I'm 19 years old and in college. I have a part-time job, but I don't make enough to live on my own. The other day I was arguing with my mom because I overslept and missed my 7AM class. She told me I was grounded. I thought she was kidding at first (she hasn't grounded me since I was 16), but then she told me to hand over my phone and car keys. I didn't want to get into anymore trouble with her so I did. Can she even do this?

I'm only 14, so I don't really know what to do and I don't even know what answers I am expecting out of this, but it just feels nice to say my problems to people even if they don't actually care. My dad is currently crazy. One time we were all practicing a family song for church and I was complaining because I didn't want to do it, so I was already on his bad side at the time. He walked out of the room for a few minutes because he was angry, then came back with a belt and started beating me with it. He said that he had heard me say something bad about him when he was gone, then asked my mom and brother if I said something bad about him. My brother and mom didn't say I did say something bad about him, but they didn't say I didn't either. They just kept shrugging and saying they didn't know whether I did or not, even though they knew I didn't say a single word about him. He also believes that someone is trying to kill us... He says that me or my mom has been talking to a man online and he's out to get us. Earlier today he was showing me "proof" that someone was out to get us by showing me some of the chrome sites and all they were were just a bunch of fake sites to get your credit info but he says they were planned by this evil guy for clues and to make him look crazy... I have a lot more to say but unfortunately I can only type so many words before the word limit has been reached...

15 year old daughter starts at new expensive private school this January Stressed because she isn't making any friends got in fight with a girl that's been bullying her since she started because the girl called her "white trash barbie" Suspended for 2 days Thinking about transferring her back to her old school.

I've had the same dream my whole life now. All 2 of my older siblings are studying stuff they're passionate about. I really want to get into music, youtube, and acting. My family and friends think I'm joking around or not being mature enough. I've reached a point in my life where I'm ashamed to tell anyone what I want to do. Whenever I think of my future I see myself happiest doing what I want. And I'm positive I know that to do with my life. My parents hate it when I tell them I want to get into acting and stuff. I can't even tell them that I still have the same passion because they'd judge me.

My sister is always mean to me one day when she had friends in her room she told me to get out of her room when I play my xbox she always puts on tv because there a show she really likes and I tell my mom and she doesnt care just because she's the oldest she could do what she want seriously why is my sister like that?

My sisters husband Joe works at the same place I do. He was getting behind on a project he was working on and he ask me to help him. I said sure and I worked with him during my lunch and sometimes after work. He was afraid he would loose his job if he did not get his project done on time. It was a struggle but we got the project completed on time. I got an email from my sister that said "I hope you remember all the help Joe gave you at work and all the time he spent with you so you could keep your job". My first reaction was that I should take that email to Joe and tell him to tell my sister the truth about who helped who. However on more thought I didn't do that. I thought why start a family fight when it can be avoided. If Joe wants to keep the truth from his wife, I will not interfere. However when Joe needs help again (which he will) I am going to be not available. Please tell me if you think I made the right decision. How should I handled this situation? THANKS

My girlfriend has never worked. She has one child from a previous relationship and although it was hard, we were making it. There was always an excuse for not being able to get a job. Then, our birth control failed. I told her I couldn't support another child by myself, but she wouldn't consider adoption/morning after pill. Now we're on benefits, literally every penny of my paychecks go to bills and baby supplies. I go without meals because I can't afford to eat. I work all day every day and do side jobs in what little free time I have left. Still she won't consider getting a job. I can't handle it. Everything is on me, it's stacking up and I just can't handle it. The worst part is hearing her complain that I work all the time. I'm gonna lose my mind. What do I do?

I am 16 years old . I have tried to tell my mom before but I always chicken out. I don't want be this way anymore. I want help and she is taking me to the doctor later today. Should I tell before we go to the doctor. I told her after she asked me if I was binging and purging and abusing laxatives she found my stash of laxatives. I told her the truth, I also told that I have tried to tell her before but was too afraid and embarrassed. I told my mom I wanted help and I wanted to stop making myself sick. My mom told to never be to afraid or too embarrassed to tell her anything especially when it comes to my health. She told me that we are going tell the doctor that I am Bulimic and she is going to get me treatment and counseling.

