NEED HELP!!!! please really help.?

Question

Ok, now i am an young 14 year old writter ( believe it, you may not like my work but OK thats your opinion) i have not published nothing big, i am working on a serious dramatic novel (really i am, i'v got 165 pages) but you see my mom thinks i am a nuisince (srry i can't spell that, i am in a hurry) and im not. she thinks that becuase i was friends with some one and i guess she had done drugs (i did not know it at the time) so she thinks i am only because i have been kinda depressed due to the loss of my friend (not the drug one). and i had attempted suicide before (dumb thing to do, and i regret it) so she sent me too PCC (looney bin basically) for therapy, and i told him this. but hes just retarded. what can i do to show my mom?

Answer 1

Wow, i don't know much but all I can say is talk to your mom explain to her all this. But the only way you can show her is stay there for about 2 weeks and don't cause ANY TROUBLE AT ALL. Be a perfect angel, then maybe she will get you out of there. That's all I can think of, Good Luck!

Answer 2

Watcher. In your previous writing, your subject matter is very thought provoking. I do not know why you might have attempted suicide in the past but the fact that you recognize that it was an ill thing to do shows that you have realized the error in that. I hope that you don't get to that point again. Remember that life, although sometimes overwhelming, is a tremendous journey that will always (and I do mean ALWAYS) going to be filled with highs and lows. We will have Extraordinary times and we will have frightful falls. But through it all, there always is a new beginning.

Your mom worries because, I assume, there has been a behavioral pattern to you from the past that she looks at to hope that will not repeat itself. If she sent you to get help, it was, for lack of a better phrase, tough love. You have to remember that the people you associate with have a direct reflection on you. Only you know who you are. A parent sees the people around you as a threat to you character. If they are pessimistic then she will believe that will influence your life. Especially if you have gone down that road of depression before.

I'm not a mom but I led my mother on a whirlwind ride before. They didn't know whether I was coming or going. You have to start seeing yourself through their eyes before you can understand why they are keeping you under such close watch.

Good luck to you.

Answer 3

Boy that is a hard one, but being a parent of a 21 yr old and a 17 yr old I can understand where your Mom is coming from, your mom can only go by what she sees since all of the therapy sessions you are or where in are confidential the therapist can only discuss things with her if they think you are in danger. If you want your Mom to take you seriously then you have to earn that right all over again, that might suck but that's the way it is, trust is given freely the first time and you abused it now you have to earn it back..................Good Luck

Answer 4

well, i think you need to sit down with your mom, let her know your not a nuiscence, tell her you have changed and that she really doesnt need to hold on to the past. forgive and forget

Answer 5

If the human mind is anything, it is of these two things: the Will, it is positive, and the Judgment, it is negative. As it is true with you, I am certain it is true of your mother; that she has will for you as she also has judgment. I certain you judge your self, but is it not better to let the Judgment judge its self. That is to say, to direct ones negativity to the source its self, to keep it in its place, under control of your Will, to be positive. Speak of your negative feelings, your depression to your mother and your hopes.

Here's some reading on human psychology:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Erickson

Each of Erikson's stages of psychosocial development are marked by a conflict, for which successful resolution will result in a favourable outcome, for example, trust vs. mistrust, and by an important event that this conflict resolves itself around, for example, weaning.

Stage One Oral-Sensory: from birth to one, trust vs. mistrust, feeding;

Stage Two Muscular-Anal: 1-3 years, autonomy vs.doubt, toilet training;

Stage Three Locomotor: 3-6 years, initiative vs.inadequacy, independence;

Stage Four Latency: 6-12 years, industry vs.inferiority, school;

Stage Five Adolescence: 12-18 years, identity vs.confusion, peer relationships;

Stage Six Young Adulthood: 18-40 years, intimacy vs.isolation, love relationships;

Stage Seven Middle Adulthood: 40-65 years, generativity vs.stagnation, parenting;

Stage Eight Maturity: 65 years until death, integrity vs.despair, acceptance of one's life.

Stages of Cognitive Development. Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development:

Sensorimotor stage (Infancy). In this period (which has 6 stages), intelligence is demonstrated through motor activity without the use of symbols. Knowledge of the world is limited (but developing) because its based on physical interactions / experiences. Children acquire object permanence at about 7 months of age (memory). Physical development (mobility) allows the child to begin developing new intellectual abilities. Some symbollic (language) abilities are developed at the end of this stage.

Pre-operational stage (Toddler and Early Childhood). In this period (which has two substages), intelligence is demonstrated through the use of symbols, language use matures, and memory and imagination are developed, but thinking is done in a nonlogical, nonreversable manner. Egocentric thinking predominates

Concrete operational stage (Elementary and early adolescence). In this stage (characterized by 7 types of conservation: number, length, liquid, mass, weight, area, volume), intelligence is demonstarted through logical and systematic manipulation of symbols related to concrete objects. Operational thinking develops (mental actions that are reversible). Egocentric thought diminishes.

Formal operational stage (Adolescence and adulthood). In this stage, intelligence is demonstrated through the logical use of symbols related to abstract concepts. Early in the period there is a return to egocentric thought. Only 35% of high school graduates in industrialized countries obtain formal operations; many people do not think formally during adulthood.
