i hate animal abuse it makes me too sad to think of anything what can i do if i hear or see it (link)
If you witness anyone physically harming an animal or pet call the police. They know how to charge people and who to call in to help the animal.


I will go with it straight: I have this little cousin - he's in like third or second grade - that is down right...inappropriate. See his parents aren't exactly the best ones there are, which I feel so very sorry about, really, his dad is my uncle and he's a great guy but throughly irresponsible. His mom is nice too but like I said: they avoid responsibilities. Sorry I went off topic. I just wanted you to know that I do indeed feel sympathy for him, but his actions sometimes really...set me off. My grandparents tend to him like he's their own son - which is not necessarily bad - and therefore always got him whatever he wanted with no exception - which is the bad part. He's idol - unfortunately - is my brother and therefore anything my brother has, he needs to have, anything my brother does he needs to do. He's really loud and disrespectful:

-When nobody's paying attention to him because they're having a VERY important conversation, he jumps right in to scream nonsense like: LOOK AT THAT! LOOK AT THIS!

-He is per-ver-ted: He loves it when on TV shows a man or a woman show private parts (even though they don't show it) and he made a comment to my mom and dad that I will not repeat because it makes really nauseous and dirty.

-He is always getting sick: Sometimes he fakes it, other times it's for real so it's really hard to tell when he's really sick, like when has (shudder) diarreah or vomit. Yuck.

The worst part is that nobody really...makes him understand that the stuff he does or says are wrong. Oh, something I forgot: he disrespects my grandfather, greatly. And my grandmother defends him.

The last time my brother was in the hospital me and my sister had to go with my grandparents to their house (it was 11pm) and you know what they did? They went over to my cousin's other grandparents's house, woke them up, and took my cousin with us (they put up the excuse that he would probably still be awake and that he would be immensely bored because they didn't have any electronically devices thy my brother liked). My cousin was fast asleep when they picked him up. My sister and I literally went to sleep at 1am because of their impulse. Plus I'm pretty sure they made my cousin's other grandparents feel really bad by taking him.

All in all: What in the world can I do? Don't say wait until your older and move out or live with please, I've already been dealing with him for five years. Just remember, I'm not saying I hate him, I just wish he could be a little bit more...sane. (link)
He's 7-years-old for crying out loud. His behavior seems typical of little boys that age especially with curiosity about body parts and functions as well as saying or doing inappropriate things.

Yes, people should tell him "we don't do that because" but aren't. In the event you see him say or do something inappropriate that others haven't caught take him aside hold both of his hands and get on his level and tell him why his behavior isn't right. Maybe that will help.

You also have to understand you were 7-years-old too and likely a pain in the ass at times to people around you that were not your parents. After all the shit this kid as gone through with bad parenting and family issues cut him breaks where he needs it and try to walk the balance beam between cousin and someone responsible who can address his behavior with him.


The rest of your family probably treats him like they do because they know his situation at home isn't great. Also, it can get really dicey when others discipline somebody else's id for bad behavior. Chalk most of this up to him being 7 or 8-years-old.

As far as him disrespecting your grandfather it's really up to him to say something but you could tell your cousin if you see it happening that this is not the way we treat people and see if he learns from that.

I will tell you one other thing stop resenting this kid. Anger and resentment is like drinking a tub of bleach for every negative thought you harbor against someone. It poisons you and not them. Sometimes those who seem the most unlovable need you the most. Be a mentor.


I am not a very strong person and I'm not sure why. I walk around 7km a day in the morning before work and I do all of the house work at home. I know I shouldn't feel strong from doing so little exercises but I shouldn't feel weak. My diet is rich and varied and has more than enough protien and other nutrients it baffles me. (link)
See a doctor. If you are always feeling weak for no apparent reason it's likely medical and something to get to the bottom of. At least that way you can stop worrying and know the root cause.


So me&my friend are both 15/f and my friend has depression. It's getting worse and worse and its been going on for months now and I have no idea what to do for her..she needs help. However, she does NOT want to go to the doctors, she cant tell my parents and I cant tell mine..its out of the question. Also my school is just so untrustworthy , we tried talking to them before and theyre just so stupid and unhelpful its ridiculous. Without all that is there a way to help her? I mean im assuming unhelpful answers here, but I need something thanks! (link)
There is nothing that can help here other than medical treatment. This is a serious mental-health issue. If she doesn't get it in check while she still can it's going to hit as a hurricane sized crisis multiple times bigger.

