You can't please some people. Don't take it personally. Your uncle seems to have a serious personal problem. The things you have chosen to do aren' t the best decisions. I think your uncle wants you to focus soley on football. He wants you to stay away from drinking and drugs. That DOES NOT give him the right to be a complete *** to you though. Life is worth it and you'll find out how much when you get out of school and into the real world. In the big scheme of things high school is trivial. Do the best you can. That's all anyone can ask of you. If you know you are doing your best that's all you can do. Never feel bad as long as you know that you gave it your all.

You should try to talk to your uncle. It sounds like he's the type of person who will act like he's not listening when he really is. It sounds like he cares about you which is why he puts so much pressure on you. Some men have a hard time showing emotion though, so it comes out as this negative thing. I think that if you talked to him about how you are just trying to please him and that you have made mistakes and you're trying to learn from them it would help. I think that most teenagers experiment and get into some kind of trouble. You don't sound like you're a bad kid. I did tons of stuff that I shouldn't have when I was a teen. That doesn't make it alright, but $%&* happens. If you sit him down and ask if the two of you can have a serious conversation maybe he'll listen. Don't make it a screaming match though! If yelling starts end the conversation. It just sounds like you really care about him and he really cares about you and you both just got mixed up along the way. It scares parents or guardians when they're kids get into trouble and especially when it's a path they've been down. They know the outcome of the situation, but they can't stop the kid from exploring and it hurts them on a deeper level than ever imaginable. I hope that this isn't an abusive situation that you're in...and if it is I hope that you can find the courage to get out of it. Without resulting to something drastic. Take care of yourself

you don't wanna die, everyone has a perpose here on this earth and you will figure out what yours is in time. I have been there with the drugs and drinking as a minor, a few tickets and a few nights in a detention center, was not fun. Im glad to see you quit the stuff. Wait till you grow up for drinking there is plenty of time to drink. Cherish your moments you have with our uncle, even if he does get on your nerves. find the courage to stand up and talk to him about your problems your having, not argue, but make him understand how you feel. You never know what if it was more then his foot that he broke what if he would have lost his life? life--- its too short to spend it fighting and arguing. and it goes by way to fast at times. enjoy it, help others, and stay out of trouble. but always live young HAVE FUN!!

maybe when he see's you partying getting drunk and stoned he just hatesit and hated to see you waste your life doing that stuff---peer pressureis a common thing amongst alot of teens--but remember its best to do the things you want because you know how it makes you feel inside--no one else knows how you feel--
now i was reading few other questions you asked---- about sports---too tall too short--dont weigh enough---theres a movie out called rudy-- about a guy too short for sports--he never gave up and proved them wrong---
never give up and by all means--be your own self--you say you hang around certain people and they got you into drinking and stuff again--how did they get you to do it---did they hold you down pour it down your throat--did theyput the joint in yourmouthand make you smoke it--
how about if everyone jumped offa bridge or decided to do things sexually that you wouldnt normally do-- would you do it because they did it/its time you decide what you want to make of your life--no one else living it for you--only thing your unle cando is try to point you in the right direction--
and help him outmuch as possible--you need to help him seethat he needs to see that you have potential --and i hope you do---life is too short to let others decide how you are going to live it--live life--and lbe happy---good luck

william, eveybody goes through the stage when your parents just flat out suck. "they dont understand" and "they dont let me do anything" is somthing all kids go through. just stick with it though, soon enough you'll be on your own. keep your head up.
