I fell depressed all the time I want to cry about everything no matter how small the problem is. How can I stop this? (link)
talk to your parents about it, if that doesnt help talk to your school counselor, your last resort should be a doctor, all doctors do is drug people and ....its no fun


okay well my friend jon made a lead in the play right?

well im really really really happy for himm

and at the end of the say when he found out... he came running to me and hugged me for like 1 minuet.. i was so embaressed becasue all of mty friends were like AWWWWWWWWW

and he knows i like him

i told him in person to just get it out

is that a sign of him liking me? (link)
That could be a possibility. Or it could be that you guys are good friends too..

So basically I told my bf that I feel like Im not good enough looking for him and how i feel like nobody could be attracted to me. *this was all an online convo* and i asked "know what i mean?" and he said yeah..then made some excuse that he had to go do his hw. This gets wheels turning in my head..if im not attractive to him, how can this last?? :( help me (link)
Love goes way beyond looks. He could love your personality more and that could be what hes really attracted to.

Also,maybe he didnt mean it that way.

When you said know what i mean and he said yeah.... perhaps he was meaning it like I also have felt like I am unattractive and I am not good looking enough for you.

Guys are like that. They dont know how to properly express their feelings.


So i have been going out with my boyfriend for about a month and a half and it seems like recently things have been a little dull..any ideas and how to spice things up in the relaltionship and make things more exciting? (link)
There are a ton of ways to spice up a relationsip. Basically do things that you wouldnt normally do. picnics, one-on-one sport, talk about different subjects.... etc.

Heres something my boyfriend and I do:
Once a week we play poker. Before the game we each write down 5 different things on small pieces of paper that we would like to win (ex: back rub from the loser,Loser shares a fantasy, slave for a day, movie picks for a whole day by winner.... ) we crumble the papers up, throw em in a hat. Whenever you win hand you get a piece of paper. Read them at the end of the game. Offers are valid all week or longer if you want.

Hope I helped hun



Okay, im only 14 and i wanna have a baby SO bad. My parents dont really love me((ive been told)) so i think this would help me alot. i've babysat for YEARS and LOVE children. I wanna feel loved when i come home and a baby would do that, and i think teen moms are closer to their kids. I plan on gettin pregnant in 10th or 11th grade.Am i making a mistake by wanting to do this. (link)
Awww hun. I wish I could tell you what you wanna hear but I cannot. I think having a child at your age is a big mistake. One that I dot nkow if your ready to accept and live with.

I know life seems unfair right now and you are lonely but that will change. You cant look at your life right now and determine how you will be in 5 or 10 years.

I think that if your parents really dont love you that you have even more reason to wait. You should et yourself grow up and treat yourself really good once you are in your twenties. Travel, buy yourself nice gifts... experiance the world before you decide if you really want to bring child into it.

Hope I helped you in any way.

Does anybody know what the law is in texas about neon for under your car? is it street legal? (link)
in the state of texas underbody lights are legal, but cannot be on the front or rear of the car and only along the sides within the space between front and rear wheel wells. also they are considered a distraction and cannot be in the colors of red, yellow, green, or blue. i have seen blue lights on cars and i've seen these cars pulled over and asked to turn off their lights as other vehicles will see them and be distracted from the main job of driving which is paying attention to the road. and another issue with them is that in the state of texas which is the state with the highest rate of drunk drivers in the US and drunk drivers have a natural ability to drive towards any sort of light. those lights on your car on any random empty texas highway on any given night would be an open invitation for a wreck. and finally i gotta tell you underbody lights just look tasteless, cheap, and goofy. it does nothing for performance, or power, it does nothing for the driver or any other drivers on the road and it's basically a waste of money. i don't have a problem with people spending their money i mean hell that's economics but don't throw your money down the toilet on purple lights to slap on the bottom of your honda civic (which isn't a cool car to begin with) just my honest opinion on the subject


Okay well, I really like this guy. He's everything I want. Funny, intellegent, cute, long hair, sweet, kind and he skates. There's nothing more that I want then for him to like me back. The bad thing is that my friend likes him to. No one knows that I like this kid and I've been hiding it for a really long time. I don't think he has a clue and we are good friends and I don't want to ruen it by telling him that I like him.

