Lying to parents
Posted Monday February 13 2006, 4:44 pm
I always lie to my parents so I don't get in trouble. They're awfully hard on me sometimes, but after I tell the lie I realize it probably would've been easier to just tell them the truth, admit what I did in the first place was wrong, and then take my punishment. What can I do to stop lying, and is there anything that my parents can do on their part so that I don't feel the need to lie - or am I just a weak teenager because I used to be such a good kid and never get in trouble?

My mom thinks shes too old
Posted Monday February 13 2006, 9:32 am
Whenever i go shopping with my mom we always stumble across these REALLY cute jeans that I want her to try on. When she eventually does, she automatically says NO because they are too "trendy". My mom usually wear straight leg jeans which if you didn't know have absolutely no flare. My mom has a really big butt, so she looks ridiculous!! I told her nicely that these kinds of pants don't compliment her, but she just got mad at me. She's 41 and she thinks shes too old to look good in jeans. Can you give me some tips to convince my mom that she doesn't have to be young to look great?! Shes SOOO stubborn and sensitivE!!!!!

lack of response
Posted Wednesday February 8 2006, 3:02 pm
My brothers have the habit of not replying my emails/SMS text messages when i make some requests from them ( for example when am broke and beed cash for travels or the pursuit of some job), even when i emphasis the urgency. i am a student ands not employed, while my brothers are working and they know i have no other means of livelihood. At times i get the urge to just ignore them, and at times i feel maybe i shoudn't but just keep asking them whats up, although i have my own pride to protect most of the time. I need some advice. Thanks to you all.

My Mom Is Having A Breakdown
Posted Tuesday February 7 2006, 3:52 pm
Okay, yesterday I found out that if I don't get a siciatrist (sp?) to see me by next week, then I will have to live with somebody else. I mean that is totally impossible for me and I know that my mom wont let that happen. I have anxiety and if I have to leave her then I will just die! But I know she wont let that happen to me, so I'm not very worried. But my mom is having a nervous breakdown! She is just lying in her bed crying and she says that she is sick and she is like freezing, she has like 3 covers over her and she is still shivering.
I am just really upset for her, so does anyone have any ideas on something I can do to help her? Maybe make her feel better?
Thank you so much!

Posted Monday February 6 2006, 11:44 pm
I don't know whats wrong with me, i get mad so quickly but only when im with family or the people im more comfortable with, it seems like my mom and dad are never happy with anything that i accomplish, i just want my dad to pay more attention to me, but he's always siding with his girlfriend on everything and it makes me feel like shes more important, i get mad sometimes and slam my hands down on somethin and have even broke a few things (not of great value) i just wanna know what i can do besides count to 10 cause i just get even more mad by the end of that.

My mom won't let me wear thongs.
Posted Monday February 6 2006, 9:58 am
I am 14 and my mom won't let me wear thongs. My sister is 16 and still is not allowed to wear them. Alot of my firends wear them and some don't. Sure part of the reason I want them is because alot of people wear them but that not the whole reason. I don't want panty lines when I wear sweats of whatever. My mom has always been overprotected, she didn't let me or my sister wear a bikni until last summer. Last weekend I tried on a really cute bathing suit and all she did was say how it was to low and I need to wear something more modest or I will be sending the wronge message. She thinks if I wear a low bikni someone will come and rape me, to make a long story short she is inpossible to shop with. Anyway If I could get a thong it would make me...

I really need ya'll help with something...please-family base
Posted Sunday February 5 2006, 5:57 pm
MY grandma's in a nursing home...more like a home for people who are aged or sick and don't have any one to help see them and stuff. Today wen I went to see her she was crying a bit and I'm really worried. She got a stroke and it's really difficult to understand if she really likes it or not because wen we ask if she's comfy she always says yes and we can't go ask the nurses cause of course they will say yes or something. Also as I said before I think my uncle just wants her to get out of the house so he can do what he wants since the money is on his name! I don't want him spend out the money and make us poor and I don't want my grandma to die or be unhappy. I've told my aunt away and she said she'll come soon and so I'm waitin until she co...

sibling rivalry
Posted Sunday February 5 2006, 4:16 pm
It really sucks how much my parents love my sister more. They buy her everything, they do everything for her and give her credit for...everything. If we both get 4.0's, my parents will look at me and say...you should work harder, but they can look at my sister and say "Good Job!" My sister has so many clothes that she doesn't never even worn half of what she owns, while I sometimes have to wear the same shirt or pants twice/three times a week. Today, my mom, dad, and sister said they were "Just going out" and would be home soon....3 hourd later I call and where are they? They're at the mall, buying clothes for her and getting her new furniture in her room while I'm doing nothing and being bored. I've tried talking to the...

What should I do about my mum?
Posted Saturday February 4 2006, 8:24 pm
Well.. my mum and I had an argument yesterday. What happened is I have a radio show and on air the girl I do it with asked me if my school has uniforms and how long I've been there. I saw nothing wrong with that, but my mum said it was personal and at the end came and shouted at the girl for asking me personal things on air. I was really embarassed and apologized to my friend for what my mum did. This is the second time this has happened. another time I had a friend in the car and my mum started yelling at me in front of her. She told me she'd never embarass me like that again, but then she did it yesterday. So I told her I was ashamed of her. I didn't really mean it as I was mad, but she hasn't spoken to me since and she was crying this mo...
