Question

I have been in trouble with the law in the past and I feel thats ruined my relationship with everybody literally friends family and just people who have heard of me dont want anything to do with me what do I do to make my life any better my mother is scared of me and that makes me very angry with myself I just dont know what to do?

Answer 1

yeah i felt even worse when i was your age. i was in extreme depression during my entire late teens and if i was not fantasizing about girls then i was spending the vast majority of my time thinking of death, but lucky may imagination saved me and i just thought of the mood as being in a very long tunnel and that there is a light at the end of it, and since i am the ultimate cheapskate i also imagined my life as a very bad movie but im so cheap i will not walk out of the theater since i cant get my money back so i will just sit here until it ends and maybe learn a lesson or two which i imagine is why GOD put me here. [ i also have been in trouble with the law and most consider me one of the worst kinds of criminals but even though i know the road to hell is paved with good intentions if GOD is willing then i will make up for it someday one way or another.]

Answer 2

Your 17 years old , and I suppose this is a cry for help?
I'm 68 years old, an old far* for sure!
When I was your age I had already done 1 year jail time with another 4 to do, which I had to do, this included corporal punishment which you know nothing about or think that was done away with thousands of years ago, it wasn't!
So you have also "been in trouble with the law"? big deal!
"Nobody loves you"??
After my 5 years was done I had the choice, join the army or stay where I was, I joined the army.
My jail time did nothing for me, I was still an ars* hole (even worse) when I had done my time.
My initial weeks in the army didn't do a lot to make me 'lovable' no one was going to tell me what to do etc etc.
However, I met a great bunch of fellers and gradually settled in, and after doing my time in the military I had friends and gradually matured. I look back now on my life and know I was an ars* hole (first class) and deserved all I got!
I have no time for 'councilling ' what do they know? nothing, they have a little set of guide lines they have been nowhere done nothing.
Sort your self out , join the military, do whatever, you can do it yourself, whatever you do do not join any religious group, this will make you more nutty than you already are!!
And if you need any sympathy , dont ask me, I'm not into that, get your finger out and think harder, even if it hurts your head a bit!!!!t

Answer 3

alot of kids and you are still just a kid make mistakes and have the same feelings you are having now. i know it seems like things will never get any better but just wait. by changing your attitude towards everyone else and by that i mean acknowledge they have a right to feel the way they do because of your own actions. i am sure they havent stopped loving and caring about you but when u screw up, your family and friends are the first ones to tell u about it. they do this because they love you. you cant ruin those relationships just hurt them. take a look at yourself and see what u can do to show them u are the same good guy inside. suggest NOT GETTING INTO ANY MORE TROUBLE and caring about yourself. make plans for your future by getting good grades maybe going to church taking care of the way u look and do simple things to show your mom u really do love her like picking up after yourself doing things around the house without being asked be respectful to her. most of all the biggest thing u can do to change this is care about yourself. if u do this then the rest will follow. be patient. this wont happen over night but just hang in there and you will see what i mean. if u take your own life then all u are doing is destroying your parents and making all the nasty things people say true . in 3 months if u do these things i promise they will start to look at u in a different way. also tell them u are sorry . little by little.

Answer 4

Get some counseling. If your really considering ending your life call the suicide hotline. Talk to your mom tell her that your upset because you screwed up and she is scared of you. Then change, don't just say your going to change but do it. You can. Get some anger management counseling, as well as some medication for depression and perhaps a life coach or mentoring. Your young and now is the time to turn things around. It's good that you are figuring out now that you need some change in your life and not old and in jail wondering why you never thought about changing before.

Answer 5

hey hun!
listen, i do sometimes go by "life sucks and then you die so why not finnish now"...but i sit with loud music and just think about absolutely everything there is in my life. i always find at least 1 thing or someone to live for. and sometimes, when i dont, i think about the way people would be without me.

you are 17, soon u are old enough to move out to a place where no one knows you, a fresh new start. hang in there, i totally know you can do it. just because people dont think much of you sometimes, it doesnt tell you what you are really worth. you never ever know how much you mean to some people.

Answer 6

look... you are going to have to WANT to change the way you are and not by killing yourself. You are young, all of your records stay protected until you are 18, people aren't going to change their opinon of you overnight, you'll have to prove yourself to be trying to live better. I lost my brother to suicide and it still torments me emotionally even after 10 years. You think that people don't care about you but you are wrong. Losing my brother almost drove my mother crazy. I don't think you want to impose that burden upon your mom, family, friends and anyone who knows you. When someone you know of dies, no matter how much you hate them, you never feel that hate anymore, all the hate is replaced by some level of sadness, remorse and guilt for all the things said and done & even the things not said or done. It's not worth it. You have your whole life ahead of you. The trouble you are going through know are there to make you stronger. It's what makes you grow and be successful to live on. Be strong and keep your head up, you have to have faith in the future.

Answer 7

I can't imagine what you could have done to make you Mom afraid of you. I've raised 6 boys, only 3 were mine biologically, and I've never feared any of them though two did give me a lot of grief with breaking laws, skipping school, drugs, etc. I did get so that I didn't trust them when they told me anything, so my response to them was always "Don't tell me you've changed, show me". You made bad choices, now its time to atone. It will take effort to win those back that you alienated but you can do it. Maybe family counseling would be a good start, have you suggested it to your mom? I'm sure she would see it as an effort on your part to start putting things right.

Answer 8

The fact that you want to change is a good thing. I think that first you need to make amends with your mum as she is scared of you don't just go around to her house (if you don't live with her), as she will be scared. However if you do live with her try doing things around the house, offer to go shopping with her or even to take her out somewhere even if its just for a walk.

As you have upset so many people you are really going to have to prove yourself. Start by trying to get a job, it doesn't matter what sort of work you do but try and get something. If you are finding that hard (which it could be don't get angry about it, especially to your mum, but try and deal with your anger in anyway way), why not try doing community work. This will hopefully get you out and about and if others see that you are being responsible hopefully they will give you a chance.

Also by doing this you will also make new friends. It's going to hard but just try and believe in yourself and try to stay out of trouble and you need to gain trust back with your mum that is the most important to do

Answer 9

Many of us, when we were young made mistakes, and we felt similar. I know at one time I thought of suicide. But that is never the answer to problems. They cause more for the family. Your mom may be scared of you, but I'm sure she loves you deeply. Try to mend your relationship with her and the rest of the family.
No mother wants to lose their child.
I think you need to seek help from a counselor, someone who can remain neutral. Pour out your heart to them.
In time you will be able to get past this. But you need to work on your self right now. You are of value. You may not feel that way right now. But you are. God, he gave his son Jesus as a ransom sacrifice for all of us. Why? Because he felt we were of value, and they loved us. Even if no one loves you right now, if you change for the better, God will continue to love you. Don't throw a life away. Use your life for good.
In time the pain and heart break will mend, and heal. Just give it time. Please try not to hurt yourself or your family, by resorting to disobeying of the laws, or to suicide. There are so many beautiful things in this world, like love, don't miss out on them.
