Im almost 17. I come from a overprotective family. My parents won't let me stay home alone even if my mom goes out for errands or grocery shops I have to go but if Im not up early my grandma stays in the house with me. If I go outside in the backyard with my dog my grandmother yells at me saying why Im outside all the time,come back inside etc. When I barely stepped outside a few seconds. I have to ask first before I do things. My parents don't trust me enough to walk to the library, park or to school only a few blocks away and there's only main streets so it's not like im going into bad neighborhoods. Since its summer break alot of kids and teens go out and there's tons of people walking/hanging around in the day. Can't take the bus either if I want to go to the mall. And when I ask my mom to take me she says no because she's busy. She doesn't even work. My dad is always away. I domt have other family members or friends who can help. I have only 1 younger sister so that's out of the question. I dont have my own room. I never did bad things. I dont do drugs or drink. Not even swearing in front of them. They think im naive and so innocent. It's probably because im small and look like a 13 year old. they think I wont stand up for myself when im alone but I do! I can't even have a job because no one is hiring close by my house for my parents to drive me. I know they love me but I cant be inside the house all the time! I always wanted to play sports too

Her parents divorced, her momleft her with the father only to be mistreated by his new family. At age 7 her mom returned and brought her to Aruba where she was molested by the step-father. Her mother stayed with him and my mom was forced to live with him. When she was 19 she had me. My father turned out to be an alcoholic so she left him. A year later my mother met someone who promised to take care of her and give her a better life. We moved to the US. He turned out to be manipulative, and lying. His ex-wife and children terrorized us. My mom became extremely depressed and doped up on antidepressants. My step-father took good care of me. My mother slept all day.I felt my step father was invested in the family and my mother just wanted to leave and be on her own. I was too young and selfish to understand her pain. After 10 years of marriage my mom and step father divorced when he told us he wanted to marry a prostitute from Dominican Republic. I was 13 and devastated. I became depressed, and obese. My mother was diagnosed with kidney failure from the stress. She lost her business. We had to learn to fend for ourselves and its been a struggle. I eventually lost the weight and have been trying to build a life that I am happy with but my mom seems to not be able to make progress. She tells me that I am selfish and I should help her more. I am sorry I m so selfish.

All my life I referred myself as "white" because I thought if I wasn t black it meant I was white. My parents got divorced when I was very young and I only recently found out my dad is Muslim. so basically my mom is Jewish and my dad is Muslim. They were both born in Azerbaijan and I was born in Israel. I don t know what I am and it confuses me so much and my mom never wants to talk about it so I can t even ask her so that sucks. Can someone please give me some information because I have no knowledge about this topic and I would really love to know. Thank you :)

The only time my dad ever speaks to me is to b*tch about what I didn't do right, if I'm 'talking too loud,' or telling me to do chores. My mom calls me a stupid little b*tch from hell, says I'm useless, she says she would put me in foster care, calls me down syndrome and f*cked up... I can go on. I finally exploded at her (through Facebook) telling her how dysfunctional our family is and last night she actually asked me to watch a movie alone together and said she wouldn't go on electronics. Well, I got a movie and then she went on the phone and was talking 15 minutes into it so I went downstairs and I cried myself to sleep because I thought she was actually giving me attention. If they're not yelling at me and blaming me for everything, I'm bring excluded and ignored when I try to talk and tell stories. I began self harming and she found out and doesn't care. I CANNOT tell a therapist for a very serious reason. I would but my reason is very, very important. My mom doesn't let me hang out with friends. U rarely can leave the house. I feel like suicide is the only way out. I want to die, but I'm scared to fail, I'm scared it'll hurt and I just... I want to die but I don't at the same time... what do I do?

My mother always Compares me to my dad when I get frustrated. There's always frustrates me more and I don't feel that it's okay, it only makes me want to act out more. What should I do?

This is the last chance I have before I'll be doing work through the summer holidays next and the coming years. I made a plan a few months ago to build a gaming PC when the summer comes. I'm 14, I can't get a job, what do I do? Ii ask my parents. They said they cannot provide me the money, which I understand. I'm doing CS:GO trading, I made a lot of money but they think it's really suspicious and don't approve of my use of the computer constantly. I sold my consoles today, they were old, for £60. I'm a good student, got mostly As and Bs in my reports and exams, get awards and even beat the whole year in 2 subject's exams. So how am I meant to get money? I'm worried they think I'm going to go into drug dealing... Lemonade stands and garage sales are no use to me since my parents would never let me. Plus, they make little to no money. Babysitting, lawn mowing, car washing. Nope nope nope I'm 14, the legal age in the UK is 16.

