So Yeah My Mum is not very well (Brain Tumour that is malignent tumour so it means they cant do anything to make it go)
also my dad is eppileptic and he's deaf.
I was wondering does any1 have ill parents and what they do to help.
All i seem to do is just help with the tablets.
And is their any websites maybe to chat to some other people who our like me.

That's a really good site. I've been a member for about a year now, and people are willing to help and what not. And, you might find someones whos going through the same/something similar. ;)

Firstly I would like to say a big well done to you, and I am more than sure your parents and other family members will be so grateful and proud of you that you are being a responsible carer here.
There are several options of support etc. available to you through the government and what not and I think the link already provided will benefit you greatly. :)
Good luck with everything mate.

If you need to talk you can always PM me

I am so sorry to hear of your Mother. Teenhelp is very good. There is also this website that is dedicated to helping cope with a parent who has cancer. Have you got another relative that you could talk to this about as well? Your friends on him are always here to talk to as well :) xox

Your mum and dad must be incredibly proud of you :)
Just help them out yeah, clean the house, offer to do the shopping for them... Just small basic things. Don't do everything for them though as they might feel there independence slipping away, but yeah help them out whenever they need it :)
And well done for coping so well, you are very strong.

Firstly like to say Im very sorry to hear about your Mum. I have no idea what you are going through, but I know it must be extreamly difficult and traumatic.
The only advice I can give you is to use the link provided, and also just try to help with little things around the house, even if it is just tablets.
Your family must be extreamly proud of you, and you have gained mine, aswell as many others respect here on this forum :)

I think you should try contact social workers or something to come help you out because if your under 16 your got GCSEs to think about and thats stressful enough, I hope your mum pulls through and soz about your dad

Your mum and dad are luckey, you have a heart of gold.
Best of luck, and remember love them no matter what.
Sorry to hear about them, my friend has long term illness, he has a seroius learning disability, i mean severe but he remembers everying, if i saw him again for 20 years he would rememeber everything about me.
All the best in the furture.
WOW! I want to shake your hand. Reading your first post has made me appreciate my Mum and Dad more now, good luck in the future.

Sorry to hear what you're going through, but stay strong :( :) I've got an awful lot of respect for you, even though I don't know you at all. I can't really begin to imagine how difficult and upsetting it must be to have to look after your parents. If you ever need any help, you can PM me and I'll talk to you. All your family should be very proud of how caring and responsible you are.
Importantly, make sure that this does not stop you getting a full education - I'm sure your parents would like it if you were hurting your future. Make sure you visit the earlier mentioned sites, and speak to Connexions and social services about getting help :)

I'm really sorry about the situation your in, you're very strong.
I have a disabled mum, but it's not very severe.
I hope everythings okay.
yeh gl man hope they both get well
Im sorry to hear that. And as everyone has been saying youre pretty strong to cope so well.
Just make sure you know about the services available to you, so if you need them you can get them. They usually take about 6 weeks to kick in, but they can be alot of help, even if its just they get the shopping for you. :)
Good Luck
