Nothing Else Left To Do.
Posted Tuesday May 15 2007, 8:03 pm
Okay, so basically my sister and I fight constantly, physically and verbally. It's been going on for almost two years. I'm tired of it, but espceially tired of crying about it all the time and my parents not doing anything about it, or punishing us by grounding us or something instead of actually trying to solve the problem. Over the past two weeks the fighting has gotten alot worse. So I've been trying to talk to my parents about it, and at first they seemed like they were going to do something about it finally. But I should have known that wouldn't last long. All they did was put us on punishment again, so I got really mad and started yelling at them both about it. That they never actually do anything and my sister still gets to d...

jealous over mom's boyfriend
Posted Tuesday May 15 2007, 2:46 pm
14/f
My mom recently got divorced like 2 years ago. She's been dating other men recently and I really haven't had any problems with it...but suddenly she's been dating this one guy she's really interested in (lets call this guy Joe).
I actually like Joe and I don't have a problem with him. But I'm starting to get jealous of the time my mom is spending with him. My mom is always very busy with schoolwork and "paying bills" she says, so she doesn't have a lot of time to do things with me. Now she's with Joe a lot...he comes over a lot...she's on the phone with him a lot...and it upsets me she always tells me she's busy yet she has so much time to be with him. Not only that, but the time my mom and I ARE together, she'...

Parents hate my boyfriend.
Posted Monday May 14 2007, 12:01 am
I'm a 14/f. And I have a WONDERFUL boyfriend. Yeah, say I'm to young to be inlove, I don't care.
Anyways, i'm white, and my boy friend is mixed(black&white), well..my parents are exactly rascists..but they are really bad to stereotype and they think all blacks are bad and they think they all steal..and kill people. lol. Well, they think that about my Bf. And none of it's true. And it's not his fault what his color is. And really, if you were blind and he never told you that he had black in him, you'd never know.
He doesn't try to act all 'gangstuh' and 'ghetto'...he actually leans more to the emo/scene. Haha.
But, still, my parents dislike him, and i've let him meet my mother twice. and still...she hates ...

Well when my mom and dad were married, they adopted 4 kids, myself, my younger brother, my older brother, and my older sister.
We arent blood related, all different, but from the same country.

abusive dad
Posted Sunday May 13 2007, 11:37 am
I'm just really scared right now. My dad has
just got finished with hitting me over and
over again and he took a plastic hanger and
just keep whacking me with it on my toes. And
that kills! I kept trying to run away but I
was too in shock to move out of his reach and
my sister doesn't think anything of it because
he does it a lot so she thinks that's what your
supposed to do. After watching my dad hit me,
my sister frequently elbows me or punches me in
the stomach if we play hide and seek and she loses.
My parents buy my sister everything and play games
with her and treat her well but they treat me
like I'm a piece of crap. They call me "...

parent's ocd is ruining life
Posted Sunday May 13 2007, 12:24 am
My life is really messed up. My mom has severe OCD and she basically ruins my life. She's a great person, although slightly annoying, but living with her is hell. My house is a mess because shes a packrat. We keep collecting junk. I can never have friends over because there's no where for us to hang around. They think my family is like part of the CIA or something cause I've never invited them over. I never have any place to work or do my homework. My parents are way too overprotective and never let me do anything normal teens can do like walk uptown or get dropped off at the movies. I'm not allowed to date until I'm a senior and even then its looked down upon. Once a guy friend called my house and she totally spazzed. & associating wit...

13/f
ok hey, I have this really annoying cousin that thinks she's WAY better than everyone else. especially me.
ex: ok, like, whenever i get a bf and bring him over to the house to meet my mom or whatever, she'll constantly flirt with him and try to get him alone and certain stuff like that, just to boost her ego and pretty much show me that she can get any guy i can.

definition and reassurance
Posted Thursday May 10 2007, 11:02 pm
What is your definition of skinny enough and is my mom saying that I was overweight before and now I am skinny or am I reading too much into this: STORY: I am thin and A FEW DAYS AGO when I came home from work I changed into a tee-shirt but wore the same pants I wore to work. She asked me as I sat down to eat if I lost weight, and I said no, but this upset me. I said to her that she always tells me I look beautiful. She said you do look beautiful but your pants look bigger. And she told me that I am skinny enough."
