Been awhile... Here's some advice for you!:)

It has been along while, hope you all enjoyed the Christmas vacation! I received this comment from strings of fun:

Dear Kate,
I am still having problems with my mom and sister what do I do? They blocked me from face book and i can't even go to basketball or mutual. Every time i do something that is not Right I get yelled at by my mom. I just wish that she could see how truely sorry i am and that she could also see that i am giving this UTVA program 110% not then is it to much to ask for? Please, Please Help me. I don't know what to do and i am stressed out because of finals and i just feel like giving up right now. What do you think that i should do? Need help right away

I understand what you are going through completely. A lot of stress and your family is some how against you. The best thing to do is instead of keeping these problems inside of you is to tell your family. Tell your mom how you are feeling, that your upset she is seems angry with you when you try your best. They'll understand if you just talk to them at a nice quiet time, try not to yell at each other. I sometimes have these things with my mom too, I know its hard. Just go and talk to your mom and tell her what you are thinking and feeling. She'll understand:)

Freedom of Speech

Afraid to speak? Scared to let your words be heard? Don't worry about what is going to happen, just let what you have to say be heard. No matter what situation. If there is some one making you or a friend feel bad or a teacher being unfair to you and your grades, tell them you don't like the way you are being treated. If you are still not confident enough, tell a trusted parent. You are a human, and you deserve the same respect as any one else. Next time you get an unfair grade, or some one pushes you down, TELL SOME ONE! If they are your trusting adult, they will help you overcome it! They'll be with you to the end.
