today my bf took me at his house..we got physical and he was sucking my boobs..he sucked my left boob so hard that a little part of my nipples skin is gone. will it come back? will it cause any problem in future? please help..give me some solution (link)

I'm reasonably sure like any other skin or abrasion that it will heal in time. As far as your boyfriend goes tell him what happened and that this HURT you so he doesn't approach it the same exact way next time.

I'm afraid of the dark. I'm a 10 year old female.
I was always afraid of the dark, but my parents thought it was a a little girl thing when I was young. But it still haunts me. The other night, my mom blew a fuse, and my electricity went out-which means no light- and I started sweating and breathing heavily, and I had to pull the shades up, and turn on my phone and kindle fire. I can never fall asleep without the light on. Once I notice the sun setting,I'm like, Let's go home, or like, Let's go inside, 4th of July is fine cuz we often have sparklers, lanterns, etc. I'm embarrassed to tell my parents because I'm a big girl now, almost a woman, I'm in a training bra, discharge, and pubic hair,(all aboard the period train!) I feel I shouldn't be afraid of the dark.
I don't know how to cope with it on my own, so I'm wondering if I need a psychologist. But only crazy people need those, right? And how should I tell my parents? (link)

First of all you don't have to be "crazy" to see a psychologist or benefit from the advice of one or a psychologist. People who do have mental health problems are not write-offs either.
It's an illness in their case just like cancer is and it's treatable. People need to realize that. What you need to do is figure out where this fear originates and constantly remind yourself that there is absolutely nothing that can harm you.
If you sleep with the lights off know that there are people a few rooms over and that nobody can or will harm you. Then you'll train yourself to be able to do it.

Im going on my sophmore year in highschool, and i love everything about marching band. I am also on the debate team and preparing to take an AP class which my parents find as conflicts. My dad was this huge debate superstar in highschool, and now has decided to force me to quit marching band. I have told him in the past that i love marching band more than anything else that i do in school, and he doesnt care. I asked him to consider my happiness, and he said happiness isnt the key point in his decision making. Also i asked him why i cant do what i want to do, to which he replied "what you do in high school is not your decision." How do i get back in marching band? its the only thing i love about school and its where my friends are. (link)
|
He's trying to live through you. Happiness is essential to decisions. If you aren't happy or in to something and resent doing it then there's ZERO point in doing it. You won't gain from it.
He may have been a debate superstar but that doesn't mean it's your forte. If you don't feel comfortable doing it don't do it. Sign up for band. If he doesn't like you following your heart and gut so be it. You can't please everyone and sometimes that means a parent.
What you should do is tell him one last time that you know he enjoyed the debate club in high school but that public speaking freaks you out, you aren't good at it and have no interest and will not be joining it. Illustrate your love for marching band and talent for it
If he doesn't understand have the marching band or other teacher you trust for that matter intervene and talk to them about where you seem most comfortable. Also there may be a way to juggle all three things if your teachers can pull that off for you. Something to think about. He shouldn't force something upon you. That's wrong and bad parenting in this instance.

I told my mom that I watch this show called the fosters on abc . I'm 13 and it's probably not a show they would approve of cause of lebian thing but I kinda like the show and I'm only watching it because my friend recommended it to me. So what should I do because I don't know what to say if they bring it up when I already told them its because of my friend. Plus it's not really a bad show. (link)
| |
You aren't the director or screenwriter of the show so aren't responsible for content. It won't come back on you or the friend if they dislike it. If they don't enjoy it they don't enjoy it. even if it's mentioned it will be mentioned once and dropped. No big deal. Relax.

I met this girl online. She says she's 15. She seems like a normal teenage girl. I use fake pictures because I don't want to use my real ones, but I do use my real first name. She has asked me when my birthday was and how old I was but not like "out of the blue" or anything. We were just on that subject.
I do think I'm safe, and I'll tell you why: I don't use my real pictures, she does seem like a regular teenage girl, she's mentioned her family a few times, and I've seen her like twice. I know it could be anyone, and that the internet isn't exactly "safe", but should I make something up just in case? (link)
|
You need not have lied or sent fake pictures. That was wrong. All you needed to do to protect yourself is NOT give your state, country, location or details about your family beyond that you have parents and X number of siblings and no names.
As far as birthday and age the person may have asked to know if you are the same age or out of curiosity and not for anything nefarious. You could say " I am 15" and born in October. That should be okay.
As far as pictures go you should have said for safety reasons my parents have told me not to send those. They should understand but if they didn't it may be a sign that they aren't who you think they are.
Remember if anything doesn't feel right to you that all you must do is tell your parents, log the e-mails and address and stop talking to them and let adults deal with the situation especially if it really crossed the line or seems predatory.
You probably have met an online friend the same age but like anything else treat that person like you would a stranger and what you wouldn't tell someone you didn't know or share when people you didn't know were also in the elevator. You should be fine that way.

