mental and physical pain , how should I kill myself ? I am a type 1 diabetic and am sick all the time and afraid of the outside world , I just want to die already ! My friends are dying slowly and painfully of this disease and I don't want to go through it all !!!!!!!!!How do I die quickly ? (link)
I know you feel lost right now, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. you have so much to live for. take a deep breath and imagine how happy you would be if you decided not to take your own life and decided to live for the beauty of being alive. there are always going to be problems or flaws in everyone's lifetime, but wouldn't it be amazing if YOU were the strong, courageous one? the person who never gave up and looked fear in the face and said "om not afraid of you!" and lived? feeling what it's like to endure pain, but also know what it's like to smile and laugh? you can do it. you can do anything. LIVE. you are brave and strong.


He wasn't my crush until this random dream I had of him. I was in front of my school picking bark off a tree stump and he joined me and said, "I can help you, you just have to keep going." That was like the highlight of the dream. Then he asked me out on a date and we went on the best date ever to this really awesome store. After that I started paying more attention to him and realized, I kinda like him! Then a week or so later, another dream of him giving me advice for a game we were playing in pe happened. The next day my friend randomly told this guy I liked him and she had no clue that I actually do. It's like everything in the universe is pushing me to him but I think he is annoyed by my friend right now. What does all of this mean? What should I do? Thanks! (link)
Go get him!! if you feel a strong connection with him and you feel alive and the feeling's natural when you're around him, tell him how you feel. if you have to convince yourself that you like him, chances are its not meant to be. if the universe is pushing you to fall in his arms, go with your heart. don't over think it. if you really like him you won't have to think at all


First of all, this is my first boyfriend. And I just finished high school. I think it's ridiculous of how people "date" from elementary school because by then girls brag about how they've had like 20 boyfriends. Which just sounds awful to me. To me having a boyfriend is like a potential husband in the VERY far future.

I never even liked anyone until I met him. It wasn't instantly but after a couple of classes I realized what a great guy he was and not like all the immature guys in school. I never dated anyone before and he hasn't either and we just grew close and I guess everyone just knew before I did and one day he asked me out and that's how its been.

It was just wonderful and its been less than a year but one I'm around him, I just don't feel anything special anymore. My heart doesn't race as it used to. Sometimes I couldn't think when I'm around him because just him being there made my mind blank. But now my head is clear and I just have nothing to say.

And he constantly expresses how much he loves me but somehow I just don't feel it. And it wasn't until my bst friend asked me if I even like him that made me really think. I feel awful. If we break up I don't even know how that is going to work and its not that I'm itnerested in anyone else. It's just that I really do not feel anything when I'm with him now and have a huge smile on my face when I know that text message is from him. What's your take on this? (link)
tell him the truth. you don't want to lead him on. go out there girl and find your true love! if you've fallen out of love with him, its not meant to be. when you find your true love, he should make you feel the same way you did when you first met. usually, first loves don't work out. don't get discouraged. plenty of fish in the sea. love should make you happy and make you smile. if you don't feel that anymore, go find him...your real love. you have time.


*Sorry if this is long, but please read. I need help as soon as I can get it.*
I'm a female. My age is between 11-16.
I hate my body. I think i'm so fat and I wish I can look like my role model, Bella Thorne.
I hate my weight. I really wish I was skinny, but I honestly think i'm like an elephant. I don't really have a double chin, but if I lean my head back then you can see it.I'm around 90 pounds.
I hate myself. I was really skinny and picky when I was younger, but I ended up going overweight one summer. Then I was overweight that whole school year. The next summer(last summer), I started to get concerned about my weight and stopped eating.
Ok, so here's the deal: I WANT TO STARVE MYSELF. I feel guilty when I eat. How do I starve myself? I don't eat at school, so I guess that's a start.
Please don't tell me all this stuff saying "Eat" and you know. Thanks! (link)
when people starve themselves, they get anorexia. You are not overweight if you weigh 90 pounds. if you want to feel good about yourself, start exercising instead of not eating. exercising is a good way to release positive energy, boost self esteem, and keeps people at a healthy weight without having to deprive yourself of food. anorexia is really really horrible. don't lead yourself down that road. you can be skinny without starving yourself. you are not overweight if anything you don't weigh enough. have confidence in yourself.


