okay so next year i'll be in tenth grade. i'm not like worrying about college but i'm just thinking about it and am curious/excited. so i was wondering what'd it take to get into a really good school like yale or princeton? i'm taking all honors classes next year except i'm in geometry like normal because i'm not very good at math. if i pull good grades in those and continue to take honors classes is that enough?
plus i'm in student council and i'm trying to get into newspaper. anything else i should do in extra curriculars?
or is it too early to prepare next year?
thanks! (link)

It's never too early to prepare for college.
I'm a student at Columbia University and what you've said so far tells me that you are on the right track :) I also took all honors classes and was in like 3 clubs and sports teams. If you can, getting an internship or volunteering at some places would definitely help. For now, do research on the colleges you are looking at and become familiar with their programs, requirements, and campus--with this when you are asked on your college application "Why do you want to attend .....?" you'll know exactly why you want to go to that school. Well, good luck and let me know if you need any other help :)

I don't know what is "wrong" but I've learned a way to deal with your situation. One of my college friends (psychology major) told some friends and I that if we want to get our sleeping pattern in order we should let our bodies fall asleep on its own. For example, stay up till you get tired and then go to sleep. The hard part of this strategy is the second part--you have to get up at a set time every morning. slowly your body will crave for sleep and get to bed on time. :)
It's important also not to lay in your bed or couch during the day--this is like teasing your body. Try to stay active during the day. Well, hope it works for you, it did for me.

omg! i know exactly what your going through...i liked this guy a lot but he had a girlfriend and he said the exact same thing! anyway...well let me just tell you straight out. he's not with her anymore. we're together :) so im saying to you, hang in there, im sure he'll realize youre the one for him, or maybe you might realize that he's not right for you...as a boyfriend that is. however, for now dont do anything, just chill with him. dont talk bad about his girlfriend either-that might just kill his outlook on you :( dont kiss him or do anything of the sort while he's with his girlfriend. wait til he's free. oh and (sorry this might be a lot to do but its worth it) give him some time to be single again before you two get together, if you do. it helps him to appreciate you more and forget about his ex. also if you hook up right away, he might start to compare you to his ex and that's not good. like i said this is a lot, but if you really like him, im sure it'll work out.

I have no idea what's wrong with me. I'm a teenage who has a "good" life. (meaning that there aren't any huge problems going on) I can't stand living though. I how I can't get love- because I truly believe that love is the only thing worth living for.
I how every relationship i've ever been in has ended before it even started. I'm considered "negative" but I don't see how that's a big problem- because when i'm not around my immediate family I keep all of my negativity to myself. I cry all the time and I can't stop thinking of . I wish I could die so badly. There's nothing that I want to do in this world. And I'm sick of this line of thought. I've been to tons of counselors and therapists but they don't help me. They actually make me feel worse.
I get plenty of exercise and I take vitamins and do all of the things I should be doing to stay healthy. I'm considered "obese" with a BMI of like 31. (5'3" and 173 lbs) I used to be 183. And I was down to 160 for a few days but of course I had to gain it back because of stress. I'm sick of dieting and I'm not doing it anymore. I'm just going to let myself be fat.
I SCHOOL. And we have to waste our whole lives doing it. It's pointless and I don't even NEED it. I already know everything they teach us. I don't like any of the things that I thought were my passions. Acting, singing, and dancing used to make me so happy. I still "love" them but they require so much work and I feel so inferior when I try to do them because I have a bad voice (even though I have a good voice- it sounds really bad and nasal and I can't belt) and I'm fat so my natural dancing ability is underappreciated. And my acting, well- I thought I was the best actress in the world. But no one ever reassures me of this.
I life and all I ever do (when i'm not at rehearsal or dance classes) is cry and think about how wonderful everything would be if i could just have someone who LOVES me. I know I never will again. (i was in a 7-day relationship with a guy who had Asberger's syndrome in september) I'm a huge turn-off and a dispickable person regardless of my attractiveness. I AM SO ATTRACTIVE AND PRETTY AND GORGEOUS AND I HAVE PRETTY HAIR BUT NO ONE NOTICES.
I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT MYSELF. And I'm not going to. I want to end my life so much.
But I can't bring myself to do so. I this- can someone tell me what to do? (link)

Well darling. People never think about this but there IS someone who loves you. His name is Jesus Christ. Maybe the two of you haven’t been properly introduced? Well, about 2000 years ago, somewhere in the middle east there came this guy who everyone was hating on. I mean people were like, “who the heck are you?’ even though he healed their sicknesses and made them “whole” they still hated him. they went so far to crucify him. for what? Nothing really…the only thing he was teaching them was that he loved them and that he wanted them to come to a place with him and live in harmony. He was even willing to take some of the load off in trying to help us to get there. Because before he came to earth, people had to be pious in order to receive salvation. They had to do all kinds of things! Anyway, im not trying to convert you or anything. Its just that well, He loves you. I mean who would die for any of us? I know I know, you’re probably thinking “whatever!” but, believe me, He has worked wonders in my life. I mean I’ve been through depression, sicknesses, etc, you name it. Sometimes we just need people to tell us that it's gonna be okay..Just relax and breathe. Everything's gonna be okay :)
