Q: I'm a guy, and junior in high school. I am constantly worried about everything in my life. For instance what I'm going to wear, is my dad mad at me, am I depressed, what my grades are, is my mom alive, just everything like that, even if my friends are mad at me. I worry about everything it drives me nuts all of the time. And when I'm worried about that I can't concentrate on the important things like grades, am I doing the right thing in life, and just crap like that. I told my mom I worry too much and I even worry about her grown up things like who is going to buy my car does she have enough money in the bank. I need some help hear what do I do?

For the most part, your worries sound like typical teenage problems. I think we've all worried about all of those things at one point or another, some more often than others. The only thing that strikes me as particularly odd is worrying constantly if your mother is alive or not. Is it possible that you have OCD? (Please note that I'm not trying to diagnose your or anything, it's just always a possibility). I wouldn't say that counseling is the ONLY solution, but give it a try if you think it would help. It can't do you any harm, but in all honesty it sounds like you just need a friend to vent to. Find a friend you can trust with your constant worries; he or she may be of more help than a counselor could be simply because s/he is able to empathize. Or maybe even find a complete stranger to vent to; in my experience that's a hell of a lot easier & more comfortable. If you'd ever like a stranger to vent to, I'm here. My email address is listed on my column.

Thanks a lot Kailey.
