I'm a fourteen year old girl from California. I'm a rabid liberal/feminist an a writer. I've been through cutting, and I'll try not to give bad advice. Ask me whatever you like . . . I'm not so good on romance questions, with a lack of any significant experience, but I'm good on everything else.

hi my best friends diched me for the popular gang , how can I get them back , they dont even talk to me now!!!!!! PLZ help Jenipher (link)
|
If they ditched you for the popular gang they were never very good friends.
If you still want to hang out with them, call them up on the weekend every once in a while, but make new friends.

It means to run around naked in a public place. It's illegal in the US, but I'm not sure about other places.

It's not your fault and they WILL NOT yell at you. Keep that in mind.
Just sit them down and tell them. Or, if that makes you really nervous, just tell one (say, your mum) and she'll tell your dad.

As far back as I can remember I have seen things that weren't there(i.e. people, birds and dogs nothing inanimate). These things never talk, they don't scare me or interact with me. I have never told anyone about this before so I don't know if anyone else sees these. I know this is some sort of mental thing, but does anyone have any idea what this actually is? It doesn't bother me but I would like to know what it is. Does anyone know? (link)

You should tell your parents and/or see a doctor or psychiatrist. I'm not sure, but I think it could be schizophrenia. It's something you should definately get checked out though.
|
|
I have a problem with conflicts, well you could say that. And whenever I feel really bad I cut..... It's hard for me to stop, because it brings out anger, I don't really know what to do, and I need help. (link)
|
Talk to someone you trust. If you don't think your parents can take it, talk to a friend first.
When you want to cut, try to distract yourself. Watch TV, read a book, play on the internet.
You should talk to a therapist. You need to tell your parents and they can see about finding you someone to talk to.

You worry me,
You’re face so dark and cold.
You must be ready to kill me.
This night is dark,
No one will notice this.
No one will care.
You wanted me to die for years.
You revealed it tonight,
The night of hell.
My night of torment was not like before,
So sweet and full of cheer
Your good mood turned into anger,
And it engulfed me,
This will never be the same as it was before,
You thought I was a toy for you to play with,
But I’m not a voodoo doll,
But so it seems I have acted as one for you.
My whole life was a lie,
The life I spent with you,
The one that was most precious to me.
My life was wasted on you,
Your face is the worst sight in the world.
If only I could trust you anymore,
We could live in a fairy tale.
But, your last lie to me,
Won’t make anything the same,
You said you would hold my hand through thick and thin,
But you never said torture and cruelty,
I’m an idiot to trust you.
Blood drips upon this paper as I write my last goodbye
Can't you see that all we ever had was but a lie
I sit here and wonder just how hard you tried
To sing me to sleep that night with your one cold lullaby
But to your pleasure it’s enough
Because you just heard the sound of my voice choke.
Ok, I know this was terrible, but please give me some feedback.

Very nice! The words sound great together, and you're a very talented writer. The poem has a very minor plot, which keeps the reader interested.
"The night of hell" line is the only thing that's not absolutely perfect. The rest is great.
Post it online somewhere besides here. I would recomment fictionpress.com, but I think poetry.com has some nice poetry contests.
edit - - - - - - - - - - -
I checked, and poetry.com has no age restrictions, so you're fine.
On the "night of hell" line - It's a good line, it just sounds too overdone where it is. Maybe take it out entirely and just make that first stanza short and save the line for another poem.

You're seventeen now, so you'll be eighteen and fully legal next year. Hang in there until then or until you go to college. Make sure you go to a far away out-of-state (or out-of-country) college.

offer to do the stuff that doesn't get done too often or that you know your parents don't like doing themselves. Organize the linen closet or a bookshelf, plant part of the grden for them. Talk to your parents to see what they need done, then bargain for money to do it.

My family expects me to be exactly like my cousin, "Sarah". Sarah's one of those preppy, popular girls, & I'm not even close to that. I have a few close friends & I'm more laid-back. Just because we look alike (we look like sisters), everyone expects us to act alike. I hate being compared to Sarah all the time & being expected to be like her. I don't want to be her shadow. How can I handle this? (link)
|
Whenever someone says "Why don't you ________ like Sarah?" or something along those lines, shrug and tell them that you don't because you're NOT Sarah. Don't be too sarcastic, as much as you think they deserve it, and do be polite.
If it gets to be too much of an issue, no one's paying attention to the fact that you don't like being compared to her and you're having a very difficult time handling it, talk to your parents and explain that you are a very different person from Sarah. Maybe if they watch what they say and don't compare you, the rest of your family will stop.

