Too close to my boyfriend
Michael and I have been dating seven months now, we litterally spend all day with each other. (We text before school, see each other after every class/eat lunch together, then hang out after school until 9:30 every night) Its exhausting, I've lost so many friends and I'm sure he has too. We try to hang out with other people too, but he's usually with other girls which causes jealousy fights. Things are just better when we're together. But now, I'm getting worn out always making sure he's happy and were together. I'm not sure what I should do.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Get over your 'jealousy' problem so both of you, you and him, can have other friends or interests. Take a class, join a sports team, do SOMETHING besides be his girlfriend.
Your relationship will end, no if ands or buts about it, if you don't change this pattern. You'll smoother each other in the end, because bitter and resentful and just plain tired of each other.
You have to be able to be a person, all by yourself, before you can be a person with somebody else.
So this week, take two nights off from each other. No calling, no texting, no nothing. Two evenings where you hang out with other people, read a book, bake some cookies, whatever, just not together.
If there is nothing going on in your life but your boyfriend, then you don't have a life. That is unhealthy, and pitiable.

I'm assuming you're in highschool so this should work-
Get your mom to pretend ground you. For any reason you like. And because you're 'grounded' you can't have your cell phone, go anywhere, or accept calls for a week.
That way you just have after class and lunch together, which is an acceptable amount of time as it is. You guys are just suffocating each other :) And this way you can have a break without saying "We need to take a break" or "You're suffocating me!"
