TheTeenGirl answered Saturday February 19 2005, 1:39 pm: You've got to quit hanging out with those people. Friends are not suppose to make you stressed to the point of self destruction. Now listen, you may not think this is true right now, but if you keep hanging out with them, you will be one of them. People like sluts and popular people have great influences on the good girls, now, let me tell you that I was one of those good girls, and I never became one of the popular people because I had bounderies for myself, I never hung out with popular people, or sluts because I knew I had to be one of them if I was going to be apart of them. You should just see maybe a school counselor about this, now, counselors and therapists sound horrible to you probably at the moment, I felt that way too, but my doctor had me try and they're better than you think, heck, I got to eat candy while talking to my therapist. And you can get your arms cleared up, without keeping a big hurtful and stressful secret. You will not be alone in this if you get your parents and maybe a counselor involved. You won't regret it either, because those groups of people that you hang out with are headed in a way different path than you are. I had to get rid of my best friend, she basically left me by hanging out with people who are half her age, and I couldn't stay in that. Yes, it was very hard, but I feel better without her, because I still had other friends. And even if you may not have anymore friends, you will always make new ones. I hope I helped you.
xASH answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 4:32 pm: The thing about friends is that they never make you feel uncomfortable or stuff like that. Maybe you should find new friends that you feel a little bit more comfortable around. I'm not saying that you should drop your popular friends completely but maybe you should take a break with hanging from them because if you're cutting yourself from all the stress than there's a problem.

I'm sure that there are lots of people out there who can accept you for you. Don't worry about not having a bf, sometimes it can be better than you think. Guys are just trouble, with the exceptions of a slight few. If your friends are causing you enough pain that you would cut yourself, than you have to ask yourself, "are they really worth it" chances are that they aren't. Friends are supposed to be a relief of your problems, not a source of them. I hope everything gets better. Let me know how everything works out!!

Dont cut yourself either. That makes the situation worse, and its not healthy! You don't have to have a bf to have friends. I'm single too, but I still have great friends, some with boyfriends, some without, and we have so much fun together!
