I am A 13year old female. And i would like to know if anyone knows the easiest way to die?. I've just really had enough of my life to be honest. There is no point in me being alive. I am NOTHING. I have my GCSE'S coming up this summer and next year, I've been put under so much pressure I cant handle it. Im not ready to face failure. And On top of that I am in a relationship with this really nice boy. we recently started dating and its going quite well, however i still love my ex. me and my ex had a quite sexual relationship and its hard to accept the fact that we cant be together anymore. i cant break up with my current boyfriend, i'll feel like a bad person. AND BASICALLY IVE JUST HAD ENOUGH OF LIFE. SERIOUSLY DONT WANT TO BE HERE. AND I FIND IT TO BE DEATH IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO ALL OF MY PROBLEMS. AND I GOT MANY THIS IS JUST ONE/TWO (link)

Please, don't do this to yourself! It really isn't worth it, I know because I tried. There isn't an easy way, just because you think you want to die you may change your mind a little to late, or might not be able to do the whole job. The pain unbearable and things can get better with help I watched my girlfriend die and I couldn't do anything, even CPR couldn't help, she died before she hit the floor and I was nearly put in prison for attacking the car driver, it truly was terrible but people can and will help.

Take the time to talk to them and they will help. I can also talk to you if you wish, put something on my profile somewhere i.e my inbox and I'll help in anyway I can.

it's the scariest thing. i am so afraid of rejection! even when it seems like i have a chance with a guy, sometimes i'll even kind of sabotage things cause i don't want someone else to hurt me. i just wait for the guy to make an obvious move, but that has never happened. but then again, maybe that's why i've never had a boyfriend, despite not being physically unattractive, at age 18 (link)

The first and most important piece of advice is one that is admittedly said an awful lot, but is still relevant: Don't ever be afraid of them saying no, please don't be; if they say no then it wasn't really going to go anywhere if they did say yes. Also don't be afraid of saying no (That was my the problem I had, I went from a life in the countryside to that of a city, and being a typical country boy I'm fairly well built and I'm just naturally nice to people) In the long run you will just end up hurting the other person more.
And, just because other people say that it's easy, it doesn't mean that they actually find it easy. If you really do love them then it will be hard to "I love you" to someone and when you do it's a great relief off of your shoulders. Another thing, if you wait for them to make a move they may be doing the same and may think that your not interested in them.
Lastly feeling the need to sabotage a relationship to protect yourself from emotional fallout is natural it happens to more people than you may think, and if they still try to make amends with afterwards then they probably like you either in an intimate way or best friend way, either way you've found a special person! Keep them, they wont try to hurt you.
P.S: Not having a boyfriend at 18 isn't a bad thing, I'd say it's a great achievement.Believe me, I've had countless girlfriends and I'm ashamed of myself, it's not a great feeling, because I know that in some way I've hurt them emotionally. So, holding yourself out is rather admirable. Hope I could help, have a good day :D

So here goes... a couple weeks ago my boyfriend was over at my house and well things went crazy the clothes were on and everything and it was like a 'dry' session if you know what I mean and well I felt uncomfortable I never wanted that and I told him to get off because that was just weird. Days later he told me he came and he's an idiot and 'm not with him anymore. SO i got my period a few days later like normal, on the day expected. But right now I have the worry that I'm somehow pregnant. Is that possible? I've done research and it says I can't and I got my period the days later but my mind keeps thinking I am. I know I can't be. How can I help my mind get over the thought? I don't want to be pregnant I'm only 15. (link)

Don't worry, everything is completely fine! It's not possible to get pregnant from that. As to the mental repercussions, it's completely normal to think of something like that after something of the sort is forced upon you, and also very stressful. You will just need some time to adjust to it, especially after what he said to you afterwards; although I would strongly suggest talking to someone to help alleviate your troubled mind. I would suggest either one of your parents or maybe a Councillor (Your school may have one, at least they do in and around where I live, you could also try searching for the Samaritans who deal with people who are seeking for someone to calm their mind. It's anonymous and free-Samaritans.org. They can help with an ordeal such as this.) And although a daunting prospect talking to someone about this, it can help especially with something as horrible as that, I feel for you and grant you my best wishes and hope that I could've helped you.
P.S: Try going and doing something fun to get your mind of the subject.

