Ok, I'm a 13/F and I'm happy like 24-7. I mean everyone always comes up to me and asks me how I could be so happy all the time. I mean everyone knows me as the "happy peanut" (school nickname don't ask lol) And I mean I am. And I'm always the friend people come to if they have a problem or if they need someone's shoulder to cry on or anything. But I mean lately everything in my life's been going wrong. My dad's left my family, a kid who was like my brother just died. and I mean I don't know how to talk to anyone about it because they always come to me. And like no one else. And I just want to like SCREAM!! I don't know what to do. It's like I've lost controle of my own life and can't get it back together again. I just want someone to know what's going on. The bad stuff. Because someone needs to know or I'm going to go insane. But I just don't know how to tell anyone. I rate 5's for any answer!! Good or bad, long or short. I'm really in some need for advice. Thanks a bundle if you can help =D ♥Samm

You've been there for your friends, so maybe it's time that they return the favor for you being a really good friend.
I think you should definetly let these feelings out to someone before you explode the wrong way. Sometimes you can get so upset from keeping everything inside that you'll just burst into tears and you'll feel alone.
You don't have to stay happy for everyone and you won't. You are a person, with feelings, thoughts, and dreams just like everyone else. It's ok to be upset and to cry. And it's more than ok to need help and to ask for it. Even the happiest people need help and advice from others. Even though your friends may not find a solution to your problems, you'll feel better to know that somebody knows some of what's going on.
ROXiEMARiEX3 answered Sunday March 12 2006, 9:41 pm: First off I'd like to tell you that I admire you completely for being at this age and having such a good outlook on life. It's really great that you can be happy so much of the time, few people are blessed with that gift. But, just because you're happy often, doesn't mean you should be pressured to be happy always. No one can smile all the time, and every once in a while the friends that you've been there for will need to be ready to be there for you. Life isn't going to be perfect, you shouldn't have to be. I hope you feel better about everything and I'm so sorry about your loses. Love Much, ROXiEX3 [ ROXiEMARiEX3's advice column | Ask ROXiEMARiEX3 A Question ]
Chicken_flavored_eggs answered Sunday March 12 2006, 8:55 pm: You sound a lot like me. When I was in high school, I was the level headed one that always seemed to be able to help. My friends came to me when they had problems, and I never had anyone to go to when bad things happened to me.
I know that it was hard on me, but if you have a computer you can try an online journal. This helps especially if you don't feel like you can go to your friends. I have a LiveJournal. You can say whatever you like and you can make it completely private. There are plenty of outlets for feelings and venting frustrations. If you don't want a journal, or you worry about it being seen by anyone you can email me if you need to vent. Sometimes it is easier to talk to people online then it is to talk in person.

ericaXoX answered Sunday March 12 2006, 6:54 pm: I can understand why you might be afraid to talk to someone about this, and I think i have an answer. First, make a list of the top 5 people that you can trust the most. Some of these people may be the ones that come to you for advice most often. Next, go through the list and try to imagine the situation of you talking about your problems to each person. Choose the person that you felt most comfortable with when you imagined talking to them, and then ask them to come aside from everyone else and have a private discussion. Once you talk to one person about how you feel, it will probably be a lot easier to talk to other people, too.
LoViNu2mOuCh answered Sunday March 12 2006, 6:43 pm: I kind of know how you feel in the way of your life getting out of your control...but I did not even try to get help I held it all inside...and that led to drugs, drinking, cutting, and just bad shit.
My advice to you is to seek out help before you completely lose control like I did. Go tell your mom or someone that you would like to see a councelor, trust me they can help you more than a friend or family member can. They listen to what you say and do not judge you on it.
And if you are too scared to ask somone you can always go to your school councelor or even a teacher. I would advise you to go to an adult, because young teens do not understand a lot of things like this unless they have been through it themselves..