Well, i have a physical this tuesday for cheer tryouts, and my dad is taking me.last year they check my private end, but my mom was there. Will they check my private end with my dad there

My wife's mother Joyce (my mother in law) is young, in her early 40s. She has a great sense of humor. She is also an avid golfer. I was at a party at her house recently and people were talking to her about her love of golf. Someone ask her who her favorite golf partner was. She said "Bob (me) because I get to play with his balls". Everyone had a good laugh. Someone said "Is it OK with Bob that you play with his balls". She said he doesn't care if he is not using them and I really get a thrill when his balls go in the hole. Everyone got an even bigger laugh at her comment. Should I clue her in that people are taking what she is saying the wrong way or does she know what she is saying and just being funny?

So my sister and I live near Disneyland and I decided to get a year pass since a bunch of my friends wanted to go with me on different dates but I asked my sister to get one with me so we could go over the year together (I don t think it s fun going alone haha). At first, she wasn t sure and she said she d think about it. Well my sister makes cakes for her friends and she got in a big bind and needed my help baking so she said since she knew I already had such a busy schedule she said she would get a year pass with me if I made time in my crazy life to help her. So I told her I would and we shook on it and I bought my pass before she did when I went with my first set of friends. Well it s been a while since we shook on it and brought the matter up wondering when we should go and she basically rolled her eyes and said "Really? You really expect me to still get a pass?" I told her yes we shook on it remember? And then she continued to say, "I don t even like disneyland. I ve been there so many times I d rather do something else, but if you force me to get one, I will because I shook on it.." It is just me or is that really messed up? Of course I don t want to go with somebody who clearly doesn t want to be there that s no fun...but she said she would and now she s basically guilt tripping me to get out of it. Also it makes me feel like she was just using me when she was making the cakes and saying whatever to get me to help her. How do you think I should approach this?

we had a close mother-son relationship but she got stressed and stuff and she felt like her being my only support when i was down wasnt enough so she went to the dean to find extra help for me because she "cares". And it all went downhill. He didnt like when i called her mom in emails and stuff or talked to her about non school stuff... And i talked to her in private and she said i cant call her mom anymore and i asked if she could still be my mother figure she said no. But she could be my mentor. What did she mean?

Hi I'm 16 years old and I got into an accident with my dads car about 3 weeks ago I slipped and hit the medal fence on the side of the road messed up my dads car pretty bad, my dad was just happy that I was not hurt. My Dad still offers me to drive once in a while but I refuse, every time I'm in a car turning while those medal fences are on the road I still get flashbacks of what happened, I really want to drive but at the same time I never want to touch a steering wheel ever again. What do you think I should do? thanks.

(Apologies for Life Story) My older sister and I have always argued, even when we were kids. But, now that we're older, its gotten way worse. I got older, grew different opinions on things from her and we just generally don't get along. There was I time, i admit, where I wasn't the kindest towards her. She mothered me a lot and it ticked me off and I was always bitter towards her. However, that was three years ago, and despite both our 'efforts' we just hate each others presence. Just today, I asked her to get something for me, but, assuming she didn't hear me, I got up to get it myself and it made her upset. I asked her to calm down, which pissed her off more to where she stormed away and talked badly of me to her friend over the phone. Then, when I attempted to talk to her and apologize, she got even angrier at me, thinking I was trying to start some sort of argument. Its gotten to points where just one word pisses her off and she refuses to even listen to me when I admit myself to be wrong, which I have trouble on my own doing. We've been in a lot of fights, but the past few years have been pretty horrible. She feels like I'm some kind of bully and like I purposely look for arguments, and I feel like she's spoiled and immature. It's just getting ridiculous, even my mother doesn't know what to do anymore. She always talks about how ready she is to move out and live on her own, and I'm scared that if we don't patch things up, we'll never talk to each other. We used to apologize and talk things through and promise to not do or call each other certain things again, but the next day, we'd get right back to being bitter to one another, now if I try to reason with her, she gets angrier with me. I feel Things have been especially bad since she's been getting closer with her friend, whom has two sisters close to my age that she generally talks badly about. I wouldn't mention that to her however, because I know it'd end badly. I don't want to just give up. I know we both still care, we just have trouble expressing our feelings. The only time we really do get along without any problems is when My mother is around, since we both has respect for her. Its not like we can't talk like normal people, its just, we can't be around the other for too long without an argument ensuing. Its especially difficult for us not to argue when something is already pissing the other off, which is what I think started our argument today. I'm not totally innocent either. I let my pig head and sarcasm out when I'm angry or the slightest bit upset, which I'm trying to work on. I'm trying to work on my apologies as well, because she feels they are never genuine. I'm not saying I want to be best friends or anything, I just want us to be able to get along enough to were we can calmly resolve our arguments. Also, again, apologies over the overload of info.. I'm stressing out a bit over this. I really do want things to be better.

