I"m a Disgrace
Posted Wednesday January 24 2007, 7:20 pm
I am a 14 year old female and I am the younger sister. I have an older sister and I live with my mother. Me and my sister are total oppisotes down to the tee. My sister is tall, beautiful, SKINNY, smart, etc. I'm none of those. I am pretty smart but I slack off alot. My mom and my sister have this really good relationship but I don't. My mom makes my sister monitor me. Sure I'm a little overwieght but my mom brings it up everywhere infront of everybody. She makes me feel like I'm a disgrace. She compains about how much I eat and what I do because I watch TV. She always compares me to my sister. She talks about how she eats better and what she was like at my age. I feel so wrong. I feel like I don't deserve to be here. They both go out on da...

summer hols

13/f
In the summer holidays me and my family (mum, dad, bruv)are going to Spain. I really want my best mate to come (she wants to come as well).
My mum did mention her coming before but not since. Also, I know she might be able to because 've been to Edinburgh and center parcs with her which is a lot of money, and mum wants to take her somewhere with us. I just don't know about Spain.
But, the question is, what is the right way to ask mum whether my best friend can come?

emotional
Posted Wednesday January 24 2007, 12:12 am
i just hate what's happening to me. I am being emotionally abused by my uncle's girlfriend or something like that and I just don't know how to let go of the thought. I even called hotlines already and all they did nothing to help just gave me bunch of other hotlines that is basically the same. I even think that it's my uncle's girlfriend who is on the phone pretending to be a hotline. How the heck did she got the calls the I made to someone else and interfered? I sort of noticed the voice sounds the same each time I called. MY mom talks to me like she knows this way I reacted in school when she was telling me something. I hate her so much. I tried telling her even cried but the same thing kept happening.

annoyed
Posted Tuesday January 23 2007, 3:43 pm
why the hell does my mom has to be so mean to me. I just don't get it anymore. What is it I am not a daughter in her eyes anymore. I swear she's so unfair. And I bet my bitchy uncle's girlfriend is involved in this again. I swear i hate her she's so fucking insane. making people spy on me when I am all alone by myself or talking to somebody even when I go into the internet. I swae you would hate what she sounds like when she talks to me. Like I am trying to be center of attention and oh I make myself something that I am not. It's humiiliating. I was on the interent then she yelled at me like I didn't hear what she said. I heard her I was just finishing on the internet. What is that I have to be on time at all her commands. I may be a bitch for saying all this but it's frustrating.

prom dresses
Posted Sunday January 21 2007, 10:11 pm
The other day I was at the mall with my friend and we saw this beautiful formal for only 25 dollars, if you can believe it. It was sleeveless and backless, but when the back is laced up it really doesn't show much skin. I have a few standards of dress that I refuse to bend, so I bought a shawl with the dress to cover my shoulders (it's kinda see-through, but it covers up the skin). I showed the dress to my parents and my mom hates it but my dad thinks it's ok (backwards, I know). How can I convince my mom that it doesn't matter what she thinks about the dress because I bought it and I'm the one who's going to be wearing it. btw, I'm 17

Spiteful Dad
Posted Sunday January 21 2007, 9:36 am
My sister has loads of anger problems and for the past six years she has caused a lot of tension in our family. During this time I've always been the 'good one' but recently my Dad has been taking things out on me more and more. I admit that I'm not always as well behaved as I should be, but it's not like I'm worse than any other average teen. Now even when I haven't done anything wrong my Dad will be unreasonable and start shouting and swearing. I always try and be mature and walk away from the situation then come back and talk things through calmly later but 9 times out of 10 he will refuse to admit that he has been wrong and usually he won't even listen to what I have to say.
I know that he's under a lot of stress from wo...

older then my sister
Posted Sunday January 21 2007, 1:39 am
I am over 2 years older then my sister but everybody seems to think she is older than me! It bugs me so much (she has bigger boobs then me, but I am happy with my boob size)but I am not sure what other reasons people think this. I take care of myself really well (I dress nicely, do my makeup nicely, take good care of my hair, etc.) yet for some reason I look younger then my younger sister & I want to look older!! What can I do to make myself appear to be older, like I really am? And please don't say anything about it being good that I look younger, all I want to know is why they think she looks older & WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE MYSELF LOOK OLDER THEN HER! Thank you!

Am I grown, Now?
Posted Saturday January 20 2007, 10:14 pm
I'm in college now and I kind of want to do things my way. (My family doesn't want me to have a car right now although i had one at home.) I just want to buy a car and work in a decent place where i please. when i was at home I was told where I could work, what hours I could work, where i couldn't drive. And, very overportected and dominated. Am I at the point in life now where i can start making my own decisions and not be wrong.

My Parents Treat me different.
Posted Saturday January 20 2007, 9:48 pm
Here's the thing I am 13 gonna be 14 in a month. Me and my brother are 15 months apart. he is 15. My parents let him do whatever he wants. I on the other hand don't get to do anything! I can't go anywhere with anyone anytime. And it has been this way for ever.
My parents insist they have to Know ( meaning have seen and talked to) the parent of my friend(s). On the other hand my brother can leave and only say Im going to my friends house I'll be back maybe tomorrow. My parents know my brother drinks and smokes weed. I on the other hand only smoke cigarettes, and they know this. It doesn't make any sense!
What do you think about the situation.

Mom not caring
Posted Saturday January 20 2007, 8:10 pm
I'm 16 and a junior in high school. I live with my mom and younger brother. I am involved in a lot of my high school's drama productions and am also a member of the dance team. My mom wants me to switch out of drama (she says it's making me miserable, but it's one of the few places I really enjoy myself) and she doesn't like my being on dance team, not because of grades, etc. just because it's her opinion. Anyway, I have had 8 drama performances, and she only went to three. One I was sick, , and then she left without picking me up because she said I was taking too long. My aunt made her come to one, and the third she went to see her friend's son. She refused to come to the only two performances I asked/begged her to (I had a lead role) and ...

Friendship Quotes
Posted Saturday January 20 2007, 3:47 pm
I have to write a paper comparing and
contrasting my best friends. I thought it
would be a great oppurtunity to start with
a friendship quote. My problem is that one
of my best friends is a guy, and the other is
a girl. Most quotes are too girly to work
for both. Does anyone have any sites or
specific quotes that would be appropriate for
school and for my paper? Thanks!
