writes:My life is a mess and i would like for things to change. I dont have a good relationship with my mother. My mother is against my father but i can communicate with my father even though sometimes i dont agree with his life choices. My father makes a lot of bad decision he has so many debts, he is a free talker. He shares some of the most valuable information with people he dont really know. He has no close friends. He is a teacher and drives taxi after school for extra cash. My dad works at one of the schools considered poor in my community. He chose to stay there so i could say he doesnt care what other people say. Though he is considered one of the best teachers by the students, the principle of the school doesnt like him. The principle tried to transfer my dad to another school so my dad to legal action and the principal's plan failed. Now the principal hates him more. I'm so embarrased now. I dont know how to stand up for my dad in front of my friends and the community. I wish my dad made better decisions like act more like a teacher than a taxi driver. I tried talking to him in the past and nothing has worked. He listens to no one not even my mom. Well, my mom is quite a difficult person. Growing up ive been critised, discriminated, made fun of because of my weight some would classify me as ugly. I was not the popular girl so i had a very low self esteem. Im still working on my self esteem now building my confidence. Now people are starting to see me as pretty. Well its because i went to a dermatologist to fix the acne that was destroying my skin. Ive been betrayed by friends, boyfriends and people i loved before. So now i dont know a better feeling than hate. My dad is well known here so everybody knows about his troubles with the principal.. I'm doing my first year in science course so i think now science will not defend me in my life problems so i think maybe commerce will do. If i could change to commerce next year. Has anyone been in the same situation? I dont have anyone to talk to and i dont know what to do. Thank you for your time.

hi. I know it all seems bad. But really. A lot of people go through this. One important thing you need to remember is that you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. What you can do is be there when they need it. And as for your parents. I know they are you parents and you want to help them n all but you need to understand that they are individuals & they are responsible for their own decisions. There's only so much you can do for them. They have to help themselves. I don't know about changing your fields. That's entirely upto you. I don't really understand in what way you are thinking.
But good luck
