Don't worry, the nervous breakdown you are going to have will explain it all!!
Reply:This could backfire on you, but 'pass out' one day. It'll scare 'em all to death.
Reply:I know that is probably feels like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders but all of this is just making you a better and stronger person.You are a teenager now and with age comes responsibility.As you get older there is going to be more responsibility. When I was your age many years ago I felt the same way but as I got older I realized that my parents were doing these things for my own good.It made me a better person.You will grow up to be a responsible adult.you will be a productive member society.Just hang in there and do the best you can do.You should be very proud of yourself.
Reply:First warn them that you haven't been sleeping well and you're becoming anemic again, then let them all oversleep one morning. Maybe 2, if they don't get it the first time. It's ridiculous for you to have to assume the responsibility of getting your whole family out of bed in the morning. Try talking to each of your brothers individually about getting the other 2 off your back, like you're taking only that one into your confidence--divide and conquer, y'know? You may have to forget about the guy you like until you get your papers written and your room cleaned but he'll still be there. And medicine won't do much for a cold, so you'll just have to wait that one out. Drink plenty of juice. Can't help you with your sports team. Just ask you mom how she expects you to come up with the money. Good luck.
