Anonymous said: Hi! so basically me and my boyfriend break up two months ago going on a "break." just after the breakup i met this new kid who i totally fell for. Although i still have so many feelings for my ex we broke up because he cheated on me, but he's changed and has been treating me better for the past two months. Should i stay with the ex, or go for the new guy?
if your ex cheated on you, there’s something not right there. i understand the meaning of this “break” but if you need some space from each other, what’s the point in getting back together? if it’s not worth being by each others sides 24/7 then why go back to him? you don’t deserve to be cheated on. he may have changed, and he may have gotten better, but if you really like this new guy, why not give him a shot?
one thing i’ve learned with relationships is that if it didn’t work out once, it won’t work out again. it’s sad but it’s mostly true. i think you should go for the new guy. it sounds like you really have some feelings for him and i think he deserves a chance. a second chance for your ex? eh i don’t know if that’s such a great idea. don’t waste this opportunity! go for this guy!
best wishes! xoxo

Anonymous said: i feel , i dont even know anymore. i hate who i am, i hate my life. my boyfriend used to be the best part of my day, now i feel ignored by him, like he puts himself and his needs first than mines. he barely talks to me now, when he is around me he is mostly quiet and wont talk if i dont talk. im tired of this. i feel unloved, useless, worthless, like im the biggest piece of shit right now. i cant take this anymore. im done with my life.
sweetheart, don’t say that. you are so lucky to just be alive. don’t waste these opportunities that you have to be great. if your boyfriend really treats you like that you need to talk to him. ask him why he’s acting like that because it’s not fair to you to be around someone who’s never happy. that just makes you more sad.
you are not unloved. i promise you that there are people out there who love you. whether it’s parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, even teachers.. someone out there loves you. and with the impossibility that this is not true, i love you. no, i don’t even know you. but from what you just told me, i think you’re a pretty strong person for just hanging in there.
you are not useless or worthless. everyone, and i mean everyone has something great about themselves—something different that no one else in the world can offer. and regardless of what you can or can’t do, just being yourself is more to offer to the world than anyone could ever ask for. why? because there’s only one of you. make that count.
you are the last thing from a piece of shit. you are a beautiful, strong, tough young teenager who is going to make it through this all.
i want you to close your eyes for a second..well um read this and then close your eyes and do as followed haha. i want you to imagine your life 20 years from now. rather it’s married with kids, or in a great relationship, or CEO of some major company, or on Broadway, or even the freaking leader of a country, i want you to dream of this. i want you to take it all in and believe in this. and then open your eyes. no, you do not have that life right now. but you can and you will. think of all the things life gives you to look forward to. don’t throw that all away.
life is hard, school is hard, boys are hard (not like that haha), friends are hard, and being a teenager is hard. but it is possible to get through it. and i know you can. even without a guy by your side.
i believe in you<3 xoxo

Anonymous said: Hello. I have a long story that is just as irrelvent as I am... The after afffects of it being a very sad, very broken Me. I jump at the slightest touch. I shake. I'm nervous. I hide everyday for a few hours and cry. No one knows I am sad. I'm Little Miss Sunshine. I stopped cutting. But I never stopped hurting. My suicide plan was supposed to take place May 16th, 2012. As of now it is non-operational. I feel very scared, and very small, and very alone. I don't know what to do. I'm shattered.
sweetheart, it sounds to me like you are dealing with problems much larger than yourself. you feel like they are overwhelming you? like they are almost trampling over you and breaking you down? i am not doctor, but i am almost positive you have anxiety problems, and possibly depression. i really think you need to talk to a professional. i am going to try my best to help you; but in order to ensure that you are truly in good hands and out of harms way, you need to tell someone else these feelings. a parent, trusted adult, close older family member, guidance counselor.. they are all here to help you.
you know what i find fascinating? the universe. we humans pollute the earth, destroy nature, and break it down—just as your problems do to you. we beat it up, cut at its skin, and destroy its surface. can you relate? but you know what is incredible about the earth.. it never stops living: the sun continues to rise every morning, the trees still grow and the flowers still blossom. the earth will always keep pushing through its pain. it will still go on. and even with all of the trouble the poor earth faces, this planet it still genuinely beautiful—as are you.
i am so glad that you have stopped cutting. that is really an incredible start and i am very proud of you for that. you should be too. it’s hard living in a world where it seems your good is never good enough. it’s unfair really. living up to everyone elses expectations is even harder, i know. “Little Miss Sunshine”. i know exactly what you mean. it’s tough being the happy one when all you want to do is cry. let it out. don’t hide that all away.
it seems like you have a lot of fear. fear is a funny thing, you know. because it’s the only thing that can hold you back from what you really want to be. honestly. and you never really start living until you overcome that fear. darling, i want you to live. you hear me?
this world is a big place, and its scary. and it makes it so easy to feel alone. but you’re not. no matter who you are, no matter what you’re going through, you’re never alone. even if you have no friends, no family, nobody to take care of you (which i doubt is true), you have me. i’m always here to talk. anon or not. you aren’t alone!
you know what you need to do? you need to have fun. you need to get away from your same old routine that is holding you back. you need to go out and do something new. or even just talk to someone new. anyone, even if it’s some outcast in one of your classes that you never even noticed. do something crazy (in a good and legal way!). something that get’s your heart racing. something that makes you smile—really smile.
death is not an answer. you are given so many years to live, don’t waste them! one day you are going to look back on this. and you’re going to cry. not sad tears, but happy ones. because you are going to realize how thankful you are that you never took your life. you are going to be married with kids of your own thinking to yourself, “this life was so worth it.”
you don’t deserve to die now. you will die when you are old, and wrinkly, in a little bed at nursing home, all tucked in and warm, and safe. promise me that?
you are worth this<3 xoxo

