Cousins..
Posted Monday August 7 2006, 8:12 pm
This might soung wrong, but I have a crush on my cousin. He's 14 and I'm 13. We used to be so close, and when we were younger, we always hugged each other and we even kissed once when we said goodbye. Until today, I've been feeling like he and I were drifting apart. But then today, he and I played video games, and he asked me questions, was super nice to me, and sometimes he'd get a little shy and talk relaly quietly or get nervous and start fidjeting. He didn't look at me much, but when he did, he had this awkward look in his eye. I know we're cousins, and I can't really date him, but I want to know if he seems interested or not. He's going back to singapore (in asia) where he lives, in a week, and I desperately need advice on what to do.

Family Hurting a Child
Posted Monday August 7 2006, 6:58 pm
My 50-something year-old boyfriend lives in a household with his 80+-year old mother and a brother, also in his 50's. Last year his 50+ year old sister moved in with her daughter (his niece) and the daughter's 3 year-old son. (The niece has four other children who reside elsewhere.)
Recently, the niece moved out to live with a man but did not take the child. Now the family is in an uproar, claiming they don't want to take care of the 3 year old left behind by his mom.
I don't plan to get personally involved because these are dysfunctional, toxic people with bad attitudes. He keeps asking me for advice on what to do with the child, and he's angry that the niece (who obviously has problems) has left them with...

expressing feelings (this is very long, prepare yourself)
Posted Sunday August 6 2006, 11:19 pm
13/female. I always figured people could tell if I was happy, mad, sad, confused, or any other emotion because it just seemed obvious to me. If I'm mad my mouth forms a straight line, my eyebrowns go together, and you can just see in my eyes I'm mad. But lately I don't think my emotions are that clear. I guess my first hint was yesterday when my mom started yelling at me that I never tell her how I feel. It's just that it seems stupid saying I feel this way, I feel that way. It's always been this way with me. I just storm to my room and slam the door without a word, giving the world a cold shoulder. See my whole life has been hard. When I was practicly born my dad divorced my mom. Then my mom fell in love, but never married him, and he died...

I am greedy because of a second grade issue?
Posted Saturday August 5 2006, 3:03 am
14/f. This I guess could either go under families or friends. Sorry this is sort of long. This whole thing started in like, second grade when my friends would snatch my snack and food and stuff right out of my hands. I was too nice and it really made me sad, but I just didn't say anything. I was always being joked around with. My friends would call me fat just as a joke(even though I wasn't, I was JUST as 'fat' as they were). All of this bothered me and I didn't really show it until last school year. To prevent anyone from taking my stuff, I would scratch them or slap them when they perpously try to steel my food. I didn't TRY to scratch them and stuff, it was sort of just an automatic reaction. For example, the other day at the mo...

hereditary?
Posted Saturday August 5 2006, 1:47 am
hey people :)
So both my mom and my sister have very big boobs, like Ds and my family is very skinny. My sister and I weigh 97 pounds. I am a 15 and my sister is 22. But the problem is my boobs are only As. I was talking to my sister and she said that she was the same way until senior year and then it just happened. So my question is, is it very likely that my boobs will be Cs or Ds by senior year because all the women in my family has had this happen to them?
thanks :)

brother is gay?!
Posted Friday August 4 2006, 1:03 pm
My 11 year old brother confided in me that he likes to look at naked men. ohhh boy--that is just something that I'd rather not know! but he feels comfortable talking to me about it (i don't though..lol) he will not tell my parents. he is DEEPLY religious. and he knows the catholics frown upon gays. but yeah, he tells me that he likes flipping through magazines and ENJOYS looking at naked men...this creeps me out a little. he was freaking out last night asking me what i thought--and i told him that he's not gay (idk if he is though..but i just said that to make him feel better or else he would have a SPAZ if i told him i thought he was. like i said, he is DEEPLY religious.) --and i also told him that maybe he was just curious..idkkk he does...

Football
Posted Wednesday August 2 2006, 11:03 pm
I have an 8 year old son who will be going into 3rd grade.
He played little league baseball this year and loved it.
He had his first football practice yesterday and he wasn't as thrilled about it. Today when it was time for practice he said he didn't want to go. Then when we got there, 1 hour into it he came off the field complaining that he felt like he was gonna throw up. I was concerned about the heat, it's really unusually hot here in upstate NY. But he looked ok, face color normal and he wasn't showing signs of heat exhaustion so I gave him a drink and made him go back out. Not even 5 minutes passed and he was complaining again. This time he refused to go back out and started crying.

My mom said that if I live with her while I'm in college, I'm going to have to pay her $300 a month on rent. When my mom told me that, I was shocked. Come on, I can pay less than that to share an apartment with one of my friends. Who could do that to their child right out of high school? She lived with my grandparents free of charge while she went to college. They even bought her a car. She isn't doing this because we're poor, because we aren't.
Anywho, is my mom acting like every other mom or is she just being really selfish? She KNOWS that the job I have doesn't pay much.
