My column is to help kids talk to their parents, also to help friendships and making friends, and being a good friend to your pet(s).

Is there a counselor at your school that you can arrange for you and your mum to have a meeting with? This way, there will be someone else there to tell your mum that name calling and putting all this stress on you is counter-proudictive.
Good luck!!

How about you try writing your mom a letter telling her how you feel.

Earlier I posed on Advicenators a question about whether I should get a second gift for my brother's baby shower (I got a pair of socks for start). I have since purchased a second gift but I'm hesitant to give it at the shower (which is two weeks away). It's a baby t-shirt from T-Shirt Hell and says "I can kick your baby's ass." I think it's funny and would make a nice change from all the cutesey baby shirts they're sure to get. (It's certainly less offensive than most of the other T-Shirt Hell baby shirts, if you check their website.) But what if someone (namely my brother or his wife) becomes offended? I doubt my brother will but I don't know his wife very well and I don't know if she's sensitive or not.
I tried to ask my brother (before I bought the shirt) if the shirt would be an all right gift, but I don't think he understood my question because he said if I didn't know what to get I should check the gift registry. (link)

Why don't you give the shirt to your brother in private or talk to him over the phone before you give the shirt to him.
