I’m gonna go to albuquerque, NM on birthday, I need to know how much money my friends and I should bring each. Where gonna stay in a hotel probably for 2 nights, and were gonna go to the mall, restaurant, and maybe go to the zoo or Aquarium, and go to that one place with lazer tag, bumper carts. Were all 13 years old but only two of us are 14. Do we need an adult? Where can I get those buses that will drive us anywhere? and they can drive us to albuquerque and back home.
There is gonna be me and my other three friends.

THIS IS MY PROBLEM.
This school cop, who by the way is like 2 feet taller than me and he is young and intimidating is always staring at me. no joke. i have caught him but since i don’t like staring back at people i turn away really easily. once me and my sister (who works in the school) were sitting in one of the benches outside and the cop guy comes in his police car and parks it right in front of us. have no idea why he did that but he stayed in the car for like a few minutes and then went inside the school building. Like in the lunch line (there is 2 lunch lines) if I go on 1 line he moves to that line when he sees me and when I go on the other line he moves to that one. When my friends and I sit down on a table he moves all the way from one side of the cafeteria to the other. I have noticed. Even outside when he is "patrolling" the area in a golf cart, i see catch him looking at me.
I have not told my sister about this. I bet she won’t believe me. any suggestions?
By the way, if this helps.. I’m in Athletics. I’m a girl of course. And I am in High School. I’m just asking for ways to make this guy understand that I don’t like him, I never will and that he better stop it! I have tried ignoring it but I just can’t. I feel uncomfortable and I don’t know if its my imagination or what but… I don’t know how to explain this… I need advice.
Any ways to make him stop staring? Thanks
just to let u knw..

-i don’t dress like a slut like others who do with their boobs popping out of their v-necked shirts.
-i dress like a normal person.
-i wear t-shirts, jeans. u knw. typical stuff.

and i am 15. so yeah. and how am i supposed to know how old that cop is? i just described him by how he looks.

The question before read "guy" but since I’m dealing with an "adult" I rephrased the Question.
@?-how is he gonna hide his feelings??
@?- you know? he sometimes wears sunglasses outside. when he is in the golf cart "patrolling" the area and staring at me.

Thanks to everyone who answered.

Hello. I have a 15 month old and she has quite a few teeth (about 12) and I’ve been cleaning her teeth with a child safe baby finger toothbrush (that you can get at any Babies R Us) since she began teething. I am now wondering if I should be using something else to kill any bacteria in my little girls mouth? Now that she is eating the same food we do, and like any baby, things go in her mouth after being exposed to many germs (after touching toys, shopping carts, etc…), how do I get her started on the right track for good oral hygenine? We all know that brushing your teeth without anything loosens the bacteria. Toothpaste & mouthwash helps us adults kill the germs in our mouths. What can I use that is safe in my little one’s mouth? Any suggestions???

Ok so I work as a cashier and this lady came in and I thought she was speaking a foreign language, but then I realized she was talking to her infant who was strapped in her shopping cart. She looked about 30 and her baby was like a year old. It was early in the morning so I figured she was a housewife.

Then when she went to pay for her things she kept repeating all the things she needed to get done during the day in baby talk.

I thought it was cute, weird, and sad all at the same time.

I’m 20 yrs old with no kids or a boyfriend. I dont see myself rushing into motherhood anytime soon, but I honestly never want to be like that lady because its odd to baby talk like that to adults.

Is it strange or am I just frowning upon the ‘wonderful’ world of motherhood?

