So, I was on Facebook, like I am everyday, and I share this post that supports Planned Parenthood because I'm very pro choice. The video was satire, mocking others who have no clue how Planned Parenthood works. It wasn't a mean video, just light heart joking. My aunt didn't take kind to the post (she's very pro life, she's lost a child, but it has nothing to do with abortion. It was a big tragedy.) She went on and on how the video was cruel and how they want to rip babies up. That's how she talks and I accept that, but I took to her, and explained nicely that I am pro choice and I think it's okay to get abortion when it's very necessary. (Like if your life is endangered.) I just continued with my view on it. And her last comment was "I have nothing else to say." Then deleted me. I messaged her privately trying to reason with her, why I'm for abortion because women sometimes need it, whether it'd be forced into sex or for their own life. She told me about some things of her past I was never aware of, that it related to the subject. I apologized and told her I loved her and that I would love to have her added back. (We've only had a relationship between Facebook because she lives far away.) I never intended to hurt her feelings, it wasn't me being me, it was just what I believed in. I'm not sure what to do.. She's my aunt but she wants to disconnect from me? Please respect this question. I'm not sure what to do and I'd like to read what you all have to say.

My dad is an alcoholic, and he's very emotionally abusive. He'll tell me I'm not very smart, and that I have a "bird brain." When my mom met him he was nice, until they got married. He was very emotionally abusive to her, and always teased me as a child. She wanted to leave him but Financialy couldn't do it. She passed when I was 14, I didn't get to see her a lot when she was in the hospital because that's when my dad became an a alcoholic. It's been 2 years since my moms passed, and he still to this day drinks every single day, stays in the garage and I'm in the house alone. I always smell alcohol on him and I'll hear beer cans pop.. Mabye once every few months he won't drink a day, and he's just as mean as when he does. My family brushes it off and says he has a "good excuse." I basically raise myself with no loving parent. I miss my mom dearly, but I feel like it would be a little easier if I had a nicer parent.

It is about 26 people. Everyone gets along but it is not a family where everyone gets together as a group a lot. So would this be too much or is twice a year not too much? My grandfather's siblings only do once every three years but that is because they all live across New England and don't get along well. In my aunts-uncles-cousins group everyone gets along.

In 18 and my brother is 16 and he is a little bit on the lazy side. He doesn't do a lot of exercise, he sits and plays video games a lot, he eats a lot of sugar and sweets and not a lot of vegetables! He doesn't drink water that much, he is on his phone a lot, he stays up late, is he healthy still? Like do a lot of teenagers do this kind of stuff? Should I worry? I have my own life to live and he hates when I tell him to do stuff! So should I just leave him alone and not tell him to do stuff?

My parents are always holding a camera in front of my face, trying to get me to walk on my own. plz help

I had invited my mom to a concert, one in which she repeatedly told me she didn't want to go. I asked her countless of times to go with me until she said yes. Even after agreeing to go with me she would tell everyone how she didn't want to go, she even asked my dad to go with me instead. The concert ended up getting postponed to a further date, when she found out she told me she didn't want to go and to ask for my refund because she wasn't going I told her that I wouldn't do that because I really wanted to go and that I would find someone else to go with me. The day of the concert came and I took my best friend and my mom is absolutely mad at me for not taking her. I don't get it, she told me she didn't want to go anymore plus she never wanted to go in the first place. I took her word and invited someone else but now she thinks I'm a horrible daughter. I know it was wrong of me for not reassuring it with her but I took her word and invited my friend right away so I could know whether to sell them or not. Do you think I'm completely at fault for this, I think we both are but she's very upset with me and says it's all my fault.

so this kid in my geometry class usually insults me alot by either calling me gay "whenever im playing around with my friend, but im honestly not so it doesnt really offend me", calls me a dumbass when or if i say something stupid, and he always looks at me like he s gonna do something. So today he insults me by saying im a dumbass, so i insult him back, saying he should say it to my face, and calling him a pussy. After class we walk out and i go up to him and tell him he wouldn t do anything because he s afraid, and he tellsme to run away or else, so i don t.He starts swinging at me but i move back so he doesn t touch me, then I jab him in the face and he starts bleeding. After that he looks at me in a "I can t believe you did that, I m telling my mom" look, then runs off. alot of people pretty much saw it but what im worried about is if he tells an adminitrator that i beat him up then i get expelled, or he tells his parents then i get introuble with authorities, or he brings a weapon to school and tries to harm me. Was I right? What do i do? Should i apologize?

