I'm young, but age doesn't represent your maturity or the number of experiences you've had in your life. I understand people when no one else will.

If you need me I'll be there. Just an email away. I of course have hobbies. I love writting stories and poems to express how I'm feeling. I also love to draw and I'm pretty darn good at it too!

I've been working since I was 7 years old. Yes, 7. It wasn't child labour or anything, so don't get excited. I just worked for people I knew for free. Of course now it is a part time career now and I earn some money for whatever I do. I'm still studying and intend on keeping my grades up too!

So, don't put it pass me that I don't know anything about career politics or work stress. I have that too. Since 7 too. hehee. :)

Good luck people

I wanna be what i feel like being! But if people start rejecting me, my life will be horrible I wanna be a punk is that a bad choice? I already aske dmy mom she seems fine with it. .and well I want that change! but should I not do it, 4 my friends? (link)
Personally, if you feel that that is what you want to do, and your parents have no violent objections, then go ahead!

I know that losing your friends might seem something hard to bear, but remember that not all friends are worth keeping. Just because you are turning punk doesnt mean that you'll forever lose your true personality right? If your friends are truly friends, then, they would understand.

If they don't, then they aren't friends to begin with. just remember that. I've realised over the years, that being honest and true to ones self is more important than anything. In fact I'd say that it's vital in any strong relationship. If you can't be honest with yourself, then, how can you expect yourself to be honest with anyone else?

If you want to do it, don't do it because of your friends, do it because you want it.

If you have any other troubling problems, feel free to email me at teri_advice@hotmail.com I'd like to have your thoughts about this situation.

Good luck,

I am a quiter how can i prevent it. (link)
one way to help yourself, is to set small achieveable goals. Once you are into the habit of achieving larger goals, move into slightly larger ones, then larger ones.

Always remember to keep your motivation up and ask your friends to help you out too!! Not all goals are boring or unattainable. believe that and always tell yourself you'll get there one day.

If you need any other advice, email me teri_advice@hotmail.com I really would like to hear if you succeed in becoming a non-quitter.

Good luck

Hey!

The fact that you still care tells me that you might still have feelings(in a non-platonic sense) for this guy. First, relax. He can't do anything to you. he's just a guy. Okay, so maybe
he ain't just a guy, but a guy that you liked. But so what? He's still himan. Take courage in the fact that if he ever tried to do anything to humiliate or disturb you, you could do worse to him.

I had this sticky situation once. I managed it by just acting normal. "But how?!" You might ask. It was very hard, but after the first day. It was a breeze. I just kept myself busy and chatted with my friends. I ignored him everytime he shot a look at me. He cornered me once, but I simply told him I was meeting my boyfriend. He back off.

I really don't think using lies will be necessary, but it's there if you're REALLY REALLY in trouble. Just hang in there girl. You'll do fine.

Hang tough and keep your head high
Faithfully,

Hey!
Isn't your boyfriend slightly childish? Anyway, I won't Quiz you on that. If you want the best advice in this particular situation, you got it.

Firstly, what I want to ask is, are you new to the whole dating thing? Well, if you are, no need to be ashamed. I was there once. we all go through this stage. It's the awkward don't know what to do stage. Relax. It's normal. In most 1st time relationships, you can expect this. what you REALLY need to do, is relax and be yourself. But you must be asking me, " What? Be myself? How can I be myself around a guy??" Well, relax. You can.

The reason you are having this problem is because you are nervous and just 'freeze up' when you two are together. Here's a trick. Just pretend that he's one of your girlfriends. Just tell him what's on you mind. Like 'hey, thats a nice shirt you're wearing.' or 'did you hear about the movie..isn't it really great?'

Another good way to involve your partner and to "prolong" the conversation, is to tell him stuff-ie the question before-and include a question behind it.

Confused? well, here's another example. "I just get the creeps about that boy in school. Why does he wear all that black anyway? Hey isn't he in your class? what do you think of him?"

that's a classic way to bring your partner into the conversation too.

Hope i have been of service to you. If you have any other questions and think I'm of any use, please feel free to email me at teri_advice@hotmail.com

Good luck and Bon voyage!
