My parents don't listen to me
Posted Thursday October 2 2008, 7:24 pm
I'm 17 and a highschool senior and I am having MANY issues with my parents. They only hear the negative things. I was telling my mom how I excused myself from my senior government class due to the fact that I get very aggitated during
political debates and kindly explained this to my teacher so he let me leave the classroom for the first thirty minutes. The teacher is extremely flexible and did not have any problem with this at all. When telling my mom an entirely different
story I mentioned this and she went on this whole rant about how I can't do that because the teacher will take it as me saying 'I don't want to do this because I don't feel like it so I'm leaving'. This is just one example of their selective hearing. I co...

My brother just got his girlfriend pregnant!
Posted Wednesday October 1 2008, 9:30 pm
To start, my brother and I are extremely close, considering I'm his LITTLE sister (by 2 years) and he's sixteen. Our close relationship is the reason I am asking this, not because I'm being a nosy little sister.
Ok, My brother, sixteen, has a girlfriend who is seventeen. They claim to be "in love" and I have no doubt they love each other, but I don't know how long it will last once my brother knocks over the first dominoe by telling my parents.
My brother, recovering pot addict, bipolar, extremely OCD, and a little schitzophrenic has gone through quite a lot over the last 4 years or so. He's had his ups and downs, usually dragging the rest of our family (2 younger sisters age seven and eight, My dad, My mom, and me) ...

He needs help.
Posted Friday September 19 2008, 9:28 am
So I moved to Minnesota to live with a family friend while I finish up my senior year. Well the people I live with consist of A mom and her son. Her son is 19 almost 20 and he does absolutely nothing with his life. He dropped out of school his senior year and ever since that hes been wasting away at the computer. He won't find a job because hes never actually faced reality before, hes scared to even talk to a stranger on the phone. His mom doesn' know what to do shes never really forced him to do anything and now its to a point where she can't now if she tried. He throws fits and gets angry at her easily. He doesn't really have any friends anymore and hes beginning to show signs of severe depression by staying up in his room all day long in...

Dependant older relative not moving out.
Posted Wednesday September 17 2008, 8:43 pm
Have a family and a relative staying with us. It was supposed to be temp but it has been 4 years now. Our family is wanting to have our own private time but it is hard with this relative not making changes and not even trying to be more independent. This person has certain addictions and is not up for any change, but change needs to happen because we have a young person that needs a room of their own. It is frustrating dealing with this relative and expects everything done for him and if its not, well that is another story, I blame myself for doing everything for this person but I have made him so dependent on me and my family I am not sure what to do...
If I did not make anything clear and there is more questions please let me know...

My house is no longer a home.
Posted Wednesday September 17 2008, 1:21 am
Hi. I'm 18, and yes, I am an adult living at home with my parents.
I hate being here. My parents try and live for me. I know that while I live under their roof, rules apply, and that I need to respect the rules and my parents. But I think my mom's too controlling. I still have a curfew (usually around midnight. EVERY night). My mom insists on meeting every friend I make before she allows me out of the house with them, and I'm FORBIDDEN to go to dance clubs or even the hookah bar a lot of my friends chill (even though I don't smoke, and she knows that). Everytime we argue, she ends up screaming at me, and when she gets really mad, she'll take my bedroom door away. She has to know where I am at all times, and if I'm not doing ...

sister siter no one can resist her
Posted Monday September 15 2008, 1:06 am
so my sister has been having trouble with the family... ALOT. i admit she is a pain in the ass and a demon at times but regardless she's my sister and i really feel that i ought to help her :S....
well she doesn't deny she loves the fam but what worries me is her pessimistic attitude towards them and towards life because of them... she believes everyone is evil and bad and she believes that there is no good at all and she must keep a wall to herself and fend for herself and put a barrier so she doesn't get hurt... my family is so borderline and dysfunctional so i understand why she's feeling the way she does... it's just that i don't want her being this pessimistic and impulsive and defensive about everything... i tried talking but s...

My mom dissagrees AGAIN!
Posted Sunday September 14 2008, 8:20 pm
So I keep asking my mom if I can get peirced again or tattoed and she says no and I can live with that. Then today I find out we are moving this summer and she is changing my whole life while doing so and then I decied I was going to be a vegetarian [I have been thinkin about it for months] and I asked her about it and she said no. I didnt get it I asked her why and she said that she doesnt think I should. I think it's stupid that she is chaning my life without even asking me or me haing a say in it and I want to do one thing because I really cant stand hurting an animal anymore and she disagrees.
How can I get her to ler me do more things?
and how do I get her to agree to letting me be a vegetarian?
I mean you only live once and tommarow you may not be here

Should I search for my real parents?
Posted Saturday September 13 2008, 5:08 pm
I'm 17 years old and was adopted a little over 10 years ago by people I love very much. I can't help but wonder, though, about my real family. I have so many questions I want to ask them and I just want to know who they are. I'm not necessarily looking for a relationship - I don't think I could ever even consider calling them mom or dad, but I just have so many thoughts going on.
I'm afraid of hurting my parents - my adopted parents, that is. I don't want to tell them that I want to search for my birth parents because I don't want to upset them. I'm happy that they adopted me and even though we don't always get along, I know I have a better life here than I would have.
Would I be hurting my parents too much if I tell them I wa...
