All of my friends are really worried about me because I cut myself. My parents don't know I still cut, but they know that I used to. I'm addicted to hurting myself and I don't want to stop. Everyone wants to change me but I refuse to. How do I get everyone to stop trying to get me to change? (link)
I know you don't want to hear it, but these people love you, and that is why they are concerned that you hurt yourself. However much they want you to change, you can only suceed if you yourself want to. Please look at yourself and decide that now is time for change - you cannot do this forever. Good luck.


i have a bf who is cheating on me and wat shold i do (link)
Simple. Dump his sorry ass.


I like this boy who we where boyfriends and then we broke up then we got back to gether then he ceated on me so we broke up but know I like him but I dont know what to do cuse I dont know if he likes me but the bad part is that my bbfs dont like him and they alwas tell me to brake up with him what should I do?someone help me!!! (link)
He cheated on you?! For goodness sake, HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. Move on - he's not worth it.


In our school, we have teams that everyone is seperated on each year. We dont usually associate with the other teams. This year my best friend and I were put together...but next year, we won't be. I know everyone says that I will make new friends, but it is the hardest thing in the world, because I will never see the person that means the most to me! What can I do? I feel really empty inside...I can't live without seeing her everyday! We won't be in the same hallway or anything, not even the same classes! Now what? (link)
Just because you wont see each other in school, doesn't mean you can't still be friends. It may even make you stronger. And it may be a good thing that you get to make some new friends. You can never have too many :)


These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life. i swear im living another life but these dreams seem so completley REAL! i feel lik in supposed to be in a diffrent world or place could these dreams come true?? also i think or dream about stuff one day and it comes true the next day and i already saw it the night before this only happens once in a while though?? what is going on help!!!! (link)
Our dreams have more power than we can imagine. They are a complex web of truths that can come from other astral planes, past lives and incarnations, and also from this life. Your subconscious picks up things that your conscious brain does not, and these are stored, like images, that can then begin to be pieced together in dreams. It's nothing to be scared of. You are probably just more in tune than most.


O.K there is this boy that likes me. I don't like him but I feel bad... Like how do I say no without hurting his feelings? I had already told him no but he keeps asking me out... I need help! (link)
Honestly, if he likes you that much there is no way of doing it without hurting him, but it's got to be done. Giving him false hope or stringing him along is worse than just giving it to him straight - you'll be doing him a favour in the long run by just telling him. Find a time and place when no one else is around - you don't want to humiliate him in front of his friends or peers. Sit him down and explain that even though he is a great guy, and you're very flattered, you just don't think of him in that way. Make sure you get the message across.


There's a group of girls at my school who have been cutting themselves. I talked to my counseler and he said that it was the right thing to tell him, and he would have me remain anonomys. One of the girls and she found out from my counseler. She got mad at me, and she said that I should mind my own buisness. Was she right, or was that the right thing to do?!? Please help!!!!!!!!!

Self harming is a very serious problem, and generally not something people can come to terms with alone. This girl is probably going to hate you for a while, but you need to put up with that and remember that if you telling is getting these girls the help they need, then it's worth it. Who knows, they may even thank you in the end.


i wanna get a boyfriend. but one that actually likes me 4 me! i havent had a boyfriend since i dumped my ex. i want him bak but he doesnt like me.... wut do i do??????




(link)
If your ex doesn't want you back, then there's not alot of point wishing for something that isn't going to happen. Don't settle for just anyone, the right person will come trotting along soon enough.


I have this friend and she is moving to Kentucky and I do not know what to do.She is like my best friend and I dont want her to go because I will miss her too much and she is soo happy about going but she is so worried about her boyfriend.I mean she is so ...I dont have a boyfriend and was thinking of taking him when she moves.I personlly think that I am acting weird for one.Is this normal?why do want to take her boyfriend away from her at the end of the year?
signed,
good-bye and hello

Sounds to me like you are trying to seek revenge on your friend for leaving you, and you feel that by taking her boyfriend you will have done that. It's not the right way to go. Talk to her, tlel you're going to miss her loads. Arrange to write, talk on the phone and the internet, and meet up lots. Just because she's moving away, it doesn't mean the two of you still can't be friends. And why not get her a great goodbye present, like a video of all her friends, or throw her a big party. Let her know how much she means to you.


I just started dating this guy and he is really sweet in all but he never talks to me in school or on the phone.And I justed found out that he was just using me to get his ex-girl friend out and I just dumped him.Was that a good choice?because now all my friends have boyfriends and I dont, and all the guys are like takin'.What do I do? and did I make a good choice?

