im told not to tell a soul because its getting somewhat taken care of. so il ask un-named. my bff is very badly depressed bc her moms boyfriend abused her so she told her mom after a while and he killed her mom and he went to jail which was a little over a year ago. now she lives with her grandparents. her grandpa is very bad bipolar and abuses her as well but only her none of her younger siblings. today she finally told me about what her grandpa does and showed me her new bruise which is very bad, it is like right on under her breast an its bloody red and very swollen and stuff she wont even put anything on it because its swollen and itd make it bigger. still which happend two days ago it even ripped her shirt. this weekend he is going to treatment for bipolar so she is running away and staying with a certain friend because he will be very bad. he is also their only source of income since the grandma cant work so if he goes they go homeless. hes going into treatment so it will maybe get better and if she gets taken away hed probly go for her little siblings so she wants to stay and take it for them. she also has anger management problems and depression so shes very agressive to people but i dont blame her. what can i do? any advice on any of this and as much advice as possible?! its getting better so i am not telling. im almost 16 and she is 14 (link)
I think that you should call child protective services or if you are to young to make the call tell a friend,teacher,or family member that you trust so that they can callc cps and all children undrer the age of 18 will be taken away from the home and your friend may even be mad at you for sometime but in the end you will know that you did the right thing and mabey one day sooner or later she will thankyou for being a good frieind to her and looking out for her and making sure she is safe becouse her and her siblings are not safe in the home that they are in and they will be much safer in foster care than where they are now. I hope i have helped you and I will keep you and your friend in my prayere and maybey god wiil also help you and your friend in this situation.

Okay so a year and a half ago I was raped by someone I have known since I was 9 I am now 20. Anyways when people start talking about rape or say rapist or anything sometimes the subject doesnt even have to come up, I start thinking about it and then get in this horrible depression. I am also diagnosed with bi-polar and attending college so it gets really stressful, to the point where I start feeling sucidal and thats not normal. I can't afford my medication i have talked to many counselours but this rape thing really bugs me sometimes, I thought I would be over it by now? Whats going on? (link)
I was molested when I was 3 and sometimes I still have flashbacks even though I may not remember everything but whenever I start thinking why my dad did that to me I get depressed so I understand how you feel if you need somebody to talk to my email is rachel_strickland1989@yahoo.com so feel free to email me if you need somebody to talk to about your feelings.


I'll keep you in my prayeres.


Hey(: My Names Jessica Im 15 & A Sophmore In Highschool(:
Im president of the Breast Cancer Awareness Club at my school. Where I live, they dont let us raise money, ( us as in the school itself). So I need help trying to raise awareness in the school. We just started selling shirts for the club, so we dont need that anymore. It'll be awesome if you could tell me some walkathons that we could attend( I live in miami, fl) and some things we could do by other companys to raise money. Thanks in advance, Jessica(: (link)
why don't you try making a ribbon with the word breast cancer on it and try selling them for a dollar.


ok so im 16 and a female, and my period is supposed to come today, but it didnt. so me and my boyfriend had protected sex for the first time in like four months, and i know im not pregnant. could sex delay my period even longer since i haven't had it in so long and since im not used to it? (link)
How do you know that you are not pregnant just becouse you used a condom dosn't mean the condom didn't break usually if your late on your period if you have had sex of course means your pregnant i'd suggest getting a pregnancy test done just te relive stress.


Okay so will someone please explain what exactly happens when you lose your virginity? i am very comfortable with my body and i have hooked up with people but never all the way yet. i know about hymen sort of but where is it excatly? when i feel around it seems like i don't have one or am not a virgin. how can i tell? help? (link)
If you had sexual intercourse not oral, fingering,anal maturbrating ext. actual sexual intercourse your no longer a virgin but if you havn't had sex your still a virgin.

I want to have a pet. I'm not talking about cats or dogs though. I would like a small pet that can be kept in a cage. My parents are divorced and I spend one weekend a month with my dad and would want to take the pet with me.

I'd like a fairly intelligent pet. Something that isn't too smelly would be nice. I have heard things about Chinchillas being cute but I have read plenty of times that they are very fragile. I don't want a fragile pet. Cute isn't REALLY important though.

I can do a few hours of maintenance a day with the pet so if it needs walks or playtime that is just fine with me. A friendly animal would be nice...something that could get used to being held sometimes.

My best friend suggested getting a rat but I'm not sure. What would you suggest? (link)
you could get a parakeet,cocatoo, gerbil, goldfish, chicks, rabbit,hamster,snake,parrot,or a lizard.


14/f almost 15

I've been cutting since I was in 8th grade. I'm going to be a sophomore. I hid it from my parents forever. A couple months ago I like had some weird panic attack or breakdown or something. I was crying like almost screaming. My brother came knocking on the door asking if I was ok. Then my dad started banging on it and almost broke the door down and I was screaming, "OK I'll open it!" I did and my dad grabbed me and looked at me. I was all cut up. I mean my thighs and my arms were horrible. Then he took me out to my mom and they both were screaming at me. I wasn't still bleeding so they didn't want me to the hospital.