This is long but here it goes. No judgement please. So I Am an adult living on my own. I recently came out as bisexual to my dad and he flipped his lid. He disowned me, kicked my adult sister out . I told him a week before fathers day. My sisters yelled at me saying I shouldn't have told him so close to fathers day- should've waited until she could move out first or until I had at least dated a girl first. She kept going on how selfish I was because I never considered them. Well my sister was bragging how they have to do 2 birthdays because of this. I got mad- said you can't yell at me for coming out and then brag how much you enjoy it. She went on how incredibly selfish I was being. So I told her it wasn't easy for me and she wasn't there for me. Whenever I bring up girls she goes completely silent. She said it's because she's still mad. I said no that's not it and if they weren't comfortable with my sexuality they should've told me. She said no I would've gotten mad at them. I said no I would've respected that and gave you some time. I did tell him around fathers day out of spite because this man has ruined every holiday and birthday with his childish fits for quite a few years now. They say it's all my fault that the family split up because I knew how he would react and did it anyway. That he can't change because he's old. I don't even know what to do anymore. My last birthday ended with my family treating me like trash and me in tears and them laughing at me. Advice???

I'm 16 years old and I can't deal with my Stepmom anymore. I have an alarm clock in my room and I don't need her coming into and yelling are you up. I am not a morning person. And I don't need her yelling at me for drinking energy drinks and yelling at me for not eating breakfast. I am never hungry in the morning. I don't need her pulling my earbuds out and yelling young lady I was talking to you. I don't yell at her. I follow most of her rules except for the energy drinks. last weekend was She was sick I took care of my little brother, cooked and cleaned so she could rest. I don't hate my stepmom I love her. I just wish she wouldn't annoy me in the mornings. When I told my Stepmom that I wanted move live with my mom she asked me she was the reason I lied and said no. I lied because I didn't want to hurt my stepmom's feelings. I don't put ear buds in while my stepmom is talking to me. earlier today I called my mom and asked her if I could move. In with her. She said no because her husband's kids are living their and she doesn't have any room for me. I guess I'm stuck living with my dad and Stepmom. So I am not going bringing it up to my dad it.

Our relations are behavin, bad to all of my family, what can be the reason, they make that basically, so that they become they old society after wards?

Last month I got annoyed with my stepmom. she was on my back about withdrawing from friends and family. she wouldn't leave me along and she wouldn't get out of room. so I locked myself in the bathroom and told her that I was going to kill myself she called 911 and my dad. she also went through my iphone and found some notes that I wrote about feeling despressed. I am very grateful for my stepmom. I had to go a mental hospital for while and now I go to a counselor. how do I apologize to my stepmom for what I put her through that day. My dad and stepmom came to see me when I was in the hospital.my mom didn't come to see me she is ashamed of me. I am grateful that my dad and Stepmom love me

im embarassed to sleep, lay down, turn on music, be on my phone, talk to other people, laugh out loud, drink water, coming out of the shower (with clothes on but hair damp), running, excersizing, breathing heavily, taking photos, taking selfies, taking videos of stuff, read, watch videos, go on social media, walking in front of them,with my makeup, dressed up, doing sports etc.. because of this embarassment i never did extracurricular activities, play sports, invite friends, go to prom, get a job near my parents, i cant be myself at home.. when i live away im a total different person and i come home and it takes time for me to adjust again.. i worked out so hard and lost so much weight and abs for the past 6 months but i came home for winter break and i gained all my weight abck because i was too embarassed to go workout and walk because i did not want them to see the "new" me and they kept telling me i lost so much weight.. my parents think im a nerd who has no sense of style or social skills.. its true i lack social skills.. but.. i think i dress really nice and i spend 2 hours in the morning because i am very self conscious about how i look.. so when i come home i never want to go out because when i go out i hasve to look nice, but im embarassed to put on full face makeup, do my hair, dress nicely.. i always wear hoodies or sweatshirts and leggings and sneakers.. i saved so much money to buy luxurious clothing and i feel embarassed to be wearing like a homeless.. (sorry i know this sound really spoiled, but i did buy with my own money) i grew up in the countryside so i knew nothing about fashion, makeup, brands, beauty standards.. and i go to a private university in nyc and everyone there wear really good, expensive clothes and everyone is so pretty and skinny so i became interested and it is fun to see myself change and look nicer than how i was before.. some people cant even recognize me.. people will tell my parents about me and my parents tell me that they say completely different things about me from what they think im really like.. im worried that one day they might see my social media or my photos or secretly come see me and see the real me.. why am i so emabrassed?? does anyone also go through the same thing? one time they were going to visit me and i wanted to see them but i told them no because i dyed my hair and people from college will be around and might see me and i did not want to wear full face makeup in front of my parents and definately not my hair dyed.. i felt so bad.. and i was so sad.. why do i have to live like this? my parents dont abuse me... we have a very good friend like relationship.. i know it may sound like something is wrong but they are very over protective and cares for me a lot and treats me like a little kid.. i would wait past 2am to finally shower because the bathroom is near my parents room and they might see me come out and i want to do face masks and other things.. but i end up not sometimes because of this nervousness

