what can i do?

Answer 1

Girl, you sound like every other teenager who is bored this summer. I'm 45, a mother, and I remember feeling as you did when I was a teen (I'm assuming you are a teen). As for the 105 pounds, please don't obsess about your weight. That's not healthy. Just make sure you eat right and get plenty of rest and exercise and your weight will be what it should be. If you are truly overweight, then your doctor can advise you as to a healthier lifestyle, but somehow, I suspect you may already be too thin, from what you said in your question.

As to your makeup running down your face, I would try a powder foundation instead of a liquid one. They work wonders. Waterproof mascara is also a good bet, as well as liquid eyeliner. While you have to let the eyeliner dry before you apply eye shadow, it doesn't run or smudge in hot weather like the cream eyeliner does.

It's not fun to be grounded. I know. I've been grounded myself plenty of times. Not much you can do about that, but as a parent, if I see a good attitude in my kids, I am sometimes willing to substitute an alternative punishment than grounding. It's worth a try.

As for your mother working too hard and you not talking to her much, I understand that one all too well. Parents have a responsibility to provide for their kids. When you factor the cost to rent or make house payments, your electric/gas bill, your water/trash bill (if you have to pay for that), your car insurance, health insurance, food, sundry items such as shampoo and toilet paper, gas for the car and clothes and other necessities, it is very expensive to provide for oneself, let alone for a family. I'd try to ask your mom if there is anything you can do to help out. That could ease her stress/burdens a bit and could make her more receptive to making the time to spend with you that she might not otherwise feel she has enough energy to do.

The thing about tans is that they do fade. Sometimes they don't always look good, but take heart that your tan will have improved its appearance before school starts up again. If you have internet access, which you obviously do, then have you tried MySpace or other forums for kids? If so, please be careful and don't reveal too much information and don't be too trusting. You could play online games or join a Yahoo Group that might cater to your interests. You can find one at the Yahoo Homepage. I know this might sound lame, but when you are not grounded, you might want to look into programs at your local YMCA. They have lots of interesting things geared for all members of the family and there are plenty of people your own age, having a good time and doing fun things at a reasonable price. If you can't afford some of their activities, they do have financial aid assistance, I believe.

Anyway, I wish you the best and I hope things improve for you. To me, your life sounds easy, but I remember all too well how it was to be a kid/teen and your feelings and frustrations are very valid. Hang in there, keep confiding in your sister, and as for the hair, try a Revlon do-it-yourself coloring kit in a different shade. They cost around $4.00 and they are pretty easy to do. Just remember that the shade you see on the box is usually slightly lighter than how it will actually look on your hair. Good luck and hang in there. You'll be back to having fun before you know it.

Answer 2

I don't see how you can suck at anything when after all, you caught my attention immediately with that opening line.
I also see that your complaining is a story in itself. So start writing a diary and build up those hidden writing skills. Keeping notes about your depressing life may kindle some further ideas to write a teen book, make money, possibly be the next "Harry Potter" author only with females. Then you can be occupied with your looks, your weight, your time management, and all the rest of your complaints so that you won't scare people. Makeup that runs? They still make stuff like that? That's so 60's.

Answer 3

Get out of "self" mode and find some place to volunteer your time.
Get a job if you are old enough.
adopt a hobby of some kind that keeps your mind and your hands busy.

LOL...... BORED IN THE USA?

Notice that there is a immigration problem in the USA, not an emigration problem. Thousand of people want to get into the US so they are not bored where they live.

Answer 4

Yeah, you sound really young.

105 pounds is BS, just be happy with who you are regardless of weight or appearance.

Don't wear makeup that will run on hot days, or just get better quality makeup.

Don't tan, it's not good for you.

Hang out with your sister more.

Stop reading stupid magazines and counting calories. Go outside, walk around, whatever.

As far as your hair goes, changing from jet black to anything else will require bleaching. Get it cut, or cut it yourself, or get your sister to cut it. Be happy with what you have, most have so much less. :]

Answer 5

You sound like a teenager, which is a self-centered stage of your life. But don't worry, in 10 or so years, you will find that life has so many complications without you creating them for yourself, and you won't have time for all these excess worries you have now. Enjoy this time you have now, because before you know it, it will be gone and then you will wish for the simpler times when you could make up things to worry about.

Answer 6

you can start by stopping. Stop crying and complaining. no offense. look at the positive things, no matter how small they are. You have all ur limbs right? your vision? you could hear? I'm sure you're still young. Don't be afraid to try new things. be adventurous. you never know what ur true passion will be. explore.

Answer 7

Get off your rear end. Do some voluntary work at a local hospital or nursing home.....get busy.....an idle mind is the devil's workshop......and that is your problem. You have too much time to think about me, me, me, me. Think about others and how YOU can help THEM. Lots of places need voluntary help!! Do it. Pops

Answer 8

Depending on your age (i.e. if you're 16 or older) you could always get a job. I did, and it did wonders for me. Try retail, like CVS/Wal-Greens/Rite-Aid. Publix is also a good choice--everyone and their mother's worked there at one point or another ('cept me...*sigh*).

But yeah. Jobs are great, and retail is wonderful, especially if you're outgoing and get along with a lot of people really easily.

Answer 10

Do some volunteer work - you are too self-centered. Focusing on yourself will always leave you underwhelmed. It's a trap. When you focus on others, your life will improve 100%.
