I'm 16 years old boy and i have a sister who is 15.. well we study at the same hight school and the thing that i hate is when i want to fight with someone ((bully,classmate,etc)) she will come and help me even if i was fighting boys and even if she knew that i can win but no she always comes and helps me (( she punches, hits,etc)) and we always win however i don't wanna her to get hurt , i already tried to tell her but she doesn't listen so what should i do ???

She says it really should not have happened and is going to tell her dad (my step dad). I have no idea what to do I'm literally dead.

My 17 year old has been having night terrors for a little over a year now. He's always had difficulties getting a good nights sleep but lately his night terrors have gotten worst. He's been thrashing around violently in his sleep banging and bruising himself up. He's had to get stitches after he banged his head on the nightstand. It has also become harder to wake him or even calm him down. Some nights it gets so bad I have to call an ambulance because he's hyperventilating and wont wake up. His doctor keeps saying that its one of those things you cant really cure and thats its a symptom of something and suggests he seeks therapy. However, after one session a therapist prescribed some type of sleep aid which triggered a really really bad night and just made it even harder to wake him. He ended up spending that night in the hospital. Since then he has decided he doesnt want to see a therapist. His father has suggested we restrain him to the bed before he goes to sleep and at first I was appalled by the thought but seeing as nothing else has worked, its not sounding like that bad an idea. Although I'd rather not resort to that. Does anyone have any advise or a clue as to what I should do?

So my family was going to Spring Break vacation yesterday. At the airport, we ate lunch at McDonald's, and suddenly my dad stood up on the chair and began singing, "Old McDonald had a farm, EIEIO!" And everybody saw him singing, wearing a pair of denim short shorts and a white tanktop. On the plane, my dad wore a pair of denim short shorts and a white tanktop. When the flight attendant came to serve snacks, my dad asked for a *lot* of beer. Then, he had to go to the bathroom after finishing the beer, so he took off all his clothes near the bathroom door, and went in without bothering to close the door. He diarrhead so loud and came out, still diarrheaing. Fortunately, me, my mom, and my siblings all sat separated during the flight, so we didn't have to deal with my dad up close. Then, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but my dad took off all his clothes, propped his legs up on the seat in front of him, and began farting, as well as squeezing his private area. Even the flight attendants were so horrified that they didn't know what to do. When we the plane landed, my dad rolled off naked, crying that he lost his denim short shorts and white tanktops. Everybody kicked him and laughed at him. Then, once we got to our hotel in Cancun, Mexico, my dad, who was naked, just sat on one of the beds in our room, began watching TV and squeezing his private area, and drinking beer at the same time, which he got from the mini fridge. So how do I confront my dad about his behavior? So paul wanted to see more of my fiction short stories. Fine, I guess here's one: One day at church, my dad took off all his clothes, began farting and squezzing his private area. Everybody in the congregation was so horrified, even the pastor didn't do anything about it. An old lady called the cops to arrest my dad. My dad then punched the cops dead with a beer bottle and farted in the pastor's face and preached a sermon about denim short shorts and beer.

They've beat me shoved dirty diapers in my face tried to stab me and starved my. My grand parents want nothing to do with me. My cousins all hate me. My dad says I should forgive them I think I should stay away from them for the rest of my life. What do you think?

She ignores me when I'm trying to talk to her but she wants to make everything about her and she wants me to listen to her about her problems. When I try to talk to her about me she makes it about her. She acts like a big kid and doesn't listen to me anything I say to her goes in one ear and out of the other. She gets aggressive and think I'm attacking her she takes it offencive. She thinks she can psychoanalyze me and tell me about myself but she can't take it when I do it to her. She tries to manipulate me into helping her with bills and money and she attacks me and calls me out of my name whenever I don't want to do something she wants me to do for her. She doesn't listen it's like talking to a wall I can't vent to her. She doesn't listen to anything I say and absorb it and change her ways. We had a argument yesterday and I expressed how I felt and she only heard Choice words and try to flip it and manipulate what I said. I told her about herself and she heard otherwise. She is hard headed and doesn't want to hear the truth. she tried to flip it on me and make it seem like I'm the crazy person. She trying to get my medications and she talking to my doctor like I'm crazy. Why and I crazy because I'm telling you the truth. I'm finally trying to express my feelings to her and she looking at me like I'm the crazy person. She gets aggressive and angry and starts yelling and stomping. And it's very hard for me to even get a word out.

