12 years old is a very tender age. Your body is going through tons of changes right now. Your emotions are crazy and out of wack because your body is transitioning into womanhood. If you have not already, you will probably be starting your period soon and that will make things very crazy for you! LOL. Welcome to being a woman! It sucks sometimes!
You do love your parents, and everyone feels sometimes mad or angry with people, like do I really love them? Of corse you do, so dont beat yourself up about that! As for hating the beach, but not wanting to come home... been there too! You werent having a good time, but you didnt want to come back to your boring old life at home right?! Thats not unusual!
As far as the sex dreams, the older you get the more curious you will become. Remember, that though these dreams are normal and okay, you are still young so acting on them or wanting to experiement at this age is not a good idea. Your hormones are probably going a little bit wacky right now causing you to dream this way. Its also part of transitioning into an adult woman. Dont worry about it. You are completely normal! Relax and enjoy being a child as long as you can! It goes by wayyyyyy to fast!

You are at a very awkward stage in your life at 12, and a lot of things may seem confusing. Are you with your parents most of the time? You might be feeling like you don't want to go to them because you are around them so much and sometimes people just want to get away from seeing the same people all the time. Just keep reminding yourself that your parents gave you life and that's why you have everything you have. Plus, try to remember that you are lucky enough to have both parents or any parents at all! And yes, you are at the age where your hormones are starting to kick in, and it is very normal to have dreams about sex.
P.S. I wouldn't just put out on the internet that you are 12. It isn't safe.

Yes, having dreams about sex is normal. You are just at the peak around becoming a teenager. If you didnt start your period, you may start it here shortly. You are just curious, thats all. Nothing to be worried about. You may feel guilty for having these dreams/thoughts that are sexual, and that may cause you to feel ashamed in front of your parents. Also around your age is when you want to drift apart from your parents and adventure on your own. That also is normal. You want to be independent, do your own thing without having your parents holding your hand. As far as feeling like you dont love your parents, that may because of your hormones. Everything they say you will more than likely disagree, wait till your around the age of 16. Its going to get worse. Your going to hate your parents one minute, and love them the next. Raging hormones is what they call it. lol, trust me, ive been through it, and still going through it and Im 18! No matter what, always stay close to your mom. Even though sometimes you may feel like shes the enemy and she hates you, thats definetely not true. Always tell her everything on your mind, that way she could help you understand things better. Becoming a women its very new to you it seems. If you cant talk to your mom about certain things like sex, it may be embarassing, talk to someone else. Like an aunt. I would never talk to my mom about sex, but I did talk to my aunt. Just remember this...listening and hearing things from other kids at your school is not the correct information. So dont listen to that, talk to someone who is older and you are close to. They will give you the best advice you need.

Hi Rose! Yes, sex dreams are normal – not wanting to go home after being on a trip is okay, too! Feeling bad about yourself and confused is also very much a 'normal' thing for a person of 12. You can work it out! Something you should be aware of is this: After seeing my mom die of being on 16 different PRESCRIBED anti-depressants - some to counter the effects the OTHER drugs were having ... and seeing some of my best friends get hooked on the crap, I'd like to share this link with you so you can enlighten yourself without the pressure of a 'paid' doctor to get on to some miracle-pill that WON'T work or 'fix' your life (paste this into your address bar: http://www.cchr.org/#/solutions-alternatives/solut... Scroll down and look at the suggestions. Now, there are outreach groups that are helping people get off these drugs but your Dr won't tell you that they exist as he won't get his big bonus if he does. Also, an awesome book I saw this last week at Barnes & Nobel is called "Our Daily Meds" by Melody Petersen, a NY Times journalist who won awards for this book - check it out. Also exercise - get into Karate or some self-control/discipline-type thing. This guy with crazy voices and other such stuff got into Tae-Kwon-Do and worked himself back to sanity! But the LAST thing you should do to yourself is drug it up or worry! Good Luck!

It's not uncommon for a pre teen or teen have feelings that are
conflicting/ hard to understand. Your body is still developing
which includes your mind and sometimes you may feel and
think in ways you do not want to nor understand from time
to time.
Share your thoughts with your mom, I am guessing that if you
2 are real close she will understand and may have insight into
how you are feeling.
If you feel like you need further assistance or to talk to someone
start with your school counselor if there is one available.
I hope the best for you. John 17:3/ 1 Peter 5:6,7.

Sweetheart, I am not a psychologist but I went through what you are going through. It is good that you are aware of your emotions and thoughts. You are also nearing or already at the age of puberty so all of these emotions are normal. Puberty sends all kinds of hormones through you that make you feel unsure about yourself. It's just your body trying to regulate itself. You are just growing up hun. It might be helpful for you to keep a diary/journal and write in it every day that you can so that you can let out your frustrations. I don't know if you have a good relationship with your parents or not but talking to them about the way you feel might be helpful. If you don't feel comfortable talking to your mom and dad about the way you've been feeling, find a guidance counselor at your school who you can REALLY trust. They are actually trained on everything you are going through right now he or she can give you really good advice. As for Love, It is not something that turns on and off. You do love your parents whether they are proud of you or not. We all have that love in us no mater what our parents do. They are not perfect all of the time. They have their strengths and weaknesses too but they try to be strong for us so they can teach us right from wrong.
I hope this little list helps out. It helped me:
1. Keep a journal or a daily diary of your emotions and why you feel the way you feel
2. Talk to your parents about how you feel
3. You are not strange. Every thing you are going through your parents went through it too when they were your age
4. Find a guidance counselor you can trust to talk to
5. Have confidence in yourself whether you're right or wrong... everybody makes mistakes even parents...
6. Learn that every mistake you make is a chance to do it better next time.
7. Sex is good and beautiful but it can be very dangerous if you are not educated about it. I am not sure what religion you are a part of so I can only tell you that mostly all religions say you should wait until marriage before having sex. I know that the thoughts are there but remember that your body is just going through the natural motions of preparing your for womanhood. Your body is a temple and you should honor it by keeping it clean. I hope this helps. Good luck hun. You are not alone. Ask your mom to have the "Talk" with you.

First of all, people dream about having sex if they really want to do it! So its kinda normal but its ok! Also, the reason your feeling confused about everything is usually because people don't know themselves but also its probably because you feel as if you need other people to help make your own decisions. You need to go with your heart. i know you probably heard it alot but its true. Dont listen to what other people have to say, if you start making decisions by yourself, it will get easier in the long run!

Sounds like your hormones are beginning to rage. You are at that age where you are going to start pulling away from your parents, but this is a normal process. It makes you wanna be independent.

1) You are paranoid. So am I. See a psychologist.
2) You're 12, which probably means you're going through puberty. Which equals sex dreams
