Posted: 23 Mar 2017 02:10 PM PDT The fact that my parents take money from me. I feel like theyre unintentionally kicking me while I'm down. And that I would be ten times better without them. And I'd be more confident. I think my mom grew up with coeependency issues with her mom. And is why she expects me to give my all to her when I dont have much to give her. I'm on minimum wage and yet I participate in paying my parents' bills. I don't believe anyone who stays with their parents shouldnt pay bills. I'm all for a formal transaction. But my parents wont acknowledge that when they ask me for money spontaneously. Ive explained and yet they refuse to understand that I have already tied that money over to something I personally need paid. And they expect me to forget my own responsibility at the momment in order to cater to theirs. Its highly inconvenient and is what I mean by "people getting in my way". But I digress. I feel I have no choice but to leave my parents place and live in a car. At least then I'd have more control over my own. Too much to write. The rest is in the photo attached. |
Question: Is this abuse from step-dad? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 01:36 PM PDT He doesn't legally own me, but when I was younger he used to beat me and my sister and brother with butter knives on our hands because we weren't getting our ABC's correct all the way, he used to make us act as if we we were sitting against the wall for up to an hour (still does to this day) when he gets mad he punches holes in the wall and has hit my mom and made her cry a couple of times. Also threatens to beat our asses over the SMALLEST things. I'm a 15 year old girl and sometimes I feel uncomfortable around him. I want to report him, but I'm scared of what he'll do...he never talks to his real kids like that, neither does he ever put his hands on them. Us step kids get in trouble for everything his real kids do..? |
Question: Should I have children given the following circumstances? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 01:28 PM PDT I live in a middle income country (income: 3k per year on average). For comparison, USA is 54k per year. I am aware that if I have children here, they will not be able to compete internationally no matter how smart and educated they are without triple effort compared to children born in high income countries. I myself am part of the upper class of this country (I earn 15k a year) and have good education credentials from abroad, but I don't want to make my children have to live through what I have to get what I currently have. Too much stress and it is just not worth it, if I was born in Germany I would have achieved a lot more than I have. Lack of money and lack of quality elementary education cost me a lot of stress and forced me to attend a lower tier university than I could otherwise have. Still, I managed to get my phd in an average german university (current global ranking around 500). I could have stayed in Germany and worked there, but I do not have german citizenship and I returned to help my own country. If I ever permanently move to Germany I could reconsider the children aspect but at the moment I have no such intentions. If you were me, what would you do? |
Question: How do I talk to my non-bilingual Asian parents about cyberbullying? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 01:14 PM PDT My parents do not speak English and they have no idea what technology really is. I just discovered that my pre-teen sister is cyberbullying someone from a video game. She even created a group that specifically targets that person and she is encouraging others to say mean things to them. My parents have no idea that cyberbullying is against the law in the US because they grew up in a foreign country that has no such laws against kids bullying each other online. They can't read or understand any English either so I can't show them what my sister wrote. She's only 10 and I know it's none of my business but I don't want her to end up in big trouble. I tried telling them that my sister is just simply doing inappropriate things online but they said it doesn't matter. They're really uneducated about the modern world. I know it's not anyone's fault because different countries have different environments and how their parents taught them. My sister on the other hand won't stop bullying because she thinks it's "fun". She's been taunting this person for a while now and she says that she likes to make them cry and try to refrain other online players from being friends with that person. If someone talks to them, she will ruin it by saying mean things that are untrue. She's not even in middle school yet and she doesn't know the consequences of cyber crimes and stuff. Since I can't really stop her, my parents need to be educated about this. |
Question: When a survivor of a deceased person dies, are they still survivors? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 01:06 PM PDT When someone dies, their obituary shows their survivors, or relatives still alive. When the relative dies, the obituary of the first one to die does not change and the first one to die precedes the second in death, but will the survivor who died technically still be a survivor? |
