Hi. My name is


kay ehh eye tee ehl why enn
((for you less intelligent people, Kaitlyn))

I'm not the prettiest, smartest, or thinnest,

nor do I claim to be. If you get the chance to know me,

I'm super radical.

I'm not emo,

scene,

goth,

hXc,

or preppy,

I'm just me.

I have a name, not at label.

Music is my passion.

I am the worldest biggest Choir Geek, ever,
and proud of it.
I feel like it's the only place in my life where everything just...

clicks.

My friends are my life source. --How star trek of me =]--

I'm pretty shy around new people,

but with my friends... hahaha.
Lets just say... it's interesting.

I'm a dork, and I'm proud.

Life's far to short to be worried about being cool.

I'm sarcastic, and optimistic.

I like hugs.

I'm Mormon, and I only have ONE mom. Kay? Thanks.

When I'm having a bad day, the whole world knows it.

I can be really nice,

or mean, depends on what day you catch me on.

m'aider à vivre, please and thanks.

In short,

I'm just me, don't care what you have to say about it.
so put that in your juice box and suck it.

Ok,I didn't know what category to put this question under, but I guess that doesn't really matter right now. My life is falling apart.

My parents are getting a divorce, because my older half sister and nephew (they're in rehab) are planning on moving in with us (she'd take my car and my room) and my mom doesn't want her to. My Dad feels it's his duty as her father. They'd already been having problems, and my mother's set of parents (my last set of grandparents) are dying, and she'd been really depressed lately. My mom decided the best way to get over it is to leave and go to Washington. None of us know exactly where.

So now, in since my Dad is in Michigan a lot, for his job, it is up to me to run a whole house-hold (cooking, cleaning, shopping, EVERYTHING!) and go to school. I have 4 little brothers and sisters (ages; 11, 8, 6 and 5)... On top of this, I have a job at a hospital, and am picked up by my uncle every day at 6:30 so I can work for two hours. I also realize that I'm very depressed, and have been ever since my ex dumped me two years ago. I can't seem to get over him, and if I even try to date anyone else, I always find some reason to dump them.. please help me.. somehow.. I know it's long.. I'm so sorry.. (link)
Hey!
I am so sorry first of all you shouldn't have to go through all that!

Let me start with your parents divorece. Its not your fault no matter what anyone says don't believe it.

It is NOT your fathers duty they are grown kids! They make their own desions and shouldn'd mooch off of her father anymore!

YOUR DAD CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT PILE EVERYTHING ON YOU IT IS WAY TO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE.

Your Ex SCREW HIM! He doesn't know what he is missing out on and you know what it may take a while to get over him the only way to is to go out with other guys. So break out your little black book and i know it will be hard but go for it with them just start out as friends. then go on from there.

Now for the depression if you take control of all these situations it will get better. If not you may need to go to a doctor, and get meds you know.

Good Luck, God Bless.

My boyfriend and I gave our virginity to eachother ( im 14 he 16) and the way we slept together was we snuck out of the house. I got caught and now I am grounded until June 18 now we got caught on April 25 and ever since then he was acting really weird like he didnt like me anymore and everything else but before april 25 we did it 4 times before that. and he acted fine but the thing is he didnt even get in trouble for sneaking out and hes acting really really really weird. like I talked to him about how he's changing and he said he doesnt know whats going on. so i asked him if he's still interested and he said "i guess so" then the next day i asked him do you want to be with me and he didnt answer then we almost broke up but we didnt and then i said to him i need you to be more affectionate and he said no. and hes not going to change or even try to.

This is very confusing but for people who understand me tell me. Should I break up with him? and what is wrong with him!!

I WILL RATE 5'S!! JUST PLEASE HELP ME!! (link)
Hey!
Well if he won't change for you i say give him a couple weeks at least a week after you are ungrounded. see if things go back to normal after that you never know if you haven't seen him that long he may just feel neglected. So if he doesn't try harder after you get ungrounded i would break up. I know it may be hard, since you were so intament, but you don't need him if he isn't going to treat you right!
Best of Luck!

