This is a serious issue in real life. My mom is thinking about moving to a 1 room apartment, which is not what I want. Currently I live in house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I accidentally busted a whole in the wall. She says "You don't appreciate the amount of hours I work my ass off to pay this house" which is the exact opposite and I truly do. She says the house will be sold by summer and she might sell it next week. I don't want to move away, I will lose all of my IRL friends, I will miss my school, she really doesn't understand how hard it is to make friends, and after making a good amount within 3-4 months of school, I will probably lose them all. Once I move I will feel alone, and I will be very uncomfortable and alone in wherever I am moving to and it will be hard to gain new friends since no one will know who I am, and I've only lived at where I am now for 2 years. She says that she has made up her mind, how can I convince her and change her mind from not being able to move? Is there anything I can do? (I don't know why I am posting this here, it's probably gonna be flooded by "Post a picture of yourself" or something like that.)
there's 2 ways to look at it 1. moving as a good thing 2. taking actions -- so for 1 you could take moving as a good thing, even if you have a lot of friends here right now moving is a great opportunity to have more, have more fun, and improve socially. you can practice your way of developing friendships and relationships, and who knows, maybe it could just end up resulting in something really great -- for 2 maybe moving still doesn't seem like an option just do what @girls1 did. tell the truth about what happened first, apologize, and try to make it up to her. try explaining exactly how you feel about the whole situation to your mom, she should understand or maybe what she's doing is for the good.
I did. Once I got home from school she immediately demanded me to explain to her what happened. Also I told her I would do anything to keep living there but she said she'll think about it.
I would make a sincere apology, here's my recipe: Throw in a little weeping to the family cauldron, Add a pinch of "I didn't mean it", "Sorry", and, most importantly, some "You know I love you"'s, Add a ton of points, And tell her thanks and/or plays no matter what she says. If this is ineffective, then cry in your room. She'll hear you... eventually. I'm so sorry. I move a ton, and I really take it lightly. You will make friends soon, as I made my BFFS in the first 15 minutes. School work isn't a problem. It's just hard to accept. It is.
It's also a financial problem. I need to be able to get my own job but I'm under aged and I need to help mom pay her bills per month so I can stay. Any suggestions? My mom won't be able to pay me, I'm a single child with only my grandma and mom.
I'm sorry to hear what you've been going through. I really am. I wish I could do something to help. All I can suggest is to talk to your mother about it. Tell her how you feel. You stated that you'd miss your friends, it would be extremely difficult to make new friends, it would make you feel alone... You must tell her that. I know what you mean, it's extremely hard to understand what the parent's child is going through, but we understand. I know this might not be too much to offer, and I'm sorry about that, and I really feel for you... But just know that we're all here for you, and we'll all be glad to talk anytime you need us. I'll be praying for you, and if you'd like to talk about anything else, please, feel free to PM me. We all hope that things will get better soon for you.
