Some dads are invested in their kids lives and involved. Some are physically present but uninvolved Some are out of the picture and others are in between.

I'm 22 and I'm out the house. But I still have little siblings who live at home. My dad doesn't spank us anymore cause 1. CPS already got called once when he was beating me and that scared him shitless, 2 he's getting old and he's not as strong, so if one of them was to realate he'd be skrewed and 3. I have other family members (uncles and aunts) looking out for them to make sure what happened to me doesn't happen to them. But they're not in the... best conditions either. I mean they have food and clothes and all of that. But my dad works a low income job. I don't want my siblings separated cause the financial condition isn't fantastic but it could be worse. But I keep having nightmares and flashbacks of all of the horrible things I've been though. My therapist already knows I have siblings. If I talk they might be separated and put in the system which is worse than home imo. I'd have to drop out of school and adopt them all to keep that from happening.

I was young my parents were very emotionally and physically abusive. My dad started it and even though my mother loved me and wanted to protect me she started doing it too when I became a teenager bc she lost control when she got PTSD for my father abusing her. My family life was hell everyday i had to watch my dad beat my mom while getting abused myself. They were also very neglectful always leaving me home alone when I was young and not caring enough about my issues. When i was 17 they divorced and it was a bad divorce. They always talked badly about eachother to me and my father being a cheap ***** stoped paying my mother childsupport even though he is well off. He was a dead beat and helped us with nothing. Right after the divorce when i needed my mom the most she wasnt around bc she was always dating different guys and bringing them home which really bothered me tremendously. I had to listen to them having sex and i told her how i felt but she never changed. Fast forward 18 years later and im still struggling to find a way to cope with what went on years ago. I have major depression PTSD and other issues. I love my parents and they love me but i still cant find a way to forgive them for all the mistakes they made. The fact that ive struggled to live on my own since 19 without there help has made things worse. My parents both have paid off houses and never help my sister and I while we been married and renting for years. they are selfish but i want to forgive them how?

My sister likes to watch the Reelz channel it was suppose to be about celebrities now it's about murders. She said scary movies are real. She said on tv they been talking about killers that were based on movies such as the Conjuring she wanted to see that but she's not sure now. Also other shows like Jaws , Childs Play , Helter Skelter , the Shining , IT ect. She said all these movies are real. I knew Helter Skelter was real but not the others. She said yesterday she watched a show about a family who was haunted by a witch in their house the story inspired the Conjuring movie. Today she watched a show about a young girl who was toured that came from the movie Child's Play. Her favorite scary movie now she's never gonna look at it the same way again. She loves scary movies she's not sure anymore now she knows half of them are real. Last night she watched a show about John Wayne Gacy the real live IT. She's already scared of clowns. She thought scary movies were just movies. She's 15. She's afraid to sleep tonight even though she has a night light. She's not allowed to have a dog. How can I help her feel better ?

So basically my parents dropped me off at my grandmas house because they wanted me to visit her and I'm 14 and when I went into my grandmas house she said hey! And we hugged and I sat at the kitchen table and we talked about how my life has been and she made me a cupcake so I said thanks and we continued talking and then I dropped a piece of the cupcake onto the floor so I picked it up and apologized and my grandma SCREAMED SO LOUD "HOW DARE YOU!!!!!" And came over to me and started beating my head with the spoon she was holding and it hurt a lot! So I screamed for her to stop and just hurt my head harder so I jumped away from her and she KICKED me and threw my plate from the cupcake on the floor and smashed it in rage and she slapped my face and started beating my hand with the spoon so I ran out of the room and screamed what the heck are you doing and she grabbed a kitchen knife so I ran out of the house and called my parents. I told them about it but they said I was probably exaggerating when I was not AT ALL! And they don't believe me advice pls help I don't want them to force me to visit my grandma again

