To make a long story short, I used to drink, a lot. Well after a friend passed away from a drunk driving car wreck, I tried not to, but I still did. Finally, I was able to give up alcohol. Since Thanksgiving I've had not even enough alcohol to fill up a wine glass. I'm proud of myself, especially since I'm 15. The bad thing is, I've started to cut my wrists again. You see, drinking took my mind off my problems, and I know it didn't solve anything, because not only were my problems still there, but I had a headach to go along with them. To try to stop myself from driniking, every time I wanted to have some kind of alcoholic beverage, I'd write a poem instead. It helped at first, it kept my mind of the cravings. But then the cravings just got worse. So I turned back to my old ways of cutting my wrists. I really want to stop, but I don't know any other way to just get out my feelings. Well, I do, it's just that when you're so frustrated, or upset, it's hard to think straight so you do the first thing that comes to mind. It's kind of hard to explain. And I would prefer not being told to talk to anybody, because I have, and I don't just mean talking to friends, I've talked to responsible adults too. After talking, I stop what I'm doing for a little bit, but after a week, or a month, or even two-three months, the stress gets so overwhelming that I start up again, and it's just not something I want to be doing. I know I want to change, it's just hard.
Any advice is appreciated. (link)

First of all, bravo on giving up alcohol. That is a very addicting habit that is harmful to your heath. As for your cutting, I know you don't want to hear it, but you just might need professional help. Even if it's just someone to talk to. Nobody can make you stop cutting but you. You need someone to talk to all the time. Not just someone to talk to you for a little while, but someone to talk you through the stress and anxiety you feel when you want to cut.
Good luck. If your a strong person, you'll get over this. Have faith.

I gave myself a fake tattoo with a safety pin and pen ink...that was about a month ago. Does anyone know how long it takes for it to fade out, or does anyone know how to get rid of it? it is a small tattoo, just a name written really small. (link)

Oh boy. Body modification is an extremely serious topic that must be approached with caution. NEVER NEVER NEVER attempt to modify your body by yourself. That includes ear piercings, "fake" tattoos, and body piercings.
Now on to the advice. The tattoo you gave yourself, was unfortunately not exactly fake. A real tattoo also inserts ink under your skin. There is a good chance that you will be stuck with that tattoo for life unless you want to spend a lot of money to get it removed.
With tattoos, always always take care to be 100% sure you want that design on your skin for life. Names are an especially sensitive subject and should more often be limited to the names of your children.

i have stretch marks around my nipples and on my upper thighs near my butt, how can i get rid of them? and are they normal? (link)

If you were born like that, there is a good chance that you cannot get rid of them. Stretch marks in any case, are entirely normal. I wouldn't worry about them unless they are causing you pain.

Jesus, I just got back from the Spelling bee. I had been studying like a fiend the night before (From 4:00pm-10:00pm), I had the whole Paideia memorized, and I was almost sure that I would be headed for Washington D.C. in a few months. OMG! GODDAMNIT! It was the first round, and they gave me a really easy word, and I completely forgot the word. The word was "notary." Isn't that an easy word? I bet everyone here can spell that word. I just blanked out on that word and forgot. They rang a little bell, and that signified that I was the 4th person out on the 1st round. I suddenly remembered how to spell the word when they rang the bell, but it was too late. I lost.
All of that hard work----flushed down the toilet. If it weren't for that stupid word, I know I could have won. I have never lost a spelling bee in my life. I need to talk.
Anyone who at least tries to make me feel better gets a 5 (link)

Don't feel bad because you lost one spelling bee. There is always more. Perhaps if you had studied a bit more and gotten more sleep, you would have done better. Next time, try studying for a few hours the entire week before the bee.
As for the actual spelling, I pat you on the back for being able to spell. I myself have an incredibly hard time spelling some easy words like awkward. I always spell it "akward".
