fourteen / female
Background: For the past two years of my life, i've had really bad social anxiety. Becuase of it, i've had to switch schools to an alternative school. I wasn't going to my regular middle school last year, I was skipping out of class and I did that for about five months until someone intervened.
The next month I was in my new school. It had very different kinds of people, and it was more diverse as far as race went. It made me feel a lot more comfortable. When I was going through this hard time, I lost a lot of friends. I only have three really good friends now, and because I switchced schools and they have other friends besides me, I don't get to see them a lot.
My parents think that i'm becoming a recluse and I won't ever leave the house because of my anxiety. I spend a lot of time on the computer/in front of the TV, and my parents see something wrong with that and seem to think i'm anti social, when i'm really not.
I don't hang out with my friends from my new school because all they really do is hang around and smoke and go party, and i'm not into that.
My problem: My parents want to send me to boarding school. While I do have some issues, I don't think it's anything that can't be solved where I am.
It's not just that they want to send me away, it's that they've already picked a place for me to go, and i've been accepted. But we still need to get money from my public school in order for me to go. But all that aside, if my parents decide I don't have to go, I don't go.
I've talked with them and explained all of this, i've improved my behavior around the house, and tried to put reason behind all of my actions. But neither of them seem convinced.
Going away to boarding school would kill me, and they don't understand.
How can I convince them not to send me away?
Hey. Well, the way I see it, this issue is more simple to solve then you feel it is. All you have to do is tell your parents that you do in fact have friends at your newer school, they just like to do things in their spare time that you aren't into doing. Tell them that they are in fact good friends, they just are into things that you aren't into. Tell them that you miss your friends from your old school, but you never get to hang out with them becuase you live a ways away from them.
They should understand, after you have explained all of this.
Good luck.
Im 16 and my dad died when i was 8 and my mom recently got married to a guy who used to be in the army. I have two sister and now i have 3 step brothers. He is like way strict and his kids are like perfect angels but me and my sisters have never really been raised that strict and for lack of better words are pretty wild. my mom never really punished us for things( ive never been grounded and ive never ahd a curfew) and now this guy is trying to control us and take over our lives. What should i do?
Hey. Sorry to hear about your dad]:
Well, you could tell your mom that you aren't used to, and don't really like the way that her new husband it running things. Tell her that you aren't used to being raised so strictly, and it really bothers you how your life has completely changed, all too fast.
You could even tell him this directly, if you feel comfortable enough. But in my oppinion, the easiest way to deal with this would be to have your mom talk to him. Try to name specific rules that bother you, and when your stepdad has tried to use them on you. Be sure to be polite and flexible, and if the conversation starts to make you angry, leave for a little while and come back when you're temper has restored. Patience is basically key.
Good Luck.
Tonight my mom saw me trying to scratch my back. I had a terrible itch. She came over and scatched the itch on my back for me. And in a teasing voice said: ech, you are so bony; Should I be upset or just ignore it. She said it a kidding way.
Hey. Deffinatly don't worry about it, it's perfectly fine. She meant it as a compliment, implying that you're skinny. Deffinatly don't go trying to gain weight over a comment such as that, just let it go, it's really nothing.
i submitted this question once already but it like didn't go through so i fixed it up a bit..
alright well..
one of my friends has very strict parents. so they were looking at her search history and found her myspace. they also found mine.
i'm not aloud to have a myspace. my parents made it very clear that if i had one, i'd be in deep trouble. i wouldnt be allowed on the computer for a long time and when i am allowed to my parents would watch my every move. so on AIM, i cant talk to anyone about private stuff.
i deleted my account already but i dont know what to do. my friends dad said hes going to tell my parents. her dad is going to say he saw it a few days ago so there's no hiding that i actually did have one.
i really don't know what to do. i don't want to get in trouble and loose my computer rights. last resort would be to come clean but i don't want to have to do that. i need to get out of this situation. i really need help, and FAST!! please, does anyone have any advice?
thank you sooooooooooooooo much. you dont know how incredibly bad i need advice.
Hey. Well, it might comfort your parents to know that you can make it private, so that only a few people, whom you personally approve, can view your myspace page. Also, tell them that you can have fake information. For example, my myspace says I'm 100 years old and I live in Bermuda. I'm thirteen, and I don't live in Bermuda, lol. So, if you do decide to come clean, which I reccomend doing before you get 'ratted out', tell your parents that you want one, and that you'll make it very safe. Also, explain to them that you aren't stupid, you aren't just going to go talking to like 50 year old petifiles, lol.
Hope I helped! ♥ Kathleen.
I have a huge problem with my family. My brother, who is autistic, gets on my last nerve because he takes advantige of his disability, AND I have to clean up after him, and my mom, and myself. My mom, well lets just say, all the pressure is on me. Plus, she looks to me to be her support system (not money)24/7, I mean I love my mom, but I dont know if I can take the pressure. BUT school, thats a whole other problem. It's like taking your whole entire grade that, hates you and wants you dead, and locks them and you up in huge room. Worst of all, none of them realy even know me, so why do they hate me? Can you PLEASE give some advice what to do?
Uhh, well, that's kind of tough. You mean like they don't speak English? Uhhh, well, I don't know easy this will be, but you could try to get someone to like translate for you a little...
hi, well im 15, and my sisters 18. Well she's really annoying, and it really pisses me off. She acts like a kid when she wants to be treated like an adult, and she's really like, bossy. the other day, she was all "come in here when you're done, i need your help" then she tells me to help her pick out an outfit, and when im all "um i dont know..." she gets angry, like its my job. then she tells me to clean her room while she hangs up her clothes, and if i tell her to do it her self, shes all "you know you're attitude really stinks" and she keeps complaining, even though she's worse. is this normal? or is she just wierd. i think the second one but ide like someone elses opinion. thanks in advance :)
Hey. Well my sister's exactly the same way, except im 13 and shes 21, she's just wicked immature, which might be the case with your sister. Just don't do what she says, and tell her to do it herself, it works for me :]. Hope I helped ♥ Kathleen.
Okay, my sister will be turning 13 soon and I want to throw her a party. Any ideas about what to do and what not? Also she can't decide if she just wants money or if you wants clothes and games or what not. Any help and ideas are loved! Also her birthday is March 24th. Her likes are: Singing, ancing, music, pink retro, and dressing up.
Okay. Well, for invitations, you could either make your own using pink construction paper and pink glitter and fun stuff like that, or I know if you go to a craft store or a store like claires, or this place called Libby Lous, depending where you live, you could find stuff there. Depending on how "girly" your sister would like this type or party to be is up to her, the clothes could vary from, like I said, just a pink shirt and jeans, you pink dresses, almost prom-type. As for activites, you could make this party carry on back at your house and have a sleep-over where you could do makeovers and other fun girly stuff, or you could even do that where you have the party. You can find great idea for facials, manicures, pedicures, and fun beauty stuff on google. Also, renting kareoke machines and stuff if pretty cheap, or you chould just get lyrics to a certain amount of songs online. Well, this is pretty long so I should probably stop lol. Hope I helped ♥ Kathleen. Plus, tell your sister happy birthday!