Question: How do I explain to my parents that my sister is a cyberbully? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 12:43 PM PDT My 10 year old sister likes to make people feel bad on this virtual world thing. She calls them bad names like stupid, ugly, dumb, baby, sissy, crybaby, etc. I know they're not the worst things that you can call someone else, but it's a pretty big deal for some kids. She created a "popular girls group" where they're specifically excluding one person from joining them and targeting them. That player has asked her and her online friends to stop it, but they won't stop. I know it's none of my business and it's just a game for kids, but she doesn't understand the consequences of cyberbullying and taunting someone. My parents are Asian immigrants and they didn't grow up in a first world country. They have no idea what technology really is and I don't think they would understand how much damage cyberbullying can be. I just don't want our parents to be on the news and in big trouble if another kid tries to harm themselves. It's harder to explain to parents who have no knowledge about the media and didn't grow up in the same country as us They don't speak English so they won't understand the things she typed online. |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 12:33 PM PDT I m 18 years old. I wouldn t say I m just the same as any 18 year old. I ve been independent since I was little due to having a single mother with many medical conditions. To keep this to the point, I do all my chores on my chore chart, help her with her child when I am asked, I have never broken curfew, I have gotten on the A honor roll all my life (even in honors classes), I excel in sports, and I have a d1 offer for college sports. After being an only child for 16 years my mother got married two years ago. In my household I now live with my baby brother of 11 months, my 9-year old sister with rad, and a sassy 14-year old. My stepdad is a jackass with multiple issues. My mother always crabby and mean because of him. Plus all these kids (btw she s pregnant again but is a secret). She doesn t want me to leave and gets pissed off that I feel entitled to leaving all the time. At 18, I don t want to be in a household like this. I don t see why I can t leave if I take care of my responsibilities, tell her where I am, and am home for my curfew. Please share your opinions or tell me if you think I should bring up any certain points to her. Thank you and sorry for being all over the place |
Question: I'm 19, but still being seen as a child in my family? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 12:27 PM PDT I'm a 19 year old male. I'm the youngest and the only guy. My sisters are in the their mid 20s. And honestly, my cousins who are already finished university treat me like I'm an adult. To begin with, my parents don't share any news with me. If there is something planned, my sisters are often informed by my mom, but I'm always told the day this plan happens. One morning when I was leaving the house for work, i go to my room to grab something when my mom tells me to come home on time because they're going a wedding. Like, I see her everyday, she can tell me things during dinner. The other day, when my parents were going to the grocery store to grab something, my dad tells me to go learn how to buy groceries. I was shocked when he told me that. I'm 19, if I don't know how to buy groceries, that is embarrassing! When my family gets into family related adult talks, and I join in, they tell me not to get involved in their adult talks (when its always what someone did and what they said). I'm applying to school now, soon to get a job, and plan to buy a car from my cousin whose a mechanic, caring less about informing my family. I also do plan to help my parents financially, but I want some separation. My aunts have even mentioned that my family isn't letting me grow into a mature adult. A cousin of mine is even frustrated that my parents don't take me seriously. When I asked my mom about what the real world is like, and she tells me, after you finish college, you get married and make a living of your own and your family. My dad responds saying "you work and make money for a living". I'm not at all clear on where the hell I'm going with my life. I feel so down compared to everyone even a few years younger than me. I'm seeing my older cousins who are helping me understand the real world and so on. My parents aren't taking me seriously. @BeatriceBatten, I can't afford to even help my parents financially. I'm applying to school right now. @BeatriceBatten, I can't afford to even help my parents financially. I'm applying to school right now. @linkus86, LOL, I've tried explaining to my mom, but its pointless. Talking to my parents is no use whatsoever. Talk is talk to them. I've tried talking my mom, but I don't even know how to get it out to my parents that I'm not a kid anymore. They always find reasons to bring themselves at no fault. Separation i think will give me a different perspective of life. |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 11:48 AM PDT I'm 17, she's 54. Her last job was 20 years ago as a psych nurse. She has no physical or mental disability that would keep her from a job. She has a car. She says her reason for not working is to "stay home and take care of me". I am SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD. I do not need a nanny anymore! |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 11:38 AM PDT SO, we are identical twins. We can be very close, or the worst enemies. We are both 22, and still manage to wrip each other apart. SHe's more outgoing, but definitely not as book-smart. She does work hard, though. I'm