advice


I'm just really scared right now. My dad has
just got finished with hitting me over and
over again and he took a plastic hanger and
just keep whacking me with it on my toes. And
that kills! I kept trying to run away but I
was too in shock to move out of his reach and
my sister doesn't think anything of it because
he does it a lot so she thinks that's what your
supposed to do. After watching my dad hit me,
my sister frequently elbows me or punches me in
the stomach if we play hide and seek and she loses.
My parents buy my sister everything and play games
with her and treat her well but they treat me
like I'm a piece of crap. They call me "a piece
of shit" and "a waste of space." And they threatened
to send me to a shrink and never let me see my
family again. My relatives gossip to everyone if
I tell them my dad hit me and they don't believe
me so I can't tell them. I will NEVER tell my
friends because even though I love them dearly,
I couldn't trust them with that. Also, I hate my
guidance counselor and I just can't tell him. After
my dad hit me I had my hand on the phone and I
was just about to dial 911 but I got scared and
stopped. I did it once before but my parents
denied everything. Once I was on vacation and
my parents were verbally abusing me and this
lady heard and called the police but my parents
denied everything. Sometimes I give my parents
a reason to hit me like if we are in a fight
but I don't know I'm really scared to come out
of my room right now. I need all the advice I
can get and if you believe I should call a number
and tell them what's going on who do I call?
I want a professional. But if they take me away
from the parents, where will I live? I really
don't want to live with strangers in an
orphanage! Would they put me at a friend's
or relatives house? I'm just really scared and
I don't really want to leave my parents. But they
can be abusive and I don't know how much longer
I can put up with it! Help!!!!!


Sorry this is soo long.

I don't know if you need anymore advice , but my heart breaks for you so badly and i just want to help you out. You need to contact the police when the abuse happens. Like right away. Dont be scared to its going to be for the best. I promise you.No person should ever go through physical or verbal abuse! You are not a waste of life. DOnt let them get to you. God created you and made you the way you are. The truth is , they might take you away from your parents, but isnt it better to be away from that? DO you have any really close friends. You could ask a friend if you could stay at there house for a while, because your having family problems. I dont know, but do something. Tell someone right away! But always remember, you are someone specail and dont deserve this!



IF you ever need anything let me knoww because im here!:]

ahh. okay i have two questons.

the first one is.
how can i make my hair grow faster. like long quick.

the second one is.
how can i loose weight quick. like in a week. around 5 pounds. or just get a flat stomach. ah. quick. im going on a class trip thing to a water park and yeah.
dont like lecture me about like dieting and etc.

thankssss.

Haha I heard if you put your hair in like ice cold water, it works, but i have no clue if thats true. If your willing to experiment go for it.

5 pounds in a week ? you can defiantly do that. Just cut out all sugary foods and junk food, soda,late night snacks, snacking inbetween meals. Drink lots of water!! Have the basic 3 healthy meals a day. And just exerise. I dont recommend like not eating! cause you'll loose muscle not fat. But you probably already know that.



Good luck :]

This will be long and I apologize, but it's a long story. I have good grammar, I promise. :] (and yes, this is about a guy)

Me = 18/f
Him = 17/m

Ok, we'll start 2 years ago where it all began. His name is Drew and I forget how I met him hahah. But we had lunch together and we slowly started liking each other. We would feed each other french fries and flirt a lot and everyone kept saying "Why don't you guys just go out?" and we'd just look at each other and laugh. We had an AIM conversation in which we basically told each other we liked each other and he asked me to the Snowball. As it turned out, they cancelled it. :[ And nothing else really happened that year, except the same old flirting. At this point, he usually wore a black t-shirt and jeans and had a longer haircut. Not a lot-long, it was above his shoulders and kinda wavy.

Now we get into last year. I hadn't talked to him all summer and when I came back to school, I was surprised to find that he cut his hair short and kinda spiky and dressed completely preppy. I didn't talk to him much during the first couple of months. Then Homecoming was coming around and I know guys are supposed to ask girls, but I ended up asking him, because we sort of starting talking again (as in saying "hey" in the hallway and stuff). But he already had a date. Obviously, I was a bit crushed and ended up just going w/ 4 of my friends. I got to talk to him once during the dance and got a cute pic of him, but then I left to go hang out w/ my friends. We went out in the courtyard to hang out and eat popcorn and I started crying and saying how much I wanted him. Pathetic, I know, but it was how I honestly felt. After that, we hardly talked much the rest of the year. He was hanging out w/ a different group of friends, but we still had the occasional "hey" in the hallway.

