HELP.. My parents won't let me diet.?
That's because you are 4lb under weight just make sure you control your portions of junk food and ask them to buy you yogurt ,vetables and fruit if don't have any at your house so can have some Health snack options . having a small salad or just some Lettus with your dinner will help you feel a little more full make sure to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day and limit the amount of pop and juice you drink. try doing some ab exercises this will help you not have a tummy any more and it will make you feel toner and skinny .and then you wont feel fat because you are not fat at all or nothing near it your just four or five under weight. I hope this helps a bit and your parents should not have a problem buying you some health food as long as you don't' starve your self if they do then they must have some serious problem when it comes to being healthy .
How can I get help if my parents don't know that I need it?
Depends on your age & where you live. If you are under 18 yr old & being abused by family, tell a school counselor or a trusted school teacher. Same goes if you have a problem that you believe you can’t discuss with parents. If you have a physical/medical problem, tell your parents or an older sibling or relative. If you need mental health counseling for depression, don’t hesitate to reach out for help!
HELP!!! I want to get a Quran but my parents don't want me to.?
How can I get a Quran to read and to learn about faiths other than my own if my parents won't let me? FYI I am Roman Catholic and I want to learn more about the Islamic faith. I don't want to convert or anything like that but I just want to learn more about other religions, not just my own. I mean, I think that the Catholic and Jewish God is the same as the Islamic Allah, so it shouldn't matter, should it? How should I overcome this barrier? I don't want to not honor my parents, but at the same time, I don't want to spend the rest of my life ignorant because that's the way my society told me to be.
My parents don't have money. How do I help them?
It is a difficult situation and we think it’s very kind of you to consider was to help. We are unaware of your family’s specific situation and therefore it’s impossible to provide you an opinion. We are not asking you to give specifics here, that’s an uncomfortable thing to do but there are some things we want to-proverbially- throw out here to see if anything helps:The other answered was correct if you are in legal age to get some type of job and/or move out. However, if you are in process of continuing education, we’d discourage that idea. Your education is important.We don’t agree that if they haven’t asked for help you should do nothing. We believe that communication is a big factor in familial relations and you will all come out stronger and closer if you learn to share the good and the bad. We think it’s Ok to talk to them, if you feel it’s the right thing to do, and at the right time.Has your family run a budget? A budget consists of adding up all the income for one month, and every single expense for the same month, and calculating the amount of money that you spend on various categories: housing, utilities, food, gas, utilities, eating out, transportation, etc; everything is counted and analyzed. If you are unsure if your parents have done their budgetary analysis, then it’s Ok to ask and suggest making it a family project for next month.A budget shows you that you might be overspending on some things, and teach you frugality, or guide you towards decisions that can help you save on some things to be able to afford others better. By making willful and specific changes to your spending, you create your own budget, which is a step on managing your finances over time. It helps pay down debts in a more organized fashion, and i leads to saving -not just saving in savings accounts, but saving on things like the amount of interest you pay on your loans, which is a type of inverse saving -the cheaper the loan= the less you pay= the more you save.We have a blog on which we wrote two articles on creating your own budget. They contain everything you need, from getting started on keeping records of your expenses, to making the budget and analyzing the results.After you have read this, if you feel that this is not an adequate beginning way to go, feel free to contact me via the blog (there’s an email link there). I’d be happy to go over your thoughts with more specifics and maybe provide additional guidance.
How do I get my parents to get me medical help when they don't believe me?
Hello, I am (or was) on the same boat as you are now. My parents disbelieved that I was in severe depression - this was when I was 24. I realized they will never accept I need to see a counselor / psychiatrist if I ask them to, because they think I am either imagining, or playing up.I waited till I was 27, and started going to a school that had fantastic healthcare, counselling, etc. First semester in grad school, I made an appointment with a counselor. Turns out my depression and bipolar had started showing when I was 14, and it went downhill ever since. It took me two years, a psychiatrist, a counselor, intervention, etc. to treat my depression. So, I suggest, just make an appointment with whoever is responsible for healthcare in your school. You don’t have to let your parents know, you don’t need to explain yourself to anybody. Do this for yourself. Say everything you said in the comments.Please don’t wait. In between my 24 and 27 years of age, I messed my life. I smoked like a chimney, I self-hurt, my inability to sense danger got me drugged and raped, and I was manipulated into a relationship with a married man who promised to leave his wife, but never did. The point is, my rational analytical ability decreased. When this happens, it is dangerous. Don’t let this happen to you. So, good luck.
