I've just started at university but am finding it really hard to make friends. While everyone else was able to make friends before freshers week in halls, I was unable to get accommodation because of living too near to the college- Now everyones become "clicky" and I'm left on my own. I find it difficult to make new friends at the best of times, but I've really been trying this week - but still, everyone I try and make conversation with ends up walking off with their friends. How can I make friends?? (link)
Join a club for sure


Hello. I read your advice you gave to someone about suicide. You told them they should go find a job because they had a hard time finding one after 6 months. You told them they should go to wal mart and mc Donald's. You do not understand wal mart and mc Donald's are not hiring either. I am doing to commit suicide too. (link)
Its not worth it. Think about other options that would give you everything you need, the military. and not necessarily combat, you could be a nurse or a engineer or whatever. look into it.



her mother is going to prison for a year for a forgery charge. I wonder once she goes if I should take my 13 year old daughter to visit her, but I am not sure I want my daughter to be inside a prison environment

it has nothing to do with her mother, she made some stupid mistakes but she is not a bad person nor was she a bad parent to my child, but it is the envioronment I wonder about (link)
I probably wouldnt. Thinking about how i would feel at age 13 seeing my mom in jail would be pretty confusing and scarring. Its a pretty sensitive age and it would be best to wait. If she was 16 or so, then she can understand everything. 13 is not a good age for that.


I plan on working out twice a day, drinking water and eating 1200-1500 calories. Is this possible?

Run early in the mornings. Get up , eat half a banana, some water, and go for a run. Get a heart rate moniter and google " heart rate zones" for how to use it. Each few weeks you go up a zone, increasing intensity. Eat 5-6 SMALL meals giving your body more time to digest and metabolize each one.


So I'm a bit of a body language enthusiast and he's hitting all the marks: dilated pupils, flirtatious body language, like by the book, he's showing all the body language that indicates that he likes me. Thing is he never texts me and said he'd never date someone younger (I'm younger by 2 years). But he may have been joking/teasing, I'm not really sure...
But anyway, those two little things right there are making me believe that I am just reading him wrong and that he doesn't really like me...and then I remember one day I told him we should watch a movie together and he said "I'd really like that" but we never really finalized plans. And one day I dropped a folded piece of paper with writing on it, and he jokingly asked if it was a love note....

So what gives? I'm so confused and I'd like to know someone else's opinion before I start developing deeper feelings for him.
And I mean deeper feelings as in reciprocating the attraction, not anything that crazy....
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and I'm an 18 year old girl. (link)
Honestly just coming from a guy, since he is older than you hes not gonna want to text you first. Your gonna have to text him first, and if he responds well , he obviously wants to talk to you. But just being older, as a guy you would rather the younger girl chase you than vice versa. It sounds like he definetly has a little crush on you so work with it haha


im a girl, 20 yrs old. i like my friend who is very close to me but iam so afraid to say this. iam in love with him for more than 1 year. he told me that iam very important to him and he considers me as his 1st best friend. what should do? (link)
tell him you like him in person. go to lunch or something with him. He could easily like you back. I had a crush on my best friend last year, and i didnt tell her until 6 months before she permanantly left for cali. just tell him, its not worth it trust me


I'm Male/16. I'm in 11th grade. I feel like I have lost my motivation. In 9th grade I was really motivated, I actually did my work with no problems, I slept fine and kinda talked to more people. Now, I just don't feel like doing anything, I always feel tired and sluggish. I miss work or hand it in late. I can't sleep right and I don't talk to much people anymore. It seems like everything is pointless nowadays, nothing is fun or exiting like it used to be. I miss feeling good about everything. I have no idea what's causing this but its pissing me off. What's wrong with me? It feels like I'll never progress and enjoy things again. I'm really tired and disapointed with myself. What is it? (link)
I think you should start exercising and lifting weights.It really boosts your overall mood and self-esteem. Even if you have no idea how to work out, you should get started by signing up for a weight lifting class at your school. Also you should go to house parties with a friend or two. as for the school part, i think you should think about how great life will be if you graduate to a good college and just be able to have a crazy time with your friends and everyone. Think about when after your done with college, you can make alot of money doing something you like, and buy what you want. You should look towards the future more. You dont want to be the supervisor at mcdonalds when your 35 or 40. you would want to be the boss of a company or a reporter or whatever you like to do. Pretty much so sum it up, start exercising and doing a sport, and think about your future.