I need help and FAST.

I'll rate for the advice you give. Just help. :{ (link)
OMGOSH SAME THING- mine is the same guy but his name is jon


i like this boy. i don't know if he likes me. he's cute, smart, and funny. i like this boy so much. i don't know what to do or say. can u please help me. i will rate high. thanks
sincerely,
someone (link)
Just start small.. by saying "hi" each day or whatever. As each week progresses, ask him how is day is going, or what his plans are for this weekend. Ask him for his email address or whatever. It's easier to talk on the computer than in person. You'll get to know him better. And soon you guys will be friends. And you'll be comfortable asking things such as "will you go out with me?" haha. I hope I helped.


Okay for no reason my friend missa dumped me! (we were BEST of friends) and so my friend brit asked if she was mad at her... she said no

You should dump her if she comes crawling back


ok i have a problem i lied to my boyfriend once and now he never believes me about anything and i want to gain his trust back but im not quite sure how...can you give me any advice? (link)
Building up trust takes time. The best advice I can provide is to make sure he understands how sorry you are about lying and how bad you want his trust back.
Be trustworthy. Don't lie to him - one of the main ingrediants to a healthy relationship is trust and honesty.
And you could ask him how he thinks you could earn his trust back.


Okay, so this is my fourth or fifth period, and I still don't use tampons. The catch is, next month around this time, I'm going to the beach. So I really want to learn how to use tampons for future reference. I tried just putting in a light one, and it hurt sooo bad. I put vasaline on the tip and everything, I just can't get it in. Any tips for putting that damn thing in? (link)
First of all, dont try it unless you are on your period because its going to hurt.

Try to be as relaxed as possible and try your best not to get tensed up otherwise it will hurt. Be slow about it and dont force it in.

Since this is going to be your first time I would try it standing up first with both feet apart or with one foot ontop of the toliet.

Also, the instruction page that comes with the tampons is very informational.

Hope this helped hun!



i cut myself and i hate it so much i dont know hwo to stop it is so addictive and i dotn talk to peopel who reayl understand how i feel im scared because me and my mom are best friends and i tell her everything but ever since i started getting realy upset and cutting myself i find it hard to tell her anything i know she is worried btu she has o clue i am cutting myself my realy close firend nows that i cut myself with a rubber band i told her becasue i wanted to see what she said btu she asked if i have ever REALY cut myslef adn i lied to her i just want to be happy and no depressed thanxs i hope you can help (link)
Although its probably hard to believe I know how you feel. Cutting is really really addictive and really hard to move past.

Go to recoveryourlife.com they offer many many ways to help you and offer support.

There are numerous ways to help you stop but not all of them will work for everyone. therapy, meds, supprt groups, affirmations, disassociation....

I struggled for years and years and finally got to the point where I looked at myself, covered in scars and hated the way my life was going. A good friend of mine had told me a saying- "Insanity is repeating the same behavior expecting different results."

That saying finally sunk in and I ended up living my life by it. Whenever I felt overcome with that urge I repeated that in my head. Also, going to that site and gettin support helped. I'm noting going to sit here and act like I'm totally cured but I'm doing a hundred times better than I was a year ago.

If you want you can message me any time and we can exchange emails or ims. I'm here to talk, listen and everything else.



I'm 17/f and I've been best friends with this guy my whole life. Our dad's were friends in high school so it's literally my whole life. His name is Ryan.

Ryan has a girlfriend that I just cannot stand. Last year she got me kicked off of my cheer squad at school and since then I've despised her.

When that happened they were dating and they way she got me kicked off was by showing my cheer coach pictures of a party I was at. At my school, cheerleaders aren't supposed to go to drinking parties and things like that.