My parents don't give me food?
You could approach them calmly and politely, saying things like you understand they are busy and just didn't notice that the groceries have been low. Explain to them how little you've actually eaten. That will hopefully make them realize they need to take better care of you. If you're worried about upsetting them because money is low, you could try telling them that you know they do a lot for you and you just wanted to help out so you looked up some food pantries (actually look them up). Offer to look up the free/reduced lunch and foodstamp programs. You can apply for those online in a lot of places. It might keep them from getting upset if you don't seem like you're criticizing them, you just know how hard they work and you want to make it easier on them since you can't work yet. BUT if that doesn't work immediately, please tell your school counselor. She/he can help. You should never have to go hungry. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I hope things get better for you.
I'm 13 and my parents don't clean our house....?
So I'm a 13 year old, going to grade 8 next year, and my parents don't clean the house. My dad has a job, but my mom does volunteering work and most of the time she just goes on the internet. She also just started this job last year, but even then our house was never clean. I have a younger sister, but whenever I ask if she wants to help me clean, she just says she's busy. I have homework, and i'm on student council, I keep my grades up, and I'm currently studying for the IB and AP high school entrance test. I don't really have time to clean the house either, Theres rotting food in our refrigerator, our cabinets are messy, the laundry room has clothes all over the floor and our garage is a complete disaster. Its really embarrassing as my friends want to come over, but the house is a complete disaster. When they try suggesting to come over, I always have to make some excuses. I have cleaned the house several times by myself, and I plan to do this over the summer, but the house gets messy in a few days. Whenever I ask my parents why they wont help me clean the house they say, you just don't have parents who a clean house. I really want to change this, as I'm sick of living in a messy house. I myself am going to start cleaning next week and do a some cleaning later on but im scared my parents and my sister wont pick up on this, and I don't want to be so focused on maintaining a clean house as I'm starting high school next year.

Okay, I'm sick, and my parents don't believe me, help please?
I've been like this for over the past week, I have constant pressure and pain in my sinuses, my ears hurt to. I've been developing what I think to be a migrane over the past few days. I've lost my appetite, I can't sleep well at all, no medicine we have at home seems to be working. And I have a dry cough, that is leaving my diaphragm and chest hurting. I'm in a lot of pain, but my parents think that since I don't have a fever, or throwing up, that I'm not really sick. I even look sick, but they don't want to take me to a doctor. So does anyone know how I can get them to believe that I am sick, or a way to conjure up a fever, or a medical treatment that will help what I have? I would really appreciate any advice, I just want to get out of this misery.
What do I do if my parents don't accept that I'm trans?
You somehow find other friends and people who love you and start a life away from your parents. I am assuming you are not still living at home. If you are then it really is difficult to say without knowing more. How against it are they?If you are young, then they may not believe it, and feel that if you give yourself more time that you will change back. But if they love you then they ought to come around eventually rather than lose you. Most parents love their children and want a relationship with them. So, first I would try to be understanding of them, so you can continue to communicate. Find a way to let them know how you feel…I know, it should be the other way around, but take what you have and keep trying. They are mortified by shock and are suffering deeply from missing who you were.. It is more of a surprise than being gay for instance, these days. They loved you as a whatever sex you were born as. It’s a shock to hear that you are not that person any more. So give them some time with it as long as they aren’t abusive to you. . All that is assuming you are fairly mature and comfortable with yourself. If you are still scared and don’t know what to do, that’s a different story. You need to get stronger yourself, so you can deal with your parents lovingly. As they should with you. Until then even though you are scared I believe that if you are loving to them they will want to help you and work with you.. Try not to be hurt by their initial shock and denial. And attempts to normalize you. Give them time. They need it. Just say, I understand how you feel. I would be different if I could be .. but I love you, and this is who I really AM and I need you to love ME. I am who I have always been inside. I am still here. Please love me as I love you.I have not had experience with this as you can see. I am just trying to put myself in your shoes. You need love and acceptance. And they need love from you too.. As long as there is a conversation still going on, then they are adjusting to it. I hope they don’t take the hard line. But as long as they are still talking then they are in the process of learning from you and I believe they WILL come around.Good luck and good bless.
