idk what to do anymore
Posted Tuesday July 29 2008, 2:03 pm
okay so first things first, don't preach to me about how i shouldn't be doing bad things blahh blahh, just answer the question. so about a month ago i got caught with a lighter, and a shot glass, kcool. everything was back to normal with my family in a matter of hours. then, like a week after my mom found my pipe and rolling papers, everything was back to normal and i was allowed to go out again that weekend. but, the day i went out, i got brought home by the police at like 4am. my family's acting normal again like nothing happened, but i'm afraid to ask to go out anymore, do you think they'll let me do stuff anytime soon?

Am I in the wrong to ask my older brother
Posted Tuesday July 29 2008, 8:18 am
This is sort of a rare question. You see my father died in August of last year, and now it's just me and my older brother living in the house for now. My mom moved, and I am the only daughter of my dads, therefore half of the house is mine. Anyways at first I was paying all the bills up until 4 months ago. Now I only give so much and my brother is paying mostly everything. The thing is he has ALOT of friends that come over all hours of the day and night. shower,eat,party etc. And I feel it has gotten out of hand because he's a nice guy and they take advantage of that. I was not comfortable in my own house. So I asked him if he could tone it down. Do I have that right? He agreed but I feel like I have some nerve. I just don't want t...

I messed up to the point of almost no return.

Okay, this is really long but I'm in desperate need of help so please take 5 min to help me.
I'm 16/f and I screwed up big time and it took me too long to realize what I've done. Long story short, I've really hurt my family by lying to them, deceiving them, and hiding things from them since 8th grade (and right now is the summer after 10th grade). I realized that I need to get myself together and stop doing whatever I want to do without thinking that there won't be any consequences. I told my mom I was sorry over a million times. I wrote her a front and back 3 page note telling her the things I realized & the way things are going to be and that I'll change not just for the family but for myself as well. But I've done tha...

my mom's boyfriend
Posted Monday July 28 2008, 12:31 am
15/f
I really don't like my mom's boyfriend! He's been around for about a year now, and at first I really hated him, mainly cause my mom always spent time with him and not me. When i decide to "open up" and tell my mom, she ended up breaking up with him and making me feel REALLY guilty. So i got his number, called him, and told him to come back because it was all a misunderstanding and my mom needed him. That was about a year ago, and i kind of pushed my feelings aside to make my mom happy and kind of got over it. But now, it's starting to bother me again. He doesn't even technially live here, but he's ALWAYS here. ALWAYS. I can't ever be with my mom alone anymore because he's always with her. They go together everwhere pre...

Trying to help my father
Posted Sunday July 27 2008, 2:55 am
I'm 18; my parents got divorced when I was 11, and I started having unsupervised visits to my dad's apartment when I was 13. I worry about my father - he takes his drugs and sees his psychologist and doctor, but the fact remains that he has bipolar disorder and very high blood pressure, and he refuses to try and help himself. He lives in a tiny, roach-infested apartment that smells horrendous, and he never cleans it. He eats red meat all the time, and never eats fresh vegetables. I've tried to talk to him about his diet and his living conditions many times, but he'll never listen, and if I ever try to help clean up the apartment he stops me, saying that there's no need for me to spend our limited time together doing chores. . . but our time...

what is the best way
Posted Saturday July 26 2008, 1:07 pm
my sister always hits my brother. ALL THE TIME. for nothing. And he is always left with very very bad marks. And they are both old enough to stop it. They're 14. And its ridiclous. Also, even if you SEE her hit him she will say she never did it. Its pathetic! And you can try and try and she will never admit it. Its been going for sometime now and today she hit him really bad he was bleeding.All because he didnt feel like going for a walk with her. My mum went ballistic and my mum would neevr hurt a fly. She told her off but this time whacked her but not hit her. Its wasnt HARD but it was sure to hurt a little...but my mum hit her with a loo roll so it couldnt of hurt that bad but she did. My mum said to her if your going to hit him, i will ...

only kindness matters...
Posted Friday July 25 2008, 9:30 pm
I am a very gentle person, but not when I'm with my family...they tend to get the worst of me. Sometimes they'll do things that are obnoxious and rude. I have tried to hold my tongue, but it is so hard. Why am I trying to correct their behavior...How can I stop? I love them too much to keep putting them down!

My sister
Posted Friday July 25 2008, 6:03 pm
My sister and I used to be close back when we were kids, but now...well...I try to do stuff with her, like go out on Saturday nights, but she always says, "I hate you!" and she's been saying this for years. I mean, not out of the blue, but...sometimes I'm just so sad that I want to break down and cry, and sometimes I do.
She's 18 and I'm thirteen, and this all started when I was eleven. I have no clue what I've done wrong to upset her! She's like this to only ME! To everyone else, she's a sweety pie.
Last year was her last year of highschool, and when she left for college, she didnt even say "goodbye" to me or hug me, she just hugged my parents goodbye and drove off, ignoring me. Whenever she comes home wi...

Orientation issues?

So I was checkin out my cousins myspaces the other day...
Lets say Her name is Lauren.
And his is Ryan.
Well I hung out with Lauren about five days ago and she was talkin about these two guys she liked. But then today i read her "about me" on Myspace. And it was talkin about how she's done with guys cuz there all the same. And they all break her heart. So do you think this is just a phase for her? (shes 16 going on 17)
Then theres my cousin Ryan. I dont talk to him much. But i looked at his Myspace today and in his "orietation" space it said "Not Sure." So do you think that means theres a chance of him being gay? (hes 13)
