I have a bit of a parents problem.
Posted Monday December 29 2008, 3:13 pm
I'm a freshman in high school and turned 14 about 5 months ago. Over the summer I started dating this guy, whose name will be X for the sake of saving space and keeping my identity somewhat hidden. X is my first boyfriend and he's a great guy. Our problem is that we go to two different schools. I barely get to see him. The last time we hung out was about 2 months ago. We've been keeping our relationship a secret because my parents are extremely idiotic and think that their daughter (me) shouldn't have a boyfriend until she's 16 at least. So because of this I can't leave my house to see him because I know they won't take me anywhere. A few weeks ago my dad found out about me and X because my brother was a snitch and told him. My dad yelled a...

Spending time with mom
Posted Sunday December 28 2008, 11:07 am
Hey, im 16f. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas of things that I could do with my mom so we can do something that both of us will be involved and interested in. I was thinking when i get my liscence in a few weeks I could maybe drive her somewhere for a surprise activity, since we dont live in the city. I was thinking maybe a movie,mini golfing,or a spa. Any ideas would be great

We've grown apart.
Posted Saturday December 27 2008, 2:16 am
In 2000 my grandparents got divorced, by this time I was seven years old, & I didnt think old people was supposed to divorce, needless to say, my grandpa had found someone over the internet. He left my grandma, I see my grandma almost everyday, but in the past 8 years, I bet I could count on one hand how many times I've seen my papaw, and I could count on maybe three fingers how many times he's told me he loves me since the separation.
This Christmas was the first Christmas I'd seen my Grandpa in a longg time. I miss him soo much, I'm so afraid that I dont have much time to restore our relationship. And something else that doesnt help, this woman, that lives with him, wont even let me see him. I use to call, when I was little, to...

Finding a Place to call home
Posted Saturday December 27 2008, 12:30 am
Hey, I am 16f and I am not feeling very happy lately,or at all. I am just so frustrated. My 'used to be friend" totally ruined our friendship since she used me to get to my brother,months ago. I cannot stand seeing her EVERY single night when she comes to suck faces with him and be a hooker for him. Its like I have this hole within me,in my heart,that just fills with hatred when my "friend" comes into the house. I can't stand to look at her since she lyed to me,backstabbed me,has my whole family on her side,and used me. No one understands that what she did is basically unforgivable. And I can't stop thinking about it since the problems live in my house. I just want to get away from this all, move somewhere decent, run away or...

age
Posted Friday December 26 2008, 6:35 pm
I am 17 and a senior in high school. I have been talking to a 15 yr old freshman. The thing is, he likes me. I know I do like him, too..so that's a factor. Anyway, he calls me, and we talk on aim a lot. He wants to hang out soon. He isn't like me at all, but yet..thats what i like about him. So, when we were on the phone and stuff.. like when people are in the room and they're talking to him, he tells them how i'm 17 and acts like its a big deal. BUt, when people leave the room he is really interested in talking to me. The thing is, I don't know if I should go out with him because of the fact that he is 15, and I will be leaving to college (which I know im going to, I already got accepted) in the next 7 or so months. I don't know if I sho...

my mom and i have a pretty good relationship. we've always had a pretty good relationship. except for maybe one minor detail that's not so minor..... she's obsessed with me! she is absolutely and totally out of control sometimes. there's one thing that REALLY bothers me. she goes on my facebook and she spies on me like if i were a little kid. i've changed my password various times, and when i do she doesnt leave me alone until i tell her what it is. she just won't leave me alone. and then, i have to tell her because i'll be studying or reading or about to leave to the gym, doing something PRODUCTIVE with my life, instead of looking at facebook, and there she is, bothering me. so, i kind of have to tell her. but, i think its going to rain on...

my moms boyfriends behavior
Posted Friday December 26 2008, 6:30 am
Ok I am pissed at my mom's new boyfriend. Cause it seems to me that he can not really committ to my mom. I know its not of my business but sometimes I feel that he is curious about me with things I dont want him to know about. And I feel like he thinks I am hot and I dont want him looking at me that way and when with hot I mean that is isnt in a way to compliment. I dont even want other man to do that.

Should I write my mom a letter and what do you think of her remarks
Posted Thursday December 25 2008, 9:24 pm
My mom is in her early 80‘s, I am in my early 50‘s. I have no idea how to handle her any more.
Ok this is going to sound weird but here goes. Here is the background: I go to the 99 cent store and I have purchased beautiful sweaters, blouses, pants, blazers. All top quality - Liz Claiborne , Ralph Lauren, New York & Co, to name a few, plus unknowns but in top quality. I don't buy the crap. The cashiers and customers all tell me I get the great quality stuff. My friends and relatives ask me if I purchased them at Lord & Taylor's or other expensive stores. I have tons of clothes from the 99 cent store. Also one of the blouses I purchased back in June was a pink paisley and when I showed it to my mom she held it u...

Christmas Gift Exchange
Posted Wednesday December 17 2008, 9:47 am
I exchange Christmas gifts with my brother and his wife in another state each year. This year I chose to make a donation in their name to a National charity. When my sister-in-law received the card notification, she e-mailed me saying that she already makes a donation to this charity each month and I should have told them that's how I wanted to give gifts this year because they already bought one for me and my 14 year old daughter. In my opinion, her response does not reflect the true spirit of giving. I sent a curt reply that I don't usually tell recipients what I'm giving them for gifts, and if their gifts to us are predicated on what I give, then please don't mail ours. The situation deteriorated in a later phone call, and I feel te...
