Where to begin... Well about 5 years ago my parents got divorced and agreed on 50-50 custody. Well, I have always been happier at my dads house even though he is strict and has countless rules. My mom has absolutely no rules but that makes it even worse in my opinion because she will randomly get mad at me for no reason. For example, In a few weeks we are having our 8th grade graduation ceremony/ dance and a couple days ago she wanted me to go shopping with her but I had a big report due the next day so I said I didn't want to go. For some reason, she got super pissed of at that and canceled my phone service and said I couldn't go to my own graduation. I mean, seriously, I think a report is a little more important than shopping. Anyways, she never cares about what I want to do or what I care about. Another example is collage. I know I want to go to cal poly to study architecture (don't say I'm too young that's not the point) but she insists I go overseaseas to Europe in order to study computer science. And if I don't, she refuses to pay for any part of my collage. How is this fair? And then there are little everyday things like instead of being able to hang out with my friends she makes me come with her places so she isn't alone. And she forces me to travel with her. I am grateful for being able to travel but I have school and I don't think she should spend all her money on it cuz we are NOT rich. I just don't know what to do now. Any advice is appreciated :) thanks!

My dad recently took a new job out of the blue at a new architecture firm. We have been planning for a year to do the john muir trail (a long backpacking trail) this summer and now he doesn't want to because it would look bad if he took a vacation so soon. Now I know it's not his fault but I really just want to spend a while at my moms house because every time I see him it makes me feel so unbelievably depressed. Backpacking is my life and this meant so much to me. I don't know what to do and I know it's stupid to get upset over but I really really cared about the trip. I'm 14, so can't do it by myself. He told me about a week ago and I just lost all effort that I put into things. I myself have been working my but off at various babysitting jobs and have put about $300 into this, and now it's all wasted. I just don't know what to do now, because he won't let me spend time away from him and he won't change his mind and as I said I honestly hate being at his house, seeing him, looking at all my gear that was packed and ready to go. We were supposed to leave 2 weeks from now and I don't think I can take it: please don't say it's stupid because if you had any clue how much it meant to me you would understand.

Yesterday morning I felt a little nauseous and it felt bad to eat breakfast. Then, at school in the middle of first period (science) while doing an experiment I ran out of the class to throw up. I went home and got some rest and felt really exhausted. Well, I couldn't keep my dinner down nor my breakfast this morning. And I've had on and off periods of nausea and my stomach feels weird and makes really loud noises. My dad thinks that I should go to the doctor because these are "unusual" symptoms but the flu has been going around our school, only I don't have a fever or anything. And do you think people will make fun of me for throwing up? They didn't see me throw up but I some got on my shirt and had to walk back into class covered in barf... I was so embarrassed. So are these symptoms normal and do you think that people will make fun of me? Thanks in advance

Hi, so I'm 13, 5'5, and weigh 105 lbs. I really want to loose some thigh fat, so I have started running 2 miles a day (a 17 min run or so). I've been doing this for 4 days and I know that there are no immediate results but how long will it take to loose around 5 or 10 pounds? And any other exercises? I'm really busy so I only have time for a short run each day but some other exercises would be great too! Thanks!
