ADVICE | FAMILY | TOUGH STUFF FAMILY

Is my cuz in danger?

 
 

I have a cousin who’s a year younger than me that I'm worried about. She's dating a boy who's a couple years older than her, and he's in a gang. She said that she told him she doesn't like him being in the gang, and that he's going to try to get outta it, but I'm still worried.

 

Even if he DOES get out of the gang, I'm worried that they could get angry or something and go after him, and she might be with him when that happens. Her mom knows that they're dating, but she doesn't know that her BF is in a gang. My cuz said she'd tell her mom after Christmas, but I'm still worried.

 

I can't tell my mom or else she might tell my cousin’s mom, and she might get in trouble and never trust me again. What should I do?

 

You’re in a very tough sitch, girl. Fam comes first, and when you see a family member in a difficult and potentially dangerous situation, of course you want to help. It might be best to confront your cousin first. After all, your opinion will mean something to her, and it’s important that she hears it. Urge her to talk to her mom, or to another adult who can give her sound advice.

 

If she’s not hearin’ ya and you’re still really worried? It won’t be the worst thing in the world to talk to your mom about it. Explain that you don’t want your cuz to know that you tattled, but that you’re worried and aren’t sure what to do. Your mom will understand and know what to do.

 

Hopefully the situation isn’t as dire as you’re imagining. But it’s always best to stay on the safe side, and that means clueing in an adult to what’s going on. It might be hard for your cousin to hear your fam’s concern, but in the end, she’ll understand that you’re just lookin’ out for her. Good luck!

Hey chickadee! Under "My Profile", make sure that "Keep My Profile Private" is NOT checked. It might still take a day or two to adjust to your new settings too Smile

 MOD MOD
Ok so my parents have been fighting a little over a year now (step dad and mom) all because my mom hangs out more with her friends than with us. Now my step dad is tired of it and he has been telling me that he's tired of it and if my mom doesn't clear up her "act" then he's moving out and that they're over. I'm upset by this because I've known my step dad since I was 5 (I'm 12 now) and that he's like a real dad to me, (My real dad passed when I was a baby) and I'm afraid to confront her because I'm afraid she'll get mad and think that my step dad put me up to it.
What should I do? I don't wanna lose the best "dad" I've ever had and I don't want them to break up, I also want my mom to hang out with us more.
HELP ASAP!!!




Hey girlie! If you're upset with your Mom, don't be afraid to talk to her about it. Let her know that you want to spend more time with her. She won't know how you feel otherwise. Also, tell her how much you care for your Dad, and how you don't want to lose him.

My dad doesn't really watch his health. He will always buy fatning ice cream. I say to stop buying it cause I don't like it, but I really do but I don't want him to eat it. He stopped buying it, but now he is buying klondike bars and eating them constantly! My family is buying a tredmill soon(I know that for sure)but I don't know if he is going to actually try to work out. I've tried many times to tell him not to eat certain stuff and he always says "thanks for caring! I'm going to start working out soon!" I can't stand to watch him let himself go down hill. I'm so scared that he willl have a heartattack. What should i do?




Hey! you're doing everything you can do. maybe you can work out with him as encouragement?
