Family - January 2007

k I'm a girl 4'11, 16 yrs. old, lately this past year I HAVE really become REALLY SELF-CONSIOUS of my height, and I doubt that I'll grow more, (even though I reaaally want too)

And my dad keeps saying..

"Drink milk, so you can grow more.."

"Exersize so you can grow more..."

"Sleep early so you can grow more..."

"Next year hopefully you will grow to 5'4 or 5'5...
just sleep more"

"Take vitamins so you'll grow more..."

And my mother is like....

"Did you grow more?...wow your almost as tall as your father"

WHEN in reality i was wearing 1 inch slippers, and my father is literally a COUPLE of inches way taller of me.


THEY ASK THESE QUESTIONS EVERY other day or week, they are basically giving me false hope and just making me more self consious...

my relatives are also like...

"too bad your not as tall as your father..."

or..

"ur short"

THEYRE COMMENTS , AGGRAVATE ME SO MUCH!
I tell them to stop saying that, but they don't listen...

So I am very involved with music- I am in all the concert bands at my school, and I taught myself how to play guitar by myself. I have paid for all my own instruments and I really don't ask my parents for much when it comes to my music. Anyway, I mentioned to my mother that I want to work as a musician when I am older (as a part time thing) and she FLIPPED OUT. She said that I will make no money and that it is really hard to make it in that business, and that I should be a lawyer or something instead. My mom thinks I am wasting my time with music- she doesn't go to my concerts very often and she despises every aspect of my passion for music. I am a great student in school and an all around well behaved kid. I don't really understand what her problem is... but how can I make my mom accept the fact that I want to be a musician? Is there anything I can do for her to stop lecturing me about this?

They always mess up again.. and well I know being a bridesmaid isnt that big of a deal.. Should I just say F*uck off to him? I mean I really dont care if Im a bridesmaid or not as his wedding...

I'm 21, and due to unforeseeable, terrible circumstances, I've moved back in with my Mom. (I had lived by myself for 3 years.) My mom and I have ALWAYS had a wonderful relationship; I've never been a problem child - I go to school full time and work as well. My mom's a great person too, it's not anything to do with who we are as people - but we just get on each other's last nerve every day. We just pick at each other... and when we fight it's awful. We still have fun, we don't fight constantly - but why is it so easy? It has to be something psychological. I think on my end - I'm annoyed by the things she does that I get from her. Does that make sense? But it's more than that - and although I'm not a teen, it's that classic teen and mom relationship. Why is it so easy to clash with your parents? Especially same sex

abused by a child care provider he lived for 4 yrs and then he passed away. The lady who was watching a lady from my church 30 something years old did it. Was charged with Murder in the 1st degree she was aquitted. Well, I found out today that she killed herself. I also found out that my only son and her shared the same birthday and that she killed herself on my birthday. Do you think that there is some kind of karma going on here? Do you think it is eerie that it happened this way. She would NOT have known my birthday.

I have a problem that has been weighing on my mind a lot lately...

First of all - I am an only child. I have a mom and my dad - my dad had been disabled since before i was born - he has also had 8 heart bypasses, 2 artificial knees - one artificial hip. He is set to have his second hip replaced in March. He is also bipolar and has other mental problems.

My mom was a teacher for 36 years - she fell while at work - hit her head and got brain damage. Her balance is very bad and some of her memory was lost. She also had a lot of heath problems - kidneys i think are a main problem and other issues. My mom is actually in the hospital right now - since 1/23 she has an pneumonia and her kidney function is low. They are both overweight and have diabetes as well - they are on insulin. My mom is 59, my dad is 61 and I am 21.

The problem -- I go to school over 2 hours south of where they live. I have an apartment down there and live with my boyfriend of 5 years.

So i have this plan...for over the summer. My friends and i were talking about how much we missed our childhood. And i came up with this idea to play all these kids games over the summer at a local park.

-My plan is to play: Capture the flag - both teams are going to have different colored shirts on right..and instead of tagging people...we would use balloons filled with water

-We were also going to play 4-square, parachute, tug of war, a big game of basketball and dodge ball.-

--i haven't really told my friends about this yet....
I'm kind-of embarrassed and feel they might think it's stupid. If you were 18 and a freshman in college would you think this was a stupid idea? Do you think it's a stupid idea? Tell me what you think before i go and tell them....about it

Would you do this at 18? Should i get rid of any of my ideas? OPINIONS PLEASE!

All i would like to know if you think
-4-square
-tug of war
-parachute
-capture the flag
-basketball
are they to immature of games to play?

Lets say that you(males) were adopted at 6 months, and you have always known it. You are 39 years old, and its 1998. You go to your Uncle and Aunt's house to visit, and in front of my Adoptive dad(who knows about your real Parents) and your sister, your Aunt mentions a brother that you knew nothing about, thinking that you had known. How would you feel to learn about this brother? Would you feel as I do?
I have felt a little hurt since 1998. Now, to this day, I wonder who (Ricky) is, where he could be. Is this a normal reaction? Sincere honest answers, please.

Me just being a curious person, I had to ask. I read in my sociology text about the concerns and problems of high schools. Here is what they were:

A mere 50 years ago, the concern in public schools consisted of
1. Students not doing their homework
2. Spitballs
3. Leaving the lights on
4. Running in the halls.

Now the top concerns of schools are

1. Gangs
2. Drugs
3. Date Rape
4. Violence in school.

As a parent, what is your reactions toward these statistics?

I'm 15, wise. good student, don't get in trouble. My parents are good too. Yet, we have problems, sometimes we fight and each other. For 4 months I was kinda resentful and we had an icy relationship. We made up last week, and if they had explained their reasons before I wouldn't have been so resentful. Why all this mess, they're adults.

What should I do? I told her friend when she was at my house sleeping over that Caroline, my daughter, is not allowed to smoke and she wasn't either while she was at my house. I think her parents are so irrresponsible for encouraging such behavior. The worst thing is that Caroline smelt like cigarttes when she came home from school. What do I do? I think she is smoking and she denies it. I am at my wit's end.

My dad is retarded. He is probably the worst dad i know. He was never home. But the worst part was that he wasn't ever THERE for me when I was little and when I was 10 my parents divorced, but quite frankly, I was relieved. He would yell and hit us (like not abusively.. well i guess technichally it was, but like w/ a belt) anyway, he was never a father to me and he still isn't. Since they've divorced (I'm almost 14) I've seen him what, 3 times? He calls us about three times every year. Once to get us to his house, the other b/c my step mom calls us first..and we usually get into a fight w/ him on that phone call..and the third to tell us he's moving yet again. (He's very typical) He married a woman and I like her b/c she's exactly like me mom (looks and all) b/c my dad wasn't over her and I'm sure he's abused her b4 which is really sad, but I'm almost positive he has. Anyway, me and my dad have always had problems b/c he is just a alsdjf;lajsdfl; and I couldn't ever stand it...........

I worry all the time that he is gonna get hurt. it could be the hormones or the fact that i have not heard from him in 4 days and the last thing he said was he was waiting to leave iraq. please help
