My Grandfather (who we affectionately called Papa), passed away when I was only 7. Although I didn't know him very well, I have always felt a special connection with my Papa. Before he died, he left my 3 sisters and I his prized trumpet that he had used in the Air Force during World War II. This trumpet is an antique war relic worth thousands of dollars. It has been sitting on top of my Mom's piano for many years so that everyone can see it. A few months after last Christmas had passed, my brother and his family were over at my parents house. I overheard a conversation they were having with my dad about how excited my nephew (who is 12) was to start playing the trumpet this summer and that they had taken it to a shop to get it fixed up and found that is was worth several thousand dollars. Upon hearing this, I was very angry and confronted my mom about it. She confirmed that it was my papa's trumpet. I talked to my other sisters and they were angry about it as well. We could not believe that my dad had given a trumpet of that value to a careless 12 year old boy. Not only that, but it wasn't even his to give away. I decided that I would purchase a student trumpet for my nephew and have my dad (who created this problem in the first place) switch them out. He took it over to their house in an attempt to do so, but they became very angry and refused. I don't know what to do. It is tearing me apart to not have this trumpet. What should I do to get it back?

My sister is getting married in April. I have never seen her so happy before. She has been divorced because her husband left her for someone else. It was really hard for her. I don't want to bring back painful memories, but I would love to throw her a small bridal shower, just with her sisters and a few cousins. I don't know if she'd want one though. Any thoughts?

I have a 1.75 gallon tank, and I would like to maybe put a fish in it. I can't spend much. I can make my own fish tank decorations. And yes, I know that you're supposed to boil them before you put them in the tank.

I don't know what to do about my dog. I have had her for 9 months. She is a Yorkie. She really doesn't like me, and every time I call her to me, she slinks away to my sister's room. She loves my sister. My sister has offered to take her with her when she moves to Italy. I feel like my heart would break if I let her go, but I also feel like it is slowly breaking as she is here with me. I never yell. I am always kind to her, yet she acts as though I have deeply offended her every time I want to pet her or sit with her. I want a bunny to cuddle with if she goes, I have found a really cuddly one from the pet store. I just feel like she wouldn't be happy with me. She loves my sister and brother in law, and I don't want to take that away from her. What should I do?

I don't know what to do. I don't mean to sound like I am in any rush to get my period, because I am not, but I don't even have breasts yet. I have had discharge over the last 2 years but it hasn't been consistent. I also have been crampy for the past year and it hurts so bad that I can't even hardly get out of bed on those days. I have even started homeschooling because of the rejection that I have felt because of my body. I have been going through depression and feel sad all the time. I feel like I am in some sort of funk. My mom took me to the doctor and he perscribed these drops that I know take, but they don't seem to help. I still have the body of an 8 year old. I am also struggling with chronic stress.

My cousins in California have always been jerks I want to make them wish that they had been nice to me by becoming pretty. I'm not sure I want to spend the money though. What do you think?

I am going to california. My aunt and uncle live there, along with my cousins as you would assume. My cousins have not always Been very nice to me so I want to show them that I don't need them by looking all pretty. If you could also give me any other ideas about making them wish they had been nice to me that would be great too.