I'm being treated worse than my stepsister by my father She's my stepsister who is much younger than me. By the way I am 13 and she has a diamond necklace and diamond necklace and I don't. She has diamond earrings and I don't. She goes to these plays in New York City every week and I don't. She gets professional pictures taken of her and I don't. She only sees my dad on the weekends because my dad and her mom split up. I tried talking to him but he won't listen. What do I do? And don't tell me I'm jealous cause I am and I have a reason to be. He is still in love with my sisters mother and she isn't rich so that isn't why and my father wants nothing to do with me. I am so mad.

My family is thinking about buying a house in CA, and we live in SC. It will usually only be me and my dad living there,as my mom has to stay at her job because she only has 10 years until she can retire, and she has been there for 15 years. My dad's job is really flexible and he only has to get a certain number of hours. So we were going to live in CA, while my mom and brother live in SC, because my brother is too young. My dad is probably going to go back and forth each month to get enough hours and see my family. Will it be okay for me to be on my own for about a month because I will be 16, maybe 17, when this starts. I will have a car and I have a job with computers, along with my parents money, but is it legal.

I watched a video as a teenager in school where there is a song playing with text animations showing on big screen. I just need to know it isn't indoctrination since parents and siblings may have attended one indoctrination event without me late last year where they maybe forcing me to be masculine/macho while they turn femenine when my identity was always close to being femenine/metrosexual. It's bad enough my dad is now very inclined at bossing, scolding and blaming me for everything while feeding me foods high in protein since my violent macho brother has attended such event with them. I feel frustrated.

so it all started when she got pregnant I could of not been more mad when she said shes having ANOTHER baby ive got a little sister who gets everything what she wants when she wants im never allowed to go out with them or anything not that id wanna coz im 13 always out with mates but she screams at me for the slightest thing I do wrong it makes me so angry and I makes me more mouthy at scholl she takes everything away and threatens me and says she don't care any more. yeah I say horrible stuff to her that makes her md but I cant help it when someone starts on me and it don't help when steve is always butting in he is my step dad I hate him they both gang up on me and it aint fair they treat me like ****. she shouts at me so much no one elses parents who I no are like this what should I do ???

So here's the thing. She's incredibly lazy, rude, and indifferent (15). I'm the oldest child (17), and the only other sibling is our youngest brother (12). You'd have thought the baby brother would act the brattiest but it is actually the middle child. There have been many examples of her negative traits but I'm just going to focus on the most recent one that just happened like 5 mins ago because its still fresh in my mind and I need answers. We were watching the neighbor's 2 dogs for the day (smallish medium mutts, about 30lbs each), all of us home alone w/ the dogs in the backyard (this is something my parents agreed to do). Suddenly the dogs start fighting each other aggressively. I rush to the back screaming at them. She and my little brother are upstairs, and they can both clearly hear me. Guess who's the one that rushes down? My little brother! Not the older sibling, the younger one! The both of us were able to separate them but could barely keep them apart. They're still pulling against us and were too strong for my brother. I'm screaming at the top of my lungs for my good-for-nothing sister to get down and help us; if she helped my brother who is closest to the door, the both of them could get one dog into the house and keep them separated. No, she doesn't come down, my brother is left to slowly drag the dog inside. I can't go over to help bc if I get too close or let the dog I'm holding go, they'll fight again. When everything's done here's all that she has to say: "So, what happened?" I answered, "Nothing that you cared about." And she went off the deep end. When my parents got back she told them I was being harsh with her & I told my side of the story but was told to back off bc she was "only 15" couldn't have done a single thing. Um hello, my 12 year old brother ended up rushing out to help me when I seriously would've counseled against him coming out at all!!

I have a 17 year old daughter who we sent to rehab. We knew she was drinking and were ok with it, and some occasional weed smoking socially that we didn't love but decided to let go. We went through her phone and found out that she had tried cocaine a few times and was smoking on a daily basis. We decided that, although we probably would have not have sent her to rehab for the smoking aspect, the cocaine was no acceptable. She went in for 30 days and go out early August. She is miserable. Her entire life is flipped around, we cannot allow her to hang around certain people, we have a tracking device on her phone, and we watch what she does on her phone constantly. We have a lot of control. She will be leaving to college in August of 2016 and I am not sure what to do. She will not be living at home, she'll be about 2 hours away. We do not want her speaking to specific people, dating a specific person, or doing ANY drugs. We see a change in her and do not think she is a legitimate addict, however, we feel like we should do the following. My husband is paying for her college, he has stated that she must keep at least a 3.0 GPA, do no drugs (weed included, we will be drug testing her every once in a while), cannot see a specific boy and cannot hang around certain people, or he's pulling the plug. Is this reasonable? Is this something we can even do? Should we allow her to make some of her own decisions?

