Answer #1

Wowie, your situation is acutally a lot like mine. Im 16 and my mom Has been in a coma and has canser, She suffers from depression. For some reasion I think I might be a little materialistic. And my mom think I think shes a bad Mom, But shes really not. Think about your mom. Do you love her? Would moving away put a lot of stress on you/her/your brother. Also, Think about your dad. Will he bet there like mothers are (im assuming on this one) I want to move to my dads house, And I’m kinda in the same boat. I’m scared about it. Just try to keep in mind how your actions are going to affect your family. Your mom might hate your father because she lost you to him. And Your brother might get it even harder. Talk to your borther about it. And Let me know what you do, Because I kinda need help about it too.

OK well… I used to feel like this a lot… and well yeah… there are lots of things that are hard in your life and you are going through a lot… and I remember my mum used to say to me, there is always someone worse off… but I never really thought about it.

Try to look on the bright side… so many other things could be going wrong as well… you could be homeless, you could live in a war zone, with a chance of dying any day… you could have no family… you or someone you love could be dying… there are so many things that could make it worse.

This doesn’t mean that times aren’t rough at the moment, everyone has their problems… some more than others… I only realised this recently… im 13 as well =P It when you lose something that meant to you more than anything else when you really realise…

Just try to concentrate on the good things… there are alwasy problems and maybe you could look for help by turning to family or close friends… but I don’t like doing that much… so I have a book where I right down whats annoying me and upsetting me when I feel really down.

I usually find though that when I feel down all I really need is a hug off somebody… whether its off my dad or my best friends… it helps.

And sometimes it is rough financially, it was for me when I lived with my mum… I didnt get pocket money either… but what I thought really mattered was letting her know that I don’t need all that… I don’t mind not getting pocket money… because there is a lot of pressure for her as well and I’m sure she has lots of worries as well.

Its hard though… but things will get better… just try to concentrate on the good things… and I know everyone says that, but really give it a go… you might find it does really help ;)

Good luck, you can funmail me anytime if you want =)

Take care

Answer #5

Well girl life is hard and every one has a hard time I mean I was 17 when I had my first and like there was some hard nights where I would cry my self to sleep. Just hold your head up high and keep telling your self that life will go on. If you ever need to talk to some one im always here and am more then happy to help. Yours truly, Demika Ray

Answer #6

okay I am also 13 and my mom suffers depresion, smokes, got divorced, and always argues with my older sister and sometimes when I listen to them arguing I start crying in my bedroom. but do you know you could also be suffering depresion well if you dont then you might wanna go to the doc so that you can take medicine that will reduce your stress and this really is important because people who suffers depresion will live a very short life.

Answer #7

When I saw your question title Hard life??? Urgent help needed! I thought oh no another girl feeling sorry for her, but hun your life is bad. And you just need to talk to someone you trust. Or maybe try talking to your mum and just say(if your 100% sure) I love you very much and I don’ t like the arguments it’s too hard for me to handle with school and problems too I can’t handle it so would it be ok if I went and stayed with dad for a while. Something along them lines. Hope this helps, and I hope it’s hets better. Good Luck x