hi

im posting this.. im a 28 yr old disabled woman. i have a few things wrong. mobility problems and severe fibromylagia where i can barely move . the pain is severe

also a long term chronic disease ive been dealing with MRSA. wich is highly contagous and im very weak, shaky, chills, have skin pain because of it

so that leaves me disabled and i cant work, i cant even function normally such as sleep at night because of pain. even suppermarket shopping is difficult and im often stared at because i have to stop and take breaks or cant push the heavy shopping cart and need to leave the store

ive been sick with mrsa for a few years because i live with my parents and my family is colonized with mrsa and their house is infested with mrsa and it keeps me sick and unable to work or do most things

i know if i leave their house ill get rid of the mrsa dn be able to start working on recovering the rest

another problem someone here said is that. even tho im 28 my father got adult guardianship over me a few years ago before i got sick. then when i was trying to fight the guardianship i got very sick in their home i was forced to live in

can i still make a run for it and leave anyways, lets say i find a friend to go stay with. if i run away from my parents house without them knowing can i go live somewhere else or in another state? without their permission

because the problem is its unhealthy for me to live in their house because of my weak immune system and mrsa. theyre keeping me sick/. and im also 28 so thats not normal for me to be there, i should be married by now or have my own apartment

i dont have a mental disability so my father only got apointed guardian because i had a serious injury and couldnt show up at court to defend myself an he commited perjury by lying to everyone involved in the case, including the cout apointed lawyers and psychologist

he told them i have mild autism, wich is uncurable and they believed him. but i dont have autism. he also told them im suicidal and a drug addic, other drastic things wich are not true either. ive actually never taken drugs or misused anything
so because he lied and convinced all these people of the lies with no one on my side telling the truth, the judge wrote that im mentally incapacitated and assigned my father to be guardian. wich is for life

i cant appeal it i think because how in the world can i convince a narcissistic judge that he wrote i was autistic and mentally incapacitated when it wasnt true. that might bruise his ego, and people like that dont like to admit theyre wrong

i also do have some social anxiety, i get nervous sometimes around high stress situations such as courts. but its not a disabling social anxiety. its not something that will prevent me from working in life. but it may make me look sometimes socially awkward in high stress situations, so its hard for me to stand up for myself in court. but i do not have any form of autism.

i was told by mental health professionals that i saw seperately after my father got the guardianship, without him knowing and they told me i dont have any mental illness or any other mental disability and they are surprised that my father got guardianship

so im not mentally disabled, he dosnt even care for me or do anything for me, i only get some financial assistance such as small amounts of spending money from my parents. but so do many non disabled adults in their 20s these days, such as my older siblings

can i get up and leave my parents house and move away against their will, since he has the guardianship papers ? even tho i have no trouble with decision making

because staying in their home is life threatening , since their home is keeping me sick with a deadly disease and i need to live alone and be isolated in order to be well enough to work

also what are my rights as a court ordered "incapacitated adult"? because my father is guardian

am i allowed to apply for a job, can i marry? , can i travel on vacations without my parents permission? can i adopt children? can i sign a lease? can i move out of state, buy a home? can i get a bank loan?

the mental health professionals i spoke to obviousely know he lied , so he got guardianship for selfish reasons such as to control me or be abusive

isnt there a crime called perjury? can i have my father arrested for perjury if i gather evidence? that he lied with malicous intent

can i have the court psychologist arrested? because he also lied in court because he wrote down everything my father told him on paper and if it was true and didnt check to see if it was true. and its slander against me now with no truth. for example he wrote down that im a drug addict even tho ive never taken drugs or had an addiction. he also twisted words arond that i said to him to make me look bad. such as saying i told him i was born outside the us, wich is not true and id never say that (he wanted to make me look crazy)
yea id go to the police or abuse adult protective services, but last time i did that they tried to put me in a psychiatric hospital to remove me. and i dont want to go to a psychiatric hospital, especially if im contagous an can get everyone sick on the floor even if i have my own room.

