What's wrong with me? Why am I acting like this?
So. I'm 15. I'm going to be 16 on friday January 9th. for the past 10 months, I've been involved in a situation about my friend. Her parents are divorced, And she was suicidal when this first began. After I talked to her for a couple of months, she stopped being suicidal, saying she couldn't believe she acted like that. She's very happy that I'm her friend, and she likes that I am here for her to talk to. My friend isn't my problem, I actually enjoy her company, and helping her out. But her Brother used to be my friend back in 8th grade and half of 9th grade, After my friend asked me for help, and we started to really get to know each other, her brother got jelous and refused to talk to me. I was really upset over summer about that because I felt like it was my fault, And so when school started I went and talked to him about it, and we became friends again. So then one day at lunch a bunch of my friends were randomly talking about who they would kill if they could don't ask I don't know how we got talking about that And I told my one friend who I've been talking to about this situation that I'd wish my best friend's mom was dead. my friend said " I bet insert best friend's brothers name here would agree with you" I said " I bet not" and I had her walk over to him and I asked him " Who do you like better your mom or your dad?" and he picked his mom. Since then me and him just decided that we wern't going to talk to each other I guess. So anyway. Me and my best friend, when we are at each other's houses, we will normally just both sleep on the couch, because the floor is really cold My couch is my bed, it's a futon . So normally my friend has a really hard time getting to sleep, because she's scared. So normally I will hug her for a while until she feels better, Or until she falls asleep. On another note though, Since me and her brother stopped talking, whenever I come over, His mother will send him to spy on me and his sister when we are sleeping. Or she will spy herself, and they will come into the basement like 20 times during the day when I'm there. Anyway, One night, when I was over at her house I was hugging my best friend, she was crying and she was really upset about something her mom did, And we both ended up falling asleep. So I guess her brother saw us like that, then proceeded to tell his mom that I'm gay and that me and my friend have sex all the time. Of couse, his mom was dumb enough to believe it, so Now she won't let my friend come over and her claim is that I'm gay. I'm not gay, lesbian, Bi sexual or any of that crap. I'm straight. I don't care if people are any of those things, that's what they want to be, but don't call me gay if i'm not. And about a month ago The weekend that my friend got out of the looney bin her mother put her in because CPS was coming I went up to her mom nicely and asked if my friend could come over on the weekend of my birthday this weekend and she said my friend could not come the whole weekend, but for one day, So I said I would like her to come over on saturday. Her mom told me that is was fine. So last week when my friend tried to come over because my 4 younger siblings wern't here which like never happenes her mom said no, and when she asked about this coming weekend, her mom said no, even though a month ago she said yes to me. So we are going to ask again and have my mum talk to her mom about that.... But anyway, so I've been feeling really angry and depressed over all that stuff her mom and her brother have said and do. Then, if that wasn't enough. On the same day her mom said she couldn't come over, her dad and his girlfriend Who's been fighting for costody of my friend decided to tell me that they give up, and that they are not going to fight for my friend anymore, they think thier relationship is more important. So I told her dad and his girlfriend to no longer have any contact with me, and that I will refuse thier calls and thier e mails because I'm sick and tired of this whole " Up then Down" bullcrap. Pick a side and stick to it. So then...I had the miserable task of telling my friend that her dad is not going to help her anymore, while she was at my house, she tried to push it off and pretend like she wasn't upset, But she told me she was very upset. But anyway....So lately I've been feeling weird. I'm always tired, but I can't make myself sleep, and I don't really want to sleep either. Whenever I go to bed I am afraid I will not wake up. When it's time to eat, I tell someone to force me to eat, otherwise I won't. When I do eat, I don't pay attention to the fact I'm eating till I'm halfway through my meal, and then I suddenly I don't want to eat anymore, or I think I'm full. I'm hungry....but I don't really want to eat. And the weridest of all....lately I've had a strange feeling to cause harm to myself. mostly I've wanted to cut myself. When I'm in the bathroom I think about getting the razor and cutting my legs or arms with it. When I'm iMy whole thing with spending time away from her is, I don't really want to. I mean when I'm upset, she'll give me a hug and let me cry and such. She aucutally comforts me when I'm feeling down. in two years when I graduate we plan on trying to buy an apartment together

How do I convince my mom to let me move somewhere so i can persue acting?
I live in a small town in New England and there isn't any acting oppourtunities here. I have a lot of talent in acting. I'm not trying to brag, it's just a lot of people have said I do. I hate my school now too, so going to a new school would be awesome. My mom said I should wait till I am 18, but If i wait until I am 18 then I won't have another carreer to fall back on. Please help I have been in about 45 50 plays over the years. I have lots of experience. I have been acting since I was 5. There is not really much community theater that isn't musicals around me. I don't want to do musicals tho. I want an agent, but my mom and I thought u had to pay money up front. So I'll have to explain to her about that whole 10% thing.

Why is my sister acting this way? Can she control it or not?
Ok my family moves around a lot and my sister has a naturally not very outgoing personality. She has a hard time adjusting to new situations and especially making friends...she has never had a lot of friends she's 11 . She gets really angry really fast and tries to blame everything in life on my mom and it makes my mom miserable...we have no control over moving and she hates to think that she is making my sister that way. My sister just loses her head and goes absolutely insane. Then in the morning when it's time for school, she refuses to get out of bed...my mom cannot physically make her get up so she misses school. And she does this day after day and my mom can't make her...she can't just drag her out of bed And my sister is really smart, especially with math...she plays 2 sports and is taking 3 languages... but she is sooooo antisocial. I hate to say that as I know that disorder actually involves violence but she is not social at all...and doesn't get along with people. It's like she feels like she is too good for them and that nothing anyone does is good enough for her.Please help I hate seeing her this way Thanks
