My friend is continuing to hurt herself. When I was on the phone with her last night she cut herself about eight times. I don't know what to do she has done this repeatedly and i'm afraid she is really going to hurt herself. What can I do or what should I say? (link)
o goodness! this is a subject that i really feel strongly about i guess you could say! Try talking to her about anything/everything that is bothering her!...tell her that no matter how stressed or sad she might be that cutting herself isent going to solve anything! let her know that she can talk to you aobut anything instead of resorting to that. If she dosent quit then you need to talk to an adult and get her help@...cutting is a serious problem tht sometimes needs medical attention if it gets to bad. Before you tell an adult though make sure that she really is doing it, not just sayin that she is...sometimes people will say that they are doing those kinds of things because they want attention and they feel that they have no other way to go..so just talk 2 her and let her know that ure there for her! good luck hope everything gets better

I`ve been a cheerleader for almost 6 years, all-star for 4 and rec for two. I just cheer for my school`s squad now. I have the worst mental block. I was working on my full, then one day I went in and couldn`t even throw a handspring. I never got hurt and my tumbling was beautiful and fluent. What happened? I want to tumble so badly now, but when I try I get freaked out and can`t get myself to go backwards. I haven`t been able to tumble in 2 and a half years, horrible I know. I can tumbling with a light spot, or even just someone standing there, but when they step away I freak. I`ve tried, "Just throwing it" and imagining myself doing it perfectly but none of that works. Can anyone help me? I want to get all my tumbling back cause I`m at cheer camp this week and I`m so jealous of all my squadmates! (link)
Hmm thats a toughie! Surround yourself with people who are constantly giving you confidence that you CAN tumble again!....if you are doing it perfectly with a light spot or sumone standing there then you are going to do fine once they move away. Imagine that they are standing there when you try and throw it! You will be fine! With cheer camp coming up you will be having so much fun that hopefully you will forget about the mindblock and just try it! once you do it once im confident that you can do it over and over!! good luck!!

ok so i have this friend who is completely in love with her boyfriend but friday he had a party adn she kissed two other guys. yeah it was jsut on the cheek but if i were her boyfriend i would be pissed and i think it really bothers him thta this crap happens. i want to be able to get it through to her that she doesnt always need to be the center of attention and that she needs to treat her guy better but i dont know how to do that! kno of any ways to get that through to her? (link)
Well i guess there is 2 ways to approach this situation:
1.) Leave it alone and let the couple deal with it
2.)Explain to your friend {alone} that since she is your friend you dont want to see her or her boyfriend get hurt. Tell her that by doing things like that she is running the risk of gettin called names {whore and other things} and you kno that she is not that at all and dont want to see her become labled as that. Tell her that she is really hurting her boyfriend and that it isent fair to him for her to be doing those things! good luck :D

So one of my friends and I have everynight been exercising and trying to eat healthy.
And its finally starting to show in our abs, that we've been doing crunches and ab workouts.
My other friend whos not exactly in shape, always tells us negative things abotu what were doing, its like she acts like she doesnt want us to lose weight?


I think she might be jealous, but still, she can exercise and stuff too right?

What do you think is going on? (link)
Your friend may be upset that you and your other friend didnt invite her to do the "workout sessions" with you all...she probobly feels a little left out.

Tell her that excercing can be fun if you make it. All 3 of you should get together turn up the music, talk about random things, and EXCERCISE! really it can be fun hehe!...Ocasioanlly my friends and i do those things..it acutally turns out to be better then goin to the movies or other things like that! :D happy excercsing :D

hey! my parents are divorced and i kno EXACTLY how that feels. My opinion on the situation is that if your cousin {graduation party} is that close to you then you CANT miss it!...Explain to your mom that you feel like you have an obligation to go spend time with your dad and his family so you would really like to do both, and that you can help her cook food before she takes you to help solve the time problem. Also i would explain to my mom that you are really looking forward to the trip with your dads family and that he has agreed to meet her 1/2 way and ask her to bend a little too.
hope i helped sum

ok i just started dateing this guy iv liked for a while,and we call each other all the time everythings going fine but the other day i went over to his house n we were watching a movie on his couch, we were cuddeling pretty close when out of no were he says "i love u" n i thought it was pretty cute so i looked up to kiss him on the cheek but he turns his head n i kissed him on the mouth so i pulled back(iv never kissed a guy before)but before i knew it we were makeing out, and now i look back on it now and i feel stupid for makeing out with him on our first date and think that he will think that im easy and like me for who i am not what i am.i no i should talk to him but i kinda feel like it was my fault in the first place. gawd im so confused!
what should i do??? (link)
Well i think that maybe he relizes that you werent "easy" when you just went in for the kiss on his cheek! But maybe you should talk to him about it if things start to move to fast for you. Let him know that things are moving to quickly and that you want to slow down a bit. {It will help the relationship more in the long run if things go slowly} hope i helped some **
