im a 14/f and i want to get my belly button pierced. I kno it will hurt alot but i can deal. whenever i try to ask my parents to let me get it though they say no because it will hurt, or because its mutilating my body. I dont understand why they say that though because its not like its their body, they always have the stupidest excuses. so how can i convince them to say yes?

My wife and I decided when we got married that we wanted to have a child. I'm having second thoughts, though, because of my parents. They got divorced when I was 2 years old and my father could only see me 4 times a year, for about a week long each season and 5 weeks in the summer.
I'm afraid of having a child because I'm afraid that if I get divorced, I won't get custody. My wife and I are very much in love, but so were my parents before they ended their marriage. I know that once I am a father, I'll love my kid more than anything, and the thought of possibly not being able to see him/her very often worries me.
Has anyone felt the way I do, or have anything to suggest? Thank you.

Statement
Posted Tuesday February 6 2007, 10:25 pm
STORY: My friend Tricia has direct deposit for her paycheck into her bank account. Every month she gets a statement (that tells her what she has taken out as cash, what checks she wrote and the deposits) which is mailed to her home every month. Instead of taking out money for the week she takes out $20 to $25 a day. Yesterday when the statement came Tricias mother helped Tricia reconcile her bank statement and saw that Tricia wasnt taking out for the week but taking out $20 $25 every day. Her mother said; Tricia you have to budget. You really should take out for the week. You are spending more than you make; They argued about it a little bit. Later on Tricia said; mom are you telling me not to buy the jewelry I buy; Her mother replie...

crazy mother :(
Posted Tuesday February 6 2007, 8:27 pm
my mom is irrational and manipulative. if i even begin to make a point during one of our disagreements, she turns it around on me and starts crying. the littlest things get her upset. she can't even react normally. she mopes around all day and when i ask her why she's mad, she says "oh, i'm not mad, sweetie." and then cries or something equally retarded. how do i even go about dealing with her?

disagreements
Posted Tuesday February 6 2007, 8:23 pm
im so mad.. my parents wont let me go to sleepovers or even have my own sleepovers because they dont want me to get hurt, or get some other kids hurt and get sued or something. it sucks because like everyone else gets to have them and that sort of thing doesnt happen often. i know well.. it DOES happen but I'd rather take that chance and enjoy all the fun. my parents grew up in africa, where they only had sleepovers after traveling far from their homes. so my mom (mostly her) thinks that we cant really have them either with our friends, and we should sleep in our own beds. ugh. the same with going to the beach. alot of my friends get to go with their friends to the beach, new york city, etc but my parents like.. probably wouldnt let me brin...

Always compared to my older brother..
Posted Monday February 5 2007, 7:20 pm
Well, I'm 15/f and my older brother is 23/m. My mom has always sided with him and she is completely rude to me. She always compares me to him, and I'm sick of it. She complains that I don't do anything to help her out around the house when I always clean my room on "cleaning weekends", I vacuum when she asks me, and I do the dishes when she asks. Yet, I still hear all the time how my brother, when he was 15 had a job and all this other stuff. Well, I would truly love to get a job, but nothing around here hires 15 year olds, so I'm kind of stuck. I really am fed up with her always comparing me to him, saying I'm a bad daughter and all I care about is myself and my boyfriend (which is not true at all). Yet, she has no idea what my b...

Was I just completely ignored?
Posted Monday February 5 2007, 8:57 am
i called my aunt on new years day. she called back later on her patient's house phone and told me she'd call me later when her minutes were free. i saw time going so before i went to sleep i called her but her cell phone rang twice and the voicemail came on. i called back later in the night and this time it just rang until the voicemail came on. the next two days the same thing kept happening. it was strange to me that she wouldn't return none of my calls because that's not like her. after the third day i gave up. a few weeks later i answered my house phone and it was my aunt. i purposely kept quiet because i was waiting for her to mention me calling her but instead she said hi like normal then asked me what was wrong with my phone(i didn't...

Mother screaming
Posted Sunday February 4 2007, 6:02 pm
I know this sounds kind of bratty, but please bear with me. I REALLY hate for my name to be yelled. It makes me mad. My parents know how much I hate to be spoken to loudly. I've asked AND told them to not yell for/to me when they tell me/need something.
A few days ago, I was taking a nap and my mom SCREAMED my name to tell me dinner was done. I said "okay" and laid in my bed for about five more minutes. After I got out of bed (I was still in my room getting clothes on so I could go eat downstairs), she then yells, "DID YOU HEAR ME? ARE YOU GOING TO EAT?". I then yelled at her, "YES I AM! JESUS!".
Today, she yelled "NATALIE, WE NEED THE PHONE!". I didn't get up and give he...

hate my mom and family.
Posted Sunday February 4 2007, 4:38 pm
I am really hating my mom again. Everytime I do something in front of her she responds to me when she tells me something. Gosh I don't know what she wants from me because I talked to hotlines about this and all they told me was find a job move out talk to her. I cried it's hard i thought the hotline will really help me but it didn't. she tries to imitate the sound I have when I talk in my head when she tells me something. I am not a daughter in her eyes anymore she is brainwashed completely. I was around her reading this thing label then she got an idea from that. Like she observed and knew the thoughts on my brain. I don't think people should be doing that. SHe is so cruel to me and everybody else in that family. I dismembered my self fro...

Fighting ?
Posted Sunday February 4 2007, 10:19 am
Me and my sister are both teenage girls, 15 and 16. We butt heads on a daily basis. We fight at least twice a day, and by fight I mean physically and definitely emotionally. We've physcially fought so badly that we leave bruises, marks and scratches on each other. Emotionally is the worst though. She has no idea that everything she says to me/calls me hurts me so badly. As my older sister everyone expects us to fight, but this type of fighting is over the line. We fight twice a day, at least!
We're past the point of working it out, our parents have tried everything. And honestly I'm sick of crying everyday.
Our fighting is literally making my parents life hell and tearing their marriage apart. Not only that but it's making my...
