I messaged a celebrity band member with around 100k followers on instagram that im his fan and love his band's music and stuff and he actually replied with "thank you!" and then I asked him what its like to be famous and he didn't answer and it just said seen so I messaged some more and they all say seen and I message every day "Hi" and try to start a conversation but he keeps ignoring me. would he block me? he's a celebrity so idk if he actually would block a normal person

Kids text adults "I want this new phone for Christmas" "I want Ipod" and other electronic items. His mom started out giving a new Iphone to his nephew and other nephew learns that demanding stuffs works so wonder. Now if the kids want something, they send out text messages to all adults "I want this" "I want that" and their parents let them do it.

I have Ben staying with my aunt Monday through Friday to cut down on my commute. I have a an apartment but it is far away from my job which is y I stay with her on the weekdays and go to my apartments on the weekend . When I first started staying with her she asked me for 50  dollars then again today she asked me for another 50. I know by staying with her I take advantage of the utilities and cable but I feel like it is a bit much . Plus I feel my aunt may be on drugs. I know she smokes Mary Jane but every time I get home from work some times as late as 630m she is never home and always at the neighbors. The neighbor is a woman so it is not like she has a romantic interest in her. Plus she stays in bed all day. She does have heath problems though. I also notice she does not buy slot of grocery. When you open the fridge it is not a whole it in it.

my brother tried to have sex with me i don't know what to do or who to tell i'm scared and everybody here is just calling me a troll when i'm legitimately afraid my brother and i haven't spoken about the situation but he and i had both been smoking when it happened and now i'm just not sure who i can be around anymore i don't know how to tell my family  thank you to the two people who've answered thoroughly i'm 15 and this is really hard to me but thank you 

For the past two and a half decades since I was born, my life has been a living hell. Most of that suffering is because of my father, a man and I use that word loosely, who is so excessively authoritarian  that he is ultimately abusive. He is always making rules that  are truly unjust and obsessively enforces them at all times, even when he would a better person if he didn't. Everything seems to set him off and leaves me getting browbeaten by him. I feel my only shot at any true happiness requires me to be rid of him and his cruelty.  Since  I have nowhere else to go, I believe the best way to achieve this goal  is weaponize his own abusive temper against him. How do I set him off in public without actually being directly involved or around? I ask because if he explodes in public and treats any random person the way he always treats me, he would be arrested?

Since I was probably 6, when people started asking the "what do you want to be when you grow up" question, my mom would always put negative thoughts in my head. I wanted to be a writer, she told me I was bad at writing and that I should think of something else. I wanted to be dancer, she told me I'm terrible at dancing, yet she never signed me up for dance class. This repeated up to high school and it really effected my self-esteem. Being told you're not good enough repeatedly, I started to believe it. I eventually took on the dumb role at school and I stopped trying. Then when I stopped trying she would berate me in front of friends and family members. I sometimes think she gets a kick out of putting me down. I wanted to go leave state and move with a friend for college, just when I was about to leave she gets into a car crash and I stayed back to help her out. She's better now, but even now being 23 in the work field every job I take I hear  "you're not going to be abled to work there" "you'll never last" "that's too advance for you." This has been going on practically my entire life, what's her problem? And how do I deal with it once and for all?

She ignores them but she always hangs out with me. I only send her memes once a week. I've told her about it but she makes excuses that she never recieved them. One time I messaged when we were hanging out and I saw my notification. What can be the reason?

I have this "nephew" who is 17, about to be 18 and he's the absolute hardest person I've ever had to shop for. Even as a young child he didn't ask for much. I bought him an iPad about 5 years ago and he liked that. Last year I bought him a mophie case for this phone. Gift Cards - he doesn't use them. He doesn't go to the movies or do anything fun. He just earned his eagle scout in boy scouts and he camps year round with them. I was putting money in his camping account but since he's an eagle scout and almost done with scouts, I can't put more in his account. He did use some cabela's gift cards I got him for camping gear but said he doesn't need any more. This is my sister in law's nephew but her and my brother have raised him since he was 5 (his mom/her sister died from cancer) and I asked them and they said "we are in the same boat, he is horrible to shop for". Cash - he's got like the first dollar he ever made. He's not a spender, give or take he's usually got about $700 in his room. He works part time and saves it all, plus they receive social security for him from his mom dying and all of that is in the bank too.   He's got thousands of dollars in the bank. Literally all I have for him is a Michigan State University tumbler and the rest of my nieces/nephews (there's 5 total) I've spent about $200 on each. I spent $23 on the tumbler. He's high functioning Asperger's, it's more so that selecting what he wants and shopping overwhelms him.

