Dear Agony Bunny,
My mum never speaks to me and if i speak to her she ends up shouting/swearing at me. once or twice i accidentaly wound her up so much she even hit me. She spends all her time with her boyfriend and i am always really depressed. am i being neglected?

Dear friend,
This is common with the kids of this generation. In a survey of 1000 kids, 356 kids said that they felt neglected by their parents. Well talking about your relationship with your mom, she has her life and she wants to have fun as well. Make sure you never come in her way and become self dependant in terms of doing your stuff. Take up a hobby and invest your time nurturing it. Sooner or later, she will understand that you are an integral part of her life and she will shower you with attention as well as affection.
