Answer 2

I would suggest staying away from home as much as possible. My homelife was fine, but I still spent a lot of time playing "role-playing games" with other kids. We would meet at someone's house and play Dungeons and Dragons and we would talk through what our characters were doing and basically it is like writting a story together. You let the dice tell you the outcome and the Dungeon Master leads the story along and tells the surrounding, but it is a lot of fun and more interesting than school or home and you get to sit around and talk with your friends all evening! You can just tell them your mom does not want y'all meeting at your house - some parents don't want the noise of a bunch of kids laughing and hanging out at their place. Go to a comic book store or put up a note at school to find some other kids to play. The books will be at comic book shops or hobby shops or science fiction conventions. Also join other school activities that are in the evening - even cheerleading if it keeps you out of the house! (Sorry cheerleaders...and they do have guys in those groups). Learn an instrument and join a band, join the drama club and go to all the practices - sometimes three nights a week, easy. You will find something to take your mind off your stress, new friends, and something to keep you out of the home for as long as practical each evening and most weekends. There are kids whose parents prefer they have friends over so they can keep an eye on their kids and be sure they are safe - so there are places you can hang out and not have to be on the street or in the library all the time. Hang with some of those kids and get some stress relief.

Stress is a RESPONSE not a "thing". I know this is a difficult concept but you choose to be stressed (as well as you choose all of your other emotions). I'm not saying that life doesn't still suck sometimes but you have to try to learn to not let things get to you. Think about what happens when you let your self feel stressed... Does it help? What does it accomplish? You are incontrol of your own mind. If you want a further explanation, e-mail me.

You really should see a councelor. Talk to someone in conflict resolution at your school or contact your local health department. The will be able to help and/or direct you to a concelor in your area.

I had a lot of trouble in highschool (bad boyfriends & the death of a close friend) and the councelor at school really helped me. I also really benifited from counceling on my own too but that can be expensive if you don't have insurance to cover it.

Lastly, you need a hobby or creative outlet. Try taking up art or music or anything that interests you to get you thinking about something else. Public Library's are also great places to get away and be somewhere quiet. Or a great outdoor spot to be with nature I always find calming.

Answer 4

Hey, I have been there. Just not alot of fun. Is there some sort of after school activity in your area to get involved in? How about some classes at a local craft store, like scrap booking and such? Or how about the church? Is there something there for youth groups? How about a YMCA? How about some volunteering at the hospital, pet shelter, toys for tots or other organization? Perhaps even a job? Go to the library for some peace and quiet.

Answer 5

Confront your problem and change your perspective. If you take up extra-curicular activities, the idea behind it will be trying to stay away from home. If you take up an activity, because you KNOW it will be fun, then you will have a positive outcome. Confront your parents, tell them how you feel, NEVER over exagerate, but tell them "Hey, I don't apreciate the enviroment I have at home, it's got me down and I have a lot of stress about it, please let me help you guys make the change, because I love you, but I hate what your putting me through."

Answer 6

You have said what the problem is without going into detail. If the stress is too much for you share it with an adult and friends you can trust. A problem shared is a problem half ed.

Answer 7

you don't get away from stress, it is a fact of life. you can however, learn better skills for coping with the stress in your life. talk to a school counsellor to start.

Answer 8

Become spiritual - primarily Buddhist and then you won't have that feeling of needing to get away, you will be strong and at peace at the same time.
