Hey kids! My name is Amanda, but call me Manders. I'm a psychology/neuroscience/biology student. Throw me questions and I'll throw you an answer. :)

advice

I love my boyfriend but lately he has been acting so possessive! He doesn't want me to hang out with my friends (though it fine for him to hang out with his). He doesn't even want me talk to them on the phone when I happen to be around him. He is starting to give me the creeps. Any advice?

This is one of the first signs of an abusive relationship. My advice to you? Get out. Even if you are together, it's your life, not his, and he has NO right to control it.

Or, you can talk to him about it. Calmly. Ask him why he doesn't like you hanging out with your friends. Tell him that you don't like when he acts like that.

If you decide to talk to him, I suggest that you either are in a public place and you have a cell phone on you. If he snaps, you want to be prepared.

I would break up with him, though. A boyfriend is someone who makes you feel safe and special, not someone who scares you and keeps you from doing what you love.

I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!
