My name is Michael, Im 15 and a freshman in high school.
I live with my mom, dad, and sister. My mom is emotionally abusive to me, and is psycho beyond belief. My sister helps me get through the tough times, but next year shes going away to college and won't be here. My dad feels sorry for me, but won't help me at all. Ive been dealing with it, but today just sent me over the top. I came home today, and was going out to dinner with my friends. I went to my stash of money, and looked at it. Well, i noticed that it looked off. I blew it off, grabbed a 20 and went to dinner. Well i came home and counted my money. It turns out im missing 80 bucks!!! I have had the stash of money, for a while, and i keep up with how much is there everyday. I have made no purchases with that money in a while, so someone at home, had to of stolen it. My mom yelled at me when i confronted her, and told me to stop lying and that i was a piece of sh*t for asking her about it. I can't take this anymore, and i dont know where to go, or what to do!!

IMO Adviceman49 has given the best answer but I say also try and catch your mom when she's in a good mood and have a private chat to her and let her know how she's making you feel. She might not actually realise if she's wrapped up in problems herself or it is the menopause. If she realises she's hurting you she may just seek professional help herself and talking may just help your mother/daughter relationship.

Hi,
I have been having acne problems for about a year and a half now mainly in my forehead, t-zone, side of faces, my chin, nose and under my eyes as well as my neck so basically everywhere.
It was light acne at first but I got a fringe and it got really bad so I began clipping back my hair. And I got prescribed medicine--- Zineryt --- from the doctors, I had that for 5-6 weeks and it helped quite a bit on my forehead although not on my chin at all but some spots are still visible on my forehead. I have very sensitive skin and My current cleanser is Clearisil. So I am wondering If anyone knows how to get rid Of acne or anything good products that work. I was also wondering if Pantothen or Proactive work? (link)

Just a little addition, I find a solution of Tea Tree oil in witch hazel is fantastic and in small doses on odd pimples a dab twice a day of undiluted tea tree oil can work wonders but always do a test first to check that it won't irritate your skin and make things worse.
Dont however wash in the stuff, only put it on isolated spots.

My girlfriend and I have known each other for 6 years been dating for 2 years. She loves to dress and look good she is very beautiful and has an awesome body. No matter what she wears she has guys always trying to flirt with her or start dumb conversations. But when she's just going to the mall or to the grocery store the flea market she may wear tight jeans and high heels that makes it irresistible for most men to not look at or come and try to make contact with her. Well my point is it drives me crazy especially when she dresses like that and goes without me, and I've expressed my feelings about it to her. It's nothing slutty she wears it’s just the attention it brings to her and I feel she's looking for the attention sometimes by dressing that way! She is 40 years old and gets attention from guys 16 to 100! I've walked to other parts of a store and returned to guys walking behind her staring at her butt or trying or talk to her. I guess my question is. Am I just jealous and have nothing to worry about or is she looking for the attention, or am I wrong about both? (link)

Fantastic answer Rahzie, I would just like to add one thing.
Many men pick a woman for who they are and they love this, the way they look, the way they act and how confident they are and once they are settled into a relationship the very things that attracted them in the first place start to worry them because they know that others are attracted to them too.
Just remember SHE picked YOU, not some other guy who was attracted to her and if she has so far been loyal to you, they you are doing her a disservice to think that she may cheat in the future.
If she changes for you because she realises that you now don't like the way she is, she will become unhappy and she will no longer be the woman you fell in love with.
Treasure what you have and instead walk tall and remember she's YOUR girl, you should be proud that others fancy her, she walks past them but she chose you.

hey,
Well basically one of my ultimate goals in life is to dance on stage in Londons West End. Partly because all the west end shows i've seen are AMAING and also because i love to dance.
I'm 15 years old. I went to dancing school from the ages 2-13 but gave it up due to school work.
Will I still be able to follow my dream? (link)