they said the only thing they can do for me since my father has mental health letters, court orders against me saying im mentally ill, then they told me all they can do is put me in apsych ward for 3- 12 months to wait on a waiting list for a group home housing for mentally disabled people

wich for me is INNAPROPRIATE. i absolutely wont put myself through that, to wait in a locked floor with seriousely mentally disturbed people and unhappy and probably scared to, just because i want to move away from my parents house because im an adult

i doubt moving to a locked claustephobic psych ward with unstable people aroun me will brighten my life right now, and i need what makes me happy, and a bit more cont
to gypsy sorry i said narcisisstic judge, he probably was misinformed and only got a one sided view presented to him. so how would he know what was a lie. but im just so angry at the judge, ie had unbearable stress for almost 4 yrs because of this. wondering if ill ever have a normal life, wondering how it makes it harder for me to get away from the abuse. its traumatising

its just not fair and i have alot of worry about it,why did my father get guardianship if he didnt raise me, barely knows me, has been very abusive to me and put me through something that rymes will bell
even years before the court order

its no one fault he lies, manupilates people and convinces people shocking things

but its me who suffers for it

in a shopping cart…
I’m going to WalMart tonight just to be pushed in a shopping cart… by my best friend… for the heck of it… and yes I’m weird…
WHO SHOULD I TALK TO…
Babies, Children, Teens, Adults, Seniors… oh and Douche Bags…
WHAT SHOULD I TELL THEM:
I defenitly know what to tell the douche bags "Yo Yo Yo… Douche Baggy Bag!!!"
so… what do I tell others…

I’m also somewhat shy… so I’ll probably not talk to adults…
THANK YOU!!!

There is a film I would like to see, but I can’t remember what it was called. Here is some of what happens in it…

It starts out with a group of boys in New York city, it is set quite a few years ago. First they are on the roof of a building trying to get a sun tan, then they go down to the streets. Two of them steal a hoto dog vendor’s cart and run away with it, but they lose control of it and it goes down some subway stairs and hits a man, killing him.

They wind up in a juvenile prison for this, and one of the guards abuses them. Several years later and they are adult men drinking in a New York bar. One of them asks the bartender to send a drink down to a man in a suit at the end of the bar, along with a message "Stop talking about politics".

They see the man in the bar who abused them years ago, and approach him – they remind him of his evil deeds, and when he tries to make light of it, one of them places a gun on the table. They end up shooting the guy, and apologise to the bartender for the mess on the way out.

Can anyone name this film please? Thank you.

Ok well when I tell you this you probably wont believe me but I swear its all true. Well the dream started out sort of like a movie would. There was a supermarket and 3 teenagers, a red headed girl and 2 guys(one was Edward Cullen, I SWEAR!!) And they were caught shop lifting and sent out of the store. Then me and my two friends, I don’t know who they are in real life, were leaving the store and we were in the exit area, you know the part that is like glass, and all of a sudden there was this vampire guy and he was grey and flying and he went into the entrance glass area and went into the supermarket and just started killing everyone. Me and my friends were terrified so we hid behind a row of shopping carts and after a few minutes they decided to make a run for it but they were killed too, and I was all alone. I was the only one that lived and like 1000 people died. And police came but the "murderer" got away. And then I was in the hospital, not because I got hurt but I was a bit traumatized. And Edward was there and so were a bunch of nurses and an adult guy. And they were just asking me questions and acting like a psychiatrist but they weren’t. And then I was walking around a bit and they asked me where the "murderer" hurt people and I put my hand on the right side of my neck and started crying because he like bit them. And Edward just like hugged me for awhile and took care of me. I got over it within a few days. And me and Edward just kept hanging out and he was protecting me. And we drove around and like were in love. It was very strange. And he met my mom, and she adored him and he thought she was wonderful as well. So the dream started out sort of upsetting and took a turn for the better. So any ideas on what any of this means??? Because I am so confused about it!!!
Haha yes I do love the Twilight series, but I haven’t read the books in about 2 months I did watch the movie a week ago though… hmmm, lol

This is a random concept that just popped into my head the other day. I’m not really sure what to do with it, but this is the prologue I’ve written. Does it sound interesting at all? And also, is the grammar and all that jazz correct?

Prologue:

The house, an old Victorian style home located in the depths of Sydney’s inner city circle, gave way to one last and final piece of luggage that was carefully lifted and carried out of the house, where it was carted onto the back of a small and rundown removalist’s truck.

