my little brother is 10, today he fell off of the monkey bars he called me and he was limping badly so I told him to get onto my back. Does anybody else carry your little brother on your backs when he's hurt? oh and just saying he is okay now :) ;)

We have all been tested 3 times from 2 different places so we know its correct. And I was a home birth so no way I was adopted or switched at birth. (Mom made me watch the video.....)

Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl. My mom and I have had a pretty bad relationship ever since I was 9 or 10. She is extremely irrational and likes to throw tantrums in public, and most of the time I feel like I'm her parent instead of the other way around. Despite me helping her with a lot of things that I shouldn't have to (writing her resume, filling out job applications for her), she is always calling me worthless and things like that. If she gets mad enough, she will slap me, but previously it was never very hard... More just to get me to shut up. But recently, this has been getting worse. A few months back she slapped me in the head and I kept blocking her hands so she got mad and hit me a few more times. She's not very strong, but it still hurt for quite a while afterwards. I ignored this, because as far as I could tell there was no real damage. A few days ago, she got mad again and happened to be getting ready to go somewhere so she kept throwing things at me and eventually hit me several times with a shoe. This left a small, bleeding cut on my leg and a pretty large bruise on my wrist. It scares me because this is the first time she's left a mark that actually lasted a while. It's been about 4 days and I can still see both the cut and the bruise, a new bruise has actually formed around the cut and my wrist still hurts. Do you think she'll do this again? And what can I do? I know this isn't that bad but I need some advice.

okay so basically, im 14. im a girl. im a teenager. i m always lazy and tired but despite that i always try to be really activr, for at least 2 hours a day. whether its swimming, running, or martial arts. so basically my mom thinks all i should do besides excersizing is constantly studying. im taking an online course over the summer and she expects me to finish it in a couple of days when its supposed to take less than a year. wtf? and when i come down for a break she screams and tells me to go back upstairs. also, since i study late, like maybe even until one or two oclock, i wake up at 1 in the afternoon, AT THE LATEST, no later than that because im tired the whole day.she gets so mad when i wake up late, so i ask her to wake me up whenever she wakes up and she acts like a ******* mental case. she s like, no, wake up yourself. and the only alarm clock i have is on my phone which she took away from me. how the **** is someone supposed to wake themselves up? thats not possible! so do you have any opinions or advice about this? and this isnt all of it.

So um I m a 15 year old kid. My name is Charlie. So this past year I have been very sad and a little irritable and I feel this sadness pushing against me that seems relentless. I live with my step mom and dad. My dad is kind of harsh I guess and my step mom.... Yeah. They had a child together my little sister. Ever since she was born I get treated bad. They always favored my little sister. They would take her places and do things with her. Its literally got to a point that when we are eating dinner my step mom would tell me to leave the table while they ate so they could talk to my little sister about her day. Everyday without fail I get called rag ***** **** bastard ect by my patents. Idk I have felt like hurting myself lately and I have self harmed. Now days I stay in my room and cry all the time. There is more to my story than that but that s a just of it. So basically I m sad all the time and I self harm. Am I depressed?

For one thing, I've never been incredibly close to my mom's family (and in recent years my dad's family has kind of tuned me out) but I was making decent strides from 2011-2013, I opened my mouth to try and relate to my aunt something when she shared with me something personal, she didn't agree because she dislikes my dad and for the last year and a half we've pretty much got separate ways. I always partially thought it was her first grandson that got us closer but once the novelty wore off (or my big mouth), we just never clicked anymore. I do still love my nephews and I'm not on bad terms with anyone - I'm only somewhat close to one of my cousin's girlfriends - but I don't drink or have kids and yet I only seem to get invited to things concerning birthdays. Am I being used? Because I'm beginning to think I should shake off the compulsion to buy them something and go; they haven't attended any kind of party or anything for me in 4 years. And, oh yeah, no one bought a gift.

I mean Ms.Jenner is currently undergoing her physical transition to Female sex and while she is pre-op prefers to be called by her name Caitlyn. Sometimes I wish that the American public and abroad should take time to remember the tragedies such as the Native American Genocide, Nazi German Holocaust and recall the value of Human life. We have to remember what it means to show a Human face to our neighbors, whether or not they come from where we come from.

