Guilty as Charged
Posted Tuesday May 3 2005, 6:36 pm
I went to a sleepover recently and got around three hours of sleep. The next day, my parents took me to a concert that they really wanted to go to, and it was terribly tiring for me, but I held through it. Suddenly, my mother decides to tell me that we are going to a dinner party, and I almost started crying because I was just so tired and I didn't want the guests to see me that way. Of course, I was stupid and decided to be moody and upset, and my mom gave me a lecture afterwards and told me that a lot of people at the party knew I was acting up, and the older girl at the party was being so sweet and nice even though she was probably tired too. I feel really guilty, even though I apologized to my mom, because these other people who saw me ...

Guitar Loving
Posted Monday May 2 2005, 5:25 pm
Ever since I was in first grade my mother made me take piano, which I hated so I dropped it in the 5th grade. Since the third grade, I have taken viola, and I am so-so about it, (I'm in seventh grade) because I have played it for so long I don't want to let it go. My mother wants me to quit strings and take chorus next year, because she thinks I have potential there, but I don't want to do that because I feel like I let too many things I could have been good at go. I recently gave my mother a deal- let me start guitar lessons, and then I will totally drop strings and take chorus next year. My mother refused, and I think she did that because she thinks I can't be committed to anything, even though I love guitar to death and I would truly lo...

Mom and drugs
Posted Monday May 2 2005, 3:00 pm
My dad died a month ago and ever since then my mom's been really happy. They used to fight all the time and they were going to get divorced because of it. But ever since he died she's been soo happy and she's been going out with all of these different guys most of which hit me or her. If I ever even mention my dad or I cry about it she starts screaming at me and telling me that I'm a pathetic baby. I loved my dad he was soo good to my mom he tried so hard to make it work between the two of them for me and my older sister (she moved out before he died). I hate my mom she's put us through so much and I just can't stand her. So recently I've been staying with some of my friends a lot and I tried LSD. It was really great and it helped me a lot ...

sorry is this is long but I really need help so please don't skip over it
Ok my parents have been divorced my whole life I don't even know who my dad is. Well my mom has serious problems with finding guys. They usually beat her or cheat on her. I've had about a dozen stepfathers and all of them treat her like shit and she doesn't deserve that. Well my newest stepfather Richie has been with my mother for 2 years now and she is really happy with him. I've never seen my mom this happy before. He is soo nice to her. But the thing is he has a son (my stepbrother) who is constantly hitting me and raping me. I tried talking to my mom about it and she said that she would talk to my stepdad and my stepbrother. She did and then it stopped for ...

Sister throws away MY report card
Posted Sunday May 1 2005, 2:56 pm
I have seen my report card since 8th grade (I'm now in 11th). Ever since my sister started high school (she's a year older than me) she started throwing away both of our report cards because she doesn't want my parents to see them. My parents did notice at first and called the schools and everything and they schools told them that they don't know what's going on because they've been sending them. So, my parents kind of forgot about it. I didn't really care about it but now I do! I have no idea how I'm doing in school. I think I'm failing half my classes but I don't actually know. I have no idea what my GPA is either (we get it in about 3 weeks but I don't know what to expect). It's completely unfair that I don't get so see my report card be...

breaking us apart
Posted Saturday April 30 2005, 10:23 pm
Ever since my grandpa died, my family started spliting apart. It's full of hate. One of my uncles is very mean and grumpy towards everyone else now because of his job. He especially takes it out on me. When he critisizes me, I have to keep quiet and agree because if I don't he will yell louder and call me disrespectful. I really do not like him telling me how to live my life and yelling at me for the littlest reasons. I can't talk to him because he is very stubborn. I can't avoid him because he lives next door to me. Someone please help..he's making me feel bad and breaking our whole family apart because of his opinions.

My brother died 2 weeks ago and I really don't know what to do. I lived with him because my mom died 3 years ago and my dad used to beat and rape me. He was more like a father than a brother to me and I really don't know what to do. I've been staying with my friend until I get a foster family and she is always asking me if I'm ok and I'm really not. I don't know what to do with myself. I even tried drugs and I've been drinking a lot. I just want to kill myself and I'm so scared of what's going to happen next. I love him soo much and he was pretty much all that I had and now he's gone. I haven't even cried because I just can't, does that mean that there's something wrong with me? Why can't I just cry like normal people do when something happ...

Neglectant Father
Posted Saturday April 30 2005, 1:53 pm
My dad is a jerk..we'll just start off by saying that. He and my mother divorced 5 or 6 years ago. I have two younger sisters and a younger brother. Me and one of my sisters stopped switching back and forth between my mom and dad and decided just to live with my mom, because we both STRONGLY dislike our father. My mom is a single mom, works her butt off everyday, and has to pay for EVERYTHING for anything that all four of us kids need. My dad refuses to talk to her because he thinks that my mom is just out to get money from him..but the way i see it is, why wouldn't he want to help pay for his children? Yeah, he pays child support, but he lied about his income to the judge, so we don't even know how much he is SUPPOSED to be paying. It wou...

My parents aren't divorced but they both cheat on each other they basically both get with anything that moves of the opposite sex. My dad is always drunk and is very abusive. My mom isn't physically abusive but she just tells me that I'm a waste of life and that she wishes she never had me and that I'm such a huge mistake and bla, bla, bla but her boyfriend Tom hits me all the time and even rapes me sometimes.

uncle's depression
Posted Friday April 29 2005, 4:25 pm
My uncle (and cousins) are feeling great depression. A few months ago my aunt died. Since then many things have been going downhill from there. He forgets to pick up my cousins from various acivities and hasn't been feeding them for the past few days. My older cousins (from my aunt's first marrige) have taken taken the the ones closer to my age to their apartment for a few days (I am not sure if they are back home yet). My dad went down there for the weekend to help things out but I'm not sure how much of a difference this will make. This is because I found out today my uncle has lost his job. This means it is even harder for him to surrport his kids. We were inviting the children to spend the summer up here (we still are) but now we are wo...

forget it or tell her?
Posted Friday April 29 2005, 12:35 pm
My mom gave me a pair of earrings a while ago. I wore them all the time and I loved them. The problem is, I lost one of them somewhere in school. It was a total accident and it must have came off while I was running/playing sports. I have still have one of them, but I don't know whether to tell my mom. I have alot of other earrings and the lost earring is probably already stolen. Should I just let it go or fess up to my mom? If they were expensive, I would be in deep trouble. Also, my mom would think I was very irresponsible and wouldn't trust me with anything anymore.

Music and Mothers
Posted Thursday April 28 2005, 9:31 pm
My mom grew up in a family of singers, and currently I am also learning how to sing. This isn't the fun, free western pop music, but rigid Eastern music with a lot of rules and tone and pitch regulations. My mother is so attached to this Eastern music that if she's blaring this music in the car and I'm trying to do homework, if I ask her to turn it down she completely blows up at me. I don't really like this kind of music, but my mother has already told me that I cannot quit. The part I really don't like is when my mother starts to help me practice at my house with all the drills and stuff we do in class. She gets ticked off because I "sing the music mechanically- you need to put more life into it." I am in chorus at school and I ...