Well I asked Ryan to talk her out of giving them to my coach because quite honestly, I never did anything like that to her and I never would have so I still don't understand why she would do such a thing. But anyway, he never talked to her about it and she gave them to my coach.

During this past week Ryan had bought her a beautiful white gold ring with a bow in the middle and in the middle of the bow there was a blue sapphire. He told a few people and it got around to her.

Monday after school Ryan and I were at my locker and she came up to us (him) and asked if he got her the ring. He said yes and she replied with "Ryan I HATE blue! You know that!”

That REALLY pissed me off so I said, "Yeah and I hope he knows you're a bitch too." Ryan told me to shut up and he walked off with her.

What kind of girlfriend would say that when her boyfriend bought her such a nice, expensive gift?

Every time I try to say something about her to him he gets all mad and tells me not to talk about her. Yet, I hear her talking to him about me all the time. And they're way worse things that I would ever say about her. I even have other friends tell me that she says things about me and he AGREES with her!

Today I went over to his house and walked into his room and they were in there. All I heard was "(my name) is such a bitch why do you even talk to her?" and Ryan said, "Yeah she just gets jealous sometimes"

If I were to say that to him about her he's have a fit! I don't know what I'm supposed to do here because it seems that he just doesn't care about me. She’s a bitch to everyone including him but he still puts up with it. Why does he treat her so much better than how he treats me?
(link)
I think she got you kicked off the squad because she feels threatened by you. Some people have problems accepting their significant others having friends of the oppisite sex. This, in no way, makes what she did right.

There are many reasons why he is still with her. He could really love her and is afraid to let go even if she is a royal bitch.

He could actually ahve a really healthy relationship with her and you just dont see the nice side of her.

I think the best solution for this is to talk to him alone, perferribly in person. tell him how you feel ( and really give yourself time to collect all your feelings and thoughts beforehand) Tell him that you think that his relationsip with her has put a strain on your guys' friendship.

tell him that while you want him to be happy, you dont understand why he would be with someone like her and that you could have never pictured him with someone like her. Ask him what it is that attracts him to her. Ask him why he allows her to bad mouth you but whenever you do it to her its not okay.

And the number one thing is to listen! Hear what he has to say about her.

Best of luck.


Something really bad happened to me when I was a senior in highschool with a guy. I thought that I had put it behind me and had moved on, but the thing is my tenth year reunion is coming up next summer and I'm terrified of running into him again.
I still get nightmares of what happened. Well he was really popular and I was a nerd. He found out I liked him and basically made sure I would be either humiliated or uncomfortable around him. He never once talked to me but he would wait for me to walk down the hall and then make out with his beautiful and popular girlfriend just to see my reaction. He would laugh whenever he caught me blushing, and would come right up to one of his friends whose locker was next to mine just to see me skirm. At my prom he walked right up to my best friend and hit on her and ignored me. He also treated me like this my first year of university because his girlfriend went to the same school as me. The last time I saw him was at the bar when I was 19. I walked up to him to tell him it was my birthday and he just ignored me and walked away.
Well the reunion is coming up and if he's going to be there I know I'm not going to have a good time, it will just drag up all these memories. The worst part is that I never told any of my highschool friends about this because they all liked him and thought he was a great guy, and I didnt want it to get out. It would just make me look bad and he would deny it anyways.
How should I act at the reuinion if he is there? (link)
How typical. He sounds like a real loser to be honest. People who treat others like dirt for no apparent reason are doing it just to make themselves feel better.

I think that if you do decide to go you should just ignore him. Have a good time and see some people you were friends with and just remember the good times.

Many people have gone through tramatic events and have learned to move past it all and cherish the good times. I think you should try that yourself. Its hard to njoy the time you have in this life if all you do is think about the bad things that have happened in the past.

Just because this guy was so popular in high school doesnt mean hes just as cool now. You need to go there and focus on yourself and how you have bettered your life after high school.

Your life is much to important to focus on omebody else that is nothing but a piece of crap.