My Father and I, never had a close relationship. I'm a 14 yr old girl, and I feel like I'm going to regret everything later on.My grandfather [My Dad's Father] would always be like a second father to me.I would always go to my grandfather's for days. I would sleepover, watch movies, go out for dinner/lunch, play games, play the piano together. We would have alot a fun, and he is my favorite of the family. My mother would always aggrevate me, becuase my grandfather was my favorite. She always get mad,becuase I didn't spend enough time with her father. But the problem is that it's hard to see her father, because he's an elder. My mother is sometimes rude to my father's side of the family. She would make assumptions about his family calling them miserable people. I hated how she spoke to my father's family that way. Anways, she would always get mad that I spend to much time on my father's side. But my grandfather is like a second father. My father would never ask if he wanted to go see a movie or go take a walk. Which is really ******* sad. But my father would always ask my brother if he wanted to go play paintball or fix something for him. They would always play RPG games together. Yes I am jealous. He never asked me to do anything together.I would always do things with my mom.I want a closer relationship with my father. I'm tired of living 14 years of my life always with my momand grandpa. The only who is closest to my father is my grandfather.

I had a tough childhood. Moved here from Russia when I was 4. My father was abusive to me often becuase I had severe ADHD and didn't behave well and wasn't proficient in school as he wanted. I'd get whipped with a belt, kicked, cussed at. Same with my mother but to a lesser extent. The physcial abuse continued until I was 17 and he'd gotten 3 CPS reports. He still puts me down emotionally though. I've also been bullied by other kids in elementary school and middle school. Now I've hit my former friend, beat my ex boyfriend ( who was slightly weaker than me physically ) and put my hands around his neck once. I have hit my father back before two and hit everyone in my ****** up family. I've also randomly picked a fight with 2 women in public. I'm so angry at my family and Russians. Russians are savages and I want GENOCIDED AND WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!! They're savages!! I also want to get revenge on my family for breaking me. Is this damage permanent? I'm a 20 year old woman with a medical marijuana card in California, where should I move to? How do I stop homocidal desires? I'm gonna go **** someone up if I DONT GET ******* HELP!! WHY IS EVERYONE I SEE A ******* SOCIOPATH IWTH NO EMPATHY?? Kind of lost my temper there I'm sorry. I get like that when I've been walking in my horrible negative thoughts for a while.

My whole life has been unfortunate. My neice died while I was babysitting her. My grandmother died. I lost my job and my apartment. I'm back staying with my mother. I can't find a job for anything. My boyfriend just broke up with me. I can't take this anymore; I just want out. I just don't know what to do.

im 13, shes 16. for about 4 years, she's been physically abusing me. not just play fighting like siblings do. she's bipolar and loses her temper quickly if i say something wrong or anything at all that annoys her. she'll take whatever she has in her hands and she'll beat me with it. sometimes. she'll use her legs and fists to beat me. she has so sympathy and does't care how much she hurts me. yesterday, she demanded i do something in a nasty tone and i simply and jokingly said "don't talk to me like that" because thats what she always says to me when i talk in a sarcastic tone. then i asked for an apology and thats when she grabbed her phone and slammed the corner of it into my knee. i now have a big ugly swollen bruise and it hurts to walk. last month, she took my phone and laptop and hid them in her room because she was mad at me for no reason! she locked her room so i tried to get in and she opened it, chased me and started full on beating me to the ground. she kicked me and punched me with no mercy at all. she took my phone and beat me with it in the face and head. she also snapped my pinkie finger back and severely sprained it. the next day i had 2 large bumps on my head. she never apologized and i ignored her for the next few weeks. im so scared of her, she's the reason why i started self harming 4 years ago and to this day. ive attempted suicide but she stopped me which i dont understand. why would she stop me if all she does is treat me poorly? i asked her why she hated me and she said she didnt. i dont get her. i try to fight back but she fights back harder. she beats me with a powerful force

My mom just told me that I can't read thee books that I ordered online. These are books similar to "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" but she says that these are too adult for me. My Uncle still get me friendship bracelets that I can make with my sister (she's turning 20). Lastly, my aunt and my grandma still pinch my cheeks, call me their "little alligator", and ask me if I want to watch a Disney movie with them (usually the Little Mermaid). What can I do to make them stop treating me like this? I forgot to add some things in here. I appreciate that they get me gifts and that they love me, but if I try to tell them that I don't like something, they start to lecture me and that lecture always ends with a threat. I know I'm not an adult, but I'm not a kid either. I'm a teenager, but they don't even acknowledge that.

