so, like, probably about a month ago i started cutting myself. now, i can't stop. it has turned into an addiction. i can't hide it anymore, i wera like tons of hair things on my wrist, but it still doesn't fully cover all of the cuts and if one accidentley moves, people are like omg what is that?! and i always tell them i axcidentley burnt myself. and i have been going to the doctor ALOT lately because i'm really sick and they don't no what is wrong with me and so they always check my body and stuff, and i have been getting I.V.'s and stuff and the nurse just pulls up my sleeve and see's it and looks at me then just acts like she didn't see it because she no's. so, i have been trying to stop, i really have, but it is so hard because i like to do it so much. it's not like im really doing anything bad to me, they are harmless little cuts that barley bleed, so what i really want is to no how to hide them! anyone who can help will be well appreciated! thanks.

kipjoyner-thats wrong....it's not like she does it because she wants to!!!! It's a disease, manic depression/bi-polar. You need to get help, professional help. You cannot stop this on your own by pure will power. My sister does the same thing, cutting herself to releive stress and anger...Never cutting deep enough to hurt herself but enough to know its there. You realy need to tell someone that your doing this because if you don't, you won't be able to live a normal life. But, in the end, you have to want to get help...Doctors won't be able to help you unless you help yourself by being honest and telling them what is going on. It's very sad to see someone suffer from this problem. I spent three years yelling at my little sister about it because I thought that she was just doing it for the attention, and I regret that...she had a serious problem venting emotions and needed help, as it seems that you do too.


i returned some clothes at Christmas at a store, and really i wanted the money but when the cute guy at the place asked me if i wanted store credit/ put it on a gift card i said yeah. and im going to the mall tomarrow, do you think that if i ask for the money on the card they'll give it to me?
thankss. (link)
no, they won't give you cash. And if you buy something and return it, they will put it back on a gift card since that was the payment you used to purchase the product with. If you wanted cash back, you probably should have not taken the gift card:( Sorry.


ok i am 15 and i wear a bra size 32A. i dont wanna have like dolly parton boobs, but i want regular sized boobs without getting a job done and without gaining weight. AND WITHOUT STUFFING.

any ideas??? (link)
Your only 15, they will get bigger as you you do, but victoria secret has silicone inserts for your bra that feel lifelike, I think that they run about $50...any plastic surgery is going to cost you an arm and a leg, cheap surgery means cheap results, and I don't think that they will do it until your puberty is complete. Be glad that you have small ones now, I have a 36C and I hate them, I'm getting ready to have a breast reduction because they are always in the way:) Good luck

It sounds like you are experiencing depression, if it has been a while and you feel helpless, hopeless, unmotivated and tired all of the time, you should talk to a doctor and your parents. I have Histronic personality disorder, and when I break up with a bf, no matter how short we dated, I can't get over it, and it affects my everday quality of life. It is normal to feel sad over the break up, but your going to go through a couple more of them before you get married or settle down with someone...but it's normal. If you seem to be having problems moving on, please talk to your parents about it, and if they won't listen, talk to the counsler at school, sometimes parents don't really understand how serious break ups are for teenagers...remember, us parents grew up in a different generation:) Talk to someone about your feelings, you may find that it really helps just to be able to vent to a complete stranger that won't judge you or call you silly or stupid for having these feelings. Good luck


15/f

I recently started taking 5 mg of Abilify (mood stablizer), but i stopped it 2 days ago because I started to feel really anxious and antsy and jittery and restless all the time. I haven't had it since then, but the restless feelings haven't gone away.

nothing else has changed about my diet, etc.

what can I do to stop this? It's like i want to get up and run around in circles but I'm too tired/can't. (link)
You need to talk to your doctor about the way it is making you feel...you really shouldn't stop taking medications that are perscribed to you, especially something that is an anti depressant, it could lead to worse feelings and depression. Your doctor should be able to change your perscription over the phone, and have a new one called in for you. Obviously until you talk to them or get a new medication, things are not going to start feeling better for you. Good luck


what does "hold you down" mean? (link)
It means to not let other peoples opinions or actions affect the person you are or the things that you feel.


i am 14. my boyfriend (also 14) has felt me up. we've made out. and i've given him a handjob.

