I feel like I am seperated from my family by a million universes. We seem so distant. I can barely hold a conversation, and I can definately not sit in the room with them without feeling awkward. I am like the reject of the family while everyone else is together in a happy wonderland. Is there anything that I can personaly do to get closer to my family?

National American Miss
Posted Sunday May 22 2005, 4:01 pm
I really want to enter the NA Miss Competition in my state, but my parents are big anti-modeling and anti-cheerleading because they think it's a brainless thing that only focuses on the outside. They don't really know that this competition takes grace, poise, and intelligence to win, and it's not even focused on beauty. I really want to let them know, but they have EXTREMELY closed minds about things like that. If I mention the word "model" in front of my mother, she flips out and gives me her anti-modeling speech. My parents are from a rigid family that believes in moral values and modesty, and there is only that in this competition. How can I show them that I want to be in this competition and open their minds to it?

Posted Sunday May 22 2005, 12:38 pm
I snuck out last night and went to see my boyfriend. His parents found out I snuck out, and they're telling MY parents. How do I get outta this? I can't tell my parents the truth before they call, because what if they don't even call? I already talked to his mom, and shes not happy with me, and shes not willin to give me another chance. What do I do?
Thanks!! A BUNCH!

Not a Kid
Posted Saturday May 21 2005, 9:38 am
Whenever my parents go out to "buy" me clothes, that's when the problem starts. They always buy me things like plaid skinny leg pants or big, oversized T-shirts, and that just isn't my style- I prefer jeans and a nice, form-fitting tee. Is there a way to tell then that I don't wear things that I used to wear as a little girl without hurting their feelings?

She was only thirteen
Posted Thursday May 19 2005, 5:33 am
After reading this, I know that I will get a few comments telling me that my younger sisters' life is like Tracey's life in the movie Thirteen.
I want to give background by saying that I am now 14, and my sister is 13. When I was 12, I was really in love with guys, and I had a boyfriend and stuck with him, but I did only hang out with about 2 or 3 guys, but I was young, when there was no kissing, or raging hormones. I had my first peck on the lips with my boyfriend, but went no further because I was way too young.
When I reached 13, and my sister was 12, I noticed that her behavior with boys was much different than mine. She had got a boyfriend that had gotten high all the time and was...

He's so mean
Posted Wednesday May 18 2005, 9:32 pm
There's this guy named Chris and he is sooo mean to me. He always says things about me that really hurt my feelings. He never says he's kidding..he's actually being serious. Today, he said something so awful I just wanted to kick him in the pants so he could fall..but that'd be mean..so what remarks can I say to get payback? Or what can I do? Everyone likes him so I can't convince other people to leave him.

Overbearing Parents
Posted Tuesday May 17 2005, 11:40 am
I recently started dating a guy with a very very close family. I am 22, he is 24, and still living with his parents while he saves up to buy a house. The problem is that I'm starting to see signs of his parents making too many decisions for his life.
First of all, he is christian, and quite religious. Me and him have made the decision to wait to have sex, at least for now. I think this is a personal decision that is between me and him.
He stays at my house sometimes, and has already slept in the same bed at me while staying at my mothers house, at my house, and at my sisters house. There is not a problem with this because we are both adults, and are very capable of making out own decisions.
But, recentl...

My brother died a week ago and at first I didn't do anything it was like I couldn't think or function at all. Then I just cried for like a day. Now it's like he's all I can think about. I lived with him. My parents died when I was really little and my brother basically raised me. I've always cut but not as bad as I have been lately. It's like I can't stop everday when I get home from school I cut all day in school I think about my brother and it makes me want to cut.