This was no ordinary removalist’s truck, however, as the truck was an oddly brilliant shade of green. It also had the strange ability to fly rather than drive like most ordinary trucks. And that wasn’t the only thing. For starters, the removalists, who were a couple of short and stocky men in cream coloured blouses and red suspenders, weren’t your average removalist workers. Nor were they Santa’s little helpers.

For seconds, they were moving furniture at close to midnight. No one who was walking past them or who was in the vicinity of their company seemed to notice their presence, and with gloomy expressions on their faces they continued doing their work. The last piece they happened to carry out, which was a handsome leather oakwood chair, had once belonged to the late Professor Abacus Rose, whose untimely passing caught the attention of many who came to offer their condolensces to his only child, Scarlett Rose.

Scarlett Rose was a lot of things that weren’t fitted to the standards of a normal teenage girl. For one, she possessed a great deal of knowledge that surpassed the average seventeen year old. Secondly, she had never once attended a schooling institution – not one, as she had been tutored and sheltered from the outside world by her father her entire life. Which was odd, even by magical standards. And third, which was, perhaps, the most incredible and brilliant oddity of them all, was that Scarlett Rose was a Witch. And a good one, at that.

But no thought’s of witchcraft crossed Scarlett’s mind that night as the removalists finished loading up the furniture that had been in the Rose household for as long as Scarlett could remember. No, they were to be flown off to Waipukurau, New Zealand, where Scarlett was to live with her Aunt and her family until she became a legal adult.

‘You cumin’ with us, Missy?’ asked one of the removalists, a particularly pugdy one with grey hair sticking out of his ears and a noticible hook nose. He was standing in front of her, holding a leather clip board in his hands. ‘It says ere’ that you ordered the "Self-Included" package’

‘Pardon?’ said Scarlett, confused.

‘I think he’s refering to the getting to New Zealand part your Aunt so deliriously forgot to mention in her letter. You’d think that in the span of eight months after the Master’s death, she’d have informed you of this arrangement by now’ drawled Scarlett’s cat, Newton, who sat perched on her shoulder. Scarlett shot him a silencing look.

‘Yeah. It means you’re included in the delivery, love. I take it it wasn’t you oo’ made this order?’ Said the removalist, running a hand down the back of his head. He seemed to be getting a little irritated.

‘Oh’ said Scarlett, caught off guard. She pulled back her filmsy grey cloak to reveal a pale face and bright red hair. ‘Right. Right, yes, it was my Aunts who assembled that order. My apologies’.

The man didn’t seem to care much. He looked over at his partner who was already in the truck and they exchanged a look. ‘Ugh, alrightey then, love, well let’s hop to it, then’

‘Excuse me?’

It was going to be a long night.

Sometimes from adults, ESPECIALLY women, i always get rude glares and comments because i’m a teen.

like last night, around 11:30 i was walking home from a party, and i was walking downd my street. this lady was walking across the road to her other neighbor and when she got to her, she just totally turned around and stared at me.
i was just like "=)?"
and she kept staring at me and gave me the rudest look, then she kind of did the whole head shake "whatever b*tch your not worth my time" and turned around to talk to the other person.

what the hell??

and the other day i was outside of walgreens, and i was trying to fit in one of those tiny carts, and when i got in i couldn’t get out and my friend was trying to get me out etc you get the point haha
and there was a lady who walked by and she was like "OH, I BET YOUR PARENTS ARE PROUD!"
????

those are just two of the numerous similar events that have occured..

really though, what the hell is up with that?
it’s basically all of the older women who say rude remarks, give me nasty glares…
plus some women even do the whole thing when you were 12 years old, and you had low self esteem and it made you feel cool to go around and giggle and obviously talk sh*t about them right in front of the other people?
Haha, sorry for the horrible grammar by the way.
I’m reading my description and I sound like I’m on crack.
nahh, i don’t want to be rude back and stoop to their level.

and tom,
relax. we’re just having fun and trying to stay young for as long as we can. sorry your so bitter, you sound like a very unhappy person.
by the way, when we were in the shopping carts we were OUTSIDE of walgreens in the parking lot.
baby i need you bad-
well of course people would look at YOU like a retard since you’re 21 lol
and i’m 15.
and there’s quite a gap in our ages, so we probably have a different perspective of fun..