My neighbor a female in her mid twenties has horses and I work ride and barrel race and help her out and instead of paying me she bought me my own horse me and her are going to pick up 4 hours away and last night we were sitting outside talking about it because we haven t got to talk about it much and it was 1 in the morning and my dad came out (he knew I was outside) pissed off because I was outside on the steps and he said come inside so I did and he was pissed because he won t sleep unless I m inside so he said I screwed him over by being outside this morning he said in the winter I bet you won t last with horses and then later he said if you work with horses that s where me and you part ways you can cook clean and work for yourself (I m 13!) He said I m to sale the house and move to my work and you can move in your neighbors barn Also the reason he thinks I won t stick with horses is because my brother s (in their thirtys) had a horse and never rode it when they were young My question is what do I do I love those horses they are my passion. Ever since I have work with them my anxiety has gone down and my depression has lessened. I don t want to lose my dad or the horses help Please no rude answers

My standard for women is way too high. I want to date someone like twilight sparkle. Every day my mom goes in my room and tells me to stop watching my little pony and then she tell s me to move out and get a girlfriend. It s not my fault I am in love with my waifu twilight sparkle but stupid waifu steal flash sentry had to steal her away >:( I never had any sexual experience I Once masturbated to princess molestia it is a very good my little pony fanfic.

My mom is always outraged at me. Everything could be going perfectly fine and then she will yell at me for something. She is always finding something to blame me for. One thing that she loves to do is whenever something doesn't go her way, her day is completely ruined. I am one of those people who is always nice and respectful until someone is rude or disrespectful to me. She tells me not to do something, and then moments later, I will see her do something that she just told me not to. I can't say anything about what she does to her because she never listens and then she punishes me. She thinks that whenever I know something that she doesn't, that I am trying to make her sound stupid. I am a very intelligent person (14 years old) and I really don't know what to do. It is so frustrating. One moment I love my mom with everything I have, and another, she has me scratching my head for answers. Please answer. 10 points

Would I be born to the different mother or father?

My mom is always so outraged at everything I do. I help her with everything I can, and in one of those people who is nice to everyone. She always tells me not to do things, and then later I will see her doing the exact thing she said not to do. She gets mad when I talk back, but it's for good reason. Sometimes she says things that are so untrue I can't even stand it. One thing that I hate if one thing doesn't go her way, then her day is absolutely ruined! It really is terrible because then she yells at me and my siblings for things that didn't even involve her. Another thing, she never does anything wrong (or so she says) if anything is ever out of place or something, then she will blame it on me or my sibling. It's so frustrating and if I say anything about it, she punishes me. What should I do?

So basically My friends sister is having a Quince soon and me &my friend are helping her plan it. We're all considering All of Me by John Legend but using Max schnieders Cover on it for the Father daughter dance. Their dad lives in a diffrent state but is flying over for her party so we can't really talk to him about it since we don't kno when he's busy or not. Is this song a good choice?

When I was little I remember my dad pushing me down the stairs leading to our garage multiple times, he also threw me against the door, rubbed soap in my eyes, and once he pined me against the wall and covered my nose and my mouth so I couldn't breath and I was trying to scream "I can't breath!" and after a bit he uncovered me and said "what are you screaming about?" and I said "I couldn't breath!" and he said "you where fine" and I remember him doing these sort of things often. It was because I use to make him late to work (on accident) and my mom had already left for work so she wasn't around to stop him. When I told my mom about what he had done she would always say "Well what did you do to make him do that?" My dad also threatened to hit and punch me a lot and I got really scared. But later my mom and dad started leaving for work at the same time so he didn't get a chance to do anything anymore. The last time he did anything was 2 or 3 years ago when he pushed me down the stairs again and I fell and my mom saw him do that for the first time and she yelled at him. In 4th grade I told my best friend about it and she told the teacher and I got to sent to the princeipals to tell them about it. I told them everything and nothing ended up happening after that and so that makes me question if I was aactually being abused. I don't think he ever left and cuts, bruises, or marks, is it still abuse though or is it not?

