sorry if this is long! i'm kind of confused. i'll start from the beginning. so, i hate my body. period. i find myself gross, even if everyone else say that i'm not. i'm short, and i'm stubby. i hate it, because it's genetic. once in awhile, i'll just look in the mirror, or i'll try on close and i just pretty much break down and start to cry. i'll put on clothes, take them off, put on new ones, take them off, because i feel so fat. yea, so basically i have a bad self-image, haha. alright, so this all started back in april-ish. this isn't always, but sometimes ill eat and i'll feel gross, so i'll purge. i feel good afterwords. i did this like sometimes 1 time a week, stop for 2 weeks, do it 3 times a week, etc. so that occured for like a few months. then i had surgery, and i coudln't really do anything physical (i was used to being able to do sports, running on a regular basis) so i started to do it again. then i stopped for 2 months. now i started to do it again. i just feel better after i get rid of the food. but it's like, one day i'll just eat regular, i'll go out to eat with my family and eat. then i'm like ew, i gotta get rid of this. but if i don't then i don't really care. but sometimes i'll try to do it and i feel like i cant get everything pu and i get so pissed off. then other times i can eat a lot but in my head i'm constantly counting the calories, but i'll eat it anyway and it doesn't bother me too much. i count calories on everything and throughout the day i try to estimate how mcuh i eat, but i don't really care.. i just do it. it's not like i'll kill myself if i have over 500 calories. ohh, and sometimes if i'm really stressed out, or if i get in a fight iwth my mom, etc. i'll purge , and i feel better. i guess it's kind of like cutting in a way. oh and i don't really want to talk to a counselor if it's not really a big deal either ( i don't want to draw attentionfor no reason) so i'm basically confused, do i have a problem? thanks so much.. and again sorry it was so long (link)
srry but you need to talk to someone even if you only do it a tiny bit its still really unhealthy and you can die so yes its a problem.


I'm 15/F. I'm really crushing on a guy who's also 15. I've known him for 10 years now, give or take, and our relationship has been made up mostly of him teasing me.

I never really saw him as much else than "that guy who teases me a lot". Then about a week ago, I started liking him all of a sudden. But the problem is, now that I like him, I have no idea what to say to him! I really want to talk to him & such, but whenever I try I get really nervous and I can't come up with a good excuse to talk to him. If I do, then I come up with something really stupid. I actually talked to him about the weather...

I don't want to appear too obvious. =[
Advice please? (link)
first its ok to be obvious. second if you like him talk to him about your hobbies. what your going through is kind of like stage fright but practice in the mirror and youll be ready to stand in front of a crowd


I am 15 years old and I have a wonderful boyfriend just that my parents do not know. The reason why I can't tell them is because me being Nigerian I must date Africans only, but he is white and I am so confused because he thinks that I'm do not trust him because I never introduced him to my parents but he has introduced his parents to me. The problem is that I know my Dad will not approve and my Mom just agrees with him and I have to lie to them that I'm meeting my friends at the mall to go out wit him and I hate lying to them. I have no reason for them not to trust me because I am really smart and always been good so I really need help. (link)
try to tell your boyfriend exactly what you told this site. hell understand.


i think im not interesting,because i can never make ANYONE laugh! and i dont have any inside jokes,and nothing comes to mind when im talking. how can i make my brain make me think of things? wow,thats confusing,but im so blank now adays,how can i get myself out of my "blank" stage? how can i make inside jokes? it just feels like my semi- friends are never going to become my close friends. there never going to love me as a friend,and we're never going to have inside jokes. how can i change all of this? how can i get into convos. and make people like me? and laugh with them? anything,i have like no friends in my town,and i've been here for 2 years. ;[. thanks,and sorry this is long. (link)
try watching comedy channel or comedians. talk about what you watched. or just google jokes go up to random people and say hi!


okay. so i have a bunch of friends..well its more like a clique at my school that im in right? so 3 people in the clique are like reallllllly close to me and the others are my fRIENDS but we're not that close.

Well today i just found out that the clique of friends im in, hung out last friday and are having a MOVIE FRIDAY thing.

When i found out this had happened, i began to ask myself "Do they like me?" "Am i Mean" "What am i doing wrong?"..and this is really driving me crazy bc i feel reallllllly left out. and the times where i try to hang out with the 3 people im close to, they're busy with the rest of the people in the clique.