Now the most recent and confusing paragraph hahah. This is this school year. Again, we didn't talk much during the first few months. At the time, I had a boyfriend of 4 months, but we broke up because he told me he was bi, and I wasn't comfy w/ that, if you know what I mean. I'm not a homophobe if that's what you're thinking, it was just weird dating him after that. So almost as soon as I broke up w/ him, I went out w/ another guy, but it didn't last long. I also requested to be Drew's friend on myspace, but we never commented on each other's profiles or anything. Then, out of the blue, he sent me a comment saying "This might sound weird, but I actually kind of miss you". Cute, rite? So we started commenting back and forth and he gave me his number and told me to call him. I did, and for not talking in practically forever, it wasn't awkward at all. He even started talking about the past and how he wondered if we would have dated, had the dance not been cancelled. He got kind of excited and was like, "You wanna go out now?" And we started laughing and then we're like, "Wait, we just started talking hahah". So after that, we texted nonstop for 3 days straight and it was really nice. He told me he had a number of crushes, but that the biggest one was me. I thought maybe we had a chance to go out. Then we started talking about going out and he said that there was only one thing holding him back. And it was because of my friends. A couple of them are gay (a guy and girl) and some are kind of annoying (I'm not the most popular person, but I do love my friends hahah) And he said that his friends made fun of my friends sometimes and he was afraid of what they would say if he went out w/ me. Kind of egotistical rite? Like I said, he had a different group of friends now who were more popular and I guess it got to his head. It pretty much pissed me off, but I didn't say anything, just that I understood. But after that, we stopped talking again. Except when he saw me in the hallway, he would always smile and say "hey". And we gave each other the occassional pic comment on myspace (He always said I was cute and all). That was around December. So from December until the end of April, we would sometimes say "hey" in the hallway and have the occassional nice times when we got to talk for a little bit, like at the school musical (He was in it, and I was an usher w/ some of my friends). Then prom came around (May 4). Near the end of the night, he asked me to dance (I was ecstatic hahah but didn't let it show). It was really nice, but then he had to go, so he gave me a hug said good-bye and smiled. A couple weeks went by, in which not much happened.

Now the final phase of this question. A little less than a week ago, I had a dream about him. To keep it short, at one point, he asked for a hug, so I hugged him and he gave me a kiss on the cheek (a very nice one, I might add ;]). I flipped out, once I woke up and discovered it was only a dream. And now, ever since then, I've been going crazy. It's like my feelings for him exploded, like an exponential growth, if that makes sense. I've been going crazy this past week, crying when I think about him. It's so bad. I have no idea what to do, and even prayed to God about it (although I've got no answer yet). Saturday night, though, we had another "moment" if you want to call it that. I went to the chorus concert, because a lot of my friends are in it. I came in really late, because of work, so I ended up setting against the wall in the back. I watched him and I almost started crying and I couldn't stop shaking. Once it was over, I went backstage to find my friends. I saw the usual, gave them hugs, and told them good job and all. Then Drew saw me and gave me kind of a half-hug and said hi. I went to talk to my friend Sam after that. He came back and hugged me again. And then he said it wasn't long enough and that we would have to do it again hahah. So we hugged a third time and started talking again (needless to say, I can't remember a THING we talked about). So then he left for a bit and came back wearing a viking hat w/ blonde pigtail braids on it. Being weird I guess. So I was like, "Wow.. that's attractive." So we laughed for a bit, but I had to go, so he hugged me again (:D). Today, I had finals, so our schedules were all screwed up, and I never got a chance to see him.

I casually commented him today about the viking hat, and he was online at the time, but never commented me back. :[

So of course, I'm very sad right now. My mom and friends think I might be in love, but I think that's a strong word. All I know is, I REALLY like this boy. It's killing me knowing I'm not w/ him right now. I'm freaking out. I graduate next Thursday. Tomorrow is my last day of finals and Wednesday is the senior's last day of school. I'm afraid if I don't do something now, nothing will ever happen. I'm afraid of not seeing him ever again. I feel like I can't live w/o him. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid if I tell him how I feel, he'll either not say anything back, or reject me, which I know I can't handle. I can't tell if he likes me or not. I'm pretty sure he does, from the way we texted back in December and some of the things that he said. But he's sending me mixed signals and I have no idea what to think or what to do. Please help me, I don't know what to say to him or what to do. And he's REALLY FREAKING CUTE!! HELPPP!!!