Okay so I am watching my sisters kids for 10 days. We combined have 14 children:
girls: 4, 6, 6, 8, 8, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12
boys: 3, 5, 7, 9

Tomorrow, we have planned to go to the local sports center. It has roller skating, ice skating, lazer tag, bowling, batting cages, and go-carts. We are all going ice skating. Then I’m letting them pick either 2 things each to do. How should I set this up? We only have 2 adults.
I changed the plans. I found 2 other adults to come with us. We are going ice skating (renting the ice thanks to a great post) and bowling (were having an older kid game, and a younger kid game with 2 adults at each. Then I let each kid pick what "team" they wanted to be on: batting cages, go-karts, lazer tag, or rollar skating (they only get one choice). Each "team" has an adult to watch the everyone.

I’m on vacation and a few guys and I would like to go karting. We keep seeing tracks for kids and I know that a really good facility recently closed near the airport. Any other suggestions?

Perhaps it is just my community, but I SWEAR 1/3 of the people I see daily are NOT obese. I am wondering where these statistics come from. I am thin, my family are generally thin people genetic wise. I actually only have one fat cousin…. and she isn’t even that fat.

Sure I see some young fat people here and there, but rarely. I see a few fat adults (not very many obese though. The main portion of fat people I see are about 50-65 years and they ride around those carts in walmart or they are the cute chunky old lady at church.

I think the statistic is wrong. More Americans are skinny then fat. If fat were the norm then skinny would be less and less appealing to the masses. Last time I checked fat is out thin is in.

When I type in my boyfriends height and weight in a BMI calculator it says he is obese. However, he lifts weights I mean sure he isn’t all muscle no meat… but he is hot… not obese.

If they go by BMI alone I bet a lot of people who are not obese are being classified as such.

What do you think?

Where I work is a huge department store, and you have no idea how many female customers I get, of which either have a crying baby in their cart, or are buying pregnancy tests and diapers. You have no idea how rude some of them are to me when going through my till. It seems they all know each other, since many of them seem to always be in a single lineup. I’m 17.

Just to anyone here on Y!A who is a young mother, I am absolutely in no way trying to offend you. Everyone chooses to start a family at a different time, maybe I’m just not one who believes in starting a family that early for right now.

But the thing is, I don’t even know them. Is it because (not to be rude) they miss being young and carefree without maybe the stress of having to look after one small child after another?

Or is it because when someone’s pregnant, their hormone’s rage more than if they were to still have their normal monthly cycle?

What do you think of my rambling, am I the only teenage girl who finds this to be?

I will have a just turned 11 year old family member visit here and because I live alone and I am the only 1 with room and time ( I happen to be on work vacation), he will be staying with me. Ive never met him, all I know is that he loves animals. What’s the best ways to entertain him????? I want him to have lots of fun. He says he is excited to go places.

My ideas are the zoo because he loves animals, or do you think that is too childish? I love the zoo as an adult so I dont know
The beach
Entertainment place (for older kids, than say Chuckee Cheese) it has the tokens/tickets/games, but then also go-carts and smaller carnival rides
Downtown for a boat ride and firework show

What else??

I am 16 years old visiting family in New England for the summer. I stay mostly with my aunt to help her with a hot dog cart. It was cool the first few weeks sitting at the cart, slow business. I help her lug heavy signs, coolers, stock, ETC on and off a truck, I clean the cart and tables, I do what she tells me to, I do almost everything but serve customers. The reason is because I’m shy and I don’t feel comfortable around strangers. I try to talk to a few of them but I can’t talk right.. I stutter a lot and I can’t exactly form a sentence correctly unless I’m with someone I’m comfortable with. My aunt started to get the impression that I am lazy. A man that visits the cart a lot joins my aunt, telling me how I’ll be a waste to society, how I’ll be a trophy wife someday, and how I’ll get nowhere in life when I’m an adult. She takes every little thing I say and mistakes like it will shape my future. These comments make me uncomfortable, so I start to stutter. She tells me I’m not going to make it through college which just hurts a lot.. I’m afraid of telling her she hurts me because I have a risk of more negative thoughts through her head. I either get sympathy or just probably be hurt more often. I seriously don’t know what to do..

