I'm missing my dad

 

Check these out, too...

  • I'm afraid my parents are gonna get divorced
  • My "perfect" parents are keeping secrets
  • Feel left out of Dad's life
  • Help! Life is just too hard
  • Bombshell: My bud told me her dad abuses her
I received an e-mail from my dad, and I was happy to hear from him. He let me know what he and my stepmom and sisters have been up to, but then he said he is busy with work. I sent a reply asking if the two of us could talk more, and he never got back to me. I don’t want to bug him, but I want to tell him how important it is to have some one-on-one time.
 
Dear Missing My Dad,
You aren’t the only girl who years from greater closeness with a parent, and your feelings can weigh heavily on you. Instead of stating your desire for quality time, ask a specific question about when you two can visit. E-mail something like, “Which is better for you, the first or third week of June? It’ll be fun to catch up.”
 
Sound upbeat rather than needy or frustrated because, fair or not, it is easier to jump-start your relationship from a positive place. It might help, too, to vent in a diary or talk with your mom or a school counselor.
 
Keep expectations realistic and here’s hoping you and your dad find things you enjoy doing together. Good Luck!

Will someone please help me??
I have a problem.
I'm in the seventh grade and my best friend and i have been best friends since the third grade. A couple weeks ago, these two eighth graders told both of us that we are all gonna make tshirts for spirit week and I was included in this. And tonight, they are spending the night at one of the eighth graders house and i'm not invited. And I don't think the two eighth graders like me. I am office helpers with my best friend and one of them. And she favorites my best friend all the time. Do I tell my friend or go on with life?

I have a problem. It's not THAT big but.. my nieces ALWAYS copy me! No one does anything' 'bout it! And my nephew is worse!!! He's 2 and it's not terrible two's so don't say that but his name is Brian and he can't stop saying... "the F word". And my sis who "watches" him can't make 'em stop hitting'!
I do think i can take better care of that baby then she can! She's 28 and has 2 girls of her own! She sends them outside when "it's nice out", YEAH RIGHT!! She just doesn't wanna deal with 'em so she says get outside it's 85 degrees! When it's really like 50. There house is dramatic! And they live in the perfect neighborhood 4 drama! Anyway... how do i get my nephew 2 stop hitting and my nieces 2 stop copying me? thx.