I KNOW she is scared of doctors and hospitals but need not be. They act out of love and care for each person they treat. What your friend HAS to do is TELL her parents she can't function, the kind of bad thoughts or emotions she has and go to an emergency room.

Tell her to be BRUTALLY HONEST here as it's the only way she get helped when talking to the on-call psychiatrist. Unless he or she thinks that your friend is in harms way, in crisis where harm could come to her they will set a course for treatment and put her on anti-depressants.

Let's say your friend did stay in the hospital. It's really not that bad having done two tours of duty myself. All that happens is that for 72 hours they observe you, you have a private room, can rest, have family/friends in and they do your meals, have support groups, games and try to make the ward as comfortable as possible while she rests and gets the medication right. Then you go home. It's a time where she can put everything on hold but her and being well.

She may think that she can't tell her parents, teachers, adults, friends but believe me adults close to her have to help or it will be a ton worse believe me. They won't disown her or be ashamed of her. She has an illness that's all and they and she knows it's not her who created it.

You should tell your parents the truth. You were taught that icky secrets never get kept as a child and this one qualifies. It's your friend's welfare and as hard as it is to tell them you know in your heart that it's the only way to help her. Not telling and she gets 10 times worse how will you feel then? Think about it.


Hi! I've seen a lot of questions regarding similar topics but none seem fitting to my situation.
I am currently 20 years old—old enough to recognize attraction or this type behavior in my opinion.
My parents have been married for about eighteen years now and my mom HAS cheated in the past. I think I was about 9 years old at the time, and its just a vague memory but I do know that no one has ever found out about it. I've never told anyone that except for my childhood best friend.
Anyways, a a few weeks back my mom mentioned this younger guy at work that she said 'had a crush' on her. We laughed it off for a while. But recently I see her texting all the time (this is weird because my mom doesn't text anyone, at all. She didn't even know how until I taught her)
I felt bad but the curiosity was killing me so in the middle of the night I checked her phone. She had text messages from a random number saying things like "I'm always going to be here for you. You have me blah blah." And her responses were something along the lines of "I really needed to hear that from you."
For the past weeks she keeps saying that she wants to go out, and that she wishes she could do this and that. And even that she wants to separate from my Dad? She even encouraged my Dad, my sister and myself to go away for the weekend without her because she had to work. Then, she told me to check a name of someone on facebook for her(as you can tell shes not very technology savvy) It was of course a younger guy, and she told me it was the same one that had a crush on her.
When I looked at her phone again, she had added this boy to her contacts but under a female name. And I know its the same number as before because I wrote it down.
I honestly don't know what to do. I don't even know what to think. At this point I don't think I'm jumping to conclusions or being paranoid, I know there is something there. I just don't know what kind of relationship she is having with this guy. And If maybe I should sit down with her and talk about it? Please give me some insight, I thought about talking about this with my friends but it's kind of embarrassing considering they come over my house all the time.
Thanks in advance! (link)


Her behavior sounds odd but until you have all the facts or it comes out you need to be silent. This is an issue where a lot of people can get hurt and talking to friends is not a good idea no matter how close.

If you must talk to someone find a counselor or therapist that must keep it confidential. They will have seen this a lot and know what you need to do to cope.

Ideally, your mother is the one who has to tell your father and others about this. It's a mistake to out her as you, your dad, her will have resentment that never ends. Besides, you have to be 100% sure.

One thing you could do is say to her you told me about this guy, text him etc. I'm not stupid is there something I should know it worries me and see if she tells the truth.

As far as your father goes maybe she doesn't want him knowing or perhaps they have an open marriage. You did mention they thought of ending their marriage so in a way them with different partners is less shocking at this time but still infidelity if the other isn't aware.


Hey so my bf wants to have sex in a postition called reverse cowgirl? And dogystyle? I dont know what these things are but please help also he said he wants to 'eat me out' and i said no because i didnt know what it was. He said it felt good so please help we are both 17 thanks ( im a girl ) (link)
The first position is female on top facing him for intercourse. The reverse aspect is if you choose to face away from him. The second "doggy style" is intercourse with rear entry into vagina. It's slang because of how animals such as dogs do this.

The "eat out" is slang for oral genital sex on a female in this case. Also, it's okay to admit to a partner even that you've never heard about this or the terms. It opens a dialogue of communication with him on what you are and are not open to doing with a partner at this stage. Don't think for a second that he'll think you dumb or weird for not knowing the slang terms.

It's better you say "I don't know what that is" rather than him think one way or the other that there is or isn't interest it's better you tell him you looked it up and your comfort or discomfort than have him try it when you aren't ready or expecting this.