Thanks in advance, sorry this was so long, but I feel like I needed to tell you everything in order for you to understand more. :/ I know I've left things out, but it's long enough already. If you need more info, let me know.



Signed,
Lost and Confused. :/

Aww im sorry you've been through all this. I think since its your senior year you got to give it a shott! Tell him EXCALTY how you feel. If he just like flat out rejects you, the good thing is , your graduating. Lets not hope that happens, but from what i read he does seem at least interested. Tell him , that if he does really like you, than he wouldnt let what his friends think effect him from being with you. YOu really have to tell him excalty how you feel. Just text him one day asking to get together and go talk. IF you like him so much that it makes you cry, you deserve to be with him, and for that to happen he needs to know excalty how you feel. The best thing i can say is just tell him excalty what youve been going through.


Good luck girl :] tell me how it turns out. I want to knoww :]] xoxo

i cant take school anymore. its annoying the shit out of me, and its getting harder and harder every day, especially math and science. ive always wanted to go to college and have a good futute but im now beginning to think that all of that doesnt matter anymore since i hate school SOO much. i dont understand ANYTHING in math, and i pay attention too. i fail EVERY quiz and my math grade was a B- last week, so this week's progress report i'm probably gonna get a D. my effed up teacher gives a quiz EVERY week i am not kidding. every week, we have a quiz or test in math and science and in science the questions are so fucking hard, they arent in the science book, they arent on google, they arent anywhere. i just dont know what the hell to do. i dont wanna talk to anyone or my parents or a school councelor or teacher. help me please.

Some of these answers , were a little mean. But first off, defiantly dont drop out. Your only in 7th grade! i know school is hard trust me. Im a freshmen in highschool , so this year got tough. I hated school so much that I missed at a day every week. Than things turned around for me. I got tested for ADD and i got medicine for it. Maybe you cant understand things because you have ADD? Maybe you can talk to your mom about getting tested. I have all A's and B's now. I also got a tutor in the subjects that i wasnt good in. Staying after is defiantly a must. Especailly if you cant do it.It shows the teacher you really do care about it and it shows your motivated. The teacher will like you if you do this.My teacher told me that today. Science is a pain! I have a science teacher who hasnt taught us anything. Im not like overexxagrating. He just doesnt teach. But we have quizzes and tests and of course a final coming up. So i have to teach myself. And although you dont want to talk to somone it will help. Stop being so stubborn. YOu need help from other people . Sorry this is so long.

Well, I find I am very odd. I always feel depressed when i'm not with my friends. Most of the time I feel like there blowing me off everytime I want to do something with them. I'm wondering if there is something mentally wrong with me :S

No theres nothing wrong with you at, it would be a different story , if you always wanted to be alone. You probably are just the type of person who loves to be around people and theres nothing wrong with that ! Make some new friends, if you feel as if your friends blow you off, or invite them places.So its not always like your waiting to get asked to do something.

I know being bulimic isnt good but i dont understand how people do it. i know i cant make myself throw up even when i am sick how do people force themselves to throw up?

I tried being bulimic once! never will i ever try it again. I threw out my food once and thats all it took me to realize it was nasttyy! like I cant comprehend how i made myself do it even once. I just stuck the toothbrush down far enough and i gues that was it. Its really gross and soo unhealthy. you wouldnt believe what can happen to your body because of bulimia.Some people just can eat food, and than stick there finger/toothbrush down far enough to make themselves throw up. After a while of that your gag reflixes automatically like instinticvely make you throw up. ( if thats the right word). sorry i just babbled on. I wasnt even sure how to answer this

Where can I find clothes like abercrombie and fitch & american eagle but cheaper? Because I honestly don't think a shirt is worth $30-$40 ish.

