Hello, I'm an eighteen-year-old female that just recently graduated from high school. I'm not employed or going to any other schools, but this annoys my family, so my mother signed me up for a therapist because she thinks it's making me depressed.
I don't feel depressed. I very content with what I spend most of my days doing, but I'm going to give it a try. However, I've never had a therapist before. What exactly am I supposed to talk to this person about if I'm not depressed or miserable or anything? (link)

Yeah what Matt said :)
Also you might want to run by her what you said here, that your mom sent you and you feel unsure if you need it or what to talk about but sounds like you might be interested anyway, so you can say that too.

My (good) friend doesn't think I will be a good teacher. Its want I really want to do, but what she has said has knocked my confidence. She said I'm too shy and I don't have a great bond with children. I'm doing as much studying as possible and will soon be volunteering in a school to gain experience with children (as I don't have any experience yet). I love the thought of becoming a teacher and helping children learn, but now I'm doubting my abilities as my friend is right about me being shy I'm worried she's right that I won't make a good teacher. What should I do? (link)

Dude, be a teacher if you want to. If you don't have much experience with kids, she doesn't know you aren't good with them. Besides it's not set in stone even if you did have trouble with that you could work on it, but she doesn't know and isn't helping you by doing nothing but shakin ur confidence.
Anyway seems to me the bad teachers are the ones who don't like their job. The ones who are grouches. You want to be a teacher? You'll probably do well at it because of that. If she's a weirdo enough to say that stuff to you the things she says in that situation don't seem credible.
I heard that a lot of teachers are nervous about being in front of a class at first, but get used to it.
Do it, man! (if ya want. and according to this you do.)

I've been on an amazing diet and i already lost 607 pounds
accept this morning i weighed myself and i gained a pound.
i didn't cheat or anything. i gained a pound and i am so upset.
what did i do? (link)

yeah weight does fluctuate a couple pounds with no implication about your actions, like your body is just not set in stone, it does stuff, so it's not like you just got fatter, you lost a ton of weight, no need to be concerned about the body's natural ebb and flow (Over 4 pounds is over that line of natuaral ebbflow I would say, for example.
But weight is only an indicator of your progress, your body is your body whether it has water weight or you just ate or period or whatever! It's not like anyone who sees you thinks, hmm, I wonder... .does she weigh 169 pounds, or 170 pounds? if only I knew I could judge my opinion of her body... (idk how much you weigh of course, just chose random weight.)
Making lots of progress, you sound a little overconcerned, not to criticize just givin' ya that imput.

I'm guessing you don't want to hear someone tell you not to commit suicide, but I want to say real quick that seems to me there is always hope, and if you feel suicidal but feel a therapist is expensive then I would advise you to make it your absolute #1 financial priority to pay for that service. Just going to a few sessions could get you over a bump and do something for you just in that couple sessions. Or maybe it could take longer.
A listening friend relative or anyone you think cares about you at all , I mean any one you thiink cares about you may well be ready to try to help and listen to you, since most people are alarmed enough by the idea of suicide to care not at all about personal risk of time or energy trying to help that person.
If there is anything at all that makes you feel at all good, eating anything, seeing any tv or movie or a person you like, swimming, going to a little creek, smelling a nice candle or putting on fuzzy socks, I probably advise that.

I am a twelve year old girl from NZ. I keep getting bullied by this girl in my class, and her guy friend (NOT boyfriend)One of them is african, and one is mexican. They always call me really mean things, and sometimes shove me and other stuff like that. They walk the same way home as me so I have to suffer it for 20 mintues everyday.Telling a teacher won't help, as the bullies will do it anyway (already tried) and I can't tell any other adults because they just make the problem worse. Please help me! (link)

Tell your parents. Make sure they know you get shoved by these kids. Do this, and if you don't feel like this helps, even though adults seem to make things worse, (because some of them do!!), there is probably one around who won't make it worse, who WILL help. The thing is, this is shit and you deserve to have it taken care of, so adults who screw around are one thing but there are adults who want to fulfill their duty and get rid of this sort of shit. lol so look out for an adult with kind eyes at your school or church or other lessons or sport practice or whatever and tell them, because there must be one adult where you live who cares about the welfare of children.
BTW, I would seriously advise you to try to walk another way- or stick around school for 10 minutes so that the bullies are already on their way. Seriously just go to the bathroom after school, do your hair, stare at the mirror whatever or hang with someone so that the bullies don't know where you are and just leave on their own (doubt they would wait for you for 10 or 15 minutes).
Don't want you to have to deal with this walk in the meantime while your telling your parents or whatever.

I have a light pink skirt. The color is called froth pink. I really want to wear it because my grandmother bought it for me and it's really cute. I want to wear a v-neck shirt with it, cause the ones I have don't have too deep of a v-neck, but I don't know which color goes best with the skirt. The colors I have are tye-dye blue, hot pink, pale orange, bright orange, dark blue-green, turquoise, white and bright green striped, dark blue with a little less green than the other blue green. Which one, or none of them? (link)
|
Like the other person said its hard to say for sure without seeing the clothes, but my guess is that pale orange could go if they're sort of both mellow pastels and don't clash, tye dye blue could possibly go if tye dye itself is not weird with the skirt which it might be, turqoise might go if its mellow again and not clashy but maybe not.
Probably the striped one would go, and I agree also that black or white could go good if you have those. If you had any color to choose from I think grey would go quite good probably, or white.
I also think the dark blue has potential.
Don't worry too much about it, color coding isn't a science different people have different ideas.
To rehash, pale orange and dark blue or blue seem the most likely of your choices.
