My mom neVer spends time with me. What should I do?
My mom never wants to spend time with me. I asked her if we could go to the mall to buy me a better bra today, and she invited my 11 year old sister. I realized we've never gone to the mall, just the two of us. I'm going through a tough time ( puberty) and I can't talk to her about it. What should I do?

Sit down with your mom in a private area and tell her that you would like to spend some time with alone with her and that you are needing a little extra support from her right now. Explain it to her the way you have explained it to us.
Alot of times teens have a difficult time expressing their needs and parents may not recognize what their teen is trying to tell them, but by being straight forward with this and stating specifically what you need, this should clear up any miscommunication.

Don't take it personally, hun. You're probably just over reacting - puberty causes your hormones to go all over the place.
It's probably not the fact she "never wants to spend time with you" - have you ever thought how your 11 year old sister may feel if she didn't get invited to go shopping with you both? I bet she'd be a little bummed out - younger brothers and sisters always get that little extra attention, you don't have to feel jealous and pushed away by it. :)
Talk to her when your sister's in bed or playing etc, I reckon you just need a little comfort at this time - don't forget you have friends to talk to as well.
Good luck!

Just talk to your mother about it and let her know how you feel. Ask her if you can spend one on one time with her. Parents try their best to make their kids happy but we cant guess everything so let us no sometimes to help you.