My oldest son is going into 7th grade. The school he is to return to is a very tough school. There are about 5 kids in particular that torment him all the time. Besides name calling and things being throw at him, in the last year, he has been physically hurt numerous times. I’ve had to take him to the ER for an x-ray of his tailbone because the kids pulled out his chair when he was sitting down and fell on concrete. He has had bruised, raised welts from getting whipped with the handles of the jump-rope. He has been spit on, punched in the head, and had trays of food dumped on his head. Every week, it is something else. These kids get suspended or expelled for a while, then come back and restart it all over again. They got caught drinking vodka in 6th grade at school, and one kicked the Principal. When my son defends himself, he gets suspended too. The school hides behind the zero tolerance policy. They say he has no right to defend himself. I ripped the Principal a new one, and got it reduced to 2 days. I told him that BECAUSE the teachers and the school tolerate the bullying of my son, the assaults continue. The school refuses to permanently send these kids to the troubled youth school, and keep giving them another chance. These kids also go after other kids. If the teacher had removed the trouble makers from class when they called my son a dumb f*** and threw things at him, then they wouldn’t have been around to chase him down the hall, and assault him. Then my son wouldn’t have needed to defend himself. I told my son he will never get in trouble with me for standing up for himself.

My son is very smart in certain subjects, and average in others. He thoroughly grasps the deep concepts of science, but has massive problems with eye contact. Instead of talking about a favorite tv program, he wants to talk about planetary science. The kids pick up on this and torment him.

I brought the diagnosis to the school, and they are dragging their feet on an IEP. It has been 4 months and still they say they haven’t completed the process. I only want a few modifications to assignments (It would affect maybe 6 assignments a year), and I expect the school to provide more monitoring during lunch/class changing, etc, when the bullying occurs. I expect them to protect my son. It has affected him so much that he no longer wants to go to school. I can’t blame him. I can’t get him transferred to another school, because he is white. The office that handles transfers says that since they are under a desegregation order from 30 years ago, they will only transfer black or Hispanic students. YES I HEARD THIS CORRECT!! I was asked 2 x what color he was, and I responded: "What color does he need to be? I have some self tanner. I’ll put a couple of coats on him." They go by name for the transfer, because a neighbor’s kid with blond hair and blue eyes, whose step-dad has a hispanic last name got transferred with no problem.

The state has opened up public schooling online. It is free. I really do want my son to associate with kids his age, but I feel like regular school is doing more harm than good. My son plays golf weekly in a league with adults and volunteers to wash carts one day a week for free golf.

The only other option I have is to try and file police reports when the next assault happens. Not that I need more on my plate, but should I threaten to sue the school??

What do you suggest?? I cannot afford private school since the tuition is more than the family brings in in a year. I have home-schooled in the past successfully, but since I also have a 2 and 4 year old, I don’t know how much uninterrupted time I will have to devote to lessons. I would also like some support for the upper grades, although I am very good with math, and can teach that. I will be available to support his learning and reteach some lessons, but I don’t think I can take 100% responsibility for all the courses all of the time.

Opinions/advice is welcome. If you know how to fix this problem please let me know.

