My parents won't take me to the doctor?
For the past few months, I have been suffering frequent upset stomachs. I mentioned the problem casually to my parents, who ignored it. In December, I had a check-up scheduled for my 16th birthday. While there, I told my doctor about my problems and she suggested lactose intolerance. She told me to avoid milk products or anything with lactose in it for about 2 weeks, and to go back if things didn't improve. Nothing improved, and lately I feel like I'm only getting worse. It's been about 5 weeks since the visit- the first week I mostly avoided dairy, but still consumed a bit of it. But, since I didn't get better, I switched to no dairy at all. After 2 weeks of this, I told my parents nothing was getting better and they played it off; my dad claimed he KNEW I was still eating dairy, although I know I wasn't. So they told me to write down everything I ate, which I have been doing. I also recorded all of the odd things about my bowel movements. They told me to do it for a week, but when I came to them and asked if they would take me back to the doctor, they told me they actually wanted me to do it for a month. It's been 2 weeks now, and I am getting frequent cramps and diarrhea. It is hard for me to sleep and function like a normal human being because of this. I feel awful all the time, and it is hard for me to focus in school whenever my cramps arise. I told my mom this, and basically begged her to let me see a doctor. To this, she replied she would surely take me to a doctor- over spring break. I know it seems dramatic, but I don't know if I can wait that long. I am very stressed, but my dad says I'm being selfish when I make a big deal out of being sick. I don't know what to do and I feel really hopeless.
What do you do if your parents won't let you out of the house and you feel they are making you depressed?
I would have to say first of all I'm sorry to hear that you feel depressed.Do they have your best interests at heart?As in you did something that a reasonable person would consider to be dangerous, or unhealthy behaviour for someone your age?Did you do something wrong that again a reasonable person would consider to be wrong?You don't say where you are, Eg what country or if religious/cultural beliefs are a factor, or how old you are.How are they towards you otherwise?Please take the time to think deeply about this. Are they loving? Respectful?Are your needs being met and you are allowed to have friends, your own interests, some freedom and responsibility?If you are being hurt physically or are enduring any sort of abuse- emotional, verbal, or then I urge you to contact a helpline or a trusted relative, a counsellor at school and get help immediately.Please write and let me know more and also how you are doing.
My parents won't listen to me. What should I do?
Boy. Deja Vu. Been there. Lived through that.What do you do? Live for the day you turn 18 and can get the hell out.That’s what I had to do. Just shut my mouth, agree with everything they said (when they noticed me at all), and make plans to get out as soon and as far away as possible. And keep your real thoughts and feelings between you and your closest friend(s). Just…quit trying. It hurts too much. It hurts to be misunderstood (or in my case, laughed at).And find another adult outlet. An adult you can talk to freely who won’t rat you out to your parents (if possible. Some things shouldn’t be kept secret. Like wanting to kill yourself, etc.). That’s what I did, too. We moved to the ‘burbs when I was 17 and the next door neighbors, a young couple with a new baby, “adopted” me and I practically lived at their house for the year before they moved. Saved my sanity.I ended up joining the Navy when I was 19, after trying college for a year and trying to live at home…big mistake. Huge. Should’ve went out of town but didn’t.Best decision I ever made. Just hang in there. It gets better. Really it does. In the meantime, quit trying with them and find someone else to talk to.
My parents won't let me spend my own money. What should I do?
Finance - is most often a topic rarely discussed and myriad of mystery.First, understand that 99% of your relationship with money is learned through social influence of watching your parents, siblings, and friends manage their money. Most schools do nothing in the way of educating the youth today about economic and financial concepts.Now that we understand where our views on money come from, it is important to either reinforce our thought paradigm or break it. Do your parents, siblings, and friends have the kind of finances that you want to have 10–20–30–40 years from now? If the answer to that question is no, then it is time to re-learn everything you think you know about money from the kind of people who do have finance that you want to have 10–20–30–40 years from now.As per the specific situation - you earn your own money, you have the right to spend it at your leisure. Your parents may wish to dissuade you from making a foolish purchase, but it is ultimately not their decision to make.So, not knowing the specific circumstances of this tale, (such as, why you just don’t go buy it anyway - is ‘your’ money locked in a safe that you cannot access?) lets get to the convincing part. Flattery will get you everywhere. You may wish to engage your parents into a conversation with ‘I really appreciate you always looking out for my best interests, I have learned a lot about personal finance through your examples and have shown responsibility in earning my own money so that I can purchase a new guitar to further my own personal growth in the arts. As such I hope you can respect why it is important to me to not only set my own financial and personal goals, but also to accomplish them.’
MY PARENTS WON'T COME HOME AND I'M HOME ALONE?!!!?
They left at about 3:00 pm and it's about to be 8:00 pm now and they still haven't came. They went to the flea market but it's not that far. And they said they would be back in like an hour. They haven't called or anything, and when I call they don't answer!!! I'm sooo worried. I'm 13 and i'm home alone, I think something happened to my parents!! They're old (52 and 60) and they never go on dates or anything so they can't be on a date. WHAT SHOULD I DO? PLEAS HELP!!
I like a girl, but her parents won't let her date. Help?
Go and talk to her parents straight up. Its awkward but they will appreciate that you are willing to ask because you are honorable and they want their daughter dating someone honorable.
What do you do if your parents won't let you date outside your race?
Honestly, i would disobey them. I honestly think that is very unfair. I think it's important to respect your parents, but in this situation I would have to go against them. There is no reason why you can't go out with him, it makes no sense. Go with your gut, do what you think is right.
Type of piercings my parents won't see?
First of all, There are few places that you parents will not see. Your face is right out and so that leaves nipples and genitals. And that's a little intense to have to go through if you're not used to getting pierced. Secondly, you are either an adult in which case who cares what your parents think since it is your body... ...or you are a minor in which there are few places that will professionally piercing something without parental/guardian consent. And trust me, if you're going to get your naughties pierced you don't want some one who is not qualified and using hospital sterilization. An infection there can really hurt and would require you to go to the doctor's...and then your parents *will* know.
