My Parents Are Keeping Me A Child
Posted Tuesday January 22 2013, 4:21 am
I'm a 14 year old girl and my parents are very over-protective and they practically control my life. (My Mum especially) I don't hate them, I just wish they would let me do what I want to do. I don't want to do drugs or smoke or have sex or anything, I'm a good girl, I just don't want to be singled out by society. I know people say 'be yourself' and 'don't be afraid to be different' but at school I just want to blend in and get through the week.
My friends would all go out to the movies or go shopping but I can never go because that's too grown up for me. I can't decide on anything to decorate my room so it ends up being furnished for a 5 year old. I can't wear 'provocative' or 'suggestive' clothing which means a long sleeve...

how to tell my parents that I've been sexually abused
Posted Monday January 21 2013, 1:20 am
14/f
I've finally accepted that I was sexually assaulted by my uncle (in law) at the end of 2012. Right after it happened, I was sort of in denial and wasn't planning on telling anybody what happened. But I know what happened and it's dawned in on my how hard it is to deal with it. I'll be fine sometimes, and the next second I remember what happened..it's like a nightmare that you don't wake up from. And it makes me feel horrible about myself. I embarrassed and scared how this will turn out. But I know that I need to tell somebody now. I just can't do this on my own anymore.
I recently talked with somebody on the RAINN hotline, and it helped, but mainly they said that I should talk to my parents about what hap...

My mum: I am having trouble dealing with the things she does, and her constantly taking her boyfriend's side over her daughter!
Posted Sunday January 13 2013, 12:05 pm
It is difficult to write this, I'm feeling angry as I do but anyway here goes.
I'm 16 and live with my mum.
My mum is always saying that she has no money and that were moving house as a result of this but she is always buying herself new clothes, shoes and even films. I haven't had a new item of clothing in a while and every time I ask her for some she always says the same thing! "I have no money" its so annoying and gets me do angry. The other day I showed her the state my shoes were in and I had to throw them away because the bottom was hanging off, she just sort of changed the subject. Today she came back with a brand new pair of shoes for herself saying her old ones were ruined, all that was wrong with them was ...

My mother is so unemotional and insensitive
Posted Sunday January 13 2013, 3:46 am
My mom and dad are the ultimate dynamic duo team. Whatever he says goes and she doesn't question him on any level at all whatsoever, even when he's being totally irrational, which he is often. A lot of the time my dad acts like such a baby and I know my mom knows it, yet she goes through the motions of supporting him NO MATTER WHAT. She doesn't have any of her own opinions and wait for him to share his point of view on literally anything before deciding what she thinks. ugh. There is nothing that has made me more upset, angry, or unloved throughout my life. If my mom had to choose her children or her husband, it would without a doubt be him. It makes me feel like a worthless piece of garbage.
My dad and I have had many fight...

How to stop younger daughter from doing criminal activity like her sister
Posted Friday January 11 2013, 3:37 pm
her older sister who is 22 went to jail for one year for fraud related charges. I overheard my younger daughter who is 18 saying that she wants to commit the same crime and try to go to the same prison as her sister because she doesn't want her to be all alone in there. What can I say to her to make her realize she is totally wrong in wanting to do this and she shouldn't follow her sisters footsteps like this? The person I called to talk about visiting said why not bring your younger daughter along for a visit and they can have her older sister and a guard show her around the place and what her daily life his like and hopefully will set her straight. Would that help, or would it just make it worse?

So I posted a question awhile back asking if what my uncle was doing was weird or not normal. Here's a link to the question so I don't have to repeat stuff:
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=606498
Anyways, since then, I've visited them 2 more times for thanksgiving and for new years. My uncle has been bugging me if I have a boyfriend too. He takes me phone and looks at all my contacts and the people I text. Personally, I think he's just trying to bug me, but I don't want to leave anything out.
2 more things happened during those trips besides what I talked about in my previous question. First, I was at a different cousin's birthday party and he stuck some trash in my back pocket...

Musical Confusion: Parents don't want me listening to wizard rock
Posted Friday December 28 2012, 7:19 pm
My mom and I dont get along. For example, i listen to music revolving around Harry Potter (wizard rock) she says Im doing it to purposefully annoy her since she doesn't like it.
I explained that i was not doing it to annoy her and I really did like to listen to it.
She said that if i listened to it in private (headphones, when shes not in the room.
So, today i was dancing to one of them, with my headphones in and when she wasn't there, like she said. I was having a good time. She came down and blew up at me because i was listening to it. I reminded her of what she said and she shouted she never said that. (note: her memory is fine) then she said

How can I tell him we won't name our child after his other kid?
Posted Friday December 28 2012, 6:42 am
Hi this is a quick question.
me and my boyfriend are planning a family, he already has a child with a woman who he never see's because of the mother and whose tried to split us up numerous times. He knows I'm not fond of the thought he has a child (I've never met him and don't want to either that's not the issue.)
The issue is well there's two.
One: I'm worried he'll always compare our child to his, as in I've read lots of comments from parents saying nobody could ever give them the feeling their first born did, the other kids had to earn the affection and that thought tears me apart since it'd be my first child and then the other thing I think is since he rarely gets to see the other kid it would have a...

Should I commit a crime so I can be sent to the same jail as my sister?
Posted Thursday December 27 2012, 12:41 am
my sister who is 22 went to jail for a year for fraud related charges. If I commit the same crime what is the likelihood I will be sent to the same place? I don't want her to be all alone in there. I am 18 year old and female as well. Also, it is a non violent crime and only a year so it doesn't seem too bad

Need a Pep Talk to Quit Being Such a Scrooge
Posted Monday December 24 2012, 12:40 pm
I used to LOVE Christmas, not only because of the presents or festivities, but mainly because I'm a Christian and I love the holidays that are all about Christ. The problem is that every year since 2008, I've had a hard time getting excited about Christmas because I've always had to go visit my aunt and uncle and it's a long story about why, but I hate it. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I wish they'd be the ones to visit us for a change. Like I said, it's a long story about why, but I hate going to their home and to make matters worse, my uncle, as a gift, makes our plane arrangements and always wants us to stay for a week. And that means that I don't usually get to do what I want on new years eve and we're often traveling ...

Ok so my sister came to me, as if she was going to tell me something, and I said "What?" and she said "Nothing. I'll leave it to mom".
I asked her if it involved me and she said "Well I guess it does in a way.". My parents talked about foster care a LONG time ago just because my dad was in it. But do you think my sister is just scaring me??