I would really like to get cute shorts
and a shirt similar to this-

http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?rcid=womens&scid=cat90038&navroot=womens&productId=0355_5721

or anything plaid.
But i don't know where to look! I don't go to the mall often or anything... and I wouldn't be able to go in every other store to look around. Time is limited..

the plaid shorts, i know they have like pairs of them at walmart for like 10 $ and they're really cute!and I dont know if you know of the store forever 21, they have amazing clothes and they have plaid shorts like like 20.00$. I dont know what your price range is. Forever 21 is so fashionable and surprisingly inexpensive. like I got 3 shirts for the price of one shirt from abercrombie and fitch. You might also want to try oldnavy too ! good luck :]

I finally came-to last night. Like, I had doubted for a long time, but last night I woke up and realized and fully believe in God now. I accepted Jesus into my heart. And, this morning, since like EARLY it has been raining HARD and thundering and lightening bad. Could this have anything to do with my experience last night?

first off i want to say way to go. not many people can do that. I think the raining and thunder was probably just a concidence. But you never know. God works in mysterious ways so i really dont have the right answer, but maybe hes trying to tell you something. just pray about it, and he will open your eyes to what he wants to show you. :]

14/f
well i have this issue. i can't stand myself , and i think i'm rly ugly and everytime i look in the mirrow i start crying. i dunno why but i take pictures of myself and also film myself 2 see if what i see in the mirrow is true , and that mostly makes it even more bad cuz i look worse. i even think about suicide sometimes coz looks are like the most important thing 2 me and say whatever you want , you're not gonna change my mind. but here's the twist....guys always stare at me (like a: "you're hot" stare and not an "you're ugly" stare lool) and my friends tell me i'm sooo pretty and so does my mom. they say i'm like the prettiest girl eva. but the thing is that i always see an extremly ugly girl in the mirrow/camera ..and i mean EXTREMLY UGLY!!! i am soo unhappy most of the time so i just wanted 2 ask if there is something like an illness where you see yourself totally different in the mirrow/camera? i know there is this thingy where you see yourself totally fat but youre like reeeallyyy skinny...but thats not my problem...my problem is my face so is there something like and illness for that? coz if there is i would be soo reliefed coz that means what i see is not true.
and yeah if there is....what can i do 2 "cure" myself
thxx!!!!

No , to be honest, I think its all about confidence and self esteem. You got to believe yourself.I think there is no such thing as ugly . People just have there opinions on whats pretty. You just need to struggle through and look in the mirror and tell yourself "Im Beautiful". Sounds cheessy? Probably. But really it will help. Okay bye

ok there is something that is reeaaalllyy getting on my nervs...
i have really long thick healthy black hair until my ass...yeah great huh?
soo every girl is telling me i should cut my hair short. it is REALLY buggĂ­ng me...this may sound kinda weird , but my hair looks great long!!! and it'z not like itz dry and ugly! all the guys love my hair and tell me i should neva cut it short , but all the girls keep getting on my nervs with it!! i even postet a question here about what kinda shampoo i should use for my hair and i said itz long and the first thing i get is: CUT YOUR HAIR SHORT!!
wtf is peoples problems and why does every1 hate long hair except for the guys??

Girls are just jealous of your beautiful healthy long hair. Because its hard to have hair like that. If you love your hair and the way it looks long keep it that way. Maybe you want to get like a little trim to get the dead ends off but nothing more like like an inch. And if guys like it thats a pluss :]

I've been on birth control for about 5 months, I started with Loestrin, then the next three were the microgestin or something, which is a different/cheaper brand of loestrin, then loestrin again. I'm on the third sugarpill tonight for the Loestrin and still haven't gotten my period. Is this normal?

yeah,im on birthcontrol too and i get mine like the the 4th or 5th day of the sugarpill. It just varies, as long as you get it the week of the sugarpills its normal. It may be because you switched and its not adjusted . but its not adnormal or anything.

Hey. Well, I'm 13/f, and during the weeekdays, I live with my mom [my parents are divorced]. Now, don't get me wrong, my mom is NOT an alchaholic, becuase I've NEVER seen her like really drunk, in my entire life. But, she always drinks, like beer is pretty much the only thing she does drink. I've told her It bothers me, and she stops, for like 3 days to a week. Then she complains that she's 'poor'. She also smokes, a LOT, In the house, and it smells GROSS. Is their anything I can do?

