I'm Em.
I'm a 20 year old English/History student living in Sydney.
I dig art, music and books.
I'll take questions on relationships, friendships, high school, uni, or whatever else.
I try to give the best advice I can, usually drawing on my own personal experience. But I'm not perfect, and sometimes when I look back on some of my advice it's far from it (especially when I was 15 and writing LiKe THiS). It's just advice, though. It's not an answer or a solution, it's simply a potentially helpful perspective. And that's all I can offer you.

Ok so im having the worst christmas break ever. Im sick with a cold, a sore throat, and my left ear is in a lot of pain and I've been sneezing ALL DAY!!!. I tried getting myself better using medicine and all that but I just seem to be getting worse. My car's transmission went bad. So i have to get a new one for over 2,000 dollers. But i have to buy a new car INSTEAD. If someone can help me find a cheap car that would be great because I've looked everywhere online. I'm 19 btw. And I worked overtime last night to make more money. I have nothing to do for new years because I don't have a car. I just got my period today so I'm really moody. And I've been crying for the past 2 hours. :'( My mom wants me to go to this single's dance tomorrow but I hate those I would rather just hang out with my friends and my boyfriend. I don't know what to do. My life is a wreck. I was car searching for about 6 hours too. Please help I'm so stressed and unhappy :( (link)

Sugar you're just going through a hard time. Everybody goes through them at various points during their life. It's just hard because you're at the point in your life when you have just become an adult and have to deal with all of these things on your own.
For the sickness: You feel worse before you feel better. If you haven't seen your doctor already, go and get some prescription medicine. If you have, then just go through the meds, stay inside, keep warm, eat some chicken soup, and COLD foods help your throat more than HOT foods (you can google it!). Even ask your parents if they can make you some food if you live out of home so that you don't have to cook for a while. Just stay in bed, try not to talk so much to save your throat and relax! Watch some dvds, read a book.
For the car: That really does suck, but life goes on. I live in Australia and have no idea where you live so I can't really help you out, but tell people on facebook you're looking for a car, let your friends know, and keep looking online. When you feel a bit better, go out with a friend or family member and look around at cars people have on the sides of roads and what not that they're selling for a decent price. Avoid dealers as they charge far too much.
For New Years: You shouldn't be going out anyway! You're sick! You should be in bed trying to get better. There will be other new years celebrations for you to attend, so don't worry honey.
For the period: It'll be over in a week.
For the singles dance: I'm not sure if it's happened or not, but just tell your mum you're sick.
Life gets a bit hard sometimes and it is stressful, but it will go away soon. Keep your chin up and get through your problems one at a time.