My auntie and my cousins are coming tomorrow and I need to make money fast bc my mom won't let me get a job bc of my grades and my favorite cousin loves playing video games and I havent seen him in 2 years but my xbox 360 is missing the cable for the adapter cord and it costs about 9 bucks at my nearest Office Depot, and I couldn't find any at GameStop nor Walmart also I dont have a car but I am learning how to drive and currently have a beginners permit so I have to walk but it takes about 90 minutes to get there from my house walking

She left her laptop on earlier today, and I went to shut it off. But when I went to, I found out she's a member of the site fictionpress. I looked to see what kind of stories she has been reading, and 99℅ of them are gay stories. I did some more searching, and found out she also reads gay fanfiction from the shows Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock. I also looked through her room and found some gay male Japanese books, too. I think they were called "loveless" and something romantica or whatever. I didn't know she was so interested in gay males. She's 16, and I know she hangs around with gays. Mostly gay males. She even wears a rainbow pride bracelet, and has asked me multiple times if she could go to the gay pride parade. I don't know if I should be concerned or what. What do you think? Should I punish her? Should I take her laptop, phone, and books away?

All my life I have never met my biological dad and I don't know anything about him due to my mom being a hoe. She doesn't even know anything about him. Is there any way I can find him somehow?

Recently she's been lying a lot to my wife (her mother) and I. Its not like shes lying about doing drugs or anything that bad, its more like shes lying about skipping school and being on her phone late at night as well as other little things. My wife and I are very strict when it comes to our children but it seems as if she no longer cares about the consequences or punishments. Her grades this year are also the worst ive ever seen them. Nothing has changed recently in her life and she hasn't done anything like this before. Skipping school may not seem that bad but its definitely surprising when your daughter is usually a good child. I dont know why she lies so much these days and I don't know what's going on with her, we've tried speaking with her but she's always just so angry when we do. She's 16 and is a junior in high school, she's planning on becoming a lawyer so I don't want to see her jeopardizing her future. And tips or advice on what might be wrong with her? Or why she may be acting the way she is lately?

I don't like kid between 3-10. They drain so much energy from me whenever they are around. I often see kids who are so undisciplined. One little girl visited my house and ruined my makeup kit. Her mother wouldn't teach her how to behave as a guest. They always grab things from me when i am using them without asking. They cry for no reason. My cousin cries that she doesn't want the mosquito net (we have many mosquitoes in Asia) but she wraps herself in layers of blankets. And she cries coz it's hot but won't let go of the blankets. I freaking hate them all. They are rude little monkeys who are so curious. They want everything & will cry if they can't have them. I m thinking about not having kids because I don't wanna deal with them. What is wrong with me? Is it even normal?

And on top of that, except the adult kid(s) (just me, my sister is 12, no other siblings) to make up for it, when I shouldn't because it's not my house to rent or anything, a little rent is understandable, but expecting me to pay a larger amount of what THEY pay to the landlord is very wrong, (it's abandoning HIS responsibilities). He wants to take my moms retirement funds, and she said that's HERS for her and her kids, and that he CHOSE his lifestyle (nationwide truck driver) and he has responsibilities now that he's married to my mom. She was yelling at him on the phone, also saying she's working her *** off trying her best, but can't make as much money as him. He's an INSANE right wing narcissist, and he has IRRATIONAL ANGER ISSUES, and I'm sick of my life being controlled and have my own rage issues, but he is the one person who actually scares me. I am trying to keep my job, and I can not and will not pay such high prices that I will be unable to move out, I can legally move out anytime, and I'll keep my phone, I'll pay for it, and he's not looking through MY STUFF AGAIN (I regret putting it on a phone on someone else's contract now, I didn't know he was as crazy as he is). What kind of man wants to QUIT HIS JOB AND SPEND HIS WIFE'S RETIREMENT MONEY! Even my alcoholic dad wouldn't have quit his job and lived off of others....