So, my entire life, my stepmother has treated me like ****. She's been in my life for the last 20 years. It got worse when her daughter died (about 11 years ago) and has steadily gotten a little worse every year since. Growing up, she ragged on my mom in front of me purposefully as much as possible. She'd tell me how much I look like my mother and when I'd say thanks, her response was always "*snort* that's NOT a compliment." She put her kids on pedestals and would give things to me just to throw them away in front of me. Once she took me clothes shopping, I thought we would bond. Wrong. She spent the whole time telling 12 year old me how fat I was, and gasping over sizes I picked up. She is vicious to me, in front of my entire family, and nobody says anything to her about it. I don't visit any of them anymore. My dad has never stood up for me, he has a backbone of jello, if that. Maybe warm water. The problem is, I have to go to a family event without my longtime boyfriend- the mediator of the situation. He doesn't let her run her mouth to me, and grew up in a similar situation so he handles it while I just shut down. What do I do when she starts her inevitably shitty treatment of me? I don't want to ruin the family gathering, but I don't deserve this **** anymore. I'm the only one she treats like this. Short of standing up and screaming at her to go **** herself, I have nothing. Sitting in silence while she does it is absolute torture. Thanks in advance. My little brother occasionally sticks up for me- he was just about one when my dad started dating his mom, but it doesn't extend much past, "Wow, mom, that was really mean." She just shrugs at him and keeps going. I think the rest of the family is too scared she'll start on them to say anything. I'm in my mid-20's now, so I can thankfully distance myself from her (or just leave) but she's always going to be at family gatherings and that boyfriend of mine isn't always busy to play white knight.

My moms best friends husband acts nervous around me. He's always been like an uncle to me, however for this last year he's been acting a bit differently. I used to catch him staring at me all the time and now I'm living with them because my mom is in the military, so I needed a place to stay. Anyway, I notice everytime I hang out with him and the kiddos eating dinner and watching movies, he'll walk to his room after while. Usually I'm the one who hides out in my room and they always complain about that, however, he'll stay out in the living room the entire time when I'm not out there. He does it a lot especially when were home alone, I'll stay in my room and he'll be in his room with the door open. As soon as he hears me doing chores in the kitchen, I notice he always closes his door. I'm freaking out, like, what did I do? I'm very confused and its starting to get to me. I know he doesn't hate me. But what should I do? He and my god-mom always say they want a relationship with me but he always seems to run the other way?. 😓😳😭🙈😞

Hi everyone, I'm an 18 year old girl who's a freshman at college. But the problem is that my dad doesn't allow me anything. I had to go to the nearest college, because I'm not allowed to live in a dorm. Due to this, I have to travel two hours every day by public transport. But what hurts me the most, is that I can't joy any club at my college and I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend. Neither am I allowed to have friends over the house. Occasionally I can go to the mall with my friends. I'm sad because I feel quite lonely. All I can do is go to class and (when I'm lucky) go to the library. My parents also check my phone history and hack my facebook, so I can't make any sneaky plans haha. I'm sure I'm exaggerating, but is this normal?

I live in Chicago and my parents want to send me to a residential program for pregnant teens in Montana. The thing is the father and i are together and his family wants me to stay with them. That is what i want but my parents want me out and don t want me with him. I know that they are incharge until i am 18 but the program goes atleast until the baby is 3 months and the father and his family want to be in the babys life and that is what i want. Is there anything i can do legally to not go to this program. I have a ton of support of the fathers side of the family.

My resentment towards him actually started last week.I love my dad but i don't like the things he do towards the people i love..I personally think he treats my mom like **** he first abuse her or anything but he send inspectorunappreciative of her my mom works at a factory 8 hours a day standing while she has. chronic arthritis in her knee avid when she comes home screaming in pain i try to help her while my dad sit their. And even she ask home till massage her knee or get her some water he complains and says he's tired of getting up. He also doesn't have a job so muy mom pays for everythibg and that's all her do isv sit down avid watch t.v ( doesn't have a job because of back problems i consider this a excuse of his laziness avid he doesnt want to pay child support for my half sister) I also have resentment because of the ways he treats my half sister me and her don't get along ( have different moms) but he's present in my life but not hers and it make me feels guilty because i know she wants s dad avid he treats her like a stranger avid devoid her as much as possible. My dad also doesn't protect my. i his family to attack us

My nephew (sister's son) recently told the family he is going against the word of God and has chose to be left handed. Our family is very religious and I won't stand by and tolerate abomination.. how do I make my sister disown him from the family? Should I threat to stop speaking to her if she doesn't?

I try to stray away from drama and I try to live a peaceful life but as I've gotten older I'm realizing I can't be cool with most of my family. How can I tell them I don't want anything to do with them? I feel bad for doing this but I have priorities and dreams that need to be taken care off without toxic family members holding me down. taken care of* Sorry

my parents are going through a divorce right now and it s been really hard on me. my dad gets three weekends a month and every wednesday to see us, and my mom gets one weekend and all the other days of the week with us. but recently my mom has dropped it down to just wednesday, friday night and saturday to spend with my dad because according to her lawyer, if she lets me and my siblings stay the night with my dad on sunday then it would take away from the money my dad pays her every two weeks. this coming weekend is my mom s, and today i asked if, since we have nothing to do today and we won t see dad till next wednesday , i could go over to my dad s and hang with him. she got mad and called my dad and now theyre currently screaming at each other and my dad is coming to get me. was it wrong to ask if i could see him? sorry this was so long but thanks for the help.

Am I unreasonable or reasonable to ask my mom to walk four houses down to be picked up so I can avoid an abusive sister and toxic situation?