very funny according to a lot of people, and cerebral. Now that we are away from each other a lot, there isn't as much time to petty. THat being said, she loves to beat me down. This morning, I came downstairs to find her cleaning up dog poop. She was angry because she's on her period, and lashed out at me. She called worthless, said I shouldn't be at city college (yes I've taken longer to figure myself out, but I am making changes), said I look fuller even though everyone says how good I look and I'm bigger breasted yet more than 10 lbs lighter than her), and that I'm annoying. I actually broke into tears. I admit, I even called my dad for advice. THis is really hard, because I'm already an anxiety ridden person and I finally decided to see a therapist. I've seen her for 4 weeks now, and we've discussed my anxiety. I've been feeling a weight lifted from my shoulders. Now, though, I'm with someone who belittles me daily. Her refutations are often lacking in reason, but she still believes everything she says in that moment. After getting mad today, she said, "I'm on my period. I'm going to say things that I don't mean. Just deal with it." Excuse me, but I'm not your punching bag. Any advice...twin troubles apparently last past the age of 20 other problems: -wrote her whole paper for her (she wasn't grateful...how can i be worthless when she constantly needs me) -her bf is there for her, and she makes fun of me for turning to my dad. She relys on other ppl for everything -I buy her gifts all the time -I compliment her a lot -she's agressive/ I'm sensitive -she thinks she's older than me even though we are 5 minutes apart -my best friend offered to do her makeup, and she expects me to allow my friends to be nice -I give and give I need positive responses...If you don't have something beneficial to say, it's not going to help we do not live together, to be clear. She's off at school. She was making fun of me for being at city college. Ironically, I help her with her chem and english hw. Perhaps she thinks she more driven. I admit she is, but I wish she wouldn't mock me for taking a bit longer to get my act together so now she just said she thinks I'm prettier than her and have better style (smarter...etc.) she "doesn't know what came over her?" what...can't we be consistent with each other?? |

Question: Where do I find a mother figure? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 11:23 AM PDT I'm 19, All I have ever wanted was to have a person in my life that supported me, and is there for me, someone who will truly care about me. My mom is not supportive, she's not affectionate. I'm scared to talk to her because she will judge me. I have to sneak out of the house to go see a therapist. I'm scared of her. Is it possible to find another mother figure? or should I just grow up and give up on trying to get what I long for? |
Question: Memorial service is private, do I go to the after reception part? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 10:58 AM PDT My cousins boyfriend died unexpectedly last week. The wake is tomorrow night then they are having a private memorial service following by a gathering afterwards at a bar. when I was originally told about Saturday Service by one of my cousins I was told it is private. My aunt called my other aunt and asked about it and she said the service is private but she can go to after part but she wasnt told a time or place. The family that has been affected by this has been very exclusive in the past (i.e. 3 aunts plus my mom- 2 aunts are twins and very close and do not invite my mom and other aunt and our families to events such as Christmas, birthdays and will not come when we invite them to holidays or events) so its a little hard to tell if we are actually welcome or not. The latest I saw was through facebook where it was asked for anyone who can, to bring food to the after service gathering at the bar with someone commenting that its from 12-3 for anyone wondering. I am unsure whether I should go or not? I am not clear if im invited/wanted but don't want to look like a jerk for not going either. |
Question: Is it really that weird I still say mommy and daddy? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 10:20 AM PDT I m still gonna do it, I m just wondering why people honestly are so witchy about it. I m 21, my parents have always been mommy and daddy. Don t know why I didn t grow out of it, I just didn t. Neither did my brother who is turning 25, or my sister who is 18. I say it all the time, not embarrassed at all by it. But I know I get weird looks here and there for it. Like my mom was laughing the other day because she said when I called for her at the store that some dude who looked my age turned around and gave me a weird look and was like observing me and my dad joked around saying it s because I m weird and he was probably trying to see if I was r**arded. I just don t understand why that isn t socially acceptable when people have a million and one different ways of saying grandma etc. |
Question: What should I get the family for Christmas? I am running out of time? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 10:02 AM PDT 2 siblings (both brothers) and parents. |
