Reasoning with my brother who thinks he's always right....
Posted Friday July 18 2008, 11:06 am
I have a big brother who's the type that never admits when he's wrong. In an argument, even if it's blatantly obvious that he's wrong, and even with other people in the room telling him that he's wrong, he will never admit it. He condemns me for trying to defend myself, and will even use hateful and hurtful words to try to win the argument. I try desperately not to let it bother me, but he gets me so angry and frustrated, I can't even get my words out correctly, and then he uses that to his advantage and brings me to my knees. I need help!

i have always had a GREAT relationship with my older brother, 16, probably beacause i live a very long distance from him but hes pretty much like my best friend. hes always been able to get girls because of his looks and personality, and ive always gotten to know all of these girls because he wants me to. same way with me i always have a boyfriend, and he alwasy wants to talk to them and see how they are, but this past summer when i went to visit him, he had jsut gotten his liscense, and hes been able to drive me places and stuff. so we decided to go pick up his new girlfriend so i could meet her. shes very cute and pretty, but she treats him like crap! and i think he treats her really good and i think he deserves better. hes a ...

sexual abuse
Posted Thursday July 17 2008, 5:16 am
I need some advice FAST I want to know what to do about my boyfriends son, I think he was molested by another boy when he was younger. He is on the verge of telling us. He is 22 yrs old. He has alot of rage inside of him, he has just beat up his girlfriend & talks of thoughts of killing people.
How do we handle this when he tells us (which I suspect is the molestation I mentioned) What is the appropriate thing to say & then do after the fact. He does not trust or like alot of people, I'm afraid of where he is headed

my girlfriends step-mom has more control then her dad - what to do?
Posted Wednesday July 16 2008, 10:59 pm
Alright so my girlfriend of 7 months has gone through a lot. More than anyone I know and I am surprised she is still her. But anyways she just got a cell phone 4 or 5 months ago and it's a pay as you go phone. Her step-mom said she could only use it for emergencies. Of course like any teenager she didn't go by this. But she buys all her own phone cards and everything. Well a few nights ago I was talking to her about our amazing weekend (long story) well my phone has bad reception in my house so I thought it had dropped the call. I waited a minute to call her back and when I did her step-mom answered. Thats when I figured out she hung up because she came in. Well anyways she told me that she was only to be using this phone for emergencies an...

My Dad
Posted Monday July 14 2008, 4:16 pm
WARNING: this is long!
I'm 16/f and my sister is rather annoying so my dad somehow favors me. It's kind of awkward because he feels like he can tell me stuff that makes me uncomfortable. Like whenever mom and him get in a fight he comes and tells me everything what he hates about her. Or he'll sit there and curse like a sailor when he knows it bothers me (I tell him it bothers me but he simply says "If I wanna curse in my house I will"). Also he'll tell these inapropriate (sp?) jokes to me and it's just uncomfortable.
About a few months ago he was diagnosed with cancer, he's fine now but now he feels like since he's had treatment and everything I HAVE to sit there and listen to him carry on like a little kid. I love...

Mothers
Posted Sunday July 13 2008, 12:43 am
My mom wants me to be a total conformist and I flat-out refuse, but she yells at me because I don't wear make-up or spend years on my hair or dumb myself down for boys. Then she yells at me for not doing my schoolwork and stuff that just contradicts everything she said 5 minutes ago she wants me to do. I usually have really good control over my temper but she simply will not allow me to remain calm when we argue, so I yell at her (she's the only person I've ever had to yell at in my entire life) and she smacks me! Do you see a way out of my predicament, because I don't. 15/f

abuse
Posted Saturday July 12 2008, 1:54 pm
female, 16
i have been diagnosed with depression and take 30mg of prozac once a day.
i'm strongly under the impression that it is fueled by emotional abuse from my family (father, mother, sister), but i don't know how to say anything about it or do anything about it. i don't feel safe and i sure as !$#@ don't feel happy.
forgive me for not really being able to provide very much of a background story... i really don't know what to do, i feel very stuck..
