What is a ranch hand? My step brother and his friend always call me "hand" like they'll walk in the house and be like "whats up hand?" is that another way of saying "whats up friend?" or something it just confuses me.. (link)
Hey,

I can't attest to why your stepbrother and friend always call you "hand" (might be an inside joke), but a ranch hand is generally someone who helps around a ranch, doing various menial tasks to help out the owner of the ranch.

I hope that helps,

I really like drugs they honestly are the best thing to me i love the gritty scene the crazy nights and the idea of doing them and doing them too. Does that mean im bound to become an addict cause i can stop smoking weed anytime but my life isnt being destroyed by it so i dont feel the need to stop. so does that mean im more prone to being a recreational user instead of a hardcore addict..

Dear Matt,
I think you'll be okay. Marijuana is psychologically addictive rather than physiologically addictive, so the only way to become addicted is to rely on marijuana to help you deal with your problems, emotions, etc. As long as you know enough not to go to work high and to stop all drug use before you get married and have children, I don't think there's much of a problem with it.

Okay I don't know if you will actually answer this but here goes. SO I have been dating this guy for about 2 months and in the beginning I was so incredibly happy because this was my first bf but I mean come on I'm a 14 year old girl! But after awhile I began not wanting to be in the relationship anymore but then I do I just dont understand. I call it this "monster" inside me who can't be satisfied. He makes me happy but at times he can be so immature especially when he hang out with his friends.I thought of breaking up with him but I know i couldn't do that to myself nor him.But he can be REALLY sweet and does stuff that make me like him more... I don't know do you have any advice?

Dear L,
There is no need to rush to make this decision. I would suggest waiting a while, maybe spending less time with your boyfriend and more time doing things you love by yourself or with your family and friends. If, after a while, these doubts don't go away, it might be time to have a talk with him, but if you don't see the relationship going anywhere, then it might be time to break up. I know there's a lot of uncertainty here, and waiting when you have all these feelings inside is going to be hard, but I think it will be your best option.
Good luck!

I am 13 and i am pregnant. I took a pregnancy test that I stole from a store and it was positive. I already know i am way to young for sex. But we did use a condom it just broke. I can't tell my mom because she doesn't even know that I like boys yet she still thinks that I think boys have cooties. Abortion is out of the picture 1. I can't afford it 2. I could never kill a child. But i am just so scared I didnt tell the dad yet and not my mom only my best friend. I don't know how to tell them so please just tell me what to do or give me potions or opinions but please don't lecture me on how stupid I am for having sex I will get that from my mom it has been 2 weeks. Thanks for the help (link)
Okay, sweetheart,
this is a bad situation but there's things you can do to make it better. Check out Planned Parenthood and see if there are any offices in your area. They're the best authority on teen pregnancy.

Secondly, as hard as it may seem, you need to tell the father and your mother. Take your best friend with you for support if you need to. I know it seems really difficult now, but it's nothing compared to trying to handle this on your own. If your mother knows, then she'll be able to help you, but if you don't tell her, you'll be making it way harder for no reason and she'll find out anyway. Might as well tell her now and get her help.

You have options other than abortion. If you don't want to raise the baby yourself, then you can always give it up for adoption. Some adoptive parents will even help to cover medical bills and escort you to doctor's appointments.

I wish you the best of luck and hope things get better for you. I know you must be terrified. You, of all people, don't need to be told about the severity of the situation but people will tell you (over and over again). Just remember that, for the most part, it's because they care.

Your friend,
Diary


I feel like I've been chasing this guy that I've liked off and on for years. He says he likes me, but he likes someone else, or he says he'll take me on a date and that he's not interested in having a relationship right now because he's preparing to go on a mission, but then I find out that he IS in a relationship. Not to mention that he's LIED to me all these years. When I found out about his relationship, I wanted to call him and yell at him and ask him so many questions to why he lied to me again.

I have been thinking about this a lot, and I've come to a decision that I have got to stop chasing him, and just let him come to me if he has a problem. Am I doing the right thing? Thanks! (link)
Hey,
I think you are doing the right thing. I'm glad that you realized that you deserve someone better - a guy who likes you for who you are and doesn't lie and make up lame excuses. He seems like a total player, and if he's in a relationship, I'm willing to bet that he's lied to other girls, too. Moving on looks like your best choice.
Good for you,
Diary


Ok,so i know asking this will probably get me nowhere as people feel too morally obliged not to answer a question of this magnitude,but i'll give it a go anyway.:the thing is,i am considering suicide very seriously and would like to know what would be the most efficient way to go about it,i'm not going to try and justify my consideration of doing this,but would really appreciate a honest answer. (link)
This isn't the answer you want, but it's the answer you need.

Sweetheart: no. Just no. There is no need to end your life. Send me a message. I'll give you my number. We'll talk this out.

Life is too beautiful to end, even when things seem really, really bad and hopeless. Trust me, I've been there. It's awful, I know. But, suicide will not solve any of your problems. It will no make you feel better. It's just a way out, and a bad one at that.

Contact me, and give your life a second chance. SERIOUSLY.

Someone out there loves you, even it's just me,

Your dear old friend,
Diary


i have aids ive watched several of my friends dye awful deaths ive had this condition 15 yrs and do not want to end this way . id like the peace of knowing how to end my life before my health reaches that point.i per fer dying in my sleep. (link)
Hey,
Suicide is never the answer. I know things look really bleak, and I couldn't imagine how you must be feeling right now, but I doubt any of your friends or family or anyone that cares about you would want you to end your life. Living with and dying from AIDS may not be on "your terms", but I see you reaching out and it tells me that you don't want to die. You're scared and maybe you feel alone, and maybe you would even prefer to kill yourself than to die from AIDS, but you deserve to enjoy whatever precious moments you have left. I mean it. You never know when a cure or a miracle could happen. But don't give up. Don't ever give up. Life is a beautiful, beautiful gift and I'd hate to see you waste it.

Hey, shoot me an e-mail: whimsicallaughter@yahoo.com

I can give you my phone number if you like, and we can talk.

Your friend,
Diary
