when i was really little, like 4 or so, my babysitters son sat me on his lap and showed me his thing. he told me to touch it and when white stuff started to come out he wanted me to clean it. then he told me to leave his room. well me being young i did what he told me. i didnt kno it was wrong. then i told my mom and she was like dont say anything to anyone. and she didnt do anything about it! i am now gonna turn 14 in october and it has been bugging me since then. it hurts that my mom let me stay there till i was 9! nuthing else ever happened but i mean still. wut could i do to take my mind off of it? i am really happy now and stuff but when i stop and think it just pops in my head and thats the only thing that really stands out in my memoery. i remember it like it was yesterday.

Ok, I'm 13 and I get really bad depression. I've had it for like over a year now. I forgot what its like to actually have true happiness. And I know most teens go throug this, but mines pretty severe. Like I never want to do anything anymore, I just dont care, I hate life, And most of the time I just feel like dieing. And like ver since I got it, its screwed up my life. I lost all my friends and havent really had any in like a year. It seems easy when people just say "start making new friends" or "find an activity you like doing" or try to be happy or whatever, but its so hard. I don't know what to do about my depression. Please help?

i have a friend from school who is petite and very underweight (by society's standards) but she sees herself as "fat" & no matter what anyone tells her she still tries to loose weight. shes only 80 something pounds! shes one of the skinniest people in school, and we're 15... and im scared it might become into an eating disorder. her parents want her to GAIN weight because she's so tiny for her size and can get hurt in sports. what can i possibly do or say to her because i've tried so many times...? (ps her parents are concerned and know about this, and they told ME to talk to her about it because she wont listen to them!)

urination problems
Posted Monday August 9 2004, 9:27 pm
This started a few years ago. When im in a public bathroom with people I don't know, I have problems urinating. Like my whole body tenses up and I just can't. If it's with my buds or something I don't have a problem, but rest areas and fast food bathrooms are horrible, but lately it's gotten worse, like if theres some kind of weird music, or if the bathrooms really dirty, I don't know, I just know that at school I usually slip into the faculty bathroom or use one on the other side of the school that no one really ever uses. Also I had to start doing things like dehydrating myself before long car trips so that i would only have to go like once or never the whole trip. Is there anything I can do without seeing a doctor, and is this some kind of infection, or do I just get nervous sometimes?

Posted Saturday August 7 2004, 12:25 am
does anyone know of a way to get an anti-depressent(i.e. Zoloft©) without going to see a doctor??? I need something along those lines but i can't tell my parents that i need an anti-depressent for certain reasons. My depression used to be just the common teenage cliche of {boredom + no life + no friends + girl troubles = depression}. Earlier this week i realized it was a much more serious problem when i was alone(drunk + depressed) and for some reason got to thinking that i dont want to live anymore.......So i went downstairs, got a knife from the kitchen, went back up to my room and proceeded to stab myself in the wrist numerous times. It bled all over the place for a while and then i turned really pale felt really cold and also a bit nu...