I personally don't know enough about you in order to say yes or no but what I suggest is find the nearest college of the arts to you, even if it's 100 miles away and give them a call and ask them the very same question. They may want to see you for an interview or an assesment but this might not be until you are 17 or 18, it depends on who you contact.
The other thing is, if you are that passionate about dancing, get back to doing it. You can fit a hobby that you are passionate about in around anything, there are single mothers who work and fit in a hobby that they are passionate about, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication but when you are talking about your future it's what you have to do.
I can't honestly see any college or theatre talking your wish seriously unless you do.
In short, if you want it, grab it and make it happen.

one of my stupid friends told him i liked him and then he texted me and told me he liked me to but the next day i found out he had a girlfriend and now we dont really talk and thats the reason i didnt want him to know because i thought it would mess up r friend ship i think i should just try to move on (in a way i dont want to)but my friends think i should wait to c if him and his girl friend break up what should i do (link)

I agree with the others but also want to add that you should consider that he IS with another girl and the fact that you like him, whether he likes you or not, will have changed the friendship as he now knows about it. Whether this will be for the better long term or the worse, you can never go back.
I can see a multitude of possibilities here, but three stick out. Either 1, he doesn't really like you and was saying it to save your feelings, or 2, he's a really decent guy and wants to make sure that he gives the relationship with his girlfriend a really good go and make sure that he's not going to finish with her for the wrong reasons or 3, he does like you but he likes his girlfriend more.
Whichever way, give him some space. He's got a lot to think about right now, make sure he knows you will be there if he wants to be friends like before but back off him a bit and let him off the pressure. If he really does like you more than his girlfriend, then he will come round in his own time, and if not, you might just save a friendship.

I've read and heard many times that it's healthy to have sex 4-5 times a week but is it really possible. Me and my bf still live with our parents so that makes it hard. How can we make it happen, we dont want to make it a chore, sometimes he has had a hard day at work or I have and we fall asleep really early. Sometimes we don't sleep at each others homes. And even if we did live alone together where is the time to be intimate and connect for a gd 30-45 min a day. It doesnt seem like alot of time but with full time jobs cooking cleaning running errands. Is this "healthy" amount of sex really possible? Is anyone successful with this or do you have any pointers? (link)

First of all please don't listen to what other people say. It's not healthy at all to have sex because other people say you should in any way shape or form. The correct amount of sex for ANY couple is however much you both want to. If that's once a week that's fine, if it's six times a day and you both are happy with that then that's fine too.
Don't bow to social norms and don't worry what anyone thinks. Sex is for you and your partner to enjoy together, privately and in your own way.
What anyone else does, thinks, says or expects is not for you to worry about.
If you want to have sex in the morning, then do so, if you want to have it after you come home from work or at bedtime then do so. I've known people to have the same lunchbreaks and meet for a quick 10 minutes at home although that can be a little stressful as it's "expected". The best time is when you both want to.
Grab your partner for a heart to heart chat alone when you have no risk of being disturbed, but the first thing you should do is discuss it between you, have a chat about when you like sex, when you really dont feel like it, how much you both want and even what type of sex you like.... straight (vanilla) or otherwise. To really spicve things up also talk about what you would both like to try. You never know you might find out you are missing out on things that you would both like to do and you have the chance of doing.
good luck.

i'll try to be as short as possible! :)i'm 21, f, 5'7", and i honestly really dont know how much i weigh. i really love the features i have right now (butt, wide hips) but i have some pudge and arm fat that i REALLY want to get rid of quickly. i understand exercise will make me lose weight in every area, but is there a way i can really focus on losing weight and lose fat around my arms and belly without completely getting rid of my rear end and thighs? thanks so much in advance. (link)

The answer above is correct, you can't excercise for a particular area to lose fat, you can tone up your muscles and this may reduce how the fat looks on the surface of them but it's not going to reduce the percentage of fat that you are genetically pre-disposed to carry in that area.
To reduce fat in general, which is a very good idea on the whole, try cardiovascular excercise and see which areas it starts coming off. You never know you might actually like the changes when it does start.
Please however, do eat sensibly while you are excercising and don't suddenly cut good food type calories and up excercise, do it gradually and find a balance so you don't make yourself ill. Also remember that it takes your body around 4 months to recognise an "eating normal" so any diet that you have for less than that may not work long term, you have to stick to a good eating habit long term for it to be properly effective.