So my mom found out that I smoked some weed which is eligal in my country, and we talked about it for a bit but she was like furiously angry at me, so I told her if it wasn t for her I wouldn t be smoking weed because a few weeks back she wanted me to smoke weed with her which was the first time for me. So me being a bit angry also told her that I m an atheist and she was a heavy Christian and then she walked up to me and hit me in the throat. After that I said something that made her even more angry and then she hit me in the ear now I can t hear in that ear. What should I do I m currently in my room with the door locked

Last night I fell asleep in my mom s room around 2:30 am. She had spent the night talking to me about how awful her boyfriend has been treating her, and how he s acting like he s cheating (the way he was acting before she found out he was cheating the first and second time it happened.) Their relationship is absolutely toxic, and he lives in a different town too. When I woke up this morning, she was gone and I started to panic a bit before realizing his car is in the driveway. I immediately took all of my stuff and went to my sister s room because it was easy to figure out that they re jn my bed (in the basement) at that point it s like okay, sure they re in your room. Doesn t mean anything happened. UNTIL I HEARD IT HAPPENING! The worst part is... I DIDN T HAVE A SHEET ON MY BED!!! I feel like things are gonna be tense between me and my mom, and I m going to feel disgusted even attempting to sleep in my bed tonight. I don t know what to do to clear thing s up with my mom, I feel like it was a huge privacy invasion to me, especially considering she has told me that if I need to I can sleep in her room. And I don t know what to do to make me feel better about sleeping in my bed.

We gathered at my wife's mother's place for an Easter party. The kids were sent to a kid room with the older ones supervising. Us parents would go in and out to check what was going on and if all was well. But there was alcohol at the party and as my wife was driving she told me to have a few beers and enjoy myself. Now I had a great time with my three brother in law's talking about football and playing pool but it was when I went out back to get more cans for us I bumped into my sister in law, she just looked at me and smiled, shut the door. She kind of forced herself on me and kissed me but I did kiss her back. I feel extremely guilty I've never been attracted to her, still am not. I don't know why I did it. It waw only short 3-5 seconds but that's not important. I love my wife and i love our kids and she has to know I'm just very nervous about what this could do to our relationship.

Me and a few friends went out for a brief fishing trip early this morning. one of my friends, the one who rents the boat, has a younger brother (20) who he had told before we left that he couldn't come with. When we got to our fishing grounds, a few miles out from the shore line his brother popped out of no where and had obviously snuck aboard. My friend was obviously very angry and the agrued back and forth then we just continued fishing. A couple hours passed and we decided to head back in and then all of sudden my run up behind his brother and shoved him into the water and told him that since he took it upon himself to come out that he needed to take it upon himself to get back. The he just drove off and left him there, by the time I realised he was being serious I couldnt even see him anymore. The whole ride back we were trying to get him to turn back and get him and he refused. Fair enough, we have never seen any sharks in the area and the water was pretty calm but ts still a very far swim. I've tried talking him into at least going close enough so that i he needed help we could help him. But he just keeps saying he'll be fine, and that he'll just be tired. So no we're basically just sitting on the dock waiting for him. I'm not trying to butt into their business but I'm just really worried about the kid. We all know him well enough to know that he isnt that great a swimming but his brother is just joking and saying 'things change when your life depends on it. My friend (the older brother) is the one who rented the boat (kinda like a yacht) and so he's the one who has the keys. I wish it were as simple as just going and getting him myself

i got my father in law and mother in law for the holidays. everything was going fine and the way they care about me and they talk to me shows that they like me and this was the idea in my head until the past week. so i have cameras all over my place to watch for the nanny when she comes babysit my daughter and my in laws saw them and knew about them that it record 24/7. so from the moment they came to my house, every morning while drinking the coffee they start talking about me. things i didnt imagine. and i saw the footage couple of days before they left. please can somebody tell me what i should do because i am so stunned about it and i cant believe that someone can be so nice in front of u and the opposite behind your back

