advice

Have you ever felt like theres just to much going on in your life? Like im just so mentally exhausted..its goes from school, to cheerleading tryouts, to soccer, to work, to cleaning my dads house...and constantly getting bitched at for being to tired to do anything productive. I love everything i do i love the sports im in.. i hate my job but ihave to pay for my car..and tryouts is worrying the shit out of me...i mean im getting so stressed out. Im tired all the time and i kinda hit a depression. I know what everyones gonna say is that i need to quit one of those things but i dont want to quit i just want to find a way to relax and feel better. Any advice?

mn731's idea is a good one. I'd also like to suggest that if you can't take a whole day off or you find it doesn't help much, take some time off every day. No matter how busy your schedule is, you can find an hour someplace to just sit there and do nothing. At first it'll be awful. You'll decide to take an hour off and be watching tv or trying to take a nap, and all you'll be able to think about is how you're not getting anything done. You'll feel really guilty about it. After a few days though, it'll start to sink in that hey, I feel so much better. Plus, it's only an hour, you will be able to get everything done that you were planning on doing. I would also like to comment on how one of your activities was cleaning your dad's house? Would it be possible for you to take a week off of that? That would help a lot too. It'd give you time to catch up with yourself. Anyways, I hope that you find something that helps! Good luck. :)

ok tell me if this is sluty:short shorts a grey cami with a black zip up sweatshirt and hoop earrings please help (and advice on changes are welcome)

Sounds fine to me. Slutty is more of an attitude than a wardrobe. If you don't strut around and act like you're trying to show off your body nobody will think it's slutty. The outfit would probably fall more towards the "classy" category. Hoop earrings can be viewed as slutty, but that really depends on what type of hoops they are. If they're an inch or so that's fine, but 2 or more inches might push it over the edge. Color and material with hoops matter too. Silver or gold might be a little too flashy and shouldn't be thick or very large at all, while bright colors like teal or purple could be a little gaudy, but would be better thicker and would be okay larger. It all depends on what your style is, whether it's something you wear a lot or whether you're trying something totally new. If it's a new look for you, be careful. If not, you're golden. Anyway, it sounds like a really cute outfit, have fun! :)

the beginging of this school year and all summer mostly i was pretty depressed.it was a 24/7 thingg. noww im at a point of where, if im ever tired, i feel anxious, sad, nervous, scared, depressedd... i hateee itt. but whenever im awake and hyperr, i couldnt be any happierr and im soo much fun to be around. I dont like this, i cant control it, one second im in the best mood ever possible then i steep down to the lowest. i always cry so easily tooo. I just want to know if there is something wrong with me, and how to act upon it..besides getting proffesional help, i dont need that. thanks

It could be normal mood swings, but without actually knowing you, it's hard to tell the severity from the info you've given. You don't need to go running to a psychologist, but why not bring it up to your doctor the next time you go in? Your doctor would have a much better idea of what was going on. Please don't rule out professional help altogether either. You could have something like bipolar disorder and if you do, getting help could improve your life more than you can imagine. Realistically, nobody on here can help you other than give you false hope and maybe make you feel a little too comfortable and convince you that you don't need to do anything about your problem. You really should. If it wasn't that big of a deal you wouldn't have asked for help here. Take the next step and make sure that it's not too serious for your own health and safety. Good luck. :)

ok, theres this girl I really really really like, but I don't kno if she likes me that much though because she has told me im cute and funny and stuff, but I think that she likes this other guy. I dont rly kno y, but I have that feeling, u kno wat I mean. So I need some ways to make her like me more over this one guy, and ways to find out if she really likes him?