Question: Why should it be like this? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 09:57 AM PDT Why does my parents treat my other siblings better then how they treat me, I have a twin sister, we aren't identical twins,both of us are the eldest sisters and whenever my twin sister makes a mistake or starts a fight they blame me too and say that both of us are bad and the same and it's not my fault. I didn't do anything wrong, sometimes they even blame everything on me and say that it is my fault and everything bad happens because of me. I feel like I'm nothing to them, why do they hate me that much?! Why do they treat me like this? I haven't done anything wrong. If anyone fights with me or like my sister (she fights with no reason) I just keep quiet and don't do anything, sometimes I explode of anger and tell her to shut up that's it. I am nothing to them. What can I do? |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 09:33 AM PDT She is an introvert, but lately (past 3 weeks) she's been exceptionally moody and detached. She wants me to go into a different room every time I walk through the living room even just to go to the kitchen. She now hates it when I try to spend time with her. I'm the affectionate one and she's the "ugh go away" sister, but now she's that way 24/7. What do you think is going on?? What to do? |
Question: Why is she stalking me? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 09:05 AM PDT Long story short. I'm 20 and I have this cousin who's a sociopath(danger to society). She's living aty dad's house and I had to move out bc of her. My dad wasn't defending me. So every time I'd visit. I'd see her stare at me out if the corner of my eye. She listens to all my convos with my dad (she's an ear hustler). Whenever I talk to her dad she huffs and puffs (she's very possessive of him; doesn't have friends really). However, at family gatherings she'll start talking to people near me and when I move she'll eventually go to where I moved and talk to nearby people. She'll even go out of her way to say hi to people I just met at family gatherings. |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 08:44 AM PDT My life is not fair,my parents and my doctor are making me go see a psychologist and my parents are making me see a psychiatrist because I refuse to listen to them. The reasons why: 1)I want to go back to borough of Manhattan community college,but they want me to go to a trade school. 2)my parents want me to delete my Facebook account. 3)I get very mad because I am very frustrated. I have to clean up after them and I have to plead and beg them to let me go back to school and have a social life. My mom ruined my friendship with the people who owes my grandfather$2,000. My mom refused to give the woman earrings because her daughter took advantage of my mom and I kept hanging out with them. What to do? I am worried that I will be put away. I don't want to see a psychiatrist and be on meds forever. I feel like I will never go back to school and become successful. Advice? My mom is speaking to the doctor |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 08:40 AM PDT My mom was best friends with a lady she worked with for many years. Her and the lady developed a close bond. The lady would call everyday 6x a day just to talk with my mom. Last Tuesday was the last time they talked.. My mom found it strange she didn't hear anything and couldn't get in touch with her, so on Thursday last week she called her house and her son answered the phone. He said she passed away. Meanwhile he said there won't be any service and he didn't want anyone to know of her passing. I found it very strange. I searched the family on social media nobody posted anything in memory of her. It's just heavy on my mind. The son told my mom he would call her but she haven't heard anything it's been a week. I understand privacy but why not tell friends of her passing??? Any opinions? We don't know if she was secretly sick or not. She just passed away suddenly. |
Question: I don't want to cook for family anymore just for myself? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 08:18 AM PDT |
Question: Sad Family Story? In Islam what I should do? Zina, Abuse, and Love? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 08:13 AM PDT My dad's father practiced polygamy in Lebanon. He was abusive toward him, his mother, and his brother. My dad went to America and so did his brother and his mom (she divorced), but their father didn't give them money for college (even though he was a doctor). My dad and his mom and his brother (Harry) use to work and pay for college and rent. Their father use to beat them, and not give them any inheritance. Any inheritance the father had for them was given to the kids of his other wife. My dad works 16 hours a day, but my mom ( she has BS degree) refuses to work. My dad said he isn't making money & my mom refuses to work. She has been married to him for 20 years. This is a circle. They r not getting anymore. My dad says I need to work and he is in his 50's. But my dad use to be a bad person and so his brother. They both use to sleep with women and my dad slept with a married woman, stole her money, and ruined her marriage. my mom knew this but my mom doesnt want to work. She doesnt care about my dad. She doesnt care if he is hurt or getting old. My dad is dysfunctional, and I and my mom wear hijab. |