So I'm a 13 year old girl who is 6 feet tall, and 186 lbs. I live in a world where size 0 is perfect and 4'5 is an adorable perfect height, I'm the opposite of that. I have a big nose and far long thick ugly hair with a man-looking jaw and ugly in every way. People like girls that are amazing 10's, as I get the rate of a 7. My cousins,sisters and friends make me feel invisible, I feel so unwanted when people ask me for their number. My aunt said that I was was fat and jealous of my cousin and laughed at me, my mom laughed as well. I told my dad he got mad and washed it off thinking I was a liar. I feel trapped, my head hurts, what can I do? Or should I shut up and make my fat *** workout and use a grey bag on my face or cut my nose.

I'm 18 years old and my little brother is 16, and for a while now I have been like treating him like my own son, it's not normal but I have OCD and anxiety! I have this weird obsession of trying to make my little brother "healthy"?? Like I make him go out and exercise, make him eat vegetables and fruits, tell him to get outside and exercise instead of playing video games, I tell him to floss his teeth, do mouthwash, drink water, I tell him to not eat sugar! And my parents think this is ridiculous so they told me to stop parenting him and telling him what to do, but I don't think I can. If I don't tell him to do all of the health stuff, then he will just eat sugar and sit on his butt and play video games all day! The only reason he is healthy is because of me, I make sure he does stuff, I want to stop but my mind won't let me because for some reason I want my little brother to be healthy! Like I want to be the healthy brothers because it makes me feel like complete? Do you know what I mean? I have OCD so that is why I care so much! Is it normal for older brothers to care about how much time his little brother spends on his phone or video games? Am I being weird?

I live in Texas and am 13. My mom is always mad because of my hobby but she doesn't have one. I am having a lot of fun but how do I go knowing my mom doesn't like it. Please help me. She is not the kind of person to talk to.

Yesterday, I got into an argument with both my mom and my brother. I felt VERY angry yesterday and couldn't even concentrate studying because I was so pissed. The only thing i wanted to do yesterday was choke them out to ******* oblivion!!! I kept thinking to myself that in gonna ******* get them both!!! So I was thinking about confronting my brother and saying whatever I wanted to say abd doing dirty tricks to my ******* mom. However, I was thinking that is confronting them such a good idea. I knew I was pissed off yesterday, but I was thinking what's the point of doing these things if I'm okay now. I mean, I want to confront them and at the same time, I dont. Should I confront them or just let it go??

Ok, I love my mom in spite of the fact that she's made mistakes... my mom has sacrificed for me and everything else. Love is unconditional. I don't feel loved by my father, and I feel like a piece of garbage because he deserted our entire family. I feel like a serious loser because he chooses his "wife" over me. I feel like a serious loser because others my age are starting to get married, but even my own father didn't want me. He's also telling me that I need to start having babies, changing diapers, etc. I haven't even travelled or seen the world, and there are so many things I haven't done. I would like to have more pets when I have the stability in my life to care for them, but he wants me to have babies. I'm not a baby factory. I KNOW the reason my parents had a second kid is because they weren't satisfied with a daughter and what they wanted was a son. I have one aunt who thinks she's the queen of everything and expects everyone to bow down. We had an argument because she tried to run my life and I became very upset because she told me I just needed to start working because I wasn't smart enough for grad school. Another aunt is even worse. She has said some things that horrified me because they are so cold hearted. She unfairly accuses me of being a manipulator and a liar, and she tried to get my mom to kick me out of the house. On top of that she also wants to run my life, tell me where I can and can't live, and she has no clue about real life. I don't hate my relatives, or want to hurt them, I'm just upset that they want to make all my decisions (they don't think I'm smart enough I suppose) and no one ever asks me what I want. I live with my mom and my mom's other kid and things at home are a bit dysfunctional. I feel like I got stuck with a weird family and I experience feelings of isolation and detachment all the time. I avoid my extended family because they always try to run my life and a fight inevitably ensues. I LOVE my mom, really love my mom. I'm not a mean person. It's just that I'll NEVER forgive my father. The rest of my extended family... every time they come to see me they immediately try to start planning my life for me even when I don't ask for advice. And S that is exactly what it is.. drama! I am so sick and tired of drama!!

