-- Posted by Anonymous at 1:16 pm on June 18, 2008 Things have started to get on top of me lately and I'm finding getting through the day hard but I know that my problems aren't as bad as some peoples and I should be coping with them better. Basically my mum and I can't get on. It started about 6 months ago when we fell out big time and ended up not talking a few weeks ago. It was then when we started talking again but each time we do we can't seem to go a day without having a massive argument. Today we went out for a meal, had a great time but when we got home just fell out - again. I don't know exactly why we don't get on because I really want to and she seems want to get along too. She is a difficult person to be around and I've been told that by a few people but I'm headstrong and opinionated  and I think that I must be part of the problem even though I try my best. So basically I've resigned myself to the fact that the relationship that I once had with my mum is irretrievable and that thought hurts allot. The other thing is that I am 16 and still have no idea where my life is going at the moment. My social and personal life is very restricted by my parents, if I go out in anything remotely  feminine or wear make-up then to them I look like a slag. I would love to move out but I don't know here I'd go or what I'd do and I couldn't leave my dogs with my parents. I had a master plan that now I have a 10 week holiday from school that I could sort myself out, find a job and be happy but it's failing. I'm finding it hard to cope with life now - I'm having trouble eating right, i can't sleep, i feel ill and sometimes I just break down and cry. For the last two hours all I've done is cry and listen to coldplay (and I don't even like coldplay that much). I can't really see a reason or an end to it. I don't even know why I wrote this but I suppose it has helped to write it all down. -- Posted by BOOM BOOM BOOMx3 at 1:18 pm on June 18, 2008 its okay. go out with some friends, it'll make you happier. -- Posted by hubert cumberdale at 1:18 pm on June 18, 2008 awh. i'm sorry. i hope things turn out better for you. i really do. -- Posted by Natsy at 1:20 pm on June 18, 2008 get a job--apply on monster.com, and when you've saved about £2,000 move out into a small flat xx good luck and hang on in there! -- Posted by JackieisBlue at 1:21 pm on June 18, 2008 Quote: from BOOM BOOM BOOMx3 at 1:18 pm on June 18, 2008 its okay.   go out with some friends, it'll make you happier. I agree. dont let your parents opinions rule yours. You can be your own person without their approval. -- Posted by dnyuki at 1:43 pm on June 18, 2008 oww theres just times when things are like fucked up and we got no power to change it at all. but yea..patience. talk to ur parents about it slowly, dont give up hope.
