Don't commit suicide! You have a whole life ahead of you. So what if you run into problems. Pick yourself up and it'll make you stronger. Making mistakes will only help you learn. Problems are a part of everybody's life and people recognize when you can overcome them. You have people who love and care about you. It will hurt them more than you imagine if you commit suicide. Please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) if you still feel suicidal.


Okay, so im 14. And i started dateing a boy about a month ago. We are so close and we love eachother. But everyone keeps telling me that im too young and i dont know what love is yet. (Family members). I dont know weather i should trust them or not because ive never felt this way about a boy ever in my life. Am I too young for love? (link)
This is one of those questions that are subject to interpretation. In most cases, yes being 14 is too young to know what love is, but there will always be those exceptions to that rule whether people like to admit it or not. It's really impossible to tell now. The true test of love is time. If love between people can last through whatever time throws at them, then it probably is real love. Since it is a newer relationship, and you are still young, it would be hard to tell. I hope this helped and good luck with your relationship :)


How do I stop being so nervous when I have to present in front of a class?

Every time I have to present something in class I get nervous standing in front of everyone. My knees shake and my voice starts trembling and changing. I had to present yesterday and my knees were shaking in front of everyone and my voice was shaking. It was embarrassing. I know most of my classmates, I don't know why I get nervous. I can't just pretend Im presenting to one person either. Sometimes I get so nervous people Laugh at me. I have to present something again on next tuesday. Now I'm taking a speech class this semester, so I have to talk in front of the class and read sdon'thes and I dont want to be shaking and nervous, so how can I stop my knees and my voice from shaking? (link)
I know exactly how you feel. Even after years of countless presentations and musical performances, I still get nervous going up in front of people to say or do something. It takes a lot of practice, but the best thing to do is to pretend that you're practicing your presentation and focus on making it the best one you've had rather then on the audience. Instead of giving people a reason to laugh, show off your confidence (there's some in everybody) and your knowledge. I hope this helped and good luck with all future presentations :)

I'm not sure if you know this, but don't stop eating or do any of those diets where all you eat specific foods and drink water only. Your body needs all those other vitamins and nutrients.
Now that that's clarified, the best thing to do is get the recommended amount of food from each group (here's a good website to explain: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/Fpyr/pmap.htm). When deciding what food in each group to eat, some are better than others. For example, wheat bread (or even white-wheat if you don't like straight up wheat) is better than regular white bread. Most foods have the nutrition facts section. I believe most of them have serving sizes and the healthy % for each day. Look at those too. Try to stay away from foods with high fructose corn syrup. I could go on and on about what and what not to eat...But basically don't eat too much or too little of things. Another thing that really helped me was to cut down on the amount of junk food I eat throughout the day. Giving up nice foods like chips, desserts, and condiments helps a lot (and it makes them taste tons better when eaten in moderation). And lastly, you should develop an exercise plan. You sound motivated enough to take 30-60 mins a day to do some simple exercises. The website below can help you create a personal exercise plan:

I hope this helped and good luck with losing that weight! :)


i have been waking up in the night going to the bathroom having diareah and sometimes not makeing it to the bathroom, i have lost wheight and i have been feeling weak lately I am not that old and i am scared plz help me! (link)
You should go see a doctor.


So my hair is pin straight and I hate it. I can never get it to curl or "scruntch" no matter what I use or how long I do it for. I love curly hair and I want corkscrew curls I've been searching forever on how to do it and my friend told me to get a perm. But I don't want to keep getting them over and over again or it to damage me hair. Should I get a perm? How long do they last? How much do they cost to get done proffessionaly? (link)
Before you get your mind set on getting a perm, there are other ways to curl your hair without using heat or damaging you hair. My hair is fairly straight and usually doesn't curl well or keep curls for long. Below are some of the ways I use to get curls.
French braiding your hair is a good way to get looser curls that should last. I wash my hair at night and wait until it's damp and french braid small sections of my hair (the less hair in each braid, the smaller/tighter waves) and take it out in the morning.
Another way, is to use sleep in curlers. There are many different kinds and brands. The one that works that fastest and the best are ones that have wire inside. You can buy these almost anywhere.
And for less use, clamp less curling wands (I own a variation of the Remington curling wand) are amazing. A cheaper brand that's really nice is Remington. It takes some getting used to, but the curls last for about 1-2 days. Don't forget to use heat protecting spray if you use heat products like this.
And for the answer to your question, the website below has some good information:

Sorry this was so long, I just wanted to offer some other suggestions. I hope this helped :)


I was just wondering whick one I should get for my 14 birthday. My mother said I can get one of the two...so should I get an iPod or a bass guitar??...I was leaning more twoard the bass because I really want to learn bass and start a band. I actually want to be in a band by the time I'm 15 or 16. I don't really know why I want an iPod cuz I have a cell phone....so which should I get?? iPod, or bass guitar?? Thanks!! (link)
Most phones nowadays allow you to put music and apps on your phone similar to what you can get on an ipod. So I would go with the bass guitar. It's a great instrument and could get you further in life and friendship (in my opinion) than an ipod. I hope this helped :)


what is the latest age i can get my period? (link)
There isn't a set age that girls can get their period because every girl goes through puberty at a different time. Some girls start it at a younger age, others when they're older. If you think you're having problems, go see a gynecologist. I hope this helped.


