My house is Hell.
Posted Saturday March 19 2011, 2:29 pm
I am a fifteen year old girl living in Hell. My parents fight constantly. Over the dumbest shit ever. I am smited and cursed at and beat because I can't do a lot of things the way my parents want because I have never learned. For instance, today, my stepdad strangled me because I walked away when he was telling me to go get something. My mom pulled me by my hair because I accidentally got the house wet with the hose when I was cleaning out the cat box. They treat me like shit. My mom tells me I'm ugly and she gets very angry because I am quiet and I am a little bit difficult at learning things. She complains that I can't do anything right. It makes me feel like I will never ever amount to anything at all. When I try to be what they want, I ...

How do I apologize?
Posted Friday March 18 2011, 9:07 am
I am fifteen. Last summer, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I had sex with an ex. It completely erased my mind, really, until in January. My parents found out. They were absolutely ashamed. I could understand why, because I have always been a good child. But then they started treating me like I was a slut. My mom bought me all these old tight shirts that didn't show my body or cleavage, and I went to counseling and the doctor. I was punished, confined in my house with no communication to the outside world.
Two months later. I have my phone back but I am not allowed back on Facebook yet. My parents and I are good, and I am repaired. The most hurt of all this is my stepdad. He didn't talk to me up until March. We have b...

So lost
Posted Thursday March 17 2011, 1:52 pm
Hey guys. I really need someone to talk to and I have no one. I don't even have one person. So, I hope that maybe someone out there will here my cry and give me the advice I need. I appreciate first of all that you are reading this. But, I really need practical advice. Not just someone telling me to talk to my mom or something like that. Because obviously, I wouldn't be at this point if I didn't "talk" to her. I have sat her down and talked to her about this. But, my mom doesn't listen. Not only does she not listen, but you never know what kind of mood she's in. She may say ok and the next day she goes and does it again.
First of all I'm 20/female. I live with my mom and my grandparents. My mom and I have good and b...

How do I tell them?
Posted Thursday March 17 2011, 12:16 pm
I'm 18 years old and I love my boyfriend with all my heart. We both want to have a baby and now I think I might be pregnant. I'm kind of happy because my family wants me to graduate high school and go to college. My family is very judgemental so how do I tell them that I'm going to have a baby. Has anyone been through this? How would you tell your family? My boyfriend is the type of guy that will be by your side no matter what.

He's too prideful...
Posted Tuesday March 15 2011, 11:23 am
Well I resently found out a lot of things about my boyfriend. He doesn't speak to his uncle and his uncle wants to help him get a job. My boyfriend hasn't talked to his uncle in years and I want them to start talking to each other because his uncle wants to help him out. My boyfriend is very prideful and I fear that that pride will push him futher away from his uncle. He told me that if his uncle really wants to talk to him his aunt has his number so she could give it to him. The thing about this is that his uncle tries to get to him through his cuzins. I tell to call his uncle to let go of his pride for one moment and just talk to his uncle. His uncle can open a lot of doors for him but he doesn;t let go of that pride. So how do I get him ...

Losing emotions

Should I be worried by my loss of the "good" emotions as they are. Empathy, love, symnpathy all those are lessening each day some I don't even feel at all anymore. Should I be worried though I don't seem to care much at all about them?

Mother Drinking
Posted Saturday March 12 2011, 2:07 am
So, my mother drinks every night of the weekends, and sometimes during the week nights. We tend to argue more when she drinks. The past two nights, it has been especially bad. She says low blows and insults, and treats me like I'm a child (I just turned 18 a couple months ago). She'll find any excuse to create a fight. I've tried talking to her about this in the past, but it gets nowhere. She just tells me that I'm "always trying to make her feel guilty" or scream at me for calling her an alcoholic. I have mentioned it to my dad in the past and he brought it up to her, who just got angry at me. I honestly don't think she's an alcoholic, just that she cannot control her emotions well when she drinks. During these fights she'll alwa...

Do I have a reason to be annoyed?
Posted Friday March 11 2011, 5:11 pm
I'm a 14 yr old chick.
My mom and I usually get along, but if I'm up late doing homework or get anything under an A in school she flips. I try to talk to her and explain what happened but she's always angry.
For example:
Me: *working on an essay kinda late*
mom: why are you doing that so late? (came right on into my room)
Me: I'm doing the changes you told me to...
Mom: (in an annoyed snotty tone) I don't like you putting off your homework (false) this late. You should've had it done earlier.
And this evolved into an up-till-11 thing involving me her and my dad, and he agreed that she was being a little mean.
Second thing, I have no personal bubble. She comes into my room without m...

My brother hurts my mom and sister
Posted Wednesday March 9 2011, 2:51 am
I am 29 yrs old with a family of my own. My mom, step dad, 20 yr old brother and 19 yr old sister live together. My mom is with my step dad while he's in the hospital. So sis has been cooking, cleaning and going to college everyday. I think its crazy but she has to tell my brother repeatedly to eat, take a shower,and get ready things like that or mom will fuss at her when she comes home. Cause he is so lazy he forgets to do these things. My little sister texted me yesterday stating my brother slapped her across the face and told her to shut her mouth. Even though mom was there. Mom didn't pay any attention. i don't know what she might have said to him but its not right. He calls her bad names especially when moms gone. She told me of one t...

guilty
Posted Tuesday March 8 2011, 5:11 pm
17/f
I don't know why I feel guilty towards my dad today. Today is his birthday and I yelled at him, because I bought him this blu-ray DVD he's been wanting to play in his blu-ray DVD player. When he got it, he told me he didn't want it anymore and to go return it. I was angry, so I just yelled. I know it was wrong of me, I felt guilty afterwards because he came into my room and gave me green grapes, which is what I said what I wanted for my birthday, which was 3 days after his. I gave him some of my red velvet cupcake. He's not angry anymore, but I still feel really guilty. Maybe also because when I'm 18 years old, my mom and him are divorcing because so none of them would have to pay for child support, but not just that. My...
