Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way and im sure that all you've heard so far is DON"T. Im here to tell you the same thing but i also want to tell you a story. My friend killed himself on the 5th and it has been the hardest month EVER for me. Not only was his taking his life selfish, it was a waste. Much like you, he was an excellent artist and also used. It hurt EVERYONE who ever knew him. Think of how your mother would feel. OR how your father would feel. Would your younger siblings feel abandoned and afraid? YES, they would. Don't think about "why not?". Every one has these feelings and its okay to feel that way. I went thru a phase like that. In the end i realized that its all worth it. JUst because you have a bad day or things aren't going your way its not an excuse to kill your self. I think that you should tell your mom. At least ask for her advice and if she thinks you need professional help she will help you. If she loves you as much as you make it sound then she will be scared for you but she will be your backbone in this great time of need and stick by your side the whole time. Please don't feel like all hope is gone or that no one needs you. If you EVER need to talk do not hesitate to email me at caitlin9129008@aim.com. Im always here if no one else is. Okay? Stay strong sweetie and don't give up. ITS ALL WORTH IT. At my friends funeral they said something that has touched my heart. It was,
Moving on is simple;
Its what you leave behind thats hard.
Do you want those who care for you to go thru that kind of pain and struggle?
This guy I met at camp seems to have a thing for me. While we were there he tried to pull me into a room by ourselves so we could talk. (I definitely know he was not trying to get some. I'm positive.) He also talked to me from his friend's house, and he flirted so much it was crazy. Seriously, every sentence he said alluded to the fact that he has a thing for me. So my question is how do I know if he really likes me or if he just flirts with everyone and wants me to fall for him?
Well.... if he seems to be that upfront with you maybe you should pay him the same courtesy. On the other hand i see how you don't wanna make an (for lack of a better word) ass out of your self if hes just joking. I'd feel it out and see if hes like that when you are hanging out with him along with other girls. If hes flirting with all of them then it might not be the real thing. I still think that you should be very upfront with him and just lay it out on the table. Or be sly and say things like,,,,, "So in all seriousness, what kinds of girls do you like?" and if he looks at you like you are crazy then make a joke out of it and just pretend like you were joking.
I really hope i helped. Love Caitlin.
sorry this is so long but i am really confused and i would love for any advise from anyone!
ok here is goes. me adn my ex boyfriend (josh) we out all last summer and he cheated on me so we broke up and havent talked since. well the other day i was on the phone with his best friend (anton) and josh was over there so me adn josh talked and we are cool now. well i like anton but anton is a huge player. he has cheated on almost every girl he has went out with. he is also not a virgin .. me i havent even tounge kissed a guy before. well anton told me that he is actually ready to get into a serious relationship with a girl. i really wanna be that girl, but im so scared for anyone to know that i likw him. im scared he is gonna cheat on me or hurt me just like josh. me adn anton dont talk alot adn we dont know each other really good. i really like him and i dont know what to do. i even dream about him at night. can anyone please give me some advise on what to do?? thanks if you do!!
Well hun.. it sounds to me that you shouldn't get in with this guy, if he is that much of a player he is most likely saying that he wants a serious relationship to lure you in and since you don't know him well i would say that you prolly shouldn't do anything with him until you at least know him a little but better, sorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but my best friend did the same thing and she got way in over her head and on top of it lost her virginity to a guy she never loved. Please use your head before making any final decision.
on some peoples columns why do they have stars? like if you go to Browse Comlumnists. What do they mean? why do those people have them????
PlEaSe AnSwEr!!!
That means that they were rated already
well theres this guy i like, but my EX-bff likes him too! i asked him who he likes better me or her! he said me~how do i get him to ask me out or how do i ask him out
Well... if he likes you more than i would say youve got a pretty good chance but maybe if you are really nervous you should ask him straight up " Do you like me 'that way' or were you saying that to be nice? If you do like me would you ever consider going out with me?" something like that. Good luck !!!!!!
my mom doesn't let me have a life. i only saw my boyfriend in the morning for like 4 minutes in school. now that its summer, i really want to do something with him. how could i make my mom.......easier? i dunno. help.
