Are there things you can do that would take you out of your head for awhile? Do you like to read? Movies and books are wonderful escapes. And a library is a great place to get away from it all. Are there crafts you like to do? I use crayons and colored pencils and after awhile, I can feel the stress just fading away. Do you have a bike? Excercise and getting out of the house and away from the tension at the same time. Or try going to the park and laying under a tree and watch the clouds.

Maybe some of these things would help and I'm sure you can think of others. Getting out of the house might help you shed some of the anger and maybe your Mom and her boyfriend need some alone time to help get rid of some of their stress as well.

As far as friends go-sometimes all you have to do is say hi and a conversation begins. Look at the friends you are making here!
