I am feeling somewhat depressed and down. I have been told that drinking a beer or two can help you feel better and more relaxed . Is this true? (link)
Hello there. Actually, this is completely wrong. It's a common misconception. You see, alcohol is a depressant, therefore the myth about drowning your sorrows in drinks (beer, wine, etc.) is not true. There are other solutions to when one is depressed - the most important thing is to not keep yourself locked up, since this only tends to make you feel worse.


About 2 months ago my family found out my sister was allergic to our pet parakeets because they had pet dander. We had to give them away and I'm still grieving. But my mom said I could get another pet, but without can't be a dog or cat and it can't have pet dander. I found one amazing animal that is not only cute and doesn't have pet dander, they also act like a dog/cat. Just so you know, it's a fennec fox. You are allowed to have them as pets in my state so they are not illegal. They can be mean but also really nice. We would need 2 because both of our parents work and my sister and I have to go to school. So if we get 2, they won't be lonely or depressed. But there is one small problem. Okay I lied it's a big problem. One fennec fox cost $1,500! So we have to have $3,000 total to get them. And my parents said yes, but we only have 3 months to get the money. How can we get a lot of money fast?! Remember were kids and we can't get jobs yet. Plus, none of our neighbors wants help so were kinda stuck. Please help us!!! (link)
Remember that if you want to earn it you need to work, there are a lot of ways for you to get money:

1. Car Washing - I know this one is a little hard, but it could work if you get some friends to help out.

2. Recycling - It doesn't earn you that much money but in large quantities it could be helpful. Its also helpful to the environment.

3. Walk dogs

4. Babysit

There are probably more than that, but these are some alternates you can consider.

Also - look for other pets. Economy nowadays isn't at its best, try looking for other pets that aren't as expensive okay? I gave you choices of ways to earn money, but in my opinion you should just look for another pet.


A couple of years ago I had breast cancer. I went thru a lot, chemo, radiation, very traumatic for me. I received a card with 30$ from my coworkers and a couple other people gave me 20$. Thank God, I am ok, now, I think.
Since then a few other people have had cancer and they have big benefit dinners, silent auctions, ect and get thousands of dollars. It made me feel really bad, because I felt like nobody at work likes me, because they didn't do anything for me. On top of it they are constantly pressuring me to give and donate and I am just so tired of them making me feel like a nobody. What should I do, quit my job or just suck it up and get over it. (link)
I can't tell you whether your co-workers dislike you or not, nor why they did what they did, because I don't know them or their lives. If you feel throughly uncomfortable with your job and know that you can find another job easily, then yes, you should quit. However if your economic status isn't all that well and you don't have assured that you can find another job, I suggest you try to talk to your co-workers. Not demanding answers, simply try to find out if they indeed do not like you or if it was all a misunderstanding.


I told my mom that I watch this show called the fosters on abc . I'm 13 and it's probably not a show they would approve of cause of lebian thing but I kinda like the show and I'm only watching it because my friend recommended it to me. So what should I do because I don't know what to say if they bring it up when I already told them its because of my friend. Plus it's not really a bad show. (link)
I myself have never watched that TV Show, however, they're your parents so they will be concerned about what you watch. I don't know how your parents are or their customs, but I do have to admit that a lot of TV series nowadays are very inappropiate for younger audiences. Try to show them the good things about the show and not let them focus in any negative aspects. I have never seen it but I know what it's about, I suppose to some people it may be worrisome that some of the main characters are homosexual, tell your parents about any other themes beside that one.


How to stop an obsession? I'm sorry, I can't be very specific about it... (without seeing a professional. I know that is probably what I should do but how can I stop this before it gets even worse?!)-Thanks! (link)
It indeed would be better if you specified the obssession but still:

Distract yourself. It works in different ways when varying the person. Cleaning, organizing your stuff, or simply hanging out with Friends. What would best suit you.

Hobbies. When I'm starting to obssess over something I try to use my hobbies as distractions and get something productive out of it.

Get out, have fun, laugh, enjoy life. Its like a road, if you stop on every obssession one gets, you'll never to your goals and dreams. Cheesy, but truthful.

This is just experience talking. My advice is nowhere near profesional, so if its something very serious, I recommend you see a doctor.
