I got baptized as a jehovahs wittness at 9. it gets really bad, and i kno it, but if you fing=d god, then he will make it all right. When the bible says that god is our savior, its right. and what problem could your mom have with coming to have an appreciation of god? if u need more help, email me at alissag42EXCITE.COM. im always here to help, but god is too!
xyz answered Thursday July 15 2004, 11:27 am: Find a hobby. Do you like to draw? Or would you like to play a musical instrument? How about going to a summer camp where you will be supervised by adults (so grandma won't worry)? Are there any youth groups you can join? Maybe you can join a choir if you like to sing. The answer is to be active. Don't just sit around and watch TV or play video games. Get out and meet others, join groups, attend classes, and seize the opportunity to be active and involved! In my opinion, you'll find happiness that way. [ xyz's advice column | Ask xyz A Question ]
mylordwon answered Thursday June 24 2004, 3:48 pm: Barb,
Since you've talked to your mom & grandma and they didn't understand what you're feeling, I have one suggestion. Try praying. Jesus wants to hear all about your hurt and He wants to dry thoses tears. He loves you very much and He will never leave you alone. He can also change your mom's heart and dad's heart and show them you are more important than their work. Trust Him, Barbara, Jesus wants to be your best friend. Be sure to write me and tell me all about what Jesus did. 'k? [ mylordwon's advice column | Ask mylordwon A Question ]
Short_N_Punky answered Wednesday June 23 2004, 11:49 pm: Well when your parents get home ask them if you can spend the night at your friends house or go over some time. So your summer isnt as boring now that you have friends to hang out with. Or have friends goto your house. But next sumemr maybe you should sign up for camp or something to. Make plaisn ahead of time. Hope iv helped a little dont be afraid to write back.
Signed

_pott_head_ answered Wednesday June 23 2004, 8:06 pm: i think you should talk to your parents about your grandma. everyone needs fresh air and exercise...its healthy...maybe you could have your friends who are in town come over and you can have sleepovers and stuff. im sure if there are more people then maybe your grandma will let you hang out outside more.
adviceguru answered Wednesday June 23 2004, 7:48 pm: oK, i DoNt ThInK ThAt YoU should run away from home, because your parents might think ur a psycho and let u out even LESS! but, u should talk to them and ur grandma and try to convince them to let u out...tell ur grandma to go with you when u go somewhere(it might be a drag, but its better than being indoors ur whole summer) if all else fails, find something to do inside like search for the meaning of life(you might find out!)and maybe even reinvent urself!

LilMia811 answered Wednesday June 23 2004, 7:39 pm: You need to find time to talk to your parents about having a chat with your grandma about letting you out. let your grandma know you are trustworthy, and yuo are going to be okay. Let them know you are miserable and that you've been crying, and you need to get out the house and have fun on your summer vacation because it is not fair that you are stuck in the house all day. If you don't get out soon you're going to fall into a block of depression, so go talk to them and make your point clear, don't give up untl some type of comprimise is made. Good Luck! :)
