Question by CheekySmile<3: I’m trying to stay away from a girl but she keeps starting on me..?
There is this girl.. She is my neighbour and lives just a few doors down.. She’s 4 years younger than me… She’s reported my mum to social services for “child abuse” 3 times even though my mums never ever laid a finger on us, it was all just for a cheap shot because my sister had an argument with her. My mums seriously ill and disabled.. This girl is always saying I’m not ill, even though I have Thyrotoxic.. She said that if I was seriously ill my blood tests would have been done the same day.. She thinks nobody is as ill as her mum who is an alcoholic “/ I’m on medication to stop my illness. She always just puts me down. She’s now, joined my class.. She’s done absolutely none of her work, even though we’ve been there for 6 months.. The teacher was talking to her as she’s spent her whole time in class on social networking sites while we’ve all done work.. I left the class room and so did everyone else while she was being told off by the teacher.. She never bothered coming in the next day and said, “everybody was laughing at her” that’s why she wasn’t in.. Absolutely nobody was laughing at all… A week later, my friend tells me.. “She said she thinks you’ve got a problem with her, and she said, she’s not coming back because you were laughing at her for being told off..” One minute the girl said, everybody was laughing at her, now she’s saying it’s all down to me.. Everybody said I’ve done nothing wrong, she’s doing it in spite because I’ve blocked her on social networking sites because she will stalk me and report my family for doing nothing wrong… She’s always rubbing it in my face that she has new things, showing off that she’s going on holiday to everybody.. She just act’s like she’s amazing and beautiful in comparison to everyone.. She’s just horrible and sadly Karma hasn’t hit her yet.. What can I do?! If I report her to the teacher, she’s just going to either report me or report my mum for “apparent” child abuse or fraud… Which is all lies.. Why me?

Below is a link to a great article you should read about toxic people. You are asking the wrong question when you ask “why me?” If you view yourself as a victim, you become one. First, you have to take responsibility for your part in all of this.

Please read this article as it is very powerful and can offer solutions!

Good luck to you!!!

Question by –: Help for an alchoholic?
My mom drinks almost every night. She used to drink just wine. But now she’s moved on to beer and brandy. She knows she has an issue but she’s like ” i know, I’m only going to have a little bit” and I’m like ” okay, sure mom” and then it turns out she was lying. I’m only 11 and i really want to get her to stop. Does anyone have any links to websites? Please no rude or harsh comments.

Question by nes: Moving away to start fresh? Good/Bad idea?
im 20years old, have a boyfriend of 2 years. hes an alcoholic. I cant find it in myself to leave him but things are very bad and i know i have to. I kinda stopped going to school bc of him so i only have like a semester of college. I do have a good job tho.. i work for a bank as an investigator and make about 2500 a month. I also have quite a bit of money saved up in the bank.. about 35k. Lately Ive been having thoughts of moving away alone.. starting fresh somewhere else.. moving now and spending the summer getting to know the city… I can try to get a transfer for my job and go back to school. I just feel like staying here and staying with him is holding me back, sometimes I think this is a good idea and sometimes I think its absolutely nuts! So idk.. moving somewhere alone to start new is what a lot of ppl say they wish they could be but they dont for one reason or another. I actually have the means to do that but do you think maybe Im just stressed and this is a bad idea or do you think its something that i should really think about and maybe actually try?