I'm 20 And my cousin is 16 and everyone likes her better than me. She is always in a bad mood and nags at me about the stupidest little things and she treats people like crap. She has no manners what so ever. Whenever she's in a good mood I try to talk to her and she still ignores me half of the time. If she doesn't get her way like if I can't take her to the mall or if I go without asking her (doesn't have a car yet) she throws a fit about it to her mom. But everyone still loves her. She's smarter than me and family always brags about it at events and how she's going to medical school and how good at sports she is. She also has way more friends than me. People just think she's just better at everything than me. I try my hardest at everything and always try to be nice to everyone and no one seems to even care. It just hurts my feelings a lot and I don't know what to do about it. Help!

Hello! This is my first time writing about this and my english is maybe not that strong. I live with my step mom, my dad and my stepbrother who is the same age as me. First of all i want to say that i have one real brother and one real sister who has no contact with my dad thanks to my stepmom.. My stepmom and i got along very well when i was litte, but now a days she picks on me all the time. She complains on everything i do and says things like go to hell and shut up when my dad isnt around. And when my dad comes home she is either very nice and sweet, or being pissed off me everytime i talk to my dad. Its like she doesnt want my dad to help me because everytime he s trying to say something helpfull to me she says - stop it she can do it herself, she isnt dumb! My real mom died when i was little so i dont have a mom. I m 17 years old and i want help to stop fighting with my stepmom all the time.. It feels like i dont want to come home sometimes because im scared she s going to be mad at me when i step in to the house. On top of that she loves her real son so much and brags about him 24/7, she does everything for him,( clean his room, clean his clothes, pick him up from friends, let him go everywhere etc.) and when i asked her why i m doing allt this with no help when she is doing it for her son she answered: because you re a girl and you should be abel to do more and not be out late etc ). Please help me, i just want to come home and be happy in my own house.

I m about to leave for school, and my sister will be living at home with our parents by herself. A few years ago, my mother was living with her parents while they were sick. She stayed with them for over a year. During that time my father had an affair with a woman at work, and he fathered another child. My mom didn t come home to live with us until 5 years later. But while my mother was away my father kept having an affair with that woman. My mom still thinks that he is having an affair with the other woman. My little half brother lives with us, and my mother has to take care of him. I know that she has every right to be angry but my mom threatens us that she will tell my little brother about how awful his parents are and that his mother is a home wrecker. I am also afraid that when I leave she will neglect him. My mom talks to me and my sister about our parents marital issues. She will tell us how terrible our father is and to basically excommunicate him from the family. She thinks that we re too much like our dad. I tell my parents that they need help and that their issues are not something they should talk to their children about. They won t listen to me. I am growing increasingly worried because a while ago my sister came to me and told me that she is starting to have suicidal thoughts but I don t think that she will actually do anything. I want my sister to come live with me, but she can t right now.

I've always been afraid to ask questions on Yahoo Answers. But I really need help. You see, I have really bad social anxiety and I really want to move out of my parents house. My mom found herself a boyfriend when I was 13. I'm 18 now. Problem is, He's extremely controlling and emotionally abusive. I suspect he's physically abused my mom in the past due to the fact that I've witnessed it with my own eyes once or twice. The other day, He was driving drunk and threatened to smash my mom's head against the window as he raised his arm at her. My mom once a few years ago came home with a black eye and gave me a vague answer when I asked about it. But lately he's been really controlling. He threatened the day before that he'd smash my computer for blocking the site he goes to since it gives viruses ( repelis.tv ). I don't really care if he breaks it though. I'm more worried about the impact he's had. When drunk, He physically abuses my dog and sometimes my mom. He tells me I'm useless when I clean the house. I'm terrified of both telling them I want to move out and of my mom's boyfriend. I've never run away or anything like that and I'm still in school. When my mom kicks him out he's like a nightmare that always comes back. Even though I tell her I don't like him, She never takes me seriously. Yesterday I locked myself in my bathroom and had a nervous breakdown while no one was home. Today the same thing happened; He forced me to eat too much and I nearly vomited. What should I do?

I am fine with them moving out, but I don't want to live with my mom alone, or hurt her feelings, however things are kind of awkward between my mom and I also want to live with them, how old do I have to be to live with them, one is 23 right now and the other is 17

Last year my wife's son (my step son) went off to college for his freshman year. I bought his laptop and paid around $350 for it. It was a basic Asus laptop. No big frills or anything like that on it. Subsequently, he failed out of school due to him not studying or going to class. Well, my daughter leaves this year for her freshman year and I've been looking at laptops for her. I saw a descent one at Walmart for $369 and it's a touch screen laptop. My wife doesn't want me to get her that one because, as she says, it's more better than the one her son got. Laptops change from year to year and what was an upgrade in one year may be a standard option the next. I guess I'm glad I didn't put a lot into his laptop then considering it's just sitting at our house now collecting dust. No, I'm not giving my daughter his old one cause I want her to have her own laptop not someone's used one. How do I get my wife to understand that I'm not trying to get my daughter anything better. There's just a difference between 2014 and 2015 models.