Ok there is this giy and he has liked me for a long time and he asked me to go to the movies with him and his family... I dont know if i really want to go because i think my boyfriend would get upset that i want with this other guy that likes me even though i dont like him back.. please help!!! DX (link)
If you're going with him AND his family, it shouldn't be a problem especially if you're friendly with his family. Go if you want. Tell your bf the truth, that your hanging out with him and his family. He should trust you enough to be able to do that. And remember that your bf doesn't control you. I'm not suggesting that you should go out and do anything stupid, I'm just saying that you should be making your own decisions, not your bf. I hope this helped and good luck :)


My Mother gets mad at me all the time. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, or feeling upset, instead of offering sympathy she yells at me and gets angry. It's pretty aggravating and it's caused me to realize I can't talk to her about anything and expect to come away with any meaningful advice. So, I can't talk to my mother, but neither can I talk to anyone else. I don't have a best friend, I'm distant from my Dad, my brother is too reserved and shy to talk to me about my problems, and I'm not close with any teachers at school.

The good thing is I don't have any gaping problems that I desperately need advice or comfort on. But it makes me sad that I don't have someone to talk to about my usual teenage troubles--like boys, friends, drama, classwork, etc.

How do I get my mother to start listening to me and stop being mad all the time?
(link)
My mom is the same way to me sometimes. I actually found out that the reason she was distant and always angry was because that was similar to how her relationship was with her mom. It is very frustrating not to have your mom there for you. Wait for a time when she seems to be in a good mood and tell her how you feel. Chances are she might realize what she's doing and make an attempt to be there. Of course, it's not all going to happen at once. It is an ongoing process and you have to take it little by little. In the meantime, if you ever need anybody to talk to, just send me a message. I hope this helped and good luck with everything! :)


Hi
13/F
I am in love with a boy that is 17. I know he is 4 years older than me but to me age don't really mater to me. So I like him but I don't really know if he likes me. We are not close but we are sort of friends he is really hot and I don't know wat to do. He have 2 brothers and I don't want them to know but I think my nephew told them can you help me pleas
PS don't say flirt plz. O and he lives on a farm
(link)
You're probably not going to have too much of a chance if you aren't close with him, and chances are you probably don't know him as well as you think you do. I know age might not matter to you, but it is important because of differences in maturity. Honestly, it's not a very good idea to try to get involved with this guy for many reasons. Try to go find a guy closer to your age.


This will be long and i would like to thank you for your time and patience. First, i'm an introverted type of person and i generally have difficulty making friends. I tried to become friends with one person. I hanged out with them several times. I really don't know where i stand with this person. Sometimes they are friendly. Other times they ignore me with their friends. I ignored them only to find that they were very unhappy and a little saddened. Recently i ignored them in class and they smiled and were trying to say hi.
I found them later talking to a friend and they seemed quite unhappy. I don't want to be a fake friend to them, and yet i don't want them to be a fake friend. How does one act maturely in this situation? (link)
You could try talking to them about it. If that doesn't work, then just stop hanging out with and talking to that friend if you still feel like he/she's a fake. Don't straight out ignore them, but just casually start "drifting away" and try to make friends with some other people. I hope this helped and good luck :)


I'm a sixteen year old girl, and, for the past three years, I have been dealing with unexplained memory loss and difficulty with facial recognition. This problem of mine began in 2009 when I started having difficulty visualizing events that I should be able to remember (like birthday parties and family trips). My parents didn't take me seriously, so I tried to ignore it. By mid-2010, however, all of my memories of everything prior to 2008 had vanished. At this point, I've learned to cope with it.. I just figured that, if I'm happy and successful today, my past isn't a big deal. It bothers me, though, because not only do I have to live in the constant fear of losing my memory again, but it also takes me anywhere from days to months to create a mental ties between faces and their corresponding names. I've tried to find an explanation for this for a while now, but everything I read said that my memory loss could be the result of a head injury or substance abuse, which doesn't make sense yet again because I've never taken drugs or alcohol in my life and I don't think I've ever had a head injury. Since I didn't seek medical help when I first noted these memory problems, I know that it's probably too late to try and retrieve my memories, but if anyone knows anything about this, I'd really like to be able to understand... :/ (link)
You should go see a doctor. They will be able to help you, not people on an advice website.



