Well Im a Cheerleader for both Football and Basketball. Im also a Dancer and I love to hang out with my ladies! Always a blast.

I love helping people if I can, and If you wanna ask me anything you want, I'll be happy to answer and do my very best to help.

Hey hun. Think about all the things in your life that make you stressed out, and take yourself away from them all for awhile. If its something like school then maybe its not so easy and the answer is just to not over load yourself so much. If its friends, then the best thing to do is talk to them. Same with your better half or parents. I know from experience that being stressed out isnt fun. and It can bring people into a horrible place, but the most important thing to know is you need to do the things that make you happy. Hope I helped. At least a little.

Hi Carin. You seem like a really good person to ask this question, so here I go. Okay see I have this friend and we havent known eachother for that long but shes become of of my best friends. Well close to the end of the year, she started acting different. She came into school crying one day and she didnt wanna talk to anyone. But me being the person I am, I made her talk to me. She had been having a problem with guys and she just couldnt handle it anymore. She lifted up her sleve and she had cut herself about 20 times up and down her arm. It really scared me. But she didnt want to talk to anyone else. She wouldnt even go to her Guidence counsler. I dont know what I should do. I feel like I should tell someone, but I dont want her mad at me or anything. It also acurred to me that I could be making a bigger deal out of this then it really is. I hope that you can help me, I just dont know what to do.

Dear Confused,
I know what your going through, and its a very scary situation. I have also had a couple friends who have cut themselfs or have thought about killing themselfs at points. I can tell you right now that its a good thing you made her talk to you, but I can also tell you that its a situation that can either get a lot better or a lot worse. You should definitly tell someone. Her mom, her dad, a GC, maybe even a sibling. She obviously needs some help, and you being a close friend should help her out with this. She needs to know that your there for her, and that cutting herself is NOT the answer to her problems. Give her the suport you think she needs and the supost you think will help her out. Guys can be very stressful and Im glad I have a great one, but they're deff not worth something like that. And you thinking about whether or not your making a bigger deal out of this then it really is, shouldnt matter. When you have a friend who is hurting themself then its never too big or a deal. I think you should tell someone as soon as posible, and just be there for her more then ever. She needs to know that your there for her. And if things dont get better, you know who you can talk to. I hope I helped.