They are very rude, they hit me and judge my friends. Even when I am in the toilet my mom enters without knocking the door and she throws my clothes that she doesn't like. She even enters the bathroom when I take a shower without even asking I am 15. When will it stop and how? I am planning to move out by finding a job.

My brother got grounded and he is mad at me because he feels I should be in trouble too. But overall he is really disrespectful to both his dad and our mom. Whenever mom says something to him he goes to his room and ssays mean stuff about her. I can here it because his room is next to my room. And the walls are thin. When he says these things I get so angry and I want to hurt him badly. Sometimes I want to kill him. And I have never felt more hate towards someone other than him.

I've tried to talk to him about it. He just screams at me, and later throws it in my face that he buys me stuff. I Need to get out of here, but he's literally all I have. I got tooken away fromy my mom when I was 16, I have no close friends or family. My entire family is nothing but a bunch of psychotic druggies and I jjust want out. I want a betterlife & ffuture for myself but it's impossible when I have no where to turn, no family and being constantly manipulated . I'm also busting my *** trying to finish high school. Someone please tell me where to turn? I'm in Missouri by the way.

So i have kind of a confusing family but I'll do my best to explain it. I am 15 years old and I live with my mom during the week and I see my dad on Fridays. I have an 8 year old brother that also lives with my mom most days. He has a different dad who is an alcoholic. And on Sunday's he goes to my dads house with me because my dad was more of a dad to him than his ever was. My mom emotionally abuses and neglects us. She tells us how much she hates us. She refuses to spend time with us. She tells us that we're the worst kids ever, and she often calls us useless. I struggled with depression and cutting a lot about a year ago. And shed punish me whenever she saw any cuts on my legs. She'd do things like not talk to me for a couple days, take away any phone, TV privileges I had. And took me out of my after school activities. Every day after work she comes home, showers, gets ready and leaves to go to her boyfriends house. She told me that the only reason she doesn't give us away is because she needs the child support money. We have NO food here. Barely anything. And the little bit we do I had to buy. I work a part time job which is also pretty had because I have to basically raise my little brother and go to school. I really would love to live with my dad. He wants me. He has amazing food at his house. He's never said anything hurtful to me and he's just a great parent. But I don't know how to do it. AND my little brother wouldn't have anywhere to go and he'd be alone.

Now I wouldn't say I'm in the "worst" situation, but it has really changed my life by a lot. I used to live with my family, my Mom, Dad, Two sister's, and Oder brother. Evertything was great becasue all of us were happy, we also made others happy with our happiness. We cared for alot of people, but anyways my sister's were complete grown ups by now, and I was just eight years old when my Dad, my wjole live was taken from me. He was deported back to Jamaica, pretty much caught being a illegal immigrat and he was sent back 6 & a half years ago. He was my everything, I had good grades cause of him, I was respectful cause of him, I was in good shape for an eight year old, but that was because of him! After he was gone pretty much I gave up. Decided just to play video games till he stops me feom llaying, but that never happened. Instead Injust became grumpy, not too nice anymore and I eat, and sleep that's completely all i do. I don't care for school, I really don't, there gonna hold me back and I want them to untill my dad comes back, but I can see that wont happen. I just wanna go cause I can't do this by myself

"eating alone is bad and weird" *i try to eat with my family* "do this" "do that" "dont do this" "dont do that" *i try to reply to a text* "youre always on your phone, put it down" "thats rude" theres a reason i eat alone in my room

Its been my first full week with a family of 3 kids. Before i came i was told i would be working full time which i expected as 30-40 hours a week. I naively excepted. Now that im here it turns out mon-fri i work 7-7 sometimes more. Thats 12 hour days 55-60 hours a week making 450$. That means i make 2$ an our and 20$ a day. After the day i retire to my room when i can still hear the family and kids crying upstairs. The family has been extremely kind to me and i feel bad bailing on them. But the work load is WAY more than i expected. She is going to ask me to stay 3 months to replace me but i am really unhappy and just need to remove myself from this. I feel like im being taken advantage of. Any advice on what i can do and how to tell the mother im leaving? Please positive helpful responses!!!

i'm a 22 years old woman,as a child my father was not really nice to me,neither to my family, he provided shelter ,food ,and all the essential stuff,but he was so mean, he was yelling at my face /our faces the whole time for NOTHING, beating me sometimes(when i was younger) ,forcing me to do things i didn't want to do,i was so clever at school and i was a very sweet and kind girl ,i never understand why he had to act that way,i mean i was doing nothing wrong, i just can't stand him, i know i shouldn't feel this way but can't stop myself, i can't even bear being with him in the same room ,i can't even look at his face,i keep denying him as he's still screaming and yelling the whole time,i feel so bad, and keep crying because of all this non-sense.

