Hello - so sorry to hear what you are going through. Have you spoken with a school counselor yet? They might be able to help you as well as talk with your mother. Also, at age 14, you are old enough to seek counseling on your own - just call your local community mental health agency. By all means - don't quit trying or talking to someone. Make an agreement with your friend to talk once a day. We'll all be pulling for you!

Unfortunately, there was plenty of peer pressure when your parents were young (just watch some of the movies made about it in that time era), and that may be where some of their distrust comes from. Parents remember well the times they or someone they knew made choices their parents disapproved of. I think that MissBonne's advice to have your friends over is a good one - that way your parents begin to see them as people rather than just possible problems. If you feel that you can't talk to your parents about your feelings - try writing them in a letter (when you are calm).

I need so much help right now.
I'm on maternity leave, and my husband is out of work due to a hand injury. He spent money that he shouldn't have, and now we're broke.
Rent is due today, and I'm several hundred dollars short. The phone bill and electric bill are both overdue. Our fridge is empty except for condiments. My parents have been feeding our daughter, but we both haven't been eating. Our cars have no gas, and we can't afford more.
All the food banks in my area told me they're out of food and vouchers due to the holidays, and they don't know when they'll have more.
Someone please help me. We're hungry and we can't pay our bills. (link)

Hello! Forgive me for asking about avenues you might have already tried. Have you contacted the Salvation Army? They are often a good source of help in these situations. Also - talk to the utility companies (I know that can be difficult) and see if they are aware of any special programs. Your local Department of Human Services might be able to help - also, many churches provide a one-time assist for utility bills and some communities have special programs for this. Check with your Chamber of Commerce and have them check into it - ABOVE ALL - DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DISMISSED! INSIST ON ANSWERS! That's what these agencies are there for and why they have jobs. I'll check back to see if you have any luck!