Hi, i'm 13 and my boyfriend is 17.Me and my boyfriend had sex. It was my first time, but I think i'm pregnant.My boyfriend did some sex moves from a porno magazine and it hurt so much that I was almost crying.I'm to scared to tell my parents that I had sex and that I might be pregnant, they would kill me.What do I do I cant even sleep?Please help me. (link)
i dont think you should have a boyfriend that is 17 when your only 13 thats straight up wrong, especially to have sex at 13.I think you should tell your closest parent. if not, go get one of those accurate pregnancy testers from the store


so, at the moment im a little tan but i will soon be very tan and right now my hair is died medium reddish brown but my roots are huge and im thinking of dying it either light golden brown or a medium golden chestnut brown color? but i cannot choose so i would like other opinions. i have green eyes by the way and im considered a "warm" skin tone. please & tanks youuu :) im also almost 16. (link)
just keep your natural hair color its a turnoff for guys it makes u look kinda fake in a way


Is it dangerous if you bleed after masturbation? Even if you used penetration. Could it just be that you cut yourself inside? Is this serious, even if its happened a few times without bleeding? (link)
you need to stop for a while seriously


I have so much acne!! I am on six different kinds of medication, I went to a doctor, and STILL I have pimples! My face looks like a pizza!! I want to be asked out at a school dance, but no boy will ask me cause my face has acne!!! I am ugly!!! (link)
Ok heres what you could try and/or do. at night after you take a shower pull you hair back and get it all out of your face. get toothpaste , and cover your face with it everywhere you have acne. they next morning rinse it off and see if it works for you. if it doesnt work, try the same with shaving cream. i know it sounds pretty wierd but try it out it works for me. And about the you calling your self ugly thing, dont. its just gonna bring your self esteem low and its gonna make people not wanna be with you becuase you keep saying your ugly. im only 13 but trust me. alright i hope i helped!



When I was 6 my older brother accidently shot his wife, and then he committed suicide. My dad was effected so much by his loss that he started drinking, and ran out of control and became an alcoholic. Soon after, my parent's divorced and my dad moved away. In August of 2005, hurricane Katrina hit my house in New Orleans and almost destroyed everything. My dad quit drinking and moved back to New Orleans and helped my mom rebuild our house that September. My parents fell inlove and my dad didn't touch a drink. Two months later, he got very sick and he went to the doctor and we found out he has very bad liver cancer. My dad died April 1, 2006. I was just in 6th grade. I developed bad self esteem issues.

April 2008: I had devolped a lot for my age, I looked so much older. I started hanging out with older friends and got myself in a lot of trouble. I started drinking and smoking weed every weekend. One night in April I snuck out of my house with a boy that called me and told me he was by my house. I needed a cigarette really bad and my mom refused to buy me any, and I was punished so this was the only way I could get one for a couple days. I figured it was worth it. I snuck out and we went behind a school down the street. He started to kiss me and we made out, and then he kept trying to take off my pants. ( I think he was 16 and I was 14. ) I kept moving his hands so he would stop but he wouldn't, so I stopped kissing him and pushed him away because I thought he was using too much force on me. Then he held me down against the wall and pulled my shorts and panties off of me. I was so shocked. I was a virgin. He let go of me and I had the worst feeling I just knew something was going to happen. He pulled out a condom and a knife. He didn't do anything with the knife but he like showed it to me. I let him have sex with me. I was crying the whole time. He raped me. I told him no over and over again and he wouldn't listen to me. I was raped.


May 2008: I was talking to a boy before the rape and I really liked him. We started dating and he was my everything. He was mean to me like my dad was but I don't know, something about it made me like it because he was just not letting me fuck up and get so drunk and mess up and stuff. He cared a lot about me and I let him have sex with me. After we had been dating for a while, I told him about the rape. He helped me through EVERYTHING. He told my mom, which I got really mad about, but he just wanted to do the best thing he could do. I had to talk to millions of people about the rape and I was video recorded, had to explain the rape in EVERY DETAIL, photos were were taken, and my body was inspected head to toe. That made my rape even worse. The cops and doctors treated me like I was the criminal.