I'm new to cheer and I don't know what to get my secret sister. Can anyone help me?? (link)
|
Do you know what she likes having been near her or friends? If not try and find teammates that know her well and what she is into. As long as you don't tell her who you've got I doubt there is any trouble in asking them.
You could try chocolates, books, gift-cards for the movies etc etc. as long as it's not too expensive. Ask your parents or coach what they think this person would like or benefit from and or trust your gut instincts.

I'm going to summer camp (first time) for two weeks, not allowed electronics. It's a camp where I will be sharing a cabin with eight girls my age (14-15) and doing activities like canoeing, kayaking, arching, music etc. what do you suggest I pack? and what do you suggest I bring to stay entertained during free time? (link)
|
You should have a water bottle with you at all times because of heat. Make sure you have your own sunscreen too to avoid burns and perhaps Aloe Vera or Solarcaine products if you do get burned. Beyond that the advice below is solid once you add toiletries.
Pack clothes you feel most comfortable in if it's really hot, books, playing cards etc. The Mad Libs idea is a great one. Odds are with eight girls 14-15 and all those activities there won't be much downtime to begin with.
Don't bring the whole game with you but try finding a pop culture trivia game or Scene IT and bring only the cards. You can make a game out of guessing correct answers with others provided they know about the kind of things on the cards.

My cousin is making me feel really uncomfortable. Today we went to my uncles house to watch the soccer match (FIFA 2014) so I was feeling ok. I went to my cousin and asked him a favor if he could download me a movie and pass it to my USB. He said ok so I went upstairs with him and at first he acted all right he asked how i was at school...... Then all of sudden he grabbed my waist pulled me to him closer each time and started touching my back softly! Then he grabbed my hand and kissed it and started like touching my back again it felt disgusting! He asked me if I feel uncomfortable and of course I said YES! Then he left and I just stood there feeling Ughh ! I don't want to tell my parents! Please what else can I do? Help me!

You may not want to tell your parents but it is the responsible and only action to take. They will NOT be angry with you as you are faultless here and a victim. It's clear the guy has a BIG problem and needs intervention. He could be doing this to other people be them family or not. By saying something you end this potential cycle. He mus be dealt with before he victimizes others or tries with you.

I've recently noticed that I often cry in my dreams.. Sometimes I can tell I was crying while I was sleeping as well, because there are dry tears on my face. This morning I was really tired because I wake up at 5 every morning for really no reason and I fell asleep (is this a problem?). Usually when I cry in my sleep I dream about being late for something, and whenever I'm late for something in real life, I start crying. I don't get why I would be dreaming about this because school is over now. I'm very shy and I get depressed a lot, so is that maybe why it happens? So, what does it mean when I cry in my sleep? Is there any way I can keep it from happening? Thank you for reading..please help me. (link)

Dreams are nothing more than thought pictures that cannot harm you in any way. They are your fears and anything you are thinking about or stewing over in real life. Your brain is always on even when you sleep. That's all you are dealing with is your own thought that you haven't chucked.
As far as being depressed goes see a psychiatrist and get their support to overcome the problem. You don't have to be crazy to see one and you aren't but medication and treatment may make you feel a ton better.

I'm 19, female, junior in college. All of my college friends live in different states and my parent's don't trust me enough to drive there so I told them I was visiting my old roommate who is living at school this summer for a job and I actually drove to Jersey to visit my one friend there. As I was leaving Jersey to go back to Pennsylvania I had to go through a toll on 202. I was in the EZ pass lane and had tried to get into the payment lane but could not so I went through the EZ pass lane and I didn't have an EZ pass. I'm terrified they're gonna send me a letter telling me that I need to pay which would be totally fine but my parents are going to see that I didn't really go where I said I was going. How can I ensure that I take care of this so they don't send me a letter? Is there any place I can call or something to let them know? If not, I guess I just have to intercept the mail.
Thank you! (link)
|
They have your license plate number recorded the moment you enter and leave the lane. If you didn't pay they send you a notice to who the car is registered to and instructions on how to deal with the violation.
Your car if you had EZ Pass (according to NY State) would have to have the pass and or a transponder in the vehicle to read billing info in order to use the lane from what I read.
I'm not American. Where I am from they use a transponder system. You put one on your windshield by the rear-view mirror and it records where you get on and off. Then you get a monthly bill. If you don't have a transponder they record your rear license plate.
In other words they will be sending a ticket of some sort here about violating the toll to the registered owner of the vehicle. If that's you than you're okay if it's your parents you need to come clean.
It's better they know before it arrives than after. Tell them you screwed up by deciding to go to New Jersey on your own to visit people and how easy it was to screw up entering the toll lane and that you will face the consequences for the violation and anything else.
You need to come clean as it's a strike against whomever the car is registered to. If they can't prove their car wasn't in Jersey or try to dispute the violation without facts..It's not good. You can't intercept the mail as it would all come back to the registered owner to deal with. You can't call anyone either.