I feel lost atm, we are overcrowded so stuff builds up but I'm working four nights a week too and have a two year old, also an 8, 10 and 12 year old. Husband works Monday to Friday 9-5 so an extra day to me. But I'm left to do all the cleaning pretty much. At the minute, I just can't find the mind power to get it all done. I'm doing it but by bit but I did the lounge and kitchen yesterday and today it's just took me two hours to redo it from all the mess they remade. I just wish I was more house wifey. I know people manage it but to me it just feels so overwhelming. I'm lost. It's really getting to me. I want a clean home, not all the time but at least most of the time, but I just don't have six sets of arms, and enough hours/energy. I don't know what to do :(

Lately things have been hard for me. I'm not the most expressive off people. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve. Sometimes I feel like my parents are comparing me to my older brother. He is much more extroverted than I am. Talking to him is easy. Despite him living 4 hours away him and his wife and closer to my parents than I and my girlfriend are. For the first time in a long time my mother and I had a heart to heart and we spoke about my brother, our relationship, my girlfriend and so on. One of the things she said to me was: "In many ways you still have a lot of growing up to do. We always mistook you for mature and leveled. We never thought you needed as. Which was wrong of us. But you need to stop being so afraid of conflicts. We are a family. It's ok to have an argument. It's ok to get angry. You see how it is with your brother. Every time he comes to visit we have an argument about something. Then we get some food and life goes on. It's the same with your girlfriend. Have you ever had a fight? Sometimes you need that in a relationship. It doesn't mean it will end". My gf and I never fight. I always thought that was the sign of a good relationship. Why should I have an argument with people if we can avoid it? It's much easier, for everyone, if we can just have a leveled discussion. Right?

I really don't want to go to my mom's for Christmas, I really don't care much for my stepdad and my mom knows it. It causes her stress along with myself. My mom understandably defends him saying "His intentions are good" and "He really has your best interest at heart" but bottom line is I am in my 40s, he is in his upper 60s but it's like he sees me as a teenager, but I am long on my own and it is just unnerving to be called into his office (literally) at my age and have him scold me about my attitude or something I may have said to my mother, it's embarrassing at my age, halfway between college and retirement. I finally had enough of it in November 2017 and walked out on them during a dinner after he pulled me aside out of her presence to tell me something he thought I did wrong to my mom and I told my mom I had enough of him and it was just best we get together for lunch on occasion and she agreed but it hurt her. I skipped Thanksgiving with them, but our family is now small, my stepdads daughters live far off and his relationship is strained with one, my uncle has no children and Christmas is just drab with them to begin with and bless my mothers heart, she tries to make it cheerful, but I just cannot find it in my heart to go and be around my stepdad,but yet I don't want to hurt her. I asked my mom if he was jealous of the relationship she and I had that he never had with his children since we talk a lot and (used to) visit, but she had no answer.

My mother and i have a broken relationship. Im her oldest of 3 (and I'm 40). All of us (my siblings) have had serious issues with her. She has a personality disorder, so dealing with her can be both abusive and difficult. I don't live near her, so we don't see each other often. The last few years, i was severely ill and she still didn't pick up a phone to call me even tho i would call her. i asked her if she could send a family member down to help me with a surgery, but she literally laughed and said it wasn't going to happen because no one would want too. She never calls me, and only communicates through an occasional message on Facebook. She said recently that she wants to come down and see me this next year (not sure if it is out of guilt or something because of how she acted when i was sick or not). I really don't want to see her. Please understand it has been a long lifetime of abuse and neglect, lies, etc. My siblings have also pulled away from her. We ask her to get help, but she doesn't think she is the one with the problem. Anyhow, i don't want to see her. Also, she posts things on my fb wall randomly that should honestly be more of a private message. And she DOES know how to use Facebook correctly, the woman is well educated. I think she posts things publicly because she knows we barely respond to her fb private messages because she should honestly call (but she won't....we've addressed it with her literally thousands of times but she refuses to change

