I am 19 and just started my freshman years of college. The same night my parents dropped me off, they got into a moreible reck. My parents almost died, my dad has to learn how to walk again and my mom has to use a walker to move a short distance. I feel super stressed because of all of this and I m scared about what will happen. Despite that I am still attending classes even though I m super stressed. And a couple days ago a friend of mine died and I got the news while I was in class. I am always sad and I m having a hard time dealing with everything that has happened. I thought me crying and being sad would be justified but everyone treats me like a baby when I am upset. They talk down to me and get an treat me like a child. Now I think that I m being childish. Am I being childish or is everyone around me a jerk?

It takes 4 years to finish college and it takes more years to establish a career and pay off student loans. By the time you're financially stable, you aren't as fertile anymore.

Hi! I'm a 21 y/o college student who's been living in the states almost my whole life. I'm extremely fascinated with both Canada and Japan, hopefully can move to one of these places one day. But, I have a worry on my mind. I did move out the house once. About 2 years ago, I was in a bad place in my life and I moved all the way to North Dakota (Dont ask me why ND hahah) and i also brought a friend with me who was also willing to come live with me. Long story short we didn't even last a full year, we left 9 months in in our apartment contract. There were times where we just missed our friends and families. We got so depressed because we didn't know anybody. Our apartment was a complete mess. We were a mess, physically and mentally. I've never seen myself that low in my life. Anyways, im worried that later in my life if i do decide to move abroad, I will sink back down in that hole. due to the fact that naturally im a hermit and i barely go out, so meeting new people is hard for me. Should i just live near my family the rest of my life? Because funny enough we all live near each other haha, my two brothers and their families live like 5 mins away from me and my parents, i still live with them.

I got roped into living with my sibling. When I got back today she would not let me bring my bags in saying I was going to mess up the house and that I could not watch her bring in the bags despite me trying to learn how to do things her way so that she doesn't feel the need to do things for me since she was upset she "had" to bring my bags in for me and was going to be late to work because of it. She then took a swing at me and I deflected her. She started telling me how I said a bunch of terrible stuff (which never happened) then accused me of trying to hit her. Then she grabbed me by my throat and kicked and elbows me several times. She then called our parents crying saying I tried to hurt her when really I was just trying to get away. Our parents are siding with her because her medications make her aggressive and angry. I feel she needs to not get away with this because if she does it to the wrong person she could get the cops called on her or get her *** kicked. She is lucky I didn't retaliate yet she is telling everyone I did. Everyone in my life sides with her because she is sick and on a lot of medications that make her act weird. It's not fair to me because I have to take care of her and she can treat me badly yet I am always the bad guy. She tells lies about me because everyone believes her out of pity.

He yells. For example, he yells at my mother about rotten fruit, and that's not her fault. He also is abusive to our dog. Cat. And he's said horrible things behind our backs. He still my mother's meds. (She's got back problems.) And my dad has nothing wrong with him. And he orders meds that are 50 dollars. He's Held me up by my arm swearing at me. I was half sat down. And he lied to my mother when he did that, and he's did more but it's to much to type. Pls answer asap. And he also yells at us for no reason

I'm 17, so I've been living with my mom my whole life. She's a very headstrong woman, and got very far in life despite being given very little as a child. She got married to my dad through an arranged marriage of her choice, and had me and my little sister. My mom does basically everything for us, and I'm very grateful for that. Through my life in school, however, there are a lot of things that I realise my mom has done that my friends find appalling? I used to get beaten with anything my parents could get their hands on, but that stopped when I started middle school. Right after she beat me, she would tell me that it's for my own good. As I grew older this was replaced with scolding that could leave my ears ringing for a good half hour. Now it comes to a point where she's always shouting, always saying I'm useless, always telling me i'm not good enough or I'm ungrateful. She constantly reminds me of the sacrifices she's made for me, like what school she chose to put me in. I understand that it's costly, and that's why I do my best to get straight A's, but she acts like it was my choice to be put there. She's always joyful, and extremely patient with her coworkers and friends, but with us, all it takes is a second too long to reply and she goes off like we slapped her in the face. I love her very much, but sometimes she makes me wish I'd never been born at all.

I'm Black with a disability. They don't care if I'm 48 years old and don't care for sex anymore.  Just because they didn't grow up in a decent family home...  just because their moms are so mess up and their father isn't there for them. Why do they think that I am the perfect candidate to be a housewife and a stay at home mom... They know that I am too old to have kids...  my vagina is dry up. I ain't doing sex anymore, KY jelly my azzs. They still bother me. They are trying to turn my family members against me, so they can get me to go to them and start a family with them, such as adopting some children. Just because I have a disability, doesn't mean I won't be like their mother.  If they look around, especially white people, they too have a dysfunctional family. These Blak men won't leave me alone.  Instead of thinking that I can give them a Cosby kinda family that they have never had...  they need to look in the mirror and make a change...  Think positive...  if the black women are too domineering...   they need to be passive...    And just be a good father and a husband.  If their women are fat, they just have to close their eyes while making love to them.  Why can't black men just accept that I don't want to be with them? I don't want men at all. Men in general... I don't want men.

