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 girlie! This is a very important issue. If you think your medication is affecting your appetite, then you need to talk to your mom or a doctor about it.

my family is really wacked up.
when i was 6, my dad would repeatedly hit me and grab me. When my parents got divorced, he stopped for a while. But a few years ago he started to grab me, not hit me. The grabbing is grabbing me shoulders or arms REALLY REALLY HARD and leaning into my face and yelling at me. It scares the crap out of me. He does this like once or twice a week. He also has called me some inapporpritate names (bad ones) and he says i'm spoiled and rotten and a brat. And it's not much better at my moms house either. She slapped me a few weeks ago. We're constantly getting into arguments and sometimes they'll get to the point where she grabs me too, just not as often as my dad. And she doesnt call me names. I just feel like I can't deal at either house!!! Im kinda scared to live at dads but I love him a lot!!!! i dont know what to do, im scared!




Hey darling. I'm so sorry to hear about this. We have an article on our website that covers this subject and can give you some really good advice. You can find it here: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/03/22/abusive-dad-help.aspx. Good luck with everything!

MOD MOD!!!
See, its my friends birthday, and she wanted to have a sleepover with me and a couple of her friends, but when I told my mom, she started freaking out at me, saying that I'm never going to go to a sleepover unless it was in my house. I don't know why my parents keep smothering me like that, when I go to university, how am I suppose to stay in a dorm if they wouldn't even let me go to a friends house.

Hey chica! Try and talk to you parents about how you're feeling. Try getting them to better understand that you will be attending a University soon and that you want to start having a little freedom. Beyond that, there's really not too much you can do since every parent has different rules.