Question: Are my kids selfish and spoiled? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 07:54 AM PDT I'm a mom using my son's account. I recently broke both my wrists (snowboarding accident), so I'm unable to do any of the things I usually do around the house. So, my husband and kids are doing all the cleaning and household chores.This morning, my husband got breakfast ready and made me some tea, before my daughter came downstairs saying she needed to get to school at 7:30 for tutorials, but a few minutes later, my son (who normally drives them both to school) came down, still needing to eat breakfast. He wasn't ready, and I can't drive, so my husband, who never drives to school, had to take my daughter. He is very irritated about it, saying they are very selfish and spoiled because my daughter couldn't wait and my son couldn't hurry up. My kids are generally sweet, and my husband and I have worked hard to give them both a good life. He also said, as further proof, that my son broke a glass last night and made minimal effort to clean it up, leaving my husband to pick up little glass dust bits this morning. I've tried hard to raise responsible kids, and his comments really rattled me. I know you all don't know me, but based on my story, do you think his comments have merit? |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 07:41 AM PDT Mother and daughter are estranged and mother hates daughter and daughter hates mother. So does the daughter still count as a cousin of mine or is she no longer related? |
Question: My sister is a disgusting creature so do I need to consider her a human? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 07:38 AM PDT I don't mean that she looks like a creature I mean her behavior shows that she is not a human being. |
Question: Should I reach out to distant relatives I discovered in Spain? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 07:34 AM PDT I recently discovered I have relatives in Bilbao, Spain. My father's family left Spain during the Spanish Civil War, and later settled in Venezuela. My father move to the US as a teenager and mentioned vague stories about our Spanish past. After doing some research, I was able to track down relatives still in Bilbao. I thought about reaching out to them, but am not sure how I would be received. I would love to meet with them, but I don't know if they would even care to know such distant relatives. Should I? |

Question: Can I go into a hotel room with my spouse while I'm at AIT? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 06:47 AM PDT I find it absurd that I couldn't be with my spouse alone while attending AIT in the army. Some of the sgts said this. But they also said that I couldn't enter my spouses personal vehicle while at AIT and I found that to be false. So does anyone have an answer to this? I know plenty of soliders who say it's okay for you to go inside a hotel with your spouse, and most NCO's lie anyways, so whats the truth here? |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 05:44 AM PDT My Husband was married once before to a complete loon. She cheated on him all the time w/ MANY MANY Men. It ended because she got knocked up by one of her affairs, so they divorced. They have 2 kids together. She has put the in laws through hell. She would show up at their house high on cocaine, she would threaten them, try to physically assault them, & has been removed from their property by police many times. She has damaged them all. I have been with my husband 6 years now, & thought my in laws loved me because I stepped up to the plate to be a good stepmom (child services kept removing them from ex wifes care because of negligence). I made their son happy, and I stayed by his side through all the fights with the ex, courts, false allegations, behavioral issues with stepsons, etc. I honestly had no reason to believe they didn't like me, I treat their son well & do everything I can for their grandchildren. Recently, the ex wife got into another physical fight w/ her bf (her & her bf get arrested for domestic violence alot)...so child services was called because the fights were happening in front of the kids. I told my mother in law in confidence that I called because I was scared for the kids. Little did I know, she immediately messaged the ex and told her I did. The ex went crazy and sent me the messages. I also learned that these past 6 years, my MIL has told the ex very personal info. & that she still wishes her and her son couldve worked it out. Im at a loss right now. My MIL would tell her how much happier the ex wife made her son, how I'm too strict on the kids (because they have chores here. SERIOUSLY). She would tell the ex wife about how she misses their little talks, etc. It just blows my mind that she is doing this because the ex wife RUINED her son and her grandchildren, she literally put them through HELL. I have been there through EVERYTHING, how could my mother in law be so 2 faced to me, especially when I never did anything to her son like the ex! |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 04:53 AM PDT After her divorce 6 years ago she pulled away from the family with her two kids. We have seen them only 2 times since (the kids) and the aunt once a year. So while I have no ill will towards them are they now 2nd rate relatives (less then the other relatives)? |

Question: How can I stop my parents from taking my money? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 04:19 AM PDT I am in high school and I teach English to pupils. For a student, I earn a pretty nice amount of money, but I also have very limited spare time because of my "job". However, my family, who doesn t have a very nice financial situations, takes almost all of my money I earned and they never give it back. I am VERY hurt because I never manage to save some money/ buy something I really need and want. My father usually refuses to bring money home and encourages my mother to spend what I earn! Morever, If I want to use the money I earn, they threaten me to sell the things I like (they have already done it a few times). When I express my feelings of this situation they cry that THEY are my parents and sometimes parents should do this when the financial situation is not good! Please,any tips? This situation makes me really depressed. |