well, i would really like to know your age to help but if im assuming that you are already in high skool or are going in to high school then she is most likely just afraid of losing her little girl or maybe she thinks you are just too young and that that would be innapropriate for a girl your age. She does it b/c she loves you. Try talking to her and telling her that you don't intend to do anything "bad" with him. But that you would really like to have a relationship with a boy your age and as perhaps more than friends. Always keep the trust with your parents. Trust equals Freedom.
ok, what can you NOT eat on the low card diet? and what CAN you eat? if you have a website with a list of the foods it would be greatly appreciated!
http://atkins.com/Archive/2004/12/8-441277.html
This site has everything you could want to know about starting a serious low carb diet but if you have anymore questions that this site doesn't answer go ahead and email me at caitie_p2008@yahoo.com

what are some good places to buy clothes that arent that expensive? thx
Umm... okay... i go to kmart, wal mart is excellent... depending on what you mean by expensive... Old Navy and Target are good. I like AE and Aeropostale too, but those are kind of expensive. Hope i helped.
I have been friends with this girl, I'll call Katie for like 15 years. But for the last 4 years she has become an overbearing and often embarrassing persence. Katie often guilts people into doing things they don't want too. Shes an only child and has always gotten her way or has lied to get it. Katie is extrememly outgoing, Oh and did I mention she was outgoing. She is very large breasted and gets a lot of attention from guys. Which doesn't bother me because she and I have different taste in men. Lately though I've noticed she often lies to me, which she never used to. She also tells things about me to others that are outright lies. I am shocked and have asked her about what she says but she somehow comes up with some weird explanation. I have stopped telling her anything I don't want everyone to know. She also often chastises, me for doing the same things she does. Katie also gets jealous when I hang out with other friends and often makes her distaste for my other friends very obvious. I almost want to cut her off completely. Should I or should I try to find out what has gotten into her?
Well, in my opinion i think that perhaps you have grown apart. I know from personal experience that many times people just... lose touch with eachother and drift apart. Its not a bad thing. It gives us an oppurtunity to make new friends.
I have the first symptoms of an eating disorder (yes this can be in Mental Health, it's a mental problem not a physical problem) and I'm really worried
I might sound crazy right now but there's this constant battle in my head. One part of me is saying not to do it that I should go and eat and the other is saying no! don't eat it's not worth getting fat.
I have no one I could talk to and except for parents and they would go crazy.
Ughh It's driving me crazy! I don't want to go and eat for then to realise I shouldn't have done and then go and binge and bring it all back up. Please help me.
Okay, if your parents know how serious eating disorders are then they know that it is a serious problem that you need to see a dr. about. They won't go crazy if you honestly have a disorder. They will do everything in their power to help you. They would only go crazy because they love you. Its scary when there is a possability that you won't have your baby anymore. And its scary for friends because you don't know how to help. I have at least two friends with anorexia. One is all better now and is healthy and then one that is in treatment and sees a counselor regularly and he is doing much better now also, so you won't go crazy but pleez go to someone and get help. I hope i made an impact on how serious it is to get help straight away and i applaud you for asking even us for help. Good Luck and if you ever need to talk then just leave a msg in my inbox. Love caitlin
This is gonna be long but I need help..
So me and my boyfriend were totally in love.. But then he cheated on me with another girl, he made out with her for like an hour. AND he was the one that came onto her. I broke up with him, and was totally heartbroken because I still love him... So then I saw him, and he apoligized, saying, "I`m so sorry, You are perfect, I only want you, that kiss from her meant nothing, I love you so much and I`m so sorry.." And so now I`m going back out with him.. But the thing is, I`m not sure. I still love him, but I can`t trust him.. And things are just kind of awkward now. I have no idea what to do.. Please help, I rate high !!
OK, i don't think that after such a low blow you should even want to be with him b/c if he really did love you he wouldn't have done it. ALL relationships are built on trust, without it ur nothing so.... i suggest break up and find a man who won;t cheat on you. :)
what are the benefits of waiting for marriage? for those of you that are, whats your reason? it could go either way so let me know what you think.
um... i am waiting for marriage... so far. I don't really think you can buy the car without test driving it. But um... benefits are that you know you are in love and you won;t be abused. And even if you get an STD, you're married. (that might sound babd but i hope you catch my drift.) Plus if you get pregnant you know he;ll stick it out.
me and my boyfriend we're making out and stuff and he tried to take my shirt off and i wouldn't let him and he raped me. He said if i told anyone he would find a way to kill me. so should i tell someone or keep it a secret?