I have been best friends with this boy since year 7 and I am now in year 10 at school he's just turned 15 and I'm 14, I have liked him for a long time now and I've done nothing about it. He's made it perfectly clear he just wants to be best friends. But I can't help but like him sometimes my feelings go away but then they come straight back. I've tried not talking to him but I just miss him too much and now I just don't know what to do anymore, do you have any ideas on what I could do? (link)
|
The thing is you can't control what his reaction is or if he is attracted to you. What you can control is whether or not to let these pent up feelings drive you nuts without an answer.
If you have known him for four years or longer and will be friends no matter what then go for the truth. There's NOTHING to fear or be ashamed of. Tell him you can't shake the feeling that you really do love and care for him and that all you really wanted was to try and see if a relationship would work.
If he says no than at the very least you will be able to get the truth out and still maintain a friendship. You might find if you talk to him openly that he may now be interested and or fears losing the friendship if something didn't work out. I think that's his whole thing that once you did go out a friendship could go wrong if the relationship soured. Talk to him. Find out.

So what happened was I yelled at my sister because I was trying to get undressed and she wouldn't leave me alone, then my dad put his finger on my head and told me to stop screaming like I'm the parent or he'll smash my head. After that I went in my room and I didn't make any noise and when I try to talk no noise came out and when I did get words to come out I started breathing heavily and covered my mouth and cried a bit. Note this isn't the first time my dad has done something like what he said to me. He's done worse. But it didn't affect me much until now. I try to do stuff like read things then my voice gets lower, and lower, and quicker. (link)

That's the thing the abuse does affect you but it usually gets buried and repressed by you. Then when something happens again it comes to the surface and does more harm on-top of the fresh helping. This time the abuse triggered these memories and a physical reaction. There's only so much crap one can take.
I don't give a shit (pardon my language) who your father thinks he is. Nothing you have or haven't done should bring him to threaten smashing your head in. He's got a lot of issues to deal with if he's doing this consistently and causing a lot of damage with his behavior.
It would be in your best interest to tell an adult you trust be it someone related to you or not or a teacher about the verbal abuse and threats going too far. They need to help you find some counseling and to get him help as well. Be brave about this. A mental-health professional needs to help you work through this and get anything you have buried beneath the surface out and dealt with. I'm afraid to ask you quite frankly what the " he's done worse" means. If it's physical harm the truth about it needs to come out immediately to someone you trust. Your family needs help.

I have a corn snake who is around 6 months old i have had him from a hatchling with the mother what worries me is hes got a small bump on his head which has been there from birth it is about 3-5cm i was just wondering if anyone can tell me what causes it before i take him to a specialist thank you for any advice (link)
|
I would take him to a specialist or call a reptile zoo like Reptillia based in Canada. They would know what to do. We aren't in the least bit reptile experts.
Unfortunately I doubt you will find the correct answer here. The snake really needs to be seen for people to notice what you are describing in words. Also if it had it from birth and there have been no problems that's likely a good sign.

Hello i am shivani a student my chemistry teacheralways gibes a smile towords me & he touched my hand 3times accidentally he look at me for long time while teaching
And sometime he ignore me is he flirting with me or i thinl much more (link)

Perhaps he was looking at you because he wanted to see if you were focusing on him like you should when he's addressing the class. Maybe he wasn't looking at you at all or intentionally. If someone accidentally bumps into you or your hand a few times it means nothing. Nothing is going on here that shouldn't be. You're making it more than it is in all honesty.

18/f
I want to stay the night this weekend at my boyfriends house.
My boyfriend has commented recently that I never go to his place (20 mins by train) but he always makes the effort to come to mine.
We've never stayed over at each others homes before. We've been dating for 7 months.
My mum is pretty strict. Whenever I even suggest that my boyfriend wants me to come to his house just for the day, she'll say "Well I'd prefer it if she came here for the day"
But I can't allow this anymore because it's making my boyfriend upset and his family think I don't like them.
How do I encourage my mum to let me stay over at his house? I mean his parents will be there, I'll bring a sleeping bag, I know I'll be safe but she is highly overprotective! (link)
|
I would explain the situation to your boyfriend and his parents about it being an issue with your mom and her thinking that you'll use it as an excuse to do something you shouldn't.
Have them speak to your mother about this visit being supervised and nothing more than you visiting his house like he would yours. However, his house is farther away making sleeping there necessary.
Your mom is concerned you're going there to lets be honest about it sleep with him. As long as you and everyone else can make her sure this won't happen maybe she will change her stance.
Then again, at 18-years-old you are legally an adult and can make your own decisions by law that your mother may or may not agree with. At 18 it's time for her to realize you are a grown woman and can be trusted to do the right thing in all situations.