Me and my brother love each other but we always fight and I've heard that full blooded siblings fight but adopted don't and me and my brother are only half blooded and I don't know what they do but I want to know why siblings are like this.

I'm 15, and a sophomore in high school.I have 2 younger brothers 12 and 7), and I have to go to bed anywhere from 6:00-8:00 (but 6:30-7:30 usually). Being older, I feel that I should go to bed a little later. I prefer 9-9:30, but I'm open to 8:30 too. I surveyed some of my friends, and they go to bed at 9:00-10:00 usually. My own boyfriend usually go to bed at 9:30. I will be 16 next month, and although I have to get up at 5:30 for school, I should be able to go to bed at least 8:30. My cousin, who I live with and is a junior, can stay up later than that. Any suggestions? All will be appreciated! :) S-I have a after school program on Monday-Thursday, but I come home at like 5 and I talk to my boyfriend when I get home. I don't even get to read or write or anything

I had to see her at an event unfortunately. The very first thing she said to me was "Didn't your mother die young from cancer". The event was for my grandchild & was totally inappropriate to say. She really wanted to say "Since your mother died young shouldn't you be dying soon too" All I said Is I've never felt better in my life. She has said terrible things about me to one of my friends before this, so don't say oh I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it. If I run into her somewhere outside of a family event I may say something, it was her way of making fun of me & trying to scare me because I've had cancer. I've tried to let it go, and have for now, but I don't think I could hold back if I run into her somewhere. I may never run into so that's fine. I just pray karma gets her for being such a vicious person. Her son filled her head with a bunch of nonsense, a good mother would have taught him to man up & deal with his marriage on his own, or with a counselor. It's easy to get a family member to agree with you. It's actually cruel to involve a family member, it puts them in a bad situation.

Ok, first off, I'm not the type of person to really care about these things, but they're driving me crazy. Alright. I'm 16, first year in college in a private school in Poland. My mother works here. 1.She's pissing me off. She keeps on saying about how I'm stupid, don't want to learn and like I get bad marks all the time. I have above average marks and she keeps on saying they're **** and so on. I told here that learning is much harder in college as opposed to high school but she just can't get that. The ironic thisg is she failed a class and had to stay a year behind. 2.My dad's a fvcking idiot. He's crazy. He also keeps on talking about how I'm an idiot, about how he'll have to work for me whilst I do nothing etc. 3.Why do they force me to not sit at the computer? I usually get home and turn it on till I sleep. It helps with learning, I can read the news(I'm slightly into politics) and it helps pass the time, 4.Why the **** do they not let me play the guitar? I'm getting a new one in about 3 weeks and they said I should learn whilst my marks are perfectly fine. Care to help/explain? Thanks very much Bartholomew

Last day my dad went to my uncle house to stay for 2 days and my crystal meth addict brother thinks me and my mom have killed him! Thats so gross iam scared if he kills me what should i do? He is 18 i am 16

My sister is a year older than me, and we're both going to the same college. Our rent is 505.00 every month and since then she's only contributed twice since moving there in August 2014. We both have jobs but instead of paying for a bill, she chooses to go out with her friends (and then makes it a point to talk about how much she despises them behind her back.) She got into an argument with me about inviting her friends over and she told me to make sure that I disappear before they arrived this weekend. I told her that I lived there too and I paid the rent and that she was being selfish for trying to kick me out. I'd like to add that she also goes to a therapist and constantly tells her therapist (and her friends) how selfish and rude she thinks I am and she's even told our parents. She tends to live up playing 'the victim card' and constantly screams at our mother to get what she wants. She's the middle child, and yet she's treated like the baby of the family (this coming from the actually baby of the family who always gets the short end of the stick) and it wasn't until yesterday that I had enough of her manipulative behavior. I told her if I'm so selfish then don't touch anything in the apartment that I've paid for. Use what you bought, which was absolutely nothing. She physically attacked me because of it and I called the police. Even my mother thinks she should be monitored and she doesn't keep friends long because of her rude behavior. My question is: Am I wrong here?

