  • What to do for friend on anniversary of her father's death?

    Friends - 4 hours ago

    Additional Details

    My best friend's father was murdered three years ago, and the anniversary of his death is coming up in the middle of November and I was trying to come up with some ideas as to what I could do for her and her family. I'm very close with them, but it's hard to think of something, given the situation. Does anyone have any ideas about what I could do? Thank you! WHOA. Some people are taking a nice gesture as something mean. There's a nice way to explain how you feel, making someone feel as if they're doing something bad, when only trying to help, isn't it. I in no way shape or form meant as a way to "celebrate" I simply only wanted ideas as to what I could do for her that day to get her mind off of it.

    We've liked each other a long time and I just thought I'd tell him and get over it but he didn't do/say anything. What would you do if you were in this situation? I've waited 2 weeks! I'm thinking it's time to move on.
  • Should I make my Mother suffer?

    Family - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I hate my Mother. She's not abusive or anything, but she doesn't understand me neither the rest of my family. I want to get revenge. I want to make her suffer because she wouldn't let me and my brother order food as there's nothing much left in the fridge. She thinks there's more food for us in the fridge, but we both don't agree with her. Another thing is she doesn't think I'm grown up enough to go to the doctor even though I'm trying so hard. I hate her so much. I will make her suffer by hurting myself. I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! How could I say that? Now I'm such a terrible person. It's just that I wish she appreciate me even more instead of saying that my drawing is okay. Then she is looking down on me. What should I do to make her even more happier?

  • I just came up with another question! Who should I talk to about this?

    Family - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I have a situation (That is explained here- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuA07LpmAMQOBK5CW8QxuAjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091107140823AAefcGP ) in which I would like to talk to someone about. If you read it you'll know I obviously can't talk to my mom about. My dad and my grandma are just out of the question as well. So who would you guys think to be a good person to talk about this between the following: My sister who knows (younger sister) My older and much more reasonable sister (She doesn't know and I am afraid if I tell her mom might figure out I told her and that would not be pretty) My youth minister (I am a bit unsure about him because I don't know if this information should only be circulated in the family) Or should I only rely on people I don't know online like I am now? I would really love to talk to someone who won't leak the info that I told them back to my mom and who would be understanding and willing to talk to me about this, because this really hits me hard. This is like one of the biggest things I have ever learned of in my life. When I say younger sister I mean younger of my two older sisters