You go to another country to visit relatives. And you stay at your relatives' family-in-law's house. You're not related to these people whatsoever, and they don't speak the same language as you. Would you be comfortable staying at their house?

Gary here! We are planning our vacation already because the houses to rent for the week are already getting booked. We are debating between Nags Head, Corolla. Duck, or Avon. Those are in the Outer Banks. We are most likely going to Nags Head again, but the house we stayed in last time is booked for the week we want to to, so it will be a different house. Nags Head is nice because it is so close to food, and a really good ice cream store

my brother who is 23 will cuddle on the couch with his girlfriend on my parents couch. they don't have their own. my parents always stay downstairs watching them

My life isn't going in the direction I want it to go. I'm 21 years old, a two timing college drop out, I'm maxed out on my credit card, I have student loans, and I also have bills that I can't pay because I got my hours cut and I'm about to get laid off from my job next week. I feel as if my friends and family don't want anything to do with me. They keep telling me that they love me and care for me but their body language always say that their annoyed or embarrassed of me. Whenever I confront anyone about it they just lie and make excuses. The only reason why I haven't got up and left yet is because I am in a lease that ends until July of this year, and because I never would like to hurt my mother feelings like that... I've been feeling like running away and never coming back since I was 18 years old and now I'm about to do it. So the question is basically can anyone give me some logic to why this is a dumb idea because I honestly don't feel as if I'm in my right state of mind.

One of my friends who still lives with his mom he's 30.. he said his parents leave The house and go out somewhere if he is having a girl over so they can have privacy. With my parents I normally have to go in the game room to get privacy but they wouldn't leave the house. What privacy do you all get if you're still living at home? Do your parents stay in the house or leave when you have guests over ?

I am taken care of by my mother and my stepfather. I don't smoke, I don't drink and my grades are pretty average. I plan on going to a community college to help my gpa because I do have a past of skipping, but that was a while ago and I have matured and changed. In all, I just want opinions from others, bc I know I am a teenager and my mindset and the way I look at things may be different. I admit sometimes they may give me freedom, for example they let me go out on the weekends after work, and my shift ends at 10, so my curfew is 11:30pm. I usually work everyday on the weekends, but if I didn't my curfew is earlier which would vary to be from 6pm-9pm. If I am out he is usually calling me and if I go to a location (leaving a friends house to go to McDonald's etc.) I didn't tell him he freaks out and calls me and gets mad at me. But I cannot ever go out on weekdays because it's a school night. About a year ago my stepdad told me to install a tracking app on my phone for me and my mom. He says it's so he knows where we are but if I turn it off cause sometimes feel controlled, I uninstall the app and he calls me and warns me if I don't install it back I will get my phone taken from me. I have asked several times if I could buy my own phone with the money I have saved up, but he won't let me. I barely go out now bc I'm just tired of hearing him and it's only my stepdad usually, not my mom.

