My family is great. I finnaly have a family. in other words people or are family near me all the time I can take care of and have more fun. U see my mother and father are divorced. and with good reason my mother is a controling person with the rudess ways and does these things in the name of love. she's carzy but never been put up sad and yet good. My dad now has a girlfriend who's neraly his wife. and is a great equal. Very smart and intellgent who's been the hell and back with her family beside her. She's a great Scoripo. And my older brother is off in the army. but sign i belive is aries. the oldest sister aries. the youngest sister is Gemni and me a piscies and my brother another scoprio. who get's his way 'cause he's a baby. an 14 yr. old baby. He's been caved in to getting his way for he throws a 3 yrs. old tantruem. He's a true ass. I don't want to have to fight him for this is how he may and wants this to end. u see my father and me aren't in control of the household of course. but even though we have some leverage we will never have as much as jon does. which is okay. I just want some adivce how to deal with some baby who likes to take stuff and lye worse then any dog. and annoy u like nothing else in the world. help please.
Pay no attention to the negative and reward the positive. In other words...ignore the stuff he does that you don't like and when he does something that "floats your boat" then say something really nice to him. It worked for me smile
Hope this helps you...keep us posted.
i will thanks free bird. i understand that i have to let him his way. even though somone needs to smack him and sock him in the face and jaw.
Hey James,
Do you really feel that by using violence (or thought of) this will help him? Be very honest. If you were him, living in his shoes, what type of decisions would you be making and how would you like for someone to treat you?
My morning thoughts for over here.......
me myself no. but in his shoes he belives he has to hit and punch and has always been like that. he's an a** turly. no, he's a good kid. but the truth is he used to getting his way for so long he nevers getts in trouble. and just recently my stepmom is putting her foot down. that is what everyone who knows him knows that a good fight by someone will clam him down. he is is father reseracted. no, i don't want to. i know in my mind that is the only way. but i know in my heart that i belive i can not fight him for such stupid reasons as the bigger man the bigger male the next alpha male. is father is a cookiemonster and only donated sperm an little else to his life.
and the idea to complate him when he does something nice is working thank u. i don't know how it will work or what this may mean. but he hasn't been as agervating and hasn't really puched me in the arm.
oh, my family has changed due to the fact my dad has blood clots in his left leg. he's getting out monday. and my sister was attacked by a cat not to bad but enough cuts and bites for antibotics. things are going to be okay though.
okay this a expanison to the marraige thing. okay last night i finally realized Karen problem. It seemed and appered that I was leaving my Dad. His only son. Not a very good thing. Once agian I didn't think to far ahead. this is the first time i've done something like this. But i've apoligezed and gotten over the gulit. But now well that I will never do that.
New rule: Go to the sick of family and friends and funerals if not send flowers and call often. which really should be common sense.
well they got married. and it was a simple marraige but was a good one. and emtional of course.
and things are all going well here on the home front.

Last night there was some other issues at the store I will talk about later

Let me guess more inbreading?
ha ha ha
no no
my step-mom, karen, got mad at me for not hearing her in the bolt room, she wanted me to put money in the register. that was fine, i overheard her saying that at least jon will say that he doesn't think he should do what my dad tells him to do all the time because in a sense not his parent. me, i on the other hand her view is that i say i want to but i won't do what she tell me to do..... i didn't hear her honteslty. even though i have excellent hearing my mind was serously elsewhere. ooohh. they won't understand if i told them. Later she had me come in there and said that though she may not be my parent here at the store she is still my boss. that made me cry in the bathroom, i kept my compusre till i got there

hmm, my mom and me talked more about how grandmother is not helping her deppression by guilt triping her, how did their realtionship losse it's strength that is my mom and my aunts, they never talk.... what did my grandmother do that she won't admit. What secerts are being hoarded.....
I will not let this go on for to much longer, there are things repressed that seem i beileve somethings need kept in the family but should at least be talked about in a more a freer matter.

