Q: I am only 15 and I already have a kid and pretty much my life is ruined.I hate bein a mom at 15 it really sucks.The father of my child is wonderful though.He helps and supports my child as much as he can although both of our lives are pretty much over.I can't stand gettin up every 2 hours to feed her.I really regret getting in bed with the father.It was the stupidest thing ive ever done.I now hate my life.I have a beautiful baby but a messed up life.I ruined my life to fast.I should have waited till I was older and well now I just don't know what to do.I love my baby very much but im just not so sure that i can handle raising a child along with going to school and working to pay for the expences of my child....Plz someone help me.I really need to know what to do.I don't wanna give it to an adoption center but that might be my only choice.I really need some advice so someone plz help.

Desperate for my life back and confused!!
Well if you dont want to take care of it no more because its to hard giving it to an adoption centre is the only thing you can do. Yes it is hard but if you really love her then there is places you can go to school where you bring your child into the school while your learning. Also just giving up that isnt the way to go though. I have two kids and there both 1 year old and im 17. So i know how your feeling but giving up isnt the answer im not really sure what you should do but i kept both of mine and just let my mom take care of them while i went to work. And brought both mine to school with me and while they slept i slept. But just because you love her doesnt mean that you have to spend every minute with her if you feel like you need to get away. Have a friend or mom or something baby sit her for a while so you can sleep or while you sleep have your boyfriend take care of her then when he sleeps you take care of her. Take sh ifts well thats what i got to say. Hope iv helped Dont be afraid to write back.

Q: i have a gigantic crush (not love) on this guy. but i know nothing will come out of it. i don't want to like him, but my heart is leading my head right now. how do i stop liking him?
Its hard to stop it but all you haver to do is stop hanging out with him or hanging around him. And dont talk about him to your friends. After a while the urge of likeing him will go away but the urge to like him will come back once in a while if you just got over him and you go to hang with him. But that will soon go away to. Well i hope iv helped a llittle dont be afraid to write back.

Q: I have all different kinds of friends in such, but i hang out with 2 of them more. Im not a girly girl( and im not a lesbian) i hate wearing skirts and dresses and i really dont lyk really preppy people tha wear houchie skirts and a half a shirt, but maybe tha's juss some of the girls that go to my school. I just don't understand why people wear that stuff when you know its unconfortable. Why wear high heels to school them you could be confortable. THey only dress like that to get guys attention. I don't like cheerleaders either they annoy me. I'm kinda skater and like to do things that girls normally don't do or arent that good at. Me n my best friend r crazy at those kinda things and fit in real easily with the guy crowd. Every place that i go i always get mean looks from preppy girls cuz i don't dress lyk a brittany spears wannabe. Why do you think people corner me cuz im skater and not a barbie doll?
Because your just like i am haha you just described me haha. But yeah they look at me funny because im a threat to them because scince there is more people like us then there is them. Plus its because they just want to make them selves feel good about putting others down or at least try. Because they want to do all that stuff but they cant so they put others down. Plus most the guys hang with us because we are one of the guys not just there girl friend. And they want that but they cant have it because there skanky bitches and we arnt.

Q: ur 17 with a baby!!!
wow.
Not a baby 2 babies there twins

Q: I am 16 years old weigh 115 lbs and im 5'4". Well I was trying on homecomming dresses at my friends house But every dress I tried on I felt soooo fat or shall I say I LOOKED so fat! I was about to cry but I couldnt cry infront of everyone. Homecomming is in about 1 month and a half away. Should I go on a diet or should I just tell my friends I cant go. My friends would be sooo mad at me if they find out im not going because I never been to a dance before. Its NOT as easy as you think it is. I been thinking about it day in and day out. I wish I could just accept that im fat! Do you know any good diets?!? Thank you sooo much
First off if you are 16 and you weight 115 you need to start eating because your under weight plz dont go on a diet i dont want you to become anerexic. And if you go on a diet that is what will surley happen. The way you should look at it is if they dont like you for how you look in a prom dress then screw em! sorry for the language. My suggestion is to get a dress that is skinny and is fit for your weight. But if you decide to go on a diet good luck its your decision and your body. Good luck! and i hope iv helped you a little bit dont be afraid to write back.

