Im 18, going to college in a month. My brother is already away at college, my parents have been married for 25 years. i know my dad is cheating. I have told my brother, but i havent told my mom because there is a very strong sense in me that my dad will kill himself or hurt himself if someone were to find out.. which happened to my best friends dad. It doesnt matter what other people say, in my head im 150% that it'd happen. because i know hes cheating and have to watch him lie to me and my mom every day, i have no trust from him. Our relationship was great before, we were with together every day. now, were never together unless its a family function, and we dont even talk. i know hes lying to me, and everytime he does i wanna snap on him and just scream out all my anger and hurt but i cant. It kills my heart deeply that im going away to college with no relationship with my dad.. i look foward to events like getting married, and him walking me down the isle and all that... and i dont see it, because were not even close at all. My mom doesnt know or sense anything cause she works nights, and me and my dad are never home during the day. ive gone to counseling.. and still there never found a solution so i stopped going.


I really need help. My trust for everyone in my life is gone, and i dont wanna lose something so important, my family or my relationship with my dad. Its the worst feeling in the world..

i'm so sorry. maybe you can try talking to your brother more? This situation is a difficult one.
I would say talk to your dad privately and tell him you stil love him and don't want him to do anything ..but talk with him.
sit him down quietly, alone and ask if he has ever done anything.
make sure he knows you still love him and care about him.
the only reason why he would hurt himself is because he thinks nobody loves him or cares about him. he'll be embarrassed...but make sure you talk to him in a mature matter.
I hope everything works out and i'm so sorry

I am 13(m) and want a job when I turn 14. I am awear of child labor laws, and know that at 14 you need a workers permit or something and then at 16 you dont need one(why is that? Just curious). So my question to you is, where exactally do I get a workers permit?

try asking your school for the paperwork.
when i was 16, i still needed one to work and i got it from my school. give them a call, or send an email.

i feel like theres a part in me that is empty if i dont have a gf, so u got any ideas how i could fill that gap?

be yourself and try to hang out with your friends whenever you have the time. even though you may not want to hang out, or feel lonely..trust me. one day, a girl will come out of the blue.
good things come unexpected. so take advantange of every opportunity you get to try new things, make new friends , go to parties...and trust me. sooner or later you'll find somone.

hope I helped!

My friend and I want to sing a duet together, but we don't know what songs to do. What songs should we do?

the newest pop songs are always nicee to sing to.
one person can sing the melody, and it would be beautiful.

jason mraz- i'm yours.
^ that song is beautiful when split into parts

There is this boy who I dated for 2 years. We loved eachother so deeply, (it was my deepest relationship I've had, and it's been 10 years since then.) He gets very defensive when he sees me with other guys, and he just stares at me with lust in his eyes.

I think he still cares about me, and I still love him.

What songs are similar to my situation?

SO far I have "Like We Never Loved At All" By Faith Hill.

Any type of music, I'm open to everything. Country to rap to pop to rock to jazz.

Don't forget- Demi Lovato
remember december-demi lovato
you and me- dmb
bad romance- lady gaga

My boyfriend ,Joey, broke up with me a few months ago but we still hangout all the time and i guess you could say im still in love with him.He told me he has a few feelings for me still but not like he used to .and he says he sees me like his little sister so he wants to stay in my life.I'm glad he doesn't lie to me and tell me he likes me if he doesn't! When i was very young,about 3-4 years ago i was in love with Justin.We were so young and chaotic and lost our virginity to eachother and from then on ,he meant something to me.For 3 years I was crazy for this kid,and he never asked me out or told me he liked me.We would hangout every once in a while,talk a lot at certain points in our friendships,but basically just keep eachother out of our main lives.Whenever we would hangout,it would always be a lone and usually turn into us having sex,i did it ofcourse because I loved him.He even had several girlfriends throughout all of this,and would cheat on them with me ,ALL the time.So i figured he liked me but didn't know when the right time to be with me was...so i waited.Eventually ,after like 4 years of waiting,i started to get it through my head that he just wants sex and nothing else.I wrote him a letter and told him how i felt and how i never wanted to speak to him ever again because it hurts.Very soon after that letter is when I met Joey and dated him for about 4 months and I was completely over Justin and still was until recently. When me and Joey broke up,justin began calling me and texting me all the time to see what i was doing or if i wanted to hangout.I figured he just wanted sex ,so i just ignored him and gave him little response.I didnt like him ,so i didnt care! One day ,he called me 20 times and i answered finally and he told me he loved me...i figured he was just drunk so i just kinda laughed. A few days later,he told me he really needed to talk to me ,so i went over and he basically confessed his love for me.He said he's loved me this whole time but has been putting on an act because of what his friends think about me.He said he was so jealous of my boyfriend (when i had one) and misses me and whatnot.I told him I'd give him a chance if he showed me he cared.He basically said he wants to continue fighting his feelings for me because he doesn't want anyone to know how he truly feels.I wrote him a letter telling him how i feel and he hasn't said a word to me.It's been 2 days and still nothing.He told me he doesn't want me teling anyone about his confession and he just wanted me to know the truth so i wouldn't think he's a bad guy. What do i do?! I really want things to work out,but he's just scared what people will think!

i feel like you should do what your truly feel is right. although you may not know right now,deep down you must feel something.

if you feel like you want to be with justin, then go for it girl! but a guy who loves you, shouldn't be afraid of what others think. if he really loves you, no one else should matter.
invite him over, or go out for a bite..and talk to him there.
whats the worst that could happen?
but make sure you think about yourself in this too, i know so many girls, including myself, who have gotten hurt. you come first!
hope i helped!
if you need any more advice, i'm always here.

