So recently...
Alright, so I'm 16 and a sophmore in highschool. My freshmen year I was a great kid, I did everything I was suppose to and never did anything wrong, I didnt even have my first kiss til the end of freshmen year. Anyways...I was really a good kid until the begining of this year (sophmore year) and now I'm not a bad kid...but I'm not the sweet little angel I was last year. I've started smoking and drinking.I cut myself (not bad enough to really hurt anything and I really dont want to be lectured about that, I know its bad and I know I shouldnt do it) And I've gone alot further with my boyfriend than I thought I would. I'm even starting to think about having sex with him. I dont know what made me start doing all this. Well recently, I havent been sleeping....at all...and I cant tell if its because I just cant sleep or if it has something to do with all this other stuff. I barley make it through class anymore. I'm still passing all my classes and everything but I can barley stay awake through any of them. Last night I had two hours of sleep. I guess I just wanted to know if you guys had any ideas (without talking to my parents) on how to sleep better...That doesnt really make sence does it? Oh well....Thanks for all of your help.

Smoking drinking and cutting are all habits used to cope with stress, usually in the form of depression and anxiety. Most people, who cut, describe cutting as a release of pent up tension. There are two issues going on here, the first is that you seem to developing an addiction to these unhealthy habits, (smoking, drinking and cutting) especially since you know it’s bad and you have no desire to be lectured. People who engage in these types of behaviors usually end up experimenting with hard drugs, which in turn has devastating effects on their lives. The second issue is that you don’t seem to have anyone you can turn to for support, especially since it seems you are determined to keep your parents in the dark. I strongly suggest you find a therapist so you can have an opportunity to process your core issues, before matters in your life become more complicated and out of control. If you are having difficulty in stopping with the smoking, drinking and cutting, you are more than likely dealing with addiction issues. As for you going further with your boyfriend…before you start having sex, consider the consequences and if you are in the position to probably deal with them (worst case scenario).

well i think that maybe you should try to slow everything down. you said you smoke and drink now, well it's your choice to do those things. ou know the difference between right and wrong obviously. but maybe you're feeling a little guilty now for doing them things. so you can't sleep as much. and i lost my virginity when i was a sophomore, i'm still with the guy now that i lost it to, but i still regret doing it that young. i wish i would have waited atleast until i was eighteen or seventeen. i mean, maybe your mind is worried and feeling pressured about having sex with your boyfriend. try slowing some things down a little. you got your whole entire life to experience those things. what's the rush right?
goodluck dear and godbless. :)