I have never been able to pick up times tables. They vex me to this day. I am left in wonder when ever I encounter someone that can do them forwards and backwards. Starting at any point from 7 x 6 to 9 x 9 without even batting an eyelid.

Having the ability to completly understand and know my times tables would be an enormous milestone in my life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my quiery. (link)
Flash cards may help. However, what would be even better is to get HUGE chart paper like elementary teachers write on. Put down all your times tables on chart paper in RED. Hang them up all around your room so they are constantly there. Give it a few weeks and they'll be memorized or easier to recall.

You have the same ability as anyone else does to learn and retain them. Even if labelled learning disabled which you may be there's always a way to learn but it may be different than usual. Find out for yourself what triggers you to recall things like this and use little tricks. Keep practicing.

I don't know your financial situation or your parents but explain to them that this greatly troubles you and that you want help with it. Have them put you in Kumon Math, Sullivan, Oxford or similar program to boost your mathematics. They have trained teachers who know how to handle and resolve this situation. They'll make you a whiz kid.


I think my parents are slightly if not extremely controlling. I'm not going to brag, but I would say in all, I am a good kid. For reference, I'm 19 turning 20 in a month. My ethnic background is South Asian, and religious background of Islam/Muslim. I'm female.

I've never drunk, done drugs, smoked, had a bad group of friends, partied, broken the law or anything like that, or much less even dated. Personally for me, those things go against my core values, beliefs and they're not my cup of tea of "fun".

But regardless of that, my parents still restrict me in so many ways. My father gets suspicious if I say I want to go to the library to do my homework (I'm homeschooled) because I can't concentrate at home, and my dad tends to give off this negative vibe all the time. He never has anything positive or good to say about anything. I prefer to be in a positive and comforting environment.

And then he's even mentioned that if he wants, he can come follow me to the library to see what I'm really doing. He's mentioned that plenty of times whenever I've said that I want to go to the gym or anything like that. I don't think he actually has, but I wouldn't know.

Personally, I find that extremely offensive, degrading in a way, and disrespectful. He's basically implying that I'm frolicking about doing God-knows-what with Who-knows-who.

I hate having to lie to parents but I feel like I'm going to start to have to now to actually be able to do the things I enjoy doing in life, and start having a social life.

I told my parents I wanted to do the Spartan Race, which by the way is the most amazing obstacle course/fitness challenge. They said I couldn't, and they even yelled at me. Because "this isn't for girls" and that there are "boys there."

So I basically registered and am going to have to come up with a lie (that I'm still thinking of) so I can go to the race this summer.

Next week, I'm planning on going to another military training course called the "O course" as practice for the actual race, and of course, my parents will NOT let me go ever. I'm going to have to lie to them again. Which makes me feel guilty, sad, and goes against my beliefs because I'm a believer in honesty!!

Yet when I mention it to my Dad, and tell him that I am an adult and that I can do whatever I want (NOT that I'm even doing anything wrong to begin with) he starts going crazy and yells at me. And tells me to get out of his, and go live with my Mom.

Now, if I'm at my Mom's and try to explain to her the same thing, she'll go a little crazy maybe call me a bitch, and then give me the could shoulder.

Honestly, what do I do? I want to be respectful of my parents but still be able to live my OWN life.

I'm not able to move out yet, because I'm not financially able to support myself though I am thinking about it for the future. It's just.. I've wasted so much of my life.. doing NOTHING. Putting a leash on my passions, and what the things I love to do.

You are a incredibly articulate and thoughtful young woman who any parent should be proud to have as their child. Yes, they are being unreasonable but it has to do with their fears and beliefs.

I would tell your parents that "I believe in the same things you do and hold them at the same level. Why would you distrust me now when I've never done any of the things you feel offensive or threatened by?"

You need a social life as does every teen or adult as it's not healthy not to. You likely cannot convince them as their beliefs are so ingrained and staunch.

Do you have a relative or someone who can level with your parents and tell them about all the wonderful opportunities they are depriving you of and that you need friends? You definitely need to go to school with people your age. And yes it does seem they want to control you and not allow you to think for yourself.

It's too bad you don't have a teacher or coach or someone that could say "Hey, your daughter is a really talented person at a lot of things and quite the athlete." Have that person explain that it's a co-ed competition and even if boys compete nothing untoward will happen to you.

Here's what I would do don't lie. That will cause worse problems than you have now. At your age you can legally see a doctor on your own for a checkup or any issue you have at all.