A few weeks ago my mother had found an illegal handgun in my older brother's room (24 years old) and called the police on him. He has always been a bad person and has been to prison multiple times. He was planning on murdering his girlfriend who he had a kid with and possibly our family since we all live together. Nobody wants to have anything to do with him except our mother who never learns time and time again, even though he has lied to her his entire life. He has manipulated her in the past about getting him out of prison and "borrowing" money even though he never pays her back because he can never hold a job and spends all the money he has on illegal drugs. But my mom still talks to him over the phone even though he was planning on killing her and her family. I sometimes overhear my mother on the phone with him or her talking to someone else about him. She says that every time she talks to him, he makes her feel bad for calling the police on him and tries to blame every single bad action he has done in his life on her parenting. My mom never listens to me when i tell her to stop talking to him. He will never become a better person if he knows there is always my mother he can manipulate into thinking that this time he will be a better person. She has sinked thousands of dollars into him and lost it all because he is constantly making bad decisions. I dont want her to be in contact with him anymore, but she wont listen to me. How can i get her to stop?

If you search it up online, studies have shown that adoptees have lower grades in school. Adopted small children were more likely to pick fights and bully others at 5 years of age. Compared to biological families, adoptive parents seem to face more hardship. I've heard of adult kids becoming drug addicts, violent, depressed, etc. Most adopted people become successful as good families are usually chosen to receive the baby... but compared to the general population, why do adopted people show higher risks of screwing up?

Some seem to blame it on single parents when a kid ends up in jail. I live with a single mom, I have no memory of having two parents. I've always been more than fine. My childhood wasn't traumatic, dysfunctional, and I don't feel more vulnerable than the average. No, my mom never put me at risk of getting raped. I had less toys and brand clothes than some kids at school. But that was way better than being in an orphanage with no one. I was less spoiled with material items, and it didn't make me feel any more starved for love. When someone mentions they grew up in a single parent home, some people automatically think they must be: more wild, less good role models, a poor child who is not protected enough, or someone who won't turn out too good as an adult.

I'm trying to pull back, but I feel like the more I pull back the more she tries to get me to be with her. She wants me over every evening I'm not working. If I say no she wants to know what I'm doing so she can explain how we can do it together instead or I can do it later. Part of it is I just want time to myself. She insists that spending time with her is relaxing and if I say it isn't she tells me that it's because of my attitude and I need to learn how to let go. She also complains about everyone and everything to me - including complaining about me to me. She's very critical, she'll want to come over and visit and then complain I don't keep house the way she likes, or she'll tell me how I would look so much better if I just bought new clothes, it's always something I'm doing wrong. I've tried to talk to her but she just tells me I'd be so much happier if I'd just decide to see things "more positively." Or acts like I'm saying something way more extreme, like if I ask her to cut back on the complaining she'll say it's not reasonable to expect her to only ever say happy things around me. Then she insists that she has no idea why I'm being so distant. I don't want to cut her out of my life, but I'm tired and stressed out by this constant pull for more. It's like I have to prove I love her, only it's never enough. I think she loves me, but she's very insecure and acts like everything is a personal rejection of her. Is there anything I can do to get her to back off? I have tried to get her to do other things. She'll do them for a while and then come back complaining how everyone is so mean to her and she just can't be around them because of how stressful it is. She of course talks about how much she sacrificed for me. I try to be grateful, but a lot of her sacrifices I don't think were actually good for me at all. She was 100% involved in everything I did and I never got a chance to be myself or do things I enjoyed or really form relationships outside the family. I couldn't even pick out my own clothes because my choices were too weird and she didn't want me to be made fun of. She was wiling to give me everything except the chance to be different. Clarification: She thinks I had a wonderful childhood and we were so close, when in reality she was very controlling as a parent. She sees her control of me as a kid as evidence of how much she loved and was willing to sacrifice for me. She doesn't understand how we were so close and now I'm just being so weird. I'm an adult now; I live in the same town but not with her (which is why she doesn't get to complain about my housekeeping!).

he is extremely verbally and physically abusive. I can't afford to move out. what do i do?

