I just want my family to screw off and leave me alone!

So I'm 14 years old and I'm an only child. So that means I have no cool brothers or sisters to go to the mall with. If there are no friends available, I go with my mom. And I go with my mom to a lot of places, simply because I have no one else to go with. I find it embarassing seeing all these kids my age hanging out at Wal-Mart on their skateboards in big groups while I'm carrying groceries with my mom. Does anyone else feel this way or get stuck in this situation!? Or am I overreacting!?

haah, I can relate except
it's usually my dad.
Lawlz.

haha. you think brothers and sisters are cool and will take you to the mall? thats funny. no that kind of thing usaully doesn't happen. your overreacting. you don't have to go with your mom. and if you did have brothers and sisters you would be embarassed hanging out with them too little sibblings are annoying and clingy. and older sibblings are overprotective and they bully a lot. think of it this way you get more material things because you are a single child. you could just get more friends. or go to the park or whatever by yourself trying to find more friends.

there are a lot of teens that have the same prob. like ots really hot where I live and my mom wants to go swimming and so do I but we don't have our own pool. so we went to the public pool. I just want to hang out with my friends there but none of them where avaliable. so there was this hot guy there and my mom was like a geek shadow kinda and this guy just looked and laughed I felt bad inside but I can't break it to my mom.

well yh I hang out with my friends and I love skateboarding but you get in trouble when you do it in stores lol big trouble and I still hang out with my mom and dad and they are embarrassing I mean we walk in to a store and they just act immature even at home me and my friends act immature to but were young haha im 14 I have friends I hang out with thats 15 16 and 14

but theres always time for your mom and dad

just tell them your need time to be by urself and just got out and have funn

cool siblings!!! You are kidding, right?
Be thankful that you're an only child. And just ask you're parents if you can have some time to yourself.
I asked mine and they actually respect my privacy 1% more!

Siblings do not normally want to hang out together. I have 2 older brothers and believe me, I did not want to hang out with them. They were bossy and way over protective. If I even looked at a guy around them they would be like "What are you looking at? Knock it off." And then glare at the guy till they stopped. Now, my brothers are both 6'2" and weigh about 250. One has 22 tattoos and both nipples pierced. They don't exactly look very nice. Not so cool to hang out with.

My mom on the other hand, she was pretty cool and we also did a lot of stuff together and now, I'm glad that we did. She is now in kidney failure and the doctor's are not sure how long her kidneys will last for. Be thankful that you can hang out with her, sure she might not be the coolest person around and sometimes it might be a little embarrasing but, it could be so much worse.

Imagine having to go to Wal Mart with your mom with rollers in her hair and a robe on (this really happened to my friend).

Sometimes brothers and sisters are crappy and so I think it would be cool to be an only child!! No competetion. Make some friends to hang out with and take advantage of your Mom being there for you. a lot of kids would love to have your problem.

im an only child too. and I felt the same way... go out and make friends like at school, but you should still have time for your parents
