SOS! Mom makes me hang with my sisters 24/7

 

Check these out, too...

  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • 10 things to tell your mom anytime
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
My mom doesn't let me do anything because I have three sisters, and she thinks I should stay home and play with them. My friends don't understand and get mad at me. If I tell them I can't go to the movies, they're like, "Again?!" It's  so not fair! My mom loves to make my life miserable.
 
Dear Misery,
I doubt your mom is trying to make you unhappy, but you should talk to her. Don't shout, "It's so unfair!" Instead, try to sound calm, comfortable and confident, and say, "Mom, I love my sisters. I like playing with them, and I'm willing to babysit sometimes. But my friends are important to me, too, and when I can't make plans with them, it's hard on my friendships." Since your wishes are reasonable, you're better off speaking up than resenting your mom. You could also try a letter if a conversation is too tricky.

I'm really hung up on this guy.. he was on my brothers baseball team and hes going to a boarding school in the fall...and right now he's doing preseason for soccer! I'm never gonna see him again! And I REALLy like him! We're friends on facebook... can i please have some advice? Thank you!! <3

 

 

Hey girl! If you aren't going to see him awhile, you will probably get over him naturally.  Flirt with other guys and meet some new cuties- you'll be able to get over him by crushin' on someone else as long as you're open to trying. xoxo

Hey chandler218, it is not okay that he is doing this to you. Tell your parents so they can schedule a conference with your teacher, so they can speak to his parents. It may even be good to see if you can switch classes to get away from him. Hope this helps and things get better. Let me know if you need anymore help. Xoxo

OK, so theres this guy in all of my classes and he is REALLY mean and gets in my personal space wayy to often i have talked to my favourite teacher and she talked to him and it stopped, for about 2 days. His friends make fun of me because i have a medical disibility, and they go along with everything he does. They have gotten detention too many times to count, but most of my teachers dont notice that he is bulling me. Im really confuzed because one time he hit me in my chest and i don't know what to do can someone please help? Lynae P.

My stepmom has been smoking, which really scares my oldest- younger brother. He knows what is going on, but is too young to understand how to deal w/ it. I don't know how to talk to him about it because he will get mad or defensive and yell at me to go away, or just start crying. I help take care of my younger siblings a lot, but I just don't know what to do to help him.




hey girl--

I'm sorry to hear that! Can you try talking to your stepmom or dad about the issue? Encourage her to quit-- for your brother's sake, your family's sake, and for her own! If she won't quit, ask her to at least smoke outside-- out of your brother's view (and lungs!)
