I am a teacher and I love working with teens. I am one of their favorite teachers because I do sit down and listen to them. I allow them to cry on my shoulder and have been noted as a second mother to many of my students. I enjoy answering questions from teens about their lives and when school is back in session I will have my students help me with the advice by asking them what they would do so hopefully that will further help any and all questions that do come my way.

ok well my friend is having problems but i don't know how to help her. she has family problems and she just moved so she doesn't have any friends where she moved and she is having so much problems but i don't know how to help. what should i do? (link)
Does she have email? Call her and talk to her. I think its awesome you want to help your friend and it sounds like you need to find some form of communication to keep in contact with her. If there is no form of communication, GET ON YOUR KNEES and Pray!! God will help!!


ok well but like i need her alot right now because of my mom and my sister we have never gotten along and now i feel like she is takeing my dad away and now i feel almoat like i resent her for the way guys always pick her its like i am the last option (link)
Are you sitting in the corner not saying anything to anyone? You need to sit down with your father and talk to him. You are his little girl and he loves you I am sure of that. Please go talk to him and hug him no matter what.


I feel like I am not needed. Like I don't have a purpose on this Earth. I feel like if I was gone, no one would notice. And I honestly believe that no one would. I would be gone for weeks before any of my "friends" noticed I was gone. And my family, they would all move on extremely quickly. I am always forgotten, left on the sidelines, doing nothing, locked up in my room, wishing that someone loved me....

How do I get pass this? (link)
You need to get out there and be yourself. Don't be afraid to speak up, maybe that's what everyone is waiting for--to hear you. They know you are there but may feel that you wont enjoy yourself because you don't include yourself in anyway.
I suggest starting off slowly and asking your friends if you can participate in the activity. And by the way, they would miss you, trust me on this one!!
I hope this helps and by the way, this too will pass and getting away from your shyness will definitely help it all go away!!