I recently got my learners permit and the first couple of times have been pleasant with my uncles. However, recently due to my uncle not having enough time my dad has to teach me. The first time he was patient, however now I feel so stressed when in the car with him. Since I was young I was told that I was going to be a terrible driver and made fun of even though I have never driven. Now that I'm driving I'm constantly being teased at for making any mistake, though its my sixth(ish) time driving and he put me on a busy intersection and interstate with small accelerating lanes. I panic and every time I make a mistake he goes, "BOOM WE'RE ALL DEAD" which stresses me out more. Then when I get home they all tease me for doing badly. I've voiced my opinion that I think i'm not ready for certain driving tasks, however I'm still made to do it. I've asked for them to have more patience and stop teasing me but they've ignored me. When I get upset they get mad at me for not wanting to drive and say," All teenagers love driving" etc.

Hello everyone, I am a 17 year old male from the United States and I need some personal advice on how to deal with some issues I have been having in my relationship as of late. It's going to sound a bit crazy, but please hear me out. Basically, my boyfriend (27) is my older brother's best friend and he doesn't know that we are dating, let alone that either of us are gay. We have been dating in secret for almost 7 months now and while the first couple of months were great, my boyfriend is starting to become a bit abusive and in some ways my brother is starting to get suspicious about both of us (individually). My boyfriend has been leaving some bruises/scratches on me and at first I could play them off as accidents or just stupid things I have done, but now my brother is starting to get all protective thinking that I am being bullied or something and he is now pestering me to tell him who is hurting me so that he can help me deal with it. He is also noticing that his best friend (my boyfriend), is starting to be more agitated and angry at everything and I am pretty sure it is because of me because we fight all the time, but I can't tell my brother any of this because obviously he doesn't know anything about us being together. I am afraid that if my boyfriend gets angry enough or if I try to leave him, he will tell my brother that we are dating or what is going on. I don't want to cause a rift in their friendship and I don't want my family to know I am gay. Please help me...

Today, my therapist told me that my behavior towards my parents is abusive(I swear, scream, & yell at them) which I totally understand. She also knows and understands that they physically abused me and acted aggressively to me when I was younger and how I learned my behavior from that. But my parents have changed their ways now but not completely from my pov. We're always arguing and that's why things get so heated. We want our relationship to get better, but my soul can't go to rest when the reason for my behavior and attitude I felt was because of my chaotic/dysfunctional family life growing up. Everyone in my family deals and communicates angrily, and I feel I have no one else to blame that on but my parents and maybe my own issues(I have ADHD and bad anxiety). I don't mean the things I do and say towards my family if it was really my fault, it's just that I have different feelings about them bc of the mistakes they've made and I haven't moved on from that. My therapist told me I should write my letter to them so we can understand each other, but I want my parents to TRULY apologize and be sincere about what they've done. I'm not a bad person to remind you, so please don't judge. Just please help? I never act this way to other people besides my family. I'm more comfortable with them to express my anger that way bc like I said, I see them differently. I feel like my mom plays the victim when she knows exactly what she's done. I just hate being told by people that I'm a bad kid just because I disrespect my parents when there are problems deeply rooted in that.

One teacher reported to the principal about a local young girl's parents. There was no immediate danger and the girl doesn't have mental illness. She was told to contact CPS if there was an issue. The parents weren't emotionally involved in the child's life. They gave her basic health care but they knew nothing about what goes on in her life. The teacher was concerned that this girl expressed how she tries to connect with people online because she wishes someone knew how her days went.

Hey my mother is always bothering me about her pipe dreams and those ideas have been stuck in my head for years how do I avoid her pipe dreams

Im a generally quiet person. I talk a lot when i want to but generally quite. I have recently been having long 12 hour days at work, when i get home i put on my headphones and eat and just dont feel like taking or thinking. My family gets extreemly upset but i feel like they are being unreasonable. What do you think?

A long time ago, when I was stupid and in middle school, I came up with this elaborate lie that my moms ex husband (who died) was my actual father and actual dad just married my mom after she had me. I'm not sure why I did this but now I think my best friend is on to it because all of my sisters look alike and we all share the same dad. How do I get out of this without letting them know I lied? Could I say we took a paternity test and turns out we were wrong?

