To make a long story short, I used to drink, a lot. Well after a friend passed away from a drunk driving car wreck, I tried not to, but I still did. Finally, I was able to give up alcohol. Since Thanksgiving I've had not even enough alcohol to fill up a wine glass. I'm proud of myself, especially since I'm 15. The bad thing is, I've started to cut my wrists again. You see, drinking took my mind off my problems, and I know it didn't solve anything, because not only were my problems still there, but I had a headach to go along with them. To try to stop myself from driniking, every time I wanted to have some kind of alcoholic beverage, I'd write a poem instead. It helped at first, it kept my mind of the cravings. But then the cravings just got worse. So I turned back to my old ways of cutting my wrists. I really want to stop, but I don't know any other way to just get out my feelings. Well, I do, it's just that when you're so frustrated, or upset, it's hard to think straight so you do the first thing that comes to mind. It's kind of hard to explain. And I would prefer not being told to talk to anybody, because I have, and I don't just mean talking to friends, I've talked to responsible adults too. After talking, I stop what I'm doing for a little bit, but after a week, or a month, or even two-three months, the stress gets so overwhelming that I start up again, and it's just not something I want to be doing. I know I want to change, it's just hard.
Any advice is appreciated. (link)

First of all, bravo on giving up alcohol. That is a very addicting habit that is harmful to your heath. As for your cutting, I know you don't want to hear it, but you just might need professional help. Even if it's just someone to talk to. Nobody can make you stop cutting but you. You need someone to talk to all the time. Not just someone to talk to you for a little while, but someone to talk you through the stress and anxiety you feel when you want to cut.
Good luck. If your a strong person, you'll get over this. Have faith.

My hair is abnormally thick and is really wavy. I want to be able to wear it down instead of in a ponytail all the time. But t takes like an hour and a half to straighten and i dont have time to do that every morning before school. Are there any products i can use or any ways i can style it?
(oh, and it also gets very frizzy when i wear it down) (link)

I have the same problem. If I want to wear it down, I take a shower. Then when my hair is still wet, I scrunch lots of extra hold mousse (I use garnier) in it and let it air dry. That will give you natural curls without the frizz.

The best way to be sure you are not pregnant is to make sure your boyfriend wears a condom EVERY time and for you to be on birth control. All it takes is 1 time for you to get pregnant. At 17, that is not a situation you want to be in. You also need to start seeing a gyno to be sure everything is okay.
Stress is most likely the reason your period is late. Keep in mind, however, that most women cycle every 28 days and it's very possible that your period could come later than February.

ok so lastnight my boyfriend was fingering me and when he pulled his fingers out there was like little white dots in my cum. could i have a yeast infection? what are the symptoms? please answer, i rate 5. (link)
|
A yeast infection should only be diagnosed by a doctor. It can be caused by tight under garments or wearing a wet bathing suit too long.
If you have a yeast infection, believe me, you'll feel it. You will be incredibly itchy and red. To ensure that you are completely healthy, it is a good idea to begin seeing a gynecologist once you get your first period or become sexually active.

I gave myself a fake tattoo with a safety pin and pen ink...that was about a month ago. Does anyone know how long it takes for it to fade out, or does anyone know how to get rid of it? it is a small tattoo, just a name written really small. (link)
|
Oh boy. Body modification is an extremely serious topic that must be approached with caution. NEVER NEVER NEVER attempt to modify your body by yourself. That includes ear piercings, "fake" tattoos, and body piercings.
Now on to the advice. The tattoo you gave yourself, was unfortunately not exactly fake. A real tattoo also inserts ink under your skin. There is a good chance that you will be stuck with that tattoo for life unless you want to spend a lot of money to get it removed.
With tattoos, always always take care to be 100% sure you want that design on your skin for life. Names are an especially sensitive subject and should more often be limited to the names of your children.

i have stretch marks around my nipples and on my upper thighs near my butt, how can i get rid of them? and are they normal? (link)
| |
If you were born like that, there is a good chance that you cannot get rid of them. Stretch marks in any case, are entirely normal. I wouldn't worry about them unless they are causing you pain.

Jesus, I just got back from the Spelling bee. I had been studying like a fiend the night before (From 4:00pm-10:00pm), I had the whole Paideia memorized, and I was almost sure that I would be headed for Washington D.C. in a few months. OMG! GODDAMNIT! It was the first round, and they gave me a really easy word, and I completely forgot the word. The word was "notary." Isn't that an easy word? I bet everyone here can spell that word. I just blanked out on that word and forgot. They rang a little bell, and that signified that I was the 4th person out on the 1st round. I suddenly remembered how to spell the word when they rang the bell, but it was too late. I lost.
All of that hard work----flushed down the toilet. If it weren't for that stupid word, I know I could have won. I have never lost a spelling bee in my life. I need to talk.
Anyone who at least tries to make me feel better gets a 5 (link)

Don't feel bad because you lost one spelling bee. There is always more. Perhaps if you had studied a bit more and gotten more sleep, you would have done better. Next time, try studying for a few hours the entire week before the bee.
As for the actual spelling, I pat you on the back for being able to spell. I myself have an incredibly hard time spelling some easy words like awkward. I always spell it "akward".

There is this guy. We have never actually talked in person but he instant messaged me and we got to talking. We talked for a while and he told me a secret. A huge secret. I have never been told such a big secret before. Now it is incredibly weird around him at school. I fell like i know him so well but yet I dont. It is so awkward. We dont really talk anymore but knowing that I know his secret is just weird. I am the only one that he ever told. I cant even talk to him unless it is over a instant messenger. How do i make this situation not awkward. (link)
|
First of all, you need to talk to him in person. Instant messenger is incredibly impersonal and you're never going to get over the awkward situation if you don't.
Secondly, he must have had a reason for telling you such a huge secret. You obviously don't want to tell anyone else his secret, but you do need to tell him how you feel about knowing his secret.
Try talking to him out of school, if that would help. Ask him to go for a walk or get some coffee after school so you guys can talk about your situation.

i have been hungover the same boy for a year and half. i never talk to him and but he and i had some chemistry and i think he liked me .but i just cant seem to get over him. no matter what (link)

Try focusing your attention on something other than this boy. If he isn't a friend of yours and you don't talk to him, then you should have no reason to be obsessing over him. Try to take your mind off of him by joining a sports team or taking up a new hobby.

Does someone know what you have to go through to get homeschooled? (Like do you have to get certain papers andhave people sign them). And how long it takes to register the papers through to be legally homeschooled by your parent/guardian? Thank-you. I'll rate (link)

There are different requirements on homeschooling for every state. You will need to find out what the requirements are for your state. Try asking your school guidance counselor.
