I've seen a few YouTube videos where kids have done this and I also remember my stepbrother and I doing this when we were younger. However my dad made it clear that he didn't think that what we were doing was funny and that this would get us into a lot of trouble in school if we did this at school. So have you ever done this when you were a kid? Also I was using my experience as an example, I'm not living in the past or anything.

Long story short, my mom cheated on my dad for another woman when I was like 11 and said that she was living some lie. It was an bad divorce. She took me and my siblings away and wants us to get along with this f****** woman? What kind of stupidity is that? It's like oil trying to mix with water! This is the woman who made me, my siblings, and my dad miserable as hell and makes my mom happy when SHE doesn't get the pain I've been put through because of this? I already have had to deal with anxiety, depression, and I'm also an introvert. I have friends, but I'm very quiet. I'm 17 (My birthday was 2 days ago) and my brother is 15 and my younger sisters are both twins and they're both 9. I'm from South Centrol LA in CA, but I live in Hollywood where most LGBT people are at out here. I have never had a girlfriend and I'm too scared to have one. I don't want what happened to my father to happen to me. After the divorce, everyone including my grandparents have said that my parents still love me and won't ever forget about me. Pfft, I call it crap. She doesn't love me. She probably wishes she could have gotten rid of me or my siblings. The fact that she's already planning on new kids and new marriage proves it. My brother is more extroverted, but we hide all of this and pretend it doesn't hurt. The only way I deal is thru cutting myself. That's how sad I feel. I feel like taking my brother and sisters and running away and never coming back. Is there anybody who can help me?

I have an atrocious nasty family that hates me. I want to leave but I don't know how. I want to kill myself because I will never have to deal with stress and pain again. But, then they'll win and I'll have a horrible family that won in terms of breaking me. How did you leave your bad situation?

My Dad and I have had a rocky relationship and ever since I became pregnant with my Son he's said negative things that I shouldn't have him and all. I stopped talking to him the day before I had him (it's been over a year) I'm now expecting another baby in 4 weeks or less. He doesn't know I am pregnant. I have two girls plus my son. I'm getting my tubes removed. He also doesn't keep his promises with me said some stuff in the past that hurt me big time. Also baby talked to my 6 and 3 year old girls. I asked him not too. My step Mom said you can't change his personality and he talkes that way to my step sister she's 24. Wheelcheer bound and only knows how to sign. Everytime I wanted to come visit I felt he made excuses, but it was weird he'd ask to have the kids visit for the weekend that he'd come get them. Makes no sense. I don't want my kids to end up like how I got treated and or see how I got treated.

What do i do??

So long story short, my biological father neglected me and abandoned me. I tried confronting him about this which led to a huge dispute between us. I ended up telling his entire family what he did to me. Most of them took his side and got upset with me. Apparently they thought I was lying about all this. I was really close with one of my cousins from my dad's side until I talked to him about the situation and he told me he's not taking sides. Does a negligent parent even have his own side?

I'm 25 year old autistic Male and I miss my mom. My mom sent me to go live with a couple in another state. The couple are nice to me and all but I miss my mom

I've seen that photo of mother Lori and daughters a hundred times now since the problems started. Before I would have thought what a beautiful family but now they are poster children for more luck than brains.

I'm sick of the girl drama (crying, gossiping, excluding, rumours and frenemies. Frankly, her 10 year old brother is sick and needs me right now. Her grandma got injured and is staying over as well. Me and my husband have work. I have a family friend helping us take care of the younger child sometimes. I understand that 13 is a tough age for lots of people. Friendships are changing and it's different from elementary school. What I don't understand is that she thinks I'd think her drama is just as important (if not, more so) than sick family members. My focus is on them right now, and by coming home everyday from school with new drama, it's distracting me.

So this is really weird but like acouple days ago. My little brother who's 13. The conversation got to nutshots somehow. And my brother started saying that it doesn't hurt for him to get hit in the nuts. I obviously doubted him but he stood up and told me to kick him. I declined but he's bought it up several times since. I don't know if he picked something up from school or whatever. But my little brother is asking me to kick him in the dick and it's creeping me out tbh. I'm thinking about doing it for no other reason than maybe he'll leave me alone. But this doesn't seem healthy. You know I've told him that it hurts and not something you should just do for fun. But he keeps saying it wont hurt him. And as I said he'll literally spread his legs and tell me to do it. And even call me a pussy for not doing it. I'm not a parent or anything but this doesn't seem healthy. I don't know if he's never been hit in the balls before and don't understand this or what. Do you think I should tell my parents? I'm just really confused about this and the action that makes the most sense is to just kick him. Because who knows how our parents will react. And what if he does this at school or public or something? From what I can gather I'm the only one he's doing this to so I guess its my problem

I am divorced but I still keep in contact with my ex husband Sam occasionally. He was good friends with my parents when we were married and he remained friends with them after the divorce. My parents met at Disneyland in the 70s and have wanted to go back for a visit for many years but they live 2000 miles away and can't afford the trip. I learned today that my ex husband is taking them to Disneyland at his expense for their 30th wedding anniversary. They are very excited to be going. I know they will have a great time but I really have mixed feeling about this. I want my parents to live life to the fullest BUT I don't want to hear about how great a guy Sam is when they get home from their trip. I am trying to get on with my life without him. Is it too much to ask of them NOT to tell me about their trip and Sam or not take it? Am I being selfish in my thinking? Advice please on how I should be reacting to this because I really need it.