When two people choose to force cousins into brother and sisterhood by marriage without thought for those dangling in their winds of whim, i get confused.

at my daughters schools from 8th -10th grade, in PE she attends the swim unit and boys and girls have it together? Why is this allowed? Wouldn't this make girls feel uncomfortable and give immature boys an opportunity to harass and humiliate girls? And cause distractions and goofing off among everyday? Not to mention young boys will be shirtless around young girls and I think that is inappropriate especially in a school setting My daughter keeps saying she does not care but she is young and may not understand how wrong this is this just seems wrong especially at school. Giving a boys a chance to leer at girls like this this class also pretty much just gives students to look at all the other students in bathing suits. What is this a party or something? How is this appropriate for school? Why is the school providing an avenue for voyeurism? can people really say honestly that young boys and girls will concentrate on swimming while they are around each other in bathing suits and not goof off? That boys (who aren't known for sensitivity) won't use this opportunity to harass or tease girls? what reason do they have to put them together? I can't stand the idea that young boys will be allowed to be around young girls shirtless

My phone (it s an android, if that helps) went through an update, and after updates, I have to sign in with my pin #. My pin is the month and day i was born, yet when I put it in, it says it s the wrong pin. What do I do, and how could I fix it? (Sidenote: I listen to MBMBAM and a part of me really wishes Todd the Info Wizard of Yahoo! Answers will help, though I m not sure what the chances of that would be.)

So my dad got sick 2 years ago and ended up in the hospital for 4 months. After he got out he came to stay with me in my new house with my husband and our son so i can take care of him. Its been 2 years now and we have another child who is 4 months. Our house is a 2 bedroom so the room he stays in is my kids room. My family and I have never lived alone (this is our first house) & I love my dad but im ready to live alone with my kids and husband. It does get hard cleaning after everyone or not having privacy. Am i wrong?

When I visit my mom and sister they complain about what I do and if I do something it's never good enough. If I go run errands for my sister she will say I took too long and b**itch about it and then when I'm to the point when I say something back she wonders why I'm angry. My mom she's an angry woman and I feel like my sister is just like her. My mom blames me for treating her badly as a teenager but I'm an adult now and have apologized. Mind you this was ten years ago. Since I got out of high school I've been helping her with bills and now that my sister is back she's the golden child. I'm not able to help like I used to because I moved out and have many more bills but now to her I'm useless. If I don't do something for my sister she will guilt trip me and name everything she's ever done for me and will even make me cry. I'm very young, 22 and I've never been treated so badly by anyone then by family. They are all I have but I think it's time to stop being around them. Im tried of being put down when I do the best I can. I just don't want to be alone. Any advice on how to just drop family members....?

So I'm 14. I have been living with my aunt, uncle, and grandma for the past 3 years. And honestly, they treat me horribly. The past week has been non stop yelling at me. They know that I hate living here. Living with either of my parents is not possible. What can I do? I CANNOT live here for another 4 years. I don't even know if reporting the situation to CPS is an option. My aunt has 4 kids. And they can't get taken away because of me. I don't know what to do. Someone give me some advice. Please.

So long story kinda short I am a 21 year old female who works at walmart, This customer who frequents the store also knows my mom from when she worked there.I was just explaining to him how most of the financial burdens are on me and my sister due to neither mother nor stepdad having a job and we only had $68 in food stamps a month for a family of 5. So he decides to buy us $83 in groceries and gives me his number to pick them up at his house. Now I dont drive, and told my mom this but she doesnt want to get them, and told me to tell him so over the phone {which we havent yet} Her explanation is that we dont know him well enough, its odd and so on. I feel bad for the guy now that the food he bought for us we'll probably go to waste. I dont drive so what am I supposed to do?