If she likes him, she likes him. She's not gonna get over that so there's nothing you can really do. You'll only be in trouble if he likes her back, which he prolly doesn't, well as much as you anyway. Just focus on getting her to like you and want to date you. Don't think about the other guy at all. If she uses him as an excuse or brings him up, don't try to turn her from him, just keep stressing how much you like her and how she'll never get that from him no matter how much she wishes for it to happen. Put the focus totally on you and she will too. The very best, almost guaranteed, way to get her to like you over anyone else is to show her how much you like her. Girls love to be loved more than anything else. If she'd never noticed you before in her life and she heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that you liked her, she'd suddenly, in her mind at least, become very interested in you. Make it perfectly clear that you like her. Flirt, be sweet to her, whatever it is you do. Good luck! :)

Alright. This isn't quite as bad as the title makes it sound. I am 22/f and over Christmas while I was home I ended up running into my high school math teacher. He was only a year or two out of school when I was in high school. We had a pretty good conversation and I was talking a lot about my school, stress and thesis and he was funny and offered great advice. Anyways He sent me a really nice e-mail over the weekend (apparently he got my e-mail from another teacher I still stay in touch with) and asked me how was going, wished me the best and asked me if I’d like to get together for coffee or dinner when I'm finished.

So, he isn’t that much older then me, but it still seems a little awkward to agree to a date with someone who taught me. I think he is, at most, seven years older then me, but I want to know what other people think. Would be acceptable to go to dinner with him? I would really like too...

It's definitely acceptable. You'd just be going as friends. It doesn't have to be anything else if you are uncomfortable with that for now or for always. Have a great time! :)

im new at archery and i don't shoot animals but is it necessary to raplace vanes/fletching on your arrows if they start to rip? can ripped vanes mess up may shots?

Yes! It's necessary. The arrows might not shoot straight if you don't! They can seriously veer off to the side. It's pretty dangerous to have any imperfections in your arrows or your bow. Make sure you wax the string a lot too. :)

My brother and I dont have the greatest relationship in the world. I just turned 16, and he will be 12 very soon. the reason we dont get along is that we lose patience with each other, or we just want to annoy one another. I love him very much, i dont know if he loves me, but we do get along from time to time. this is just some background information.

Ok, so my brother is homeschooled, and was homeschooled for three years. he is in sixth grade. I am homeschooled too, for four years, but i am gonna go to school next year for my junior year. (i am in 10th grade right now).i am an extremely social person and all of my friends go to school.

well, everybody know that homeschoolers can turn into these wierd kids, ones that dont know how to socialize, etc. well, my brother is a bit behind on the maturity level.

the reason this worries me is that both of us are going to go to school next year. My brother (who wil go on to middle school, seventh grade) will have a great shock at how much more mature, or umm... different, everyone else is from him. i am afraid he wont find any friends, and that he will be the outcast and miserable.

in my opinion, his maturity level is that of a 3rd grader. his social skills are that of a first grader. these are some of the things he does:


he has a stuffed animal of an whale that he gaurds with his life, takes it with him everywhere, but he leaves it in the car when he goes to public places. he named the toy whailey.

he plays with legos, bionicles, etc. he is actually pretty advanced at building things.. my mom buys him kits made for adults sometimes: he is very smart. school smart.

he cries. a lot. it is EXTREMELY easy to make him cry.

he has no idea what sex is. (he knows what reproduction is, but only "a baby forms when sperm from a man meets an egg from a woman". thats as far as it goes)

he insists on wearing his jeans at his belly button.

he is greatly apalled when someone swears. then he runs to me and asks me if the word was a swear word, and becomes obsesed with retelling everyone how someone swore, etc.

he cannot talk on aim. like he doesnt get the concept of lol, all he can do is say the sky when you ask him wuts up (very clever... for a preschooler)



anyways you get the picture. i am really truly worried about him. i tried discussing it with him but he just doesnt get it. usually he throws a tantrum before i get to finish.

he does socialize, although not very much. like he is exposed to only five or six people a day that are his age: he does gymnastics, and they are the same people every day, and he is not exactly close friends with them. (they are actually ten to elleven years old)




anyways, what should i do about my brother to help prepare him for social situations at school? i will not be geting any support from my mom because she believes that he is school smart, and that is all that counts. in fact she sees nothing wrong with my brother. i dont know about my dad, but it would be rather akward approaching him on the subject.

at home treatments please (lol but we both have busy schedules and doing things like get togethers for him is out of the question)


oh ya i forgot to say. all my friends little brothers are alot more mature than my brother, so i do have something to base my comparison on.

sorry its so long... any feedback would be very appreciated!!!

