why Mom keeps comparing me with others and insult me?
Posted Wednesday November 26 2014, 7:09 pm

Does secretly getting marriage is a good idea for avoiing conflicts?
Posted Wednesday November 26 2014, 2:28 am
Hello,
I am in a relationship with a girl for about 3 years and we belong to different religions but we are not bothered with it. Although our parents definitely have an issue with it.
So we are planning to getting married in a marriage court. But we won't be disclosing it to our parents and will not marry to any one else. As I am staying in US and our parents are back home. They won't be knowing about our marriage.
Is this a good idea for keeping peace and not disappointing any of our parents? As I can sponsor my to be wife and we can live together. And once our parents asks us to get marry, we do that.
Any suggestions and honest insights are welcomed. God Bless.

Just Need to Talk to Someone

Female/27
I just found out some terrible news. My sister just had a miscarriage. This sucks! There aren't words bad enough to express how much this sucks! I didn't even know she was pregnant and apparently she and her husband were planning on telling everyone Thanksgiving.
I feel sooooooo bad. Since my sister's the first born, I feel like she's always been the golden child while I'm the family f<€# up. My mom's always been closer to me and my maternal grandparents were too, but everyone else (my dad included) just obsesses over my sister and ignores me.
I thought the only way my dad would care as much about my kids as he did about my sister's was if I gave him his first grandchild(ren). My s...

my parents are so controlling!
Posted Saturday November 15 2014, 3:08 pm
To be honest I feel like a prisoner.
My parents sort of force me to do sports, like they just sign me up each year without asking if I'd LIKE to do it. They ask also force me to alter serve, and I don't believe in that stuff anymore, because I'm bisexual and the bible is against that so...........
And I remember my mom forced me to do dance even though I hate dancing I cried that I didn't want to do it but she just yelled that I had to, and the only reason she wanted me to do it was because my friends were all doing it. It got to the point where I'd refuse to go and misbehaved so I got kicked out (I was younger) another thing she forced me to do is band,I decided to try for a year and she wouldn't let me quit when I decided I ...

My friend and boys
Posted Monday November 10 2014, 7:19 pm
I have a friedm and she's really cool and all but when ever we talk it's always about some boy she likes and she irritates me because I'm like oh cool( trying to be supportive and all) and she's always like I don't want him to know , but then she'll be I hope he likes me. So I'm sitting here like tf. She always says that boys are looking at her but, at her boobs, and talking to her and stuff like that. And it's not like it's the same boy it's 3 and she claims that many boys "look" at her. How should I tell her that it's annoying as CRAP! Without making her feel slutty or something?

Am I just being paranoid?
Posted Monday November 10 2014, 2:35 pm
I am a teenage female. I have always had severe anxiety.
For some reason, I feel like my dad keeps some sort of camera in my room. He's never given me any reason to think of him like that nor has he been sexual with me, but I just get so paranoid. I feel like there's cameras everywhere - In my vents, the bathroom.. Is this just my anxiety as always? I always look through my air vent to see if there's a camera, same in the bathroom. I'm currently in therapy for my anxiety, so that's why I wonder if it's just my anxiety.

How to Tell My Sister That I Might Not Be Coming For Thanksgiving
Posted Thursday November 6 2014, 5:26 am
My sister is one of my best friends. I love her and the last thing I'd want to do is hurt her feelings which is why this is hard for me.
She got married, had a house built, and moved into that house all since June of this year. I've been to her new house and it's amazing. She and her husband are SOOOOOO excited about having the whole family down for thanksgiving and up until recently, I was excited about going. However, now I've hit a problem.
Long story short, I think my mom and granddad might stay home for thanksgiving and if they do, I think I'm gonna need to stay with them so it's not just the two of them for thanksgiving. My sister will still have her husband, dad, grandmother, and all of her in laws, so I...

How to make Thanksgiving work
Posted Friday October 31 2014, 7:23 pm
Hi, I'm 19 f.
I've been away from the US for 10 years. All my relatives are in the USA so now that I'm back to go to college here, I suddenly have a family to see during vacations. Last year, we had Thanksgiving with my aunt's family.
My problem is that I'm generally shy and I don't know how to have fun. I have three cousins who are aged 8, 14 and 16. Last Thanksgiving it was really awkward- I know I'm meant to be older so be in charge but I just don't know how to have fun with my cousins or kids/teenagers in general. We ended up playing monopoly with the adults and then eating.
How should I behave during family Thanksgivings and what activities can I do with my cousins that would be fun?

Grandpa Dying
Posted Thursday October 23 2014, 11:55 pm
My Grandpa and I have never had a relationship. I don't dislike him or anything but we've just never bonded or had anything to talk about. Recently I found out he has stage 4 lung cancer. My mother has been guilt tripping me about how I haven't called him (he lives in Georgia and I am in California). I do not want to make him feel weird or awkward or anything because we have never spoke on the phone. We haven't spoke in years actually. Am I wrong for not calling? I feel it is a bit of a selfish act but at the same time don't want him to realize I am calling just because he is dying. This sounds so awful. Words of advice please.