My son is 17 now and I have know about this spot under the stairs panel for about 5 years when he hid a playboy in it. It was at first just some cigarettes and alcohol and then it turned into weed, now I found about an ounce of heroin, a zip lock back of crack and coke, 5 grand, a glock and what i think is an ak 47, and a Big L mix tape. I dont want him to think im a snoop but I feel like I might have to confront him about this

I filled my sports bottle with 3 cups of vodka. The bottle has been sitting in the same spot for about a week. This morning I saw the bottle near the kitchen sink empty. She claims that she was going around the house collecting dishes to clean & she thought it was water 😑 I don't believe her. There were still a lot of dishes around the house & she never touches my dishes because I told her I'll take care of my own dishes. She does a lot of dumb passive things when she's nervous or upset & yesterday I told her to turn down her loud music at 9am. Then I told her to stop unplugging the HTML cord. Then I told her to wipe up her blood from the toilet seat and make sure she flushes the toilet. I wasn't trying to pick on her but I know she takes things personal. The vodka was only $20. But I hadn't even had a sip. I want her to pay me back. Is it mean to ask her to pay me for the vodka? Also, she a little sneak. She lies a lot! I wouldn't be surprised if she stole the vodka and hid it in her room somewhere. She's not 21 yet so she can't buy her own.

I have this friend who I know is abused mother and step-father. He has no other family since his father is dead and his grandparents either live out of country or are senile I know I'm his only friend so I need to help him, but I don't know what to do or where to go. He's 17, almost 18

I am at a summer house and have to go back home to take a course that will help me with my career and I got a good deal for the price so I shouldnt miss it and my parents don't want me to go back with them tomorrow so I can stand with my grandma and little brother I am not eating as a rejection to their will so I can hurt them that way I want to go really bad even if by force Please advise me

I'm getting tired of being a bystander to my little sister's gossip. She keeps talking about me behind my back to my little brother. She constantly complains about me to him. She also gossips to my mother about me. She's getting carried away! She also tells people that I'm self-absorbed, and self-centered and that I think I'm so beautiful before I meet them. So when I meet them they are rude and mean to me. She's been bullying me growing up and I have stood up to her. At one point, she had all my friends isolate me. If they didn't isolate me, then she would bully them. But every time I stand up to her, she gets worse. She gets more in my face and teases my weight. She also starts saying that I don't do anything for myself. I can't tell my parents because they are no help. They are actually abusive themselves. What do I do?

She gets mad when I spend time with my Dad and step-Mom because she dislikes them since she divorced my Dad.

I feel like it was so much my fault because she says she left him to protect me and my brother.

I'm 14 and I know teens go through a "rebellious" phase and they "hate" their parents. But I've seen how my friends act around their families and how my family is, is way different from theirs. My mom has completely changed, everything she didn't care before, she suddenly cares and yells at me. My mom obviously favors my older sister over me and never realized when I'm getting bullied by my sister and when I'm about to cry. She always complains about me not communicating with my family and is always blaming me and my "obsession" with electronics. Which is not true! It's because she never pays attention to me and never makes an effort. The reason I'm on my electronics is because my internet friends are what keep me sane. My sister always gives me the same insult speech, saying that "why are you part of this family" "you're so selfish and a *****!" Etc. and she hits me and she gets even more annoyed when I ignore her. Because I'm always told to ignore the hate. I never talk back to any of them because I know they're just gonna get more pissed. And when my sister hits me, I always think it's child abuse because I'm only 14 and she's 18. There's more to it. I'm always contemplating whether I should kill myself or self harm. Which I almost and did do. I used to scratch myself and pull my hair very badly and almost cut myself. The only thing that's stopping me from killing myself is my internet friends and the hope that future beings something better.

Hi, I m 14 and dont know how to swim. I m going with family but most of my family goes to far with things and last year they flipped the jet ski which thank God i wasnt on it. But this year we are going again and idk if I should go because they always try to convince me. Thanks

Hi guys. I am 14 years old and my parents did not give me my allowance. That wouldn't be a problem if they would buy me ome things i want sometimes. But they very rarely buy me things. What do you think?

If I dont show up for events or distance myself from them, I am "causing drama, being bitter, and holding a grudge." The last time I saw this person or her mother I was screamed at "you had the audacity to ask my kid all sorts of questions". It seems like I cant win. How do you get out of this?