It's so wonderful of you to be so worried about him, but he's a smart kid, he'll adjust. I do have a suggestion though, that could help a lot. Do you know any boys his age that are really nice and would be willing to help your brother out? One of your friend's younger brothers or something? He would listen to someone like that much more than he'd listen to you. Just talk to the kid beforehand, tell him the problems your brother has, and have him try to give your brother the advice that you are trying to give. It would give him a start with at least someone he knew before he went to school and it might help the shock factor a little if he was exposed to boys his age before he was thrown into a school environment. Another idea, if that one doesn't work, is to introduce him to a few boys that aren't so nice. Not mean ones, just the normal type. It would be better than the hundreds of kids he'd have to face at school on the first day. Even if he reacts really badly to this it would at least open his eyes to what might be in store for him and hopefully, open him up to you and the advice that you so want to give him. Good luck and remember that even if he has a horrible first year at school, things will get much better for him and it's good that he's exposed to this now instead of later.

Usually I go on a special diet when I need/want to loose a few pounds.
I decided to do my usual diet and start actually working out.
Meaning; lifting weights,working on abs,doing more muscle building machines.
After I started doing that, instead of loosing weight ive been gaining it.
Usually, I dont gain weight that easily because I didnt go off my diet[that much haha].
Do you think Im gaining weight because of my eating habits or is it muscle?
Ive gained like 3 pounds.
tHanks!

If you're a guy it's muscle. Don't worry about it. I'm sure you look great. If you're a girl, it could be muscle, which is also great, but it could be something else. Girls naturally gain weight as their bodies mature throughout their teenage years. There's nothing you can do about it and please don't think that you're less attractive because of it. You're actually much more so. Keep in mind too, that any weight gain or loss less than 5 pounds is insignificant. Your weight can vary up to 5 pounds on any given day. 3 pounds doesn't mean a thing. :)

I like this boy who has a girlfriend.
We know eachother very well, we even had sex and stuff many times[dont lecture me on that please]
His friend told me 2 times that he likes me but doesnt want me to know.
He likes his girlfriend and me alot,says his best friend who doesnt seem like a liar.
He usually walks by my class ,and i thought that was only because his girlfriends class is right near mine.
He full well knew she wasnt going to be there for a few days and he still walked by and he knows my class is right there because we like stare eachother down.
I dont know if Im just thinking things or what.

If he really liked you he wouldn't be with another girl. He probably just thinks you're attractive and loves that you would have random sex with him. Stay away from this creep. He doesn't care about you at all. Even if he did break up with his girfriend for you, he's a cheater. He didn't just make out with you, he had sex with you, several times. If he's cheating with you now, he won't feel any qualms about cheating on you either. That's not something you want. He's just a horny jerk that wants you for your body. He really doesn't like you and it would be a horrible choice to persue any type of relationship with him.

why do girls shake their legs?
im sitting in class and im looking around and five of he girls in my class arre shaking their legs really fast
why do they do this?

I used to do that when I was sitting in class. I'm a very active person and sitting for long periods of time isn't something I, or my body enjoys. Some people do it purposely when they're bored, but excess energy or adrenaline can make you do it involuntarily. You'll probably see it the most from athletic people. It's not just a girl thing. It is a common myth that people do it because they are horny or because they masturbate a lot. That's just complete nonsense.

