Posted Wednesday March 14 2007, 3:07 pm
Hi
Im a 15 year old Male from the UK
I found out my dad watches porn when i was about 12. I found this out because i was just looking through some videos to put on and found a tape with porn on it. The really bad thing is.. my friends were also there :(. 2 of them to be precise. We watched some of it.. to.. you know.. and they asked me. "where the hell did that come from?", i said, "it must be my Dads". The reason i said that was because i had'nt watched porn, my mum doesnt watch porn. So it must have been my Dad.

How to get over your dad leaving behind his family for his g
Posted Wednesday March 14 2007, 1:22 am
We recently found out my dad has a girlfriend and has had her for a few years. My parents are now going thru a divorce and have been for the past two years (since we found out) He says he wants a relationship with my older sister and I but shows us otherwise. He is verbally abusive to us and when living at home he started drinking heavily and started to get physically abusive. I just want to know how to get over not having the man I looked up to my whole life? I am 24 years old and I dont want this to affect anymore of my personal relationships any longer. So if anyone has any advice please let me know how to get over my dad leaving me and how to not let it affect my future relationships? Thanks!

Parents maybe getting a divorce
Posted Tuesday March 13 2007, 5:14 pm
My parents have recently told me that they might get divorced. I actually found this as a shock because they used to fight a lot, but the fighting seemed to have stopped. I've been really upset because if they do decide to divorce, than not only will my parents lives be different, so will mine and my 3 younger brothers who have no clue what's going on. Anyway, what kind of stuff happens in a divorce and what should I expect? How can I deal with this?

My mom

I'm 15/f. I love my mom I really do, but all she does is complain about how unperfect we are. Me and my sister are adopted and it seems like she regrets it everyday. It's always "I've never seen children so iressponsible/filthy/stupid." Me and my sister try we really do. Here's the question: What am I supposed to do if she's never happy with me?
thanks,

My Mom
Posted Monday March 12 2007, 10:22 pm
I am thin and today 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. However, I feel as if she is telling me to gain weight and I look ugly -- is this in my mind and am I overreacting. HELP

Refusing Christmas money
Posted Monday March 12 2007, 9:22 pm
My mother gave both my partner and myself a $100 check for Christmas, as she did for her kids, inlaws and grandchildren.
Being the third and last child and being gay I have always felt forgotten, and not treated too well.
For example, two years ago for her birthday I called two weeks in advance and asked if I could take her out for dinner. "Stay home and send me a card" was her response. The day before her birthday she called to say my brother had asked her out and asked if I wanted to come.
Last year she wanted the family to help with her party. We all had to wear name tags and my partner's said "friend" where everyone elses said "son in law," "daughter" etc. Both he ...

out of ideas
Posted Monday March 12 2007, 10:51 am
my "UnOfficial" bestfriend (we love eachother and would probably die for eachother, but have a "we-pretend-to-hate-eachother" kinda friendship, like we act like enemies but we're not) is my cousin. And her birthday is in 10 days, I need to buy her the perfect gift to say "I Love You" but it cant be anything cheesy like a picture-album because 1: we dont have any pictures together since we're "enemies" and 2: that would be too much since we're not used to epressing our care for eachother.
What could I buy/make her that would be REALLY heart-warming, but not too much?

my brother
Posted Sunday March 11 2007, 11:47 pm
My brother and I dont have the greatest relationship in the world. I just turned 16, and he will be 12 very soon. the reason we dont get along is that we lose patience with each other, or we just want to annoy one another. I love him very much, i dont know if he loves me, but we do get along from time to time. this is just some background information.
Ok, so my brother is homeschooled, and was homeschooled for three years. he is in sixth grade. I am homeschooled too, for four years, but i am gonna go to school next year for my junior year. (i am in 10th grade right now).i am an extremely social person and all of my friends go to school.
well, everybody know that homeschoolers can turn into these wierd kids, o...

Little sister...
Posted Sunday March 11 2007, 10:03 am
22 female/big sister.
Yesterday my 11 year old sister called me up in tears because mom wouldn’t stay out of ‘her business’. She was hazy on the details, but from what I can gather, there is some bullying going on at school, and knowing my sister, she probably isn’t only a victim is all this.
Normally I can give my sister some really good advice, but this time I was rather stumped, probably because in my opinion an 11 year old doesn’t have their ‘own business’ beyond choosing how to spend their allowance and whose friend they are going to be. Privacy and autonomy are something they are in the process of earning, not something they receive just because they understand the ideas now.

younger sister making dangerous plans
Posted Saturday March 10 2007, 9:34 pm
My sister and her friend (they're 14 years old in middle school) asked me if they could go to a friend's house at 11:00 tonight. I asked them about it, and they said that they would go to a guy's house who's also 14. He lives about a 10 minute walk away from our house. They don't want me to tell our mom.
Basically, I said no. My sister and her friend told me that the guy's parents don't know about it and that they would WALK there. I explained that 2 girls outside at 11pm is very dangerous. So they asked if I could drive them (I'm 16). I said no to that because no parents know about it, and I just don't have a good feeling about it (I don't think they'd have sex, I just think something bad will happen, like get caught).

I want to volunteer
Posted Friday March 9 2007, 11:56 pm
I want to volunteer in Africa for 3 weeks this summer through a program called Cosmic Volunteers. My mom has looked at their site and is still unwilling to let me go. I told her I would raise the money myself and she wouldn't have to pay for any of it. She's worried that I'm going to get raped and she thinks there won't be any supervision. I've told her that they have supervision, it even says so on the site. What can I do to convince her to let me go? I want to volunteer in Kenya more than anything.
Also, are there any good ways to raise money? I've already thought about car washes and bake sales, but are there any other ideas? (And yes, I'm currently looking for a job).
