Don't Want My Parents to Adopt

 

Check these out, too...

  • Does my brother have ADD, or is he just annoying?
  • What to do when your parents are worried about something big
  • Should I set up my sis with her crush?
  • I'm following Mom's no-makeup rule, but sis is sneaking it!
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?

I have a serious problem. My parents want to adopt a Chinese girl. I really don’t want to because I think it will change my life too drastically. I like my life the way it is. Could you give me some advice on how to deal with the new baby if we adopt one.   


-Against Adopting


Dear A.A ,

While adopting a baby is a huge step, you may end up liking life even more as a sister. At first you may feel mad or jealous, as well as excited. But soon you may get a kick out of having a little sister who lights up when you approach and struggles to say your name and reaches for your hand.

 

She’ll annoy you sometimes, but she’ll also add more love to your life. And what a difference you and your parents are making in hers.


SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

ok well i am sooo sad. last week a girl from my school died in a car accident she was a sophmore. this weekend a boy also from my school had an asma attack and right now is in icu and on life support.... the teachers say he probly wont make it through the night he is only a freshmen.... i dont kno how 2 handle all this expecially around christmas. whenever i think about it i think what if that was my best friends or boyfriend or family member.....how can i not think about it and help the ones who were very close 2 these wonderful people.... thanks a ton sorry its so long : )







Hey babes, it is perfectly healthy to feel extreme empathy for people you dont know. The holidays certainly put everything into perspective. If it is all too much for handle stop by the counseling office. That is what they are there for. I spent tons of time chatting with mine. xo JANA

ithink i wuld be cool to have my parents adopt a little sister for me she WILL get annoying trust me but then you'll luv her sometimes and when she gets older she'll want u to be her role model and she'll want u to teach her how to do things! she'll look up to u!

I DID SOMETHING REALLY STUPID!!!!
i kinda sexted someone, though it was IMing, so i guess its not really sexting. only me and the guy kno so far, but im afraid it might get out. it wasnt pics or anything, it was just perverted talk. actually, he was the one who was doing all the dirty talk, i just didnt kno how to get out of the conversation.
so basically, i realized a lot of girls are probably going through the same thing. so why doesnt GL write an article about it. me personally am 15, but i kno sum 11 year olds tht hav taken pics of themselves, or done dirty talk. GL could tell us how to get out of a situation like that and wat 2 do if it does end up happening.
ps, wat do u think i should do with my situation




Hey girl! I'll pass the idea along. In your sitch.. don't do anything. By not drawing attention to it, hopefully it will pass without everyone finding out.

xoxo
