| Entry #2755 | Question: Hi, would just like to say thank you for reading this. I\'ve been to many schools before, and i have always found people to talk to. the thing is i\'m not sure that these people are my actual "friends". we talk sometimes at school, though they mostly ignore my existence when they are with their classmates. when we walk home, they leave me to hang-out with their "other friends". i know this is just probably a sad case of jealousy, but this has gone on for 4 months now. i have been trying to find people who share my interests, since im not really into the whole "dating, gossip, and boy bands" thing, but there have not been any results. i was hoping that you would be able give my any suggestions on what to do.
-rokrShadow | Answer: Hey,
It can be tough to find people we really connect with in high school. Some people are lucky and they find a couple of really close friends to spend time with. For a lot of us though, we go through high school with people who are sort of our friends and always looking for better friends. It's weird but it's true - I totally get what you're saying.
You could try joining a club or team or something at school that you're interested in. That can sometimes be a way to bring different people together. Things like sports teams or drama clubs can be a way to meet some people you might not otherwise get to know. You can also join groups outside of school if there are any you're interested in. That might be another way to meet some new people.
You will find great friends in your life, you will. It might take some time, but that's what makes the best friendships really great - the fact that they take a while to find.

You're going through a lot right now. It would be a really good idea if you talked to a professional about all this stuff. You can call Kids Help Phone any time for free, confidential, professional advice. They really listen. The number is 1.800.668.6868. Call them, it's a good place to start.
You should also try talking to your mom about all of this. Be honest with her and tell her what's going on. She will be able to help you too. If you really don't want to see your dad, you shouldn't have to. Tell your mom all of this stuff and hopefully your honesty will help her feel a little bit better too. You should also talk to your mom about what is going on with your sister - it's a good idea to get an adult involved in helping her if she's drinking a lot.
Call Kids Help Phone, it'll help.

| Entry #2753 | | Question: hi! thanks for reading this. i really want to tell someone about this, but im worried about how they might judge me. throughout my whole life, whenever something bad ever happened in my family, i would be the one to be blamed. whenever my brother gets a D+ on his report card for not do his homework its my fault; when my mother left forgots to wake me up in the morning or when she is late in dropping me to school it was my fault. and as the eldest child the house it was my duty to take all the family members anger - or so i thought. recently, i have been having more and more argumentswith my mother for the obivious reason that i just can\'t control my felings anymore. all these of my life i have had to bottle up all my emotions, but i have had enough of it. my mother has been really surprised at my outbursts against her statements. what im basically trying to say is that: am i the one who is in the wrong? is it just because of HORMONES that i am talking back to my mother? or should i just make an appointment with my school\'s guidance counsellor? | Answer: Hey,
If you're feeling you aren't being treated fairly at home you should talk to your family about it. It's better to have a talk with your mom rather than just blow-up at her. Try to talk to her. See if the two of you can get some time alone - maybe go for a walk or go out for coffee or something and try to just talk to her. Try to put into words what you just told us. She needs to hear it. Hopefully she will be open to what you are saying and work with you to make your life easier at home.
She probably doesn't even know the pressure she's putting on you. That can happen sometimes in busy households - kids who are the oldest are expected to help out, it's just the way it is. You guys should talk and see if there is a way that you can still do some things to help but that you can also be allowed time for yourself too. Work on it together.
If talking to your mom doesn't work or if you don't feel ready to talk to her, then a meeting with a guidance counselor would be a really good idea. You can also call Kids Help Phone any time for free, confidential, professional advice. The number is 1.800.668.6868. They are professionals who really listen and give great advice. Call them any time.