Question: Why is my grand daughter stupid? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 03:41 AM PDT I don't mean to sound awful but it's the truth. She lacks zero common sense and when I tell her to do something she'll sometimes do it. Or she'll do it in a rush and forget things. I told her to clean out the fridge and he only cleans out the containers but not the actual fridge. I mean going through the spoiled food. I have to do the laundry because she will never do it. She doesn't care and will go weeks without doing it. She has always had bad ADHD and low self esteem. Se stopped taking her meds years ago because she almost choked. She barely graduated highschool. But, she's always struggled really terribly with math and has a bad attitude where she doesn't care about anything. She always dresses like a slob, never showers unless it's a week later. I always have to nag her to look like a girl but she tells me she's uncomfortable being one and that's why she dresses like a slob or never showers. She had one job in her whole life that only lasted a few months. Now, since graduating a few years ago she never does anything. She never did anything in school either. Never hung out with anyone according to her mother. I think she's gay maybe. I don't approve of gays. But, is this the reason why she's acting like this? Lazy, rebellious, apathetic? She never wants to leave this house or help out because she's apparently anxious over every little thing. And when it's time for bed she can't settle down. Oh and she doesn't drive either has no intention or learning. Please help me. |
Posted: 23 Mar 2017 02:36 AM PDT I am about to become an adult and noticed that I started to "talk back", or argue for things I believed were either better or more logical compared to that of my mothers and fathers. I never had this problem before and this is the main reason why my parents has claimed it to be a bad attitude and disrespectful. Both my parents are supportive of each others opinions and often goes against mine. I understand that I should live under their rules under their house, though I just find it hard to not say anything back if I find it wrong. Like should I throw out work that I consider important to myself, just because my mother claims it to be messy? Should you keep your table messy or clean? And I really don't want to end up becoming like some clishe spoiled up brat-about to become 18 kid from those family-issue movies. |
Question: Should I end this friendship (need advice)? Posted: 23 Mar 2017 01:54 AM PDT My best friend got married last year. She asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding which I gladly accepted. The whole wedding process was very difficult as she made many changes (changed the bridesmaid dress color twice when I almost bought a dress I couldn t return), telling me the wrong reception dinner date and restaurant, etc. I decided to call her mother (whom I met with to discuss the wedding) and told her I was unable to attend. Her mother threatened me to pay 200 dollars if I didn t make it to the wedding. I did not attend the wedding. My friend asked me if I could still come to her wedding and I was going to but she never told me the reception place on her invite (just the church). She claimed she gave it to me months ago but she didn t. Now, I deleted her off Facebook but had to add her again because she texted me today asking how I was and why she didn t see me on Facebook. She still keeps in touch despite what happened. I don t really want to keep in touch but my mom insists I keep the friendship because we ve been friends for years since middle school and now we are 24 years old. I really don t want to be friends anymore especially after that whole debacle. What should I do? |
Question: PLEASE HELP! How do I find ways to cope? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 11:55 PM PDT Recently my family and I picked up and moved to another state. This was hard for me, because I left my friends, family, and boyfriend in the middle of the school year. I missed my semester exams a test my last school am done now I have to make up 6 classes over the summer and switch to a continuation school from the new one I m already at. My parents aren t very supportive and my mom and brother can gang up on me sometimes. At the school I am at now, I don t have any friends. I sit with brother at lunch but he constantly belittles me and I m trying really hard not to let it get to me. At home my parents are christians, but believe in things differently then I and they say if I don t believe in the same thing I will go to hell. I have lost contact with my friends and my relation with my cousins has become too toxic. I have been packed with homework since the move made me so behind and it s my junior year, it s really starting to stress me out. I can t take care of myself properly, I don t have time to eat enough and my hygiene is becoming a mess which effects my self image and I start to think negatively about myself. I have talked to my boyfriend about this and he is very supportive about everything and makes me feel a lot better, but I want to know what I can do? I don t get out a lot because I have no car, money and I m busted with studying and school work, but what are some ways I can make myself happier and get through 2 more years before I move? Am I just overreacting? |