Go see a doctor or your own by yourself and tell them you know it's your right to say what you need to without parents knowing. Show him/her the post you wrote us, explain your heritage, and that you just can't be a kid and that it's psychologically messing you up.

They can give you advice and make sure you wind up at the competition by essentially making your parents look bad for their actions. Tell them you can't function and feel depressed.

In fact, you could walk into any hospital emergency room tell them you cannot function properly, feel depressed, and isolated and cannot have friends, etc. etc. or be normal due to parents and their beliefs and feel trapped.

Definitely, tell them that your father has threatened you in the past with following you everywhere you go to make sure you do what he wants. They'll intervene. Your parents can and should loosen up a little. As long as they see you're a good kid, can make sound decisions and believe the same religion than I just don't get it either.


Help! My school's talent show is coming up and I dont know what to do! I can't play an instrument, sing, gymnastics, dance, magic, or anything! I can't do a group act because everybody already has their groups. Please HELP!! Auditions are in 2 days! I also can't do stand up comedy either. I'm a girl by the way. Also last year I played a song on piano but didn't get past the auditions.I have stopped/forgotten how to play and its too late to learn.
~ Thanks (link)
Why not do something memorable. Pick a topic important to you be it cancer, AIDS, wildlife, mental health etc. that has directly affected you or someone else and deliver a monologue that will make someone else think. That's a talent. Public Speaking.

Also, who says you aren't funny or capable of doing stand-up comedy? What you have to have is perfect timing. Choose something people can relate to and find unique observations about it that you can get laughs with. Have help from family.

You really have no idea what you truly can do if you don't try or allow this BS thought "I can't' to prevent you from going for it anyway. What if you did bomb so what? As long as you tried and had fun that's what mattered.

Do something that makes a difference like the idea above or even better the comedy or something you think you can't do to prove you can. That's better than winning. The sooner young people get over this "I can't" BS the better. It's like sitting in your car, keys in the ignition but afraid to start the motor. Once you do you'll be fine.

Also, even if people have their own group for songs, acting, skits, comedy it doesn't mean you can't be a part of their act either by contributing the writing or directing talent even that they may lack. You may have the words and they may have the voices or talent in other areas. If you are a writer it's a talent people need and more valuable than their's in some aspects.


Hey guys
I really need advice. My boyfriend is 17 and im 16.His friends know he is dating me and he has my name on his relationship status on facebook so its not like he is trying to hide it. I mean, he always says to me, "im so lucky to have you your the most beautiful girl i have ever seen and i never even thought i would be this lucky to even have a chance with you."
The weird part is, i noticed when his friends are around when i am with him, he tries to avoid them. I know who his friends are and stuff they go to my school. But for example when we were in his room at his house,his sister had one of his friends over (the friend is friends with him and his sister) and my boyfriend told me to be really quiet. I kept asking him why and he wouldnt tell me. He opened the door to his room quick and said hi to his friend and then shut the door again. He kept telling me not to say anything. I persistantly kept asking him why and finally after a long time he said because he didnt want his friend coming in and saying stuff. ???? To me that sounds like a stupid reason and not really beleivable but i cant think of any reason why he did that. Any ideas?
(link)
Is this a new relationship? Even if it isn't he's hung up on you knowing that you are his sole-focus 100% of time which isn't realistic. He knows his friends tend to be "in your face" or take control of every situation and would rather be alone with you and not them.

You're probably thinking why isn't he showing me off to his friends or hanging with me with them? Well, that's a question you have to ask him and tell him to stop acting "stupid" over this and that it pisses you off you're not included. I'm sure he'll get it but he won't click in if you are silent about it. It's a minor fix that need not lead to a fight.


i am from India age of 21,i used to jerk daily at least twice a day but i want to stop it from daily sometimes it goes even three three time a day if it need ,
1.)i want to stop this thing or can i continue with this ,
2.)does the jerking can cause STD ?
3.)jerking is good to health ? ,
4.) can i jerk daily for once or should stop this and how to stop ?
5.) jerking twice can bother me ?
6.) can jerk reduce my weight or health ?

But one thing when i jerk i became tired and i am hungry i want to eat something fully i feel like that why ???? please help me for all my questions please (link)
You can do this multiple times or until your arm falls off and it will not adversely affect health. The only way it can is if it's all you do and that you have no life outside it. It cannot cause an STD as it isn't sex with partner.

