Okay, I'm 13/f
I love school for two reasons- my friends and getting away from my mom. Lately my mom had her tooth puolled and she's been whining and groaning and yelling at me and being nice to my brother. I feel like a burden, That's why I hate it at home. ShouldI get professional help w/ my problems or ask my friends because they help me with alot like I help them. I'm closer to them than I am my whole family. I've told my one of my Boy BFF's who understands (and who I like but thats different) me, but he swore not o tell and now I'm thinking I should tell this teacher who everyone loves including me, but I'm not sure soooo.... what do you think?

You need to talk to someone. Your friends are probably the best bet, because at this age, kids and parents are always fighting, and your friends might be going through somewhat of the same thing.
Teachers are good too, but they might go all "adult" on your ass. Thats all fine and dandy but sometimes if you just want to bitch and complain about your mom, your friends will probably listen better than teachers..
Teachers would probably say "try and make peace with your mom, she loves you, try and get along with her", and then they will probably lecture you about why mothers are like that and such.
I think its funner to just bitch and complain to friends. They will understand more than teachers because they are probably going through the same thing. [ Jodieee's advice column | Ask Jodieee A Question ]

so, unless you really want to, just try talking to your friends too. it seems they're really helpful, and they're trustworthy, and they're your age, so they can obviously relate more with stuff happening and everything.
that kind of how it is with me. with my grandparents and stuff, i'll get yelled at if i don't talk to them or hug them or something, whereas my brother NEVER visits them or if he does something he might not get in trouble. it's weird, isn't it? but what i do to just get away is, i just sit in my room, light some candles, play music or read a book or just sit back and watch tv. sometimes i even lock the door if i don't want anybody coming in. and if you ever want to release feelings, and nobody there to talk t, just write to yourself and keep it somewhere special so nobody else can read it.