last night was not fun. after the parade we were suppose to meet my parents at the old suprtidents office. which is near our high school. well, jon, had to go to the bathroom so he went to the restroom and i got us drinks so we moved toward downtow. we were late and that was a promblem. i should have know, because as karen said old news degates new news. Junior is an adult so certinally you are really the one in charge. they let me go to new york the only thing i lost was a cell phone, and i'm not downtown and they can't find us. they didn't think i needed the cell phone.... so that was not fun. i didnt' give a name of a friend of ours becuase i didn't know speciffical her name and i told a friend from karate. so she asked again. and soon as she got done w/ something she ran in their to tell dad that i didn't tell her the girls name. i was called in their and was reminding that i shouldn't keep secerts. yeah. so dad asked me this morning if me and jon had been arguing. no. i left. i mean my God, i'm sorry but do think you all unconousily make life hell for me so it's punhiment because i want to go to colloge. i'm just feeling very unloved by her and it's getting to the point where i'm just so tried. she's the only true mother i have. my other one's learning to be on her own but i have to help so much it's not the same she she's really the only one and not to mention that if she hit me per se when i'm 18 for doing something wrong, it wouldn't be child abuse.... it's tring she doesn't do that. pointing out i would have no thing to put against her. I just hope sissy, jo and i can talk.

i just have to get done w/ my mother constantly in my school work.
The plot thickens.... Portiflos are writings of 5 pices 2 from Engilsh, 2 Transitive (not from English), and the Letter to the Editor. Novie, Apprentice, Proficent, and Distguineshed are the ratings low to high. I got a novice, so a letter was sent home. Not cool, so if my Senior poriflo unlike my mock-portiflo that i did my Junior year to take off pressure my Senior year. If my Senior is not higher then a novice when graded I will fail English and be uable to Graduate. If you do 30hrs. of Ess and work during class diglehtley you will pass English even if you get a novice. The money the school gets some of it comes from our scores on Senior of Portiflo. I don't like that. They have now will have a piolet class of writing which you will work on the poriflo. My main problem is spelling, grammar and simple machanics of English. Some of the mistakes were spelling none of us caught. What I hated was that there was no comments only corrections and markings on the scoring guide. Okay, since I didn't explain it's a overall score, you may have 1 novice, 3 aparintice and 1 Disgushied but if overall your picies fit into the block that descirbs novice that is what you get. So i'm going to Ess for a while.
It wasn't nice how i tried

It wasn't nice how i tried to pay a quater on my parents pop and they said i need to save that money for if i fail to pay for my GED so i can then go to college. Bunch of marker thoughts they were saying. not very helpful. the baisc message is you need to buckle down.
My mom did some of my work on engilsh homework. ttmal

God. oh well. i had to give up my cd player for 48 hrs. but not my cds. ha ha ha. school computer, duh.
oh well.

is anyone going to respond?
I will be the respondent, first let me say I am no more than the respondent the responsibility to change is yours. If I where a member of your clan I might seek out a physical anthropolgist, Perhaps he or she could determan where the human evolution and variations stopped along the evolutionary path. The next step phyletic tring to trace the course of evolutionary or phylogenetic development. During this period the use of a physiotherapist is recomended. Perhaps your whole clan can be placed under protection of the goverament as an endangered species.
Hang in there with the English, James. You'll get it. I feel the way about Math that you feel about English. I understand how frustrating it is that you have to accomplish certain specific educational goals set for you by your school, when your mind doesn't happen to easily grasp certain concepts (I could not sit here and do long division if someone paid me). Get with other students who are willing to help you along. Use all the resources you can to trudge through it. I can't tell you it will be fun but in the end you will be very proud of yourself, if you can do what they're wanting you to do, in spite of the fact that it doesn't come naturally for you. And I know it's much easier said than done, but try to not worry about the family issues until you get past the school issues, for now. That is only going to distract you.
AAAAHHHHHHHHH math add all the numbers between one and one hundard in your head, you can do this in about two seconds right, Simple I will show you. 1,2,3,--- 47,48,49,50,51 52 53---97,98,99,100 answer 5050 all the numbers between 1 and 49 make 49 groups of 50 all the numbers between 51 and 99 make 49 groups of 50. put them together and you have 4900 add 50 add 100 =5050.
Jake your funny. and thaks for the good adivce phoniex.