(Before I start I'm 18 and a freshman in college.) I was in a exclusive relationship about 8 months ago. It ended badly and I ended up getting hurt. My boyfriend of 1 year cheated on me, more than once. Anyways ever since then, I'v only had casual relationships, not sex I just wouldn't exclusively date one guy at a time. I met this one guy in class, after we were assigned in pairs for a project. And I started to like him. A lot. And I knew he liked me too, because he was flirting with me and walking me to classes ect. I was taking a walk outside when it was raining (Don't ask me why I just like the rain)and he came up to me when I was sitting on the bench. He said he saw me and wanted to know what I was doing sitting on a campus bench in a rainstorm. By that time it was raining really hard.(Before I go any farther he asked me out twice by then, but he was a boyfriend kind of guy and didn't do casual anymore, so I turned him down) I said I was just going for a walk, and he sat down beside me. We talked for a while in the pouring rain, and then he leaned over and kissed me. It turned into a pretty heavy make out session and I started thinking 'what the hell am I doing, I can't be his girlfriend I'm not gonna put myself in the position to be hurt again'. Anyways I pushed him away away and when he was about to say something I spoke before him. I said "I'm sorry, but this was a mistake, I can't do exclusive realationships, you know that" (Those were my exact words) Even though I really liked him I didn't want to get hurt again. I stood up ready to walk away when he caught my wrist, he said "You can't or you won't, why can't you give a relationship a fighting chance. I really like you, a lot more than you know and I know you feel the same. You and I both know It wasn't a mistake" and then I said "Thats where your wrong" and I walked off. He called my name but didn't try to stop me again. I'v been avoiding him for the last few days, and he's called my cell phone a million times. I don't know what to do, I really really like him. He's sweet, funny, gorgeous, caring, honest (I could go on but I'll spare you)I know he's not my ex but I'm just scared. Scared of what I feel for him and scared I'll get hurt again. When we were kissing everything felt so right. I felt safe and loved and not lost anymore. He's offering me a real relationship, a healthy realtionship. But should I take the chance? What should I do? Is the ball in my court?

Yes, yes, yes. Take the chance! What he told you is exactly right. You're letting your heart tell you what to do when you should be using your head. Be smart about this. Trying it out with him makes so much sense doesn't it? If he is everything you say he is, he definitely deserves a chance. You're going to have to start dating again sometime, why not start with a guy that's as amazing as him? You're all the wiser about things now that your previous relationship ended so badly. The longer you wait, the harder it's going to be. I know you were really hurt by your ex, but (not being mean here) so what! People get hurt in relationships. If you can't get over that, you're going to end up really lonely in the future. Every single relationship puts you in a position to be hurt. Are you planning on being single for the rest of your life? If you are, way to go, you're well on your way. Don't think that one day, out of the blue, you'll be ready to date again. You won't. Make the day today. Why not? It'll be just the same if you wait longer. You're going to have to take a few risks at some point. Now is a wonderful time. This guy is very low risk. You may get hurt again, but you'll get over it. Feelings will mend, you know that, but time won't wait for you. It can hurt BAD for a long time sometimes, however, if you just end with that bad experience, it will take you much, much longer to get over it. It will be all you think about and you won't be able to move on. You'll miss out on so many great opportunities. You'll get too comfortable always playing it safe and soon you'll be out of college, have a job, turn 40, and you still won't have started dating again. Get out, find someone else and your feelings will be whole again in much less time. Not to mention, you won't have missed your chance with someone amazing. It took me....about a year to forgive a guy for what he did to me once and that was while I was in a relationship with someone else. Now, I'm actually very good friends with him. It was a little awkward still having feelings for that guy when I was with someone else, but that's life and I got through it. I knew it was something I had to do to get where I wanted to be in the future. So be patient. Think towards the future instead of the past. The best advice I can give you is to not let your feelings run your mind. Feelings will come and they will go. If you lose your chance with this guy you're going to look back to that moment when you ran away from him and you're going to wonder what the hell you were thinking. Fact is, you weren't thinking. You were just feeling. Now (college) is the time where you could meet the man you will marry someday. You're 18 years old. Soon you'll be 20. A lot of people are engaged by their early 20's. High school relationships, well they're practically meaningless. All you can get out of them is experience with the dating world. What to say, how to do things, etc. Very few of them work out and the people in them aren't emotionally mature enough to fully understand what's even going on. They feel instead of think. So, basically, they have all these feelings, but have no idea what they are or how to deal with them. That's actually a scientific fact. Now, though, you're an adult and your mind is mature enough for for adult relationships. You may even have been ready for that with your ex, but he wasn't. The guy you're talking about now definitely is. He's not looking for a relationship, he's looking for you. Adult relationships are very different from teen relationships. You won't feel as much hurt if they don't work out. Breakups will be more mutual and understanding. You're much less likely to be randomly cheated on. Especially with this guy. He really loves you. Whether he's said it or not yet, he does. You can't ask for more than that. If he was the type of person that would purposely hurt you, he would not be so patient with you. He wouldn't want to be with you so badly. This guy is your lucky break. If he hasn't given up on you yet for someone else that's saying something. The next time he calls listen to what he has to say. Try it out with him. Talk with him about everything you are feeling. He will listen and he will help you through it. He's that type of guy, which is exactly what you need right now. Don't let your feelings screw this up for you. He's there right now. He may not be there tomorrow, or again, ever, for the rest of your life. So basically, either date him now or give up on relationships altogether because he is perfect for you at this point in your life. Good luck.

