I would not know how to look after myself if mom and dad die. What can I do?

Question

They help me out and are my only friends. I can't seem to make any other friends cause nobody else likes me. I rely on them and have tried to look after myself but find it hard. What can I do? Please don't say I am pathetic

Answer 1

First of all, you aren't pathetic. I love my parents too and if they died, I'd be devastated.
Nest, try and make some friends. It's a little over dramatic to say that people don't like you. I'm sure you can find one friend. Friends are important, trust me.
Last, I'm sure your parents have a plan for who will look after you if they were to die. Ask them about it. You'll probably have to live with a close family friend or a relative.
Try not to worry so much! Be happy! Life is good. Don't think too much into the future. Live in the now. I wish I had.

Answer 2

You didn't mention how old you are, but since you said you have tried to look after yourself I am assuming you are past high school. Your post makes me very sad for you to be feeling this way. You can't dwell on the "what if's" because sometimes those are far far away. Focus on what you have right now and be happy that you have such loving parents that care for you the way they do. As for not having any friends...I can personally tell you that having friends isn't anything but a huge headache because they end up using you a lot of the time, but if you want to try and have people to just socialize with, join a book club, or a church, or something that you are interested in that others are interested in also. I'm sorry your sad, but it will be okay.

Answer 3

I think you have to build up your self esteem. I suspect that they may not like you because you try to hard to be their friend. Try doing things to make you feel better about yourself. I will list a book below to read free. You don't say what grade you are in but I suspect that you are young which is why you worry about this.and so my answer really is based upon the fact that I think you are young, and as you grow older you will find more friends.
As far as relying upon your parents so much, perhaps try to think of things you can do to learn to not rely on them. If you have a problem with school work for example, try to figure it out yourself before you go to them. You can get some DMAE from a health food store - a natural substance but it will help with memory and concentration and perhaps as you get better grades than some people in school they will want to be your friend for that reason perhaps as well.
Again, since I think you may be young, as you grow older you will learn how to be on your own more and hopefully it will be years before your parents die and by that time you will be prepared to take care of yourself. Good Luck to you!!

Answer 4

Your a child of God if something happened to your parents Im sure God would make sure someone helped you.I also had no freinds for a time in my life and it was so horrible.I was a child and I only had one freind. I was 12 years old. I played a stupid prank yanking out or stealing an election sign from a neighbors yard.After my only freinds mother found out I had done that she told me we couldnt be freinds anymore.It broke my heart. Why didnt I have freinds well I was weird,had seizures,took speech lessons,Didnt wear the cool clothes. Now I have focused on trying to be a happy person because sometimes you just got to make the best of thing and I have tons of freinds and I feel confident that you will too.I dont know you but I can tell by your question that you love your parents very much and that makes you a good child.Not all kids love their parents.Some kids are mean, Try to focus on the good thing in life.Find a special hobbie you can do with your mom. Try to find things you can do to help you learn to take care of yourself.girlscouts or boyscouts or 4h .Just because you have no freinds now means nothing .Maybe they dont like you because they are jealous even.Maybe you have something they dont like 2 parents. who knows but unless your parents have told you they are dying honey I would try to think of something else. Try to uplift yourself with funny movies and books .Do fun things with your folks. When I was young I worried about it too but all that did was make me sad.I dont want to be sad I want to be happy and Im sure you do too..

Answer 5
