I'm 13 and I'm going through a really tough time right now. Sometimes i think about cutting myself, but every time i go to cut myself I get scared and stop. I will take a super sharp pencil and dig it into my wrist but the marks don't stay long enough to make me feel better, so my question is, what do I do to either get over my fear of cutting or get rid of the thought altogether?

I really think you need to seek professional help. You just need to let it all out and therapist is the way to go. They can get through to you. Hope that helps.


im getting a labtop for christmas for college..i know nothing about computers other than my current labtop is huge and the slowest thing ever. any suggestions on what kind? i dont want a clunker so sleek and fast? is apple good for that price? or any cheaper suggestions/what to look for in one (link)
Go for the common brands like Dell, HP. If you need other suggestions, you should ask the clerks at your local computer shopping area. They should help you find what you are looking for.


i hate my my relatives in my father's side, i hate my father too. they are weird, annoying, arrogant, selfish just like super villains in most fairytales.
when we ask for something they always need us to give something back which we cannot give that easy coz we are not that fortunate, and when they want it, they want it, they may not talk but it seems they are pushing us. they act like gods, gods that hold our lives(as if). i wanna get away from them but i'm still 18 and studying. i still rely on my family and it's them who provides my money, i am super acting nice to them because when i'm not they will hold my money.

my dad and mom...let's just say they are away from each other. when mom left we grew up with our dad which to me is terrifying, we always fight and argue with something...this was a challenge to me growing up... i can't take growing up having my dad as my enemy. i love a daddy, but he always starts a fight even when me on the other side is just quiet and not doing anything wrong, he always get's angry... i'm a moody person and sensitive...
i miss my mom, my mom is always happy to be with, but she's away. i miss my brothers, i miss us gathering together...my dad's side do not understand, when i grow up, i will change this whole kind of ugly things happening in my life. (link)
Go for it. You don't deserve this in your life, especially at your age. It's never too late to change your ways.


I'm a 14 year old female and I have terrible acne. Its all over my face and at random times. I have very pale skin so every little thing is very noticeable. By the end of the school day I look so oily its disgusting. Home remedies? Products? HELP pleasee I'm so embarrassed. (link)
Products with acidic values usually helps. Have you heard of Eskinol? that helps. Also, if you are a late nighter, try getting 8 hours or more of sleep.


How do you tell your best friend that your in love with them? How do you explain your feelings so that your friendship isnt ruined? (link)
I suggest you don't rush things. Give it some time until you are ready. You don't know if he/she feels the same way you do.


im a teenage guy, and lately ive noticed when i work out really hard, later when i go home i cant poo or shit. Like i push really hard but nothing comes out, just gas. Is this related to workouts? Because after i lift heavy, my body feels compressed, so this affect it at all. Please help im getting kinda worried. (link)
You should take a break from your workout and go see a doctor right away.


My mom recently found a paper from my school that says i'm getting a 50 in tourism class, i took that class just to get a credit so i coul pass because it was either that or gym. So i chose tourism and didn't really bother trying in that class at all and focused on my more important classes for college like my math and chemistry. My mom thinks i should be getting 80s in every class. i recently got into a fight with her about this and i told her that i wasn't perfect that even if i try in all my classes it doesn't guarentee me a good grade, just like in english (Which i tried and still got a bad grade). The she started to nag me about school for about the millionth time so i just stop listening. What should i do? I love my mom and all and she can say hurtful things sometimes, but i just hate how she tries to control my life. She disapproved of the vet assistant course i got into in college and wouldn't let me take the course so i tried for massage therapy instead and didn't get in because of my mediocre english mark. She thinks thinks that if i take summer school for english that i can still get into massage therapy, which is like impossible. She thinks i'm wasting a year because i wasn't really ready to go to college and for not getting into college in the first place. As you can see, my relationship with my mom isn't the best, please help! (link)
Your mom is just motivating you to do better. She may sound harsh but she really cares about you and your future. parents push you to be the best that you can and I think that is an example of your mom. Don't take it too personal. Once you are successful, you will thank your mom for nagging at you. Just take things positively with her and you will do find. Think of her as your guidance towards success.


Is it normal for me to be jealous? My GF broke up with me a month ago. I've been getting over it, but lately i've been seeing her with guys and I see her pics on Facebook with guys and she is hugging them and having fun and smiling, and i'm just sitting her pissing and moaning about it. Is it normal for me to be jealous like this? I mean, its been a whole month. Shouldnt i be over it? And when i see her at school, it kills me inside when she is hugging other guys. How do i deal with this? (link)
It's still new and you just need some time to get over it.


18/f: I am gonna be doing college part time next year and so I'm gonna have more time on my hands. I feel like I have no hobbies, nothing to dedicate myself to, nothing to make me a more interesting person. I am living on a college budget, and I live in a country where most private classes are expensive, and there aren't many other sports clubs other than soccer, especilally not for girls. I am intereste in many things, baking, cooking, sports, crafts, photograpy,art, etc. But I am not particularly good at any of them, and I dont know where to start learning without spending a lot of money. Any suggestions? thanks. (link)
Hobbies are formed by experience. You have to do something in order to make it your hobby. If you enjoy what you are doing, then that would be a good start. What do you like to do? That's what you have to ask yourself then apply. Sorry if this does not make sense to you but I am trying.


