its so fucking annoying. this entire year so far i've probably missed the bus about 15 times. and now my mom is fed up with driving me to school (my dad used to do it but he leaves for work very early now) so she makes me stay home. this is the 2nd time i have to stay home.. idk im so fucking disorganized with everything. after tidying my room (which will take me like 1-3 days to do.. cuz i get distracted) it just gets messy during the week and then i go through the same brutal weekend ritual of cleaning it and then it just gets messy later. i dunno why my mom obsesses over that. i wanna clean it when i want to. but honestly i dont give a damn what it looks like unless visitors or something are there. i can find things in the mess too. nothings wrong with it being neat but its hard to maintain it. same with the bus.. well not really but all the time it happens.. this is the 2nd time this week iv'e missed it and im so mad because today was hat day and i had this cute had i wanted to wear. ive done everything else.. i took a shortcut to a diff bus stop in a diff neighborhood twice when i missed my regular one till my bus driver told me not to do that anymore or she'll like call the police or something. once i went with my aunt and lied my mom wasnt home because i knew she'd make me stay home all day. i got in alot of trouble for that.. and another time i went with my friend's nanny who i hardly knew.. i knew i could have gotten murdered but she doesnt seem the type and she's seen me go to school with her well the girl she babysits since like elementary school (im a 7th grade now. a girl by the way). but if i told my parents they'd kill me. not that i'd do that again. but seriously.. i've done everything.. i even considered walking like.. 5 miles to get to my school... or ride my bike.. even though it goes through like a highway and like a woody area and like 2 train tracks. i even considered going on the 5th and 6th graders bus but then i thought that i may not be able to do that either. this reaaaaally sucks. and now my mom wants me to clean my room.. maybe she'll drop me at school then? probably not. IM SO FUCKING ANNOYED. I dont even usually curse but now i feel like cursing every second. its already 11am and school started at 9. and the school called and asked where i was or something and i said i was absent cause i missed the bus and nobody would drop me. i didnt add the fact that my mom was home and she also had a car. well she isnt home now. shes out. im not even supposed to be online or watch tv or listen to the radio. just clean my room. im about to wash my clothes.. but seriously how can i fix all of this? im extremely extremely pissed off.

Yeah it would be cool for her to take you and she should but you have a responsibility to do your growing up thing. You gotta take a shower at night and pick your clothes out at night like home boy said and you know set like 2 or 3 alarms then you gotta do it. It's responsibility. And be safe, ride with people you know. Try to figure out why you over sleep all the time and change that. Peace. Oh and i keep a dirty room too but you know when in rome do as the romans. When you get your own crib you keep it how you want babe. Peace. [ connieconfused's advice column | Ask connieconfused A Question ]
XkittyOkatX answered Friday March 23 2007, 12:48 pm: Well, definitely don't try to get a ride with anyone you don't know; if you talk it over wiht your parents, your aunt may be able to take you..
My advice is, since school starts at nine, which is pretty late compared to high school and stuff, try to pick your clothes out the night before, and take your showers at night. That way, you wont have to waste time with the apperance things; plus hair is so much easier to straighten and stuff from the night before shower, in my opinion, haha. Also, try to just pick things up you've left sprawled out throughout the day, that way, you wont have a gigantic mess throughout the week, taking something a small bit at a time is so much easier than taking something in one huge mass at once.
Those two things should make things easier; you might even get a little more sleep time. I'm not sure what time you have to get to your busstop, but get yourself ready so that you're ready to leave at least 10 minutes before the bus gets there; it provides transportation time and extra time, just in case.
orphans answered Friday March 23 2007, 12:29 pm: hmm.. don't walk.. that would be bad.. possibly ride your bike.. or find a friend you can ride with. you need to just tell your mom to stay out of your business lol. but really, clean your room and KEEP it cleaned and then maybe your mom will leave you alone. man i really feel bad for youu.. i dont know any other possibilities besides those :( [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
CourtneyGlynne answered Friday March 23 2007, 12:26 pm: Your mother should be responsible enough to either make sure you get to the bus stop on time or take you to school in the event that you miss the bus. It is her responsibility to make sure that you attend your classes and to make sure that you are not tardy. Yes, you're a young lady and some of the responsibility might should weigh on your shoulders, but that does not rid your mother of her actual motherly duties. When you miss the bus, your mother should HAVE to take you to school. Otherwise, I seriously doubt her concern for your education. A mothers laziness is no reason for someone to miss school. Yeah, she might be getting fed up with it, but she needs to talk with you about it and ya'll need to figure out a better plan. Such as a different time for waking up to ensure that you make it to your bus stop with time to spare. Or for her to make the effort just to take you to school. If you're only five miles from your school, she shouldn't have such an issue driving you, unless she's just irresponsible herself. She made a choice when she had children and she needs to uphold that choice.
