My Parents Are Acting Strange
My parents have been really weird because next month in my 15th birthday and they want me to do a purity ceremony. They have been trying to bribe me with all these really expensive rings and other things. I mean yes I want to do it but I hate being bribed into doing something I already want to do. They always start to act nice before my Birthday and apoligize for their actions then a week or so after they go back to the same old treatment.

If it helps to just talk and express how you are feeling, then continue to email or call us for support.  We are here to help you in any way that we can.  Some other things you can do to feel better when you are having a hard time are;  listening to your favorite music, journaling your thoughts and feelings, taking a walk, or reading a good book.  Doing these things on a regular basis when you are feeling upset will help you to better cope and to feel better.
 
Families go through difficult times sometimes and it helps if you are able to communicate your feelings to each another.  Some families do this at dinner time when everyone is sitting down together.  Some families have family meetings once a week or as often as they are able to get everyone together.  This is a great time to open up with each other and communicate your needs and concerns.  Talk to your parents and ask if this is something your family can do.  Let us know how things are going for you when you have a chance.  Hope to her back from you soon.
 
Take care,
Michelle, Counselor