a) opinion: am i too young for this?
b) opinion: should i slow things down?

we aren't going to have sex or anything.. i just don't know if we're already moving too fast compared to other kids my age. i can't very well ask other kids my age. it would just sound so odd: "hey, have YOU given your boyfriend a handjob!?"

i don't know.
amateur experts: help me out!

thanks a zillion [: (link)
Only YOU know the answers to both of those questions....if you think that things are going too fast and too far, then tell your bf that you want to take things slower. Your not doing anything illegal, and your right, you can't exactly go around asking those questions....so it's up to you. If your feeeling unsure about the way things are going then talk to him and tell him that you feel that way...if he tries to presure you into anything more than your ready for, get rid of him ASAP. A good boyfriend will understand how you feel and not pressure you into things that you don't think that you are ready for. Good luck


I'm 24 and just finishing college. I've been seeing this new guy and he has a kid. I was really afraid to get involved because of the kid but now he wants me to marry him... I think I want to but I'm not sure if I can handle the drama with the ex.... Help! (link)
I have been in your situation. I have a 4 year old and am in the middle of a very expensive custody battle with my ex and his new wife...I have a new husband as well...and it's a messy situation. I don't know what else to tell you other than you have to decide what is more important to you...Sorry if my advice didn't help, but I have been in your shoes, and I have had to deal with my ex's new wife telling my daughter to call her mommy. The roles are reversed, but I do sympathise and I know how you feel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You have to do what feels right for you. If you can't accept his child, then obviously you already have your answer. The only way to get through the ex drama is to be plesant and work through it. The ex obviously has fears about you having a part in her childs life, and thats normal. Try to put yourself in her postition. If you were the childs mother and your ex wanted to marry someone that she doesn't know. It's scary. If you really love the guy and want to spend the rest of your life with him, then you have to accept the emotional baggage that comes with it. It sounds to me that you are too unsure, and thats not how you are suposed to feel about the man you should marry. It's a important lifetime commitment, and if you don't feel that you would be able to handle it, then you shouldn't even be thinking about getting married. Have you tried to talk to him about your feelings regaurding his ex and child? Sometimes it helps to talk openly with people if you are feeling doubts about your future with him. Good Luck, but it sounds to me like you already have your decision made, you just have to tell him.


I need some. Preferably emo/screamo/metal/rock, etc. (link)
Me first and the gimme gimmes....one word...AWESOME.


for verizon does the bill my parents get with my txting and phone calls show what i said in the txt? thanx so much! :] (link)
No...It will tell you the number you texted or called and the ones that called or texted you...but it does not keep track of conversations...that would go against some of the constitution.....Unless it has a key word in it like "bomb" etc...then, the FBI will most likely show up.


if i was pregnant,
what would i do about my belly button ring? could i just get one of those bendy belly button rings? or no?

andd...
what should i do about cheerleading? in a varsity cheerleader for my school.

also...
what should i do about school? (link)
Nope, the last trimester would tear your belly button ring out and would lead to really ugly scar tissue....you can't keep it. Sorry. I know from first hand experiance. Cheerleading is probably not a good idea either, although exersise is important, running is ok but in the first three months falls could cause a miscarriage. Please stay in school...dropping out would ruin your chance of ever having a normal future and good paying job. Do yo want to tell your child that you are a high school dropout? Not trying to sound mean, but an education is very important especially if you will need a job to support your child. My younger sister had her baby at 15 and her life is nothing to be proud of, she dropped out and works at burger king making minimum wage and barely enough to pay for rent, child care and groceries. It is possible to go to college with a baby...they offer night classes, which worked for me (I'm a bit older though)Don't give up hope...I baby is not the end of life, it's the beginning of a new one.


