Maybe your mom hates how you dress and your friends because you guys are bunch of a (pre) adolescent bohemians("individuals") In other words, I'm calling you guys kids who dress and act differently for the sake of acting and dressing differently. Honestly, you guys are 12-14 years old, you don't have to label yourself as punk, or emo, or goth.

You also have to understand it from your moms perspective. She has a 13 year old girl that self labels herself "goth" and she hangs out with a punch of other kids who self label themselves punk, emo, prep, etc... Her daughter(you) also happesn to wear eccentric clothes and act differently. How the hell is she supposed to feel? She has every right to worry about you.

Also, I read your about me in your advice column, I'm sorry for the deaths that has ocurred in your life, but you've got to stop viewing life as a horrible journey that's just out to get you. You mention that you're hated by most people, which probably isn't true. MOst people are probably just intolerant of you because you act so differently. I'm not saying you shoudl conform, I'm just saying that they don't hate you, if anything, they're probably a lot of scared. You also say your whole family hates you, which is complete bullshit. If your mom hated you, she wouldn't care so much about what you do or what your friends do. The reason your mom tries to control you is because she cares about you. But of course, since you're 13 years old, you might not understand that concept yet.

Anyways, you also mentioned your mom wnats your female prep friend to come over. This is probaby because she is the most socially acceptable of all your friends and is a fellow female. Your mom simply wants reassurance that you're not hanging out with the "wrong" people. You can't blame her for that.

I probably sound like a 50 year old adult now, but the truth is, I'm still in highschool. If you met me, you'd probably think i was a comformist tool trying to fit in wtih everybody else. But i've done more "emo" shit than most emo kids have done in their lives. I've done more "gothic" stuff than what most gothic people have done, and I've just about as much "punk" stuff as what most punks have done. I've also seen a shitload of emo and punk bands live.

overall, what I'm trying to say is that your mom loves you and she's just worried about you(for obvious reasons) You also need to stop labeling yourself and your friends as punk or emo or whatever. Just be yourself, don't worry about the stupid sub cultures. You're also an emotionally angsty teen, have you ever considered doing something productive such as a sport or a club that would increase your self esteem so you wouldn't be so insecure about yourself? Also, you might want to talk to a therapist to sort out any emotional problems. Send me a message if you have any more questions.

So since about the beginning of May i've liked this boy and we talk all the time on the phone. Since like May 4th hes called me everynight (except for friday and saturday nights) and we talk for a MINIUMUM of an hour 1/2 each night. And i really don't think a guy would call a girl everynight for what 2 weeks unless he felt something there. and well so far thats really all hes done to make me think he likes me. but i really wanna find out if he likes me but idk how to. next time i'm on the phone with him should i ask him who hes likes or should i just come out and tell him or what? any advice would be greattt. thanks!

Asking him straight out who he likes will provoke him. He'll probably get defensive about it.

I can tell you however that he likes you. No guy would spend that much time on a girl if they wern't interested in her like that. If you like him back, I'd recommend just telling him how you feel or ask him out. Either way, there's no doubt in my mind that he likes you.

I've noticed that I hardly get excited over anything,nothing seems all that interesting,and it's pretty much IMPOSSIBLE for me to cry.How can I sort this out.Maybe find something that I'm passionate about,show some character,be something besides a total robot.

I want to go through all of my options before I see a doctor or something.

It's called depression.

I have it to, I haven't felt a serious emotion other than anger for a long, long time.

See a therapist.

what does is mean if you laugh when you make out? do any of you do it?

I suppose it means you're happy and extremely comfortable with that person. I suppose it also means you aren't making out solely because of lust.

I don't know what to do. I met a guy awhile back at a camp and i have been chatting with him for about 4 months now. I am in love with this guy and he is in love with me. Actually we're engaged even though that sounds crazy. But anyways yesterday he told me that pretty much everything he told me was a lie except for the fact that he loves me. He said that his feelings and thoughts about me were never lies, he only lied about some poetry he gave me, because he didn't write it. And he lied about being rich and owning these cars and houses he showed me. I dont know what to do because I love him and dont want to give him up but how do i learn to retrust him? What should I do, just let him go and move on? Or give him the second chance hes asking for? Please help its tearing me apart

I think the reason he lied was because he wanted to come off as a rich guy who was super sweet and wrote poetry so you would fall in love with him.(because rich guys are a lot easier to like)

I think you should just forgive him, the whole reason he lied was because he was so obsessed with you. Besides, at least he told the truth now.

he may be a liar, but his lies wern't that bad.

