Bipolar? Depressed? Lonely? Or just slowly going insane? Best answer.?
Hey guys. I am a 15 year old female and I have been through a lot more stuff than ANY 15 year old should go through. My dad died, my mom left me, I used to get beat, constant yelling at me, going to different homes, staying somewhere I hate. And much more. When I am with my friends (most of the time) I am extreamly funny and outgoing but as soon as I am away I am very depressed and sad. When I get home (I hate my house to much drama like hell on earth) I have EXTREAM mood swings which usually involve me getting hit a few times. I am getting worse. It is not just from "Being a teenager" No I can feel it is something greater. I get mad at everything and its not normal. Over the years from my dads death (when I was 7) it has built up. The people I am living with (this old evil woman) always threatens me to throw me out or call the cops. But even that can't stop me I just can't be stopped. I need help
Is it OK not to have a graduation party?
Well, if you don't want to go to any of these grad events, then it's okay since it is your own decision. However, I think prom is something everybody should go to when they are graduating. Not everybody throws a graduation party, usually it's just a few people so everybody can go (I'm not throwing one). Senior class trip is okay to miss, but prom is really important. Prom is a time for you to spend having fun with all your friends, and why would you want to miss that? Just my opinion. To add.. As long as you know for sure that you won't regret missing out in the end, then it's fine if you don't go.
Senior women: Do you still wear high heel shoes?
I do sometimes, but never if I am in Blackpool, the pavements there are terrible and I have had a few falls.
I'm severely depressed 16 year old female & I really need help, please!!!!?
Oh sweetie, please see a doctor. I went through the exact same thing when I was 13. For years, doctors would tell me that I was depressed but never offered to help and I didn't know what to do. All I knew was I didn't want to be here anymore. So one doctor I went to wanted to help me. We tried several meds to no avail. Then he gave me one that changed how I felt about everything. I didn't hate myself anymore and I rejoined society. No more crying all the time. I wasn't tired all the time. Everything you described is caused by depression. All the aches and crying and everything. So please see a doctor. You will be amazed at how your life can change. You can write me any time.
When your child is invited to a classmate's birthday party, do you stay at the party or just drop them off?
I will go to parties with my kids till they are 29. After that I will find new people to party with.
Believable excuse to not attend a birthday party?
If you go stricly on etiquette, you are not obligated to give a reason. Here's what the etiquette masters say, " ... the famous “Emily Post on Entertaining”, published in 1987 by Harper & Row, states, “If you are declining simply because you don’t want to go or dislike the host or hostess, but have no other plans, it is best not to give a reason, if asked, other than ‘I’m terribly sorry, we’re busy that evening.’ This leaves you free to accept another invitation.” ... proper etiquette should restrain them from asking too many questions. If warranted, such as with a wedding invitation or other special occasion that usually entails a gift, you might want to consider including a small present or card when sending your regrets. ..." In your case, you could thank the person for inviting you, and say enthusiastically that they will have have FUN without you, and that you already have other plans that night. If you ask immediately about their party preparations--like, do they have a cake ordered? etc., whatever's appropriate--it puts the attention onto the person and off you. If they respond to your question about the prepations, and then ask what other plans you have that conflict with their party, just say oh, it's a family thing, and don't elaborate. Smile brightly, and see if the other person will persist in playing 20 questions. It's kind of a situation where, after that exchange, the next person who speaks loses! If the person says "like what family thing?" all you can do is continue to be positive and vague. It's really an assertiveness skill, being able to keep someone from steamrolling over you to make you give up information you don't want to share, and assertiveness takes (1) preparation, and (2) practice. There are two basic assertiveness techniques I like and that work well for me. You could use them to prepare for this encounter with your friends having the parties, and use them to stand your ground without hurting their feelings or without having to make a fool-proof, elaborate, and perfect lie. The first skill is called Broken Record. The second one is called Fogging. Look at the link, below, and scroll down to those two topics. See if you can't put together a few responses using both of those with your situation, if the steps above don't suffice. Good luck!
