I get freaked out and can't really look at a balloon when someone lets one go because as it goes far...it gets kind of weird for me.

Is this normal or anyone know anything about this?

My sister has beed sooooo nasty to me all my life. She is 18, and I am 16. This is not usual sibling fighting. Just before she was at the sink, washing her hands, and I was waiting behind her. She unknowingly stepped back into me, and stepped on my foot. No harm to her, and her fault. I appologised, and she starts screaming at the top of her lungs about how I am ruining her like, and what a little a$$hole I am, etc. This nice of her compared to usual. I just don't get it. I put up with this all my life, even as a small child. She is most hateful to me after I do something nice for her. I could go on, but this is the basics. I was looing for some opinions. I just made this box, and don't even remember the password, so I will not be able to give details.

OH, and she is nasty to many people. I hate being in public with her, because if someone even looks at her she starts screaming and namecalling. Most people look at me like I am white trash just for being with her when she starts.

I've changed mine and am getting far less answers than I used to, for a similar line of questioning.

I'm half mexican, half "white". My parents divorced when I was 2 and I've been raised primarily by my mom. She is white, but not exactly sure what her ethnicity is (italian? spanish?) Shes dark with dark hair ;light eyes. For the past few years I have just identified myself as hispanic, or mexican. I feel like I'm betraying my mom in some way though because she and my step father raised me and my dad wasn't steadily in the picture. (lived 4 states away). I do speak with him though. I've heard before that "you are what your mother is" but I don't know what my mother is. At least I know for a fact that I am half mexican. Have you heard of this saying before? Should I feel like I'm betraying mom when I say I'm hispanic? She kind of gets annoyed by it and says I should just say I'm European. I look mexican and for some reason people always ask me what my ethnicity is. What would you say?

I am a mother of a 15 year old girl. I was cleaning her room and I saw her diaries, I decided to take a little peek, and I discovered something shocking and disturbing, for what I can tell she have being kicking boys between the legs at least from the third grade until now! I had no idea! Her diary is full of stories about it. And the detail, names and dates, everything is registered. By her words I really can tell she loves it, and is almost like a hobby! She describes the boy’s physical and emotional suffering, and how hilarious she thinks it is and that sometimes….she gets wet!!! And that she and her girlfriends keep score!!!, and the different ways to do it, and that boys never hit back and how funny she thinks that is. I feel very sorry for the kids. Now that she is older, most of the times she pretends to be angry at something they did, she makes up excuses. I just could not continue to read anymore, it makes me want to cry.

Okay so I've come to terms with the fact that I have a complex (see previous question asked for details) and that it wouldn't be a half-bad idea to seek some counceling. Problem is that I'm not sure what kind of doctor/therapist/councelor I should be seeking out for medical help. My friend, who is a psychology major at the same college I go to, suggested that I see a psychotherapist. My mother, on the other hand, has suggested that any doctor along these lines could help. So what kind of help exactly should I seek? I'm not really too informed on the whole psychotherapist thing and when I looked it up, it just made me more confused. This kind of seems over the top to me and even a bit much, know what I mean? So am I just being paranoid?? Also, I'm already on meds for other things so I'm looking for a strictly non-pharmacutical treatment...is this the type of pychological help I should be looking for??