I'm 20 and he's angry saying he smells smoke, I don't think he knows it weed how can I explain it

first off sorry for my English! so a couple Days ago my grandma had a surgery and she was really worried and my whole family was praying for her. when the surgery was done the doctors let my aunt and mom in and they said that she started to talk to herself but they didn't understand what she was saying cause she was having alot of things arond her mouth. later that day my aunt asked her what she was saying and she said that she saw jesus and that he was wearing a white coat and a brown belt and he had 2 guys with him and they were helping people around the hospital and she said that she screamed for him so he could help her and he came. i'm so confused and i can't stop thinking about it maybe it was just hallucinations?

It's about dad, I love him so much, he's 90 years old and I take care of him all the time, he's like a small baby, looking innocent and gentle. But, he's very severe and he drives me crazy, he's a bit selfish, I, from time to time, remember all what he did when I was young, only bad memories, but when I think again, I realize he was orphan since he's 11 yo and he had a lot of difficult times, so I have a pity and I change my mind, I get completely opposite feelings towards him and I don't know what is this exactly

So, I just got back from camping at a lake yesterday for a week. I swam every day all day. So today, the day after we get home my mom wanted me to go to my aunts to swim. So, I need glasses. I have horrible vision. I had to get new ones because she always made me use her perscription and I never got my own until finally now. Well, she calls me and asks if she should get them on the way back home to get me (she took my brother to the doctor this morning). Or on our way to my aunts. I said I didn't want to swim, and if she can get them on her way back. So, she tells me "Fine, we just won't get your glasses today" and I ask reptedly "What? Why?!" She hangs up. I call her back and she hangs up the call. I need to see. She ALWAYS ignores me. Even when she's not mad. She would literally walk in the same room as me and ignore me if I said "Mom?". I think this is unfair and I just want to see.

I ve never liked to show emotions, hug or kiss people, I m a pretty closed off person and it makes me extremely uncomfortable when my parents kiss me. my dad loves me and my brother a lot but he always kisses me and i find my face burns up and I get embarrassed, I wish he would treat me like he treats my brother. I ve never ever seen my dad even hug my brother, but my dad hugs and kisses me every time he leaves for work, and then just says see ya son to my bro... why is that? I probably sound ungrateful as there are people out there who would go to great lengths for loving, affectionate parents but I m just not an emotional person

theres this family a mother daughter and son. i was friends with the son the son has a mental illness he said i had sex with him then left him but that never happend and his mom and sister sent me upscene facebook messages after he said this they also posted stuff about me on craigslist. they said i also sleep around and had sex with a motor cycle gang which i dont know a motor cycle gang. the sister seems to be very jealous of me they are spreading rumors that im anorexic becuase im skinny becuase i work out all 3 of them are over weight. they also told my neighbors son to stay away from me im crazy but to be honest everyone thinks that family is crazy and them spreading rumors about me are not making me look bad they are making themselves look bad. why are they making themselves look like fools? they arent hurting me at all all my friends know the truth. people all think they are crazy and then son is autistic and scitzphrenic. i dont undertand them

so im gonna start off by saying my mother has been a really good mother my whole life, she has raised 7 kids with pretty much no help from my alcoholic dad, but we have began arguing a lot and i hate it, it gets me really upset because i love her so much, it's like she has built up torment with me for no reason because she is always snapping and whenever i say something she seems pissed at me but i haven't done anything, tbh i think it is because of me hating my dad and i don't ever speak to him and i think it pisses her off, but i don't speak to him because of how badly he has treated her throughout life (physically and emotionally abusive) and since he has came out of prison(yes its embarrasing i know) he has started arguing with her and i get involved to stick up for her and then she argues with me over it, and then like the next day i'll be over it and she'll still be mad, its like she resents me but if anything i should resent them for turning our house into a warzone whenever they argued when we were kids, and i hate him but i don't resent her because she would only defend herself, so why the **** does she resent me? i've literally done nothing... like she just seems like she doesn't love me anymore, she doesn't even smile at me, ever.and it makes me really sad, ill be 18 in a few moths and im going off to uni next year and i don't want it to be like this when i leave :( anyone saying i should apologise, what do i need to apologise for, and alos its easy for someone to say 'stop arguing' or 'suck it up' but don't want to suck it u because its my mum and i dont want to argue with her, the point is she argues with me for no reason