August 2008: The boy that I had was at a party and got drunk and made out with his ex girlfriend. We broke up. It was the most devestating thing that EVER happened. I still cry my heart out.


September 2008: I found out the boy I had just broken up with got a new girlfriend. I took 12 asprin to just make me feel "better" and I told my friend and she freaked out and made me go to the emergency room. I told the people in the emergency room about how I just didn't feel good, and they claimed I was trying to kill myself.

They made me go to a mental hospital. IT was the scariest thing I've ever had been to. They FORCED ME there for two weeks, my mom was not allowed to get me out. Our insurance doesn't cover much mental health and they took like ALL of our money. They held me just for the money. I DIDNT EVEN TRY TO KILL MYSELF. I WAS JUST UPSET AND THOUGHT IT WOULD PUT ME IN A BETTER MOOD.


November 2008: My mom would not let me out her site after everything we went through. The first night she let me sleep out, me and my friend went out and got drunk. I drank too much not realizing and ended up in the alcohol level of 0.47 and that was after I threw my heart up. They thought about sending me back to the mental hospital but THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T.


January 2009: A girl that is friend with my rapist (he coudln't go to jail because of lack of evidence :( ) claimed I was LYING about being raped. She got me so upset and so embarassed. She came up to my face and claimed if I really did get raped then I would throw a punch at her. She was being really loud and I couldn't take it and I hit her. She got me arrested and pressed charges. It was all part of her plan to get back at me. I WENT TO JAIL. THEY HELD ME LIKE A CRIMINAL

I got kicked out my catholic school. It was the same highschool my mom went to and it was her dream that I went there but when I got kicked out I got her SOOOO DISSAPPOINTED. I MESSED UP EVERYTHING. I JUST WANTED TO DO WHATS BEST.


Now we don't have much money anymore. The boy who raped me never stepped a foot in jail, but I DID. Only one income. No dad, no brother. My mom does not trust me. I have been through hell and back and I still miss my ex who helped me through everything. He's with his girlfriend still and I wish I could let him know how much he meant to me.
What can I do? I'm just 15 years old and I'm lost. I had talking about my problems to therepist because I JUST RELIVE THE EXPIRENCES EVERY TIME.

sorry for the grammer, i'm just too upset to even go check on that stuff :(

THERES NOTHING I CAN DO

I still have dreams about that mental hospital too. it ruined my life. The rapist ruined it. The girl ruined it. My ex ruined it. Why do I not have any control?

Ok im just a 13 year old guy and i dont really have much to say , but your life as a kid was just wayy over what you shouldve saw. I mean, i know people who smoke weed and say its ok and that i should try it and of course i say no. My dad was a heavy alchoholic and i was always forced to take care of my brother while
my mom was at work. I always would take my anger out by taking his beer bottles and smashing them on the ground. I think that maybe you strted hanging out with older people becuase you wanted to get away. i would like seriously reccomend finding another boyfriend, one that will stay with you forever. Also i hope that you stopped smokong weed and drinking, im telling you its gonna be horrible in the future. When someday you have kids , you could be a heavy alchoholic , like my dad, and force your husband to leave you. Thats exactly what happened to me with my dad the alchoholic. And about the incedent when the girl wanted you to say the rape was true and you could punch her, i think that she was provoking you all the way to do it. I honestly think she deserved it and that you shouldnt be the one who gets in trouble. As i said already, im only 13. I really hope you find someone that you can be with, and can help you get through this.



I'm a 23yr old guy & i'm frustrated because of my weight...as a child i used to be chubby, but i lost the fat round about 18, i did some weight lifting and the results were quite impressive...6 months ago i started developing a tummy & lately none of jeans fit "comfortably" like they used to.i think the cause of this is my hectic schedule because as a student & I'm continuously studying so i can't stick to my exercise regime-i actually stopped a while ago...but some say its genetic..

I want to be a hunk again, i want a 6pack and chiseled muscles...i'm thinking of taking supplements...how do i get back into shape??????? (link)
Take one scoop of Whey Isolate protein with 1 teaspoon of L - Glutamine and buy a mixing cup and take it with 12 fl oz of water, milk , or juice. you can buy all of these things at a GNC or a nutrition store. And you take it AFTER a workout.