I got measured at the mall and they gave me a bra size too big. They told me I was a 36 DD and then someone else said I was a 34 C. MY bra's never feel right. Where can I get a good bra that fits? (link)
I've had problems like that before. One thing that I've noticed is that your bra size will vary between different brands and different materials. The best thing is to do is to try on different sizes for the same bra until you find a size that you feel comfortable with. Depending on how much you want to spend on bras, you could go to Victoria's secret (too expensive for my taste) or places like Kohls, JcPenny's, and Marshalls that still have a wide good variety and a lower price. Brands will also vary depending on what type of bra you want. Just don't forget to try it on and make sure it fits first! good luck :)


I am a college student and I'll be goig on a cruise in the Bahamas for spring break. I am very skinny (100 lbs and I'm 5'3") but I want to be toned and have mire defined abs especially. What is a good work out routine that will get me more toned within the next 2 months? (link)
First, you should work out an exercise plan. This way, you have a basic outline to follow to prevent working too much or too little. Also, don't do too much of the same thing. For example, don't just do ab exercises. Balance it out by doing different exercises for different muscles. A really helpful website is ehow.com and just search exercises. They have tons of different choices and gives great tips on exercising. Good luck :)


Hi so i wanted to know how do I ask someone out in a good way. I need lots of ways cause I'm really shy and like this one guy. Btw im female and thirteen years of age. (link)
The easiest way is to make sure you're both alone and just ask him "Do want to go out?" or "Do you want to be my boyfriend?" or something along those lines.


i have this guy friend and i am slowly starting to fall for him but i know for that he doesn't feel the same way about. but he always likes to talk to me and he's always staring at me. so maybe he might have some interest? idk but i want to tell him just to be honest with him because i don't want him thinking that i am only having friend feelings for him when i really want something more. what should i do? (link)
I was in the same situation last year. It never turned out well for me. The guy I fell for and thought liked me turned on me and went out with my best friend. Now he doesn't even acknowledge me when I see him now. Although I know our situations are different, you should only go as far in friendship with him as it would take for you to not get hurt because in the end, your friendship would be worth nothing if you are unhappy or hurt. If it means staying away from him, it might be better for you especially if you know that he doesn't feel the same way. Stay friends with him if you know it won't hurt you but if your sensitive like me, try and go find another guy so you don't get hurt. I hope this helped and good luck :)


13/f
Theres this guy in my class whos been bullying me and harrassing me and I just can't take it anymore. Today he just went to far, he slapped my books out of my hands,kicked me twice, and told me i'm a b****. I hate what he puts me thruogh and i'm scared. What should I do. Please help me. (link)
I'm really sorry that you have to go through that. You really should tell an adult or teacher (if it happens at school) that you trust about this especially because this sounds like it's been going on for awhile. I know that you're scared, but this will go on until you can tell somebody that will help and intervene. This guy needs to know that it is not okay to treat people like that. The adult or teacher should to their best to deal with it. Try to avoid the guy as best as you can and try to stay near other people at all times so he can't do anything without having witnesses until something is done. You'll be in my prayers and good luck with this :)


Okay so there's this guy and he has a girlfriend who lives four hours away, i used to really not like him and thought he was annoying. But then he started shouted down the hallways of school to me "I LOVE YOU!!!" and then later on he started running up to me and hugging me, then running off as fast as possible, sometimes he'd whisper something in my ear too. After awhile i started liking him and i already knew he liked me because he'd talk to my sister and best friend about it and then later he told me he liked me. But it confuses me because he says "i love u" to his girlfriend and he says he means it, they've been dating for two years, on and off. And he wont break up with her for me, which he told me during an argument. He's really a great guy, humorous and outgoing, but not popular, and i can get into really deep conversations with him, he doesn't act like the typical guy who just wants sex, either. So can anyone tell me what's going on here? (link)
He probably likes both you and his girlfriend. That actually happens with tons of people. They can't make a decision between the two people they like. If he's still involved with her and says he loves her, then you should try to keep it as a friendship. Trust me, it won't be good for ANY of you if that's the case. If they break up and he's over her, then you should go for it. I hope this helped and good luck :)


I have this problem, you see, i dont feel love. I dont have that emotion.. I currently dumped my pregnant gf because i was tired of living the lie of love. I feel lust. but i really thought that maybe a while after being with her and experiencing everything with her i would feel love. but no. i feel no love towards my family members, friends, or exs, not even my son who is due in april. im saddened that i cant even feel love for my son. ive been super depressed lately and i know ive hurt her emotionally but i still can honestly say ive never felt love, ive felt loved, but i cant love anyone. Ive been this way since i was a teen. My childs mother has tried helping me, shes not really concerned that i dont love her but shes concerned that i feel nothing for my son. What is my problem? What is wrong with me? What is this called? (link)
Apathetic is the word.
Honestly, you should try talking to somebody about it. Maybe a therapist? There's really no way for people online to be able to fully answer your question.