I have ADHD and I was put on Adderall around Janruary. I've noticed a HUGE differance, like I use to be failing EVERY subject but now I have all 90's+!
That bad thing is that I've lost more than ten pounds while being on it. Everyone has noticed a huge differance in my weight and people hint to me that I need to it. It's not my fault that I have no appetite when I'm on it.
And people say if I lose anymore weight I'll be too skinny.
I am 5'5" and a little under 110lbs.
Also, my mom always asks if I ate breakfast and whatever.. I don't like being treated like I'm aneorexic!

Adderall is an amphetamine, which is very similar to the drug speed. Amphetamines suppress your appetite and also causes your body to become very excited so you burn A LOT of calories. That's why you lost so much weight.

If it's possible to find other ways to study without being on adderall, I'd recommend doing it because Adderall is NOT healthy.

if you smoke ciggaretts can it delay your period?

I don't think it can. Your menstrual cycle is determined by hormones released by your hypothalmus and pituary gland, I don't think cigarettes affect those glands or breaks down hormones in your body. I know marijuana can mess up your menstrual cycle because it screws around with the hormones in your body.

So when I was 13 in the summer at a wedding reception, I ended up chugging about 2 glasses of red wine (and some champagne) and well after a little while I remember feeling severely depressed (I have depression, but it was unlike anything else) and I was running into the bathroom every 2 seconds because i was about to cry.

That night after it I couldn't stop crying from midnight-3 am, and i was shaking and breathing really fast and i really was so suicidal i was honestly about to do it right then and there. It was so weird.


Was this just the effects of the red wine that i was feeling? Because it seems like that wasn't enough alcohol to actually feel the effects of it.


Also- I used to drink about 3 sips of red wine a day for about a week- and I would always get hangovers every morning so I'd have to go and drink some then... But why was i getting hangovers from just 3 sips?

Everybody's body is different. However, if alcohol was the source of your problems I would have to say taht your body is very, very different. You might lack the enzymes to break down alcohol or your body might completely react to alcohol differently than most people would.

Or, like you said, you already ahve depression. Are you taking any anti depressants or other drugs? Pills mixed with alcohol can lead to some serious and unwanted side effects.

But a few sips of wine shouldn't do anything, unless if you lack the enzyme to break down alcohol, which is common in asians, particularly Japanese(not intending to be racist). If you do lack that enzyme, it could explain for your hang overs. I'd recommend you don't drink any more alcohol.

It sounds like at the wedding you had too much and your body couldn't handle it, since you alerady have emotional problems, it caused you to flip out.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

psychiatrists prescribe medication and diagnose you with whatever mental illness you have.

psychologists are just people who help you sort out your problems through talking to them.

I use drugs often,and it's usually for things like clearing my head so that I can think and for expanding my creativity.It seems really hard to work things out or be creative without them,so what I want to know is;how can I attain the same level of thinking without drugs?How can I bring that type of behavior into my every day life?

lmao.

if you're doing simple things like weed or alcohol, I doubt they're doing much to contribute to your creativity. You just might be used to getting all your ideas when intoxicated.

If you're doing stuff like LSD or salvia, then I suppose it could help your creativity. But over time, that stuff thrashes your brain and you'll lose the ability to be creative even when you're sober.

It's easy to attain the same level of thinking without drugs. For starters, try reading a lot of books. Just by having your brain process a lot of imformation, you'll eventually learn to think faster and you'll probably think of new creative ideas. Introducing yourself to new ideas also stimulate creativity.