I'm in my 20's and my "authority figure" is mid 30's to early 40's. I'm kinda a shy and quiet, but can hold a conversation. Anyway, I RARELY interact with him. I either ask students around me first BEFORE him. It's last resort to ask him questions directly. The room has 25-30 ppl. I sit in the back with other girls I don't know that ALWAYS sit in the back too. Week 1 he would make frequent prolonged eye contact with me. It was so often I started avoiding it. I didn't want to seem disrespectful. One day I had to work in groups. While working in groups I couldn't understand his handwriting on the board. Since he was already in my line of Vision, near the board, he immediately noticed and slowly made his way over where he made a shy joke. Later he came back to the group, but this time sat directly in a seat that was right next to me. He was sitting so close that if I turned my head we would almost be in each others faces. Every time I hand in my paper he's always telling me Thank You, but I don't think he says it to anyone else. He keeps giving me the SAME grade. He barely critiques my paper. Another time I was slightly confused about an assignment he was discussing and was in private thought about it. He apparently saw it on my face in the back of the room and called me out asking me if everything was ok. I never raised my hand! I felt a little embarrassed and caught off guard as ppl turned around to look at me. I'm not in HS where I need to have someone "look out for me". I don't participate much, but this girl next to me NEVER participated, and he never picked on her. Once I came into the building early and he was there getting coffee. My mind was on something else so I didn't really see him there and the fact he waved hi to me. I did slightly wave hi back, but not fully. Dude brought it up in class about students and teachers not acknowledging each other. It sounds like he took it personally. I didn't realize he threw words until after I left. I came to class late once and he started smirking at me from an angle. Once after class he told everyone to get their paper before leaving. He called my name first waving my paper. I come over to his desk and he has me standing there while he gives everyone back their paper first and me later when it's right in front of him. Granted, he was talking to another student, but he was still giving back there's and holding onto mine. I got a 95% on the paper so no reason to hide it. There's no way he could know I'm a shy person on day one. I don't know what Bull$&!# is going on, but as an adult I should not have someone "protecting" me or try to get me out of my "shell" That's not his job! It's also not high school.

I'm going insane here. My mom thought it was okay to put 5 other people (6 with me) in my room for over three months. I can't take it anymore. Two of those people are under 3 years old, so of course they wake up during the night. My room is tiny as well. I can't take this. What was my mom thinking?! She didn't even ask about what I thought about the situation she just did it. She doesn't even care about how I feel. I'm 16, I would like some privacy.

Hello, I am basically in love with my sister, and not brotherly sisterly love, more like I wish she was my girlfriend love. I asked people when I was younger, around 12, and they said it was just hormones acting up and that it would go away, but I'm now 18 now and these feelings have not gone away, but they've actually increased over the years. I don't know how to tell her about my feelings because if she doesn't like me that way, I feel it would make things awkward between is, any advice? Alright, thank you everyone for the feedback, there is no need to answer this question anymore, I have decided to stop feeding these feelings by moving out in a couple of days to live with one of my friends. I have decided to try and get rid of these feelings that I have with my sister, hopefully I can make them all go away, but thanks again for all of your feedback.

I'm 14 and in 7th grade and I have liked this girl for 3 years soon 4 and I really think I should tell my dad about her because he doesn't know about her yet but he has told me about a girl he liked around my age one time and he said that he felt nervous around her friends and I'm in the exact same shoes as him because I feel really nervous around my crushes friends as well. However he said that once he got to know her friends he felt much more comfortable around her friends and he and the girl eventually got together. So needless to say I really think I should tell him about my crush because he probably will have great advice for me and I'm going to be 15 in two months so he should probably expect me to be interested in girls by now I just don't know exactly how to get the words out. How should I tell him? Thank you so much.

My mom is 55 I'm 24 my sister is 21 and my older brother is 40. My father passed away 7 years ago and my mom was fine up until maybe early this year. She has been complaining And stressing over anything. My brother cut the front yard and decided to wait to cut the back until the next weekend because the heat was to bad that day and had to work all week so she decided to tell everyone she is going to cut the grass. She bought stuff to cut the weeeds in the back and sstarted to try and cut everything when everyone is at work and start crying because she feel a she shouldn't have to do that. I told her to let us know what day you want us to help work on the yard but she feels she shouldn't have to say anything. I bought food for her birthday and grilled outside but she said she doesn't eat anything but hamburgers which I forgot she said that and in that situation no one cares and we just cared about what we wanted to eat. I said I was getting a new shower curtain and forgot so she says now she has to get up there and do it herself and I understand we shouldn't be forgetting but unfortunately my mom doesn't have any friends or she doesn't do anything so she has a lot of free time to think and worry about things that don't matter that much.

I'm remembering more and more sexual abuse from him every day. I remember him touching me every Sunday after church. I remember it detailed too. My problem is, I'm too ebarrassed to tell my mom. She told me that I need to tell her so she can tell the attorney (my dad is trying to get visitation after the divorce). And now I'm thinking that the drink he gave me every now and then at night, had sleeping pills in it. I know it's extreme, but I used to have the side affects of sleeping pills. Eyesight problems, balance problems, headaches, migraines etc. and now that I don't live with him at the moment, I haven't had these problems in 9 months (the amount of time without him.) So my question is, how can I tell my mom? I have 7 sisters, 3 brothers who were all abused my him (physically and mentally). She cries herself to sleep every night because she feels like a failure that she didn't keep us safe. All of them tell her something new every day and it's too much for her. She tells us to tell her everything, but it's ripping her up inside. And not telling her is ripping us inside. We're trying to save money for a new house so we can't afford a counceler. My dad was a counceler and he used his skills against us. So counceler a remind us of him. I'm also too embarrassed to tell any of my siblings. What can I do? How can I tell anyone? (Please don't flag me. I know you probably won't, but I just don't want to be flagged for needing help.) Thank you so much for reading. :)

My wife works in a small financial firm, the working hours end at 630 pm but even after that the boss restarains her from going home, she cannot restrain back as she fears that she may be kicked off. I tried talking with the boss n number of times but he does not understand. He has a wife and child but still he is like this. Are there any legal steps that can be taken against this?

