My sister is using my mom's debit card without permission, what do I do?
Posted Thursday April 23 2020, 6:46 pm
My '' sister" just turned 18. For months she has been using my mothers debit card to order stuff without permission. So this time I decided to google the name of the product that was ordered off of it. And it is weed, so I took it upon myself to look in her room, and she had a box full of it. Should I tell my mom?

Not what it seems
Posted Friday March 13 2020, 5:08 pm
My mom is an alcoholic, and has been since my early early childhood. She’s always nagging me about how my sister never tells her anything. She fails to realize that the time to build a strong relationship bond with me and my sister has long passed, how do I set the record straight without her constantly throwing it back up in my face, in future situations? She has gone through things with us that I thought would coax her to stop drinking, but was only temporary, I have given up hope on that account, and do not intent to pity her or try to understand her pain. Also I too do not have a good communicative relationship with her that she doesn’t seem to notice, there is no counseling in area on her problem. So for my remaining years with he...

GOT IN TROUBLE
Posted Wednesday March 4 2020, 7:19 pm
Okay so.. I went to a boy's house after school and came back home around 5:17. My mom was already off and I had to call a Lyft. My mom questioned me about where I was and etc, she took my phone, and went through my messages. I was communicating with a 30+ y/o man and we even had ---. My mom came in my room and asked me how old was he and I ignored her. She left around 6 and hasn't been back since.

Burdens of Dealing With My Sister's Stuff
Posted Sunday March 1 2020, 10:44 am
My sister’s such a fucking screwup, just last month she ran away from home with her 21 and older boooyfriend(she’s 17🙄), long story short she came back home days later, and I intentionally overheard her multiple conversations that night telling people how he chocked her and pulled a knife on her, and basically showed his crazy side.During her “vacay” she fucked up her attendence at school and continues to do so,How? Oh her dumass is lying 🤥 about where she’s going and when she’s not doing that she’s using the most dumbest excuses.But still with the perky naive belief that she’s in the clear and can graduate smoothly. Anyways I just found out that she’s lying about where she’s going just so she can have date nights...

How to convince my mom to let me visit my boyfriend in his home country?
Posted Tuesday January 14 2020, 10:36 pm
Sorry for the big wall of text. However, I think all of the context is needed for proper advice to be given.
So funny enough, my boyfriend and I met on reddit some months ago, and so far things have been going great. I'm 17 and he's 18. The reason we started talking was that we were both kinda lonely and in search of someone to be close to, however not necessarily in a romantic way. The reason we decided to keep talking was because he informed me that he and his family had plans to visit not only my country, but coincidentally my CITY with his parents over the holidays. Obviously we couldn't let an opportunity like that go to waste, and we kept talking, letting the chemistry build up. Long story short, we ended up meeting whi...

My response to your advice on ‘Guilty Crush’
Posted Thursday January 2 2020, 3:47 pm
Back in August, I wrote an advice post saying that I had a crush on my second cousin (my mother’s Cousin)- and I felt really guilty about it- that crush is still there and I still feel guilty about it.
Firstly, I didn’t make my age clear on that post- I’m 16- so you were absolutely correct, Dragonflymagic, to base your advice on what you’d tell a high school student.
Most of what I said in that post still stands- I’m still a little bit put off by the age gap (despite the fact that I’m not planning to act on these feelings and also despite the fact that I don’t know the exact age difference)- I still think she’s really nice, pretty and her accent is still really nice to listen to.

okay, so i’m 15 (16 in 8 months) & pregnant by my 16 year old boyfriend. his dad has always gave us a problem because of the fact that i’m mixed (he’s racist). my boyfriend absolutely hates going over there & he’s scared that his dad will take him away from his mother and place him in the care with him & not let him see me or the baby, is this legal? can he even do that? his mother is a great mother. he has called DHR once before on her because of the fact that he spent the night with me (they said she was a perfect mother and the case was dropped).

Responsibility for Child
Posted Thursday November 14 2019, 10:31 pm
Our family planned a weekend get-away to meet friends from out of town, but our 15yo son found out he would not be able to attend at the last minute. He is a responsible kid, honor student and has never been in any trouble. My wife and I agreed he would be fine staying home alone to take care of himself for two days; however, she is insisting on boarding our dog. I think that it is reasonable to expect that a 15yo is responsible enough to watch a dog, but my wife says that unless we board the dog she is going to stay home. She is firm in this. The upshot is that we are going to board the dog as not going is not an option. That said, I am angry that she does not trust our kid to watch our dog as this is not a big responsibility. Am I being unreasonable here?

Being gay in conservative family
Posted Monday September 30 2019, 10:35 am
16 year old lesbian. I tried to search the internet, but no one has a situation quite like mine so it seems. It's complicated as to how my family learned I was gay, but let's just say I didn't tell them on my own accord. In my community, I find acceptance from friends and acquantainces, even strangers. But my family just doesn't want to acknowledge it.
They don't reject or disown me, but my dad keeps talking about boyfriends and husbands, and the best my family gets would be "spouse" or "partner" and the talks of me being straight one day or bisexual, basically treating being lesbian as a phase. The bisexuality makes it so lucid that they don't dislike me liking girls as much as they dislike me not liking...

Sex life...should I have told mom? should I come clean and honest?
Posted Tuesday September 17 2019, 6:10 pm
16 year old female...I began hooking up very young, pretty much as soon as Middle School started and didn't stop. If you'd like to pass judgment, you should understand I grew up in an unstable home and suffered through numerous mental health issues, and my beginning encounters were not completely consensual.
But I never told my mom a thing, and I wasn't honest about it until very soon when I got chlamydia which, for obvious reasons, forced me to be honest. Which I still wasn't-I tell people who ask I've hooked up with 3 and that's what I told the doctor, I spread it out and made one closest (I was honest about my most recent affair). People figure the rest out from rumors and people shit talking. I made it seem like a one tim...

My marriage is now 6months old.My husband's parents and sister were pretty nice to me but I noticed that these people are completely insolent and irrational when it comes to handling any situation that they are not comfortable to talk about.On the other hand,my parents were and are so rational and considerating.There is no such thing in this world which I can't share with my parents.Its the complete opposite case in my husband's family.He and his sister do stuff which they know their parents would have not approved of and then they blatantly lie on their faces.Which,honestly,I can't.But my parents-in-law,specially my MIL is very pretentious of a person.She asked me to be totally free and frank with her,as she claimed her children are befrie...

Should I cut my grandma out of my life?
Posted Sunday August 25 2019, 10:32 am
I’m gay and my grandma is very homophobic. I’ve been with my wife for five years so she’s had plenty of time to adjust. She’s always said random homophobic things but yesterday she took it too far. My wife was doing her makeup at my moms house and my grandma said “boys don’t wear makeup” I said “she’s not a boy she’s my wife” to which my grandma replied “women don’t have short hair” I so badly want to cut her out of my life and my mom is making excuses for her. I just will feel bad when she dies knowing I stopped talking to her. She sees nothing she did wrong and NEVER apologizes. Help!