I'm just really scared right now. My dad has
just got finished with hitting me over and
over again and he took a plastic hanger and
just keep whacking me with it on my toes. And
that kills! I kept trying to run away but I
was too in shock to move out of his reach and
my sister doesn't think anything of it because
he does it a lot so she thinks that's what your
supposed to do. After watching my dad hit me,
my sister frequently elbows me or punches me in
the stomach if we play hide and seek and she loses.
My parents buy my sister everything and play games
with her and treat her well but they treat me
like I'm a piece of crap. They call me "a piece
of shit" and "a waste of space." And they threatened
to send me to a shrink and never let me see my
family again. My relatives gossip to everyone if
I tell them my dad hit me and they don't believe
me so I can't tell them. I will NEVER tell my
friends because even though I love them dearly,
I couldn't trust them with that. Also, I hate my
guidance counselor and I just can't tell him. After
my dad hit me I had my hand on the phone and I
was just about to dial 911 but I got scared and
stopped. I did it once before but my parents
denied everything. Once I was on vacation and
my parents were verbally abusing me and this
lady heard and called the police but my parents
denied everything. Sometimes I give my parents
a reason to hit me like if we are in a fight
but I don't know I'm really scared to come out
of my room right now. I need all the advice I
can get and if you believe I should call a number
and tell them what's going on who do I call?
I want a professional. But if they take me away
from the parents, where will I live? I really
don't want to live with strangers in an
orphanage! Would they put me at a friend's
or relatives house? I'm just really scared and
I don't really want to leave my parents. But they
can be abusive and I don't know how much longer
I can put up with it! Help!!!!!


Sorry this is soo long.

Tell your guidance counselor.

If your parents threaten to send you to a shrink, accept it and tell the shrink what they're doing.

Call child services, see to it that you get sent to a better home and your parents get locked up.

I read a question about some girl drinking her boyfriend's pubic hair- and it totally grossed me out. Do people actually do that?

well with 7 billion people in this world, there's going to be a few of those people who happen to be complete idiots or have odd fetishes.

I suppose some people actually are willing to do that stuff, but the average person won't. It's probably something you'll see on jackass.

My life is really messed up. My mom has severe OCD and she basically ruins my life. She's a great person, although slightly annoying, but living with her is hell. My house is a mess because shes a packrat. We keep collecting junk. I can never have friends over because there's no where for us to hang around. They think my family is like part of the CIA or something cause I've never invited them over. I never have any place to work or do my homework. My parents are way too overprotective and never let me do anything normal teens can do like walk uptown or get dropped off at the movies. I'm not allowed to date until I'm a senior and even then its looked down upon. Once a guy friend called my house and she totally spazzed. & associating with guys outside of school is out of the question. My mom always nags me and has these random outbursts of crying and yelling. Plus she has a bunch of crap wrong with her, so she can't do much physically. Yet she does all of the laundry, dishes, and cleaning because she insists that i'll do it wrong-- the ocd. But then she complains when I don't help her. Most people i know couldn't deal with the shit I go through. She does stuff that moms arent supposed to do, like starts crying in the middle of a store for no reason, yells at me in public for the littlest things and insults me with terms such as bitch, whore, etc, and says it seriously. I've had an eating disorder for almost 2 years now and she hasn't even noticed. Don't tell me its bad, i Know, its not like I'm dying or underweight. I can stop whenever I want to. Anyway im basically wondering if anyone knows someone that behaves like my mom or has OCD that can help me deal with this, cause I just can't take it anymore. She deinies her probs & wont go on meds, so a psych. is out of the question.

How old are you? If you're almost graduating, I'd recommend just dealing with your problems for a bit longer and then escape your hell.

If you can't wait that long, I'd recommend talking to a school counselor or child services. There will be a lot of shit that will happen. For starters, they'll see that your mom find therapy or else they'll take you away from her, but I think any household would be better than the one you currently live in. If you have any good friends, they might take you in for a while.

What is your dad like?

on almost every tv show they beep out the bad words like fck, sh!t, asshole, dick, cock, or whatever else but why don't they beep out the word bitch?

It's because the FCC is retarded.

They want to bleep out those words because it's not suitable for younger viewers such as childen. But then again, censorship is looked down upon in america so they let some words, sitch as bitch, or ass, or dumbass slide by.

By the way, asshole and dick aren't bleeped out. It's just mostly fuck and shit and in some cases, the face of the prophet muhammed

STORY: Kerry said: Patti I think you are a size 5/6 in clothing; Even Stacy that works
with me pointed to you and said that girl has to be a size 5/6 in clothing:Patti you have
hips, but they arent big; Look at my hips, my hips are big, yours are not; At 5:00PM
Kerry and Patti walked to their cars together, and Kerry told Patti again that Patti looks
like a size 5/6. Patti asked Susan (a person who witnessed the conversation); Does Kerry
think I have big hips?; Susan: said; No Kerry doesnt, Kerry even told you that she does
not think you have big hips All Kerry is saying is you are thin but with shape. MY
QUESTION: don't you agree with Susan that Kerry didn't think Patti has big hips that all
she is saying that Patti is thin and small but with shape?

