Cutting yourself is not the solution. Ask any relatives if you can stay with them until your parents decide a divorce is good. If that doesn't work, let your parents kno how you feel, tell them u want to run away because their craziness has brought u to the edge. My parents fought but now they are divorced. All i can say is they are heading straight for a divorce and i think that's a very good thing.

I'm a moderately happy person. I'm in love, I have really supportive friends, and I have great artistic outlets for my emotions, but for some reason I keep having these reoccurring thoughts of suicide. Every time I sit by my window I think of diving headfirst into the driveway three stories below. I don't know what to think of it. Is this normal?

Maybe it is because you either have bad childhood memories there, or you have things building up inside that give you grief.

Listen I don't care what u rate me, I'm here to help you with your problem. I know you wanted some one who has done it before but I haven't. don't worry i know people who have and people who have tred to kill themselves. I'm going to help you. You need to stop because you can die. If you hit a vein u have a pretty good chance of dieing. Not only will you hurt yourself, you will hurt the people who love you. Maybe you should talk to your parents or a councelor.

how do i tell someone that is cutting themselves that what they are doing is very dangerous, without a confrontation?

tell them that if they cut themselves they can die. just by making one mistake like accidently hitting a vein.

alrigty...i have a bad habit with cutting my self..and i need to stop...the only problem is...i dont kno how...my life is kinda shakey now b/c my mom is makin me go live with my aunt 4 good b/c of my "problem" and im doin pretty bad in skool with all the stress thats going on...and that makes more stress and just blah...i mean my friends and my boyfriend HATE the fact that i do it and they give me ideas to stop like squeezing an ice-cube until it melts...but that dont help... and i am in cheerleading an i always have to wear my long sleeve shirt so ppl wont see my arms and be like "shes physco" er suttin...but ne ways..i also have a prob with eating...i mean im not fat and i love food...but it just makes me wanna puke...so idk what to do about that either...so if ne one has ne ideas with how to help me with this stuff...please let me kno!

let your mom know that you love her and all you want is for her to help you and support you no matter what. i think it's wrong that she would leave you with your aunt because she can't handle you.

For the past while i have been cutting myself. At first it was just scratches and then i started cutting deeper and deeper. I am really scared and I don't want to talk to my parents, they have enough to worry about, so is there anyway i can break the habit and just stop...and please don't answer if you are just going to poke fun at me and mock me. I don't need that. Only post if you can help me.

you have to tell your parents. tell them u need help. one mistake like hitting a vein or something and you could die. your parents are never too busy for you.

I'm not supposed to know about this, but one of my friends is having these really disturbing dreams, just really disturbing, scary stuff that seems outta horror movie...Thing is they happen when she's awake, like, when she closes her eyes...And they're out of control. I mean, I know everyone gets weird images sometimes in their brain when they close their eyes, but this is definately beyond normal.
She has said that if they continue past New Years she will see a therapist, so I'm not asking for what to do, I know perfectly well how to handle it if she doesn't take the bull by the horns, but what I want to know is if there is an actual medical condition associated with these symptoms..I've heard of them before.
Also, I've got another friend who says these weird things that don't make any sense, like she says stuff happened that's totally outrageous, and then someone disproves it, and she still says they happened...And everyone accuses her of lying, but it just really seems lik she BELEIVES these things have happened to her! Is there a medical condition with this symptom, in which the victim creates excessive memories that never happened?

i would hate to say this, it really hurts to but sometimes these symptoms meen she is going to die, or she wants to die.

I really need some help. For the past almost 6 years of my life, i have been looking at porno. I am addicted. It is literally ruining my life. It takes time away from my hobbies, my family, and my relationship with God. Can someone please advise me on how to stop this addiction? Please dont ban this question either. I truely need help

stay away from your computer. try to get pre-occupied in your looks or something. anything different than that! say some prayers every night.

I cut. But not like most people. My arms aren't coverd nor my legs. I have scars on my thighs, ankles and wrist. I've recently taken to cuttin my shoulder. my parents know and found them. They know check every so often for blood or anything. they took all my pointy objects away but i still have a knife. they wont let me get cousling or anything because they think its bad for teens to go on meds. i cant go to my schoo counsler because-well if you knew him you wouldnt. Anyways, there are peole with bigger problems then me that need the help. my life is perfect. I have horses. i ride. i get w/e i want. Im spoiled. my parents r nice n everything unlike my friends who r abused/assulted. yet i always feel so depressed. like i cant pull myself out. i constantly cry and hide most of my feeling until i can hide to cut. i dont partically like people knowing but people find out n i dont like being known as a cutter. i get straight a's n im the good kid. least u use to be. now im this depressed, mean, cutter lil freshmen. this isnt who i wanna be. help. oh right..14 female.

cutting is a hard habbit to get out of.you can seriously get hurt, even die. it's scary. there is obviously something missing in your life if u feel depressed. i kno every one is probably saying this but if u need help i'm always here.

