.....boys
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 am a boy, I could maybe help. If you don't want me here to listen that's fine
two boys asked me out on the same day idk what to do
Load More Replies...Girls and how to end a friendship
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
What kind of friendship would you want to end? And what kind of problem are you having with girls?
What specifically about girls? and about how to end a friendship I'd either completely cut off the friend or tell them as nicely as possible that you don't want to be friends with them anymore.
Start a fight over something stupid like their flavour of crisps lol their break up with you 100 %
How do a fall asleep easier? Anxiety's cruel, especially at nighttime when I'm trying to sleep -.- Also my brother knows that I like someone, how do I make him forget?
If your brother knowns your crush, pretend to have a crush on some made up person. Also, get some secrets about your brother.
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.
Thanks for the advice! But I don't have a radio and my phone gets taken away every night...

just go for it and if you can't say it just send a text like - hi mum I'm gay, if she annoues you tell your friend and move in with her, OK don't move out but just fight back and say what's on the top of your mind! You go girl! X
uh- i dont have a phone...but thanks
Load More Replies...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.
Tell someone that you can trust to keep a secret, or to help you yell your mom. Also, do you know that your mom would have a negative reaction, or are you imagining the worst?
i can tell my sis
Load More Replies...Um...boys. Like asking them out. Like actually getting them to like meh. ;-; I also need help with getting my stress about school under control
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.
How to find my passion. I really don't know anything about what I like or want to do in life. People keep telling me that I need to find my purpose/passion and it's very stressful. Help. (I know it's kind of hard to help so maybe tell me how you found your passion?) Thanks for any responses.
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.
I found my passions by taking different after school classes, you could try that
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
If you haven't tried art try it, just yeet paint at a canvas, draw a smiley face on it and give it a funny name
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 can't have serious conversations with people because I can't concentrate and I'll start playing with my pen or picking my scabs I know it's disgusting but it's a habit when Im scared any advice?
I used to pick scabs when I was nervous too. I put bandaid or tape so I couldn't scratch them.
Load More Replies...I have tons of social anxiety, so I usually avoid conversations, especially meaningful ones.
Anxiety.
I can't fall asleep, I feel like there is something around d every corner. I dont answer texts because I don't know what I should say. I don't talk in class. I have panic attacks sometimes too.
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
I would go to a therapist, but my parents don't know of how bad it is
Load More Replies...What specifically about anxiety? Like, anxiety attacks, or something else?
i dont have a lot of advice, but maybe buy some stress toys and/or squishies.
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! :)
Boys and how to get someone to like you and how to tell if someone likes you.
Imma be honest, I kinda flounder on this subject. But I think if he stares at you a lot, or talks a lot to you, or things like that, then maybe
If you are near them, and they keep moving closer to you, they probably like you.
Well if they talk to you a lot theres a chance they like you. What about boys specifically? How to get someone to like you, be confident. Lots of people find that attractive.
They talk to me a lot and always stare at me in class. Hes one of my best friends aswell.
Load More Replies...How to tell if i'm in a toxic relationship with a friend... She insults me a lot, and at first, I was like, "Oh, it's just normal friend stuff! Haha!" But now, she's actually hurting me. Any advice...?
If it's obviously on purpose then that is definitely a toxic friendship and you need to get out of it. I knew a couple friends who hurt me a lot and I am so glad I don't talk to them anymore.
EXAMPLES: She tells me stuff like, "You're adopted, your parents don't love you, go screw yourself, go kill yourself" and sometimes she hits me..
Tell her that she is being toxic and tell her to stop. If she doesn't stop, you need to get out of your friendship.
First of all, she sucks. Second, that is a toxic friendship. I would get other people or other friends and surround myself with them. Tell her to stop, or just don’t talk/or go near her at all. I don’t know if that helpful, that’s just what I would do
Snitch! That rhyme if you heard it is not true just try it ! Trust me x
I went throught the same thing. I would tell them that it hurts you, and if they don't stop, find another friend
Okay, here's the list: I stop eating for a couple of days at a time in an attempt to lose weight, I was sexually assaulted over a year ago and I'm finally seeing about dealing with it, I still like my ex who is with my friend, and I'm trying to get away from my mom who I have a bad relationship with, but I'm too young to legally move out on my own. *sigh* sorry that it's a lot
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
Don't stop eating, I didn't eat lunch one day, passed out, hit my head on concrete, cut open my eyebrow and an ambulance came, I went to the hospital to get it glued. Lesson learned, don't skip meals :)
Or talk to childlinr, just Google childlinr and/or call 0800 1111 x,❤️ wishing you luck
You can ask to go to court and be adopted or you can press charges in court to be given a council house
how to comfort people. ._.
It's different for everyone, but what I've found helps is giving them a hug, ask them if they want to talk about whatever they're stressed/anxious about, if they don't, don't pressure them into talking, ask them what they want to do, show them you are willing to do lots of things to make them feel better, when they see you care about them they'll most likely be in a better mood
Hug them sometimes talking makes things worse just sit there watch a movie and hug
It really depends on the person. Like, I hate being touched except by certain people, versus one of my friends loves hugs and stuff. It also depends on why they’re sad or something. Maybe watch a movie with them, or something (lot of the word something, I’m sorry). I wouldn’t ask them about it if it’s something big, it may just make them sadder. Sorry if none of this is helpful
I feel like I’m non binary, I don’t feel like a boy, but don’t really want to be a girl either. I don’t know if I am, or if I am non binary, like, how to tell my parents? My parents are so nice and I feel like they would support me and there are other non binary people at my school, I just don’t know how to, like, tell them? If you get what I mean? Idk
I get what you mean. I feel the same, I don't think of myself as a boy, but I don't think of myself as a girl either. I haven't told my parents because I don't want them to get emotional like they did when I came out as lesbian, but if you feel like they'd support you and you are okay with them knowing, then I personally would just tell them, just say, "I'm non-binary." and see how they react. Of course, you don't have to come out right now, you can wait if you'd like. That's what I'm doing
You don't have to tell everyone immediately! Just take it slow and settle in your desicion
Sorry didn’t mean to downvote that was an accident
Load More Replies...Tell them however you think would be best. I would probably write a note because talking can be hard.
My best friends left the only website we have contact on, while I'm grounded from it. I can't live without them. What do I do?
well try and find some new friends! And if you can try and find other ways to contact them
How do I find other ways to contact them if they left the only website we had contact on and they never told me any other ways to contact them?
Load More Replies...So do you know where they live, or are they like just online friends? If you know where they live you could go ask if it’s not to far. If they’re just online friends, then I don’t know, I’m sorry.
They're online friends. I know either what state/country they live in, but not enough to know how to find them

My family had a si.ilar problem, but with groundhogs/woodchuck getting in the garden. There are these fences that you can put underground, so that might work for you.
so you mean like those collar fence barriers or like us govmnt electric fence?
Load More Replies...How do I make ramen? no joke idk how
Any advice how to deal with rondom anxiety in the middle of class for no reason. Idk what to do anymore.
I usually try to breathe slowly and find out what I might be anxious about. If I realize what I'm anxious about, it usually make it better.
Breath. Maybe ask to go to the bathroom, get water. Whenever I’m anxious/sad/angry etc, I rip up paper for some reason. Maybe try that? I’m sorry if non of this is helpful
Go to the bathroom and breath sometimes if it's a panic attack I go to the bathroom and strip myself it's weird but for my 1sr panic attack I was scared and I didn't know what to do it works for me, don't judge
Look around and name things you can see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. Helps me.