Q: Hey! I was wondering if anyone new any "Inspirational" Friendship type songs. The songs I have so far are; Wind Beneath My Wings, I Believe I Can Fly, I Turn To You, Live Like You Were Dying, Ask Me, Coming Out Of The Dark, Hero, Angel, Angels Among Us, Angels In Waiting, I'll Be (By Reba). I know not all of those are Inspirational songs. But if you know any that someone can realate to because of a hard time. Like Ask Me is about sexual abuse, or songs about anxiety or depression post them too! Thanks!
I cant remember the song title but its about a girl who gets abused and let down alot by her husband and then one day she eventually runs from him and gets away from it all its a beautiful song by martina mcbride i would suggest any of her songs because those are songs about alot of the stuff your looking for. And the rest of the songs i have probably wouldnt be your type of inspirational songs. Sorry if i didnt help much but i hope i did and dont be afraid to write back.

Q: Hi, I had a serious crush on this guy...and he used to like me too but now he has a gf and I don't think he likes me at all anymore. It hurts sooo bad...please I want to get over him and stop hurting, but don't tell me to try and like someone else because I don't want to like anyone else. I like him. Please, help me find someway to get over him because I can't take it anymore, and I need to stop lieing to myself in hoping that someday we might be together or whatever. Thanks for your help!
Ok i had this same situation to and i couldnt sleep or nutin without thinking about him. But what you do is just stay away from him for a little while and not talk to him or nothing get your mind ocupied with something else like books or something. Or hang out with friends and then after a while of doing this you will be over him. But also i cheated a little bit i used witch craft and i know i shouldnt do that but it worked its my own spell. If you want it write back! good luck and i hope everything works out for you. Hope iv helped dont be afriad to write back.

Q: Recently I went to New Jersey and bought a package of invitation cards and envelopes. I opened the package and threw them into a grocery bag (long story). It was very humid and the envelopes actually closed up! They don't sell these notecards here in CA where I live, and the envelopes are an unusual size and color. Is there anything I can do to open them?
Well i think you are unbeleivably s'cuse my language but screwed. If they dont sell them there either you can go back where you came from to get them or make envelopes your self. But what ever you do good luck! and im sorry i didnt help much but next time ill try a little harder to answer and give a little better advice. Dont be afraid to write back.

Q: School's coming up and I really want to have a school-year boyfriend, if you know what I mean. I want to meet some new guys this year and start going out with them. What's a good way to get guys to notice me more this year and for them to see me as more than a friend? Last year I had tons of guy friends but no boyfriends!
Hmmm that is a tough one.. All i could say is dont try and be someone your not just be yourself and if you like a guy just tell them. It might be hard so if you want just throw out hints to them that you like them and if your lucky they will pick them up. I dont know much to tell you i didnt do anything special to get my boy friend i have now but ok um good luck. Sorry i wasnt much help but if you need anything else dont forget to write.

Q: ok..my boyfriend moved to new jersey yesterday..but the day before he was on the computer and on his away message it said i luv jackie sfm...but thats not my name!! my names nicole..what does this mean!? is he cheating on me or like alot of people are telling me is it just an insider? i dont know what to do i really like him!!!! pleasee pleaseee help me!!!i really dont know what to do i like him sooo much! help!!!
Ask him about when he gets back online dont jump to conclusions it might be an ex. and he hasnt changed it just yet. If he likes you as much as you like him he isnt cheating and its just an accident. Just calm down and dont jump to conclusions ask him about it once he gets online and if he is then just simply tell him that either its you or him i cant play this 2 way thing. Well good luck and i hope iv helped a little. Dont be afraid to write back thanx!

Hey, my name is Kelley, a little bit about my life: Im 24 i have a 4 year old daughter, when i was younger i got into alot of trouble because i felt unwanted and picked on alot in school. As i grew up i got into several bad abusive relationships. Now that i have gotten out of my old life im crawling up from the ashes and making a new life. Im a great listener and i love giving advice, if youd like to give me a shot id try my hardest to give the best advice i can give. The reason some people dont like me is because i tell it how it is i dont sugar code anything and im very opinionated. Id love to listen to your problems and help out that best i can.
