i have tried to be supportive, i have tried to hang in there. looking for the simplest, least messy method (link)
Take 50 to 100 mg of 5htp a day. It naturally causes your brain to create Seretonin which makes you happy. It can be found at most drug stores and it's worth a shot. It definently helps me through the daily bullshit people throw at me.


Hi, I am 17 years old, and I have come to the point where I don't want to live anymore. Every time I find someone I like and end up with him, the only thing he wants is sex. So then I have to let him go b/c I realize the sweet things he had said to me were only to get to me to have sex with him. My heart hurts so much every time this happens, b/c I always thought they were being true to me. My other issue is that there's this girl in school that is always jealous of me b/c I'm friends with her best friend. My family treats me like I'm some stranger in the house. My mom and dad yell at me everyday for no reason. I feel like my life is worthless, no one cares about me. Now I feel like there is no one in this world I can trust anymore. I'm an object for guys, a stranger to my family, and my friends are being pulled away from me by their other friends. There's nothing I can do. I don't want to live anymore, I just hate everything and everyone! (link)
Hey, I'm 17 years old too, let me give you a background of my life before I give you advice. My older brother killed himself from a heroin overdose a year and a half ago. I started smoking weed to give myself some relief from it until I started smoking everyday 2-4 times a day and kept that up for about half a year but itwasnt making me feel better, it made me depressed and made me want to to kill myself because I felt no one shared my pain and I felt worlhless. Soon after all of that my hair started falling out and that made me hate myself even more so I went sober for 2 months. I started smoking again but only on weekends and that was about 3 months ago. Being with that one of my best friends over the past year who helped me get through everything wo nt talk to me anymore and what makes it worst is I told her everything about my life. Ive never been closer to killing myself before in my entire life because if I don't, stress will. With that said, the only thing that helps is an outlet, something to help me escape. Try to find something that makes me feel satisfied with yourself, something you enjoy doing that doesn't hurt yourself. Happiness is the key to get out. Here's some advice from someone who might not know exactly how you feel but might be able to help. Try to find something that will help you escape. I also recommend 5htp. It's a natural amino acid in your body that causes your brain to create serotonin which makes you happy, it is helping me recover from the past couple years of my life. If your as far down as you say you are, it's worth a try but start with 50 mg a day with food, side effects may make your stomach hurt, make you depressed or give you nightmares but that usually only happens if you are taking 200+ mg a day. Trust me when I say give it a shot.


19/f...boyfriend is gonna be 20. throwing a party for him. He's inviting a couple friends from work (like 5, all guys) he asked me to invite girls. because he said "most guys want to get drunk and meet/have sex with girls at parties" 1.this makes me not want to have the party. and 2. this makes me unsure of who to invite. I told him to tell the guys to bring girls. No strippers etc. But he tells me that I need to invite my friends otherwise his friends wont be satisfied.. I don't know what to do. Help me out? (link)
Chances are he's just trying to hook his work friends up so they will have more respect for him, or maybe something along those lines. But what his friends want is what most single guys want, right? You don't have to do this especially since I don't know you at all but maybe this. Invite friends, some single, some not who have some sort of self control, and a few that don't. But before you set anything up, think to yourself, could any of this come back to bite me in the ass? Best of luck on setting up your boyfriends b day party.


As much as I give advice, I have issues of my own. I suffer at school because my friends call me weak because I dont cuss or yell back at them. They want a reaction outta me because I'm so nice and I get ran over because of my niceness. Litte do they know that if I am not nice, I am REALLY MEAN. Like I said I have anger issues. Even if they play fight and try to touch me I dont like it. I don't tell them that because I know I will get angry and won't want to talk to them and then there will be this huge problem. I'm not ghetto....I don't want be around them anymore. I'm going to 9th grade next year and I don't want those types of friends anymore. I want to focus solely on school, my education, and life OUTSIDE of school. This place isn't right for me at all. I just don't want to be embarrasses when around them. Can someone please help me? On the bright side their funny,fun,good people...it's just I have my own issues and I can't tell them like I said because I'm not really all that friendly if they knew me personally.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME??????????? GIVE ME SOME KIND OF ADVICE? WHAT SHOULD I DO?????????????? Sometimes I wish I could just die...tired of feeling this way. Angry,sad,nervous,anxious! Please..... (link)
So you suffer from anxiety, anger issues, paranoia? I used to be on your boat but that was 4 years ago, I'm a senior now. let me give you some advice. If your ever feeling down, do something healthy that will make you feel better. Write a poem, read a book, draw a picture, listen to some music, go for a run,, or make your own hobby. The problems you have are just in your head though and it really is hard to get over them. And another life lesson, treat other people the way they treat you. You want people to like you or maybe just accept you so your "nice" to them. Stop being a push over, don't be nice to ass holes. If you get anything out of this, I'd recomend that you stick up for yourself. Don't be a jerk but if someone is fucking with you stand up for yourself. Letting people push you around isnt being nice, it's being wussy and if your a wuss people will walk all over you. If this doesn't solve anything just message me back.


