I am so scared about the pain this will open.

First of all... i know i am stupid for what i have done... Well i was with two of my friends and we were talking about our family problems They started saying their problems in detail and stuff but i was trying not to tell my problems... Well i accidentally blurted out that i have a brother and that my mother was raped... they seemes to completely understand and i know they are trustworthy... but i thought of it and now i realized that it was completely wrong to do because even though it bothered me a lot it was my mother's business... i don't know what i should do... i just feel bad... what do you think? Should i tell them anything or something?

I'm 14 and I want to get my septum pierced . But my mom doesn't want me to . She let me get a stud in my nostril last May but now she says that septum rings are trashy . Well i think they're cute . My grandma told me that i can get one if i want to so should i get it done with her and not tell my mom ? I want it REALLY bad . I need it . I love having a stud and i want a ring to .

I am living with a mentally ill brother since my mom passed away. I have a cousin that will say to let her know if I need anything but she hasn't called for 6 months. My brother fell one day but said to not call for help. After two days he still said he was alright. He was unresponsive but that is often how he is when he is mentally ill. I got help and now the hospital said he is in bad shape. Is it necessary for me to tell my cousin about this since he is now in treatment?

I m a teenager and I ve been struggling with feelings of lonleliness specifically because I have no siblings. My mom and dad broke up almost immediately after I was born, and my mom has since had surgery to be infertile. Both of my parents date around but I have not seen one relationship last longer than a year so I don t think either of them will get married. They have also both protested against marriage. The point is, I grew up alone, and I m worried that once my parents die I will have no one to share memories with. Both of my parents have been through bad stuff that I ve had to handle alone, and I m at a point right now where I have almost no close friends. I m not spoiled and I don t get a lot of attention because I only see my mom around once a month and my dad is almost always working. How do I cope with these feelings, and, has anyone else felt this way? Everyone tells me I m lucky but I just dont think that s true. Both of my parents have a sibling that they have grown to be very close with. Advice?

My auntie gave me a gold necklace. Later that day my cousin (her daughter) started shouting at me saying it's hers and it wasn't her mothers to give to me. I asked my auntie if that's true and she said yes but she gave it to me because her daughter never wears it and doesn't like it. Her daughter started swearing at me and demanded I give it back saying she'll rip it off my neck if I don't. So I give it back to her and she takes it and storms out the room crying. Her and my auntie were fighting and she was saying that she only give it to me to be spiteful. I'm starting to feel that I was just used as a pawn in their petty arguments. Do you think it I should have never accepted the gift?

Usually the kids who have no choice (under 14) come and the old people who will die soon come as well as the relatives in their 50's who think it is sweet of me to host. Yet very few in my generation 18-30 come. Usually only 3 out of 15. What are activities that would attract them? One said last year "it is just a bunch of strangers I am supposed to know" when her Mom tried to get her to come. I am much older as my Mom had me as a teen and grandparents raised me so I am 38.

I do not enjoy being a father but the wife made us keep them I started hating being a father when my kids were 3 ages ago. So my question is, what is so wrong with keeping your kids away from others(homeschooled) only letting them hang out with others(older cousins) during family get togethers 5 times a year, and refusing to teach them to drive at 15 and 16. We do not have public transit nearby and live off roads that are considered highway(no pedestrian crossing button, no side walks or sides to walk on). And kicking them out right on their 17th or 18th birthdays with them not having transportation or friends to go to. I don't see what is so wrong with that tough love?

I find myself outta patience when Im trying to relax myself and,watch tv in bed. I love her and she treats dinner a lot, but when she nags at me like an old lady it just brings up bad memories living w my mom. She complains,a lot about stuff and gets needy.

My mother has this robe that she sometimes wears that makes her appear half naked. She doesn't understand that parents kids don't want to see their parents naked. It is hard to make an effort to not look at her when we are in the same room. I even have to leave the room and go to my room so I don't have to look at her in that robe. I don't want to hurt her feelings because she is a sensitive person. I just wish she would stop dressing half naked.