We've been together for 7 years and we were both 25 and just last week I was at her house sleeping over and she was in the bathroom while I was in bed on my phone and I saw her phone vibrate so I looked at it and I saw a text from some guy saying "Good night love you" so when she got out of the bathroom I asked her about it and she said it's just a friend and then i asked to see all the texts and she refused and we argued about it then she said fine and showed me and she was talking to this guy and coming over to his house and having sex and everything and he thought he was her only boyfriend like i thought i was her only boyfriend. Then she just broke up with me and told me she prefers the other guy. I thought she loved me and i'm heartbroken

I am a high school guy with a stepmother that is just 7 years older than I am. My dad remarried a much younger woman. She is the greatest mom any guy can have and I adore her. She is also gorgeous. She has a figure to die for. My guess is she is a 36G. In the morning she likes to run around the house with a loose fitting robe on. Those 36Gs are there for me to see. I am afraid I am going to see her one morning and get a b0ner. Would that be totally wrong? It would embarrass me to no end. Is that a normal reaction for a teenager? Guys, any tips on how I keep from getting a b0ner in a situation like this would be greatly appreciated?

Long story short my mom has been drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes since and before I was born. I don't know when she became an alcoholic but I started to notice it by time I was like 8 years old. I'm the only child and my parents separated. Most of the time my mom would be knocked out sleep or drinking. Family functions - she would be drunk on the floor laying in her piss. This creates trouble for me in my high school years. We was always getting evicted. My dad would spoil me and buy me whatever I wanted when I went to see him. My mom would destroy those things. She would lock me out the house. Try to hit me and pull my hair. She never gave me any money or gifts. Didn't cook dinner often. Didn't buy me pads. Didn't raise me, I raised myself. At age 16 I left my moms house after a fight and stayed with my father. Progressed since. My question is after everything I've went through with my mom, should I forgive her? I blindly continue our relationship now since she's gotten "help". She likes to take a lot of credit for making me who I am today but she's don't nothing for me feels like. She wants the best gifts for her birthday and Christmas but I'm sure there were years that she gave me none. I call and talk to her all the time, sometimes I think, should I? I believe she's even drank and smoked while she was pregnant with me. I feel like she didn't do good raising me and I wasn't given proper nutrition as a child. It's a lot to think about. Any advice?

One is my Dad. He is known for frequently lying to people. I have written about him before. This winter he got me really excited about a trip and it turns out it was a lie. Maybe plans changed but he is still going, he took no honesty in a promise he made last summer. The other is my sister. My sister has a long history of being cruel to me. I have not written about her on here before but I will spare you the story. She is always on my shi.t-list. So how do I treat these people so I feel I get justice without making myself look bad or have poor morals. Both are bad people right now and my sister is always a bad person. My Dad is good except his addictive lying.

As an early 90's baby (93) I remember my mom and dad beating me up when I did wrong, however my 5 year younger sister never experienced that. Noticed that it wasnt just her, but maany other kids her age aswell.

So My sister in-law borrowed about 700 dollars on 31st oct and told me to keep it a secret from my brother and also told me not to worry and that she'll return asap but I ran out of pocket money, (I'm a sophomore btw) and asked for it on 9th nov. she said she'll transfer but she didn't. I've been asking for a month now. Whenever I asked for my money, she always said she'll transfer today but she didn't. Can't ask my parents since that's my pocket money for the sem. What should I do? I'm stressed and mad at her 

I'm 20 years old and my whole life my mom has kept me extremely sheltered and confined to the house under constant watch. I've never (in my entire life) hung out with a friend or been anywhere without her right next to me. Because of this, I have became extremely timid and awkward in social settings. Every time I allude to the idea of taking control of my life or even something so innocent as getting my first job, my mom threatens to cut me off from her support and to put me out of her home. I have no one else that I could live with and she knows this. I'm starting to become so mentally damaged and I feel there's no way out. What should I do?

I'm deeply hurt it's not conducive for me to have contact or see the dad we only have one son idk how to co parent I block the dads number he texts I don't txt back my mom said she can be an open line of communication and relay info I'm being emotionally abused  by the dad when is that healthy I need legit answers and advice

My girlfriend told me she has to go with her dad and her older brother to take turns driving to rochester NY which is 5 and half hours away to pick up her brother. However im worried because of the weather conditions...She is not changing her mind. I overheard them speaking about having him take the train or bus instead rather than them driving 5 and half hours to go but he doesn't want to. Im concerned for her driving in this weather but it doesnt change anything.

My mother and I are best friends, don't get me wrong at all. I love her dearly and appreciate the everything she and my father have done for me. Her mother was a care-free mom. She grew up in the 70s and 80s, which makes sense, especially in a small town. Her mother cared for her and her siblings, but was a typical care-free mom. Her siblings carried on the tradition with their own children. Even her mother-in-law was this way, but with stricter morales. I'm in my twenties, living on my own, but she always has to know where I am at all points. She has been a very caring parent, and gave her children what they basically wanted, but also is controlling (hence helicopter mommy). I am unsure of how she grew up maybe feeling like her mom never paid much attention to her growing up if that had an influence on how she parented her own two children. Not trying to compare against her siblings, but her siblings let their children explore life on their own. She has been in our every move of life. I will tell her if I am seeing someone and she will google, or do background checks for instance. I really am unsure what sculpted her to be this kind of mother. Any thoughts? 

