Cell phone//parents
Posted Friday October 26 2007, 4:48 pm
Hi. Okay, well. For Christmas, my sister, brother & I all got cell phones for Christmas-and we have the basic plan along with 250 texts each [pr. month]---that costs $5.
I've been begging my mom to get unimited texting, which is $5 more than what we have. I've even offered to pay for it!
But anyways, here's the bad part.
Plain and simple, I went over last month ($10 worth) as did my brother- and she didn't make us pay for it.
Then I did it again this month-about $50 worth--as did me, my sister and my brother. It obviously wasn't done intentional, but she tells me that I should have learned from it the first time. And then she goes on to say that "there's no reason to haev unl...

How do you give advice, when you really don't know what to s
Posted Friday October 26 2007, 3:38 am
I have a friend, she's more like a little sister, and she often comes to me for advice. Usually they are matters that I can help her with or at least make her feel better when she needs to. She's been through a lot, growing up all she basically had was her mother and a tough mother to deal with at that. At times her mother wasn't the greatest and could be a real jerk, but there were some times she seemed to really care and take pride in her daughter. It's hard enough to tell my friend everything is going to be okay because her mom has a brain tumor, but now things have gotten worse. Her mother came here from Germany and was married then divorced and some how or another has been here illegally. Now she is probably being deported. Her lawyer...

Over protective
Posted Tuesday October 23 2007, 5:37 pm
Over all, my om and dad are pretty cool with letting me do things, but there is one that that really gets under my skin and bugs me!
They dont allow me to go to the mall by myself, i mean, sometimes they do, if im lucky, i just asked them for freedom and they said they'd allow me to do more things on my own. Which is good, but i know they wont let me go. In the past theyve let me go with my friend, but they know her and her mom real well. But i just got invited to go to the mall with a bunch of friends, and they said no! How the heck am i supposed to make friends, im a freshmanin high school, and made tons of new friends, theyve all asked me to go places with them, but i feel embarrassed telling them that im not allowed. They also s...

TOO YOUNG!
Posted Monday October 22 2007, 6:38 pm
I have a neice who lives with me, only seven years old. Im fourteen, and you know, we fight alot. This really aggravtes my parents, and Rays (Neices name) mom. But they dont believe me when i say that she starts most of the fights. Anyways, getting to the point. I really dont want to tell my parents or my friends this but- sometimes she really gets under my skin, and hurts my feelings. I know, it sound so stupid, but we used to be really close when she was little, i dont know what happened. I really dont. When i pass by her in the family room, shes watching tv, and VERY INNAPPROPRIATE THINGS! She watches mtv, and shes only seven! Shes clearly (in our family) not allowed to watch anything pg-13. Fair enough, so SHE DOES. She has full control...

I dislike my parents.
Posted Sunday October 21 2007, 2:23 pm
15/f. I dislike my dad and mom. I have nothing for them, nothing against them. I don't feel anything for them. They're like nobody to me. They don't ignore me or abuse me or anything. But I can't bring myself to say "I love you guys." Because I know I'll be bullshitting everyone. I also dislike my sister. My parents get me stuff I want, and they treat me like other parents treat their daughter. But I strongly dislike them. I love being alone, untouched, in my own room. Or instead, out of the house and away from them. I hate being involved with them. And my other relatives live in another country. I don't talk with my parents, and I don't need their advice. I don't confide in them. What can I do?
Any advice? :/

How can he leave us like this?
Posted Saturday October 20 2007, 5:35 pm
My dad`s been saying since he decided he was going to divorce my mom as soon as I graduated that we are poor. First of all, we live in one of the most expensive neighborhood to live in out of the whole county so that`s not true. Plus, my dad`s job has an extremely high payment. Half of the time, he`s yelling about money or cussing at us or telling us how stupid we are. The other half of the time, he`s not even home or is off with something with his work somewhere. He won`t EVER buy me ANYTHING rather I really need it or not. Anytime I want something, I have to take money out of MY savings account to get it. I was thinking earlier and I finally understand why he`s freaking out about how we supposedly have no money. In one year, the place whe...

i'm 54 and from texas. i moved to nc 3 yrs ago to help my kids with their kids. they both travel a lot for work and i stay with their children.I've had problems with depression and from jan to march of 07, i was homebound. my life was literally falling apart. my son and his wife confronted me about how things were getting bad for me. they offered to help however they could. my daughter in law took my finances and kept those perfectly for me until i was better. i barely remember what went on in that period of time but i did something because we had a great relationship until one day they brought back all my records and told me i did not respect them and they felt like i wasn't trying. it's been 6 months and our relationship is very cold and ...

Oppresive Parents
Posted Sunday October 14 2007, 4:20 pm
My friend is turning 20 in December and is in college. He is a good boy, doesn't do drugs, drinks socially but not excessively, and really is just a great person. He still lives at home with his parents because he is in school, but they are trying to control everything in his life and saying he is a disappointment and a bad kid when really he is not. He tries to make them happy and to please them but nothing he does works and they won't listen to any form of logic. They now have neighbors reporting to them when he has people come over to the house. He wants to leave but he has no where to go and cannot afford to live on his own. He just want to be able to live his own life and have them be happy but they won't allow that. Does anyone have a...

My parents ALWAYS fight!!
Posted Wednesday October 10 2007, 1:48 am
My parents have never had a healthy relationship, and they've been married for 30 years. They constantly fight! I don't mean to point the finger, but 99% of the time, my mom's at fault. She argues with everyone, every 5 minutes...honestly, if you leave my dad alone, he is calm and reasonable, but my mom's a fire cracker.
But anyway, all they do is fight. It's always been bad, but it's gotten worse- to the point where if they aren't fighting, there's usually tension, or true feelings aren't expressed. I am pretty sure that at some point they will get a divorce... whether or not they do isn't the issue. They will never, ever get along. No body gets along with my mother beyond the superficial level- i hate to say this about my own mot...