I'm 14, will soon be in 9th grade, and I'm a guy. My summer has been SO boring. I'm not allowed to leave my house at all whatsoever. The only time I'm even allowed to go outside is to take my dog out. I got grounded from video games for the rest of the summer because my dad thought Iraq was in Africa and I assured him it was in Asia, but since he can't stand being wrong he grounded me. I know that sounds like a joke but it's really not. The only thing I ever do is sleep and watch TV all day but that's always boring. School is 12 days away and I'm so excited because my house is like freaking prison. I can't invite anybody over and I'm just so bored. And don't say go out with friends or find a sport because as I already said, not allowed. Please help, school is coming slower than Christmas and I need help. Thanks.

I love my mom a lot, she came to our house to help with a newborn baby and currently lives with us temporarily. She really doesn't respect any sort of rules my husband and i have. She opens the windows while the AC is on and we have huge bills. When I ask her to please keep the windows closed she asks, are you that cheap? Today she left the stinky fish wet food for a cat on the porch, though i asked her not to do so because stray cats pee on our door because of that, marking their property. She constantly leaves the basement door open so the cat brings mice inside the house. Today she came in to our bedroom and said that it stinks there and we should not bring the baby in it. I replied that it stinks because she leaves cat food everywhere. She started to yell so loud that baby got hysterical. She called us names and said that since she helps to clean and watch after the baby she will have her own rules.... My husband told her to shut up and she threatened to punch him and break our dishes. the craziest problem however that she takes the baby out of her car seat while we drive when the baby cries. She says she cant let the baby cry, it is bad for her nerves. She just says i hold her steady and when i try to explain that she risks my babys life she again starts to yell at me. this is insane....how to handle such people???

My mom lost my dad about 6 years ago. And after he passed I spent a lot of time with her to help keep her mind off of it. But since getting a job and being in a 10 year relationship I don't have a lot of time. But I make sure every other weekend we have Sunday dinner and spend the day doing something as a family. And me and boyfriend live with her so occasionally conversations here and there. Sometimes when we have days off together we go to the store and I suggest thins to do and she doesn't want to. So he has been saying no one wants to spend time with her. Nobody likes her everyone is fake and she says she is depressed but do not want to talk to professional because they won't help she says. And I'm the only kid that calls everyday that helps out with stuff that says hello when she gets off work every night but how am I the one in her words who is going to take it the hardest when she dies because I don't want to spend time with her. I feel I spend a good enough amount of time. And I suggest going places like the zoo or the movies or whatever and she says no at the last minute then complains we never go anywhere

So I live with my brother and sister in law. My brother makes a lot of money so we have a house down the shore on the bay. My sister in law and my niece and I are going down but I want to take my own car however my sister in law said no. She said next summer I can drive down when I get more experience. I told her I didn't want to be cooped up but she said I could use her car if I want to go somewhere.

It's fun to see my cousin going to my house and hanging out with him but... When his smaller brother comes with him its horrible, let me tell you about it My cousin's smaller brother sucks, he drives me crazy, he acts dumb and hits me for no reason, when I tell him to stop he says stupid stuff, when I tell him that's bad he answers stupidly, he makes me in trouble and makes stupid noises, he doesn't respect my privacy, and closes the lights of the bathroom when I am inside, he also harasses me and calls me stupid, his bigger brother doesn't do any of that, unlike him he learns from mistakes, and listens to grown people, while his smaller brother is a total jerk, he lies when I tell mom, but it gets even worse. I can't hangout with my cousin, why? Not because he is annoying, it's even worse, my cousin becomes like him, my cousin sometimes tell him that it's mean what he does or it's annoying, but that doesn't makes sense to his smaller brother because he is dumb, not only that, my cousin goes annoying when his smaller brother is there, he keeps insulting me, he keeps harassing me, he makes stupid sounds, so I really want to have some fun, my cousin is coming in an hour so plz help me

Normally this wouldn t be a problem but I know they are going to ask who the dad is and the dad wants to cut all ties because he s "not ready to be a father" I don t know how to tell them because I live with them so I have to tell them. I just am afraid they will be mad and yell and I m scared.

I'm 16 yo male and I still sleep with my mother recently I've been experiencing some nightmares and sleepless nights which is made me think that I should leave my moms bed my sister won't let me in and my father snores very loud so the kitchen is my only place to sleep. is sleeping in the kitchen normal?