Basically they have a small dog that destroys everything (I was unaware of this when we arrived at their house). So I left my closed backpack on the couch and they never told me to move it. When we came back from dinner the dog had gone into my backpack pulled out these expensive headphones and chewed all the way through them. I made them aware of the situation, and they offered to have them replaced. I just don't know whether I should accept their offer considering the headphones are pretty expensive. I feel bad, but it really was their fault... What should I do?

I live at my grandparents and they usually yell at me and threaten me. And today me and my sister where helping my grandpa cut the branches off tress and there was a big one and he hit me in the leg with the hard part of it. And I said ow and he was like well you shouldn't of been in the way. And I can barely walk and he still got mad at me because I couldn't do as much with my leg being hurt. So he made me do the rest of it. He calls me names every day and curses at me. And it makes me sad. Ps should I go to the hospital I can barely walk and it hurts.

My mother got re-married after my fathers death, The guy she is married to has a daughter that is one year older than me (i'm 17). She hot, and since our parents have much money, we can go out for dinner every night, and me and her goes to this one restaurant in The city almost every night. Last night, after The dinner, we walked out of The restaurant and she said: i really love spending time with you, and i'm so happy that we met. Our parents became a couple in 2007). And they moved in with us in 2009. After she said that, i put my hand on The back of her head and kissed her for a long time, like 4-5 minutes, then we Held hand all the way back to the house. And before we went in, she said: i want to be with you forever. I thought that i sounded lame, but what The hell. Tonight, we are going out to a restaurant which is for dating mostly. Our parents doesnt know, but is this wrong?

My mother is a total narcissist, she's manipulative, she lies to everyone and acts like a 13 year old. I've been handcuffed by police and sent to in patient after she lied about me. She's told me she would lie to the police about me, and when she shoves me and stuff she denies it. She tries to compete with me on every level. When she got mad at me recently she started destroying my things and said i was mad because the boys at my high school thought she was cute and didn't even look at me. Then she called me evil, said everyone hates me. Said I was mad cause she can fit my pants (Which she can't. I think she doesn't like that I'm thin and she's bigger. I wear a size two and she wears a size 6, but I don't understand why she always brings that up). I have pretty low self esteem and just recently stopped wearing makeup because I'm trying to feel better in my own skin. She goes on cussing at me and screaming in my face, calling me a baby. Saying I think I'm smart but I'm not. Then she starts lying saying she hasn't cussed the whole time. She makes my brother agree with her. He later told me he didn't want to get in trouble. She told him to leave the room and when he did she shoves me and starts ripping up my papers. She denies everything later. It kind of made me want to die. This happens so often and my dad is gone. She's taken me off of all my medicine and stopped taking me to therapy for over a year now. Even if I could talk to them, she just lies. How do I deal with this?

she's 4, I'm a single dad. My issue is, she's ruling the roost. If I say " eat your 4 pieces of broccoli or no ice cream." she either throws a fit, or tries to butter me up and be cute, or ignore me completely and make dessert anyway. I'm trying to punish, but I give in because she looks so sad. Help.

Hi! I'm almost 17 and I'd like some money of my own! I'm so scared to get a job! Is there any ways I can rid myself of this anxiety? Most of my friends are working and I feel really behind. Thanks for the help. (Didn't know what category to put this in, forgive me will ya?)

Out of my whole family she is taking it the hardest. I just want to know if this behavior is excessive, and should be would for her safety? is this normal? or is this just one big guilt trip to get me to stay? P.S. I recently found out that I have been the scapegoat of the family. I'm actually a little hesitant to leave my room cause I don't her to start sobbing and beg me to stay

My brother has Austism and is 10 years old but act like she is 4. My parents have a hard time they either have to deal with a huge fight or let him have everything he wants. When he was younger (a baby) I could just make him laugh but now when he is older he might laugh for 1 sec and yell again. He also has a horrible time with my sister I can't imagine how she feels. He always blames her laughs when she Cry and yells at her for no reason all the time and act like he compeatly hates her. As the oldest child I want to help my parents but no one has found how to stop my brother without letting him have everything he wants. PLEASE HELP! I want to help my brother and my family!!!