Ok so me and my friend have been arguing over an hour about popping your cherry. Does it happen only once, or can it happen more than that?

It can happen more than once if you don't have sex for a long time. Nothing actually bursts. That's why the "cherry" analogy is so stupid. What happens is, the first time you have sex, things get stretched out and torn and bleeding can occur. If you don't have sex for awhile, you can tighten up and you might experience bleeding again. If you're referring to the hymen being broken, that can only happen once, but it usually happens long before you have sex for the first time.

15, boy

I think out of all of my friends, I'm probably the only one that hasn't had a girlfriend. Is that weird? I'm a really independent person and I'm not really into any girls. It's almost like there isn't anyone worth going out with at school. I'm also pretty picky so it feels like I have no chance.

When people would ask me why I didn't have a girlfriend, my usual response was that I was so busy and didn't have time for that stuff, or that no one would really like me that much. I mean, I really don't know if any girl would want to go out with me. I'm really tall for my age, I'm in marching band, I'm one of 3 guys on my swim team, and I run track. I get really good grades as well, so basically I'm the typical nerd, or thats what people say. haha.

Most of my friends have had girlfriends before, and they usually end in as a train wreck. They always tell me that I'm not missing out on anything, but sometimes I'd like to know what it's like. Is it really as great as some people say, or is it just a waste of time?

You're just fine. However, I wanna give you some words of warning. You say you're picky. Now is not a time to be picky. It's a time to experiement. If you've never dated anyone before, how can you really know what you want? I didn't date until I was 18. I have had a lot of problems with that. Those silly, meaningless high school relationships that end in "train wrecks" are actually a postive thing. They help you grow and learn about love, life, and what you really want from it all. I'm not saying go out and date a bunch of random girls just for the heck of it. Just try not to have the attitude you do about dating. Be open to it and work towards getting there. I had the same exact attitude as you have now when I was younger and it turns out that being smart about relationships when you're a teen isn't the smartest choice. Make mistakes, be young, and you'll grow up a whole lot faster. When you finally do find that girl that you know is the one, you'll know what to do so you don't lose her. You'll know what she wants and you'll be able to give it to her. She isn't going to be patient if you're totally lacking in experience. So, high school relationships are great while they last, suck even more when they end, but they are not a waste of time in any way. They will help you immensely in becoming the man you want to be. As much as you can get hurt over them, they help you more than you can imagine. Good luck. :)

I feel really guilty about this, and I already know that I made multiple horrible mistakes dealing with this, and doing what I did is so unlike who I really am...