I'm going into the 9th grade this year. I'm looking forward to it, except for one part.. I have to ride the bus. I rode it in the 7th grade & part of the 8th grade. A bunch of the guys on the bus are total jerks. They harassed me & my friend & one guy even grabbed my friend's butt! And the bus driver doesn't give a crap about it. I dreaded going to school if I had to ride the bus that day. What can I do to prevent myself from riding the bus? I don't wanna be a victim of harassment anymore. (link)
|
Talk to your parents. You can either try to find other ways to get to school (like a carpool) or you could find ways to defend yourself. Maybe your parents can get you some pepper spray or you can arrange to sit in the front of the bus.
Also, don't be afraid to raise a fus just to keep from being embarassed. Slap the guys if they try to touch you innappropriately, and ALWAYS go on the bus with friends to help you raise said fuss.
Also, maybe the same guys won't be on the bus, in which case you'll be fine!

I kind of like one of my guy friends... He's a year younger than me, but I feel like there's lots of chemistry between us. He even admitted that he likes me as more than a friend. It's so sweet. But a couple days ago, he was talking to my friend & asked her if I'd ever go out w/ him. She said "yeah right. she likes 2 other guys. not like she'd ever like you!!!" It was so rude. I asked my friend about it & she just LAUGHED. I feel bad about my friend's behavior. I want to apologize so badly.
I was thinking, for an apology, what if I kissed him? Do you think that's a little too dramatic, or is that a good idea? (link)
| |
Talk to him in person, and apologize for your friend and tell him just how wrong she was. Go ahead and kiss him if you want to, because you know that he likes you. Maybe just a kiss on the cheek would work, if you don't feel like being so dramatic.

I'm going into my freshman year in high school. What are some do's & don'ts for high school? (link)
|
Socially, it stays basically the same as before, so don't worry about that.
Focus on your homework, because when I switched, I found myself with much more homework then I'd had before, which was annoying.
If you're switching to a high school (as opposed to a K - 12 school) then you'll have to get used to being last for everything. Sitting on the floor when they run out of seats, for example. Froshies are trod upon greatly by seniors at my school.
There aren't as many differences between high school and middle school as one is lead to believe, so don't worry much.

Emotions
I feel as if i'm outside myself watching life. It feels so stange, like a cat in new land.
YOu think I have no emotion, then you don't know me. If you could understand me, just listen you can hear my thoughts. The volume is always hight never quiet.
my smile is automatic, like a machine programed.
I want to tell you more, I want you to understand.
I don't know who I am. Too many voices. too many emotions.
I feel so lost! No one understands. I'm so insecure just waiting for your secure.
I reach out, I yell but my arms don't move not a sound escapes my mouth.
I'm so alone, So many voices, so many emotions....

Is this a good poem? Let me know. I just wrote it.
(link)
|
It's pretty damn good! It does need some editing, though. "I feel so lost!" just doesn't seem to fit. Also, I think you need to go over this and fix some of the grammar. It's poetry, so you can get away with incorrect grammar (artistic licence!) but you don't want to put in any nasty grammatical mistakes that you don't know about.
Put it on fictionpress.com or submit it to one of the contests on poetry.com.

im gettin braces in like 2 days, and i was wondering
does it hurt when they put them on?
or does it hurt more a fefw days later?
(link)
| |
It doesn't hurt TOO much pain when they get put on, but your mouth feels really odd. Get some food RIGHT after you eat them, because the pain starts to kick in later that day and keeps on pretty strong for the next couple days before it starts to go away. Be sure to take painkillers.

Is 9th grade a good grade and does it go by quickly? (link)
| |
Just got out of it . . . I switched to a more challenging school for ninth grade, so on top of being high school, it was a bit of a shock at first. If you're in the public school system, though, I suspect that it's more or less the same as middle school.

|
Try reading webcomics. They may or may not be your thing, but you can find great ones at keenspace.com. I would recomment errantstory.com and electric-manga.com.
Spacefem.com is good. Take all the quizzes!

According to your BMI, you're absolutely fine! Your BMI is 19.5, which is on the skinny side of normal.

(link)

Stick to your exercise routine, since it's proven to be quite successful, and now you have more time to devote to it.
Also make sure you eat right. You're supposed to eat five meals a day (three square meals, two snacks) and keep the portions small.

i used to fancy this boy and we went away together. than he started to be mean to me treating me like rubbish.i hate him and i started to cry wot can i do (link)

Get rid of him if he's treating you like rubbish. He's not likely to stop, no matter what he says.