long story short I work with 2 2 faced women at work. they got me in trouble at work about my personal life when they was the ones who ran there mouths but i got blamed for it all. Well someone told me our boss said they could take vitals right. I told them before all this crazyness started and now my boss said she never said that and I have a week to confront the 2 women that she didnt say that what and how should i tell them it was just hear say and i shouldnt of said it?

You chose an awful way at wording your problem. Just block them on Facebook and don't acknowledge their presence unless you absolutely have to.


I met this guy during my vacation in Europe. We fell in love right away because we have the same interest and we are both loyal and devoted when it comes to relationships. We were inseparable for 3 months of my stay in Europe. He already introduced me to his family and stayed to his place a lot of times. When it was time for me to come back to my homeland in Asia, I found out that I was pregnant. We were both happy and promised each other that we will be together soon in the future and that he will be with me when I give birth. We're both so excited for the baby. Although sometimes, we have misunderstandings too because of long distance relationship. Until one night (18 weeks of pregnancy), he told me that there's one time it came to his mind that maybe he is not the father of my child cause I have lots of friends in Europe who are guys. And he one time read into my facebook account that one of my closest friends told me that he wants to have sex with me. But I assure him that I never had sex with anyone else during my stay in Holland and that I was not meeting my friends anymore when I met him, which is so true. He was really sorry that he told this to me and promised me that he will not hurt me anymore. He said that he knows he's the father of the child but he can't just help it thinking about my guy friends. But I am really hurt and I didnt expect it that he will say that to me. I told him that it is the worst thing I've ever heard and that I can never forget it. I want to break up with him because I cant accept it that he thought like that to me, and I felt sorry for my baby that his father once doubt that he's not his. But I love him so much. What is the right decision to make? Thanks in advanced. (link)
He was just anxious, paranoid, and or missed you from the long distance relationship. If he really loves you it must be unbearably hard to be separated for even a short amount of time, also sparking some jealousy from the guys that see you often. That can really screw with your head and with that said, I would let it go.


at my daughters school ,(9th grade) in PE there will be a swim unit and boys and girls have it together? Why is this allowed? Wouldn't this make girls feel uncomfortable, being in a bathing suit around boys. Wouldn't boys use this opportunity to harass or humilate girls (link)
Let me give you advice coming from a senior guy in high school. I'm not in P.E. nor have I taken it since 7th grade but I think your being waaaaaaaay to overprotective. I mean really, she is probably around 14-15 years old and if she is actually worked about being in a swim suit around guys in her swim class, she is( pardon my French) screwed socially for years to come. I also swam on a swim team from age 5 to 14 and I can asure you the only reason anyone would "harass" or humiliate her is if she is rediculously overweight or a lousy swimmer, being that your daughter has some sort of sociability talking talking to guys. Also, guys won't say anything to her face, girls are much meaner at that age. But if your going to listen anything I just said, take this advice. Maybe it will give your daughter a chance to interact with the opposite sex in a safe environment(does she go to an all girl school?), it's allowed probably because the school she goes to doesn't see it as a serious problem because it really isn't, I am not a girl nor have I ever been but I doubt( seeing as she isn't overweight) she will have a huge issue being in a swim suit around guys, and no, unless all of the freshmen boys are immature fucks who act like they are 7, they probably won't verbally harass your daughter.(. Sorry to go on a rant here, this is by far the most ridiculous thing I have heard someone complain about in a while and I think it is great that you care so much about your daughter's well being like every mother should but you crossed the line between parenting and being overprotective here, and please ignore my terrible grammar).
