my family fights alot. there is never a night that goes by without all of us screaming at each other. it takes everything i me to stay strong for not just my family, but my friends too. things aren't the best with them right now, and i just don't know what to do? i want to be strong for everyone, i want to be the rock, but it's just so hard to hold it all in. sometimes it seems like it would help if i just had someone to talk to. i really don't know. any suggestions to help me be there like i want to be?

KaJabbers! answered Wednesday December 8 2004, 7:09 pm: you know, it might sound too ironic, but my family is alot like yours. I mean family time always ends up as yelling-at-each-other time, and everyone in my family is always arguing about something. We all want to be the rock that's strong and stable for everyone, but sometimes even a rock needs to crumble once in a while lol. I mean you cant always expect to be strong! talk to one of your friends, another adult, or a random person online! I bet it will make you feel alot better... before i knew better, i kept things from my friends thinking that they didnt want to be bothered by my problems, but then i found out that they did! they wanted to be there for me as much as i wanted to be there for them... so now i know i have people i can talk to during the tough times, and they will always be there for me. I bet that will work for you too if you give it a chance! thnx for sending me your question, and i hope things work out! best of luck
