Okay, so I am 18f. When I was about 4 I had brain bleeds and because of this, when I was 17 I started having minor epilepsy. I would just blank out for about 10 seconds and basically I was staring into space for a moment. Now, because of this I have had brain surgery over a month ago, I am completely fine now. Heres my problem, I used to drive and one time I fell asleep at the wheel and now my mom is all like "you had a seizure and drove into the ditch" which is completely untrue. You are probly asking "how do you know?", but I know because before when I had seizures, I would get a feeling that one was coming on and then it would pass. I was seriously tired that day and I was just about to pull over when I fell asleep a ...

My Parents Are Getting Divorced! How Do I Get Through This?
Posted Thursday September 2 2010, 5:37 pm
So my parents are getting divorced. Well, they've been saying that for 17 years (since I was born) but they're actually going to now.
Of course many of my friends have divorced parents and I thought that if they were going to get divorced, it's later on that'll be okay but I'm actually wrong. I just feel so...I can’t even describe it! Like the divorcing part, I really don’t care much I guess since I keep going into this mode when they always talked about it to prepare myself.
And back then I was. But now that there's so much at stake and I'm going to university next year and I have two younger siblings to think about, I really don't know!
How did children of divorced parents even get through ...

Posted Monday August 30 2010, 6:18 pm
19/f. i wnated to leave for college when i graduated from high school but due to a series of events that would take to long to write, i stayed here and i'm living at home. i attend a university, not community college, so there are dorms and stuff and it's like a real university with events and so on. but, i can't live at home anymore. i'm up to my last nerve. I can't move out. I live in Miami and everything here is really expensive. Like a one bedroom apartment is 1200 dollars. and my mom won't let me room with anyone if it's not in school. i want to leave and i need my mom to let me go... or at least be ok with going, because i know i'm an adult but i still don't want to go without her blessing.

HELP ME PLEASE Should I be honest with my mom?
Posted Monday August 30 2010, 9:54 am
So I was chatting online with my friend about drinking and stuff cause I was getting red spots after getting drunk. We were talking about vodka and stuff then I went to the bathroom. When I came back, my mom was in front of the laptop. When I was trying to say "wait", she just had a straight face. I think she read our chat. So now I'm really scared. I don't know what to do. Should I tell her? HELP ME PLEASE.:(

does this seem right?
Posted Sunday August 29 2010, 4:48 pm
ok so my friend cheated on her boyfriend and is trying to hide it obviously. we were hanging out with a bunch of people and the guy i really like was there. she likes him too. (even though she has a boyfriend) another friend was saying how she cheated on her boyfriend with some guy we meet in the city one night. so she tried to cover it up by saying that i had sex with him, in front of everyone at the party, not her. now the guy i like thinks i'm a slut and a bad friend for leaving my friend to go have sex with the guy we met at the city. and its all because she doesn't want this guy to think she's a cheater. do you think this is a little f*cked up or is it just me? what should i do?

My Mother's Jealousy
Posted Saturday August 28 2010, 3:50 pm
I am getting a Masters in Psychology. A lot of my motivation has been to make my parents proud because they always complain that I'm lazy and they are sometimes scared that I won't succeed in life. So it really hurt me with I overheard my mom tell my grandma that I walk around like I'm on a high horse; as if I demand constant praise because I got into a Masters program which I think is rediculous! I think she's jealous of me because my life is awesome and she, in turn, hates her job and has to deal with a lot of crap from my dad. How should I handle her negative feelings toward me?

Parent Troubles
Posted Friday August 27 2010, 11:16 pm
I'm a fifteen year old girl and lately I've felt like I'm not good enough for my parents. They always concentrate on my weaknesses and not my strengths. Even the smallest things get me in trouble but when I try to talk to my parents about how I'm feeling, they shut me out. Even on good days I'll get ignored when I talk or they'll roll their eyes at me and say I'm just trying to be dramatic and get attention. When I get mad I start yelling and then I get in more trouble and my parents REALLY won't listen to me. They're hypocritical and judgmental and I don't know what to do. I feel like I can't really talk to them even though I'd love to be able to tell them how I feel and be able to talk out our problems. They just shut me out when I...

I never taught my boys to hunt or fish.
Posted Thursday August 26 2010, 11:01 pm
I'm father to two grown young men each on his own and making it go in life, but they never learned to hunt or fish from me, they did not learn carpentry skills or motor skills from me because I don't know how to do those things. It eats at me, the guilt. What better lives they could have had had I been a real man instead of a loser.

My Dad

I am so upset right now! I am tired of feeling like I am never good enough for him. I never do anything right and he always has to tell me. It hurts so bad, why can't fathers just love their children, and not have to make them feel like no matter how hard they try I fail.

im hiding the biggest secret that is killing me.
Posted Wednesday August 18 2010, 9:04 pm
basically i know my dads cheating. i dont think reallty that is with one women, i think its prostitutes. im 18.. ive known about this for years, but this year its hit me hard.

I want to move but my mom won't let us move how can I convince her
Posted Friday August 13 2010, 5:27 pm
Hi I'm 10 years old and I really want my mom to move to Strasburg, Pa so I can see my friend all the time, but even though I gave her good reasons why to move she still won't move how can I convince her.
BTW these are the reasons I gave her, about school I can transfer to the school in Strasburg.I won't be bugging her about when I can see my friend again, I can get a job and help her earn the money for the house. She can get a new job as a guidence counsler at the school, and she won't have to pay too much for the school.Last of all my house here is boring because there's nothing to do but if we move to Stasburg there will be tons of things I can do, and my mom still isn't convinced thats why I need help ):