Doctors will tell you 90% of males and 77% of females do it regularly or will sometime during life. People just don't admit it and the stats are likely higher. it's normal to do it and enjoy it or normal not to or dislike it. Either way it won't affect weight or health. No need to stop unless you absolutely feel you want to.

As far as it increasing appetite I've never heard that before. That's a new one. The answer is it absolutely has no effect on hunger. You just happen to be at the same time as a coincidence or because you haven't eaten a meal yet.

The tiredness part may have to do with doing this multiple times in a row as you have been. Your body will feel that.


I was wondering of it's okay to watch porn at my age. I really like it, and all. Yet sometimes I can't stop watching it and fingering myself. (link)
It won't psychologically scar you permanently. However, it is made for adult audiences and you should try to stop.

Being curious about it and sex is normal but bear in mind these are actors (term applied loosely) and this isn't an accurate reflection of a real sexual relationship. A lot of those people in the film have bad educations, may be on drugs, or just making bad life choices.

No doubt your classmates have turned to this out of curiosity and being turned on by it or stimulating yourself is fine as that's more or less what it's designed to do--turn people on by watching it.



Im a 13 year old girl and finger myself over a guy i like should i do this at 13 ? (link)
This is normal and nothing to worry about. It's your decision to continue it or not. It's a healthy way of dealing with sexual feelings.


Alright so im 14 years old and in my relationship its getting pretty BORING. I love my boyfriend sooo much but we dont talk on the phone or hang out. I want to be more fun. We only see each other in school. In between classes. I try my very but i dont think thats even good enough. Im flirting with him and messing around with him but what else could i do???? Somebody please help. Its important and i dont want to end our relationship but hes like my first love actually (:
(link)
Start seeing one another outside of school or this flat out will not work. It's not a functioning relationship as it is. Start going to movies, bowling, events, anything or hanging out at each of your houses. That will make all the difference.

As far as being interesting goes you are interesting to him or he wouldn't want a relationship or be trying for one. Continue to be you and don't second guess yourself there. You just need more face time and a lot more. I have no idea why you don't hang out already. You have to solve this.


Hey guys
So i have a question, when my boyfriend fingers me how do we know when he is done? Because for guys its different since they have an "endpoint" lol. But for girls it could go on forever right? So my question is, how does he know when to be done? What if he gets bored cuz he doesnt know when to stop? (link)
You should tell him that it's too intense after awhile. Thank him and then move on. As the person receiving stimulation you need to tell him when you have reached a threshold or he will continue on clueless about whether you feel done or not. It's all about communication during/before.


My best friend has had a history of depression and engaging in risky behaviors. She was doing well for a little while, but recently, after breaking up with her boyfriend, she's been struggling again and slipping back into some behaviors. she has been sexting with guys she hardly knows on the internet, stripping over the webcam, etc. now she's planing on meeting up with her ex boyfriends roommate to have sex with him. But seems to be aware of the consequences of doing it, but it doesn't bother her. I should also add that she's only 16.
I know this all sounds crazy, and maybe it is, but I'm really concerned about her. I don't want her to get hurt and I feel like that's what she is setting herself up for. I love her dearly, and I don't know what I should do as a friend. Should I tell her not to go meet up with this guy? Should I express to her my concerns? What would be the best thing to do? (link)
The best thing to do is to talk to her with one of your parents in the room. You just have to be truthful about what you have observed and that it has usually happened in the past right before a relapse or critical problem.

Hon, she's not just depressed. It's likely she may be bipolar as well. If not bipolar she has symptoms consistent with hypomania (which I have) which although not dangerous need to be watched because it includes promiscuity, mood swings, being overly hyper, and bad choices including financial.

Thing is if she's full bipolar she may not be able to see things as they are. That's why you need an adult like a parent or someone adult you both know to raise the concern.

Be aware of the fact she may be pissed no matter what you say to her or your family does at first. However, in the long-run she may see and will that you did it out of genuine love and nothing else.

One thing you could ask her to keep things subtle and avoid volatility is ask her if she has had levels checked with lithium or anti-depressants lately as a few people have sensed something off that may have been off when she was headed to a problem before. This way if she gets checked a doctor can note the poor decisions or detect if she's headed towards something bad.

If you think your friends are ever in trouble or can get hurt health or otherwise you have to step in and be the voice of reason. If you are truly best-friends this is what to do and let chips fall as they may.

She needs someone to talk directly to her that will never BS her on anything. You may not like that role but its fallen to you. It's best to say something and be wrong than to stay mum and see her crash if she is headed for that.

As for the online behavior and meeting random men you need to tell your parents and get them to intervene with her family as this is something her parents need to know immediately.


