Basically I'm sick to death of my family. I really need to get away from them for just a little while. I love them, but for the moment, we aren't getting along too well. None of my friends are around and I'm not allowed to go anywhere without my parents.
Info that might help:
I have 2 younger brothers that constantly fight, and an older brother. My dad is in another state for the next few days, but my mom is here.
help me please!

cutie4u1212 answered Friday July 15 2005, 12:06 am: try talking to your parents. Tell them whats bothering you and maybe they'll take a second look and see from your point of view. If this still doesnt help invite a few of your friends over, there has to be some! or just invite over people you would like to get to know. your parents will see that you are responsible in chosing the right type of people to hang out with. Hopefully this will let them be more carefree so you can leave the house and hang out with a friend. If your still lost try a new hobbie to get away from it all! good luck hun!

Best thing to do is find your own little space in the house and spend some time there away from your family. I got pretty much the same situation, only it is all of my family in my house and there is alot of tension in my house for various reasons. It is me, my dad, my mom, and my sister with 4 cats at home and like I said there is alot of tension for various reasons. Best thing that works is to try and find your own little space in your house and spend some time there to yourself. Maybe try and volunteer for something to get out of the house or take up playing a sport or something. Hope everything gets better! [ Alpha345's advice column | Ask Alpha345 A Question ]
LSRGrayson answered Thursday July 14 2005, 11:25 pm: Alright, I completely understand what you are going through. My family and I have never really gotten along, but there is still the underlying love. My trick is avoidance. I avoid my family by reading, playing video games, watching TV, and talking to my friends online. Of course, work and getting ready for college also keep me busy. If you are fifteen or older, you could look into getting a summer job until school starts, or you could go out exercising or playing sports. Families all go through their phases of "sanity." Siblings tend to get better, while parents tend to get worse, until about their 70's or whenever they become grandparents, as long as its not too early! Im not saying that making your parents into grandparents fixes everything instantly, so don't do anything...premature. I dont know about your family, but in mine, my father is the rational one, and is often with me about my opinions of my mother, the not so sane one. Have patience with them, and don't lower yourself to their level by yelling back at them. If your mother yells at you, simply listen to her, and fight the temptation to yell back. Just avoid them as much as possible. Once school starts back up, things will be better. Good luck with your family. Email me if you want more advice.

cujobird answered Thursday July 14 2005, 8:24 pm: What if you went and volunteered somewhere? Your Mom would probably let you go alone there and you can have the away time you need as well as a change of pace.
Hope this helps [ cujobird's advice column | Ask cujobird A Question ]
