Ever since I can remember, my mom micromanages my entire life. I'm 19, I'm in college, and this definitely should not be happening, but it still is. Since I was in elementary school and continuing into present day, if I pick up something to eat, she'll say "Do you know how many calories that is? Do you know how much sugar is in that?" and other accusatory statements. Keep in mind that I eat healthy most of the time, but when I pick up one rare, stereotypically "unhealthy" food item, she'll try to guilt-trip me. She's always done this with my homework as well. Hell, I didn't even realize that she was micromanaging my homework until I was a freshman in high school when I was getting confused in my honors biology class and she made me sit down with her and a white board and she would make me study with her to make sure I was learning everything correctly. God forbid if I ever brought home a test grade lower than a B in high school. Now I'm in college and she'll still pop into my room and be like "Are you studying?" "You need to study for your test." "Shouldn't you be writing your essay?" among others. I do love my mom sometimes, but more often than not, she's a micromanaging control freak. She's constantly a downer and she'll always find the bad in situations. I've tried to tell her time and time again that the things she attempts to do to micromanage me are none of her business, but she won't quit. I'm in college! How do I get her to cut it out?

There are 8 year olds who self-harm, etc. Being famous is a top priority for a LOT of youngsters. They go as far as copying a criminal act and hurting themselves... for the 5 minutes of fame and popularity. A lot of them aren't young teens yet, they're children!! But they're mimicking what used to be "teen behaviour" to get attention. Is it just me, or is it really that the new generation is more desperate for love and attention?

In two weeks time, my mum and sister are going to see Disney On Ice together. I'm 23 and my sister is 26, and we both live away from our parents. However, we visit them every few days. I've always liked Disney, so when I heard about this, I was jealous. I really wanted to go. When they heard about me wanting to go, they said that I'm too old to go. I said to them that they're older than me - but they said since they're females, they're never too old for Disney. But since I'm a male, I am too old for Disney. Are they right about this?

I'm 15 and have 50/50 custody with my parents where I'm with my mom one week and dad the next. I find this agreement VERY stressful especially since he lives 30 minutes away from where my mother lives and where I go to school. Along with this I have a new born and toddler brother who my father makes my responsibility. I am doubling up and graduating next year with multiple college classes, and I just don't need my dads responsibilities put on me. I want to stop visitations with him but am not sure if I can stop visiting him even though I'm just 15 or if I have to wait till July when I'm 16.( I know at 16 I am not legally obligated to visit but wasn't sure about if it would be allowed at a younger age with the right reasons)

I'm 23 but living with my parents. I'm hoping to move out sometime this year. For a long time the house has been dirty enough that if a cop came in when I was young I would have been sent to another home. I used to be lazy when I was younger but I couldn't stand cleaning when my brother with anger issues would just throw everything on the floor or throw things in another room. Because of this my mom gave up cleaning. Instead she just makes a mess, tells us to clean up the house and then goes to sleep. Ive tried to ask her for help but she gets mad saying she's too tired .We did get help from relatives but it never stayed clean. If something gets lost in the house my mom will just buy another. We have so many clothes because people would give us their unwanted clothes and then my mom wouldn't let us throw out our old clothes because " We can wear them in the house". Sometimes they find free stuff and just bring them in the house. It doesnt help that we dont have much storage space for anything. No attic or basement. Even the bathrooms don't have any drawers. My other brother and sister refuse to clean. If they do it's extra slow or they fight over anything so they can stop cleaning. The one with anger issues is a slob. Then gets angry at us for not keeping his things clean. My dad doesn't clean cause he works long hours and it's not his job to clean up. I've tried to keep the house kept up but with everyone making a mess and I'm the only one cleaning I can't keep up at all!

On time when I was 10 or 11 I started to need a training bra and would refuse to wear it. My mom made me wear it and sometimes she would rub my back to see if I was wearing a bra. She would do it constantly and not to mention the bra was kind of tight. She always rubbed my back after I put it on (I had a shirt in when she did it) and I didn't like it. Did she molest me?

My daughter mouthed off because I didn't let her wear revealing clothes. She told someone, her school called CPS for "child abuse". I was disciplining my child that she would never talk back at me that way. I love her and she always knew that. She'll get over the desire to wear sexualized clothes because "everyone" does, etc. They are officially investigating. I explained the situation to them, and they wrote down the situation as a "teenage argument".

Hi guys.. im 19 and student at 8th grade..i have real issues..i asked my parents for money to admit at the gym..so they say that"i did 15 days at the gym"but i didnt.last year i did actually in 7 months and even my brothers say that.also i gap 20 days for rest. Whats the reason they obstructing me like this? dont me tell its finacial issues...

I'm 23 it happened a few months ago. Only three people know, my mom, brother and my best friend. My brother is the only one who seems to understand why I don't even want my dad to hear my name mentioned. My mom thinks that what he did was wrong but at the same time she doesn't try to put herself in my shoes and says I exaggerate for not even wanting to walk near him (I get angry I can't help it, I feel shame and humiliation). My best friend insinuates that my situation isn't as bad as the things she's been in through in life. Idk why she turned it into a comparison but that's caused me to feel a lot of resentment towards her. Am I exaggerating for having these feelings and for not even wanting my dad to hear my footsteps. I don't want to pop up in his head for even a second because I know what he sees.