I just want to buy a pizza that s all but he said no :( even if I use my money PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEELPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE :'(((((((((((

Okay so I have a my son from an ex he's about to be two and his father has never been around him because of his girlfriend she selfish they got married and now expecting a baby ...but its like she has a grudge on me and my baby boy like she's always posting stuff on Facebook talking mess about us especially about my son so I've decided to put my sons father on child support but I don't want her or his family around my son cause 1) his family only visited my son 3 times since he has born 2) they have that girl on Facebook and never defended my son 3) cause she's crazy She makes fake Facebook account to stalk or talk to me .. Shes even called my son a dog and she stalks my sister.. Which im blesses my sister works her *** off to help me and buy my son anything he wants ...what can I do

My sister does this almost every week. I don't know why, as she never had this problem when she was 5 or 6. Now she does this at least every week, sometimes 2-4 times in a week. She has separation anxiety but I doubt that has anything to do with it because it happens when we are with her. A lot of the time she's on her iPad and doesn't want to get off of it. Should I be worried about this or is it normal?

First off, I do love my mother in law. However there are a few reasons as to why I don't want her staying with us when our baby is born in about 5 weeks (She lives a couple hours away). 1. We currently live in a one bedroom (we will be moving into a bigger place once our lease is up in about 5 months). So there isn't much room for her to stay. 2. She smokes weed and thinks its okay to smoke in our bathroom. 3. She often tells me what I can and cannot do in my own household. She doesn't financially support us in anyway and this bothers me greatly. My husband is a wonderful, non confrontational man. Though he agrees with me, he doesn't want to be involve in talking about this with his mom. Being that him and I have been together for over 10 years and this is our first baby, I decided to try to talk about it with her, to which she is offended that I want her to stay at a hotel and is ignoring me, I only told her I felt it was best when the baby was born that she get a hotel due to our place being small and I wanted hubby, baby & I to get adjusted to our new life, just us three, but that she was more than welcome to come over during her trip. Am I wrong for asking her to stay at hotel? I just don't understand why she thinks its okay to just assume she can stay with us in our 700 sqft home for a month and smoke weed all she wants in the bathroom. I am by no means trying to deny her any time with her first grandbaby, but there needs to be some boundaries.

My mother married this fag last year, and he treats me like ****, today, he even stabbed me with a screwdriver in my back, and my mother says: dont hurt my daughter, but he dont listen to her, and then he slapped me in The face. Once, he even touched my breast, then he comes home drunk most nights, smelling like booze and womens parfume. I say to mom: stop being with him, but she says that she Loves him. How do i get rid of The ******? I am 15 And appearently they are going to have a kid now PS. I am using my boyfriends account, thats why The Account name is henry

My fiance and I currently live separately, and we're wanting to get a place together, but we both have so many expenses that it's hard to save. One solution his dad brought up is to stay with him for a month or two. His dad is used to taking people in when they need a temporary place to stay and he's completely okay with staying there. I just feel weird about it. I've got that whole, "I'm too independent" thing going on. But it really would help us save money FAST. Should I just swallow my pride and DO it, or is it really tacky?

I'm 20. I found photos of my mom and her coworker in bed kissing. I confronted her (this was 8 months ago), and asked her to vent to me and tell me what was wrong. She cried, telling me she wanted to feel loved, that my dad is always so stressed and there isn't enough sex or physical love. I suggested to talk to him, to do marriage counseling, anything other than cheating. She said no to marriage counseling and said she would work on it with my dad. 8 months later, I check recently and find new photos of the coworker cleaning her car, a screenshot text of my mom telling him how happy he made her one day, and a selfie photo of him sent to her. I confronted her again, she yelled at me saying those photos are nothing, they were a long time ago, they haven't had sex, and she and my dad are much better now. I told her to show me texts between her and the coworker if they are "just friends" and two months ago they sent back and forth selfies (clothed) of each other. She even has him listed as "sinta" or sweetheart in her contacts. She told me again I could never tell my dad, she will cut all connections with her coworker, and that if I do tell my dad, it will hurt him. She plans to never tell him. I just haven't gotten myself to talk to her. I say "Hi" and instantly regret it. I'm filled with hate, and anger, and sadness, and resentment, and I can't even look at her or be in the same room with her unless my dad is there, and even then it's hard and I only stay for a few minutes. I love my dad. And I feel like he deserves to know. He is always so stressed and confides in me about his stress since my mom doesn't get it and yells at him. I plan to move to Texas with my boyfriend after I graduate, and I just don't know if I could leave my dad here with my mom without him knowing. I don't trust my mom anymore. And I just hate her. But I hate to hate her, but I can't find myself to restart my relationship with her. If they do divorce, I'm pretty sure my dad would follow me to Texas. He actually wanted to move there after I told him about it, but of course, my mother held him back. Said she makes great money at work (a minimum wage waitress job, the tips are where it's at but that all goes to her - her fun money). There are no other family members around here, and my mom's only connections are her loser friends who are a majority divorced or just as superficial.
