What are you?- are you jerking off? Oh honey, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Mom! Stop watching! Go away
I'm sorry if it looked like I was prying, honey. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Why don't we talk about what's going on? Maybe I can help you feel better.
You know you can always come to me, sweetie. I may not understand everything that's going on in your life right now, but I love you and will do whatever I can to help. Why don't we sit down together and discuss what might be bothering you?
I'm fine mom, really. Can you just leave me alone?
I can see that you're upset, but please know that I am here for you no matter what. You don't have to face this alone. Remember when you were younger and fell off your bike? How I held your hand and made it all better? Well, that's exactly how I feel about this situation too. Please let me help you, sweetie.
Fine. How are you able to help me then?
That's a good question, honey. I could try to talk to your father about it if you think that would be helpful. Or maybe there's someone at school or church who could offer some advice? Let's brainstorm together and figure out the best course of action.
Why don't you tell me more about what's been going on in your life recently? Is there anyone in particular that has been making things difficult for you? It's important to identify the root of the problem so we can find the best solution.
There is this one girl in my class that has been really mean to me lately...she spread rumors about me and I didn't know how to stop her. And it feels like everyone believes her.
It's understandable that you're upset about the situation with the girl at school. Bullying can be hurtful and difficult to deal with, but we need to address it head-on. We should talk to your teacher or principal together and see what they recommend. Maybe even approach the girl directly if you feel comfortable doing so? Remember, communication is key in resolving conflicts like these.
I guess...but you know what would really help me mom?
Honey, I'm here to listen and support you no matter what you need. Please tell me how I can help make things better for you.
