Question by Amanda Overmeyer-Janis of today!: I am so tired of this family. I just want to run?
Well, I had a fight with my family. I know I’m gonna get a lot of mean answers, but I really need to get it off my chest. Well today, I told my mom I was sleeping while I was hanging out with my boyfriend. I can’t tell her anything anymore. She gets in my business too much. She wants to meet my friends, their parents…man, she even wants to know what my friend’s mom’s favorite color is. What is such a big deal. Sure, I lie to her a little bit, but without me lying to her, I’d be a total stay-at-home loser because they want me to stay home and study 24/7. She thinks I’m on drugs, which, by the way, I’m thinking of doing again, because life with drugs was much simpler. She also thinks I’m pregnant. She thinks I sleep around with a bunch of guys. Seriously, I can’t even tell her I have guy friends anymore. Just because my periods are messed up and are always 3 months late, we always have the sex talk and the pregnancy discussion. Now to my step-dad. I was supposed to go to my boyfriend’

house, but my step-dad decided to take a day off. So I asked if I could go to ice-skating ring and he said no. Of course I was pissed because my mom said I could go, and I was waiting a whole week to do this one thing on friday. Then I started speaking to my mom in russian…you know my native language…and he started yelling. he said that we can’t speak russian and stuff. he got rid of mostly allour traditions, but we have to follow American traditions. I don’t have a problem with that, but I don’t want to forget where I come from. I think I’m gonna just run to San Francisco. HELP!!! What do I do about this whole mess?

This is a LOT of personal information here. Sounds like bad parenting from day one.

you shouldnt run away from your problems just talk to your mom that u aint sleepin and what not and talk to your step dad or just speak russian when he aint there like shes ur mom she loves you shes just trying to get to know you and protect you or w.e
good luck
i totally understand where you are coming from. i met this guy and i wanted to go to the movies with him. but my mom wanted to meet him first. i am like…NO WAY. that is so weird. she wanted to know everything about him. i just let it go.
what you can do with your parents is to tell up front. dont yell at them because that starts more problems. write a letter to them telling them how you feel. dont get back on drugs. it will start more problems then there are now. i bet you were doing so well without them!!! find a job where you are able to get out of the house for the real reason. with your guy friends. shoe your parents that they aren’t like the other friends has to what you had before!
its simple really.you have 4 options:
1. Go to school, dump your loser of a boyfriend, get off the drugs, respect yourself, get good grades, go away to college,and never speak to them again.
2. Turn 18 and join the army.
3. Go be a slut in the red light district, pass out from drugs and alcohol while some guy wearing leather chaps pokes at your private area with a beer bottle after he has had his way with you then die at the age of 24
4. continue being all emo about everything, you should probably start cutting yourself and listening to simple plan
I think your problem is so li’l compare to others…I don’t want to compare your situation to other people but the the way I see it,that problem of yours is just about how to build a close family relationship,which I think is lacking in your family.
Talk to your mom regarding that issue and please listen to your parents.They always know what’s best for you girl!
Be sensitive with others feelings too…
dont know whether it be russian american oztralian or not but an answer : On Your Marks, Get Set … hang on , assuming you are old enough to leave then GO……. pheew now i have answered that and got that off my chest . No, serious, it would be wise to start having a talk with parents and/or school teachers about what life would be like if you were to leave and believe me its a bigger world out there than you think as tough as it may seem at home its tougher out in the world alone
as a russian who is 25 years old and was a “stay at home looser” like you say, my parents were controlling and were very strict. here is a piece of advice… they love you and want nothing but the best from you. unfortunatelly you are not yet grown up enough to realize that. i would suggest you seriously think about your actions and the fact that you really dont have any concept of what is right or wrong to just blindly trust that whatever they do or say is in your best interest. i turned out very well with my crazy parents. here is a thing… you get one family… just one. love them, because they love you and you should be very happy that they care enogh about you to sit and talk to you and repremend you. i wasnt cool at 16 but trust me i am cool now, unlike most of my ” cool teen friends” i married a wonderful man, worked and lived in many countries in the world and run a very successful business. grow up. and as far as your culture goes. i am russian my husband is not… IT IS NOT OK TO TALK IN A LANGUAGE THAT A PERSON CANT UNDERSTAND IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HIM. regardless of who that person mught be. its disrespectful…