5/6 isn't bad.

So yes. I would agree.

Tonight my friend Jennifer had dinner with her brother, her sister-in-law, as well as her 2 nieces and her father at a
restaurant her brother, sister-in-law love. When Jennifer was driving her father home Jennifer said to her father in the
car: Dad did you like the place Carl and Susan took us to; Her father said; it was ok; Jennifer said; yeah I felt the
same way. And the portion of my food I ordered was huge; Any way her father said to her; yes your portion was huge,
but i dont think you liked what you ordered because you didnt really eat any of what was on your plate. Jennifer took
this to mean her father thought she should have eaten everything on her plate. She then said but dad it was a big
portion, and he replied: yes it was but you love vegetables and you hardly ate those so you probably did not like it.
ANY WAY Jennifer called me and told me what her father said and said to me: is my dad telling me I should have
eaten a lot on the plate or even everything; And I told her; no your father is not saying that all, your father does not
care how much you eat he just was just talking about if you liked the food or not; MY QUESTION: DO YOU
AGREE/CONCUR WITH ME?

A lot of it depends on what kind of person her father is and what type of person jenny is

if jenny is extremely thin, her father might be telling her to eat so she can gain some weight so she'll not be as thin.

Or, let's say jenny's father grew up on a farm or something. Most farmers hate to see food get wasted, so he might have told her to eat everything because he doesn't like food getting wasted. Anyways, my point is, there could be several reasons why jenny's father wanted her to eat everything.

But, there's also the possibility that he was just talking about whether she liked the food or not. It really doesn't matter that much, unless if Jenny has eating issues, then it might be about her dad caring about how much she ate.

This guy led me on then decided at the last minute that he liked another girl. My friend. I know by fact that he is never going to get her so i want to make shure he knows what he missed out on by not going out with him. We dont really hang out much anymore, but i do hang out in his group sometimes because they are my friends as well. There is also going to be a party we both will be attending next week. How can i show him excatly what he missed out on?!

You could not be a bitch. But then again, being a bitch is part of being female

Okay, so to answer your question, I'd recommend wearing something revealing to the party, possibly a very mini, mini skirt. If you don't have one that small, wear whatever skirt you have and a thong beneath it. Make sure some guys, but not him, see your bare ass during the party.

If skirts aren't your thing, wear jeans with your thong sticking out 3 inches. This will make a lot of guys notice you.

Depending on how old you are here are a fwe things you can do

Under 13-talk to a guy
13-14, if you've already had your first kiss, make out with another guy.
15-16, hardcore makeout with another guy, let him feel you up

17+ if you're sexually active, screw someone

So, my friend's boyfriend and she were making pubic hair shake and she drank it and now she's afraid she's going to get crabs b/c her bf has crabs. Can she still get crabs from drinking this after it's been in the blender

First of all, your friend is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really retarded.

Honestly, I cannot emphasize how retarded she is. Why the hell would she drink her boyfriends pubic hair? It's not sexy, it's just gross.

no she won't get crabs, the crabs will go straight down her esophagus, get caught up in the intestinal lining(mucus...also known as snot) where they will probably die. The ones who survive will go to the stomach where the stomach acid will kill them. If they manage to survive that, they'll get sent into the small intestine and get killed by the enzymes that break down organic matter. If they somehow survive that, they'll get pooped out. There is a very, very small chance the crabs will survive inside her body, but if they do, she should go see a doctor.

By the way, your friend is still really, really retarded. Tell your friend not to pro create, im pretty sure most people don't want her alleles in the gene pools of future generations.

friday morning when i was getting ready for school i put on blush and my dad saw me and was like r u wearing blush? and i said yes, and he told me he didn't wanna see me wear it anymore because i'm too young, (and i'm 13!) and he said that it gives you cancer! i was thinking wtf, but is this true?

ha

everything gives you cancer these days. There could be a chance that wearing blush gives you cancer, but if there was, which i doubt, it's really, really, reallly small.

your dad just doesn't want you using blush because he thinks you're too young, he's just trying to watch over you :)