So the guy I've been seeing is pretty smart about being able to look up a person and their past so he informed me my mom was married to another guy before my dad and had kids with him. Of course I believed that couldn't be true, I would have known about it. Today I told my sister thinking noway could it be true...She asked my mom and she began crying saying she had a daughter when she was 20. ....now I have to ask why it said two kids before my sister and I but even if she had one other daughter omg!!!! I have a half sister out there!!!!! Is she still alive? Why didn't I meet her...I'm waiting for my sister to text back. My mom of course isn't being forthcoming...

Specifically, when it comes to predatory adults and bullying. Teenage girls seem to be the main target for both, so are kids on the edge of puberty.

So long story short my dad is emotionally and verbally abusive. I get grounded for things such as not being home on time to clean out the fridge, due to me being at work. This is just one example I'll save you from a long boring story. Anhway i am 17 years old and I turn 18 in 17 days. Today my dad threw my mattress in the front yard and told me to move out all because I didn't get home in time due to being at church with my boyfriend and his grandma (she got custody of him when he was a baby). His grandma knows how harsh he can be so since he was kicking me out we went, packed my stuff, and left. My dad filed me as a run away and long story short I had to go back home. I'm still 17 and I have to have parents consent to be able to move out that's why I was sent home today, but the police officer told me I can't legally move out until I am graduated because as long as I'm in school he has responsibility over me. Is that true? Or can I move out at 18? I've researched every where and can't find anything on having the be graduated. BEFORE ANYONE TELLS ME MOVING OUT IS DUMB! I have so many people who are willing to take care of me and provide me everything I need just so I can move out. I literally just counted 7 people off of the top of my head who are helping me and called me today trying to help me stay moved out. I make all A's and like 1 high B on report cards, I've had a job for almost 2 years now.

My dad let one of his Activist buddies sleep in his apartment and then he went and lived in a homeless shelter for a few months and my mom allowed us to head over to the homeless shelter to visit our dad? And then we ate at the soup kitchen, that's just WRONG. Like that's not a good role model to your kids, living in a homeless shelter and carrying yourself to be a "DOORMAT."

My mother CONSTANTLY talks about my father's sister, who is really a nasty woman and did some pretty bad things to my mother (and father). However, none of us have seen the sister in 18 years! My mother talks about how the sister was never required to work, how the sister was described as "mean" by other relatives, how the sister didn't do very well in college, etc. My thoughts: 1. Who cares? 2. My mother and I are both Christians. We are required to forgive, if we want to be forgiven (I sure do want to be). (My mother also talks nonstop about how much she hates Donald Trump.) So I see a trend: my mother has bitterness against some people and won't let it go. OK to perhaps send my mother an article about forgiveness or something? I understand why my mother hates the sister (and Donald Trump), but come on--the nonstop talking about them gets old! Thanks.

So I m 13, about to turn 14 in a month (from today!!!) and my brother is 9 about to turn to (8 days later) My parents always baby him. He physically attacks me and then I get yelled at for it. He never cleans and it looks like an automic bomb went of in his room but if mine is cluttered it s "pick up this room of yours." I used to be honor roll but I m not anymore and my parents make me feel so stupid all the time. I hate all fast food and certain other foods and KNOWING this my mom will make it or get it. My brother is having a party at Launch this year (a trampoline park) and I m going to dinner with a few friends at Cheesecake Factory. My parents are of no help in planning a party so I m just going to dinner. IK that they love me because I m honestly kind of spoiled... I m getting a gown for an event that s 11 months away just because I liked it... IDK...

