my mom hates that i'm bi
Posted Monday June 26 2006, 5:46 pm
i dont know what to say to my mother when she calls me a stupid lesbian, a worthless faggot, and other demeaning things. it doesnt hurt me like it used to (everyone knows my mom's a bitch, and that she's the epitome of insanity) but it makes me pretty mad. i really dont know what a can say back to her to get her to shut up and back off. bitch doesnt phaze her b/c people call her that everyday. i know i sound like i'm putting her down, but that's what she's always done to me since i was about 5 (i'm 16 now). anyway, i'd appreciate some suggestions on what i could do or say to make the situation better. i really cant take it anymore.
and please dont leave me an immature comment saying 'oh well why don't you just quit being bi' or somthing like that. it's just not that simple.

15 and pregnant
Posted Sunday June 25 2006, 9:08 pm
I went to the doctors about two weeks ago and found out that i am for sure pregnant. My boyfriend i am currently with is the father. My parents and his parents know. Also our siblings know. My mother has been telling me what to name my child. The middle name my child has to have if its the girl. My mother is telling me the child has to have my last name. My house is very stressful and im scared to stay here because i dont want to cause a miscarrage. Im not sure what to do. My aunt had a cat and while she was pregnant the doctor told her that was the cause of her dizziness and vomating. I have 7 cats. i am wondering if thats the cause i cant get rid of them because of me. I want to find away to move out of my home, before i am 18. Any ideas on all of this. It is driving me crazy.

my mom, and and the hairstyle i want.
Posted Sunday June 25 2006, 1:46 am
Ok, so, i gave my mom the description of a certain way i wanted my hair to look, and she didnt care for the idea?
here is the discription i found: "EMO hair for boys: Hair - Rarely washed, if ever. Dyed black if not black naturally. Is normally cut very short with bangs cut straight across the front. If you prefer longer hair grow it to the length of about your eyes and never comb it."
How can I get my mom to allow me to style it that way?
Also, any crud I get about the hairstyle i want will get 1's

Black sheep?
Posted Saturday June 24 2006, 3:04 am
I have a twin sister, and we are 2 minutes apart at birth, me being the eldest. My mom has always stressed to us that favoritism is highly inappropriate and rejected in a parent-child relationship, her being a victim of favoritism herself. But currently, I feel that secretly, my mom favors my sister more, and a lot of times I feel invisible to her. She rarely has time to listen and value my opinion on things, and this has caused us to grow apart.... What can I do to make my mom see and understand how I feel?
Thank you. =)

I got a C- in algebra (a honors course) and my mom told me i was a screw-up. She said that I was basically a failure in life. She out me in this class (I wasn't supposed to be in honors) and I didn't quite understand the concepts... it took me a long time to understand. My mom is extremly mad and I don't know what to do but it's making me very upset.

Parents

My parents are always bugging me about coming home at unreasonable times, and my mom assumes that I am into drugs, smoking, and drinking alcohol. I dont know how to gain their trust, so that they will respect me more. I always seem to blurt out words to them, and they yell at me all the time. I dont know how to handle this situation, because they are destroying my social life.

Friend's daughter
Posted Thursday June 22 2006, 6:54 pm
I have a friend (we actually went on a few dates but nothing more) that has a little girl (he's 18 and she's 3). He takes no responsibility for her and doesn't live with her. She lives with his mom. Our families actually know each other as well.
Today I had a dentist appt. and I saw his mom there. She was with her other son and this little girl that I never met. I figured she just had another kid since I didn't see her for so long.
So later on when I was home, I told my mom that I ran into her and asked when she had the little girl. My mom told me that it wasn't hers; it was my friend's daughter. I was so incredibly surprised because that thought never entered my mind. And the little girl is so ...
