me?' and things like that. And if that fails, sit down with them and talk again, and just say 'I know you guys understand that I don't drink and wouldn't do stuff like that, but why are you doing all this to me if you trust me?' and after all that and they still act like that, it's better to just do as they say for awhile, and hopfully they'll see you're doing what they ask and that they can stop asking you to do that. I hoped I helped, and I wish you the best of luck!

ok so my sister moved it was really sad because my dad sat there begging her to stay she is 16 so we couldnt do anything about it.my dad is really sad and really mad he is taking it out on me i dont want to leave because that would hurt him even more.he is great and he would never hurt me but he is being jerk what should ?i do i cant talk to my sis because hse refuses to tell us where she is grr she is makeing me mad!!!how can i keep my family from falling apart? i cant talk to my mom she isnt apart of our life that much i could talk to maria my dads gf but i can never get her alone and she is really cranky lately so i feel i shouldnt do that

You should really talk to your dad, i know he is upset but does he know how much he is upsetting you? and do talk to Maria if you can. If you feel like you really can't, talk to a friend that you trust or ask a teacher or something. And if you feel like you really need to talk to your sis, ask your dad and just say "Dad, I really need to talk to her, may I please know where she is?" If that doesn't work, you could always ask one of your sister's friends' and hope they know where she is, or call her cell phone if she has one. I hoped I helped
