ok so im transferring from a school that i made a lot of good and bad friends with, had a lot of fun moments at, and besides the fact that the teachers didnt care i loved it because i was popular and known as the cool girl. i was so excited to go back to this school for 7th grade thinking that i would see cuter boys and more awesome people and cooler teachers, but my grandmother was pushing me to go to this snobby school where all the kids are white and i did NOT WANT TO. but it is a private school so when you register you have to have good grades and everything to get in. so my 5 year old cuzn got in about...2 weeks ago. so here i wuz thinkin that i wuz gonna go back to my old school but that changed when i got a call from the school this morning saying that there was an opening for me 
. so i have to start school on thursday which sucks cuz my old school is supposed to start on the 25th. and i am not excited or anxious at all becuz i rilly did not want to go. my grandma always said that god knows best, and that i would not have gotten the call if it wasnt where i was supposed to be, but still im a teenager and 13 yeaars old...itz not that easy to make friends at my age becuz of how mean and critical kids are these days . the only reason she wants me to go is becuz all the classes are college bound, and they have a lot of after school activities, and they are nice people but she hasnt met the kids. i would love to go if my friends were going, and also becuz it is a gifted school and they will put me in even more advanced glasses, but since they are all goin back to sun valley and i have to go to this new school called union academy and i might get stressed by the amount of work, i dont think im ready to go. i know this is long but im just very thorough with situations. plzzzzzzzzzzzz anybody on yahoo answers that has transferred schools before and knows how hard and sad it is, plz help me and tell me what to do to let go of my fears and make myself believe that everything will be ok. i really need help too because i dont wanna go there in two days and look all scared and wimpish becuz my real personality is SUPER outgoing, nice, and goofy...not to brag sorry but im just giving you an idea of who i am so you can tell me if people will like me. so plz help me people

Ok I have 2 children of my own from a previous relationship. They are 11 and 9. My fiance' has three children from a previous relationship. They are 15, 11, and 4. They moved to Tennessee with their mother right before Thanksgiving. We don't get to see them very much and they called us the other night and said that they wanted to come stay with us for Christmas. That is all fine because I love his children and he loves mine. We had already gotten them some things for Christmas, we thought that we would have to go to Tennessee to see them for Christmas. Well now my fiance' is mad because I don't want to go and buy any thing else for his kids but I am still getting a few things for my kids, so there for my kids will be getting more than his kids. Now mind you he has not went with me to do any of the shopping and I have done all the shopping for my kids and his. And I got his kids some pretty expensive items, for example a PSP, XBOX 360, IPOD TOUCH, not to mention all the things I got for the baby. I feel that his kids will get enough for Christmas with what we get them and then what they get for Christmas from their mother. My kids only have me to buy for them, I get no help from their father, and their grandmother passed away last year at this time. I just want to give them the best Christmas and I told him that it don't matter the amount of gifts that each child gets it is the love and time that we get to spend together. So my question is am I wrong for buying my children more than his??
Ok, since some of you seem to think that I am spending more for my kids let me point this out. His son wanted a XBOX 360, and an IPOD Touch - ok that was over 0, not to mention the game chair and the guitar hero that I got him. His daughter wanted a PSP so that was 0, not to mention the digital camera, sewing machine, and several Bratz items. The baby got close to 0 in leap frog items and Vtech items, the talking dora doll house and dora items. So it is not like they are getting cheap gifts at all. I have only spent about 0 a piece on my kids because they did not ask for all that expensive stuff. I have taught my kids that it is not the amount of money that someone can spend on you it is the thought and the love that is put into every gift. Money does not buy love by no means!!!
Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with what I have spent for any of the kids and don't resent it either. And my children did not ask for those kind of things because they each have a game system in their rooms and each have Nintendo DS systems. My kids asked for items that were expensive and I have gotten them everything that they have asked for. I just want to get them a few more things to make it equal for all the kids money wise. And he is upset that it will give them more gifts. As one person asked why don't his kids bring my kids gifts - well that all boils down to their mother she is very hateful and has even told his kids that he does not love them and was replacing them with my kids. We have explained to them that is not the case at all and they understand to a point. I can understand him wanting his kids to have a nice Christmas but he also has to realize that it has been all of my money and time that I have been using to do something nice for his kids.

