Q: Okay, so my mom just saw me publicly swear in a comment of a picture I was tagged in and now she's all up in my grill because I said the f word on Facebook. Aside from this, it's really annoying how all my family members are friends with me on Facebook. I seriously don't know what to do. I feel like I'm choking. I'm thinking about making a new account and just add family members there, but that'd be too obvious. What's the right thing to do?? Please help! I'd appreciate it bigtime.:(

Because Facebook is a public site, I would suggest that you behave in there the same way you do anywhere else publicly. You never know who's watching!
My father always told me, 'If you don't want it seen, read, or repeated... don't write it down!' That's very old but very good advice in today's world where everything we say and do is recorded somewhere on the internet!
You should be able to converse with others without swearing...especially in print.
As much as you want that freedom, I suggest that you curb your behavior in public forums. Your family will thank you and someday, you'll be glad that you did. Everyone from college professors to future employers can view your FB...think about what you say on there BEFORE you say it!
Best regards,
Jada

Call your local Social Services and see what they can do to help. They offer mental health and can assess your brother and hopefully get him what he needs, whether it's therapy, medication, or both.
He may be an adult but if he's your brother and this is causing you guilt, you need to try to obtain some help for his mental health issues. He may not be mentally healthy enough to take care of this on his own.
By the way, if he's stealing from your mom...don't feel guilty for stopping it. That's what you had to do to protect the family.
Best wishes,
Jada

Girls like us don't come along often. Like us and you'll grow to love us. Hate us and you're just wasting your time. You can't beat us and you sure as hell can't join us...