i know this seems long but please, im reallyy counting on u guys. im not sure of what to do, icant live the rest of my life like this.
alright so to start off im a 13 yr old girl. well actually, im gonna be 14 in july.
heres a little bit about my family& me:
me:almost 14, middle child, im kinda the "outcast" .everyone has a problem with me, so i tend to keep quiet at home, even though im actually a realllyy loud, active, hyper&outgoing person. the last time i acted like the real me in front of my mom& 16 yr old brother…we were at walmart, like in april. i was laughing at something so stupid that i dont even remember. my brother was holding the shopping cart and pushed it at me so hard that i fell and slid across the aisle one of my shoes even fell off. my mom reacted by slapping my brother on the back but 5 seconds later she apologized because "she hit him too hard" and she said she would’ve hit me with the cart too.
dad:is waayy older than my mom. him & her had an arranged marriage (pakistani-muslim family) hes like 60 something and moms 39 O_o . dad has a nice job, owns 2 busy restaurants and 2 apartments. has had over 3 wives, and now is with my mom, he also has 2 kids from his first wife.the "kids" r actually adults. his oldest son is older than my mom :O and his younger daughter is as old as my mom. so dad has diabetes& multiple health problems. so because of his diabetes, its good to drink stuff like whiskey? idk. but hes almost ALWAYS drunk. hes been like this for as long as i can remember. he’ll be vomiting in the bathroom for hours and finally stumble out of the bathroom and almost fall.
brother: 16 yrs old(17 in 3 months),"used" to be a major-weed-Smoker. he got caught stealing $$ from one of my dads restaurants with another worker, got in huge trouble, blah blah blah. felt really embarrassed since my uncle told all our family&friends.so my brother took a bug bottle of xtra strength tylenol and went to the BR, he opened the cap, my mom screamed my dads name and told him to come upstairs, while i stuck my arm in the door to prevent my brother from closing it. (i later got huge bruises on my arm from it)and snatched the bottle and told him to stop being so fucking stupid. and this all happened last month.now dad stopped talking to my brother and everyone, but now he talks to everyone except for my brother.
sister:shes pretty much an average 9 yr old, my parent still loovvee her to death.
me:13 (almost 14) .alright grades, but they went down this year.ive Pretty much been like a big sister to my bro all my life. ive saved him from committing suicide twice…
but its getting kinda hard to ignore my family when they do stuff like this:
-after the whole parents finding out about my brother smoking thing i got my laptop taken away while my bro has his
-me & my bro secretly have myspaces, facebooks, emails, etc.
-mom HATES me.
why? because:
-she one woke me up one day for school and started lecturing me about how much of a useless failure i am at life&everything i do. she said i was a mistake.that she didn’t mean to have another child,
-told me to die i my sleep.
-told me she wishes ii were dead.
-is extremely aggressive.
-hits me once in a while, like slaps me.
-gets my brother to hit me if i do something wrong
-wanted to send me to boarding school when i was 10, because i "did no work around the house & im useless"
-has made me think how life would be for everyone else if i had just died.but i have the best of friends, the type who would die FOR me.
-complains about everything i do:how i dress, look, talk, etc.
my brother wants to move out when hes 18,
he also admits that my mom treats me like shit.& that she hates me.
my parents threaten to move back to their country if we turn out to be "too modern,& american"wtf?!!?! isn’t that illegal?i am an american citizen. i was born here, ive lived here my whole life,so im almost 100% american, except for my looks.im also a muslim, bt not very religious. but im still not allowed to wear shorts, capris, tanks tops,, and all tht.
do they excpext me to live my whole life like this? what else can i do?
-run away.but thats not gonna work out too well…
-boarding school?
-foster parents?
please help before i do something stupid and mess up my life? and plz no bullshitt answers.
also, i forgot to add:my dads never realllyy spent time with his kids(me, big brother&little sister.)
hes always been busy working. hes provided us with food, money&all our needs, but never really got to know us.
my mom basically feels like a single parent.

Okay. So, I checked out The Host from my library at school. I won’t be able to read anything for read for awhile since my Dad will be sending Eclipse in a week or so to me. But, it might take a little long since he’s sending it Internationally here to the U.S. So, today, this morning, I went to my library and I saw The Host on the new books cart. I thought it was interesting since it was different from what Stephenie Meyer is known for, Twilight. So, I checked it out. Also because a lot of critics and other authors think The Host is good. But, some people thought the book wasn’t good. One girl thought it was stupid. I’m also hesitant on reading it because I’m not really into Science Fiction and because the book is meant for adults not young adults.

So, what I am asking is…should I read The Host?

