I'm going to college next month, but I've got issues here: a) They always complain about me not helping to pay for anything, yet they don't want me to have a job as they say I need to wait for my education to be finished first, b) They continue to try and force their Christianity on me when I've asked nicely for it to stop, and I've refused to participate in any church matters, and c) They promised me I would have my freedom when I turned 18, but here I stand today, still waiting for it. They want to control what music I listen to, what clothes I wear and when I wear them, where I go and when I go and who I go with. My parents are divorced and have other kids, and I can't stay with them, and can't afford to live on campus. So, my question is: What can I do? I'm losing my damn mind here!

So to make this long story short I am 17 years old I am about to be a senior next month and I have a big issue. The issue is Im not treated like im older or at least treated my age. My mom especially is so overprotective that its impossible to do anything or just simply go out. I dont know how else to do things unless its behind her back and it gives me so much joy when i do. I cant talk to her about letting me grow up and go out because everytime i do she gets pissed off and doesnt want to talk to me. I go into a rage sometimes because she pisses me off so much. I just want to be more mature and different im close with my mom because i mean shes basically all i ever had but this behavior and her strict boundaries need to relax. Im not immature or a brat, disrespectful or anything of that nature. I was raised well and with manners but i cant ever just be left alone or be able to have time to just be treated different. Its hard i dont know what to do at the moment im trying to change who i am so i can be "more" mature or just show her that i can be on my own and enjoy time with friends and have privliges. I dont know what to do or how to continue this situation the only way i can make myself feel better is do things behind her back. I need some advice please, i need to feel better somehow . Thanks !

My mom & her side of the family have always treated me like crap. My mom & sister (she's older than me) bullied me since I was younger about my weight, acne, etc. I'm in college & I work 2 jobs. My mom had to do a parent plus loan for me this year & she throws that & EVERYTHING else she does for me in my face. But she does EVERYTHING for others (especially for my sister) and never throws it in their face. My sister caused A LOT of drama in town and left me in the shadow to pick up the pieces, so people always pre-judged me. She just had a baby by a big town drug dealer and I basically told her congrats but I'm done dealing with her drama. Now my mom's side of the family hates me. They've never supported me, especially not in college. But now they're buying my sister everything and even got together to pay her rent for the next couple of months! The only reason I come home honestly is to see my dogs & it would kill me to let them go. But if I stop talking to my family after I graduate from college this year, would I be wrong? Or should I handle the situation differently?

The thing is he went away for a long time (for a reason you should be able to guess) when I was about 5. I m 13 now. Im actually not sure about my feelings. That s what makes it so frustrating when my family forces me to confront him when I have not desire to. My mom practically blackmails me, saying she ll pretend she s me and text him because "He s really trying and I should meet him half way in the effort." (They re no longer together) But I just don t care enough. And I can t bring myself to. My whole family pretty much guilt trips me saying he s my father just imagine how he feels. But do they ever stop to wonder how I freaking feel? I know he s not a bad guy but that s not the issue here. I don t really think im angry but I find it uncomfortable trying to force myself to like someone I just can t like anymore.i tried to force him in the back of my mind for the like my whole child hood. I was so hurt. So why would I want to go back to remembering that?

I'm surprised people like that even exist still, but if hitler ever comes back somehow, I wouldn't doubt for a second that he'd join hitler's side, even though he's not german. I think he even once said he wished they had killed all the jews during the halocost. Me and my sister also wouldn't doubt him being in the kkk. He's my sister's boyfriend's father, and bc we're mexican he hates my sister and does everything in his power to stop the relationship between the two. He would only allow a relationship for him with a Hungarian or Pole. He's mentally and sometimes physically abusive, like for example when the kid was 8, he stole $5 and his father started beating him nonstop, and his step mother had to come in and literally tear him apart and stop him from killing the boy, but aside from physical abuse, the step mother is even more mentally abusive and racist. The boyfriend is too afraid and attached to break away from his father, and we can't even hope for the father's death bc he needs his father support to survive. He's terrible, an absolute douche and my sister has become so frustrated and stressed bc of it, I feel like we can't do anything

Here's the back story: I absolutely love rainbows; colorful things in general. When I decided to knit a rainbow scarf last year, my mom started freaking out. I gave the scarf away to the friend because she threatened to throw away my knitting supplies and ban me from my knitting club. Now, I started another one and she hasn't said anything about throwing away my things but, she keeps insisting that I'm gay for making it. My mom is a devout Christian and is obviously not in 2017. She also makes sly remarks about how homosexuals are an abomination etc. I'm 15 so I can't just walk away. Advice? How do I convince my mom I'm not a lesbian I'm actually a girl sorry for not specifying that. I'm actually a girl sorry for not specifying that.