I left my daughter with her dad one day and for a few weeks she kept trying to put something in her self like she was tellling me something she can't talk. She's never done anything like that before. I talked to her doctor and she said it's normal. Based on the circumstances and things I've recently heard about my daughters father I cant help but think he did do something because he figures she can't talk. I don't trust him with my child at all. He has no custody of her but I can't put my child at risk should he ever decide he does. I let him see her in public places and I don't let him change her at all. I feel like he is a pervert based on things his cousin told me and things He told me in the past that we're part of the reasons I left him but ended up being pregnant and I opened my big moist hand told him. I don't want to be one of those parents that take away my child's dad but I also don't want my child's life ruined by a potential molester.

a few months ago me & my bf im 23 and my 32 year old of 1 year dumped me while we were out "celebrating" at a bar and as soon as we got there he started talking sh*t he started saying my lips where chapped so i grabbed my lip gloss and i re glossed my lips and he said it wasnt good enough then he saw i was pissed and started talking about how he's glad i finally got a nice weave and why didnt i get an expensive nice weave before now and my hair lately was looking dry & old then i said "if you loved me at all you wouldnt be say this" and he said thats the problem i cant fall in love with you you think time equals love you and your parents both thing i need to be proposing and fallin in love because were at the one year mark and im not even close to that and started saying i let myself go i wasnt on his education level anyways after that a weeks later he hits me up apolozing like crazy saying he was only drunk that night and didnt mean those things and needed me back we get back together and he realized that i made videos about our breakup on my youtube then some how his family finds it too and he starts judging me saying i could never be around his family anymore " i embarrased him" and i was really close to his family anyways then he starts pressuring me for unprotected sex and since i never let him hit raw he started saying our sex life was "boring" then i tell him "if you dont bring me around your family no more no raw sex" then one day after hanging out with his cousins WITHOUT INVITING ME TO Hang out with them as well & ignoring me the whole night he texts me the next morning saying "our relationship ran its course im not compiatble with a relationship right now and im gonna spend my time to recharge and find myself with my family its better for me to be single and it'll be better for you too i'll drop your sh*t off in your mailbox" and this was 2 weeks before thanksgiving WAS IT IS FAMILY OR LACK OF RAW SEX?

I'm 18 and my slightly younger friend is allowed to watch a lot of stuff most 17 years old probably shouldn't. He watches Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, The Big Bang Theory, Saturday Night Live, etc. but I'm just wondering if this show would be too much for him. I've sure he would love it but I don't want his parents to get mad at me for letting him borrow a DVD that they consider to be inappropriate. Would you let someone who is allowed to watch Family Guy also watch Robot Chicken? The only reason I'm asking is because of the sexual stuff. The sexual content seems to be a bit cruder than what's seen on Family Guy or even American Dad. The other content such as violence, language, drugs, etc. doesn't bother me near as much because his parents doesn't seem to care about those things (Let me put it this way, he's the one who taught me the F-word when I was a kid. I'm not worried about the offensive stuff either. Although he is Catholic he has no problem laughing at his religion so that's not probably not an issue at all. So I'm just wondering if you think a parent who's definitely not strict and lets their child watch Family Guy would be okay with letting him watch this.