Before that I was crying to my friend on the phone. She ended up coming over begging my dad to let her see me.

My dad took everything away from me. My phone, my computer, my mp3. He even took away my church and wanted to keep me away from my friend that came to help me. He hates her. And doesn't want me to have anything to do with her.

I don't understand. I don't know what to do at this point. They expected me to stop after all that. Like taking my stuff away is gonna help. Not seeing anybody for the whole summer?!

What am I supposed to do? I cut myself before because of everything. To be honest I didn't hate my life. I just mostly hated myself. I thought I was ugly, fat, stupid, ect. I know I'm not but I made myself believe it. Because that's what my parents told me. It made me feel horrible. Then my mom had drinking problems going on. My brother was stealing things and I was failing a couple subjects in school and...it just came along to me.

My dad thought I was suicidal. When he was yelling at me he mentioned that he would help me kill myself because he doesn't care if I was dead because if I'm gonna do this to our family it was my choice. Then in another lecture he said the same thing.

Now all I do is cry every night. That's not what I want. Really. All I have is my friends. I actually have time to get on the computer when my parents are at work. So I always wondered what happened to unconditional love. That night when he was talking to me he told me I could tell him any problems that are going on. How am I supposed to tell him anything when he just tells me its ok to die. He mostly said "yeah I would be upset later on but I would realize that's what she wanted anyways" This makes me feel so bad.

Anyways, they just... I just don't know what to do at this point. My friend told me she went through the same thing but her parents got her help. I was told I had depression. It makes sense but I just haven't really talk to anyone about this except my friends.

I know my dad cares...sorta. I thought he did but after hearing that he would be ok if I was dead then it makes me not care about him anymore.

I just keep getting made fun of in my family. My mom calls me bad. My dad calls me stupid, crazy, and once, he called me a zombie. This doesn't make me feel great.

Anybody know what I can do? (link)
Iam so sorry tat your parents do not seem to want to help you with this problem if this helps I looked up some ways to stop cutting yourself on the internet and here they are:

Talk to a friend,parent, or other family member to help you. you could try using a rubber band by snapping it on your wrist ( don't intentionally bruise your arm with it). write what you are feeling down in your diary. Iam sorry that I looked it up but I wouldn't have been able to help you other wise. I will keep you in my prayers.


I'm stuck home this weekend all alone and I'm so bored. My parents went on a business trip and they let me stay home but there's nothing to do! I really don't feel like going out either because I'm on my period and I'm tired a lot. Is there anything fun to do without leaving the house? I thought maybe some sort of neat free internet game or something? I can't think of anything. I don't know...

ideas? (link)
oh my god! I wish I could be you right now my parents wouldn't let me do that in a million years lol anyways you could go to www.neopets.com or play games on yahoo.


Ok, so I am trying EVERYTHING! I do mean everything to calm this little boy that I babysit down! He is 3 years old and autistic! I have never heard a boy scream so loud! Well anyways, do you have any tips to calm him down??? Thanks! By the way, I babysit him every day of the week except Sundays from 12:00 noon to 7:30pm! Help! (link)
my cousin is 18 years old and he's autistic but barney calms him down try putting in a barney movie for him mabey that will calm him down.


I was diagnosed with this when i was in second grade and put on rideline for about a year and havent taken anything for it since. But lately ive been having alot of trouble concentrating and studying, im now 19. Would i have to see some kind of shrink to get a perscription for some kind of ADD medicine? Or since i did when i was little, could i just get a perscription from a regular doctor? (link)
I have attention deficit disorder also and I get my adderal which is a type of medicine for add and I just go to my regular doctor.


My friend's 17, f. She hasn't had her period since October 25.. it's now December 8. She's thinking she may have missed her period cause she's been stressing herself out thinking she's pregnant. I'm leaning more towards pregnancy, could she be pregnant? (link)
If she's had sex there's a possiblity that she could be pregnant. If I were you I would tell your friend to try to calm down becouse if she is pregnant the stress she is feeling isn't good for the baby and to go take a pregnancy test but if she hasn't had sex she could just be under alot stress becouse being stressed out can cause your period to go out of wack. I hope i've helped.


ok well for the past few months i have had an itch and burn in the area down there. i am still a virgin. i do not feel comfortable telling any1 in my family so idk wut do to. idk wut it is to please help thank you (link)
If your a female it could be a yeast infection.


I'm 16 & just got my first cell phone about a month or so ago. My mother just got the first bill, and I went over everything {text, minutes, & data} and she has to pay a $212 phone bill for me. She said she wasn't going to take my phone away THIS time. The problem is my bill cycle JUST started over and I'm already over everything again. How do I find a way to pay for this? And how do I approach my mom? (link)
If you have a contract plan i would suggest you cancel it and get a prepaid plan.

I need a good job, nothing fancy. But something that can work around school. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also i know its kinda a lot to ask but not work really late hours. I think that i need to really help my mom out with the bills. Or just pay for my own stuff myself.
Help!

2. house cleaning
3. dog walking
4 If you are good in school you could be a tutor.

I'd just like to know if anyone knows a place where i could work...THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!!! (link)