I cant like move on, bc we've all been friends for so long. you know? & besides the rest of the cliques are filled with wierd nerds hahaha(no offense)

srry but say yes and maybe youll like him


OK, so I'm kind of interested in my ex again. We recently started talking after two years, and I think I might have feelings for him again. He's just taking a 'break' with his girlfriend. We flirted a LITTLE, but How else can I just drop him a couple hints? (link)
dont yet hes still on the rebound unless... he broke up with her . then talk about your hobbies


15/f. I have a conflict with my best friend, who is 14/f. First of all, I am not your average teenage girl: I'm artsy, I would like to become a professional musician, I've never had a boyfriend, and I don't consider shopping a hobby. My best friend is the typical prep. I don't have a problem with this at all. My problem is that she is always telling me that I need to get a boyfriend or a date to whatever formal, or that I need to be more like the average teenage girl. But this isn't what I want at all, and I am completely happy with myself at this point in my life because instead of concentrating on boys, I concentrate on what I love to do: music. So it seems as if my best friend is trying to control me. Lately, she's obsessed with having a boyfriend, no matter who it is. And that's her business, but she drags me into crap like that. I never give in to her controlling manner, but it gets freaking annoying to the point where I don't even want to be around her anymore. How can I tell her to not be so controlling, yet still keep our friendship? Thank you! (link)
hey maybe shell like it if you tell her that you dont want a boyfriend


i am only 15 so i cant get a job anywhere yet, but i need money and babysitting doesn't rake in enough cash! ive tried other things like petsitting and plantsitting but its still not enough. help me! -poor (link)
advertise for what your already doing and it will help alot!!!


Hey,

OK well I guess I'll cut straight to the chase.

I want to do softball, but I am stuck...
[It would be for our school, so it wouldn't be during the summer]

My dad has been out of work & doesn't drive due to epilepsy and my mom is always working. One of my grandma drives, and the other one sort of does, but only in remotely close locations. (She has picked up my brother when he was sick before [at our school]).

My mom works a weird schedule:
~Monday she works 9-3.30
~Tuesday she works 10-8.30
~Wednesday she works 9-3.30
~Thursday she works 9-3.30
~Friday she works 12-3.30

Another person that would be on the softball team lives right behind me. However, I do not know her that well and would somewhat feel funny asking her to drive me home.

My friend could probably give me rides at times, and there are 2 seniors on the team (who, from word of mouth, are mean!)

I would always have to be picked up back at our school, no matter what time.

I also am not sure if I could do it because even without sports, my grades aren't so good, & I'm afraid they'd be even WORSE if I do something extracurricular.


I really want to do softball, but I'm not sure if I should...

So my question is, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!?

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.

-PS. I am a Freshman 14F if that helps any.

Thanks in advance...

try going on the team next year this year may be to busy try a club


So I was with someone and it didn't quite work out. Because I'm in high school and they were in middle school. I just ... didn't think it could work for a number of reasons and I was getting close to this new guy. [friend close] It felt so wrong because I enjoyed talking to him.

So I ended my relationship after a while. He is kind of clingy and into my business.

What should I do about this person without hurting them?

I can't say... "I don't want a relationship right now"

That relates to my next problem.

Also,

the new guy.. I have only been talking to him for maybe 3 weeks. We knew each other in middle school.. like 2 years ago. We talk on Myspace..

He seems to like me? He also wants to hug/kiss me. Apparently if I asked him out, he would say yes.

I'm not sure if I like him. Everyone keeps saying : "Just admit that you like him."
but i don't?

How do I know if I like someone? I don't want to rush into a relationship, yea know? :[

We are.. kinda going on a date this weekend and I don't know how to act. If I were to act like myself.. I would end up cuddling up on him in the movies [because I'm weird like that] and I might give the wrong signs?

I'm just so nervous.

People say he likes me.. I think he does but for what reason? We haven't talked in a long time. A couple of years.

I don't want to get into something that's based off looks. I guess not knowing each other.. gives you something to talk about and do in a relationship

For some reason... I'm scared.

Any advice? :[ (link)
dont be mushy gushy but dont be hardcore.try finding out about him


13/f. when i babysit in the evening from like 6 to 12 or so i get really nervous when it turns dark after i put all of the kids to bed. even though the people i abysit for arre right across the street from my house i still get nervous. im parenoid that a burgular is going to come or something. im scared that i want be able to defend myself. how can i get not so parenoid? (link)
try watching a movie i get paranoid like that but do something else and relax think about a goal or acheivement