I just don't know what to do. I know everyone's parents fight, and they already do, but I can kind of tell this is it. Something may happen and they don't, I don't know, but I just feel so helpless. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad bc they'd both be happier, but my mom never went to uni and I don't know how she'd make an income. My dad would still pay for schooling and all but he wouldn't pay for her. Sorry for this whole rant, I'm just so scared and have no idea what to do

So I was living with my dad first and going to college- still working to help with bills. So then I graduated my sister and husband and 4 kids move in. At this point I'm saving to buy a home and helping out. My sister and her husband pay $0 bills or contribute. He's always babysitting their kids. Both of them work and always asking him to borrow money. Yet, my dad walks around cussing me out telling me he needs more money. I just gave him $500. Then he told everyone that I didn't. I close on my home next month. I clean up and help. But I can't dish over my whole paycheck and since everyone think I graduated they think I have all this money. Am I wrong?

I am 15 years old my mom is in Jail so now I live My dad and stepmom, they are strict and my mom let me do what ever I wanted . do she didn't care if I stayed out all night and I feel like I am burden. My stepmom is really nice I am trying to adjust to their rules. The first night at their house my stepmom walked on my while I was putting on my pajamas, she saw bruises on my back and arms, I didn't want to her all how I got the bruises but she made me tell her. My dad is making me go counseling and my grades are getting better. My grandmother wants me to move in with her and my granddad because she thinks I will be better off with her. She feels like I will be a burden on my dad and She doesn't like my stepmom. My grandmother had asked if I could move in with her and he told her no. She thinks if I ask my dad he will let me.

I love my step-mom, and she loves me. As a 15 year old male, who's never had a stable mother, everything my step-mom does overwhelms me with positive emotions. Heck, even sitting and listening to country music. I always feel in debt, and guilty because of the things she's doing with me.

I love my step-mother, and at the age of 15 is it wrong to want a good night hug? I'm not sexually attracted at all.

My parents immigrated here, and my entire mom's side lives in Mexico. There's branches and branches of relatives in Mexico that I only saw less than a month when I was 13, and I'm never going to see them because I'm a sore loser and a failure

Long story short, I got divorced years ago and have full custody of my son who is currently 15 years old, and his girlfriend turns 15 in a couple months. We've always had trouble with communicating about certain things such as sex and other adult subjects, but it's getting to the point that I feel the need to say something to him about his behavior. I was 15 once and I know exactly what he's going through with having his first girlfriend. She comes over all the time and I treat her as part of the family. He is sexually active and I know this because whenever she's over, they act like they're alone. Almost every time they have sex I can hear them because they make no attempt to be quiet. In fact, I'm posting this question because of what just happened about a half hour ago. They're in his room, it's late, I fell asleep on the couch watching a movie. It wasn't a deep sleep and I woke up about an hour later. 5 minutes after I wake up, his girlfriend walks out of his room and into the bathroom. When she left to go back to his room she was completely bottomless and I could pretty much see her naked ***. She didn't even try to cover it, her entire *** was showing. I understand she probably thought I was sleeping or something but I wasn't and now I have to have that image in my brain. Any advice?

I think my dad's side of the family is being trafficked. I have many reasons to support this. The people who I think are involved is my aunt and her children who are adults. One is a female 21 years old and the other is a m ale 23 year s old. I'm concerned for them because they seem to be deeply controlled by their mother or by someone else. I feel like my dad's side of the family is in some sort of mind control. I'm not sure. My aunt controls her adult children and makes one of them sleep with a lot of guys for money. It's a weird vibe to be around them. How would I know if they're being mind controlled? my cousin is always with different men and has a lot of expensive clothing. My aunt also looks scared and afraid all the time. I feel like something is wrong with her, she has no soul when I look at her. How would I know! Like the symptoms. Also my cousin works at a pharmacy in CVS I thinking her mom (aka my aunt) made her work there to see and steal drugs. I don't know if they're in a drug or sex trafficking thing. My two cousins are both alcoholics and don't work that much. Is this a trafficking thing or mind control/grooming. My girl chain keeps her Facebook locked and doesn t contact me alot. We live in different states. One time I went with my aunt, her boyfriend, my cousin, and my brother and they said some weird creepy jokes to me. Like "let's kidnapping you and make you our children." And they laughed. I didn't think it was funny. ... I felt very uncomfortable and thought they were actually gonna do it. I've seen my aunt whisper to my cousin. They keep secret

I notice that as generations pass by, children seem less and less responsible. Why?