I get a bad cold and i have high fever too.The problem is that my teacher has asked me to write a dialogue between a political activist and a teenager in which the political activist tries to make the teenager understand the importance of patriotism.
The last date of this assignment is tomorrow and i have a bad headache and fever.I am top in my class.Please someone will write this for me.I will be very grateful.Thanks again!! (link)
Could your illness in reality be from high anxiety over the assignment and grades? If you are worked up over something you're going to feel ill.

Next time you get an assignment you don't know how to complete tell the teacher then and there and ask for help then. If you approach your teacher even with a doctor's note at this point they won't let it slide based on that factor alone.

All you can do is level with your parents. Tell them you didn't know how to handle the assignment and kept putting it off. Let them know you should have said something sooner. See if they can help you write something in time for tomorrow. I'm sure they'll see the illness as related to having stress over this.

And you know what? Even if you got a 0 or a bad grade it's not going to kill you. It's better to try and do the assignment and make an effort than not to try. Your teacher will respect someone who tried. Put a post it on it saying "I shouldn't have left this to last moment and should have admitted I didn't know what to do earlier. I have high anxiety over this and truthfully didn't understand how to deliver what you wanted but at least I attempted rather than not.

Honesty gets you everywhere. Maybe if they see you didn't understand the assignment that you can do a re-write.


I am 15 years old. I cannot eat, drink,sleep, or smile with causing more harm than good. I will go days without any of it and that's not my choice. I have anxiety attacks daily and find myself repeating things constantly; whether its counting, checking work, or cracking my body. I just get stuck looping and looping untill I'm in serious pain or tears. School has become impossible and my social life has vanished. My parents treat me like their burden. I am affaird ask for further help because I know they will say I am wasting their money and being over dramatic. I have tired every form of help out their, but have not gotten any closer to finding relief. I feel weak all the time; like i am dying. Every minor task is effort now, even walking up the stairs. I just do not have the strength and energy to keep on going. All I want is the pain to end and I will do anything to make it end if I do not find actual help. Please if you know how to help me do not hesitiate I am barly hanging on here. (link)
It takes guts to write what you just did and admit you are in over your head with trouble. It's awful your parents won't listen. They can't see that this isn't normal yet. In most cases that's so until a child reaches full-blown crisis.

There's no two ways you have a mental-health issue here that is intensifying daily. It's an anxiety disorder and if you can't function normally you need to find help pronto.

If your parents are oblivious you need to find a relative, friends parent, older sibling etc. you trust and go directly to an emergency room. Be brutally honest with the doctors, nurses, people there. Tell them word for word what you wrote here.

A psychiatrist will examine you, ask questions about the problem, put you on the right medication and treatments and monitor your progress. Likely you will be sent home same day. However, if they feel you need rest, can't function and or in harms way they can keep you for 72 hours to figure how best to proceed. You NEED to do this as it's a problem that will become like a hurricane if you do not act. If you have to go to a hospital alone by all means please do. You'll find your parents more receptive to helping here when they see an ER confirm you need help.


My best friend in the entire world is turning sixteenn this Tuesday, April 9th. Things is, we don't have so many friends. I mean, we do, but we choose to only hangout with eachother. Because of this, she isn't having a big party since she only wants to be with me anyway. Only problem is- I have no idea what do to for her. Its her sweet sixteen, and I want to make it amazing. She is my best friend is the world, and I know that if I don't, nobody will.
I don't want to throw a party for her, I just need ideas for something special me and her can do together.
My friend has been through A LOT in the past year, this being the first birthday she will have without her dad in the picture as he passed away recently. I just love her so much, and I need to make this amazing.
Please give me ideas on what to do!
Her and I love going to the city (we live in Chicago) and have our liscnece, or at least I do. We are very artsy people, and love anything unique/ cool. Thanks! (link)
I would consult her mother and explain your intentions and ask her about things your friend always wanted and how to honor her father's memory in what you do. Her mom is the best person to ask.

Then again, you live in Chicago. If you have never been you might find the improv and sketch comedy shows Second City does as entertaining. A lot of their alumni are on SNL or have been. Definitely talk to her mom, siblings, your own parents even for ideas. You want to honor her dad but it needs to be done delicately. For that you need an adult.


I woke up this morning and my eye really hurt, it felt like I got punched. It really hurts to blink/ close it. It hurts so bad it's not swollen from what I can see but I think there is to tiny bumps on my eyelid what's wrong with my eye? (link)