-cheated and used (link)
Seriously hun, this guy is not worth you worrying over. He's obviously a jerk, and so not good enough for you. Go find one that's really worth your time ;)


my mom has babysat for her friends for over a year or 2 and this one of them has hardly paid her for it and still owes her like $300. one night i babysat for her and was supposed to get $10 for it. but i never did. how can i get the money without being rude or asking for it? (link)
You are not being rude by asking for it. You did the job, and payment was agreed. You did your bit, and she now needs to do hers. So tell her. Politely.


my ex bf has a gf now. but he has recently agreed with my friend that i am beautiful (he didnt even say that when we were going out) and he ends emails with luv ya. and he sent me a lovesick smiley. i am sure he likes me but i dont wanna break up his gf and him. and his sister is gonna kill me if i go back out with him. she thinks im gonna cry over him. even though i havnt cried over him the last 2 times he broke up with me. but i still really really like him. i dont know what to do! what do u think? (link)
And you would feel how if you were his girlfriend? If he is flirting with you while he's attatched, who knows what he'll be doing if you get back together.


how do i stop people from calling me gay...i dont do anything gay....im not gay....for goodness sake i like a girl...(im a boy duh...) wut should i do....i dont want to be called that anymore.... (link)
Seriously, ignore it. These people are stupid, narrow minded idiots. Rise above it.


Okay, I do one thing wrong and where does it get me? IN A HOLE. WHERE NONE OF MY FRIENDS LIKE ME! I have 1 friend now. Her name is Ellie. See, I did one mistake to Sabrina. Now she is mad at me. Then all of her best friends which happen to be mine too hate me. (Sabrina, Amanda, Bella, Monica, Rosalie, and Samantha) What can I do to get my friends to like me again? (link)
If they are behaving this way towards you, then to be perfectly honest, they probably aren't worth the trouble. Have fun with Ellie, and make some new friends. Tell your so-called other friends that you are really sorry for the "mistake" you made, but that you can do nothing more than apologise, and if they are not willing to accept that, they really aren't worth your time. If they are true friends, they will see how much this is upsetting you, and forgive you. If not, then at least you know now, and you don't have to keep crying over split friendships.


All right, here's the picture. I'm a boy in 8th grade. Last year, I was a bit of a pervert and got a huge rep as one. That all changed over summer break. However, no one realizes that, and so my rep still stands. That is the only reason I cant get a girlfriend. And for some reason, I feel a need for the companionship, and not on the level of just friends. What should I do? (link)
You've gotta forgive us girls for being a little wary of you if you've been like that in that past. The only way to earn that trust back is through a lot of work, and a lot of time. Be the real you, proove you've changed. Don't immediatly hit on girls, show you can be a great friend and a real person. Over time, girls will learn to trust you again, and see the real person. I hope things work out for you.


OK me and my friends were having a discussion and one of my friends stated that the faith of catholic is just another branch of christianity, but catholics have very very different beliefs then christians do. Can someone help me make up my mind? (link)
This all goes back to the reformation, when Protestants broke away from the main Catholic church because they did not think some of their practices were acceptable. Essentially, they are definetely both Christian, just different denominations, like baptists and methodists. They believe that Jesus was the son of God.


When 2 of your friends are fighting and your in the middle stuck and dont know what side to choose on what do you do? Like one person would want me to sit with them and the other one would be like lets all move away from her and i dont know what to do i mean i am friends with all of them but they make it seem like it is wrong to hang out with that person just b/c that person is different and people already make fun of her behind her back and everything. I am stuck in the middle so what do i do ? (link)
You know what? Don't sit with either of them. And refuse to take sides. They will be pissed off with you for a while, sure, but it's the only way. Tell them, calmly, that you don't want to be a part of their argument, and untill they sort it out you are going to stay neutral. If one of them needs a shoulder to cry on, be there. If one of them needs someone to listen, be there. But don't take sides, it'll only work out worse in the end.


what should I do if i wanna wear a skirt but my legs aren't the prettiest things to look at? (link)
They are a brilliant invention, tights. Black ones, white ones, skin coloured ones, fruity ones, fishnets, opaque ones, translucent ones, ones with polka dots, stripes...the list is endless.


I have liked this guy for a really long time and i really want to go out with him. He really likes me too. The problem is neither one of us is brave enough to ask the other one out. So do you think i should make the first move or wait for him. I hear him talking about me all the time. What should i do? (link)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a girl making the first move. Hell, we're in the 21st century, us girls can do anything ;) And it seems as if there's pretty much no way he can say no, so go for it. Good luck!


I havae never had a boyfriend. Every time i ask someone out they say no. Does God want me to have one. I don't know how to flirt? What am I doing wrong? (link)
Maybe you are just not comfortable with the idea of boys yet. They aren't all that scary, I can assure you. Get to know them, talk to them, have fun. Always be yourself, never put on an act, they'll like you a whole lot more if you are just you. And remember, boys aren't the be all and end all. You don't need a boyfriend to be happy.