My mom and grandparents live in the same complex a couple floors apart, I keep going back and forth between the 2 rooms looking for safety but no matter which of the rooms I'm in, there's still arguing and yelling. I just can't take it any more! I am a very peaceful person and I don't like yelling and arguing with people, I really don't like my mom, grandparents and mt younger sister. For my entire life, I've debated who's side I should be on. I kept going from my mom to my grandma and vice versa. But I'm not on either of their sides and I can't stand either of them. I do online schooling so I can't use school as an escape. I have no friends to talk to either and I really want to talk to someone. I can't just move out because I'm only 13. And I can't go live with my dad because he is 2000 miles away in a hotel trying to get a job. I really can't deal with it anymore, I very rarely even leave the house maybe once every week or 2 but that's it, and I'm trapped. A year ago I used to be REALLY depressed and wanted to die and now I was finally becoming happy. I found myself and had a new point of view but I feel like my home life is shredding it. I feel like I'm slipping and I don't want to be in that dark place again. I'm only happy and at peace when I'm by myself but that is SO RARE. There isn't any privacy there isn't even doors, I'm extremely lucky if everyone is gone at the same time but it's so rare. I'm just so done with everything, please someone tell me what i can do

Hi I am 18, a guy. I want to know if I'm considered spoiled. I have a job and I bought WITH MY OWN MONEY a new MacBook Pro, iPhone XS Max, AirPods, I bought my dad and I tickets to go see Queen with Adam Lambert. I also bought my own ticket to go see Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Concord Pavilion with my dad. but I payed him back. my dad got a new car and I got his 2016 GMC Yukon XL Denali. that thing has 30k miles on it. I have a job so I can afford it. am I considered "spoiled"?

Neglecting my bills to pay his . While his fam home sitting on their *** . His family is so sweet to me and very willing to do anything for me . They use to take me to work every day and pick me up . If it wasn't him it was his mother . And his little sister adored me . Everything was good until recently . I don't know what changed . I feel like he doesn't understand the strugggle I go through and everything is handed to him . His dad invested money into him . My parents could barely give me enough money to go back and forth to college . I've been distancing myself and idk why I'm hurting him .

I don't swear, my husband doesn't swear, she goes to my mom's house and my mom doesn't swear, she doesn't have any siblings, and i watch over everything she sees on tv and videos she watches and the music she listens to... And all of it is clean. She knows the word b*tch and a** and I have no idea where she heard this, she won't stop saying them, and I don't know where she got this from..

Hi I am 18, a guy. tomorrow I will be meeting my step sisters who are 15 and 19. I've been talking to my step mom for a few weeks since she recently moved in with us and my step sisters have been staying with their dad. my step sisters are literally so nice and very pretty (I've been texting them and FaceTiming them). my step mom and dad will be going out to brunch tomorrow so I can spend time with my step sisters. I'm kinda nervous to meet them, should I just be myself? advice please?

i'm 16 years old and i was i'm my room and my little sister came into my room and told me that i had to give her chips so i started tickling her and then threw her huge teddy bear on top of her and chased her down the stairs. she told my dad that i hurt her and he got angry at me and hit me with his belt. i tried telling him that i didn't do anything wrong (my little sister always tries to get me into trouble for no reason) and he wouldn't listen to me and i tried taking the belt from him because it hurt so much but he angrily tugged it away and hit me again. then i was screaming and crying and he told me to stop crying. anyways it still hurts so much and i can't stop crying. he came in later and said sorry and then said i'm your dad i buy you everything and you have to love me. then he said my dad would hit me and i still love him. except i'm 16 and that's when he was little. he's always yelling at me and i'm scary sometimes and i do love him but he really gives me anxiety sometimes. also i feel like he's abusive sometimes when he does things like this to me. is he??

I caught my underage brother smoking a juul. I knew he had been hanging out with the wrong crowd but I never knew he'd get into that kind of thing knowing that almost all of our family members are addicts and live terrible lives because of it. I just need some advice on what to do. I was going to tell our mother, but he threatened to run away - that made me scared. I don't think he should be doing that kind of thing, but I don't know how to get him to stop.

If I get a good job everyone in my family would respect me a lot more and be a lot more interested in talking to me. If I dont get a good job, they basically avoid me.

That happens to my US Air Force relatives over there now

My mom was trying to start multiple fights with me for just burning candles. When I light a candle, i don't leave it unattended but I just sit with it for half an hour or 20 minutes. I told her I did it safely and there's nothing to worry about. She will start a tangent and make a huge fight about it. But she smoked cigarettes and burned incense in the past. My dad has burned candles. She's worried if it becomes a fire hazard but there's nothing to worry about. And i feel she's just finding any reason she can to harrass me. read the whole description. I was not doing anything bad or wrong or anything unsafe. She's just hounding me for everything. She burned incense and smoked cigarettes. I sit there with the candle and make sure it's safely lit and I put it out in 20 minutes..and it's a votive candle. It helps me feel better..
