Silverblade5 he/him Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 It'd be funny, but it would only make her angry, which she would take out on me and my siblings. Set it up for a time frame when she's out of the house:ph34r:
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Set it up for a time frame when she's out of the house:ph34r: She'd stay mad until she'd vented that anger through endless lectures on trivial topics, like the importance of not using the wrong type of hanger for certain shirts.

Do it with your phone then, and when she asks, say "I just don't know what went wrong!"
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Do it with your phone then, and when she asks, say "I just don't know what went wrong!" She'd blame me anyway. Look, this is the woman who, when I got so anxious at a church function that I ran into a public restroom crying, followed me in--not to comfort me or ask me what was wrong, but to berate me for making her look bad. This is not the sort of woman you prank. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 *hugs until end of time* Well, now I feel bad about complaining about my parents, because my problems are definitely not as bad as others'. But I need to get it out somewhere. Dear Mom and Dad, Yelling at me will not make me happy. Neither will exasperation, quoting things at me, or passive-aggressiveness. It isn't my fault that I've been having a rough time. I try to be positive and go out there and be cheerful but it doesn't work out like that. I'm not trying to be frustrated with things, I'm not trying to forget about other things, I'm not purposefully missing the bus to school. Please. Stop trying to passive-aggressively wave your magic wands to suddenly make me perfect. It won't work, because I'm not. I need time and I need encouragement. If your parents are mad at you because you need time to adjust and help coping like a normal human, I wouldn't call it "not serious" or "not as bad." You're a person. People sometimes have trouble adjusting to new things, and what people need during those times of adjustment is support. Not passive aggression, not anger, not resentment. My parents did that to me when I had a tough time with the move from Moses Lake to Spokane, and it took YEARS for me to realize it wasn't okay. What your parents are doing isn't okay, it isn't right, and it shouldn't be minimized. 1
Delightful Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) I can't win here. The only move I have is not to play.This sounds disturbingly like the line from War Games. Referring to nuclear war. Mistrunner, I'm sorry it's so hard for you right now. I just want to throw out the idea here - most likely, your parents want to help you but don't know how, so it's coming across badly. I don't know for sure and it doesn't mean that they're currently treating you ok. Try talking to them about it? *hugs* Edited November 5, 2015 by Delightful
MrMistborn he/him Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I'm just so worried about my friend. Recently, he's been so very quiet towards me and others. He won't talk, doesn't often respond, and when he does, will write all that he says, writing to me that "i just can't get the words out of my mouth" he talks to teachers in an actual, albeit quiet voice though. He says everything is fine and rejects any attempts to help him with "i'm just tired". I've encouraged him to go talk to someone but nothing has happened. The strangest part is that outside of school he is fine, just his regular, normal self. He's ot shy though, before this started he was one of the most outgoing people i knew. And it's getting me down as well. Things are getting hard, as the mental state of my best friend is just weighing down on me constantly. I just don;t know what to do... 1
Delightful Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 MrMistborn, I'm a little reluctant to say this because I don't actually have much idea what I'm talking about, but. Coming from my very limited experience here - maybe he was/is a victim of sexual abuse at school? That's kind of what it sounds like to me. Like I said I have like zero idea if that's even a possibility. But the suddenly being very withdrawn.....I think that's a possible sign? And maybe he can't talk about it because of shame?

I highly doubt it... we are an all boys school and no one that i really know is gay, sooo. Also there is no paedophilia at the school at all. I think that's ruled out
Delightful Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Not to make you paranoid or anything, but can you be absolutely sure there's no paedophilia? I think in any case, the main thing is to let your friend know you're always there for him. See if you can get him to call an anonymous help line maybe. Edited November 5, 2015 by Delightful
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Dear Mom and Dad, Please stop pressuring me. I know I have ADHD, OCD, insomnia and anxiety disorders, plus a poor immune system, but yelling at me will only make it worse. Packing is hard, okay? Pushing it on me will only make it worse. From, Your Son 2

Blaze1616 he/him Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Not to make you paranoid or anything, but can you be absolutely sure there's no paedophilia? Considering the friend is speaking with teachers, I don't believe it would be abuse from a figure of authority. But sexual abuse can stem from peers as well, even if they aren't homosexual. For example, it's still sexual abuse if, in a locker room, a peer forces some embarrassing outfit (or lack there of), pose, or sexual action on the poor kid, and the incident would be particularly scarring if public ridicule came out of the situation as well. That said, this type of reaction could easily be in response to bullying as well. I think that's the more likely situation considering the friend reverts to their normal self outside of school. But I'm no psychiatrist.

Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Morzathoth is in a sunny meadow, when he is swarmed by fluffy corgis in cute outfits and husky puppies. "We love you, Morzathoth...and we always will!" "No...no! Nooooooo!" Morzathoth wakes up in a cold sweat...thank the Abyss it was only a nightmare! He looks out a window and sees a corgi staring at him with love and understanding in its eyes. Morzathoth screams. End scene. 8