This is it I'm leaving Islam i won't tell no one about it i will still act like I'm a Muslim but i won't believe in it My mom and dad is embarrassing me when they talk it's like they are screaming they said loudly "(SisterName) go sleep with your brother fast!" they said like 3 times i said to my dad "No i don't want her to sleep with me let her sleep in the other room or with you" he then scream on me to let her sleep in my room and i said I don't want to why are you so mad? then my mom come and she is screaming too my mom said "**** me" i said "Okay" then she got angry and said you will have a black days and also said i won't get any WiFi no more and she was about to take my laptop religion is stupid every religion is stupid i can't take it no more i can't keep believing in books

Ok so for my sweet sixteen my family and I decided to go on a trip. And it was going to be my parents, siblings and my aunt and uncle. But it seemed like their grandkid may go. And he is a devil! He always complains and if they don't give him what he wants he ruins everyone's fun time. He always bothers my sister and me and this trip is to enjoy and having him come would mean all the fun gone. We'd have to do little kids stuff to make him happy and he's birthday is the week were staying so is this for him or for me? I'm just so dissapointed and sad and mad that my birthday present is going to get ruined by a brat who doesn't respect me or anyone for that matter. I'm just so sad. What should I do? Or just give me a good talk because I feel like ****. Thank you

I live with my mom, dad grandma, Older brother and younger brother, my mom and grandma went to Aruba today for two weeks, I already miss her like crazy like I m crying a lot. My older brother comes back in one week, I m not good with change, and I even stayed home from school bc I was crying so much. Help me

At what age should I be confident when askin my mom if I can go out with my friends ??? Of course she will give me a ride im 13 btw thxXx

She just informed me she's getting a divorce. About two years ago, my siblings and I all received an inheritance from my Dad's passing. About $30,000.00 each. I have no idea where she stands with the money but is something like that usually considered communal property when you divide the assets? I don't even think they have many assets (no home but a couple cars). I think they're divorcing because he's pretty selfish and spends all their funds anyways.. so he would probably go after that money if there is any left. What usually happens for this type of stuff

So, here's the story of my possibly dead half-sister. My dad always had girlfriends, and a couple years ago (I'm 15) he finally told me about getting one of his girlfriends pregnant as a teenager. He then told me that he tried to convince her to get an abortion but they ended things and he never knew whether she really got one or not. She did, however, tell him that the baby was a girl. I think I've finally gotten to the age where I'm actually interested in things like this, but the thing is that I am way more than interested. All of these thoughts just come racing through my head because this girl would be around 26 years old if she is still alive and I'm really torn up about it because she might actually be out there somewhere, alive and well. I did find my dad's ex's Facebook page, and she has a son who just graduated, although I'm not sure whether it was from high school or college. However, he does look a little bit like my dad and he is a mechanic and loves old rock and roll just like my dad. I do wonder if the doctors might have gotten the gender switched up and the baby may have ended up a boy. So, I guess what I'm asking is how can I find my half sibling with my dad's ex's Facebook page and name, the person's age, and where the ex currently lives? Also, if the abortion did happen is there a way for me to find those records? Please help, this is really important to me and my family.

I'm a guy 15, I came out as gay to my dad yesterday and he said he was fine with it as long as it didn't interfere with school or education, etc. but today he left a gift box on my bed and I unwrapped it and there was condoms and lube in it. Does this mean anything, I don't get it

I'm 19 and a french major in college. I am supposed to study abroad in the spring of '16, the dream of a lifetime. But I just found out today that the showers in the dorms are wide open, like shower heads around poles. Intelectually, I know this isn't a huge deal, but emotionally I'm completely scared to the bone. Yes, I know it's "all girls", but I am the only daughter in my house, never played sports, didn't have to shower after PE, etc.....basically I'm the typical shy American. I know it's crazy, but I've actually considered applying for a different study abroad because of this. But on some level, I know this is the best study abroad for me, in the place I most want to be, and this seems a silly reason not to do it. On the other hand, I just can't imagine.....

I know menopause is more of a physical thing but what about mental? My mother is 52 and for the past 5 years her personality has changed a lot. She's become mean, fussy, always complaining, lazy when i mean lazy i mean she doesn't clean up anything and just makes messes. One moment she can be calm the next she's flying off the handle. She appears to have no respect for her intermediate family and often demands us to wait head and foot for her. Shes compulsively shopping for things like clothes and furniture. Often she tells my sister, my dad and I that we need to change and do better with our lives and how horrible we act towards her and how everything is our fault and things of that nature. In reality we are just beginning to become intolerable of her personality change. In short she acts like the evil queen and we are her peasants. I love my mom but living with her is becoming completely unbearable. Its so bad that my sister, my dad and I hardly want to have anything to deal with her. So is this part of menopause or could this be something else?

