My mom constantly makes fun of me and I've had it I'm 13 years old I I'm a guy get average grades and I DONT KNOW EVERYTHING. Recent events struck the match and put on the line but today the TNT exploded and I can't take it anymore. I've had therapy and my mom lied just so she can be right. She does this also. But the thing that lit the match was how she mocks me just earlier today, I was loading my dishwasher and there was this vegetable grater we had that we NEVER USED so I asked her. " where in the dishwasher can I put this?"she said "I can figure it out", so I said "but we've never used it and Evan if we have I've never had to put it in the dishwasher" then she started mocking my voice and saying stuff that really made me cry. And the worst part... I over heard her talking to a friend, she said," my method of parenting is to torment and tamper with there feelings so they will start acting mature. I told her I heard what she said and how the method made me feel. And she said she'll try something different. It didn't even last a week. I just gave up and started a journal but she keeps reading it and writing in it, then she uses
It to haunt me later in LIfe. so I have no choice but to use my
phone and make sure I keep it on me at all times I change my password frequently and make sure she doesn't touch it and if she does I go on my iPad and select it, copy it, then delete it and when she asked why I go on my iPad when she looks at my phone I say I need to check on a downloading app or remembered I had to do something I don't know what to do (link)
I\'m really sorry to hear this and I will try to offer you the best advice I can without being there to see everything that happens.

I don\'t want to say your mom is bad or good, but obviously something is not working. I will take your word that she says and does this stuff.

If she reads your journal, maybe it\'s best you didn\'t have one. She is clearly hurting you by reading it and using it so either you try your best to stop using it, or find a really good hiding spot. Maybe in your drawers under some clothes, under your mattress, somewhere in your closet. Try and find a place where she wouldn\'t look or it would be hard to find.

As for the phone situation, keep it on you at all times and make sure you type in your password secretly so she doesn\'t see it. If you go to the bathroom, take it with you. If you go get something to eat, have it with you. And if you can\'t take it with you for some reason find a hiding spot. Wrapped in clothes in your drawers, under the mattress etc.

She shouldn\'t be treating you this way at all. Do you have a father in your life? If so, talk to him about it. If not, maybe a trusted adult, a friend? Continue to talk to your mom about how she makes you feel, and if you ever need more advice, I\'d be more than happy to give some.



Can opening a website on your phone put a hack and/or virus on your phone? Help ASAP please, I'm scared that might happen. (link)
I don't think it's possible. I've opened way to many "unsafe" sites on my phone and nothing has happened. And I've never heard of anything of the sort happening unless somone who is smart enough deliberately tries to put a virus on your phone (which I doubt it possible), I wouldn't worry


I wanna do something fun creatative and EASY for fourth of july for my nails. Ive done tie dye dipping and dripping designs but they dont turn out the way i want it. Soo can you please help. (link)
Red and white striped nails are so cute and easy as pie to do! You can even do a small version of the American flag but that might be a bit too hard. You could paint your nails red, and on top do a firecracker in the colours white and blue. Or paint them then put JULY FOURTH on then. (One letter per finger)


If you block someone on instagram, does that effectively "block" you from theirs? I know that's kind of the way it works with blocking people on Facebook; if you block someone, my only can they not see your things, but their things are hidden from you as well. Someone blocked me on instagram before I could get the chance to block her. I don't even care about seeing her things but I don't want her to see anything of mine, but of course since she's blocked me, I can't find her profile to block her back. So can she still see my things, or since she blocked me are my things already hidden? (link)
I am 99.9% sure she can't see any of your pictures. Its usually works that way for blocking with anything really. So don't worry. And that 0.1% chance that she possibly could, I doubt she'd want to look at your pics if she blocked you


My body itching an lil black spots r on me (link)
Very vague question. I suggest going to the doctors to get it checked out or look for some online possible solutions


One of my friends created a Facebook page for her small business. I unliked the page because I felt like I didn't care enough to get updates or support the page. She recently re-invited me to "like" her page...and I felt a bit embarrassed that she probably saw I no longer liked it, and wanted to remedy that. So I "liked" it again out of courtesy to her. My question is, do people who create Facebook pages immediately realize when someone unlikes their page? Does this seem like something kind of rude or mean to do, if my friend realized I unliked her page? I don't mean to look into it too much, but I have a feeling that she saw I didn't like her page, felt offended, and invited me to like it to bring to my attention that she is aware I unliked her page. Or maybe it's just my thought... (link)
I don't think they realize immediately unless they pay that much attention to their page. You can try unliking it again in hopes she doesn't notice, tell her you don't think it's relevent enough to you (in a polite way of course) or just keep it as a liked page and ignore updates on your newsfeed.


what should i do for fun in the summer?? (link)
This is such a vague question as there are tons of thing do to in the summer.

Swimming, mini golf, go karting, beach, park, amusment park, movies, boating, biking, sleepovers, bbqs, camps, sports, kayaking, rock climbing, laser tag, water balloon/gun fights, going out for ice cream, slushies or dinners, concerts, hikes, travelling etc.

There are a whole bunch of stuff you can do! Just look around!

Hope I could help, good luck :) x


I've decided I'm going to try to start writing. I think it could be a fun and interesting hobby I might really be able to get into. But of course I have concerns. I've made up the main story line in my head just not the characters names, titles, and my writing style. Lol a lot I know! It's going to be present day non-fiction with a little twist of horror in it. That's the kind of books I like to read. Not horror as in Stephen king but just a little kick. :) For names I'm just going to get that list that shows every baby name from A-Z. Titles hopefully I will figure out. So my main question is my writing style. I think I'm going to look at some of my favorite series and try that style out. That wouldn't be plagiarism, would it? I'm not going to copy names of characters and stuff just the style. That would be okay, right? Thanks! :) (link)
I love your enthusiasm for learning and trying out new things. I love to write myself, and have actually published things online, and even won prizes for my writing pieces.

Coming up with story ideas can be really tough, but looking at some of your favourites and getting inspiration from that is a good start. It is not plagarism unless you copy the whole book, or your story is almost completely identical. There is nothing wrong with using books you love for inspiration and ideas.

Hope your new hobby benifits you. Best of luck!
