please help me. i hate my life. i really dont even wanna live anymore. my mom is so stubborn. today i said the "s" word. not to her but i got mad because something wouldn't work so i said "oh sh**" she got sooo mad. and she swears all the time. i didn't even mean to swear, it's just a habbit. just because she was mad that i swore, she unplugged the whole computer system, told me im a waste of space, hit me, and she wont let me make any plans for the whole weekend. all because i said a "word." i can't stand this. how can i not swear when she puts me through so much pressure. i just want to die. i really wanted to go to the movies with my boyfriend tonight. i've been waiting forever. what can i say to my mom to let her know i'm sorry so i can go to the movies? and do you feel her actions were a little "much"? i need your advice on what to do. im soooo sad right now. im crying as i type this.
By hitting you, your mother commited an act of physical violence that is a serious offence - both morally and legally. Domestic abuse is not cool in any situation, regardless of what you've said. If this is repeated behaviour, you need to do something about it.
In a few years, you'll be out of her custody, and out of that house. Live for that.
jumadel answered Friday June 9 2006, 11:11 pm: Hi, I don't think your mother should have hit you. In away we all swear, I bet even the President swears sometimes. The only thing that might convince your mother is if you say something like "About last time, will, Im sorry I sweared, its just that life is a bit stressful sometimes, Im sorry, can we just settle this?" something like that should do it. Sometimes we taqke in that much pressure that we've got to just set out of the situation and wait until things cool down. Swearing is normal, its just when we do it that matters. Get back to me if you need any more advice. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]
secretsdontmakefriends answered Friday June 9 2006, 8:57 pm: wow i have been ther and i know that right now there isnt much that anyone can do to help, but i will try my best. i know what you are going thru, i have been there so many times. i cant only tell you to hold on. yea life sux, but you cant give up, if you do your just letting them win. you cant let them win. think about the people who love you, dont think that no one does, you friends (tho i no that sometimes they act like they dont care) your bf. what really helps me is music. everyone eles will leave you, but the music never will. try to find some bands and people that like the same music as you do. this music will give you a reason to live and it tells you to hold on and keep going
some of the stuff that helps me is "hold on" by good charlotte
"pressure" by paramore
"welcome to my life" "worst day ever" "im just a kid" and many others from simple plan
"my reply" by the ataris
and all the songs from from first to last
just try to find music that you love and that tells you to keep going
www.purevolume.com is a great place to hear music
plez stay with me. i no what its like. you just have to keep going. if you can try to get out of the house and go to some concerts, you can meet people there just like you. the most important thing to remember is to never give up.life is hard but you just have to keep going and live thru it. sure your gonna have your hard times but you have to live for tomarrow. you have to live and help others to live to. your not alone. there are millons or people out there that know how you feel. no matter what you are never alone. i hope i have helped. there are so many reasons why you should live.
advice answered Friday June 9 2006, 8:16 pm: My parents hate me swearing too. One time she over heard me tell my brother to get the fuck out because he was bothering me when my friends were over, and she sent me to my room. I know that's not nearly as bad as what your mom did, but most parents are like that. They hate it when their kids swear. Maybe she was just mad that day and took it all out on you. People tend to do that. If I were you, I wouldn't ask to go to the movies tonight, since she's obviously really mad, and it might make matters worse. You should stay away from people when they're mad, that's what I do, especially my mom. I do think her action were a little much, but then again, she was probably in a horrible mood that day. Just hang in there. =) [ advice's advice column | Ask advice A Question ]
countrygirl6571 answered Friday June 9 2006, 7:14 pm: oh hun, first of all tell her it is HER fault that you swear, i mean since she does it all the time, i mean what kind of mom is she? Tell her she is a bad influence on you and that you thought that she wouldnt mind because she swears allll the time. And another thing, if she really hit you hard tell her that it really hurt you physically and emotionally and that you waont swear around her ever again. ALSO, if he apologizes for hitting you then make sure she KNOWS that if she does it again, you will call a hotline that could get her arrested. Tell her that you LOVE her and it scares you that she hit you. well, i hope this works!
