Be strong and do not show emotion if they try to make you back down.  You have to live with this man, so its your decision and you have to live with it.  I am sure that your family only wants you to be happy.

If you are desiring greater freedoms, then accept greater responsibilities. While living under someone else's roof, I suggest you abide by their rules. All of the teens on the internet cannot change your parents household policy. I hope they stick to their guns.

hi moll.  i'm so sorry for the way that you feel.  and i do wish i could make it better, but i can't.  i can offer you this though it may not help much right now.  sometimes when parents have a "special" child, they feel guilty. whether or not it could or couldn't have been prevented.  unfortunately, the guilt they feel, not only punishes them, but all those involved.  your brother included.  the only advixe i can offer is that you hang in there girl!  try to talkt o your parents, or the one parent who seems more receptive.  maybe you wanna ask or volunteer to participate in things with your brother and parents?  you sound like a sensitve person, and i'm sure your parents love you.  they may feel that you are better equipped to deal with less attention because you are "normal", though i don't personally believe that is true.  all children need, want, and deserve attention... maybe just in different ways.  find someone you can talk to, that will listen and hear your feelings.  i'll put you in my prayers.

NO WAY!!!!\nIt is your family and you should allow them to use you home.\n\nBut if they are staying for a long period of time then you might ask them to pay you for the bills and other things of such matter.\n\nBut if frequent item distruction occurrs or they are causing you extra for things, and you ask them to stop and these things still happen then you can kick them out.\nIf they refuse then take it to the court.

well i'm going through the similar thing but what i've done is gone to stay with my sister for a few days but if you got any close friends or family go and stay with them for a few days and see how you are after it and if u still upset and feel the same way then ask your friends or family if you can move in with them till you get a place and try hang out with other boys or go clubbing

Got Parents ??? Use them, thats why they're there. Otherwise talk to a trusted adult. Don't rely on your friends for misinformation.

I think you should speak to your girlfriend and maybe she could talk to her mom about the issue. Your right though its not your house and your girfriends mom probably wouldnt want you to say anything. But then again you do practically live there if you stay 5 nights a week.... but i would still just speak to your girlfriend she could include herself as having the problem to and just say mom me \nand_______ are having a hard time sleeping and we both would really appreciate it if ________ could be a little quiter when he comes over. if that dont work get EAR PLUGS!

Sounds like someone is trying to hold you back. Ask you parents or HelpDesk for further instructions.

If you are living at home, you do not have the right to privacy!  You likely are not providing the home, the utilities, the groceries, the upkeep and maintenance or anything else associated with the home.  Further, your parents are probably purchasing most, if not all, of your clothing, make up, accessories and on and on.  Do you drive yet?  If so, did you provide your own car or did your parents provide you with one?\n\nResponsible parents KNOW that their children don't tell them everything ~ they were teens once, too.  They also know that it is a very different world than the one we grew up in and kids need a lot more protection.\n\nSure, there were dangers in the world when we were teens, but there were no internet predators, there wasn't near as much kidnapping of children and teenagers, children and teenagers, regardless of gender, being sold into sex slavery and any of the other things that teenagers think will "never happen to me." \n\nThe truth is that none of the ones in your age group that HAVE had it happen to them ever thought it would happen to them, either, but it did.\n\nSo what if he read an email about a guy you liked.  Don't you think he knows you are going to like guys?  You're making a big issue out of something that is no issue at all and, frankly, you're acting like a spoiled little princess about the issue, too.  Sorry, but truth is truth.\n\nAgain, you do not have the right to privacy as long as you are living in your parents' home.  I agree with all the other people who have said they wish more Dad's were like your Dad.\n\nInstead of being overly defensive, demanding "rights," and whining about something as trivial as this, why don't you be grateful that you have parents who are able to provide you with a computer, who are able to keep a roof over your head and food on the table, who love you enough to say "tough cookies" to you and "invade your privacy."\n\nYou want privacy?  Get a job, move out, be completely self-supportive and ask no one for anything.  Then, and only then, do you have the right to privacy.\n\nAs far as the answers on here that say what your Dad is doing is illegal?  Chances are they, too, are teenagers who think they are owed anything they want.\n\nNone of you are "owed" a darned thing!  What you have is by the grace of your parents or other family members providing it to you.  YOU, on the other hand, owe respect to those who provide for you.\n\nIf you were mine and threw a fit about me looking into your computer (which I definately would do) or looking through your bedroom (which I would do), then I would make life very easy for you by removing the computer.  Complain enough, and I would remove your bedroom door.  Continue to complain, and I would remove all extras, such as make up, hair styling equipment and supplies, one by one until you got the message.\n\nHere's the message:  Go to your Dad.  Apologize for overreacting to his CARE and LOVE for you.  Tell him you understand that what he is doing is done out of love for you.  Start respecting and stop demanding.\n\nLastly, you wouldn't be so upset if you weren't hiding something.  You know, I know it, and you can be very assured your Dad knows it.  Teenagers think they are so clever; but, as parents, we see right through you.  Sometimes we stop your behaviors if we think you can be seriously harmed by them.  Other times, we just sit back and feed you enough rope to hang yourselves so that you can learn a lesson the hard way.\n\nADD ON:  See?  My point proven exactly.  No sooner is my answer posted than I see you shouting (using all caps) at people, telling them to give you reasonable answers.\n\nMost of the answers ARE reasonable.  YOU are the one being unreasonable, sweetie.  You are a 13 year old **CHILD** and you are screaming at adults who are trying to help you understand?\n\nOf course you cannot go out and obtain a job and a car .