I have a custody agreement with my ex. He is now re-married. When we were together, he was abusive. He told me to abort our child and blame it on my bad health, kicked and punched me so I left. Our child is now 10 and he has her part-time. This weekend, she came home and told me they were fighting and that "dad threw a cookie sheet at _____(his wife)". She told me also that they fight all the time and they stop when she walks into the room and maybe she should go over more often so they stop fighting. She also told me weeks ago, when the song "little toy guns" was on by Carrie Underwood that it was just like dad and her stepmom screaming all the time. The only other thing is that she mentioned being in the car trapped and scared because they were yelling so hard and dad was slamming on the brakes to get stepmom to be scared. She said she wanted to jump out of the car. She tells me she's not supposed to tell these things. What can I do? She is 10, old enough to testify, help?

My parent are hard on me for my grades. They think B's are bad and unacceptable, and they think im gonna fail highschool. I had all A's and one B and then my mom had enough when two more grades went down. now she emails my teachers because she doesn't trust me. our relationship is getting worse now and I don't know what to do. she still lets me do stuff but she doesn't trust me with my grades anymore. anytime I would get a B or something this year I would be able to fix it by the next day. but now since she got into it its been a week, and all I do is get screamed at. she thinks im a liar and doesn't understand which assignment is which. she always screaming at me and I just say yes to everything because its constant. she does it so much and since I cant do anything she keeps asking me how or what the missing assignment is and its been going on for a week. help! I need help ASAP

They are jealous of my romantic relationship . My father once threatened my boyfriend to report to the police that he is a pedo. Whenever I utter I'm gay or leave us alone or I love him, he beats me. Now they will send me to military school, but I hate it. My parents are stupid and outdated. They don't understand that love has nothing to do with age. My boyfriend is eight years older than me but we're in love. If this difference is too much, then why my dad married my mom, while she is twelve years younger? he's not pedophile. pedophiles are old, he's just 23

So right now school starts in under 15 minutes and my dad is in the living room watching TV. WHAT CAN I DO??? My first period class is really important and if I miss it I don't know what I'm going to do....

I have to go in taxi. I'm so scared. Because I have to. What will others think, please help. Please....

I had a sex dream about my former step mom and now I really want to see her nude....since she left my dad we don't talk at all and how awkward would be to tell her this.....can someone help out

I kind of want to sneak out and see him in the middle of the night. We live in the same neighborhood so getting there won't be a problem and getting out and into my house won't be a problem either because everyone in my family is a really heavy sleeper. I know it's a really bad idea but I need some pros and cons to decide. I'm a really bad liar so idk how I'll be able to hide it from my parents anyways. :/ and if I did sneak out and see him we wouldn't have sex. Thanks

So recently I've noticed my mom doesn't take my side in anything, she's always on my brother's side, my step brother feels the same way, she's always saying what I do is wrong or what I'm saying isn't right and just agrees with my brother. She always calls me an asshole for the things I do unintentionally and makes me feel so useless... I have a girlfriend that I love and all but she's been grounded for a few days and I don't know if she's even gonna want to be with me when she gets her phone back, my other friends don't really care about me and ignore me half the time when I talk to them about this, and I always help them when they need it most... My ex recently killed herself and I loved her, in fact I can't get over her. Nor the fact she's gone, but we were together for a full on year, she was everything to me and now my everything is gone. I really love my girlfriend and all but I can't help but feel she was my everything, so right now I've got nothing and no one in my life that gives a ****, I know none of you will say I should commit suicide but honestly I'm feeling there's no other option.... This is like a puppy being in a kennel all it's life and being abused when crying. I just want to know how others would try to live like this, please tell me how you would! I just want to not feel so empty and useless and stupid and straight up ******* retarded for letting things get like this... Thank you.

My mom and I got into an argument, so I told her I'm leaving and going to my aunts house. She said "fine, leave, but don't ask me for anything" I said "I don't care I have a job. Obviously I'm not making any big kind of money, but I have something in my pocket. She said "you think you're something with your little job, you're not making sh!!t, try to survive out there in the real world and see where you end up" the whole thing was really unnecessary and hurtful. Why does she feel the need to use my job against me ?