Its about being honest and respectful. People have to be more responsible about where they do these things at and be respectful of that space.

I have asthma. My parents smoke, and the second hand smoke causes my chest to tighten and me to choke and wheeze. I have tried to get them to smoke outside or something, but they won't take me seriously. Im sick of not being able to breathe but I don't know what to do! I feel like if this keeps up, i'm gonna have a bad enough attack that I end up passing out, or worse... What should I do?! PLEASE HELP! >_< Edit: Im only 15, so moving out is not really an option unfortunately...

Hi, so my sister has been with guy for nearly 4 yrs, hes always been controlling to a point and the maybe a ur into the same he got extremely bad, like he wouldn't let her see her family or spend time with anyone best him. And then it got worse, he started hurting her, leaving bruises, biting her , screaming as loud as possible right in her face. Then our mom passed away and he changed into a totally different person . And he was like that for a year, and recently all of a sudden he fell back into his old ways, and has just been awful to her again. And on top of all tha hes super lazy dont want to work and muches off our elderly dad and my sister. But she never ever leaves him, no matter what he dose? And she started cutting herself!! I dont know what to do? How can I get her to realize that she needs to end this relationship?

He always has a problem with me wearing makeup when I'm a grown adult and always had something stupid to say to me. His parents aren't hard on him for his disrespectful remarks and honestly are where he gets his shitty traits from. His mother argues with kids...He's a poor sport, materialistic, self entitled little brat. I can not believe I'm related to him. I told him to stop talking to me and that I won't acknowledge his existence. He really gets my blood boiling. When I ignore him, he says and does things to waste my time and energy. This kid is full of ******* energy and just runs his mouth. The only reason I try to put up with it is because my 8 year old little sister wants to go over to their house and play since she is the youngest by a 15 year gap between the middle sibling.

If they give it to me of course.. Everyone else in family is moving far away but I have no desire. Mom left dad when we were kids, then used dads parents for free babysitting so we grew up in this house. I had stuff most kids my age didnt, phone on the wall w/ cord, etc. We always played outside & climbed huge trees. Dad was homeless and lived w his parents for like 6 years so we were living here almost full time then, and mom moved constantly so this was one consistent home of my childhood. As teenager tons of family drama, but grandparents house was still the one place I could escape all the drama. Now I'm 20, gpa had a medical scare not too long ago and I've been thinking once they're gone, since gpa built that house from scratch 45 yrs ago I cant imagine any other family living there... Had a talk w dad recently about in america we just tear everything down to build new stuff constantly, so we don't have historical places like rest of the world, and I don't want this house to be one of the things torn down for someone to build a mansion... I live w dad, trying to save up for a place, & still miss that house & go often to see them and I always feel better. What scares me is taking on this house and not knowing how I'll feel, if I'll still want it when they're gone, if it will feel empty like I've heard others say or will I feel glad to have a home like no other... I'm mostly a planner though, should I look into getting this house when the time does come, or move on...?

Last time some of them disliked me for some reason because of it.

I've never been alone before, I'm 17, mom's cousin in Atlanta has an emotionally disturbed son who committed suicide so they flown down for the funeral, I didn't know the cousin real well and never met his children so I didn't want to go, therefore it's me and my friends and party! As my brother went with my parents and my sister is at college. I want to have the ultimate party but I don't wanna get caught, how do I do it in a way they won't find out?

I live on my own and only see her about once a month but I still can't take it. Gets her social anxiety if she can't be herself in public with me with her because I represent her in the eyes of others she feels. If I mess up it means that she messed up raising me is how she feel. This is why she went nuts on relatives who criticized me when I was a kid and she got them out of her life when they were perfectly good people.

 She is a verbally abusive narcissist 

 I am an adult so it was not a case of it being just the adults for the night. They had someone who wasn't even family go along.  

Okay, listen. Let me explain first. I got into fights with my parents, and I was very worried about what they were saying. So, I looked through what they were saying about me. Not my finest moment. But, yeah. I have a history of doing this (we get into fights and stuff). The messages I read were about me being a brat and other things.. I get I coulda been nicer but I have a sister who does way worse and get's away with it. In the messages they also said they would take away everything from me and stuff. Once again I find that it's not fair at all that my sister get's away with it. Yes I made mistakes, and I get I should be punished. But her not being punished EVER isn't fair. Hey. Wanted to clear this up. I don't really fight with her. She yells at my parents and they don't do anything. I own up to what I've done and I accept my punishments.

My sister caught him. Neither of them know that *I* know. I need the internet's most depraved ideas for revenge.