I met this guy at camp last summer, and I can't explain it, this guy so didn't seem like my type, hewas younger, but we really hit it off, and the last night of camp, I lost my virginity to him. The next day, my youth leader wouldn't let us get away from our group because she didn't want to have to track us down. So I didn't get his phone number, his email address, nothing before we left.

So I get back home and everything seems to go fine, and I am about to head off to my first semester of college...and then I find out that I am pregnant. Since I didn't have any way to contact him, I knew he wouldn't be able to help me out, and so I made a really hard choice and went to a clinic, and took the pill. I feel awful about it now...it was the worst thing that I've ever done.

So I'm on facebook the other day, and a friend request came up...it was him! His high school and my college's spring breaks are at the same time, and it's too far off the way that my friends and I are going to Panama City Beach to go by his town, so I am going to see him on the way.

But I don't know if I can look him in the eye and not tell him that we would've had a child together had I not done what I did. But I don't know how he will take it if I do tell him. I remember when we were having small group discussions at our camp he said he was very pro-life because he was Catholic, even though he wasn't a practicing Catholic. I don't know what to do about it when I see him. What do you think?

The only mistake you made was having sex with him in the first place. You definitely shouldn't have done it at camp. You probably didn't use protection. You weren't ready to deal with the consequences. All that together, well, it's just one mistake that you'll never make again. So many people make that very same mistake. It's really easy to. I think that after the mistake, you did the right thing. You handled it really well. I'm against abortions to a point, but hey, it's not like you're sleeping around or having sex just for the hell of it. You made an honest mistake and in your situation, I may have done the same exact thing. The first thing you need to do is realize that even if it does hurt, you did do the right thing. You had no way of contacting the guy, you weren't ready to be a mother at all, and you didn't want to jeopardize your future. How would you have gone to college if you'd kept the baby? It would be so hard. As would the life of your child. Growing up with a young, single mother isn't the type of life anybody wants. So, my first bit of advice is to not be so hard on yourself. You really did do the right thing. For everyone. It takes a strong person to do something like that and I have a lot of respect for you for being able to make such a decision. I think that you should see a counselor about this. It could help a lot. There are probably ones you can see for free at the health center of your college. You can really benefit from something like that. Having been through what you have is a hard thing. You're dealing with it great, but seeing a counselor could really help you get past it. When you see the guy again, don't bring all this up. Rekindle a friendship with him first. Don't let your feelings for him get you into a relationship with him too quickly. Getting to know him all over again and getting closer with him than you even were before (in a non-relationship way) will make telling him much easier. Just remember not to jump the gun. Stay in friendly contact with him and tell him in a few months. In person would be best. Sometime during the summer. Yeah, he's pro-life so who knows how he will take it, but he should know. If you tell him everything I think he will understand. It wasn't just your mistake, it was his mistake too. Even more so if he is extremely pro-life. Even if he doesn't understand, it'll feel good to get everything off your chest. You'll finally have some closure with this and be able to move on. After he knows, if he's okay with everything, and you want to, persue a relationship with him. I would be very careful about that though. Having been a camper myself and now a counselor at a camp, I've learned that most people are very different when they are at camp than they are in their lives outside of camp. At camp, you can be whoever you want to be. You can be free and fun and happy and not worry about anything. Outside of camp there are pressures. The pressure to conform, to act a certain way, to keep up a reputation. I've known the biggest jerks, creeps, and druggies to be complete sweethearts at camp. Camp just does something to you and can turn you into an entirely different person. Kind of like what happened in Grease. This guy will not be everything he was at camp. Don't expect him to be. I wish you the very best of luck and remember that no matter what happens, you are a wonderful person and you made the right decision. Nothing anybody says can change that.

okay i have one question. How can pornstars have so much sex and not seem to get diseases or pregnant?