I have a close friend and lately i have been feeling inlove with him. I really like him but i dont know if he likes me! And im nervous about asking him beacuse i dont want our friendship to be awkward. He always wants hugs from me, i cant stop thinking about him and the one say my friend was afriad to say i love you to my other friend so he said ill say it to Jess aka me and he did, so i relly feel despreat to know pleas helpp!! (link)
relax. don't over think this. think about this: what first comes to your mind when you think of him? do u imagine being with him, or do you imagine him always being just a good friend? Would you being willing to risk your friendship and be in a relationship? go with what your heart feels. if you don't, you'll always regret it. whatever answer pops in your mind before the second guessing comes in, that is what you should go with. do what your heart says. don't let your mind hold you back. if you decide to tell him, its his loss if he doesn't feel the same way. no guy is better than you.


Me and my best friend were really close. But one day, she started hanging out with a girl I didn't like(She knows I don't like her). And the other day, the girl started talking crap to me, and she just agreed to everything. Anyways, she started hanging out with her, and I can't stand it. What do I do? I don't want to tell her I don't like the girl or ask to hang out.. Help quickly please! (link)
Be honest with her. tell her that you miss her. if you were really close, most likely you'll forgive eachother and move on. best friends have their ups and downs and sometimes what they get through together makes them closer. if she doesnt agree to forget about it, most likely she's not your true friend.
good luck:)


I really like this guy. I don't know if he likes me back though! He talks to me a lot, makes me laugh, laughs with me, and always has some kind of excuse to talk to me. Does he like me? I don't know... (link)
If u don't take a chance, you'll never know! have confidence and be honest with him. if he doesn't like you it's his loss.

Hi I'm 14/f
I like this boy, a lot. I would just like to know what is going on with me.

I miss him even if he's gone for just 2 minutes to go pee.
I'm always looking at him to check if he's looking at me.
He walks by and even if I'm crying, I'd smile.
Every time he walks by, he looks at me, and for the two seconds, I melt.
When he smiles it's like the sun just came out after a rain storm.
When he touches me, it's like electricity.
I hear his voice in my head sometimes (I don't mean in the creepy haunted way, I mean I can hear him just talking. If that doesn't make any sense I don't know how else to explain it.)
I want to hold his hand or hug him sooooo badly. I dreamed about it once.
I love the way he runs.
I love it when he looks confused.
I love it when he laughs.
I love it when he smiles.
I want to meet his family or at least his parents.
I hope he wants to kiss me as much as I want to kiss him... (he is very sexual in his conversations with me, so that might be true)
You know how people touch your shoulder so they can get your attention? (like if someone else is calling you) I love the way he does that. It's so cute.
Every time I see him, I think my heart literally skips a beat.
As you might've been able to guess, I can't stop thinking about him for even one second.
I have a problem with looking away from him some times.
When he catches me looking at him, I get really shy.

He isn't my boyfriend by the way :)
I hope this will at least stop hitting me so hard. I lay in bed for 2 hours just waiting for myself to fall asleep, and I'm usually up for just 1.
Is this bad? I know I'm not obsessed with him though, because I can still do school work (that's how I can tell) without being distracted by thoughts of him.

Thank you for answering in advance! (link)
No...it's not bad at all!!Its natural. You should tell him how you feel. honesty is the best policy. if he doesnt like you back its his loss. take a chance! would u rather not take the chance and never knowing if it could hve been? or there being a possibility that you can be together? Be strong. have confidence.
you go girl!
good luck:)


There's this guy...I recently realized that I do like him. I kind of have this feeling that nothing will ever happen for a few reasons, but I still get super nervous around him. Sometimes, we'll walk and talk together in the mornings before and after 1st period. I used to have no problem keeping up a conversation with him, but now I'm struggling to keep up my side of it and it turns into an awkward silence. I can never think of anything to say and I feel like I mumble on sometimes. I'm always afraid to approach him in the hallway when I see him so I wait until he comes up to me. I think he thinks that I don't want to talk to him or that I don't like him. How can I overcome my shyness/nervousness and be a little more flirty when I talk to him? Thanks in advance for everything :) (link)
Have confidence in yourself. Ifyou want to be with him, not telling him will just make you want him more. Be honest. Spend some more time with him. try to approach him first so he knows you want to talk to him. be yourself around him. if he doesn't like it, then it is his loss and theres plenty of fish in the sea. Would you rather take the chance and there being a possibility of u being with him..or not take the chance and regretting it? go get him gurrrl! don't be afraid to take a chance.


Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl and my parents just don't understand me.My mom and dad had a divorce and I just hate it. They don't realize what this has done to me and how much its effecting me. My dad is ALWAYS lecturing me about how I'm going to screw up my life when I'm 18 and that he's not gonna help me when I'm older. Every chance he gets he tells me to get better grades and I'm the laziest person ever and I don't do anything. He doesn't Ever appreciate what I do for him and he doesn't realize that I want to do things regular teenagers do. I watch my 4 year old little brother all the fricken time and I never get to do anything a regular teenager does. I never go out or nothing just sit at home watching my brothers. My mom just doesn't give a sh*t she never wants to listen to me and married a complete moron (my stepdad) and they had a baby. He is currently 11 months and I watch him to. My dad thinks I'm a complete failure and he is always putting me down. I cry every night and try to put a smile on my face the next day. I'm fed up with it I need someone to help me to give me a reason to smile. (link)
Tell your parents the truth. if they don't value your honesty, that's their loss. Start playing an instrument to get out your anger in a harmless way that will turn into something positive. music always is the answer. also start going on runs. this may help clear your head. venture out and start meeting new people surrounding yourself with people that care about you will lead you in the right direction and help you thru the bad times.


OKay , so what does it mean when a guy tells you that he's always gonna like you regardless of what happens with the two of you? I'm asking this because there are many different meanings to the word "like" and I wanna know which one he meant.

P.S. we both liked each other more than a friend. (link)
Be honest with him. if you want a relationship with him, spend some time with him. see if you reconnect with him. If you do feel a connection with him and you feel you want him back, go get him gurrrrl! and if it doesn't work out, everything happens for areason. plaenty of fish in the sea.
Good luck!:)


So ther is this guy that I never thought I would like because He is one of the popular guys and I am not into those guys. But I had a dream a while ago about him and I've been kinda watching him and I'm friends with his two best friends but I have barely ever talked to him. I don't even know him that well and I can't get him off of my mind! I'm just too scared to walk up and say hi because he always has friends around him. Please Help! Thanks. (link)
if your friends with his best friends, just hang out with them more often; he's bound to be there at some point. Don't get discouraged because he is popular either, I'm sure he's very nice, no guy is ever too good for you! if you want to get him off your mind you need to talk to him first. admiring from afar only makes the heart grow fonder. try not to be flirty though, just be his friend first and see where that goes!
good luck!(:







So i really like this guy! He is amazing in every way possible! He's amazingly sweet and sooo cute!!! And I've never felt this way before.. He makes me feel alive and happy that none of my past relationships have worked! We have been together about a month.. and every time i kiss him i just fall harder. I don't know if i really love him or is just the fact i am 1 and in love with the thought of being in love?? (link)
Spend more time with him. a month isn't that long. If you really love him, you will feel a strong connection. don't over think it. if you are trying to convince yourself its not true love. if the feeling is honest and natural and feels right, you have found him.
p.s. listen to taylor swift for additional advice!!
:)


Long story short my freinds told this guy that I SECRETLY like that I like him but they don't know the truth, they were just messing around. When he asked me about it I told him no I actually don't like him but I DO LIKE HIM! I didn't want to tell him becasue there a whole buncha people at my desk at the moment!! What am I supossed to do? It was the perfect opportunity and I threw it away! Thanks! (link)
He will appreciate your honesty. talk to him in person and tell him how you feel. ask yourself: would i rathernot take the risk and never get him, or take the risk and there being a chance? if it works out or not, you will know that you were honest and you spoke up and were brave. Remember everything happens for a reason. listen to taylor swift. she'll help you through it no matter what you have to go through no matter happy...or sad.
Good luck!!:)


I have a friend named Jarmond. I found out he likes me about a month or two ago. He won't stop calling me. Texting me. Telling me he loves me. Talking bad about my boyfriend. Saying how much he wants to kiss me and be with me. Always tries to hang out. Touches me all the time. Ect. What can I say to him to give him the hint that I do NOT like him nor wanna be with him. He's starting stuff with me and my boyfriend trying to brake us up and I'm very annoyed!! Help! (link)
be honest with him. tell him it is not your fault who youlike and who you don't...because there is a difference between being mean and honest. if you tell him calmly with ease, he will most likely understand that you don't mean to be rude and that you are just trying to tell the truth. ask him nicely to stop bothering you. if he doesn't take this well, its not your fault. dont feel bad...you have a boyfriend and he needs to accept that. Tell him there are plenty of fish in the sea and its your loss (just to keep his self esteem from not breaking).