There is this drummer from my favorite band who is in his 20s and im 17 but I have a huge crush on him and have photos of him all over my walls and all over my room and im obsessed with him and I dm him every day on all my accounts to try to get him to answer but it never say seen

im a 15 year old girl and my history teacher who is in his 30s and has glasses has since the beginning of the year shown obvious attraction to me by calling me pretty and asking for my contact info and last week admitted to having a crush on me and has tried to friend me on snapchat and instagram several times and even follows me in the hallway at school. today he came up to me and said sorry and he won t do it anymore and to please not tell anyone. this may sound extreme but its 100% true and im stressed and scared about it, this is a serious question so please don t answer if you think im making this up or joking.

She's 29 im 22 she is constantly putting me down to build herself up and she has to always be right. She bullies me. She treats me like trash. She has bipolar 2 disorder and she claims she was diagnosed as a psychopath so she lacks empathy and she's literally just sucking the life and money out of me when she can. I don't have the money to move right now and we share an apartment. And we work together but we do different jobs where we work. She always undermines my work like im worthless or it's not important. I tried talking to her about it she just flips situation like im the bad guy. And it's annoying cause everyone thinks she's so charming and lovely. HELP Please she's driving me insane. And no im not trolling. Being around her makes me wanna pull my hair out.which I started doing Any ideas that are legal?!!!

Basically, I was supposed to be graduating college this semester, but I failed a class and will have to go for one more semester. My gf and I were planning on taking a trip for new years to visit her sister to celebrate my graduation. While my parents have been understanding and supportive, they were obviously disappointed that I didn't pass. I'm a little worried about still going on the trip. My dad was already not thrilled about it when I brought it up months ago. He thought I should be focused on finding a job right away even though he made comments previously that doing something for graduation would be nice (definitely sending me mixed signals). I know he probably won't be happy if I still go. While I understand he wants me focused on school, my gf's sister has already taken the time off and we were both really excited about getting to spend new years together since we haven't been able to in the 2 1/2 years we've been together. It's also during winter break so school isn't a problem right now. As an adult, I could easily just go and I know he won't stop me because he knows I'm adult. I just don't want to deal with the drama if he gets angry about it. I care a little too much about his opinion. If this were you, what would you do?

So I'm in college and my parents are helping me pay tuition and living expenses. I  signed for an apartment next year and told my parents it was $725 when it's really $750. They had set a budget of $700 and I felt like I was asking too much already by saying $726. At the time I was scared my friends wouldn't want to live with me anymore, or that we wouldn't be able to find an apartment because they fill up really fast and we were already signing really late. I feel so horrible for lying, and I'm terrified I won't be able to keep it a secret. My plan is to get a job next semester (I had one earlier this semester but had to leave it for personal reasons) or over the summer so I can hopefully pay the difference before they notice, but if they catch on I know my dad in particular is going to be upset with me. I feel extremely guilty. Is it as big of a deal as it feels? What do I do? Should I just try to pay the difference and keep quiet until someone notices? Honestly maybe they never will.

How does one go about making them a vulnable adult so they can get help for their family member.  Has anyone done this before?  Is it possible

Cousin

Her care provider gets paid to do things that I do too. Except I don't get paid. I just don't understand why she doesn't just hire me as her care provider too. I could easily become a Care Provider through in home supportive services to help her. It doesn't seem fair. The worst part is she still asks me for help too. Like taking her to the store or doing things that her care provider would usually be doing. I told her I can't help her all of the time because I Have to work and provide for myself too. I told her to let me be her care provider so that I can get paid too so I don't have to go to work elsehwhere. I could help her from home. She told me she doesn't know if I'm really up to it because she told me she doesn't like how I act. She tries to tell me I can't play games (even if on my leisure time AND I pay half the electricity bills). She tells me if can't do anything without her knowing. I told her I can't do that because it doesn't seem fair. My leisure time is my own time. She gives her care providers lunch breaks and everything and submits to their requests but when it comes to me to have some time off she says I'm a bad person or worse a horrible son for not taking care of her 24/7.. I want to share my life with her but she doesn't let me be who I want to be. I have passion in gaming and I have introduced her to my friends and she calls all of them names behind their backs.. Sorry I'm kind of getting off track here. I don't hate her care provider either. She is just doing her job. I'm just having a hard time because I want my mom's approval and attention. How can I tell her how I feel? Sorry I forgot to mention she had a stroke in Sept of 2014 and has weakness and numbness on the left side of her body. She is enrolled as a recipient through in home supportive services.

I hate him so bad right now. I have never hated like this before. He disappoints me over and over and over and shame on me for falling for it. Even worse I have to see this ****** on Christmas cause the whole family will be there.  If there is a hell and anyone goes there then he will be first in line. 

I hate all kinds of gatherings. They're all terrible, but family meetings are always extra awkward.

I was. I was molested by my moms boyfriend and 2 of his friends. I was also raped by him at and his friends on a weekly basis starting at 9. They only found out and it stopped because videos and pics of me surfaced in a child photography ring.  I am now 26. I am dating this guy I really like. He told me he loved me and talked about getting married and having kids. I haven't told him about my childhood.  I am scared if he finds out he will be irked by it and he will go away.  So, if your gf/bf told you this would you leave them?