18/f
majorly overweight
sadly, considered obese
i'm 5'5" and weigh 203 pounds...
yea, it makes me real sad when i see that
things is, i don't really look all that fat
but it is there =(
does anyone know of how i can fix this problem?
like steps to take to becoming healthier
and more fit/tone like all over? (link)
Take baby steps, It takes alot of will power and want to to lose weight. Diet and exersize are the best ways to do it. Start walking at night, and eat smaller portions. Stay away from chips, cookies and candy. The sugars in apples bananas and oranges are good for you, and will give you energy. Teadmills are good and eliptical machines are great for burning calories. Start small. You can move mountains, but you can only move one rock at a time. Good luck...losing weight is very hard, but watching the transformation is amazing.


ok. my mom found out my bf and i have been having sex. Now she's giving the cnstant guilt trip. I mean, I'm sorry if I hurt her, but the ONLY reason I kept it from her to begin with is because OF this. So what do I do, HOw do I clear that acward feeling? (link)
Sit down and talk to her about it...She is more than likely sad to see that her daughter is growing up, and possibly upset that you have not discussed it with her. My daughter and I have a very good relationship, she feels that she can talk to me about anything (which she can) If you explain to you mom what is going on you may be able to clear the air around the problem. Rememebr, her daughter having sex has probably been one of her biggest fears since the day you were born, and now she is having to face it.

Okay so, my friend does hooka. I know it's a drug, but it's legal if you are 19 or something...right? Well, she is 15 and her and some of her other friends went to the hooka bar. [never been there in my life cuz i'm not that kinda girl] She told me she wasn't gonna do it again, just a one time thing because she was curious...well, turns out she's doing it again next Saturday. And she was trying to entice me to do it, saying stuff like, "It was sooo relaxing, and it made you kinda dizzy. But then you went to the dancefloor and partied and everything, it was great!" and "you should try it, it would be cool of you." and I was just like..."nahh, I'm good." The I asked her if she was hooked on it, and she was like no...you can't get hooked on hooka. Is that true? [not that I am going to try it..ever.]
But now...you ahve to understand this, she has never been a druggie in her life! And she is now doing hooka, and she just told me that tomorrow she is trying weed. Like wtf, she is turning into a druggie, and I'm friends with some, so it's not like I'm against all of them, but why ruin your life? and why is she trying to get me to do all these drugs when I tell her NO?! I don't know why I'm mad at her, I feel betrayed, she said she wouldn't do that stuff, but next thing you know shes going to hooka bars and smoking weed. I need advice, I need SOMETHING, ANYTHING! comments or whatever would be great. thanks in super advance. (link)
Hooka is flavored tabacco and nothing more...it won't make you dizzy or lightheaded...it's not pot. It's just legal tabacco and you have to be 18 to smoke it...your friend could have gotten a citation and the bar could be shut down for serving minors with tabacco...Hooka is not a drug...


My aunt's getting married in June and her dresses are so totally not even good. We tried our dresses on and I SWEAR it emphasises like every little piece of fat we have on our bodies. And they're a buttercup yellow and I have really dark haie and dark skin, how am I supposed to look good in this dress? (link)
I agree, it's your aunt's day...when you get married you can choose whatever bridesmaid dresses you want to, but your aunt choose what she liked and you should smile and bear it. To do anything else would be selfish


i don't understand why i always got headace, how can i get rid of it beside medcaine? please help me, is it becuase sleeping too much? what is cause having headace? so i can aviod it. (link)
You should get checked immeadiately, the top sign of a brain aneurysm is constant headaches that hurt so bad you can't get out of bed. I had a friend die of one at the age of 16 years ago. Even if it is not aneurysm, you should see a doctor


im tired of taking BC pills everyday to prevent pregnancy. Isnt there like a shot i can get from my doctor that will prevent me from getting pregnant for like 5 years no matter if i use protection or not? (link)
Yeah, Even if your on birth control, it does not protect you from any sort of std...just becasue you get the shot, you still need to use a condom, It's the ONLY thing that will protect you from a sexually transmitted disease.


Okay so I'm 95% positive i'm gonna get my tongue pierced... BUT... the only thing is is that im starting a new job soon and they dont allow them... so is it possible to get it pierced but with a clear ball on the top? My mom said (since she's the manager at where i'm gonna start working) that if i can get a clear one it'll be fine... so does anyone know if that's possible? (link)
No, they don't make a piercing bar with a clear top, you can get a retainer, but remember that for the first two months, you can't change your toungue ring. I had mine for two weeks, took it out for 20 minutes, and the hole closed....I had to have it repierced. Alot of companies will not hire you with a toungue ring either, some will...but most won't. Keep that in mind before you take the plunge.
