moving into college troubles
Posted Sunday August 7 2011, 12:53 pm
So when I go to college on the 24th, my bf was planning on coming down to help out with the move in and help me set up my internet considering I can't deal with that techy stuff haha. So my dad was said I need to find someone who can help me with that, and I said oh (bf name)is really techy he's going to help me. And my dad immediately said NO. he refuses to let him come down to help me move in. And I'm stuck on what to do. I ask why and he says its bc he made the decision that's no. I don't know how to even begin to tell my bf, and it breaks my heart that my dad is controlling who is there for me on move in day. But he's so adamant about it. What would you do? What should I do? I'm so pissed at him and its just ridiculous. He tells me he p...

My mom is going to get an abortion.
Posted Saturday August 6 2011, 12:19 am
Well, I'm 14 and I'm not really sure how to go about this so please bear with me. My mom is thinking about getting an abortion. For awhile she was really sick so we went to the hospital and found out that she's pregnant with twin. I was SHOCKED but happy nonetheless. I already love those two as much as I love my little brother (he's one). I honestly thought my mom was happy too but I guess not because she dropped the bomb today that she was thinking about abortion. Now, my mom has A LOT of medical issues going on, most of which I don't even really know. However I do know that she has fibromyalgia (a type of arthiritis) and she had to have surgery on her stomach more than once :\ Both of her pregnancies (mine and my brother's) were high ris...

No social life -- extreme parents.
Posted Friday August 5 2011, 11:28 pm
18 years old. Female. In a Muslim family (origin Pakistan). Living in Canada. I have no social life. No friends. The closest thing is an acquaintance that lives 2 floors down my Mom's apartment. I live with my Dad, visit my Mom on weekends/holidays. I'm not allowed to talk to boys -- including my cousins, and relatives (I always get yelled at, then humiliated if I do).
I was browsing online and I found a meet up site where you can meet up with people and make friends. My mom said it's alright but I can't go and make any friends with guys. Whatever, I know that. But I get angry. I don't talk to boys ever, even if I've been in classes with all boys, and then to have her even lecture me makes me angry. I understand my parents are tryi...

I kinda cused out my aunt . . .
Posted Wednesday August 3 2011, 8:26 pm
Well a year ago my dad came back from Mexico and I was very thrilled but one thing that did tick me off was that my aunt would ask me when he was coming back and would always ask me about him . And after he came back I called and texted her to tell her he was here and she didn't even care . ! She didn't even call him or texted him . And he's been back for about a year, about 2 months ago she had called me asking me why I hadn't called her or vistited her and all this stupid stuff and I had told her "Who is the adult here ? Who is/was suppose to keep contact with her brother and family, me or you ?" and she got upset and asked me if he had a phone or if I was able to pass him the phone for her to talk to him and I told her off, yes...

ok, my mom has been totally addicted to facebook for about 2 or 3 years now. at first, she only went on a few times a day, but before i knew it, it became an addiction. she used to go on facebook on the computer, but ever since she got a blackberry, she goes on facebook on there. once my dad tried to tell her that she was becoming too addicted and that she was tearing apart the family relationship, she completely flipped and cried and screamed and cursed... so that was the last time anything was said about her addiction. it still really bothers me though. i cant talk to her about it cuz anytime i try to talk to her about someting i dont like, it ends up with either her pullingmy hair and screaming in my face and/or her cursing me out. so ta...

I feel like I am being watched
Posted Monday August 1 2011, 11:23 pm
I honestly feel like my step brother has hooked up a hidden camera in my room. His friends will come over and they have this name that they call me, and i'm pretty sure it involves what I do in the privacy of my room. I have looked up how to detect a hidden camera but I don't even know where to begin looking. Like the internet says they can be hidden in tvs and vcrs but how the heck are you supposed to open a vcr or tv to find a camera? I want to confront my mom about it but she'll just think im crazy, and she'll ask me why I think theres a hidden camera in my room and I really dont want to explain the meaning behind their joke.. What do I do? How do I know if theres a camera in my room? I mean, the internet also says "look for any red...

Relationship with my mom.. kind of long
Posted Saturday July 30 2011, 1:08 pm
My mom and I have a really good relationship, but some things need work. I'm 20/f in college and I feel like my mom thinks I'm 16 sometimes. I'm a very petite young woman. I'm 5 ft. tall, if that. And, as strange as it seems, I think it throws her off sometimes. My mom is my best friend and I lover her so much. That's why I feel like I need her approval for everything. Not her "permission," per say. But, it's nice to have her blessing. I don't want to disappoint her not because I'm scared of her but because I want to make her happy. The problem is, that I'm not happy. We don't always want the same things and even if I do something that I think makes me happy, if she isn't, then I'm not. I think that in a way, it's kind of unhealth...

Working Parents Uneaqual Social Life
Posted Friday July 29 2011, 10:41 am
How can I feel less jealous of my husband and have more fun?
I'm 34 and love my husband. I work 7AM-4PM. My husband works as a clerk at a store from 11AM to 7PM. We have two kids, ages 3yrs and 6 months. Our kids go to a babysitter from 9AM to 4:30PM.
I am constantly jealous of my husband. He uses the 9AM-11AM period of his day to have independent fun. And he gets to socialize all day with his friends and have a pretty casual job.
I love my kids, but taking care of them by myself after work has taxed me all day is a challenge. Taking them with me to socialize or run errands is difficult.

Is my dad addicted to codeine?
Posted Thursday July 28 2011, 5:27 pm
My dad has been taking codeine for around 2-3 years. He first took it when he broke his collarbone and his doctor continues to prescribe it for him. I've read about people getting addicted to prescription medication and I'm just wondering if it's possible for my dad to have become addicted to the codeine?

thinking of having a child but im 14
Posted Wednesday July 27 2011, 3:35 pm
I dont know what to do. Im only 14 and ive been in a relationship with this boy for a year, on and off now, and he's been talking about us having a child. Ive been really thinking about this and I really feel like Im ready for something like this. I know its not exactly a walk in the park bringing up a child and that it isnt something i can just forget about if i get fed up of the responsibilities. I do want to have a child with him now but honestly im not sure if I should. I saw what you said to some girls question and just thought youd be able to help. Please reply, Im not sure who else to ask.

Ok so here is the situation, my sister and I are best friends like we are really close. I'm the oldest and recently she did something that I thought was really foolish and very dangerous, so I told on her.

She war really mad at me but she isn't big on holding grudges, Do you think I over reacted by telling on her?