Im going through the excact same thing with my mom.My mom complains that shes a single parent and its too hard.It really bothers me when she does drink, like to the point where when i think about it , ill cry. One day i was so fed up with it than i just balled and told her how i felt and that i dont like her like that and she promised to stop. Unfortuntualy that didnt really last long. Just really talk to her about it. Show her it really upsets you, and if she doesnt have a drinking problem she will be able to stop. I know how hard it is.
My mom also smokes, i guess im just so used to the smell. But you can try spraying some air freshner around the house, and febreze on the furniture and before you go out make sure to put perfume on , so you dont smell like smoke. You wouldnt belive how many peple have asked me if i smoke.


good luck and if you ever want to talk about things dont be shy !:]

Ok.. well junior prom is in two weeks, and I don't have a date. I'm a girl, so I don't plan on asking anybody, and if anybody was going to ask me, they would have asked by now.

I was just going to go with a few friends but trying to find a dress and stuff... I just realized that I really don't want to go. I mean, the only reason I'm going is to say that I went, but I have a feeling that I won't enjoy it very much (especially without a date). And I don't know if it's worth the money if I'm not going to have fun, especially because my parents can't afford it.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to not go, because then I'll be sitting at home on Saturday night while all my friends are at prom and I'll be sorry I didn't go... but if I go, I won't have fun and I'll just be miserable.

I don't know. If I had a date, it would be okay, but I don't think I'll have fun without a date. What should I do?

I think you should go. There was just a dance last night and i didnt want to go but i went anyways and i ended up having a lot of fun, and if you stay at home you might regret not going . you know ? i think its better without a date because you can dance with whoever you want. if you do go and it turns out your miserable , you can leave. there are a lot of cute cheap dresses out there . you will defiantly be able to find one for a good price. believe me if you dont go you might regret it in the end. you only get to go to prom twice. dont miss out on the experience!

first off, dont bitch at me about this saying im stupid or anything.
14/f.
i had sex with my boyfriend for the first time on the 13th of april. and since then i have been having stomach aches.
yes, we used a condom. and no, im not on the pill.
can anyone tell me if stomach aches come with pregnancy? can you also tell me what other signs i should look for?
im really scared to tell my mom. she likes my boyfriend. and shes for abortion and i am not. i know for a fact she will make me get one.
and one last question... how much are abortions?
please, help is needed.

you're probably not pregnant, but if its worrying you that much , just take a test. If in fact you are pregnant , its your desicion to have an abortion, your mom can not force you to kill your unborn child. That is if your pregnant. But no matter what stick to what you believe in. If your pregnant , tell your mom. The sooner you do , the better you will feel . And relieved.



Good luck.

in your opinion, should sex wait until marriage or before? (if before, then what age is appropriate) just wondering, thank youu

Im defiantly all for until marriage. Its so much easier. The emotional pain you go through when you have sex before marriage is just horrible because your not as commited to the person and you have a chance of being dumped and heartbroken.If you fall in love with someone who is also a virgin and you decide to get married, its such a wonderful gift that you would share together. dont you think? like saving yourself for one person and one person only. I dont know if you think thats boring and lame, but i think its cool. I mean who wants to get married to someone , that you dont know who've they've "been" with. That is just my opinion .

Are there ne ways to get rid of hunger pains? Like besides eating, that's obvious. I heard chewing gum makes your body think u r eating so u aren't hunger. Is that true? Let me know. Thanks.

chewing gum actually,makes you more hungry. it sends saliva to the stomache and than your stomache thinks food is coming so it gets hungry.You have to put your body on a eating schedule. if you just eat whenever at any time , your more likey to get hungry but if you stick to a routine like eating every four hours, eventually and quickly , your stomache picks up on that schedule and adjusts.

My best guy friend asked me out a week ago, and I liked him a little, so I said yes. Well... now he's getting annoying, and sometimes I have feelings for him, sometimes I don't. I kinda like someone else, but I know I have no chance with him, but I still don't want to go out with my boyfriend when I don't really like him. Help me, PLEASE.

if you really dont like him, just dump him , because you've only been going out for a wweek so its no big deal, just go with your heart, i know that sounds wickes stupid, but its true.

i had a dream last night that my best friend betrayed me and we weren't friends anymore, what does this mean?

To dream that you have been betrayed, represents your suspicions about a particular person, relationship or situation in real life


Dont worry i didnt come up with that my self.


on www.myjellybean.com , they have a dream dictionary what tells you what your dreams mean.
