That...is a tough situation. I guess you're going to have to figure that one out. But your mom is going to have to learn that "I don't want to talk about it" means the topic is off limits, so if you're strict with her, she'll get the message. :[
Oh noez. I hope everything starts looking up for you. *sends luck fairy* And hopefully Mister Creeper finally takes a hint and takes a hike. 'Cause he sounds creepy. ^^;
I don't think it makes you immature to not want to hear that -- nobody wants to hear bad things about themselves. It's only natural. Maybe someone who was exceptionally mature could take that with grace, but, I think it's folly to assume that immature and exceptionally mature are the only states of maturity.
Jobs are probably difficult to find right now because (a) the economy and (b) students are still in town for school... :[
A lot of people never change their Facebook relationship status for exactly that reason. I think if you don't have romantic feelings for him, or if you really have them for someone else more, you probably should tell him. :[ It might be difficult, but it'll be much less difficult in the long run than living with knowing you have to tell him at some point.
And, omg, creepy stalker. Just block him on Facebook and everything else. I did that to someone once.
I guess what's frustrating is that I used to be able to talk to my mom about everything, but I'm still coming to terms with the fact that there are some things she's just never going to understand. And it upsets me because....so many other people have parents who are so much less understanding, but....I'm stuck in the one situation she can't get. I know this is pretty vague. DX But...I tried explaining that I have to think about things differently because I rarely get....strong, decisive feelings for people...I mean, I like Joe a lot as a friend and a person and I think I was really flattered that he was the first person in my life to ask me out (stalker doesn't count) and he'd go out of his way to do stuff for me. Take me out for food and movies and stuff. But as much as I enjoy being with him I couldn't see things getting physical at all....and my mom said it must be because I'm "not mature enough for that kind of intimacy" or because I have "body image issues
( ... )
Ohhh, I see... yeah... I don't know. I guess it's difficult to understand something like that from a parent's point of view, because it's probably hard to come to terms with the fact that your babies grow up into sexually mature people in the first place -- it must be hard to have to deal with unlearning it as well. But it's really unfortunate that that's the case...
I miss you, too~! Actually Max is here on break now, I don't know about Becca, I'm on break this week too but I live in Watertown now so it's ultra-close by, so... yeah, we need to all hang out~