So, I'm in the middle school and I had this guy I was into, and I think he was really into me. Even my sister, and friends thought he really liked me. And, one Saturday, this girl said She was going out with him. Suddenly, I felt so crushed and I was basically crying the whole night. I texted him and confronted him in a pretty harsh way and told him not to talk to me. Then, about a week later, I guess we kind of became friends again. I don't know if that's the right choice because he will always be around her..Please help! I don't know what to do! (link)
Still be friends with him, because what if he realizes he likes you, just by spending more time with you? You never know. Drop hints that you like him, text him, talk more, but don't try too hard. Be you and let any discomfort around him slide off your shoulders. Let it work out. If this doesn't work tell him in person how you feel about him, be gentle, comftorable, make eye contact. This will show him you're confident and not afraid to speak the truth. He just might feel the same way, and think that you dont like him back so he's trying to forgive and forget; but if that's not the case and really does have feelings for his girlfriend, dont change for him, move on. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Give other guys a chance to like you the way you are. I hope the helps! Good Luck! Rate me if you'd like!


hello.im 16 female. so if you have known a guy for a year 4 months 3weeks n 3days and you love them and you think they feel that same like they act like it and say they love you too. and they treat you like a princess n protect you,but they moved to st pete awhile back and you miss them all you do is cry,and you know that there with a girl who isnt right for them and they promise you to get married to run away when there 18...but you cant help but hurt...how do u handle it? (link)
Call him and get your feelings out, trust me it will feel alot better. See what he says, if he still feels the same way and you CANT live without him, nothing wrong with a long distance relationship! If you feel differently after you let it all out, branch out, theres probably plenty of other guys that are waiting for you to give them a chance. If he doesn't feel the same way and you still do after you tell him, talk to someone you trust, move on gradually, let yourself forgive and forget and give other guys a chance. Remember: there are plenty of fish in the sea, so dont be surprised if you find someone you feel the same way about. I hope this helps! Good luck! Rate me if you'd like:)


So Ive had the biggest crush on my best guy friend for a long time now. It really seemed like he liked me back but recently he's been different and today he was talking about a girl he wanted to ask to prom... He's like my best friend but how can we talk on the phone or text EVERY SINGLE day, and him not develop more feelings than friendship?? It actually broke my heart when he talked about the other girl... And I don't know what to do... I havent felt this shitty since when my last boyfriend dumped me and this guy has been the first guy since (almost a year) that i can talk to and not miss my ex... Please help me:( I hate this...I'm 15/F hes 16/M (link)
i think you should follow your heart and sit him down and shout it that you want to be with him, before it's too late. Tell him asap you dont want to lose him. Be confident, brave, conftorable, calm, and gentle. So what if he rejects you? What if hes liked you this whole time and you end up not telling him? You cant win the race enless your in the race~! Tell him! I hope this helps! Good Luck! Rate me if youd like:)


There's all these things saying that everyone has a best friend and what not but I've never felt that comfort in my life, ever. I've had friends.. but I never was close with them enough that I'd truly be able to call them best friends, you know? I was very close with 3 or 4 people in 4th grade but so far that's the high in my lifetime friendships and I'm 17 now. It seems like most people I consider "friends" are just "school friends". So I don't feel like I can depend on people, cause they will let you down. All those fun friend experiences I've rarely had. I haven't been invited to a birthday party in years, I've never been invited to a sleepover, I haven't hung out at a friend's house in more than a year, etc. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but then it just hurts to go on sites like Facebook where everyone seems to be having so much fun with their friends. I mean I don't seek popularity or anything but I'd just like at least 1or 2 friends where I could feel totally comfortable with them and we'd totally gel and could hang out and almost be like sisters. But for now those sorts of relationships seem like a dream.. and its just very frusterating. Like what am I doing wrong? Even people I'd consider mean have a lot more friends than I do. With a lot of people I feel like they have ulterior motives.. like maybe they're embarassed by me or something.. I just pick up on when people are genuine to me or not. It's just hard to be a confident person when I don't even have anyone to text everyday and share problems with, you know and help each other. My sister and I are too different.. we've always been that way. It just makes me feel alone. Does it get better at college? I feel like I'm socially awkward with certain things since i haven't really experienced it with friends.. and self conscious over a few things too without friends to reassure me. like its always my fear in school when we have to partner up or do group work cause often I dont have a partner. its even harder in my new school (I moved here last year) and I feel even more alone and even though I prefer working by myself when everyone else is talking and laughing and I'm by myself working.. it just makes me feel sad and I don't like it. ughhh what is wrong with me. im a caring friend and what not.. maybe its because I'm not really a mainstream sort of person? I don't knowwwwwww how to fix this (link)
I would definitely branch out more and be yourself around people you want to be friends with. Keep in touch more, set things up to go shopping or go to the mall. Some people dont want to hang out with you, because maybe they think you dont want to if you dont feel comftorable around them.I hope this helps! rat me if youd like:)