Yeah, I agree that your brother needs to defend himself if he has no other choice. How big are these kids anyway? Go to your brother's school, and look for these kids, warn them not to mess with your brother or you will tell the higher authorities (their parents, teacher or even the police). Don't take it lightly, you've seen what has happened to the world these days, even kids get emotional and kill each other in a fight. Your mum is weak to think that fighting back is bad. Would she rather see your brother coming home every day with a bloody nose or swollen eyes? I don't think so! Why did she not take actions, I don't know, but you're the big sister, and I'm glad you're protecting on your younger bro. Like you said, teach him some self defending techniques, so that he can protect himself when you're not around. Or better still, enrol him to a karate or taekwondo school.

His parents sound pretty immature and pointlessly mean, if they weren't kidding around. It also sounds like he's picking up on their behavior and imitating it. But his parents' behavior is not as important as his, since he is the one who is your friend. You can confront him about it, if you choose, or you can decide whether his friendship is still valuable to you. Everyone has little things that will annoy us, whether it's friends or family, and you just have to decide whether hanging out with them is worth putting up with them. If his only bad trait is that he occasionally teases your brothers, you might just simply want to ask him to stop.

You didn't say your age, but I'm assuming you still live at home--hense the "grounding".    Parents have reasons for why we do things.  Sometimes they may sound silly and unreasonable to our children.  But, you need to respect your parents wishes and avoid that friend.  Perhaps in the future you will understand why your parents want you away from that person.

try explaining to him your problem.he should behave like a responsible father first.he can't just fool around with you and your kid.\nif his friends come home to stay , just don't allow them.\nmake a big fuss about it everyday.also don't permit him to stay out make sure he returns home.\nwatch whatever he's up to.find out what exactly he's doing with his friends.explain to him he is a father of a 3yr old kid and tell him first to behave like a dad.

YOU SEE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ALSO, SO EVERY YEAR I ALWAYS GO TO MY PARENTS HOME, B/C SHE IS NOT VERY WELL, AND I GET A LOT OF OFFERS TO GO TO MANY OTHER PLACES, BUT I TELL THEM, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MY MOM HAS TO LIVE (WHICH BY THE WAY IS TRUE) SO MOST OF THEM UNDERSTANDING. I THINK YOU AND YOUR BROTHER SHOULD GO TO YOUR GRANDPARENTS FOR THANKSGIVING, B/C YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME THEY HAVE TO LIVE ALSO, AND IT WOULD MAKE THE SO HAPPY TO SEE THE BOTH OF YOU. TALK IT OUT WITH YOUR BROTHER. GOOD LUCK, AND I HOPE WHERE EVER YOU GO, THAT YOU WILL HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Tell him you want to meet the brother and his girlfriend first, maybe at a dinner. Or better make some plans that would have you and your boyfriend around them  most of the day on a Saturday.  That way you can get to know them better and hopefully tell if you would feel comfortable with them out of town.  But just going  away with people you don't know, sounds like trouble.