My wife and I finalized the adoption 2 years ago. We've been apart of his life for the last 4, and he's a great kid. In every sense of the term. He was charged with a felony(I prefer to leave the details out), and he's 17, so he was tried as an adult. It's been 5 months now since he's been gone, we went to see him twice in the first month, and he couldn't look either of us in the eyes. My wife wants nothing to do with him. I talked to him over the phone briefly a month and a half ago, but she hasn't answered his calls, and insists that I don't. He tried calling once after the last time I talked to him, and hasn't tried again since. He has had a hard life, he's been through to much, and holds it together, and is happy 99% of the time. He's very positive, and finds the good in everything. But the other 1%, he self-destructs with everything he has in him. He's a good kid, but he made a mistake, and it's going to make his life so much harder. My wife is very stubborn and I've tried over and over again to talk this through with her, and I'm not getting anywhere with it. I'm not sure how to go about the situation, I don't think he deserves this. Any advice? (sorry the details would not post) He should be able to come home in 3 years. There were no women or children involved, and nobody was killed. It's not my place to explain further. I hope that covered enough of what you were looking for It wasn't premeditated

When his best friend was at our house, we hooked up and my brother found out because his friend was telling everyone, and exaggerating the story!! My brother is mad AT ME and not really his friend.

so basically, i found out that my dad was cheating on my mom by accidentally looking at his texts. I know that eventual something will happen and my parents are most likely in coarse for a divorce. the thing is, my mother's job is not enough to support this me (14) and my brother(16) getting through high school. currently she has a low salary at a radio station and my father is the main source of our money. i doubt that my mother could easily get a better job because she isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer to put it bluntly.I have know about this issue with my dad for months now and it has kept me up whole nights in a row. a also do not know how to convince my mom, because she is clueless to what my dad has done.

I live with my grandma. I skipped a grade so that I could graduate a year early. Now that it s summer my plan was to take a year off of school and get a job and save up for several months so that when I turn 18 I can move out. I just told my grandma my plans and she went a absolutely crazy. She was screaming, saying that I m lazy and she s so "heartbroken" that I am wasting a year of education. But I plan on going to college next fall after I ve moved out? It s only ONE year. I really cannot see why that is such a bad thing. Now she is so mad that she is threatening to kick me out before I turn 18 once she thinks I have enough money, either that or I have to start paying her rent? Is that even legal? I m only 17. She is so irrational I can t deal with it. And now I m not even allowed to go hangout with my friends because she s THAT pissed at me. I ve lived like this my whole life, restricted and under so much pressure to be a picture perfect child. And she wonders why I m so eager to get out of here.

I honestly masterbate every morning since I was 12 years old.

This is not the first letter he has written to try to apologize but the first were he has asked me to come see him. The Rape took place 17 years ago and has left a mark on my life that I cant wash off even with years of therapy. He told me he doesn't have long. He is dying and has pancreatic cancer....my family says I shouldn't.. my mom says no please and wont say anything more..the reason why I am conflicted on this is because the man who raped me is also my father....some of my friends said this may provide closier...my therapist said its my decision but she agrees it may provide closier....should I see him in person? Could this help me come to terms with it? Jack- as i understand what you say. It sounds like you think I am a bad person because I wont forgive him. If you have ever been raped then you would understand why I cant forgive it, if you had ever been raped by your father you would doubly understand why i cant just forgive him..

I'm 17 and I can't take my mom anymore. She doesn't let me stay home from school EVER. She's always on me about doing my homework and getting good grades, when I basically have all Cs, which is average. And anytime I tell her to lay the f*ck off, she cries. I know she's just trying to get sympathy. I make sure to tell my dad that she was being horrible to me. Maybe I exaggerate, but she deserves it for being so annoying and naggy. I've basically got my dad on my side, so he frequently yells at her, which is fun to watch. But still she won't get off my back, and I've reached my breaking point. I'm thinking about reporting her to a school counselor for child abuse. I can say that she hit me when I was younger. And my dad gets in bar fights sometimes and has the marks to show it, so I can say she hits him too. I know this may be extreme, but I'm so sick of her nagging me. And you know what? Payback's a b*tch.

I am a mother of a 17 year old and we are currently living in an outer ring suburb of Chicago. I raised my son to be Christian, ethical, s,art, and conservative. When he turned 16 and entered a high end high school, he started to act differently. It all started when the blacks got admitted to his high school. My son has different friends than before and they all listen to this black ghetto music, which I disapprove since it promotes gangs and violence. One day, his black friends wanted him to hang out with them in the mall, and I said no because his friends are gang-inspired and I found DRUGS on his room. I called the local police on his black friends and I told them that they have weed, but it always get delayed for some reason. I am tired of my son listening to ghetto music and I want him to stop doing drugs and acting black. He has stole money from me, which I was using for his college funds. During dinner, he sings ghetto songs and beats on the table. I hired my priest to cleanse his black friends and get them exorcism kind of thing to get the "ghettoness" from their spirit. As a mother, I am grieving that my son will act like his race and come back to normal. Did I fail as a mother who provided everything to him? Sorry for the typos.