I'm 15, and a sophomore in high school.I have 2 younger brothers 12 and 7), and I have to go to bed anywhere from 6:00-8:00 (but 6:30-7:30 usually). Being older, I feel that I should go to bed a little later. I prefer 9-9:30, but I'm open to 8:30 too. I surveyed some of my friends, and they go to bed at 9:00-10:00 usually. My own boyfriend usually go to bed at 9:30. I will be 16 next month, and although I have to get up at 5:30 for school, I should be able to go to bed at least 8:30. My cousin, who I live with and is a junior, can stay up later than that. Any suggestions? All will be appreciated! :)

My ex and I broke up when I was pregnant with our daughter who is now 12. We also have a 14 year old son. When we broke up, he brought me to court, telling me he wanted shared custody of the kids. Then we got to court and he told the judge he didn't want to be in the kids lives but would be willing to pay child support. A few weeks after everything was finalized, he dropped out of the picture completely and refused to pay. He's been in jail twice for refusing to pay. Two years ago, he told me he regretted having nothing to do with them and wanted to try being a good dad. At the time, he was engaged to a woman who was genuinely nice and seemed to be interested in supporting him spending time and developing a relationship with the kids. Unfortunately, he left her just after he introduced her to them (after six or seven times seeing her). A few months later, he met his current fiancée and stopped seeing them again. However, she started calling and texting and emailing, trying to set up visitation for her and the kids. She showed up at my sons school and asked him if he was ready for me to die (I was diagnosed with terminal cancer a couple of years ago). My son came home in tears that day. So I called my ex who said he wanted him and his fiancée to see and spend time with the kids. He asked the kids if they wanted to spend the weekend with them and they said no. The fiancée has contacted me several times and has tried to communicate with the kids on a number of occasions. I contacted the police and got a restraining order against her. But she's still persisting and has been arrested twice. Now, I've been informed they're moving at the end of next week (to another country) and will be fighting me for rights to have the kids when I die. This terrifies me because my kids are struggling enough with the prospect of losing me at any time. What can I do?

I want to see if transferring highschool will motivate me, but my mom says I'll get beat up a lot if I goto arroyo highschool in El monte? I mean is it really that ghetto? I'm not a hard *** I'm kinda nerdy but I look angry all the time but that's the way I look?

I didnt let them know my intentions of moving earlier, because I knew they would never approve. They feel like I wouldnt be ready. I am 21 and I just felt like it is time for me to move on.

I'm 15 and last week i wanted to talk about something with my brother at school but it was inappropriate to talk about at school so he didn't want to talk about it and I should have just left it alone after that but instead I got real mad at him that he didn't want to talk about it and I just kept talking on and on and I eventually started ranting at him about it and getting real mad and he eventually told me to shut up which was the right thing to do but I instead got extremely ticked off at him and I called him a son of a bitc* out loud but he didn't hear me. I also said screw you to him before calling him what I just said. I just feel like the worst brother in the world now because me and my brother actually get along and we are probably one of the few brothers out there who don't fight unlike every other group of siblings out there who get into fights to the point where they want to kill each other. So how should I handle this situation now because like I said I feel like the worst brother ever and I could tell my brother what I said to him but that will be extremely hard to do because I can only imagine what the consequences would be. What should I do? Don't get any ideas about what we were talking about at school and no rude, inappropriate, or immature answers or I will swear you out!!

Our room are built right on each other. I am 20 and have a right to sex now.. But they always complain.. And I fight back with having to listen to them since I was 12 years old.. And they keep going on that it's not my house, however, it's not their house either it's their parents house . Im moving out soon, but still... Yeah im stupid.... And failed college recently so.. Im stuck.. Failed college would be an understatement.. I have a disability, so I failed life when I was born.

So it just what I wonder. When my parents divorce. My mom family don't like me or hate me. Because I would wanna go to my other family and they would always help my mom. I just don't get this. I'm not very close to them or get along with them and I don't know if this is because of the divorce when I go through hard times or they weren't that close. But they still hate don't like me or not close. So why is this ? And why do they still do that ? It sucks because whenever I wanna spend time with both family and maybe not even to get close to them but do what I want or have my own reason and its really annoying and everything I feel like my mom won't listen or and understand my needs. Its so obvious. And it suck like I said I wanna stay at her sis house she said they don't want you there. Its kinda rude how she said it and I'm 14 too so. She make it seem like they don't really like me. And ok let me admit and say this the reason why I wrote this is I don't understand why they still act like that towards me like it doesn't feel like family oh my sis daughter and let me say this it seem and is that I'm the only one that they really hate or really not close to or really don't like. And I mean it. The other are so peaceful maybe independent so they don't care the other one are full of spoil and love,care, like, towards me is hate. But maybe understanding. Besides the fact I'm the the oldest niece out of 22 grandkids and niece or I don't understands why my mom would still always .