My dad and I got into a big argument last night, and I know he said something to me because by now I would usually be over it by now. To put some context behind this, I got sent to the office yesterday for swearing. Completely understandable, I didn't swear at anyone or anything, it was really just me talking to myself and it slipped out. The teacher wasn't mad, she just politely asked me to go to the office because she heard me. Now, this is my second time being written up for swearing, and my punishment should have been an in-school suspension, however the vice principal said "Because you were honest about your mistake and you didn't swear at anyone, and in-school seems inappropriate for your situation, so I'm just giving you a lunch detention." My dad gets a phone call home, and he YELLED at me like he never had before. He was so close to me that there was spit accumulated on my glasses. I still have specs of it on them because I haven't cleaned it. He stated that because I'm 13 years old, I have NO rights in his house, and I have to do everything he tells me. He says I can no longer speak when I am not spoken to, I am the reason for his heart problems AND that I'm being held back. You heard that. He called the school and REQUESTED that I be held back. Now keep in mind that my grades are fine, I'm a B average student so it wasn't like I was failing the grade. He called me selfish, a brat, and implied I'm not normal. So I grabbed my IPad (continued in updates) and keyboard so I could go do my homework because most of our homework involves the computer and I am working with a partner. Because I do not have a phone, I do not have their numbers. My IPad barely works, by the way, I got it in 2013. He tells me to leave it. I tell him that I need to transfer some documents from my IPad to my computer in order to finish my paper. I am working with a partner, so I was going to face-time them in order to converse about our paper. Reasonable, correct? Well, I apparently haven't earned that right from him, and I need to continue this routine until he is 'happy.' He said that it sucks that I couldnt use the materials I need in order to get a good grade,and I should've thought about that before I made my mistake. I told him thats fine, but I needed her number to transfer into my computer so I could face-time her off of there. I get the number, im ready to return to my computer when he yells "GET BACK HERE!" and said "call her. right now. I'm obviously in tears and my friend over face time is just listening to my dad scream in my face, she hangs up scared. This morning, I missed my bus. Now, usually by now I would be over it but its all the things he said to me that I really just wanted to punch him for. I ask him to take me to school. He YELLS at me "what the ****? are you kidding me? you don't take school seriously, I really wish I was at work right now so you could walk to school!" my school takes and hour to walk to, however it's literally a 6 minute drive. He drops me off and I tell him he needs to pull up all the way to the next available parking spot. He yells at me, again, "I dont ******* care just get the **** out of my car" (now you see where I get my potty mouth from). So now hes telling me I can never earn my right to my mobile devices anymore, I don't have the right to hang out with friends anymore, I don't have the right to go outside and SHOP with them, I now need to ask them to bring me things from the store. Please help me i cannot stand him! I'm literally ready to run away from this house

So I've been feeling REALLY suicidal lately, and my parents know this. My dad has a ton of guns, so I took one out out of his closet and put it in my closet last night. Today when I got home neither of my parents were there like usual. I went into my room, and found my closet door open and the gun was gone. I went to where I found it and it wasn't there either. I feel like when either of my parents get home they're going to question me. Neither have called nor texted me. What do I do tell them? I don't want to get in trouble?

I'm a 17 y/o (male) Senior in High School and I'm genuinely scared about my grades and my parent's reactions to them. This marking period, I was graded unfairly, as my grade in History went down by 10 points because they supposedly "updated the weight system", and in HEALTH, YES.. HEALTH. My teacher had changed my Final Exam grade (an extremely difficult exam) from a 73 to a 53, bringing my grade from a 94 to a 63 in the class. My English teacher also claims that I didn't complete my assignments despite handing all but 2 assignments in! Absolutely absurd! Report Card Night is tomorrow night and I'm doing everything in my power to evade it due to my mother's crazy reaction and the aftermath of my father's reaction. My parents will absolutely gang up on me critiquing my lifestyle and screaming at the very top of their lungs.I don't get hit (although this one isn't a guarantee), screaming gives me anxiety and headaches. How do I deal with with this dilemma? Nobody is on my side and I don't know what to do. Their word against mine and I have no evidence of ever doing god in those classes. PLEASE HELP ME!

My sister got married to her boyfriend after being together for a week. They had no reason she wasn't pregnant he's not in the army they had absolutely no reason for getting married so fast. I'm surprised 5 months later they're still together. It's a good thing they're really close to each other. They're both 25. They were married two days before his birthday. They didn't even have a honeymoon we do go camping down by the river every summer but that's not really a honeymoon. They said it was but I don't think it is. They secretly got married I didn't even know till the weekend after when we went camping. Our mother died when we were kids we never knew our father it's just been me and her. Her husband is also the lead guitarist in my band I see him almost everyday she was crazy about him I didn't know she was that crazy. What's wrong with her ?