I have posted a question like this before, and in hopes of my situation getting better, I stopped posting. However, it has not gotten better.

my mother treats me like shit. She calls me selfish and evil. She always wants me to be popular and get more active when I prefer to be quiet and by myself. She always brings me down. She tells me how much I remind her of my father because I am such a "selfish heartless ungrateful ass" and she always complains how I don't get anything done in life. I'm only sixteen and she has brought me down ever since I turned fourteen. She always tells me how stupid and slow I am when I don't do certain things right. I am very forgetful and she calls me retarded. When I tell her she makes me feel so horrible about myself she laughs and denies it and makes excuses. She even threatens to knock out my teeth and hit me and make me bloody. I feel horrible and depressed and nothing ever changes when she wants to talk about it. She hits my one year old baby brother for crying when he doesn't want to sleep and makes me baby sit him on school nights. She gets pissed when he cries for me and complains that I am nothing but a selfish bitch. I need help! Please. (link)
This maybe hard for you but you should report this to the authorities. No one should go through abuse. Your mom really needs to seek help.


Last night I played a sad country song for my best friend. It was about a little girl who's father was drunk and killed her mom or something like that I forget what it's called but my friend likes sad songs and when I played it she started crying her eyes out. She hardly ever cries at sad songs. I didn't know what to do so I just walked away and left her crying. What should I have done to comfort her ? (link)
You should've gave her a hug. Just be there for her.


I am feeling really depressed lately. I dont know im irritable. Little things aggervate me. My husband and I are starting to fight more and sometimes i know hes not doing anything its just if he jokes around with my a flip out. i hate my job now im miserable. i have alot of trouble with my step son his behavior. i just know no what to do. my doctor is a idiot so going to see a doctor is a stupid idea. i live in a small town. when ever anyone says anything to me i just get mad or get an attitude. (link)
In that case, you really need to go see a therapist. They are the only ones who can get through you and give you advice to a better and happy lifestyle.


I just got asked out by one of the most popular kids in my grade. You could tell he really wanted to go out with me. I don't like him, but practically all of the girls do. They keep telling me that I should of said "yes" to him. They also say, "You were so dumb for not saying yes! Any girl would want to be asked out by him!!!!"
BUT I DON'T LIKE HIM!!!!!! Should I go back and say "yes"? Or say "no" and be real? I'm only 11! Help! (link)
You are never dumb of making the right decision. If you don't like him, then don't go out with him. Go with what your heart tells you. I know it's hard especially at your age but that's the only way of making your decisions. Don't let people judge you. In the future, you are going to have to make decisions on your own.


I earned about 320 dollars from coaching a little league sports team during their whole season. I'm 18 and currently unemployed. I applied for another job but haven't gotten a response back. I don't really know what to do with my money. I can either blow it all and buy clothes (I REALLY need to update my wardrobe.. i haven't gotten a new outfit for probably a year and half. I just really need some new clothes haha I'm sick of wearing the same stuff) Or I can put it in my savings, earn more money, and then spend all of that later in the summer (considering i only have 2 weeks left of school).

so should I spend it now? or save it and wait until I have more money to buy clothes?

Also- if you say I should spend it now- do you recommend any places or ideas on how I can get a bunch of clothes for a cheap price? I was thinking Platos Closet since there are name brand clothes (so they are still cute) but cheaper. I don't really care if they are already worn. I just really need some new clothes haha. Thank you so much! (link)
You should save it in your bank account until you raise enough money. The more you save, the more you get.


Half my friends are freaking out about tomorrow and I just heard about this! Why is the world supposed to end tomorrow? Who is saying this and should I eblieve it?

Will the world end on May 21st 2011? (link)
The big question is "will it end in 2012?"


I forgot my itunes password so i can't get apps on my ipod. is there anyway they can email it to me? and howw? thanks! (link)
Just go to the itunes store then click "sign in" on the top right. There should be an icon that says "forgot password".


My friend is a guy and I am worried about what he may think. I acctualy like the guy but i know we can only be friends i just want to tell him I am bi. Maybe ask how he feels about gays and bis and go from there? M 15 (link)
I am gay and I want to tell my whole family just to get it off my chest but I don't know how they will react. I think the best time to tell your friend is when you are ready. It could really hurt you if he has a different view.


When I poo it feels hard to poo and there has been blood in the toilet after I have had a poo (link)
I've experienced that before. It is painful but try not to push so hard when releasing. If it gets worst, you should go see a doctor.


19/m

I am gay, and I cannot find a good guy. I have had some decent boyfriends, but we always brake up because we end up being too different. I am not a party boy, I don't smoke (or do any kind of drug for that matter, legel or illegal), I dont drink. I just want a guy I can be myself with, and not have to worry about growing apart from. How can I meet a guy like that? My last boyfriend was so amazing and so sweet, but he wanted to party and drink and I told him that I wouldn't be able to date him if thats what he wanted to do, so we broke up. I just want to know how I can meet a nice, gay guy who is like me. And please, do not suggest any online dating websites (I tried online stuff before, and it was a disaster). Any ideas on how to meet a guy like that? (link)
You need to find your perfect match and the best place to find it is "okcupid.com". You can manage your match it will hook you up with the right type of guys. I know you don't suggest any online dating sites but this actually helped me. It is hard looking for the right person in public because they may not share the same views as you. You not only meet hot guys but you also meet other people you can relate to. I hope this helps.


i am sick of hearing the word gay being tossed around so carelessly. "that song is so gay!" how does that make ANY sense? does that song like other songs of the same gender? am i missing something here..?

i want people to know that i am gay and i find it very offensive to hear people use gay instead of stupid. i am gay. does that make me stupid?

if you are jewish and someone said "that movie is so jewish", you would get offended because jewish does not mean stupid. this is the same exact scenario: a minority being discriminated.

so why do people do this, and how do i get them to stop? =( (link)
Good question. People are so opinionated about sexual orientations and the best way to cope with that is to just stand up for yourself no matter what. Just be yourself. Just remember that "it is better to be hated for who you are, then to be loved for who you're not". People are just this judgmental because they can't be like us. I am gay too and I've heard those kinds of stereotypes before and it just disgusts me.
