Telling my parents that I don't want to go to church
Posted Monday September 26 2005, 1:26 pm
Ever since I was little my family has always gone to church. Now that I am a teenager and I have thought long and hard and researched about our faith... I have found that I don't believe in anything that our faith says to believe in. My parents don't know that. However I want to tell them that I don't want to go to church anymore and I have tried once to tell my dad that I think I am old enough to make my own decisions and he just shot back at me "I DON'T THINK YOU ARE"
So my question is how can I tell my parents that I don't want to go to church anymore?

mother doing marijuana
Posted Sunday September 25 2005, 10:12 pm
A few days ago I was at my boyfriend's house. We were in the living room and he turned to me and said "I think I can smell marijuana". (He knows the smell because his sister did it once when she was in highschool) So he concluded that his mother must be doing it since he had found a bag of it in her drawer two years ago. He also added that one of her workers comes over to drink and then spends the night. He believes that the guy who spends the night is her "supplier." The next day when she was gone, he went into her room and looked into the drawer where she had kept it two years ago. Sure enough he found some. We both do not condone drugs and I asked him to talk to her about it. He did not want to do that. So we decided ...

im scared.
my parents are in a fight. THEY FIGHT ALL THE TIME. they cant go at least 3 months without having a huge fight. theyve fought for as long as i remember. i always cry when they fight cause they yell so much, and say such horrible things. but they ALWAYS get over it, and forget it ever happened. but my dad has such a bad temper. he doesnt abuse her or hit her, he just breaks things when hes mad. and today, someone punched him becus there was a party across the street, and some guy decided to be a wisecrack and park right in front of our garage. so my dad asked him to move it, and the guy punched him, and my dad punched back for self defense. and this really scared me. but im so sick of my parents fighting. i dont know what t...

Family Problems
Posted Saturday September 24 2005, 8:14 pm
You all probably deal with the same thing I am about to say. But here is the thing my mom and I get along but most of the time we are arguing about stupid things like chores I do around the house and stuff like that she doesn't like how I do so she complains constatly no matte what I do it's never enough for her. My dad and I sometimes get into arguements to because whenever I am arguing with my mom he always plans it on me even if I didn't start it. Most of the time we don't get along either. They also get into arguements too and try to get us involve if we don't they get mad but if you do they always want us to pick sides and that's why we don't want to get involved. Do you have any advice.

My mother...
Posted Friday September 23 2005, 9:53 pm
Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, but I don't think she feels the same way. See, I'm a 9th grader, and along with school, I also have a part-time job that ends at 6pm. Then when I get home I have to do homework, then my mom makes me take out the garbage, unload the dishwasher, fold laundry, clean my room, and dust. By the time I'm done it time for bed.
My mom doesn't treat me like Cinderella and make me do everything, but its sooo annoying when she's makes me do these things when she's off the whole day and she does NOTHING. How can I let her know I need a lighter load?

Worried.
Posted Thursday September 22 2005, 9:03 pm
My Mom & Dad are having problems. Atleast that's what my Mom said. My Dad is worried about money issues and is mad at my Mom for not having a stable job (she helps the hospice with living assistence and doesn't get solid hours) He's also worried about my Mom's heart procedure coming up. She's getting her heart..."zapped"..I guess you could say..And he won't talk to me anymore. He shows no emotion other than anger. When he goes out he just leaves without saying where he is going. And he totally favors my sister, even though he says he doesn't. For my birthday this summer (august), he didn't get me anything. And my sister's birthday is in March..and he just recently bought her TWO electric guitars...and she doesn't even play!!! ...