I babysit my sister in law who's 6, the other day after her mother picked her up she messaged me and asked if phoebe had gotten a marker and drawn on her face because she has two dark brown dots on her face that weren't there that morning I said no and didn't think about. They tried to scrub it off but had no luck so they are still there 3 days later. Now her mom is saying it's moles. She has a large one beside her mouth and a medium one below her eye. I don't have any pictures but they were not there the day before. Do you think it could be skin cancer? And do I need to bring my cancer to her?

My friend and I were messing around outside racing my car against his bike and I accidentally swirved and bumped him. I didn't actually hit HIM but his bike went out of control and he hit his head on the pavement. He was wearing a helmet but still got knocked unconsious for a little while but when he woke up he said he felt fine. He threw up twice after that which had me worried but he's still insisting that he's fine. This all happened like an hour ago and he's going for a nap because he said he's tired but I'm a little paranoid that he has a concussion but he was wearing a helmet so I don't know. I was trying to take him to the ER but he refused. What should I do????

so last night I went out with my 4 of my friends to a 24 hour golfing range, we left home at around 8:30pm and my mum told me to be home at 12 on the dot. Time went by after we finished up at the driving range and we went around the city to look for some food but everything seemed to be shut due to easter and public holidays and what not, we drove around for ages looking for something and we finally found an open mcdonalds, there were barely any workers so our food took ages and we stopped somewhere to eat. One of my friends ended up losing her wallet so we had to go back to the driving range to find it which took more time and by the time I got home it was almost 2:30. I was in contact with my mother the whole time texting her explaining what had happened and that I was really sorry I didn't mean to be out so late it wasn't intentional. She ends up taking my phone off of me saying im not getting it back for 2 months, that I am not aloud to go out with my friends and she is thinking about whether or not I deserve to go to my last school ball (which by the way I have been organising cause im head of the ball committee) I understand she is upset and hurt that I missed curfew but me and my friends weren't doing anything illegal like drinking or anything. We're all 17 and the driver was fully licensed, I was communicating with her the whole time but she's still really mad, I know I broke her trust but I think she is over reacting a little bit. what do you think?

I have 5 children they are all very nice. Except one, and like always the richest one. He is a very aggressive human being. I tried to give him ideas for his business but he says I know nothing. He has been like this as a kid, when he would sell on EBay and Craigslist and already was earning more than me at 17. Sadly, he has a huge CPA firm 120 employees but he isn't gentle or sweet. He doesn't give out his money to others, not a giver, he doesn't share. He also doesn't allow his employees to do what they want he controls them. He is bossy. I don't like him. Why is he this way?

My daughter moved 16 hours away from home last April with her husband. She's struggled tremendously to find work and hasn't found a stable job now and it's been a year. She found out in February that her husband had an affair. We are visiting her and she told us she's been feeling very sucicidal and wants to move home with us. I'm not sure what to tell her. She lived home about 5 years ago and was the most miserable I'd ever seen her. Should we let her move back home?

So I have a 17 year old daughter who has mental health problems and has had a tough time of it over the past few years. I have single handadly raised her and coped with all issues without help from anyone. Not even my own family have stepped up because they have always seen her as a problem child not a young adult who from the she of 11 has delt with anxity . Depression. Adhd and been a victim of rape. Over the past few months I feel like my mother. My daughter s grandmother . Is trying to tip my daughter over the edge. She says my daughter lies and make a things up which is not true . I have witnessed some of this and my mother twists her words or adds bits in. But now she is saying my daughter is a theif . Not directly but she says money goes out of her purse when my daughter is around. Even though there is a house full of other people. I have confronted my mother before and she says she s not blaming my daughter. But now it s been going on for a few months and I have had other family members saying my mother is bad mouthing my daughter. I feel like she is trying to frame my daughter has I know she is not a theif and has only been to her grandmother s with me . I m getting really upset about it now. My daughter has been through enough. Should I confront my mother again or cut all ties. I need advice .

I get really upset and angry when I know they are having sex and I don't know why? Can anyone explain this

Okay so my friend works in McDonald's and he said he can get me a room out back like a janitors closet because the boss wont be around. He said I can bring my fold out table from home and dress up the place to make it look romantic.
