Hello, first I would like to say that I am a 16/m and I started smoking weed every weekend and some weekdays since August. I went off to go hotbox my friends truck tonight and we did, and we had a blast. I was out from about 4-9, and we didn't smoke til about 6. Anyways, when I came home about 30 mins ago I said hello to my mom and then I started eating. My mom was like "What's wrong with your eyes... oh my gosh.. what have you been doing?" And I said "What!? Nothing! What do you think I've been doing? I stayed up really late last night watching a movie and then I woke up early and then I drank an energy drink so I'm really tired!" well then my mom was like "then go look in the bathroom mirror." and Oh my God. ...

Split Family with Wedding Coming
Posted Wednesday December 13 2006, 4:31 pm
My sister is getting married in Rome next year, but, because our biological mother is hysterical and refuses to be in the same room with our father, he is not invited to the wedding. (My parents split when we were kids and my sister went with our bio-mom and I stayed with dad. They split for several reasons, including bio-mom’s affair. Not that my father is perfect, but he was never abusive or anything that warrants this type of behavior from her. Like I said, she’s hysterical.)
My sister has a great relationship with and loves our father, but he is not invited to the 'big' wedding (in Italy). Instead, my sister wants to have a small civil ceremony with my father (in the US). She asked me to be her maid of honor at her b...

Teen Victim of Domestic Violence
Posted Wednesday December 13 2006, 9:59 am
I am a teen victim of domestic violence. I am 15 years old and I live in the state of Florida, Volusia County. I really dont have the authority to do much. I dont have a job and my mother is taking her boyfriend (the abuser)s side over me. In my situation I was completely respectful until the abuser got up into my face and physically placed his hands on me. I then yelled and left the house. I tried to go back and talk to my mom about getting an injunction on him but she wont because she wants to be with him and says 'he' is in control because 'he' has "the money", supposedly my mom cannot live on her own without him. I am placed in the middle of this because I am her responsibility and I need help. I want to get him out of the hou...

Christmas Gift Ideas For My Grandma
Posted Tuesday December 12 2006, 7:26 pm
I am not sure what to get for my Grandma this Christmas. She pretty much already has what she wanted (from what my relatives bought her) including a handbag and some clothes. However, I am thinking about giving her clothes or jewelry, but I can't find anywhere that fits her style! She likes the old-fashioned stuff, that probably most other grandmas get into as well. I am looking for links to stores that give reasonable prices ($10-$40)and they are in the Greater Cincinnati area in Ohio. I'll accept stores, links, and online stores, yet I already tried looking at Dillard's, Macy's, Fashion Bug, and JcPenney, unless you wouldn't mind looking it over again.
I know I am not specific so I will accept general suggestions. Thanks!

I Miss my mom :(
Posted Tuesday December 12 2006, 4:56 pm
Hey I'm Amanda. I'm 13 and Children and Youth just took me and my 2 year old brother from my home because of my mom's drug use of a pill Oxycotin. It is an addictive drug and the Doctors keep giving it to her so it's really not her fault because she thinks it's okay. I am staying at my dad's and his girlfriend and their all lovey dovey all the time and I'm really not used to it because my mom doesn't have a boyfriend. I can only have supervised phone calls and supervised visits. I miss her so much and I'm not even allowed to go to my friends house because my mom can "possibly" go there even though she doesn't even leave her house.I'm really mad at Children and Youth and I wanna tell them how I feel but I'm just a number to them.

Reaching the Unreachable
Posted Tuesday December 12 2006, 10:32 am
A few years ago my mother passed away. In her things left behind I found a letter. This letter stated that the man I knew as my father wasn't my father. After researching, I found that the man named in the letter as my father, has been deceased almost 20 years. The letter indicated a brother, The man did indeed leave behind a son when he passed. Leaving me with a whole new set of problems. The brother is famous.
I tried to absorb this imformation, I put the letter away. Thinking to myself, sure try to contact the man and have the whole world think you're crazy. As time went on it became a nagging thought in the back of my mind. I would see a film he was in and wonder, could he really be?
I reread the letter a thousand times. I...

Attention All Mothers
Posted Monday December 11 2006, 3:08 pm
For Christmas I would like to give my mother a very special gift. I have no idea what she would like! I'm 14/f if that helps, and she is 100% Polish and is 43, if that helps too. She's a mother of three also. Please don't tell me to ask her what she likes, every gift I have purchased her in the past (jewlery, candles, etc.) she has not liked. I also don't want to bake her anything such as a cake, or make her a poem, because these have been my past gifts. If you are a mother, could you please tell me what you would like as a gift from your 14 year old daughter?? and even if you are not a mother, please help. If you say to make her something from the heart, then please tell me what it is and the crafts I need. It would also help if you were VERY specific.
thanks in advance

Rebecca was with her mom and her mom said; Rebecca you are very thin, I am concerned,
I dont want you to lose weight;. Rebecca then asked her mom; Why do you think I should
gain weight?; And her mother said; No I dont think you should gain I just think you
should not lose;. The next day Rebecca told her friends the story and asked her friends is
my mom saying I am to thin; and her friends said; No she is not. All she is saying is that
you are very thin and she does not want you to lose any weight and she EVEN TOLD
YOU SHE DOES NOT THINK YOU HAVE TO GAIN WEIGHT....