Question: I saw my cousin's picture on a pedophile site - help!? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 10:51 PM PDT I'm a grade 9 student in Canada and my teacher assigned us to do an essay about cyber crimes after a girl got abducted by someone she met online. Our class got to go to the library and gather some info for our assignments. I was looking through random articles when I accidently got myself into this site. I have no idea what it is, but I saw some pretty disturbing things there. There were adults with their profiles posting pics of kids. Then I encountered a picture of my 8 year old cousin at her school talent show. I have no idea how it ended up there but I did see people saying sick comments about her. They also posted a few celebrity kids' photos and sexualized them (North West, Blue Ivy, Rihanna's daughter, etc). Which means they edited them and somehow made them look like theyre being sexual when they were doing something like walking down a red carpet, taking a selfie, or going to school. I'm really creeped out because its some site for pedophiles and the person who posted my cousin's picture says he's attracted to 3-11 year old girls and calls them "beautiful LGs" with other inappropriate and weird names. |
Question: Why am I the one always getting in trouble?!? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 10:18 PM PDT My little brother is always getting me in trouble but today I m not even sure how I get this bad of a punishment. My little brother is 6 and he irritates me a lot. He likes to start stuff with me and if I say or do something back I m the one getting in trouble. Today he kept trying to wrestle with me and jumping on me even after I told him to stop and even my parents told him to stop. Eventually I just grabbed him and just put his face in the pillow and told him to tap out so he did. When I let him go he just screamed and starting crying saying I tried to choke him and a lot of other things!! My parents got so mad at me and my dad hit me with the belt and my mom says I have so much anger in me . Stuff like this happens all the time even if my brother keeps getting anoying and I tell him to shut up I get in trouble because " I m not supposed to talk to my brother like that! Usually my parents just tell me to stop but from that incident today I m grounded from doing anything for 2 weeks! I m using my old iPod but any advice or things I should do as well? |
Posted: 22 Mar 2017 10:05 PM PDT What should I do? I was at a university in the Fall and I took this semester, Spring off to look for a job and figure out what I want to do which was a fail because I still have no job. I am so stressed I really want to move out but I can not afford to. I was planning to attend full time in the summer. So far all my little sister tries to do is pick fights with me. I keep to myself in my room. Years ago my little sister called the cops on me and lied to the cops and told them I hit her. Luckily I was not charged but I have been trying to get away from her ever since. A year ago she moved in with my mom and I in my mom s apartment at the age of 17. Everything was fine until she started yelling and screaming. The walls are thin here. This is the second time her and I have gotten into it. The walls are thin. She is mesy yet when my mom got home from work today she decided to complain about my mom complaining about the apartment being dirty. So today she starts yelling at my mom after I use the bathroom and accuses me of using her hair and body products, even though I showed her the products I used. I even left the bathroom before I did my hair just to get my hair products. I can not move in with my dad because he lives in a bad neighborhood which is no good for taking the bus. All my mom did was leave her apartment for 10 minutes, she did nothing to stop my little sister from yelling in front our nephews who are children. |

Question: Need serious help with an issue I don't know how to tell my grandmother please help :'(? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 07:26 PM PDT My aunt has been living with us all 19yrs of my life and shes always assuming my grandpa is sexually touching me when he never has. She has done this multiple times and she has told me to never tell my grandma the things she asks me :'( The first time this happened I was 11 and had my new dog Bella and she was teething. She was teething on the button of my blouse for about twenty minutes and she eventually popped the button out with her teeth and my aunt asked to see if that's what I was wearing to bed and she noticed the button was undone then asked me to go inside of her room. I remember her shutting the door then she asked it my grandfather and brother were massaging my breasts and I responded to her "no" and I was crying then she asked me why I was crying and she knows the reason to that she accused me of my grandpa and brother doing something that never happened. The second time was when my favorite aunt was leaving early and I had no clue my shorts were on sideways I was 12 at the time then she asked if he was touching me and then questioned if I ever held his private area and that completely ruined father's day because she forced me in there and accused both of us. Today she assumed it again over my grandpa getting the dog and slammed her door shut. Please help me :'( |