Please give thought about this. I really want to know. But, please, NO SPOILERS.

hey…well anyways i was wondering if there was anything wrong with me…like conditionally….i know this sounds weird but well, i have always felt that sometimes i just don’t fit in…and it’s bothering me…so here are some symtoms:

1. i am not aware of my surroundings, especially when i read….for example…once my family and i went grocery shopping and there was a shopping cart that i saw was blocking us from entering the parking spot…so i got out of the car and put it out of the way…then i went back to the car…and my mom was yelling at me, saying why i didn’t remove the second cart…i look back and i see another one there…and i SWEAR that i didn’t see that before!

2. I am obsessed with grammar…like i hate it when my teachers have poor grammar and spelling mistakes…once my teacher handed out a worksheet and his grammar was terrible! so i spent my time crossing out words and fixing the sentences instead of actually working on the problems…

3. I don’t laugh or smile easily…i’m not depressed i know that for sure but i’m not overly joyful either….there are very very few people that can make me laugh really hard…most of the time when i’m around friends and family i just smile…and sometimes i have to force it

4. i’m easily irritable and i don’t know why…i never used to be like this so i don’t know why i am like this now…

5. I sometimes don’t like approaching teachers and asking them for help…because i feel like i’m "bugging" them when i know that it is their job to help me…as well as other students…

6. I sometimes read certain novels so that i can enter a different, fantasy world to get away from reality, but i know the difference.

7. I can cry literally at a drop of a hat…and half of the time it’s for other people, not for me…i cry when i see others in pain, even if it is during a movie or book or something….and my parents often get mad at me when they see me cry because they think i’m being "weak."

8. I don’t really fit in with people my age…i can sometimes get along better with adults….like sometimes one of the my teachers will strive up a conversation before class starts..and i am able to talk to them but when i talk to my peers i can’t think of anything to say…then my friends start accusing me of being a "suck up" or "kissing a**"

so if you could please help me…tell me if i have some undiagnosed condition or am just being a hormonal teenager….lol thanks

no rude answers please!

I would like to go in a nice restaurant or coffee shop with the relative assurance of not being disturbed by someone’s child. One cannot truly control small children and they should be excluded from certain spaces until they are old enough to behave appropriately. Do these parents just not care enough to be considerate of other people? Also, I think childrens’ manners have become horrible in the past 15 years or so, probably as the result of the rash of selfish, entitled parents we are seeing: people allowing their kids to smear their dirty feet on chairs where someone will later sit, talk loudly or run around disturbing everyone! I hate those squeaky shoes used by parents who reproduce bit can’t be bothered to then watch their children. I am tired of seeing children standing in shoes inside of grocery carts, where we put our food, after walking on the street in the rat and pigeon crap. Being trapped in a plane with someone who doesn’t believe in stopping their kid from kicking my seat for 13 hours on a recent trip and justifying it because he is two appalled me. Has anyone else noticed that people are not teaching their children to behave public, controlling them or leaving them home where appropriate (no, one can’t go everywhere with them; having them involves responsibility) and are instead inflicting untaught children on others, any time, anywhere, and justifying their rudeness? It is part of being a parent to teach a child how we behave in public with consideration for others and it’s apparently not being taught much anymore.
From the huge amount of entitlement and defensiveness here, I can see where these children are getting their inconsideration for others. To these parents: YOU had them; it is YOUR responsibility and no one else’s to keep them polite in public and to take them only to appropriate venues for children. When you had them, surely you didn’t think your life would be the same and there would be no sacrifices. They are your sacrifices to make, not the public’s. I take it you all have been met with a lot of disapproval on public! As for the person saying i should be happy to be kicked during an entire 12 hour flight, you try it! As for the woman who doesn’t mind unsanitary shoe soles in grocery carts, you certainly have a high tolerance for dog crap and whatever else is on the sidewalk. I love well-bred children and dislike ill-mannered children; from all the defensiveness here, I take it yours are in the ill-bred category. Children can be taught: I know children with nice manners!