They don't have random sex. It's not like porn stars are prostitutes. I'm sure everyone is tested constantly so they wouldn't be having sex with someone that had an STD. As for the pregnancy they are probably all on really good birth control pills or something of the like. A lot of the time in porn movies the people don't even actually have sex. If you do it right and are careful about it, sex is actually very safe.

i'm a 16 year old paranoid female. a couple of days ago a tiny bump (the size of a zit) appeared on my right breast. i didn't think much of it, but now there are a five on my left breast as well. they definitely aren't zits. they're harder and are all on my areolas. they don't hurt to the touch, but i have no idea what they could be. i'm scared, but i don't want to blow it out of proportion if it's nothing big. somebody help, please. ): thank you.

They're supposed to be there. They're basically glands. You know, where the milk comes out after you have a kid. Don't pinch them and please don't see a doctor. Every female gets them. If you went to see a doctor you'd look really silly.

Ok is there a way I can NOT have bad breath in the morning other then like brushing every three hours? My class is going camping and I just have TERRIBLE breath in the morning. Not like normal which is just pretty bad but ok, just so bad. It's worse then a skunk! (seriously I smelled a skunk b4 and it didn't even smell that bad for me)

I think there are actually medicines you can get and stuff so the next time you go to the doctor ask about it. As for the camping trip, just bring some gum and start chewing as soon as you wake up. :)

Have a great time!

Ok I am 13 and have never kissed a guy before and a lot of people make fun of me for it and call me virgin lips. I am really sick of the names, but I normally ignore it. So anyways today my best friend asked this guy who had just recently asked me out if he was going to kiss me. He said he wasn't sure because he didn't want me to reject him for a kiss. My friend was like oh don't worry she wont she wants to kiss you, and he was like oh ok then I probably will kiss her. But this is our first date and I am not sure if it is too soon. Plus we are going to a hockey game with a group of people. All my friends are like kiss him under the bleachers thats so hot, but I am nervous. Any tips on kissing? And please don't respond to me kiss him when your ready or it will come naturally, because i have heard way to much of that. SO HELP ME PLEASE!!
Thanks,
Virgin Lips :(

My tips: Don't tell anyone about it. Don't do it in front of your friends. Don't feel pressured to do it so soon. Your first kiss should be special. Do it when it feels right. Don't turn it into a huge scene where you're sharing it with more than one person. The reason why you have heard those things so much (do it when it feels right, it comes naturally) is because they are true! There is no right way to kiss. Everyone has their own way of doing it and their own technique. The only, only, only way to learn how to do it is to do it. Some people may give you tips on what to do or how to do it, but that's just their style. You're not them. You're totally different and should have your own style. All you have to do is feel the moment, lean in, close your eyes, and kiss. It's not complicated. The more you think about it the worse of a kisser you will be. Spontaneous kissers are always better than kissers that have a plan in mind of what they're going to do. It took me a long time to become a good kisser and to enjoy it at all in any way because I was trying so hard. As Yoda would say...don't try. Just do it. It'll be fine. Remember too, that it's okay to be nervous and even apprehensive. Good luck! :)

Yesterday I talked to my dad about my depression and how it is affecting me. then he scheduled a appointment for me to see a psychiatrist which is tomorrow. When my mom found out she started to freak out and she told my dad that if i get help then the problem will be worse. then she told me that I was stupid to say anything. So now my parents are arguing and now I'm thinking that it was a mistake to ask for help. Was it okay that I asked for help and what will the psychiatrist do on the first day?

Your mom is probably just very surprised and worried about you. It's a tough thing when you find out that your child isn't happy and she hasn't had enough time to deal with it yet. Your parents will be fine soon enough. There was a slight lack of communication and they're upset about it, but that's all. You didn't do anything to hurt their relationship, don't worry. Asking for help was the absolute best, right thing to do. Great job. It can be really hard to do that. It's also great that your dad was so helpful and got you an appointment. You have really caring, wonderful parents. The Psychiatrist will probably just get you to talk about your life and your family and stuff on the first day. Good luck! You'll do just fine. :)
