15, female.
I lost my first true love, Jordan over stupid lies Casey told me. I lost my very best friend of 6 years, Casey. She's a victim drinking, casual sex, and weed. My mom has breast cancer. My brother is moving across the country. After three months apart, Jordan and I started hooking up again just because were both still in love but everyone is against us dating again. My mom caught us while he was fingering me and I was giving him a handjob; there goes that trust.
Life is slowly falling apart. I only have two other friends. I've been told I'm attractive, so its not that I'm hideous to talk to. I'm outgoing, always honest, and I'm fair to others. Still, people always assume I come off as a bitch and don't bother to get to know me. I need more friends, I need people to help me get through. Help.

Don't shut her out of your life. There is no advice like a mother's advice, and since she has cancer, you may later seriously regret not sitting down and talking about all of your problems.
She will do her best to help you sort things out like your thoughts on her cancer, your brother moving, why you lost your friendship with your best friend, how you feel about being disallowed to date your boyfriend.
You don't really need more friends to help you- you just need a person you can trust to talk to.
Your mom is someone you know you can trust, so give her a shot at helping you. She will appreciate you asking her advice.
Hell, she'll appreciate you just letting her into your world by talking about your problems.
I mean, you lost her trust. A big way to regain it is for her to know that you will always be honest with her and tell her what is going on.

try only saying nice things and be calm and patient, things like this happen to everyone [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]