OK...sorry, this will be quite long.
Well, my parents are divorced and I live with my mother. I don't see my father any more, because he got married to this lady called Karen, and she sends me loads of horrible emails, accusing me and my mother of all sorts of crap. I'm perfectly happy with not seeing him because I never got on with him, so that's not my question.
The thing is, my mother still wants me to see my father's parents. I really don't like them and all they do is complain at/about me while I'm there and I never enjoy any time I spend with them. My mother keeps going 'oh well you should do what you want I'm not forcing you to see them', but if I mention not wanting to go and see them, she moans at me and says I really should or whatever. She is really adamant that she hasn't influenced me or told me what to do in any of this business with seeing my father and his parents, but she is forcing me into seeing my grandparents!! They always talk about me not seeing my father while I'm there as well and it's driving me mad.
What can I do about this?? My mother swears she isn't MAKING me see them, but she complains at me if I don't go, or punishes me by not letting me go out at the weekend or something. How do I make her see that she IS influencing my choices over seeing that side of my family?
No answers saying that I should see my family please!! That's not my question and I don't want that answer thanks. I'm very aware that they are my family, thank you very much, and that most people see theirs. Well I'm not most people, so no preaching if you guys don't mind! Thanks! (link)
Hey!
Well, you should see your family... but not if they treat you like crap! You should not be force into anything you don't want to tell you mother what is up tell her some of the things they have said. If that doesnt work you can always try to convince your grandparents to not want you to come anymore! Good Luck!

My brother is 12 years old. A couple years back, we would always get into fights and I would always yell at him back. He would just take it in, or cry. Lately, everytime we get into a fight..he get's VERY physical and will fight for whatever he says! He is very violent..(he will climb on you and jump and scratch the heck out of you)It's starting to scare me because I can't even yell over him anymore. He's only 12 and I think he needs anger management! My parents think it's my fault because I make him mad first..but the only reason I yell at him is to set him right. He is VERY out of control when he's mad and he cries ALOT. Please give advice.. i don't know how to take this anymore..(I would hit and scratch him back..but that would only make the problem worse and he would keep on persisting to claw me out)..I'm a 16\F by the way. Thanks..I rate (link)
Hey!
I agree your brother is... wow. Your parents need to see his rage and you have every right to try and fix him. Tell him he needs to find the middle there is no reason for him to hold it all in, which may be why he is so angry now, and his fury. Try to get him help if your parents won't listen then try to talk to counslers ECT. Good Luck God bless

I really want to enter the NA Miss Competition in my state, but my parents are big anti-modeling and anti-cheerleading because they think it's a brainless thing that only focuses on the outside. They don't really know that this competition takes grace, poise, and intelligence to win, and it's not even focused on beauty. I really want to let them know, but they have EXTREMELY closed minds about things like that. If I mention the word "model" in front of my mother, she flips out and gives me her anti-modeling speech. My parents are from a rigid family that believes in moral values and modesty, and there is only that in this competition. How can I show them that I want to be in this competition and open their minds to it? (link)
Hey!
Well I hate to tell you to go againist your parents will but here's what i would do.
First i would start out with a mom/dad(which ever one is easier to get to) "you know how you told me i could be anything i wanted to be when i grew up" they would be like "yes honey" then you should say "well its not like i want to pick up a career in modeling(even if you do want to) but i would like to particapate in the National American Miss compation."

Sure at first they may react with a no but you keep saying you told me i could be anything i wanted to be i just want to try this and see if its for me then give them the cold shoulder. Eventuly they will wear down (after 2 or 3 days of cold shoulder/begging) Hope i helped and i hope to see you on the National American Miss.

I feel like I am seperated from my family by a million universes. We seem so distant. I can barely hold a conversation, and I can definately not sit in the room with them without feeling awkward. I am like the reject of the family while everyone else is together in a happy wonderland. Is there anything that I can personaly do to get closer to my family? (link)
Hey!
Well first i would talk to your family see what is driving you apart. was there just a big problem or something. Or are they just waiting for you to come to them. This might sound corny, depending on your age, but set up a family night. Go to the mall, rent a movie, or just talk about random stuff. Believe me it really helps. I had the same problem a few years ago with my family, so every Monday night we go somewhere and do something, or even just stay at home and play board games. Good Luck