14/f
this is kind-of long, sorry. :/

me and my boyfriend jordan have been going out since may 1, and as of now, we've only held hands and hugged, not kissed or anything. but we went to this school dance on friday, and they played our song [ bless the broken road, rascal flatts (: ], and after they played it, he looked at me and went in to kiss me, and the moment seemed perfect and such, but i turned away. he said it got him confused becaus he thought it was the right moment, but i told him i just felt like it was too soon. so just a few minutes ago he told me he wants to kiss me tomorrow after school, but i don't know what to do, because i don't think we've been going out long enough.
so basically, have we been going out long enough for us to kiss?? and please don't say it's up to me, or that it's whenever it feels right, because i honestly don't know.

so is less than three weeks long enough to kiss?
and we're going to the movies on friday, so i know he'll want to kiss me and maybe even make out.

thanks in advance..

hey i totally get what your saying, im 14/f.and my bf and i have been going out since april 20th.[soo not that longg] soo this past weekend.we went to the movies.he just put his arm around me[which is fine] .and he probably will do that on friday if u go to the movies.

then do w/e u want during the movie[like hold his hand or something]
then after the movies before you go home...hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek.thats the perfect way to say goodnight[if your not readyy to kiss him.] BUT if he stares into your eyes.then just kiss him...and it will leave them thinking all night=]

i got my first period 1 week ago! it is still going on, and its not getting lighter. i've had it for 7 days and it feels like its not going away.

also, today i had horrible cramps, i had to come home from school i couldnt sit still i felt like i was going to die. my mom took me to the doctors, he sent my to CVS and he told me all of the medicine/pain relievers to use and now my cramps are gone. im NOT worried about cramps.

also today i threw up 3 times. the doctor checked me and i didnt have a fever my ears were fine i didnt have a cold, i was perfectly healthy so he doesnt know why i threw up. has anyone else ever threw up while on there period? is it normal?

basically my questions are...
1. is it normal to throw up while your on your period?
2. and since this was my first period, when i get my future periods will the cramps be not as bad?
3. and how long does the average menstural cycle go for each month? its been 7 days and it keeps getting heavier...
4. any other tips??

1) ok well i have never thrown up...maybe you haven't ate alot considering your cramps have been hurting you. that usually happens, when you don't eat..you can possibly throw up because your body isn't use to no food

2) sort of.it all depends.sometimes it won't hurt a bit.and other times it feels like your having a baby.haha.but noo worry's every women goes through it.

3)well this too all depends..if your cycle is irregular.it can be for a short as 3 days..which is nice.if your regular to your period. it can be as long as 12 days. my first period lasted 9 days..

4) don't worry about it.everything will be fine...if you have any other questions...ask.i'll be here =)

i live in new jersey and on monday my family and i are going to rome for 10 days.
Now i know that when were in Rome were going to do all the touristy stuff so im not asking for like sighseeing stuff. I need stuff to do on the plane and when were like in our hotel room.

i bought a bunch of books, but thats about all i have so far.

suggestions? i need soon cuz we are leaving in like two days! thanks!

okay well that might be a long plane ride.so i'd suggest bringing something to listen too like an ipod,mp3 player or cd player.
you can also bring cards to play with..pencil and paper to doodle or draw with.
you can also bring hw.yeah i no it sounds boring but its soo much better to do on the plane then do during your vaca.

also..try to sleep on the plane ride because once you get there you're going to be soo tired and confused because of the time change.

hope i helped.and have fun=)

my hair is slightyly thin but slighty thick..personaly i want it thick but i've heard that its horrible thick(not my hair..theirs)should i want thick hair..and if so then what can i do to make it thicker?(no styling or layers though it fries my hair)

well, i think thicker hair is better cause you can do more things with it and it is stronger..and you can do this by buying a shampoo...(it works) or getting this spray(it also workes)

In high school, we get to choose which language we want to take- French or Spanish. I signed up for Spanish, but I'm having second thoughts. I like French a lot more, but I want to do what's best for me. Does anyone have any pros or cons for taking a certain language, or just general advice on what I should do? Thanks!

see this happened to me too! i chose spanish cause in the usa where ever you go there are spanish talking people...i mean if you want to go take french go ahead..but....when spanish people in sult you ever...of they would..then you can know what they are saying

hope i helped.....!
