My dad smokes. I try to make him stop by saying "please stop smoking dad" or "you should quit" or cough really loud when he lights up a cigarette. DAMN IT, I FUCKING HATE THE SMELL! He smokes when hes in the bathroom, i just hate it. When i cough and stuff around him he'll be like OH SHUT UP, YOU SHOULD BE USED TO IT ALREADY or YOUR OVERREACTING. and id be like, havent you ever heard of second hand smoke dad?? he doesn't care.. i mean hes a good dad but he needs to stop. i dont think he'd do that nicotene patch or gum thing. When i tell my mom about it, she'd be like, get used to it, or she'd do nothing about it. What should i do?

Pray...I have the same problem, but my parebts are seperated. Beacuse of that and a lot of other things I've stopped going over there(my parents are divoced). He's finally stopped smoking and it's the saddest thing I've seen when you realize it's your parent who's killing themselves and the people around them. See if you have a family member to stay with. No matter what your health is way more important than letting it be killed by careless smoking. ~*AmAnDa*~

my family and i have a major probleam.... we get into arguments a lot!!!! i think it happenes almost everyday!! and i get pissed by my family so does anybody know how to not have an argument and juss talk???

Play a board game one night out of everyweek. Take turns by letting one person pick what you eat for dinner, one for dessert, and one for the game. Present this idea to your family. You have no idea how just taking one simple night out of the week for your family could help. Also you might want to try a family counselor. If you just go to a local church you can go and get counseling for free, and that could help sort out some of the problems you guys have been having. ~*AmAnDa*~

ok well I am kind of mad. I think my mom's b/f is just using her, And I am to scard to tell my mom. But when I do wont to tell my mom he is there. He is always over and he eats all of our food. But he never cleans up. My mom has not been dateing for a while because my dad went to jail. I dont know what to do.... PLEASE HELP

Well from the sound of it it sounds like your mom has been in a hurtful reletionship already. When that happens it's kind of like drugs for some people. The emotional abuse becomes addicting and even thought they know its hurting them they don't want to stop. Talk to your mom about it. Let her know your concerned for her. How better do you think it's going to get if you don't confront her, even if your not ready for it, because your mom sounds like she's long over due for it. If she doesn't listen the best you can do is pray do is pray for her. God will work it out in his own little way, even if you don't believe what other answer is their? What do you have to lose? ~*AmAnDa*~

Okay, I have been sick for almost a week now, I have really bad diarrhea and I can't keep any food down! Everytime I eat it comes up, I even took three bites of a yogurt and it came up. My mom refuses to take me to the doctor and I am starting to feel weak. i usually get dehydrated really easily and now when i drink it doesnt stay down either. My mom keeps an attitude towards me when i tell her what is going on and she says she cant afford to take me to the doctor, WHAT DO I DO?

Tell her you NEED to go to the doctors it's not a question. Your health is really important, and money should NOT be an issue when it comes to your health. No matter what you should be important enough to take care of. You do sound really sick. I hope you'll get better, and I'll pray for you.
