I'm a high school student living in Vancouver, BC. When I graduate, want to become a psychologist or psychiatrist. I love giving people advice. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, web & graphic design, writing, (especially fanfiction) reading, and horse-back riding.

My best freind wants me to start drinkin... and i dont wanna say no b/c if i do i may lose her but if i do i dont wanna become adicted what do i do about this? (link)

If she really was your best friend, she'll respect your decision, never force you, and still remain friends with you.
If she doesn't, then you know she isn't a true friend, nevermind a best friend.
I'm sure you probably don't want to hear this, but this is called PEER PRESSURE. You've probably heard the slogan "just say no". Yeah, well... I know its easier said than done, but stick up for yourself!
Teens, more than anyone, are more likely to become addicted. (Assuming that you're a teenager) Its just like when teens start smoking. They always tell themselves "I can quit whenever I want", but the truth is... They cant!
So, my advice? Clearly tell her you don't want to drink. If she offers you a drink, just say "Nah, its okay." or "No thanks". Don't make it a big issue, but don't fall to the peer pressure.
It may be hard, but I know you can do it. I know I have. :)

Ok i need help there is this girl in my school that i like but i am afraid to ask her out because we are really good friends and i dont want to ruin our friendship please help me out. (link)

This is a tough situation. First of all, you need to be pretty sure she feels the same way towards you. If she doesn't, and you ask her out, it will probably make your friendship awkward. Second of all, you need to ask yourself these questions:
- If this ever developed into a relationship, would it work out?
- Is this worth risking my friendship over?
Be completely honest! If you're confident in the answer to the questions above, and you've looked at the risks of asking a best friend out but decided its worth it, then go ahead.
Good luck!

The bible tells us that Jesus, while he was on the earth, was friends with all types of sinners who repeated, and noticed the error of their ways.
God loves EVERYONE, and it breaks his heart to see us sin, and turn away from him. You're right, you're not worthy of God's love. But guess what? Neither am I! NO ONE is worthy of God, or of his love. We are all sinners, born into a sin-corrupted world. God still would have sent his only son, Jesus, to die on the cross to pay for our sins, even if it meant dying for just ONE person's sins. Thats how much he loves us.
So what if you fail one class? Its not the end of the world, believe me. God certainly does NOT judge you, and condem you, just because you failed a class.
You mentioned that you are a porn addict. Our society is so filled with corruption, what else can you expect? I must commend you for realizing and admiting that you have a porn addiction. Most people, even those who are addicted to porn, live in denial, claiming that they aren't addicted, even when they are. Admittance is the first step to recovery.
So now that you've acknowledged that you have a problem with porn, why not ask God to give you the strenght to overcome this addiction?
You've mention also that you are not as loyal to him as you should be. Now that you've admitted and realized that, why not ask God for help to become more faithful and loyal to him?
Remember: God WANTS to give us the strenght and courage to overcome temptations and trials; we just need to ASK him.
Good luck, and God bless! :)