My Mom is overprotective. She still treats me like a child! Where do I begin? First of all, my Mom forbid me to watch movies above PG my whole life. I didn't get to watch Dumb and Dumber 2 because of the sexual content, Dracula Untold because of the violence, or Guardians of the Galaxy because of the bad language. She let me watch Left Behind and The Lone Ranger which was pretty violent. Don't get me started on how she didn't let me watch a lot of cartoons when I was a kid. When Adventure Time came out, I wasn't allowed to watch it. She made me turn it off after Finn said he was weird instead of jealous of Jake. On top of that, she made me turn off Gravity Falls because Grunkle Stan stole a watch. Then she didn't let me watch Kirby Right Back at Ya anymore because of an episode where the Chef tries to cook Kirby. Mom didn't let me watch Pokémon because Ash and Misty argued a lot. She STILL let me watch Arthur even though characters get into all sorts off fights in that show. I want to play M-rated games, but Mom won't let me play them because they're too violent. She doesn't even like me playing T games. Once she sees something she doesn't like, even the word "kill", she makes me turn the TV off, so I pretty much have to hide the majority of my games. I can go on and on about the kind of crap I have to deal with. I waited my whole life to turn 18 and do whatever the hell I want, just to find out that I can't. Isn't that sad? How do I convince my Mom to let me be an adult?

my mom & husband hate eachother's guts. My mom thinks he's a pyscho controller. He thinks she's crazy. this is how it started.. A long time ago i cheated on him while we were dating and i told him and he struck me and i eventually told my mom. My mom went crazy and forbid me to see him and harassed his ENTIRE family. I still saw him behind her back and she knew and she would go completely crazy every time i left and she'd try calling the cops on him many times. He doesn't want me or our family involved with my mother or he'll leave. i LOVE my husband. he's always been there for me. I don't know what to do. i know my mom's hasn't been the best mother to me but i want them both in my life.

My dad has a little girl cousin that's 13 years old, I'm older than her by 3 years, I'm 16! What does that make my dad's little cousin and us?

Hi, I am a 16 year old guy. My sister is always giving lectures, saying you nerf to go to college, you need to find out what you want to be, and she always wants me to tell her my plans for life. First of all, I don't do that. I do not tell people my plans or brag about them, because to me that is like syking myself out. I would whether just do it. I am interested in law. However, I also want to be self-employed. I was interested in either being a Private Investigator or a Binary Options Trader, one or the other. The number one thing that annoys me is that, MY SISTER DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING! She's a 29 year old hairstylist, no car, lives with an 80 year old man, and struggles to pay her phone bill every month. I don't know about you guys, but I have a very hard time listening to losers! I hate when she gives me lectures about life! What should I do? It's like she wants me to live up to her standards or what she wish she would have did. She's always like, "You need to go to college. You need to start thinking about what you want to be now, because it is getting too late." She loves to discourage me. Anything that I talk about doing that doesn't require an education, she tells me "I hope it works," but she's saying it in a sarcastic way like "I know it won't work for you. Why are you doing something so stupid?" I am really starting to hate her. What do you guys think that I should do? She's the type to discourage me, but the first one asking for money when I profit from my idea.

So today my parents were fighting, nothing too serious just a small fight. Dad was mad with me because I always stick up for my mom when they fight & RARLEY for him. Which I do notice but it's for a good reason. I try to stick up for my dad when they fight but really I find no reason for me to. Like today dad was making pizza & asked mom to check the pizzas at a certain time, well mom had a stomach ache & was in the bathroom sick & wasn't able to. Dad got mad because the pizza burned, so I stuck up for mom saying it wasn't her fault she got sick in the bathroom j couldn't go check the pizza. Anyway I'm so confused on what to do, I stick up for my mom for good reasons, i never really have to stick up for my dad, but he gets mad at me for sticking for mom more. What should I do?

so I'm 14 , a new freshmen in high school. less than a year ago my parents purchased a new house. my parents decided they wanted to decorate it nice so my mom hired An interior designer. she and the designer bought stuff and brought it back home, however my dad didn't like any of the stuff... so this resulted in a big fight. for the pat month they have been going back and fourth on it, their marriage has not always been the best in general so. anyways now my mom is super mad and is moving to an apartment but here's the thing: she says she will move but come back to the house in the morning at 7 to take me to school, then go back to the house to work (she has an in home job) then like eat dinner and stuff with me and my dad at home and then like she'll go home around 9 pm I'm just confused she said she'll be doing this everyday... I mean what's the point of her moving out then. she said she and my dad still love each other but she's trying to teach my dad a lesson and idk what lesson is coming from all of this but I'm just scared and confused with this.. any advice or something on how to stop my Kim from moving and is my mom being strange or is it me