;( If you masterbated once, can you get preggo? I used to masturbate for 3 years but I stopped a long time ago. I think I accidently masturbated in my sleep!!;(;(;( i'm crying right now please help me! Am I preggo? I'm scared for life if I don't get an answer!!!;( (link)

Don't worry! This is biologically impossible, referring to what happened during the night that was most probably something called a wet dream, which occur during puberty.
P.S: The only way to get pregnant is from actual sexual intercourse (Without protection) So you can rest easy from now on. Hope that clears things up for you

and direct this energy to positively help me improve my life, by actually trying to reach my goals, instead of just giving up before I try? I just feel defeated lately, because I've made so many mistakes, and I'm about to graduate high school and I've just made the whole experience terrible for myself, and it hurts to just think about it. i want to black it out and focus on making a lot better future, going to college and everything, but I still get caught up in the past, and seeing other successful people just makes me jealous and self hating, and removes what little motivation I have left. ugh what can I do?
(link)

I myself have/ and still am suffering from something similar to what you yourself are experiencing. The best way that I myself found to combat this was to not black it out- which, quite frankly sounds pretty ridiculous doesn't it? But I look back nonetheless, I use what happened to find that drive to do better or find out how a situation could have been handled, or how did this lead to that. In a strange way it helped me to find reason and settle some of my own doubts. Another way that helped was to not let other's accomplishments gather on top of me, I was the kid who didn't tell people about any of my accomplishments; which allowed for other pupils to treat me like an underdog since I am at an "elitist" school. Try to be more vocal about your own accomplishments, because you will have them, something that you do every day someone else may never do! Be proud of that and embrace it.
It's good that you're still interested in going to college, in fact it's great! You still have the desire to further your own education, hold onto that, not as many people do have that desire. But, make sure you're doing it for the right subjects, look at what YOU really want to do (Not your mates or parents, YOU) in the future, and then apply that knowledge by picking the right subjects to do at college.
Also try getting a regular sleep schedule, helps an awful lot more than it sounds it would.
As for the jealousy sit down and think whether or not you would really want that? Most people have to work extremely hard for that, or succumb to the disease of affluence. Try going out with some mates somewhere and DO SOMETHING CRAZY release your stress and inner feelings. Try taking music or a hobby, even helping charity does wonders for a troubled soul. Have a good day :D Hope I could help in anyway

Ok so my crush is SO awesome! Heres the deal... We were forced partners in a class for about two weeks or so and i pretend not to like him because he is nerdy and so we were talking and we really had fun just talking. After that he really didnt even notice me at all, but I DID. anyway, acouple of days ago he said something like is there a differencw between star wars and star trek... And he asked me and i said yes... Blah blah blah. Then a couple of days later he was talking very brifly about his HW and i was talkin to him too... THEN at lunch a couple of days later he was talking to me agian, but still just a sentece or two. I think he friendzoned me :( how do i get outta the friendzone and get him to ask me out? We are both 12, btw.. ANSWERS PLEASE?!? (link)

Since many contributors will most likely not know either you or your crush, the advise we give will not be completely accurate, so I wouldn't rush into anything; besides you wouldn't to scare off the poor lad now would we?
Firstly, I would look at his behavior towards you, does he act shy, happy just to be in your company (Even when their down?) or maybe a little flirtatiously? Do you offer support when needed? Are you maybe what he may consider to be "out of his league" so to speak? If it's a mixture of these then he may be interested in you.
Finally I hate to say it but, do you actually make an effort to speak to him? (I don't mean to sound mean but, just from the description it sounded like only he'd made the effort to talk to him) Maybe he's not hit that stage where he's interested in girls (i.e. Hormones) And could he maybe think you mock him?
One thing you could try is maybe getting friendly with a few of his friends, maybe approach them and, if he's not there, ask where he is and they may talk to him about you and bolster his sense of bravado. Or appeal to his "nerdy" side (Although... He didn't know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek... )
Maybe after a little while of talking to him, and maybe being ever so slightly flirtatious (But, be careful with that, don't sound desperate; men tend to hate that and you don't wanna get a bad name for yourself) then just ask him to be your boyfriend, if he says no, then it's not the end. DON'T EVER BE AFRAID OF SOMEONE SAYING NO TO YOU. Other than that have fun with him, make him feel special, be his little Klingon