I lost my best friend, she is insanely mad at me, and the whole thing is over. Like, the thing passed and there is no reason to be mad at me anymore, how do I get over it, because these days have been very depressing. How? (link)
|
It would help us better to know what she is angry at you for and for how long. If this is something recent and over it may still take time for hurt feelings to adjust. If you have been friends for a long time I'm sure she will come around. It may suck but perhaps giving her space and more time will help.
You could approach her and tell her you know you upset her with whatever your actions were. Tell her you value her friendship and would like to talk things out and make the situation right. Perhaps if she sees your sincerity it may make a difference. It's all in her court really with what she thinks but at least you can show her where you stand.

My face acne is bad, & I was wondering if anyone would know the best acne cure. Comment below. (link)
|
Definitely NOT anything over the counter especially if it's a really bad and consistent case. For this you need to see a family doctor. They can give you prescription cream and often have samples that eats away at what causes the acne.
Nothing that doesn't have prescription strength drug in it will be able to handle the issue effectively. If your doctor feels the case needs referring to a specialist a dermatologist will assess you and start treatment.

I am a 25 year old female and I don't know what's wtong with me. I akready go to pineland 3 says a week on meds and I am still having problem s with my mental health. I am real emotional all time like for instance one minute ill be all hyper and happy and the next I will be agitated and ready to come unglued over every little thike like for instance I came home from pineland to find that my niece had stuff all over my bed and I snapped but stugf lack that dosnt usually bother me and I bursted into tears anf told her to get out of my site. Why would I cry over something like that. When I was in group today and I was reading some material I noticed that I kept getting lost in mid sentence and the sentenceskept running together and couldn't concentrate. Like I said I am already on celexa f or anxiety and depression and I am on adderall for adhd but why am I getting mad so easy because I've never had problems with anger before and ehy does my moods keep switching like a light switch that's never happened and for the past month I have been crying for ehat seems to be no reason at all why? (link)

We aren't doctors but having experience with the mental health system I can tell you one thing is for sure. You MUST talk to your psychiatrist pronto and tell him/her or the group leader for your mental health program exactly what you told us.
From experience I can say that your dosages of medication are either way off (in terms of to little/too much of something) and or are not working properly to treat your particular illness.
You need to be straight up with your doctor about what has been happening recently and how hellish it has been. They can make changes that will work for you and get you feeling a lot better. Don't fear this as it happens with everyone at the start. Things need fine tuned.
Another key thing you need to do is keep a record. Every day before bed write out the date and in detail everything you felt that was positive or negative in terms of illness and keep looking to find a pattern of these up and down moods, anxiety etc etc. and bring that record into the doctor as it will guide them in figuring out how your moods and illness is cycling. Been there. It's rough but when they sort it out life becomes normal again.

hey, am a highschool senior ,i want to ask you about what i should do about this boy which i love very much and he also does love me. i know that beacuse he asked me to be his girlfriend by his friend way back before but i said no at that time, beacuse am not able to have a boyfriend beacuse am not old enough. now am 17 years old but am still not able to do so, and my parents would kill me too,and going behind their back is not an option beacuse i will die of guilt, so since then no one knows i love him just me, am pretending that i don't love him but i don't know what to do any more beacuse its killing me inside, the amazing thing is we talk not in school but by e-mail as normal classmates and what i hate about talking to him by e-mail is that it will make it more awkward when we see each other in school beacuse we dont talk in school as normal classmates for the reason that our friends will make fun of us. so am feeling bad everyday after school beacuse i didn't get a chance to talk to him as my classmate, some of it is my fault beacuse i dont also treat him as one of my other classmates and he is so afraid of me even to say"hi" so i don't know what to do. if you have any advice for me i will be happy to take any of your suggestions thank you!!! (link)

Ordinarily I would tell people never to defy or hide a thing from parents. However, in a few months you are legally an adult. By law you can make your own decisions then.
The question is what is it they are objecting to about you having a relationship especially when you are virtually an adult? I would tell them that you know they don't like the idea of it but that so-and-so is a great person.
Introduce them to him and his parents and make them aware of how many years you both have felt the same but couldn't act. I think they'll get it then.
As far as death by feelings of guilt it's not possible. Sure you feel bad but if you know something is right and justified... It's your decision but if your heart says you need to tell him and act on this I would stop denying it.
Your parents can always learn to change their perception once they see the relationship is healthy. I would at your age do what feels right and deal with whatever their reaction may be later as you're an adult.
You can't control what they will think but you can control being miserable for not doing what you heart says is correct. Teens needs to form relationships and learn from them. It's healthy.
