i am really having a hard time right now. my parents and i are always fighting.and im not gunna say its allt there fault but like i juss start screaming or they juss start screaming and i cant take it. there so much anger going on in my house. they just dont like me. i cant remember the last time they said "i love you" i cant talk to them about anything. i mean like we say hi and bye and stuff but thats about it. i dont get along with them and they dont get alng with me. i alway dont really have "friends". like sure there are people that i hang out with on the weekends and at school and stuff but i dont have friends like every one has where you can like cry on their sholuder and spill your heart out. not have friends has just put so much on my mind that i cant concentrate in school and my grade are slipping and then my parents scream more. also i have never had a boy friend and thats not that much of a big deal but it make me feel more unloved. i need someone to open up to. i have thought about killing my self many times. i even cut my self for a while but now i stopped. i cray my self to sleep EVERY singlt night. i need someone. i feel so lonely and deserted

im 13/f if that helps (link)
Just because your parents yell doesn't mean you are unloved... my parents yell at me, more so when I was your age then now, but I felt sooo terrible, finally I told my mom in a fit of tears all the yelling made me feel like I couldn't do anything right and made me feel like crap. You're at a frusterating age, a time when you want to fit in, yet stand on your own and conflicts happen... all you have to do is talk to your parents about how you feel, or tell them you think that you as a family should go talk to somone to work your problems out. As for friends, I can definetly relaite, don't worry about a boyfriend. I was 17 before I got my first and waiting till I found someone really worth my time was the best thing I ever did, sure I wanted one, I wanted to be "normal" but I finally asked myself "What was the point? 99.9% of the time you won't marry that person, you probably won't even be good friends after it's over, so why rush yourself into it..." I know it's hard to tell yourself that, but just keep doing it, you're not abnormal, if anything you'll learn from other people you see what a bad relationship is and when you get one it will be better and more meaningful than the pety ones your friends have. I never really had close friends at your age, till I got involved in horses. when I did that I met people I could really relate to, better than the few aquantences I hardly even had. You need to find something like that to do, build your friends off some activity you enjoy doing... like sports or anything? if you really feel so sad and hate yourself a lot of the time, don't be afraid to ask for proffessional help, you may have depression, a lot of people have it and it's very treatable, don't feel bad about having someone look into it, you shouldn't have to hate yourself, and don't feel unloved, because if you really were gone I know for a fact you would be missed a lot!


I like this kid named Orlando...I just look at him and I melt. But the thing is, I've never ever talked to him before, and he's never talked to me before and I'm so confused because I don't think it's just a crush, and he is just so cute and funny from what I've seen from him.
In the beginning of the day at school all the students have to go into the cafeteria because classes didn't start yet...and usually I walk in and only him and his friend are there and he looks at who came into the caferteria and I feel like I'm gonna trip or something because his stare catches me off guard....
As you can tell...I like this kid, and my mom works for the Board Of Ed in that particular city, and she lets me do some extra help with her work and she pays me for it. Well, since he goes to the school in the city my mom works for, one day when i was doing a job I came across his address. So my question is, do you think it would be like I'm stalking him or something if I write him a letter just saying how I felt about it...because I'm only going to write it when this school year is over so if anything happens I'm not there. (I know..but I'm shy and I feel like this is the only way I could do it) If I explain to him in the letter that I'm that girl (because he's seen me before, and noticed me) then do you think this is a good idea? Please help me...I really want him to know, but I'm extremely shy.
I'm very sorry for the length, but Im desperate. (link)
Why not write a letter and put it in his locker or something, sending to his house might freak him out a bit...you could also try and talk to him... you never know he could be a real jerk... trying to actually get to know him before you tell him you like him might be a good idea... but really mailing him is not a good idea...


I clicked their names ask them a question and all fo a sudden it appears int he public, im so madd! (link)
if you click there name and ask them... they can reject the question and therefore make it public since they didn't want to, or couldn't help


One of my so-called friends decided that she wanted to make stuff up about me, I guess to start a fight, but it's pretty sad that she has to make something up instead of saying osmething true that's bad, and it's pretty sad that she had that much trouble finding something bad that she made something up. Question is, do I confront her about it or not, because I heard it on the grapevine. I don't know if I should tell her to her face how pathetic it is that she has to make up something because she can't find anything, or if I should just leave her to think that she has gotten away with it completely. Can anyone help? (link)
I would confront her be strait forward and honest, tell her that you don't appreciate it and that is she has an issues with you to please take it up with you... be very polite and calm about it… be the better person... if she continues she's not worth your time... but don't go spread roamers back… just be really nice to her... say hi and smile and say nice things about her... believe me it becomes very hard to dislike and lie about someone if there really nice to you... if you smile and say hi to other people too it will just make her look bad...


Look I have this boyfriend his name is Buddah and he has a drinking and drug habit and wont stop until he get's probation.Also there's this perfect boy in school name Maurice and he want's to go with me,So should I break up with Buddah and go with Maurice or stay with Buddah??????? (link)
Buddha honestly sounds like trouble for the sake of your sanity I'd break up with him… What ever you do after is up to you... but drinking and drugs get you nowhere...


At my school there are some kids who think being Jewish is a bad thing. I am half Jewish and one of my friends is too. We always get mad when we hear kids saying it. Some kids say things like- You Jew- as if its bad. They dont even care who they say it to they will say it to christians catholics or jews. It really make me mad but I dont know what to do. Plus most of the kids who say it are in the popular group witch me and my friends are not it. What should I do? (link)
Well it's very cruel thing, Jew is thrown around nearly as much as Gay or Queer, and it suggests the same thing. The society we live in is predominantly "good white Christian’s," there are some people that don't really know what a Jew is and simply say it since others do, but generally speaking they say that because churches, friends, and society as a whole has filled them with the impression that being Jewish is strange and wrong. They say it because they're not jewish and because shows like South Park make it seem cool and ok... the best comebacks for that, is when you hear it is just to say simply, "thank you so much Hitler" or "you know Jesus was a Jew." it will make them think, and you know, popular or not, those kids are in the wrong, they are mainly victims of habit and it's only when people say something to them about it that they even realize the impact of it, and that is when you can start to make a difference. Don't say something all the time, try and ignore it, it's hurtful, but they are nothing more than a victim of society's hate and they don't even realize it...


so I got a little drunk at last weekend's halloween party (okay, more than a little, but that's another issue) and did some stupid funny stuff (okay, more stupid than funny but whatever). The problem now is that everyone in my office knows and keeps coming around... "feelin' alright, steph?" and all that. It is so not cool. Is there anything I can do to stop the gossip, or do I never get to live this down? Got any witty comebacks for me for when everyone's making fun of my oh-so-exciting performance? (link)
a good comeback? when they say something like that get all moral, and say how you were wrong and how it has effected you, and how horrably assamed of yourself you are... what kind of person are you for doing that... that might freak them out and they'll probably feel bad so i think the talking will stop, you could also try just randomly bursting into tears, that might cause new gossip though.....


ok heres my quesion .......i get good grades in school i look somewhat good......and i have a great voice....but i feel like i need to be somewht popularr.....and plez dont answer " who cares wht other people think" wht do i do? (link)
You want to be popular? You need to be personable, smile and say hi to random people, ask people how there doing, give people complements, did I mention smile? All those things make you seem like a nice person, also walk proud, don't cross your arms shoulders back, you don't want to look argent just like you have confidence in who you are, these things will make people want to be your friend, 'popular' people stereotypically are the independent friendly social people, if you really want other people to like you, you have to like yourself and be personable... You are desurving of lots of friends! Ok that said, being popular has its downfalls too but it should be fun!
