Well I would suggest just putting your foot down and waiting for her to try and fix things because she is the mum and it’s about time she acted like it.
ok thanks, my dad talked to me last night and told me to try harder coz he is stuck in the middle, and i hate that but i cant cope i hate living at home, i hate living
it’s ok I know how you feel my mum acts very immature-alot and it can be stressful but don’t let it get to you because you have so much to live for why let them ruin it.
because the stress anit worth it after taljk8ing to my dad last night i ended up crying myself to sleep i have other problems as ell and allready get cousling
Well tell me about your problems and I’ll see what I can do to cheer you up. if the stress really aint worth it do you have friends you can stay with if even just for a week so you can cool off and relax a little?
i was going to stay with my aunit for a week and she even said yes but my mum is that bad i think it would make it even worse. i self harm have done for a while and i cry alot i hate it i hate everything
Well first thing we got to do is get you to stop with the self harm, as hard as that may seem it’s only going to make things worse. if your mum is really that childish then maybe its her that ought to have councelling and what exactly has your dad said to you?
i have tried to get her to go with me to the cousling as they said that would help vbut it is like she doesnt want to no. i no i have got to stop the self har its just i have been doing i so long now it is the only way i can cope.
my dad jst asked if i could try harder to speak to he and make more of an effort coz he backs me up but then my mum gets in a mood with him and he is stuck in the middle and i no it anit fair just i really donw want to back down this time,
As you shouldn’t, having to act the parent in every fight just isnt fair on you. I understand what you mean by the self harm, maybe though you could replace it with something else that can help you cope such as walking, writing, heck even going to a secluded place and screaming your lungs out what ever makes you feel better. it saddens me to hear that your mum is acting this way because she is meant to look out for you not the other way around. I would say to just go live with your aunt for awhile even if you are worried about your mum because you need to be able to let some stress off your mind abit. Also have you ever told her how what she does effects you?
no we never really talk properly ever its horrible, i have tried alsorts of ways to stop SH but i have been doing it for 4 years so everythying else i try it just doesnt work
Well how serious are you harming? And maybe it’s time you had a serious talk with her or something because her behaviours gotta stop.
its getting worse, i want to but i cant face talking to her i feel mad everytime i talk to her
Well can you write her a letter? I know it sounds silly but sometimes it can be the best option.
yes i have tried that before but then she gets even more upset, im sorry im wasting your time. i jut feel like giving up. earlier i was sat watching the traffic and i wondered which cars would kill me if i jumped out in front of them.
It’s ok, now I still recommend staying with your aunt. If your mum doesn’t like ti she’s gowing to have to talk to you not sit and sulk at home.
ok thanks she is at holiday at the moment but will serially conciderit it wen she comes home, i usllygo to my nanas to get peace and i spend alot of time they but she is on holiday with my aunti so i will stuggle for the next week
As long as you don’t do anything stupid like taking your life its ok. I’m sure that one day you will get through this struggle and things will get better it may just take time.
i hope that as well, last year i didnt plan to live till i was 16 but then i feel in love and now i need to live for her but i dont want to i struggle with the thing of life.
Hmmm..fall in love again? Seriously though is she the only or major stress in your life because if your 16 then you wont have to put up with it long.
yes manly they is schhol but im leaving soon so that isnt bad. im still in love with someone. i think manly that is the reason also i think i am still dealing with the loss of my grandad i think i dunno

How long ago did you lose him?
An Unknown Location | 2 months, 2 weeks ago (2 hours, 20 minutes after post)
I understand, yes dealing with a loss can add unwanted stress and depression which would only worsen your current situation.
yes it did, school was bad and did from the day i started but now it has started to get beter even thought ill be finishing in a few weeks. the people who i see have told me that i dont have a mental illness and that was a bit of a relife but also a bit of a disapointment because now i dotn no whats wrong, i also wanted anti-depressants but they wont give me them.
An Unknown Location | 2 months, 2 weeks ago (2 hours, 26 minutes after post)
Yes I feel for you there, sometimes you wish you were mentally ill just so you can understand why you feel the way you do, anit-depressants may seem like a good answer but they have so may side effects and can in some rare cases make the taker feel worse.
yes i no that i just want something to make me happy anything. i just dont get what is wrong with me and why i cant control my feelings
An Unknown Location | 2 months, 2 weeks ago (2 hours, 30 minutes after post)
Trust me you aren’t the only one who wants to control your feelings but truth is no one can really do that. you can be happy agian but drugs aren’t the best way to do that. There are many other methods you can use until things get better at home.

Well my best advice to cheer yourself up is to find something you are really good at and put all your heart and soul into it.
ok thank you
im going to get back to my work now
but thanks for all your help
