I NEED A BRA!!!!!
Posted Thursday July 12 2007, 9:39 pm
I am going into 8th grade. The first and last time my mom actually bought me a bra was in the beginning of 6th grade. That bra is a 34 A and i'm sorry it's old, sweaty and my boobs got way bigger from then. I'm not exagerrating. I know what you are thinking: ask your mom to get you a new one, stupid. My mom is SOO IMMATURE when it comes to stuff like that. Today we were in old navy and OH MY GOSH! PRAISE THE LORD! MOM ASKED IF I NEEDED A BRA. I was about to say yes but she was like giggling and gesturing to her boobs and smiling. So I said no and turned red and walked away. I know I should buy my own, but I buy alot of my other stuff that my mom won't buy. It takes me a while to even earn 60 dollars from babysitting, and I don't want to buy...

i'm stuck
Posted Thursday July 12 2007, 2:29 am
Okay well, all my life I felt like I have grown up all by myself. My parents weren't really there for me. I am the oldest out of four kids, and my parents would always leave us at my grandma's house when we were young. And when I started school they started leaving us at home alone. My parents would always be too tired, so they would never help me with my homework. I felt that I had to grow up and become someone important just so they can pay attention. So I would try so hard at school. I would get straight A's, get awards, and other stuff. But they simply didnt' show that they cared. They just always said "good job" and that's it. As I got older they kept pressuring me to become a lawyer at age 9. I felt so pressured. And now at ...

ABUSE, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Posted Wednesday July 11 2007, 1:18 am
Can your dad/father/parent be arrested for slapping/hitting you?
Heres the low down.
My mom doesnt live with me and my dad.
He blames everything on me.
He calls me everything in the book.
Uses the word fuck in every sentence.
Calls me worthless piece of shit, little fuck, bitch, bastard, remarked about braces and he said fuck your teeth, says "I'm getting sick of you", "go live with your mom".
He accuses my mom of EVERYTHING.
He says that people break into our houses, just to justify that he's better than my mom.
He apologizes, but it's getting to be worthless sorries. I get it all the time.
He's stubborn and he won't listen to anyone.
He's over...

My parents forgot my birthday...
Posted Tuesday July 10 2007, 3:02 pm
My birthday was June 30th. It was my 16th birthday. I don't know why they forgot my birthday.. they've never forgotten anything of mine before. There wasn't anything going on around that time.. I don't know what the problem is! I am not a bad girl.. my GPA is a 3.85 and I'm always doing chores. Why did they forget? Should I say something? Because every time I tell them they did something wrong, even if it was that they didn't put on their seatbelt, I'm grounded for 2 weeks, and I'm not even exaggerating.
Its been almost 3 weeks since my birthday..

I need my parents to give me space.
Posted Monday July 9 2007, 4:54 pm
My parents will not let me go one day without them getting on my case about anything. When I've done my chores, they're getting me on my case about my driving. When thats done, they resort to just saying I need to shape up.
I've got a busy schedule, and I just want one day to relax when I dont have anything planned. I tell them I want a day off to myself, but they get angry.
How can I get them to just give me some space when I need it?

Boarding School
Posted Monday July 9 2007, 4:45 pm
fourteen / female
Background: For the past two years of my life, i've had really bad social anxiety. Becuase of it, i've had to switch schools to an alternative school. I wasn't going to my regular middle school last year, I was skipping out of class and I did that for about five months until someone intervened.
The next month I was in my new school. It had very different kinds of people, and it was more diverse as far as race went. It made me feel a lot more comfortable. When I was going through this hard time, I lost a lot of friends. I only have three really good friends now, and because I switchced schools and they have other friends besides me, I don't get to see them a lot.

Neglected as a youngster
Posted Monday July 9 2007, 2:01 pm
When I was little, my parents never spent time with me, never talked to me unless it was about something i did wrong, and really brought me down.
Now I'm 16, and I'm used to living without my parents basically. They're there, but not there for me.
I think my childhood led up to the reason why I don't have any esteem at all.
I'm trying to make up for those years by hanging out with my friends- and they're calling me "clingy".
I need to try and make up for those little positive moments i never had as a kid, I need to get my esteem past the level of zero.
Any advice on how I can do this?

No one understands me. At all.. I cannot talk to my Mom okay?? It's just not that easy. Through school I try so hard to be someone, loved by teachers, known by friends.. I mean I have friends and most teacher love that I get awsome grades but my Mom doesn't. It seems like she couldn't careless if I dropped dead. I came home early from camping because I had my periode and my Mother tweeked saying schools not everything (love story**summer reading stuff like that**) Well it is to me. Im a staright A student and my mom could careless. I mean if my brother Scott actually got a D she'd be SOO proud! I know people might say she expects more out've me but everytime I do my best she ssays I could do better, or to try harder and she acts like im not her daughter.

16/f
I live with my grandparents, father, and brother and my mom lives in another state. I'm gonna be a senior next year and then I can go off to college [thank god]. My grandmother gets me so irritated. This year I started playing computer games, rather than be like my cousins and get all obsesed with makeup and looks and all that. I really really honestly don't care about makeup and i'm not gonna take hours to figure out my hair and what to wear each day. I don't think that's fun at all, it's more like torture.
That's one of my many problems with my family. Once I go off to college I know i'll be happier, no matter what. I wanted to start playing this neww game that my brother loves playing but she won't stop...