or are my parents right? should I just go with what my parents think? so i am 18, a freshman college student.. i live pretty far away from my parents (NYC) and takes about 14 hours to drive from where i am from to New york.. and i found an apartment this semester.. which my parents are paying for.. and im living with 1 other roommate.. My summer break is almost 4 months long.. and I was thinking of just staying here and get a part time job and live the way i want in new york rather than going back home to my parents house and live my boring life.. and i also dont have a drivers license so if i get a job my parents have to drive me everywhere i go.. and i really dont want to get a drivers license (just some private reasons) but in new york i can take the subway and uber so i can easily go anywhere i want. My parents are against this.. bc my roommate will not be here the whole summer break so i will be living by myself in the apartment.. which i guess im a little scared but i was thinking of bring my dog with me.. and there is 24 hour security in the apartment lobby and my parents just want me to spend as much time with them as possible.. but the thing is.. I have no friends where i live.. so I just stay home and do nothing..and feel depressed and waste my time just laying around doing nothing or i have to go to places with my parents and i hate that.. and basically that area is in middle of no where, theres no place to go.. I also dont get any privacy at all when im home. but when im in new york i can go to the park, museums, stores when i get bored! and im a very shy person.. but when im in the city, i just change and im able to dress up and put on makeup without being judged and become more active and practice being more social and talk louder by being around so many people..? So anyway to sum this up.. i just want to stay in new york by myself, get a job in manhatten, volunteer and meet new people, possibly make new friends, be able to explore new york by myself or with a new friend if im able to make one, and just go visit my parents whenever or just for a couple of weeks during the summer... I think im old enough and im an adult? so ill be okay living by my own?? the big reason my parents are against my idea is just that i have to live by myself and ill have no one or college friends here to take care of me so.. they think it is dangerous and will be lonely for me? and im not sure how to really tell them in a way that they will understand and idk if im doing the right thing or being spoiled

I'm not working right now, because I have a disability, and I am going through a process with DVR to get back to work, and its takin a long time. I don't really have to pay rent because my dad owns the house. So, he wont kick me out and knows that I am trying. My roommate has a 1 year old and a 7 year old, and I offered to take care of her kids while she goes to work. So, I'm cool with that, except when she gets off more often than not she does not come straight home, so I'm stuck with her kid all night. Today was a snow day, so I have had her kid all day its 8:25 and she's not home. She always has a reason why she is late also. So today, she just called me and said she couldn't drive and she was scared to drive in the snow, yet when we face timed her I saw many cars passing by her just fine on both sides of the road. It's crazy, I would never leave my children alone like that and just leave them with a sitter 24/7 it's ridiculous to me, and I don't think it's fair. I'm pretty certain that she is spending all of her time at her youngest baby daddy's house, where her 7 year old isn't allowed to go because of things I can't even say on here. Let's just say the authorities have it under their jurisdiction......anyways yeah I guess I'm just bumming cause I don't really know how to stick up for myself and my boyfriend says she has me whipped, so it really hurt my feelings.

Kids as young as 8 and 9 have been sexually exploited on gaming sites. In lots of cases, the child KNOWS that it must be wrong. Most of them still keep it a secret from their parents. Until something goes way too far, such as the disgusting person harming them in real life. I'm sure most parents would be much more worried sick about the adult hurting the child or teen than punishing their kid. Although the child might receive consequences later on, it will be the last thing on the parent's mind at the moment.

My dad was never a part of my life. I knew him for a very short time and he went his own way. Grew up with a single parent with a few siblings. For some reason ive always felt like an orphan even at adulthood. I left forced to leave home when I was 19yrs. For a short few years I thought i was close to my mom but now when i look back, I feel like she never really spent quality time with me. It was always about doing this or that. I dont think she ever really knew how to love me. No wonder i gravitate towards motherly people because im constantly looking for my mom in other people. Dont get me wrong, she is a wonderful mom who had lots of turmoils in life but managed to help us some way. But there is something inside me thats still missing both parents not just one. Most times, i feel like an orphan. My mom never really wanted to be a part of my life and that hurts me. I became stronger as i got older and accepted that but recently I went through a tragic loss of a baby. Its a deep pain that i cannot explain and its very fresh. My mom came to visit but still very cold, no interest in whats going on with me. She keeps to herself. Ive loved having her here and have told her that but she wants to leave early too. I may have been snappy a couple of times and thats because I have so much on my plate right now. We have to move out by the end of the month and we have no place until tomorrow. Im in physical pain constantly due to medical reasons. Wish i had parents who loved me.

I broke up because of my issues. But I don't get why he's angry at me. It wasn't him, it was me.