Question: Why does my ex always bag on me for making less money than him? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 07:05 PM PDT I'm 25. Lived with exes in the past and I ended up paying all the rent and losing tons of money. I went to school, got a degree, but after working 3 jobs the highest salary I could find was 30,000 a year (which is about 14.35 an hour) my parents didn't pay for college so that was already one student loan. I'm living at home and decided my next move is buying my own house instead of rent. But realistically I need a better paying job to live comfortably so I decided to go back to college, again, for my RN which is taking me almost 5 years to complete because I still have to work full time to buy my own stuff and pay for my other bills. Anyways, my ex would always make stupid comments about how I'm still at home, etc. when he's been there when I'm trying to juggle it all. He would always brag about sitting in his crane doing nothing but making $60 an hour even if I had a bad day. But the funny thing is his mom still paid his phone bill and built his sisters houses (one in which he lives in now so he got it free with no down payment) because his dad was loaded. I was never disrespectful to him so I'm not sure why he always holds that over my head. Even now that we're broken up my friends still tell me he says things. We weren't together long enough to be living with each other, but after 9 months I suggested living halfway with him due to work and school but he refused to leave his hometown so he broke up with me. |

Question: Does my mom just not like being a mom? Or? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 06:13 PM PDT I m 15 and I just need to rant rn Ik I m a teenager and most teens don t usually get along with there parents but I just feel like I really don t get along with my mom, she s supposed to be a stay at home mom but she never does anything. I m pretty sure stay at home moms are supposed to cook and clean and make sure appointments are made but my mom never does any of that, she just sleeps 24/7 or is hanging out with her friends. I m just really bothered by it and I somehow always end up being the one doing the laundry and cleaning the house, making sure the bills aren t due, making dinner and getting my younger sister ready for school etc. And I ve always had this kind of responsibilities pushed on me since I was about 8 or 9. I m just really tired of it and it makes me feel like she doesn t like being a mom and/or doesn t want to be and I feel like it s really unfair to me. I just want to be able to focus on being a kid while I can and worry about my grades. |

Question: Why doesn't the baby girl love me? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 05:11 PM PDT :( Why doesn't my new two year old baby stepsister love me? When I first said, "Hi, sweetie! OMG, you're so cute," she said no and to leave her alone. Whenever I say something to her or even smile at her, she says some variation of "no" "yeave me ayone," "shut up," or, worst of all, comes up to me and randomly says, "'dit out (get out)." I tell her I love her and she says she doesn't love me, but when I ask why, she just says, "Because," and nothing more. One time she kept saying she didn't love me. I happened to have some cookies and she came up with a sweet grin and said, "Can I have some, (myname)? Pwease?" I said of course and poured lil tiny self a sippy cup full of milk on being politely asked. She had such an innocent expression as she said, "Thank you," accepting the cookie and milk. There was a pause, then, she held my gaze for a few moments, and then the smile vanished and her expression became cold. "I don't love you anymore!" She's so cute :( why doesn't she love me? Have been stepsisters for two months. |
Question: Can you guys give me your honest opinion on this? Posted: 22 Mar 2017 04:43 PM PDT Okay so i just got in a huge fight with my parents. It all started because my dad was talking on the phone with my mom and he said something that wasnt true. I called him a liar (i know i shouldnt have) and he got mad and called me a piece of **** and all these other names. Then he told me that he was going to take my phone away for a week when I didnt think i did anything wrong in the first place. So this triggered me and also the fact being that i am 18 and tired of my parents trying to take away my phone as if i was 12. So i told him i wasnt going to give him my phone and started screaming and yelling at him and my brother sister and mom for butting in. My mom came into my room and took it and i lost control. After it was a blur but i dont remember why i started throwing things but first i threw a glass cup that was sitting on the coffee table next to my bed. Then i threw another cup and almost hit my brother with it which was also glass. I was about to throw a plate until my mom grabbed me and stopped me from throwing it. I honestly felt like i was going insane and was screaming like someone was murdering me. After, i felt terrible about the whole thing and dont know what got into me. My parents told me i broke their hearts and their done paying for my phone line. I feel horrible because i never want to disrespect them like this again. What do you guys think about how i acted and what i should do? |