Im 13 years old and I just started jr. high. I'm in the 7th grade. The problem is that I have no friends and I don't know how to make any. I've tried to be social, but no one seems to want to talk to me. I'm in all honors classes, and the girls in the honors classes are all rich and white and popular. I don't really like them anyway, but i have every class with them. Thankfully, i have 1 really good friend I met this year. She dosnt have friends, either. How can I make friends? I want to be the popular girl i was in elementary.

try going out for alot of sports. really girly sports. what ever you do, don't make friends with people who seem like trouble cause that will cause problems.

ok, on dec 22 this guy whom i liked gave me a ring. after skool that day, we started going out. we go places after skool and talk on the phone all the time and we're going to the mall tomorrow (tuesday)...but i still feel kinda distant from him...like on the phone there's long silences.how can i make it so that i don't feel like that without telling him i feel like that?*kinda confuszing but plz help!*

maybe you could ask him how he feels about your relationship.if u don't get anywhere with it, i think it is best you break-up.

[view]


my best friend likes me and he asked me if i want to go out.What should i say?

you should tell him that you love him, but like a brother. tell him you would feel uncomfortable around him.

Hello. Um, I have a problem with this guy who lives in my neighborhood. Everyday he harasses me sexually. I've tried telling the police, but they said without hard evidence they couldn't do anything. I'm sort of a feminist, so something like this shouldn't be a problem for me. But, I'm too afraid to tell my friends or family. I'm 16 and he's like, 25. So, I know it's illegal.
What should I do?

if i were you, i would get a video tape, hide it somewhere, go outside and wait. take your evidence to the police. you absolutely have to tell ur family things like this are important.

hey guys it is funkyfresh.. i give advice but now i need some bad! well okay.. there is this guy matt k and a guy matt n (best friends scary i kno) they both like me (even scarier!) and i dont go to the same school as either of them! i have mixed feelings and have no ideas on what to do! any advice!
((x o ♥ Michelle))

well this might sound stupid and messed up but maybe you should try going out with both of them. see what happens.

what are signs that you are pregnant?

well your boobs will get bigger and hurt, you will get moody, and your stomach will most probably hurt.

okay i've been telling this guy i like him and he's been showing interest! one of my good friend's says he likes me because well she talked to him! and everyone in my class is telling me that he likes me! we are talking more and i aam getting to know him better! any ideas for him and i to move forward and maybe move into a relationship?! people say i flirt like crazy and especially him! what else can i do?!

maybe you should wait for a special ocassion to ask him out. don't worry, guys suffer just as much as girls do to be asked out.

I have been having this problem for quite sometime. I am a cutter. And i can't really stop. I have been going to counseling and I had been taken off antidepressants. My mood hasnt gotten any better, it feels alittle worse. Parents are no help, my dad thinks that I am doing this for attention and he yelled and screamed at me saying that I am faking everything and its just a waste of money to keep the counseling going. So now, I am not in that anymore. I feel terrible, worse possibly. And my freind who I have known since the second grade is going through problems, she is cutting herself and trying to kill herself. I have been trying to give her advice but, how do I give advice to someone who is doing the same things as me? I need some major help and someone to talk to.

well it looks like you have a serious problem. i have this friend whos best friend was also a cutter and she accidently hit a vein one day and almost died.u definately don't want that to happen. now my best friend resently last year had told me she was going to kill herself. she has tried to kill herself a coulple of times also.i helped her get through what she was going through, so maybe all you need is a new friend. some one with no problems at all. talk to her, ask her for advice. if you can't find a friend trust-worthy enough i'm always here to help you back out of doing something you'll regret.

i have been dating this guy for 5 months. when he's not around, i miss him to death.. but when he's around, he drives me nuts. it seems like he wants me to do stuff with him .. and i do. when we're done doing whatever, he just leaves! i don't know what to say to him! will someone please help me.

ok, maybe its time to brake up with your boyfriend. there is obviously no heat between u two and it's time to move on. be careful with your choice of words because u don't want to get him angry and push him to the edge and make him do something crazy.