Go to your parents and then straight to the authorities. THat is a crime and he WILL be locked up.
okay, ive been going out with my bf for a little over a week and i really like him and stuff. The problem is, i still am in love with my ex. But the thing is, my ex is beginning his first year of high school in the fall and i will be beginning 8th grade. He also lives really far away and his high school is pretty far away too. My current bf is really nice and everything but i still am in love with my ex. When my ex found out about the bf i have now, he got really jealous. I would dump my bf for him in a second, but i dont know if that would be the smart thing to do. What should i do? Please help me!
Okay, if you can't be faithful to the boyfriend you have now then i suggest that you dump him and get over the other guy first. Second i know you will hate me for this but i think you may be to young to know what love is. Im a few yrs older and i don't. Plus, he is your ex for a reason which means that he most likely doesn't love you back or the connection isn't strong enough. if hes so jealous he needs to do something about it. The breakup story would probably shine more light on the situation. Sorry if i haven't helped.
Is it possible to lose 10-20 pounds by July 20? If so, can someone please give me some tips? Thank you in advance.
I do low carb and it works wonders, No bread, no fruit, no sugars. Russel Sotver candies are great for sugar cravings. Eat lots of protein, chicken eggs bacon beef ham. Any green veggie and tomatoes are okay as long as you don't eat to many. Cheese is also a good thing to eat lots of. Keep your carb intake to 20-25 carbs a day and you will see the pounds roll off. For more info reach me at my page! (Little side note: Look at the nutrition facts and subtract the dietary fiber and sugar alcohols from the number of carbs and that is the carb intake for that SERVING!)
Is there any way of convincing my mom to let me babysit? She says she wants me to wait awhile. She said she would consider it though. Anyway, I would be babysitting with my friend. So she may be more comfortable about that. So how can I convince her to let me? And any ideas about how I could spread my services (if she says yes)?
Okay, first off. Your mother may be worried that babysitting with your friend would make it easier for you to get distracted and that spells disaster. Second, how old are you? If you're 12 then you areold enough to take a red cross babysitting class that wouldpossibly put your moms mind at ease. (Trust me, i suggested this to my mom and she immediately agreed.) About spreading the word. Gossip is a blessing. If you do good then those parent's friends will call you and they will tell more people ect.. Second if you have grocerie stores and gas stations close by, printing a sheet with your info including your name age number and qualifications plus what ages you feel comfortable with and hang this up in those places with the little tabs to tear off with your number on them. Hope i helped!

Im going to Warped Tour and I was wondering if they sell tickets @ the front on the day of the concert? If so, about how much more expensive are they? And do they usually run out pretty fast? Thank you.
Don't forget scalpers! And yeah they run up the price. Visit the site for more info.
hey..well on IM all of a sudden this guy told me he loved me but the only thing he knew about me was my name and i told him he didn't but he saying he does..but i don't believe him should i?
Umm.. no definately not. I know for a fact that there are alot of people who like to mess with people online and I find it very unlikely for a guy to fall in love that suddenley. Don't believe these whackos unless you at least know more about them and also, just b/c a guys loves you doesn't mean you have to love him back. Hope i helped.
I'm babysitting 2 kids every Tuesday. One of them is 7 (Girl), and the other is 4(boy). Do you have any ideas on what we could do? Or any ideas on how to make dinnertime more fun? Like, what could I make?
THANKS
I babysit 4 kids all day everyday so i feel your pain. When the kids were younger i would make a fake 'menu' and tell them the specials and serve it like it was a real restaurant ect. Also kids of that age love repitition and directions. Let me explain lol. Movies are good, esp. disney movies and also games like Mother May I, and Simon Says. Hide and Go seek is a classic. Also the zoo is an option. The park works wonders.Slip'n'slides and the sprinkler never get old. Hope i helped!
what would be a place to shop for the first day of school clothes if you were a goth or punk
stores not websites please!!!!
thnx :-)
Hot Topic all the way. They have just about anything you could want for being either goth or punk. They are a little spendy if you are on a budget tho. Hope your shopping goes well!