I'm pretty sure some of you teens out there have the same "Mom" problem as I do. Here goes. My mom is a really nice person and she cares about me ALOT but i could NEVER please her. It feels like shes ALWAYS YELLING at me. Belive me i TRY to pick up around the house when i have time and after i do shes happy. A little while later when im relaxing shes yelling at me for something thats not in its right place, something on the floor etc. I try to tell my mom that i TRY to help but she thinks i could do me. I mean when i get home from school im TIRED and when she comes home shes yelling at me for some apparent reason like If im watching tv or something. Im a striaght A student and im very athletic and she doesnt act like shes proud of me or anything. I get depressed about it because my mom sacrificed ALOT to raise my sister and I and I know shes very depressed and she always has pains and everything. I dont know what im doing wrong. I think its my mom on one hand because she thoroughly cleans the house like everyday. I dont believe you NEED to thoroughly clean the house everyday. Picking up around yes but not really cleaning. I dont know what im doing wrong and its making me really depressed. I asked my mom what i can do more and she says clean up around. I am VERY tired when i come home and i also have homework plus volleyball games...i have no time to really clean the house. I try to help her as much as i can but there is something lacking that she is not telling me. I could never please her. Please guys, can anyone tell mer from reading this what is my fault in it or my mother's fault?
Thanks alot and dont worry just for reading all of it i rate high. (link)
just try not to get in her way. im like you and my mom sees the bad not the good. try keeping mom from putting you down by writing her how you feel use i not you statements shell understand.


My boyfriend & I's one year anniversary is coming up in a week. I have no idea what to do for him! I want to take him somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I also wanted to buy him a gift or make him one, but am clueless on what to do. I had two plans- I was going to take him to this local plantation that has beautiful gardens in it, but it's closed for a bunch of remodeling until March. Then my second option was to take him to this aqaurium that is 45 minutes away, although his parents won't let him drive that far. So now, I'm stuck on what to do. There is the choice of going to the movies, but we always do that. And we live right near the beach, but it's way to cold to do anything there. (link)
do the board walk if you have one or just go to a local park then your favorite cafe even starbcks will do. he probably forgot anyway. if your really stressing get him a present from the valentine section.try walking on the beach barefoot away from the waves.


that i like and i dont know how to talk to her can anyone help me with convos and short talk and long term talk. Im not one of those guys who can think of anything to talk and then talk about it. So can anyone help me. (link)
dont do that stupid pickup line thing! girls hate that! for small talk try talking about her elective. dont stalk her or anything but try and find it out she probably picked her ellective for a reason


theres a guy had a crush on me in like september..i think he still likes me cuz he like flirts with me and stuff but not as obvious as he used to so i just want have someone else's opinion if he still likes me. (link)
of course you flirt until he asks you out but dont bring it on too strong


I have two best friends and now everything is changing between us. We all three have boyfriends. Amy is always like her boyfriend and I never get to hang out with her anymore and when we actually do get to talk it's always about her boyfriend. Andrea, my other best friend is not as bad its just I dont want to lose them. My boyfriend seems to be not interested in me or something. He never calls me to hang out and then always has an excuse. He would rather play videeo games, or cheat on me I guess. (he is known for cheating). But I dont know what to do because if I break up with him then I will be by myself at school with no one to talk to because my friends will be with there boyfriends. (link)
break up with him and schedule time with your friends, if theyre really your friends theyll make time.


Okay so my 18th birthday is coming up in August and I want to throw an awesome party. I'm inviting somewhere between 20 and 30 people. I want to have something fun, but mature. I just can't figure out what to do at the party. There will be mostly girls (only 5 or so guys). We are all 16 to 18. I'm having it at my house outside. I live in Louisiana so its gonna be like at least 95 to 100 degrees outside. What are somethings I can do at my party that do not involve drinking, making out, or anything like that? (link)
put on music and play board games if that gets boring, try a treasure hunt,you make a list and go around your neighborhood looking for paper clips or tooth picks. it oober fun!


I am taking the SAT tomorrow and I was curious as to what I should do. I haven't really studied seeing as how I am only is 7 grade and I am only taking because i received high enough test scores. Anyway i was wondering if it would be better for me to pick a letter such as A, B, C and stick to it for every answer i do not know or if i should leave the answer blank. I heard if you answer it and get it wrong you loose points but if you leave it blank it doesn't affect you. I this true? Also feel free to give me any other advice, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. (link)
if you know the answer do it if your not sure study and youll be fine you have internet access


Is a Slimfast Optima Royal Chocolate Flavored drink ideal for a 12 year old? This is not for me, my little sister wants to know if she could drink it and I have no clue lol. (link)
give her a milk shake instead but if she needs it it is o.k. it wont hurt her unless shes allergic.
