<< well therapy sounds like the best long term solution for this. best short term.... probably sports... they're a good way to work out anger. >>

LMAO!!! hahahaha....
Ok that must've gotten a smile on whoisx3ro's face

Sorry to be rude and stuff. But you're disrespecting your mom. maybe that's why your not getting along with her. It doesn't matter what the state says. If you're under your parents roof. You live by their rules. Dude you're only 18. give me a break! the piercings are always of great concern to parents. It does matter what you do to your body. if you're using MJ, then hell yeah, your parents should be concerned. it doesn't sound like you have your life straight buddy. all this sympathy going out towards you and just cuz you don't like your family? what a f-ing ingrate!

look. i think the problem is you're feeling somewhat rebellious but at the same time somewhat upset that you've upset your family. I'm done posting here! :|

time heals all wounds. just wait. in 6 months it'll be better. it worked for me. till then look at life from the outside. get a new perspective. i know thats vague but think about it.

Crabbyapple,
Dood, I don't disrespect my mom......I just don't like the fact that she tries to tell me that she has control over what's done to my body, because she doesn't, because it's my body!

<< I'm having problems here guys...

Maybe it's time to give up...
>>



There's your biggest problem.... this is a horrible attitude... depression is the most common mental diagnosis.... this matter has been studied and alot can be done about it.

This time to give up S- is nonsense... you're not alone in this.... everyone suffers depression sometime in their life.

I agree with others... I strongl suggest you go see a doctor and have him treat you.... the most common treatment is sone SSRI and therapy... you'll be up and back to normal in no time flat.... I promise you...

If you are all against doctors... you might want to try taring some St. Johns Wort... which has something that parmalocicaly resembles Prozac.... people swear by the stuff and they've even done clinical studies that support it's efficicy.

It's the entire thing about you comming from her body... and that's why she feels she has control over you...

Just smile and say "yes mother" and try not to do anything too out of the ordinary.... trust me... if you think you're stressed... you don't know what it's like to be her.

<< Az, that's great and all, but she has absolutely NO right to try and tell me she has a say in what I can get done to my body......The State of Texas says that I'm 18, I no longer need consent from my mom for any piercing and/or tattoo.....And that's that! >>



You're right, you do have that legal right, but my point is that it would have been nice if you talked to her about it first to get her used to the idea. Take down the defense shield for a sec and see things from her point of view. I'm not saying you have to agree with her, or with me, just step back for a sec and look at things from an angle other than your own. It's more a common courtesy thing over asking permission. You live with her right? It'd just be a nice thing to do. Communication plays a key role in a successful relationship, whether it be boyfriend/girlfriend, friend/friend, or parent/son or daughter.

That part of my post was not my main point, though. It's really not my business over whether or not you got a piercing. It was more of a side note. What I want to stress is communication. Don't pretend things are ok with friends/family when they're not. Talk to people. Bottling things up does nothing toward problem solving.



<< I just don't like the fact that she tries to tell me that she has control over what's done to my body, because she doesn't, because it's my body! >>



Tell her this, but don't see it as a struggle or argument. Be adult, turn it into a discussion. Talk to her about pros and cons and about why you want to do the things you want to do. Then ask her her side, why is she against it? Listen to her, and talk some more. The problem may not be one-sided. Mom may need to learn to let go and get used to the idea that you're growing up. Give her time to do this, she's human after all.

<< 2) There is nothing wrong with not being happy. >>



I agree in part. It's impossible to be happy all the time, it'd be a bit weird if someone was. It is not good, however, to be unhappy all the time. If someone is, then he/she needs to step back and access the situation to see what can be done about it.

Nicely put :)

It's all about looking at the glass the other way.
