I would advise to not go with any of them. From reading what you said, they seem like perverts, at least the one who tried to kiss you. Maybe get the other ones phone number, and talk for a little bit. If you dont feel comfortable, definitely refuse. If they keep asking, or bugging you, tell someone of block them. But if I were you, I wouldn’t go out with them

If you don't know them at all, I would politely decline. If you know them and like them, go out with them.

    I think to end a friendship, you should just try to tell her how you feel. And if she talks over you, talk louder. If she gets mad, maybe just walk away. For the girl thing, maybe ask a different friend to tell her that you like her, and to ask her if she likes you back. And if it fails, deny it ever happened and say that it was the other friend probably pulling a prank. I’m sorry if none of it’s helpful

    For sleep troubles, if you don’t like hearing the tiny weird noises that somtimea happen at night, then you should get a white noise machine. I think the Echo Dots also can do that, if you have one, you just would have to set it up. If it’s trouble with not knowing what’s behind you, then sleep against the wall. Maybe put a pillow behind you to make it more comfortable. Or move your bed. If none of that’s helpful, I’m really sorry. And about your brother, I had that problem too. I would suggest doing what HooowlAtTheMoon said. Or give them a fake name of someone that you could pretend to like.

    I have a lot of trouble falling asleep too because of my anxiety. What's been working for me is putting on the radio as I fall asleep at a volume low enough so I can just hear it. My brain just thinks about the current song, and it distracts me from everything else. Also, for your brother, I'd say just pretend you don't like them anymore, and eventually he'll stop believing that you like them.

    Well if your cousin will out you to your mom then definitely don't tell her at all. But you can try to ask her if you tell her a secret if she'll tell your mom. If she says something like "depends what it is" then don't tell her and she'll be dying to know what it is and eventually at a certain point she'll just promise not to tell and then you can tell her, i don't know, it might not work for you as I don't know your cousin but that's my advice.

    Guy here. I was once asked to a friend's homecoming during a band rehearsal break. They asked me straight up: "Hey [my name], do you want to go to homecoming with me? We usually never hang outside of rehearsals haha it'll be fun!" I actually initially declined, then after more consideration actually accepted. We did have fun that night. Now that friend of mine is going into the U.S. military and I'm a music therapy student, but we still keep in touch. So yes, be confident and be straightforward and you'll be all right.

    Confidence. Ask them out and be confident in yourself, boys seem to find this attractive. Also, about the stress, I'd say try to plan your schoolwork and reward yourself when you stick to your plan. That might help you manage it better.

    I found my two passions (acting and singing) when I watched the TV show Shadowhunters, and at the time I had very very bad stage fright and I watched the show and thought "Hey, look at these epic people pretending to be epic demon slayers and looking epic doing it. If they can do it, I can do it." and i tried and i LOVED it. and then I learned about the Beetlejuice musical and started listening to the music and it's so fun to sing, even if I don't sound good, I enjoy it. So that's how I found mine.

    First of all, there’s no rush. People shouldn’t pressure you into finding something you love. You should try some new things. Do things you’ve never done before. I really want to be an actor, and I didn’t really know that until about two years ago. I dunno if you would call it my passion though. Again, there’s no rush. You’ll find it eventually

    I started piano at age 5. There were times when I felt frustrated with practicing and whatnot, but I continued on. I'm now in college studying music therapy, which I discovered from a friend of mine who was our high school's percussion coach during several marching band seasons. I also happen to play French horn. For music therapy, I'm learning guitar, voice and percussion.So sometimes talking to other folks could spark your interest, and some observations in the field too can also help.

    I just wanted to say these are all excellent questions and very much so common concerns for a lot of people, so to those who did contribute to this, realize that you are most certainly not alone. Communication is a huge part of my field of study. Just generally speaking, how do you usually maintain good communication and have meaningful conversations with people?

    I get that. Sometimes I can’t fall asleep or lay in a certain position because I don’t know what’s behind me. I hate the feeling of not having something at my back. If you don’t want to answer texts, that’s totally fine. If you don’t know what to say, but you do want to answer texts, maybe just keep it simple. Yes or no answers when possible. If someone asks your opinion, try to give it to them. Not talking in class is also ok. You don’t have to unless it’s part of your grade(which isnt really fair). I don’t know how to help with panic attacks, I’m sorry. I would suggest that you see a therapist. I went to see one (I have issues with my temper sometimes) and they were really nice and made me feel better. I’m really sorry if none of this helps

    this might not help it go away, but it might help you think about your anxiety in a more logical way. try making an "anxiety hierarchy." basically you draw a triangle, and split it into five sections, 1 at the bottom, five being the top. at the bottom of the triangle, list things that give you little to no anxiety, 2 being things that bring a little anxiety, so on and so on, until you get to five, which are the things that bring very extreme anxiety/panic attacks. so then when you're experiencing the anxiety, you can think about how severe it is, which will hopefully help you figure out what you need to do to calm the anxiety. this may or may not help you, but it helps me. best wishes! :)

    Okay I'm going to try to address everything separately. 1) For the eating thing, I do that too so I'm about to be the biggest hypocrite here, but not eating for days is really unhealthy. Unless you are SERIOUSLY overweight, don't judge yourself based on the number on the scale. Try working out and convert some of the fat mass to muscle mass. 2) Oh dang, I'm not sure how to help with that. Just know I and many other people support you and wish you luck on getting over it. I believe in you. 3) If you and your ex are meant to be, you'll end up together eventually. If they don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore, they're not the one, and you'll find someone who IS the one eventually. Don't worry about it now, if you're too young to legally move out, then you have plenty of time to figure it out. Relax for now. 4) If it's that bad, maybe try to get a relative to help you be allowed to move out. Call someone about it. I'm not sure, I'm sorry.

    First of all, I’m so sorry about everything that happened. Eating is important, you should eat minimum two meals a day. If you just don’t feel hungry, that’s ok, I’ve been there, but you should make yourself eat at least a sandwich and water, or something like that. Not eating to lose weight isn’t good. Exercising would be a better way to lose weight. Also, your amazing regardless of how much you weigh. About your ex who’s with your friend, I’m sorry, I dont have advice for that, I’ve never had a boyfriend/girlfriend. You should see a counselor, or talk to someone you trust about the sexual assault. I think there are some free online counselers somewhere. And and about your mom, like someone else already said, you could apply for adoption or go to court. I just don’t know how you would do that. Sorry if non of this is helpful. I hope it gets better
