I don't think you should feel guilty. You worked hard to get where you are. Some people are better than things at others, and you obviously are better than them at cheerleading. They'll find the right thing for themselves eventually. You should be proud of yourself! Be proud how well you're doing!
Hope I helped!

I can't tell you exactly why you're mad/sad.. I'm not a doctor =\. But I can suggest some things as to what you could do about it! Try talking to people about how you feel. Like a parent/guardian, close friend, guidance counselor etc. Maybe you should go to a doctor to see if you are depressed. It's a common thing with teenagers, and it isn't something that just goes away. You need the proper help an everything. Maybe you need to go to a counselor. Feel free to IM me anytime if you want!
Hope I helped!

I'm 15 years old, and 2 months ago, I was involved in a serious car accident. My friends and I were out having fun, the car that I was in had 5 people in it, and I was in the back, there was 3 people in the other car. It was about 11 at night so there wasnt really anyone on the roads so they decided to race. We were going about 80+ side by side on these curvy roads and it was icy because it was after a snow storm. After a couple minutes it started to get really scary and I was just getting really nervous because my parents had no idea where I was, and I kept screaming Slow down. They wouldnt slow down. The next thing I knew I woke up on the ground next to my boyfriend in a lot of pain and crying. I realized that we had gotten in an accident, I laid there trying to wake my boyfriend up. I heard sirens after what seemed to be an hour later, but was really only a couple minutes. I got rushed to the hospital with minor injuries, and after I got taken care of, I got the worst news of my life. The only survivors of the crash, were me and my best friend who was the driver of the other car, and my boyfriend but he was in a coma. I stayed with my boyfriend everyday and just cried and cried, he didnt wake up, he never woke up. His parents decided to just let him go because they wanted him to go peacefully and not have to deal with any pain. It is soo hard dealing with this, I look at pictures of the accident everyday just reliving that whole night, I'm sorry this is long but I was just wondering if anyone has had an experience like this and wondering how you dealt with it..? Please and thank you.. (link)

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that =(. I would suggest talking to someone; your parents, a close friend, a teacher.. whoever. Maybe you should see a counselor, many people deal with deaths that way. I hope you feel much better, just remember, he's in a better place now.
Hope I helped!

I would suggest talking to someone you trust, maybe your mom, best friend, guidance counselor, whomever. But holding things in can make things worse. You can IM me if you ever want to talk. Maybe you could consider asking your mom to take you to a counselor..
Hope I helped!

Whenever i have like.. time to myself, i always seem sad, and sometimes even when im with friends, family, or people in groups im in.. i never talk..because.. well im just sad. sometiems there are no reasons, and i always wonder why.. but other times, its because since im adopted.. i never met my parents, and sometimes i just want to meet them so bad that i dream about who i would be if i never got adopted and stuff.. then i start crying... can you help me stop this, or find out.. why???
THANKS IF YOU ANSWER!! (link)

I know how you feel, feeling sad all the time. I'm the same way, and I don't really know why either. The best thing to do is to talk to someone. Talk to whomever your guardian is, and tell them how you've been feeling. The best thing to do is to go to a counselor. There are anti-depressents too if it gets serious, and that helps most people become happier. And because you're adopted I think that could have a lot to do with it. I think it's be best if you went to a professional to tell them how you feel, and they can help you out. You can IM me anytime if you want! Hope everything gets better!
Hope I helped!

I'm starting to think i have some form of depression.Here lately I will start crying for praticaly nothing.I try not to cry but then I start to cry even harder and forget every thing good that happend in that day and start thinking baout my life sucking and me hating myself.Im starting to lose self confidence.I've got freinds who have to have anti-depressants for the same reasons im starting to think I need them the only thing is most of the time they go and get advice from people like special docters and stuff.But I dont like telling alot of people about my life it bugs me specially knowing a stranger knows everything about me.I was just woundering if someone could tell me some of the ways you can tell if you are having a depression problem and need to seek a docter to get medication.(sorry for it being long) (link)

It seems like you could be depressed. I know how you feel, it's a really sucky feeling. I would try talking to your parents about it. Maybe if you just talked to someone about your problems it would make you feel better. Not necessarily a counselor, but a close friend or something. If you continue to feel like this I would go to the doctor's and see what they have to say...
Hope I helped!

okay to start off i know i am not FAT. but i am 4 foot 11 inches and weight about 105. and i dont care what the scale says i care about the way i look. being so short for my age and having a regular appetite for my age doesnt help. i play 2-3 sports but i know i dont eat very healthy. i just dont like the way my stomach looks...my friends all say i am fine but really they are my friends what are they going to say?....
please tell me if you think i am just exaggerating or i should eat healthier/exercise more but PLEASE do it nicely...(i.e: dont swear and call me an idiot) (link)
|
I know you! lol... yeah so I honestly wouldn't worry. You don't wanna end up like me. And people see you from a TOTALLY different view than you see yourself. You honestly look fine.
Now, I know your not the healthiest person. Just try eating more fruits and veggies, be like me :D. You're just a picky eater lol. Hmm.. what about granola bars? I think those are pretty good for you.. rice cakes? idk lol

i used to cut and i've stopped but every once in a while i feel the urge again. my b/g knows this but hes the only one and it scares him. i tell him the truth b/c we're 100% honest but i dont know how to tell him its not his fault. he wont believe me. he thinks hes not making me happy enough (link)
|
Well, I'm glad you stopped first of all. I know how tempting it can be, and it takes a lot of effort to stop, so I'm proud you managed to.
I guess there really is no way of telling your b/f (I'm asuming you meant that, not b/g). You're telling him the truth, but he just doesn't believe you. Have you ever tried telling him why you cut? Maybe you could tell him he helped you stop (if that's the truth..). Or try telling him how happy he makes you, maybe you could write a poem or something.
-Hope I helped.
