Jason is eighteen and my favorite brother. He dropped out of school and got a job at Burger King. He'd been working there for a little over a year when he realised it wasn't the job he wanted. He has his GED but now its to late to go back to school. Soon after realising that he gave up. On Life. Then one night the cash register wasnt working and he punched it and completely broke it. Now he owes BK 2,500 dollars and had a warrant for his arrest and his court coming up. Well everyone thought if he got a ob before court he would have a chance of paying... but He told my Mom he wants to go to jail.
Jasons been my everything, and I would do anything for him. Im planning on telling him Ill give him 500 to get a job but I dont want him going to jail because my Mom will kick him out.. and he'll have no place to live and Ill be on shit with my Mom bcause ill kill her.
But why does he want this for himself.. I love him and Im not willing to let this happen. What else can I do? (link)

tell him how much he means to you. let him know you believe in him, and you're there to help him and do whatever to help him get back on his feet. talk to your mom and tell her it'd really upset you if he left. hopefully he would see that people are there for him and he can work harder to make you proud of him.
good luck, and best wishes to your brother.

Myself - 16/f
My Mom - 51
My Dad - 60
I realize my parents are getting older, and it scares me to no end. My parents haven't smoked for years but they used to, my dad needs knee surgery but won't get it and they both get very little exercise. My mom walks a lot, but my dad really doesn't do anything. Every time we go out, I can't help but worry that something might happen to them.
Everytime I think of something happening to them, which is everyday, I just start crying. I haven't even seen another teenager for the last two weeks because I have been spending everyday with my parents. I take as much time as I can to be with them but it never feels like enough. I'm so scared for them and it makes me so emotional.
Please help me find a way to cope with this, thanks. The one thing is, I will never talk to them about it or go to a therapist. If that was what you wanted to tell me, sorry in advance. (link)

schedule your days. spend 2 or 3 days a week with them during the week with them and one day a weekend, then spend the other days with your friends. it might not feel like enough, but trust me, your parents think anything more than 5 m inutes at your age is a miracle. if you want them to get more excersize, when you're with them, suggest you all go for a walk down the street or something. don't be so worried, though. people live so much longer these days than they did before. your parents wouldn't want you worrying about them and not hanging out with your friends. watching you live your life will make theirs a lot more enjoyable.

Okay well, all my life I felt like I have grown up all by myself. My parents weren't really there for me. I am the oldest out of four kids, and my parents would always leave us at my grandma's house when we were young. And when I started school they started leaving us at home alone. My parents would always be too tired, so they would never help me with my homework. I felt that I had to grow up and become someone important just so they can pay attention. So I would try so hard at school. I would get straight A's, get awards, and other stuff. But they simply didnt' show that they cared. They just always said "good job" and that's it. As I got older they kept pressuring me to become a lawyer at age 9. I felt so pressured. And now at age 15, I want to tell them that I don't want to be a lawyer. And that I don't want to stay in Anaheim or California. I really want to tell them, but they have so many expectations for me. I mean, they REALLY want me to be a lawyer and stay with them forever. I don't know how to tell them because my mom has panic attacks. And well, my dad can has had strokes in the past. I don't know how to break the news to them without them dying. What should I do? Am I a bad daughter for telling them that I don't want to be what they want me to be? Help, please. (link)

you just have to sit them down and tell them that where you are isn't really where you want to be when you get older. make sure you're calm and it's at a time when the don't have a ton of stress. they should understand, and you're young, so they may not take you seriously, but tell them it's something you've been thinking about a lot and staying where you are isn't what you want. they should be able to respect your decision.
you're not at all a bad daughter for wanting to follow your own dream as oppsed to theirs. you're you, they're them, you think differently and want different things.
good luck.
