My daughter "Allie" is 18. She was very successful throughout high school. She finished with a 4.0, got a 35 ACT, played varsity sports, and managed a political campaign (she wants to go into politics). Allie goes to an ivy league and I'm incredibly proud of her. To my knowledge before this, Allie's childhood was good. I guess she had some lonely spurts but my husband and I are wealthy and everything seemed fine. I just feel like such a moron not noticing how bad things were. Allie is in Connecticut and we're from California so naturally I missed her a lot because I barely see her and went into her room. I found a notebook. I thought it was just notes from school but I kept reading and found horrifying things. Some of the diary entries from her high school were innocent, but most weren't. I found out that one of our family members that she calls "star" raped her since she was 10 until she was 17. She never named him. I don't know who star is. She had a boyfriend throughout high school that I thought was very kind and nice but was actually horrible. He abused her sexually, emotionally, and physically. In this diary she talked about her excessive drug use that I didn't even know she had. She talked about using cocaine, marijuana, LSD, DMT, shrooms, and once heroin. She talked about how depressed she was and said, "Any sort of smiling feels forced." I don't know how to handle this information. I've been a wreck for days.

I'm 16 and I plan on trying it with some friends. And don't tell me not to do it because I just don't care anymore I already smoke marijuana and I just wanna get away from my parents who hate me and insult me everyday and I don't wanna feel sad and angry all the time.

What do you do when your i laws wont talk to you ? They wont add one fb ,Instagram, snap chat. Wont answer my calls or messages . Should I give up ?

I'm in 7th grade, noticing that some people see me as vulnerable. My friends with two parents don't experience it as much. After they find out that i only live with my mom, they pick up some instinct that I'm someone to look out for... even more so then the average 12 or 13 year old girl. I don't have any criminal history, and I was never in danger. My childhood was perfectly normal.

so my mom kicked me out of her house, and we never had a close relationship. she told me she hated me, wish i was dead, nobody likes me, nobody in this family likes me, so one day we had an arguement and she kicked me out, i went to go live with my aunt where i still live to this day, but my mom always texts and calls my aunt to check up on me. why?

I had sex with my step dad it was an affair it happened from when I was fourteen to fifteen I ran away when my mom found out and I haven't spoken to her since. I'm now sixteen I miss her and I miss my home but I'm afraid I won't be welcomed back. We used to be close and I just I ruined everything my step dad told me things like he loved me and he said that if I told her I'd just be home wrecker and I know I'm a home wrecker I know I destroyed my mom's marriage I know it's my fault I hate she walked in on us and I know I did the right thing by getting out but I just wished we got the chance to talk I didn't get the chance to say anything I just left while she was screaming her head off at my step dad I've been living on the streets ever since and I hate it. It's been a nightmare and I just want to at least tell my mom I'm sorry.

from their sister's marriage ?

I've heart my dad. I broke his heart. I'm living a life that I shouldn't. I turned out to grow up to be trash. I wasn't raised like that. He recently found out something's about me that I never wanted him to know. I just spent my Valentine's Day with him. My dad gives me everything I need and want. He spoils me. I try to keep my private life to myself. He just disowned me. Rightfully so. I'm a whore. I have no excuses. All I want in life is to make him happy. I don't think I could ever look at him in the eyes again and visa versa. I know he'll always love me but I hurt him. What do I do. I need words of encouragement. I'm on the verge of suicide. My dad is my everything. I just lost my job my house and my boyfriend. I was living with my parents and now I'm kicked out with no phone or car insurance.. anything really. I don't care about myself. I just want to unbreak my dads heart. If I don't gave him I don't have anything. I'm so broken. I don't want to be here. The only thing keeping me here is my dad even though he won't talk to me. Someone help. I can't go on. I hate myself. I hate myself for even posting this but I can't think of anything else to do. Please help me. Please. I'm on my last leg here

my mom took in 2 girls that her mother adopted. 2 years later the youngest one started giving my mom a lot of trouble messing with boys and running away Etc. The oldest is a snobby ***** who thinks she deserves everything. So when they get home from school my mom turns the alarm on so she knows they're safe and that they aren't running away. She works all day everyday to pay the bills for those girls. So a month forward they call their dad ( my mothers father in law ) and tell them that my mom is mentally abusing them & smoking weed & partying everyday. So they got taken away from her and one is with my aunt and the other is with a friend. I AM BEYOND PISSED BECAUSE MY MOTHER SACRIFICED A LOT FOR THOSE SNOBBY BITCHES !!! What can I do!

I never engage with her but am curious. When she was 10-12, she targeted girls who were popular. Nowadays, she picks on two older girls who are seniors in high school. She wrote nasty things about them in the school bathrooms. These are two 18 year old girls that are older than she is - but she thinks she's more "sophisticated"? The bully says that these seniors wear too much makeup, dress to provocative and are "petty". Her victims usually are superior than her in some way- PRETTY, OLDER THAN HER, or POPULAR. She can be socially awkward and barely has friends. What might her issue be?

My mom is making me share a room woth my older sister. Shes 17 im 13, both girls. She hates me and the last time we shared a room i was never in there and i need my alone time because im socially akward. What do i do

I heard that income level has an effect on a child's behaviour. Poor kids can likely lack parenting (though it's not the parent's fault) and have less resources. Middle class can spend time with kids, but a lot of them aren't really interacting with their children anymore due to social media and work. Same for rich families, but just like lower incomes they can become spoilt. All of these have exceptions so they won't turn out to be the negative stereotype. No matter what class, we have less affordable housing plus easy Internet access in public places. And more single parents than before. I think most families are spending less time together now, but which group of children would be the most likely to harass and torment their peers?

First off, her husband left with her daughter. My cousin is the nicest person I know, she deserves her daughter. Second, her birth certificate and ID were stolen by her ex. Her husband never signed the divorce papers and still won't and he is with another woman. How does that make any sense? She had a stroke a few years ago, a seizure last year, and had to call 911 today for another seizure. People treat her like **** constantly. We tried getting her daughter back but the system sucks. It's even making me depressed. Someone help.

Hi, my boyfriend was trying to enlist in the U.S Air Force but today we just found out the both of his medical stuff got denied for waivers. His medical paper work from when he was a child stated he had asthma but he went to a lung specialist and got a Pulmonary Function Test done and his lungs came back almost perfect, no signs of asthma and he most likely didn't have it as a kid. For his ADHD the new military guidelines says he had to be clean off of his medicine for over a year (15 months is what I normally see), and he got a noted from his GP saying that his ADHD is no longer under treatment. The last time his RX for ADHD medicine was filled was in March of 2017 so I'm a little confused as to why he will have to wait until February of 2019 to try to enlist again. His recruiter told him he has to wait until next year to try again but to me that sounds fishy. Someone please help!