I would LOVE to write out a big explanation for all of this, but I think bullet points would be the best idea. Please help me, guys! Mom: 1. Calls me names. 2. Tells me to die. 3. Tells me sometimes she hopes I die. 4. Screams at me in public. 5. Used to hit me a lot when I was younger for getting wrong answers when we reviewed tests. (I was like 9 or younger) 6. Takes a lot of my money for herself. 7. Constantly very mad at me. 8. Tells me she is sorry but then starts being a ***** again two minutes later. 9. Makes me do stuff I GENUINELY don't want to do. 10. Dismissive of my feelings. 11. Constantly threatens me. 12. She stopped hitting me, but she still does call me awful names and do bad stuff that is not physical. 13. Seems to care more about her tv shows then me being happy. I would LOVE to write more, but I am pretty sure you can already get the picture. Dad: 1. Barley even knows me. 2. Basically hates me, even though my sister and mom keep telling me he doesn't. 3. Always prefers to give my sister money instead of me. 4. Always gives my sister a LOT of money and barely gives me. 5. Last time I traveled was four years ago, mainly cause of him. 6. I barely even know him. 7. Screams at me a lot. 8. Doesn't seem to care about my grades. 9. Doesn't even seem to know what grade I'm going to be in. Same thing as before, I think you can figure out the rest of the picture. Are they?

Im a 17 year old girl (with no bro or sis) for some reasons we travelled to Iran with my mom and we are living in my grandma's house with my aunt (my mom's sis) ,having a lot of difficulties because my school and everything changed and having trouble with mygrandma and etc (my mom loves them) i realy want my mom to buy a house, she has the money but idk why she delays, i want to have my own bedroom, im soo angry, (IM SUPER SENSITIVE) I cant live this kind of lifestyle.. :( I need help or advice to calm down cuz i really cant and after 1month my school opens and still i have no bedroom to settle in and im sooo feddup

I have a blanket over me so no one can see or smell what I am trying to take out.

I just imagined a scene where my teacher who i hate told me something really bad and i'm so angry here i'm shaking but it didn't happened?? Once i imagined my mom and my dad had an argument where my dad was really aggressive, and then i was angry at him all day but they never fight and my dad is a really calm person and that fight only happened in my head. Is this normal?

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm wrong about my mom. If it's really right for me to think she's an awful person - or if the things she has done are excusable, and just a part of life. I would like to tell you some of the situations that have stuck with me. There is no doubt that they are bad - but are they out of the "normal" range of the arguments children inevitably get in with their parents? I would just like to know if I really have a reason for being so stressed out. I legitimately want to die because of how she treats me - but is this a normal response to her behavior, or am I just whining, and am an immature brat who should be grateful? Here are a few of those bad times (we argue and I feel like poop on a daily basis, but these are just some that stick out): #1 - Heifer I remember one day, when my mom was yelling at me for who knows what. I probably screamed back and argued too, but the stress was too much and I couldn't handle it. So I took my entire bottle of sleeping pills (prescribed for insomnia), just so I could go to sleep for sure and not have to deal with her. A part of me was hoping I would die from an overdose, though I doubted it. So then, they started working, and I had been quiet for a long time. She was still yelling at me. I would say "Okay" in response, but my speech was slurred. She asked me why I was talking like that, and I said it's because I took all of my pills. She rolled her eyes and said "Don't lie, you fat heifer." [Will continue in details] #2 - Semi Death Threat This one probably doesn't count. But it's another one of those things I'm asking about. When I was 7, I got in an argument with my mom. I think I was complaining about wanting to spend time with my grandpa and not wanting to see her anymore? I was just being a huge brat. She then took me in the car and drove for a long time, out in the middle of nowhere. I asked her where we were going and she said "Somewhere with no witnesses" I don't even remember anything after that. #3 - Constant Hitting My mom has never broken anything of mine. I do believe it's normal to get spanked for bad behavior. But when I used to argue with her, she would always start grabbing the remote or a hairbrush and hit me with it to make me shut up. I mean...it wasn't for me doing something bad. It was always just arguing. #4 - Suicidal Thoughts When I try to tell her about how she makes me want to die, she doesn't take it seriously...That's the main reason for my questions...