ok, im married to the 3 rd of 4 brothers and my husband's brother's wife has always given me the stink eye. she did when my husband and i first started dating and when she found out i was pregnant, she was furious. she told my mother in law that she wanted to be the first.i let that slide off of my shoulders and continued to be gracious to her. you see, she has been in the family longer then i have, by a few years, but what does that matter? i cant help it that i got the brother who wanted kids at that present time! didnt know i had to wait for her?!so then my hubby and i were engaged, my ring was his great grandmother's ring( that means its her hubby's g-grandma's ring too) and she was upset about that as well!her husband bought hers!!! mine didnt have the $ and his mom offered it to him to give to me. she had her ring already! so after that, my husband and i had a small wedding and she never spoke a word to me.just about how they bought some of the food for the reception as a gift. anyhoo..a few months after my husband and i got married. she and my bro in law did.I said, congratulations at her reception and she said, "yea, atleast you didnt have to wait." what???i just walked away. About 6 mo later, she got pregnant. and when she found out it was a girl, she cried all day. she was so unhappy. she was upset that i had the first boy. now, she is being a little nasty to our mother in law whom dotes on my son so much. she loves my kid, its her grandson! she says that she is hurt that my mother in law is always catering to my son and that she better not leave her daughter out.i mean...what the heck is this girl's deal? why is she so nasty to me? she doesnt even know me! she is very stuck up and doesnt like to wear used clothes,had to have the best friends that were popular, is a perfectionist...but she comes from white trash! her mom is a fat troll looking lady who smokes, drinks, talks cruedly, and she came from the trailor park!not that thats bad, but she acts as if she came from the perfect family with a lovely mom. my sister in law has a beautiful house and a nice car, and she acts like she is something special...who cares!she acts like she is better than me and everyone else. what can i do? i want to talk to her or write her a letter so badly and tell hr how rediculious she is, but im scared that will cause drama.i have always been gracious to her and i try to dote on her baby when shes around, but she doesnt even offer me to hold her and she doesnt say anything to my son.she isnt mean to him, but isnt at all friendly towards us.
the letter wouldnt be negative, just stern..like, "if you have a problem with me or my son, then you need to tell me how you feel, dont judge me behind my back...yada yada."
yes! i have aksed her to hang out and have included her in many things that have to do with our husband's parents. she is doing the same thing to our mother in law!she had the baby in october and never comes by to visit or let the grandma get close to her new grand daughter.she was holding grudges against my mother in law for something stupid. i hav etried to get close to her and i always say, Look son, its your cousin!" and she never says, "lets get a picture with them together" or i cant wait until they get toplay together." sh eisnt trying to be family with me or my son:(

Hello, there. I'm a 15 year old girl, and I've been feeling..bad, lately. My mom might start talking about school and I feel like bursting into tears. Or I'll feel angry. She's been pressuring me a -lot- about school, which she's never done to my siblings before. I honestly don't think it's fair how much (not that she's doing it) she's pressuring me. It's not like my mother has done this with my other siblings..and I've always received the best grades. Anyway..I'm getting off track. I've had a terrible week since Tuesday (which is when I've started high school). No, my week has not been terrible just because I've started school. It's a lot more complex then that. Then, I heard my mother and my grandmother talking about me..so I went into the kitchen and asked them what they were saying (politely, of course). Apparently, it was about how I'm shy and I don't have the 'gift of gab' like the other members of my family. I just went upstairs after that, got in the bath, and cried. I felt worthless and terrible..I felt like I hated my life. I also feel very irritated, and annoyed at anything someone might say or do that involves me. Normally, I would never feel this way. So why am I now? I haven't had my period for about a month..but I usually never get my period for at least 2 1/2 months. Has my terrible week, etc. contributed to such feelings? Or am I going to get my period earlier then normal? Or is it just hormones? Thanks for your help!
*edit* I usually have to wait 2 1/2 months between each period.
Actually, my grades aren't slipping at all. They're excellent, in fact. But as soon as I started high school..I've been told every single day that she's going to accept nothing less then an A, and it seems like she's telling me that I have to do better then my best. So, I'm really stressed about that.

Ok, i'm a recent graduate, a year early. throughout this previous school year my mother has been all for me going to college, supporting me one hundred percent and never having any objections to my college path that i'll be taking. After years and years of wanting to be a nurse, i decided that i would rather go to college for Information Tech. She really didn't care about it and said that college was important.
It all came down to getting me a student loan because my family doesnt qualify for financial aide because my step father has a 6 digit annual income. my mother after getting a divorce got horrible credit, and has been denied for student loans for me left and right, and she refuses to have my step dad get one ofr me. She then avoids the subject, says that I'm just fulfilling my f***head boyfriends dream, and not following the path i always wanted. So she refuses to do anything ABOUT my student loan. Is it her just stalling to keep me here longer? or her not caring.
