You're a teenager you're going to have battles with your mom. You're going to test her and might even lie to her. I had trouble with my mom when I was a teenager because I didn't feel like she understood I felt like she was always attacking me. I was wrong. I was being difficult and I wasn't making things easy for her. You NEED to respect your mother and tell her how much you care about her. My whole idea about my relationship with my mother changed when my best friend lost his mom to cancer. It made me realize how lucky I am to have my mother and that I need to treat her with respect. Do I mess up every once in a while? Of course. I'm not perfect but I do my best to show my mother I care about her and I respect her. She has been there for me through thick and thin and there is no one else on this earth who has done more for me than my mother. You need to respect her and start telling her the truth. I know right now its hard to not get mad but you have to understand she is the adult and you live under her roof so you need to go by her rules. Why not try to have a mom/daughter night a week? Where you watch a movie together or you have dinner together. Do something nice together or maybe get her a flower or something saying 'I'm sorry'. I'm sure you're a great kid, but you need to make sure you treat your mother nicely.

Try seeing your teacher after school for extra help or even trying get help at home from your parents. I would suggest talking to your teacher about what you need to do to pass this class. Positive thoughts and thinking help as well! Good luck!

I think you're being way to hard on yourself. Think of the positive things and work with what you have. For years and years I have complained about things I want to change about myself but now I embrace them. For example, my friends are all shorter than I am and I always wished I was petite like my girlfriends. I finally realized that I should embrace being tall, I have long legs that people would die for. No one is perfect but I'm sure you're being way to hard on yourself. Think of the good qualities and stop putting yourself down.

Wow, your friend isn't even telling you why she's mad? It sounds to me like there's nothing you can do. I wish I had an answer but it just sounds like she's being VERY unreasonable and unfair. To tell you to go talk to her would seem dull due to the fact that you already have. If you care about her and respect her that much then I would follow her wishes. Why do you want to be friends with someone who is going to be like that anyway?

I always wonder why people post on here wanting to kill themselves and thinking that someone is going to tell you how. You're 18 years old, you're young and you're going to make mistakes. Everyone does we are all human. Suicide isn't the answer for anything. If anything it creates pain for your friends and family. I know you're going pain at the moment but you need to realize that you killing yourself won't solve your problem. Get some help talk to someone, maybe a therapist or a doctor about how you are feeling. Life isn't all that bad you have to think positive. I know it's hard but you have to try.

Whenever we're feeling down we always have a negative outlook on things. Sometimes it looks like nothing can be fixed and we give up easily. Don't give up. Whatever you're going through it will get better. I don't know who this guy is that you speak of but maybe you need time for yourself to concentrate on you and your baby girl. Don't give up. Think of your baby girl. I know as a mom you want whats best for her. I don't have a child but if I did I would go to the ends of the earth to give my child the best. I know you love her and care for her. I'm sure she is your world and that you are the BEST mom! Keep holding on and you'll make it through. Think of what's important in your life and what you need to do. I hope this helps and keep your head up!

I like to call this the bird's nest syndrome. I went through and I'm still going through it at this point. It's almost as if you have been in this nest for your whole life and you haven't gone anywhere but stayed in the nest. Now your parents want you to get up and fly the funny thing is, is that they never taught you. I feel the same way with my parents. What I realized is that I needed to start doing things myself and take responsibility for myself. It stinks but that's the only true way to handle it and it may be hard but you will get through it. Get the support of your friends and do the best you can. If you need help talk to maybe your parents, a guidance counselor, or maybe a teacher at school. Good luck!

Being anorexic isn't the answer because one it's a disease and two it isn't the right way to lose weight. A girl that is anorexic has a disease that takes over what she thinks about her body she doesn't just become anorexic. If you aren't happy with the way you look just change your eating habits and exercise a bit more. That's a healthier and safer way to lose weight.

I think for your mom it's hard to see her little girl with a hickey on her neck. Has your mother ever met him? Have you ever had him over for dinner? I'm assuming she has if you've been dating him for a year and three months. It's important to remember that you are still under your mother's care and under her roof so you need to respect her. On the other hand, you are almost 18 which is considered an adult and that makes you responsible for your own choices. I would sit down with your mother and have a conversation and talk about it calmly. Tell her that this situation she cause her to make such a rash decision. You don't want to make this situation like Romeo and Juliet ya know? Give your mom some space right now and when you feel she is calm try talking to her and telling her how you feel. I think it's a good idea to tell your mom how you feel about this guy and how much you want her to like him. Good luck and I hope everything turns out well!

