I am now the 'outcast'. I don't fit in.My closest friend is a 20 min. drive away, and now that Mom finished her school, her and Dad had a talk. Apparentlysince me, and my brother argue, we don't get along, and she thinks that she caused it all. Now she has it in her head that if she leaves, it will all be better. I am only 13, my brother is 11, and my little sister is only 6. I don't even know what to do with myself anymore. We have 600 acres of crop out in the field, and we have to get everything seeded. Grandma said that there is no need for me to go to the field cause she and her brother has it handled, and is complaining that the trucks won't be running fast enough... guess who gets yelled at? Me. I can't do a darn about moving the trucks, cause I don't have my driver's license yet, and all I could legally do is combine. I'm pretty good at it too. I suggest it to her, and I got into more trouble, and she phoned Dad and told him that I was back talking her. :mad: I wasn't sarcastic even!. My math teacher hates me, cause I can't figure out the formulas that she gives us, but I will do some calculating in my head, get the right answer, write it down, and she is accusing me of cheating. I did it my way on the test, and 'her way' is 'the right way', so I got 1 of 4 marks for each question, cause I can't figure out the *%#@!(^ formula! :mad: :mad: :mad: :evil: :evil: :!:
I am really getting PO'ed at all of this.

Thanks, I feel better now.

Being a kid is a tough gig isn't it. I guess the only advice I'd have to give you is be patient. You won't always be young. You'll be able to better control the way your day goes in a few years. For the time being try to be as obedient as possible. It'll be a smoother ride. Lastly while you are young you are in the best position to learn how to be a parent . Pay close attention and try to remember when you get to be a dad that thoughtfulness and kindness are important to children. One more thing , be forgiving. We all make mistakes. Tomorrow will be a better day. Be a cowboy and tough it out in the short run.

Thanks, Redrobin.
It is tough. People don't realize it, especially when 3/4 of your time is spent on work, and the other 1/4 is for school. I do my work, but there is always something that diddn't get done, and I hear about it everyday. Noone ever looks at what you DO do, bu tthey will always remember what you don't, catch my drift? If tomorrow will be a better day, I'll be a happy kid... mabye tomorrow, it wont be so muddy and I can actually do somehting outside, besides chores and my walks!

Are you saying your mother is really leaving, ACS?

That's a really tough deal for everyone involved.
You seem pretty wise and mature for your age and I know you
will do the best you can.

I feel bad that you have to go through this.

Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!

Your folks are going thru
a rough time right now. Believe me, it will get better.

I'd be proud to have you for a son or a grandson. I think you are
one good kid. And I bet your folks know it too.

ACS,

Your mom and dad, are they your REAL mom and dad, or is one of them a step parent? This is so very, very important.

Let me know ASAP,

ACS I can see how it affects you. I can say my son felt as you do, even with the math, he was 13 when his dad decided to move on. It is hard, but you just have to remember it has nothing to do with you or your brother. The problems are with your parents. I will never say Cowboy up on this situation, you need to be able to let your feelings out. Bottled up feelings cause nothing but pain later. You are blessed to have this group to support you....just having somewhere you can release this is good, my son is 19 and is having to work out the anger issues from it all now. He is a kid with a heart, and I tried to get him to talk about what was inside, but he withdrew. So you just keep writing to us on here..anytime. I will respond to you, I normally do not respond much on here. But, I feel for you and know what you are going through.

Huggss to you young man...

This is a very tough age to be going through this. I am sorry you have my prayers. please find a release for your anger and frustration so they dont build. All the adults will be very short tempered for a while tryin to deal with this situation themselves. Alot of times we adults forget the childrens anger and only see our own. Try to be as calm and under control as you can.
What level math are you in? My son ,Morgan is in Algerbra scholars. He is in the 8th grade but can work and explain any level math. He is an awsome teacher and LOVES to help. Let me know what you need help in and I am sure he can get you to be able to show your work well enough for the teacher to be able to see you understand.
Know you have a lot of people in your corner and this too shall pass.............

MsSage, that psyco babble is hard for me to understand. I'd imagine ACS finds it just as difficult. What in the world are you talking about?

To speak my mind, don't bottle up harsh feelings, or they will get you down, I think... As for me, I just go to the woods behind the house, and talk to the dog, I know it sounds stupid, bu tit helps.

You really are a special young man. NO it is NOT stupid you keep on talking to the dog and to us.
I was told a few mins ago how old you are...I guess I skimmed over your age. You are a year younger than my son, who is having troubling dealing with his younger sister who is 11. Yes they fight all the time too. All that means is you are close as brothers.
As I have told him ,YOU and your sibling are NOT to blame for the divorce of your parents that is between THEM. The 2 of yall NOT figting would NOT keep them together.
I am sorry your mother gave you the feeling she is leaving because of the children.
Please know it is going to be hard the next year..BUT you will get through it. There is nothing you can or should have done to stop this. All you can do now is work through and try and make the best of a bad situation. It is OK for you to go talk and cry and vent with the dog or with us. You will come out a stronger and more compassionate young man.
I only wish I could talk to your parents so they could make clear to you that the problem is THEM not you and your brother & sister.[/quote]