I have been dealing with my grandmother all my life & i've had a job for a year now. I have been ordering stuff online for myself & when she found out she got on facebook. Every week when she's off she will go on her phone & ask me to order stuff for her with MY debit card instead of using her own. She has asked me twice. When she decides to come where I work she brings all of her sisters & takes advantage of my employee discount and if i"m the one that has to sign the reciept they make me pay for the food at my place of work every time. I got off of work earlier tonight & she got me a new pair of shoes and slacks for work. I never asked her to buy me that stuff & she kept telling me it was $55 so I thought "okay she's being annoying that's enough" & she was yelling at me to hurry up & try the stuff on & when I did she told me I have to pay her $55. She didn't laugh about it so I knew it wasn't a joke she wants $50 from me for **** I didn't ask for! Since when have I asked her to pay me for the stuff she asks me to order or the food she asks me to buy? I am really tired of her being so selfish. Ever since I got this job she has been taking advantage of using my money instead of using her own. On top of that she never helps me with chores. She will purposely let my family stack dishes without washing them & leave me to all the laundry. How can I make this stop? She is really getting on my last nerve..I want to move but don't have a car..

If the babys father is who she says it is what is there to be worried about? But feminist fight tooth an nail to have no paternity testing at birth. There have been new home DNA test where fathers can just swab their check, and the cheek of the alleged child and send it in for testing. 30percent of the test comeback and say the child is not related to the alleged father women love avoiding questions like this. Not a single woman has answered the question

they'll say anything just to control me i have no job i've applied to 5 jobs no interview, whats the use of trying again if no one wants to hire you right? My family "mom" "brother" and "dad" treat me like **** but stockholm comes in..i still love them but i'm stuck in h3ll.

She sometimes hits me but that s a form of punishment and she says that I always have an attitude whenever I m being nice and she calls me a lot of names such as "retard, ****, ***** and fat" she always brings me down and she doesn t talk to me anymore. She told a lot of people that I was pregnant when she knew that I was really sick and I ve lost a lot of friends bc of it and most family members don t talk to me anymore. She tears apart my room whenever I leave so I stopped cleaning it. I only eat a meal a day now but she still says that I overeat and should eat less but I don t that it s healthy. Also she hit me earlier and I tried to block it but she started yelling saying that I hit her when all I did was block her hit and she told my dad that and he wouldn t listen to me because she said I was lying. I m 16 and I ve been thinking about moving in with my boyfriend and his family even though I know it isn t a very good idea because if we breakup I would have nowhere to go but I have a backup in case that were to happen. Anyway idk if this is wrong or not :/

He's not yet diagnosed with autism. But his anger is terrible, I get smacked and hit by him. (He's 3) His strength is incredible, my life has been taken over by him, I'm a 16 year old female if that matters. My mom has become angry because of him, she yells a lot. Her normal voice has even gotten louder and more aggressive. I want my mom back, I want my life back. I get up in the morning and I think "Why even leave this bed? When I walk downstairs, it's the same" My moms yelling at him over something, he torments me. Then I'm angry, and I get yelled at for the little things. I don't wanna give into him, my mom gives into him. She would let him do anything to keep him quiet. Everything he touches he ruins, everything I have is going to be ruined. I feel so alone, nobody stops to think about how I'm feeling. Nobody thinks how I'm feeling. They Just care about him being content, and not screaming his head off at everything. I wish somebody would stop to think about me Just once, I'm sad almost everyday. If not everyday, it wasn't this way before he came along. I was so happy, full of Joy. I enjoyed the simple things in life. Now everything Just seems, tainted. I'm not happy, I want my mom back. I want my life back, I want to be happy. I'm at my wits end and I have NO idea what to do. Any tips? Advice? Help? I'm cyberschooled, I can't talk to anyone

My sister, 7, and I, 17, are home alone every day. My younger brother is always at football practice and my parents are at work so there's no one to be with my sister. My sister usually watches TV in the living room and I have to stay with her and do my homework in the dining room (attached to the living room) or in the living room itself. But I can't focus. The sounds of the TV make it difficult to study and sometimes I end up watching with her. What do I do? I can't leave her alone but I also need to do homework. I tried giving her my phone but she still wants the TV on even when playing games on my phone. Please help. This is affecting my grades.