High School was the BEST 4 years of my life! I had some great times in high school, I was a teenager and I learned a lot both educationally and about myself. High school is where you grow into an adult and it almost shapes you before you get to college. When you're in high school, you want to leave but once you leave you to want to go back. I remember when I was in high school I wanted to leave and now I want to go back so badly. I did some amazing things in high school like made friends, joined some choirs, went to prom, and graduated. It's the experiences you'll go through that make those 4 years amazing and special! Good luck and enjoy it! And whatever you do don't rush it, because 4 years goes by so quick!

Well, why do you think she's cheating on you in the first place? People who cheat tend to be very sneaky or very quiet about things. If she seems off to you I would consider that to be a sign. If she is always checking her phone or texting someone or even going off to another room that's a sign. I would confront her if I were you. Ask her if she is and if she gets really defensive or can't look you in the eye than there's a possibility she might be cheating!

There are things in life that are thrown at us but we as humans have to face it. 'What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger'. Have you ever heard of that saying? It's so true. I've been through some tough things in my life but I've become stronger because of it. I don't know what you're going through and I'm not saying its easy but killing yourself isn't going to fix it. It doesn't solve the problem facing it will. Do you have anyone to talk to? Do you go to school? Do you know someone you can trust? Talk to someone and I'm sure you'll feel a lot better. I know this maybe be hard as well but try and think positive. If you ever need to talk to someone please feel free to send me a msg on here

It sounds a like it like arthritis to me, my friend had similar aches and pains in her knees and her legs. She has had it since she was 13. Another part of it sounds like a circulation problem. You say when you get cold that your wrists start to hurt. My feet get really really cold due to bad circulation which in return brings a lot of pain into my feet as well as cramping and even sometimes my feet freeze up. I guess the best thing to do would to take some aspirin and maybe use a heating pad those tend to help. I would suggest doing the best you can to find a clinic in your area or finding out more about a doctor. I'm not a doctor but the symptoms you are experiencing I have definitely heard of. I hope you find out what's wrong and I hope you find a solution. Feel better!

You can't really pick a name for your boyfriend it just kind of happens. Don't analyze a nickname just let it happen. I call my boyfriend usually the cliche names such as 'sweetheart' 'babe' 'baby' 'hun' or by his name. If I'm angry I'll call him by his full name

Well, first things first...if you are on and off than that says there is a problem. Maybe what you need to do is sit down and talk about what you really want. Maybe you have an insecurity that is keeping you from feeling confident in this relationship. I would sit down and talk about what exactly is going on. I was the same way with my boyfriend and finally, I realized he loves me and I love him and he's not going anywhere. Sometimes we need to think positively instead of looking at the negative all the time.

None of us here are doctors so we can't diagnose you. We can recommend things like going to a doctor. It could be anything, it could be depression or maybe you could be bipolar. Now googling these things isn't going to help you. It's better that you talk to your doctor or maybe find a therapist. Do you go to school? Maybe talk to your guidance counselor and he or she may be able to give you some advice or point you in the right direction. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

I know you feel hopeless and you feel unwanted because you can't be with the person that you want to be with. Maybe that person isn't the right one for you. And that doesn't mean your life has to end. You are allowed to be sad but no one and I mean no one is worth punishing yourself over or even killing yourself. Sometimes we get into a state of mind where we feel there is no answer and wonder how the hell you are going to go through all this hell and come out fine? Be positive. Try and think about what you can do to make the best of this situation and learn from this. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

I love how people assume that getting a boyfriend will make you happy. That's not the case at all actually. Happiness comes from within. How do you expect someone else to make you happy if you can't even make yourself happy? Think about positives, stop focusing on the negatives. I'm sure there is a lot going on in your life to be happy about. The grass is always greener on the other side, my dear. And just because those couples look happy doesn't mean they are. Go do something that makes you happy and takes care of yourself first.

You're hurt and it's understandable. I think what you need to do is walk away from this situation and move on. Don't put yourself down because the relationship didn't work. You shouldn't feel useless or like you're not good enough because you are good enough and you do deserve to be with someone who is going to treat you right. Clearly this girl hurts you so why go back to her? I understand you love her, but think about it what would you tell your best friend if she or he was going through the same thing? You can grieve and be upset you have the right to be. Think about what you can take from this relationship and move on and start dating. Confidence is the key!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You boyfriend's mother probably just wants to make sure you are treating her son right. She just wants whats best for her son. It's probably like your parents making sure that your boyfriend is treating you well. I'm sure she doesn't hate you. Have you given her a reason not to like you? Have you been disrespectful? Have you pushed her? If you haven't then I'm sure it has nothing to do with you and just continue to be nice and respectful. Don't worry about it!
