Hi, im a m 15 in the 9th grade. Lately I realized I've been acting antisocial and that I'm slowly developing anger problems and sucidal thoughts seem to come to me more and more everyday. A year or so ago life wasn't the best but it was bareable, I had friends, fun and family was there. In the sence that they where there and we didnt fight as much. I wasn't doing to great in school but I was trying. Friends were there and we had a good time. But this year things changed. I got my grades up from a c/d average to an B+/a average. My friends and me dont talk as much since we dont have many classes together and we have drifted apart. I have maybe one friend who is also drifting apart from me. This is probably because more than 3/4's of my school abuse drugs and alcohol including my friends but i don't want to get into all that. So this obviously would result in them not really talking or being with me so im at home for the a good part now. My parents and everyone have suspicsions about me and drugs and that constantly annoys me. My family always seem to fight with me. My dads senial approaching 60 and my mother just doesnt seem like she can take it anymore. My 2 sisters seem tired. One is 26 that is unemployed and blames that on me and my parents any my other sister 21 is trying to do college but stays at home and cant take it. My mom just today said she doesnt care anymore about me. I recently stopped goign to school when I have problems at home and thats starting to affect my grades. I ask for very little things at home yet my parents always but there priorities and sisters priorities before me and I dont think i can take it anymore. Help please. (link)
im sorry to hear that. I was actually the same way my freshman year, excluding the drug abuse at school. But when you become anti-social you think people stopped talking to you when maybe you stopped talking to them. Maybe you should just start saying hey to them if you ever see them. But also try to make new friends, find something you can possibly have in common with. and with your parents just ignore them im pretty sure they're just stressed with your sisters and seeing your grades they're probably just assuming. I would just ignore them. With your anger problems just listen to music it helps alot. if not just get a little alone time with yourself and just try to calm your self. I'm sure your mom didn't mean it, ive heard worse from my mom and she didn't mean it. Just ignore it and keep your head up kiddo. Hope i helped


15/f and this guy i have classes with is really nice and funny and cute. even one class i dont have with him he walks me to class. and everyone thinks we like each other. hes always teasing me and shit so i get it. but my ex best friend of like 6 years we also have like every same classes together with this guy. and i feel like this guy throws himself at me more than her, but sometimes they talk more because she throws her self at him. and we still talk alot so i was like do u like him and she said no were just friends. but we all 3 are in a group and we were sitting together and he flirts with the both of us and like out of no where she just decides to peck him on his lips and he didnt do anything. but then he acts like he likes me. and hes not like a player or anything and he doenst like me for my body or anything. it's just so anonying becasue like even though we've had a fallen out me and my friend i love her but she's making it really hard for me to go by him or her or even to continue to flirt with him. but in my gut i feel like he only does it to make me jealous, becuase its mainly her throwing herself at him. this also kinda happened with another guy i liked and it didnt trun out well...what should i do? thanksss (link)
I honestly think you should listen to your gut, you know whats best for you right away. Your ex best friend isn't worth your time nor is the guy. Hint that ex means experience from the past, you move on. and youre probabaly right with the guy. If i was in your position i would think the same thing, he's just doing that just to see who he can get and hes probably thinking hes cool having two chicks trying to get with him. I would keep your distance, not throw yourself at him. Just stick to being just friends, nothing else. He'll soon get the hint that your not playing this game and either stop flirting with you or not be your friend. But you have to have a strong mind-set and continue to do this. You cant go a couple days of it and go back to throwing yourself at him, you would just playing games with your self. So just move on, a guy thats only wants you will make you worth his time only. I hope I helped.


I am 15/f a dancer, 5'7.5 and about 125-130 lbs. I wear a 0-3 in pants and a size small in shirts and a small to medium in leotards for dance.
my problem is when i look in the mirror i see someone who is obese. Sometimes i see myself normal but different mirrors give me different looks.
I would never be able to be anorexic or bulimic because i am deathly afraid of throwing up and i love food and am always hungry :)
how can i improve my body image?
also i am NOT fishing for compliments... i just want some things to tell myself that will help me see myself in a better way.
thanks! (link)
I wouldn't be worrying about your body(: im 5'4 and i weigh about the same as you, i wear 3-5 in pants and a size medium in shirts. DOn't feel bad. But to make your self look slimer, wear black, lay of those super tight shirts most girls wear its okay to go with a nice lose shirt. but if you want to lose weight you can eat alot of fruit and nuts. that really helps. alot of fiber. since youre an athlete drink plenty of water. dont worry about how you look (:


My bf and I have been together for about 11 months.

Recently he seems very distant, its almost as if he never texts unless I try to initiate conversation with him. Sometimes when I text him he calls me. But we have gone from talking like 5 times a day to one or 2 texts... And that's only on good days.

My mind has seriously been wondering if he is seeing someone else and maybe doesn't want to see me anymore.

I had a 2 discussions with him.
The first I straight out asked him if he was seeing someone else.. To which he replied that he had not even considered it and asked if I was seeing other people and that when he thinks about me with someone else he gets a strange feeling inside.

Twice after that he had implied he is the faithful type... Once we were speaking about his past and his ex who studied 1000miles away and he said he was true to her. And once he said its only me wants to hold n touch him.

The second time I explained how we growing distant and he explained he has been busier at work... And then made a point that week of dragging me to a few meetings. I should add he works 2 jobs.

See the thing is I haven't met anyy of his friends or family and am not sure if he is been serious in the relationship.

I mean ok we live an hour apart and he drives to fetch me and sometimes we only have an hour to spend together.

He once drove 3 hrs to spend half an hour at a picnic with me.

But nothing has changed and we still barely speak... I mean he has plenty of opportunity to mess around on me.

Am I being insecure or does something seem suspicious?

On the age side I'm 29 and he's 40 and its my first long relationship. Its his 3rd. He's never been married but lived with 2 woman for 10yrs and 5yrs (link)
I honestly think that if you still love him and you know he loves you then don't let it bother you. BUT ! I wouldn't blame you for feeling suspicious. You should ask him why you haven't met any of him family and friends. And you should go see him to give him a surprise. But If you think you can do better and find someone who wants to spend as much time with you than your current boyfriend can then i would move on. He could be holding you back to finding your true love. But listen to your heart, and the answer will come to you.
