My homelife pretty much sucks


Question Posted Sunday January 25 2009, 5:39 pm

My parents and I are constantly fighting. There saying now they are going to kick me out (I am 18 so they can). Right now there saying I'm just going to go stay a couple of days with my sister until things calm down. The issue is, I'm worried about my school work. My parents are telling me that they don't care. What do I tell the teachers if they ask why I was gone? Plus I have this huge project due and the teacher has already extended the deadline for me because I was out sick last week. I really don't know what to do... Please help?

Well first of all I'm really happy to hear (well read) that you actually care about you school work, not most teens do. But communication can make wonders. I think you should explain your situation to your teacher and she might extend you deadline even more, and you may even learn a few things from her. Lots of people have really sucky homelife and sadly enough your one of them. Its good that your with your sister (if you like her)because sometimes agressive relationships can lead to them taking it out on you ... physically. So you should stay with you sister unless things really calm down and you feel good enough to go back home =] i hope i helped

Hello,communication is a big issue in this situation,I am not sure what is going on wiht you and your family but if you all sit down and have a heart to heart about this issue(s) you may have a good chance of sticking around, I am sure all you of you guys can succumb to some sort of aggrement and or compromise, in order to work things out you must put everything on the table I know this will ne difficult but it is worth a shot and will be well worth it. Education is very improtant and since you missed days previous to this event it is vital that you atleast try to talk about it,if you have no clue how to comfront your parents regarding this issue you can send me a message and I can be of aid to you in any way possible, son't hesitate to ask me. If there is no chance of you staying at home with your parents all you can do is possibly call the school couselor or attendance office and tell them that you are having family issues and can't make it to school this way the school will know in advance,that is a pretty hard step to take though, you can email the teacher directly and if you are seriously behind in the class you can explain vaguely what is going on and that you cant make it to school. Also if you have to go to your sisters you can complete or try to complete the project in time to possibly get the assignments to school whether it be by your sister or some other way.There always many ways to work out issues but its hard finding the right way:). You may want to complete the project just in case the tacher accepts it late, Just try to be optimistic and if you have any further questions you can send me a private message and i can try to help you morei hope this was helpful I am deeply sorry for the situation tha you are going through but remember everything happens for a reason good or bad. I am not sure why you and your parents are constantly bickereing but there is obviously a major or a few minor issues at hand.getting through this difficult time may brign you guys closer as a family:)
SINCERLY,DIAMOND:)

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. All I can say is, if there is absoultely NO way you can get to school / get your project to school on time (maybe email it to her?) if you can't email it and you can't get to school, I would e-mail your teacher and tell her that you are having a family issue/emergancy and you cannot be there and ask what she thinks you should do.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that!!! Maybe you can kindly express to your parents that even though you and they are not agreeing at this moment, you take your school work seriously and you would like to get it done!!! Maybe you can also express the same thing to your sister!!!

When you are telling each person the way you feel, be direct but also be sincere. Don't act like you are entitled, and don't be rude. Just tell them how you feel about your work

If you need the help that much then you can always ask me. I am willing to help you tackle any topic, if you let me know what your homework is about. We can work on it together if you don't have anyone to help you!!!

Good luck!!! And I hope that you and your parents find some common ground.