Anonymous said: Hi first of all I wanna say I really like your blog :) I feel really weird doing this but I just feel really lost. I feel like I'm never going to find anyone. I'm 16 and pretty shy, but I play sports and get good grades. I've never had a real boyfriend, I just have a really hard time talking to people I don't know plus I don't like my body or how I look. I feel like no one is ever going to love me and if I can't talk to guys and get a boyfriend now I'm never going to be able to.
thank you so much(:
first of all, you can’t automatically decide your life is going to be a certain way when you’ve only lived 16 years of it. you have like 4/5 of your life left to live and i know that during that time, you will find someone. a lot of 16 year olds have never had a boyfriend or girlfriend—you’d be surprised. you’re young, let tomorrow worry about itself.
you’d also be surprised at how many other shy people are feeling the same way as you are right now. i understand how talking to guys can get kind of uncomfortable an nerve racking, but honestly it’s a lot less complicated than you’d think. i deal with a lot of guys in my life, and from that i’ve learned that guys are actually simple. they’re just a bunch of goof balls and if you can talk to them about anything, anything at all, and keep up some sort of conversation, they’re gunna wanna be around you. they like talking about the dumbest things too, so it’s not that hard to impress them.
lastly, stop worrying about your looks. i doubt that you are as ugly as you may think you are, because we all thing we are 10 times less attractive than we are. that’s just how girls’ minds work. plus, good looks will only get you a guy who wants your body. and relationships like that last a month at the most. you want a guy that wants you for your personality because those always last the longest.
i know that in high school when you’re surrounded by a bunch of couples who seem so happy, it’s hard to feel happy being single. but it will be worth the wait. because when you finally get your first boyfriend (which you will), you will realize why it was all worth the wait.
don’t stress yourself out over it too much, it will all hit you one day. but if anything, just break out of that comfort zone a little bit. life starts at the end of your comfort zone.
i wish you the best! xoxo

Anonymous said: Ok so I used to date this guy and we broke up like three weeks ago but we still like eachother and practically act like we're dating. I'm in 8th grade and we were in gym and he hugged me from behind for a really long time and people started looking at us weird... and like two people came up to me and were like "i saw what you were doing to him today," and people were talking to him about it.. and part of it was that he still liked me, the other was that it looked dirty. Is this bad? help?
if you both still like each other, you need to talk to each other about these feelings. why aren’t you dating anymore if they’re still there? you shouldn’t worry about what other people are saying because the relationship you guys have is between you two and only you two. i think it’s really cute that he hugged you from behind, and i think you guys might have something really special. don’t let that slip away. don’t let him take advantage of you without committing. you guys seem to have a “flirtationship” if you will. more than friends but not a couple. and that’s okay, a lot of people like that better than committed relationships because they don’t feel so trapped. but in these kinds of relationships, someone always gets their heart broken real bad.
for you’re own benefit, i would talk to him about what you guys have and what you’re considering it to be. keep this guy close, i think he might be pretty special.
good luck! xoxo

Anonymous said: This guy was my best friend and i've been inlove with him ever since i knew him, we stopped talking to each other for a whole year for no reason. Almost a week ago he sent me this huge message saying hes sorry he stopped talking to me, he misses me and he wants to get back to how it used to be before. He had hurted me so much but i couldnt ignore what he said, so i honestly told him that i miss him too. But things arent back to how it used to be, we still cant talk in person. I miss him, help?
awwh, well the fact that he had the heart and decency to send you that message is a great start! if you miss him, and he means that much to you, go get him! what are you waiting for? it seems to me like you’re waiting for him to talk to you. and waiting for him to make the first move. and for him to tell you it’s ok to talk again. take charge of this friendship! nothing good can happen if you don’t take a few risks, and give things a try.
i understand that he hurt you a lot, but there’s obviously some pretty big reasons that you like him. so don’t let that one bad reason cover up the others. why can’t you talk in person? is that a rule or something? i say you should go up to him in school and talk to him. make the first move. get back to what things used to be like. what could go wrong? it can’t hurt. it can only make things better. it can only make you closer.and it sounds like this is the way he wants things too.
i wish you two the best! xoxo

Anonymous said: I feel like I'll never find someone to love and to love me back. My mom is always forcing me to wear makeup and do my hair and stuff because she claims that will get me a boyfriend. I just want a guy to love and to tell me I'm special but I barely have any more faith left in me to have me believe that that's going to happen...
first of all, don’t cake a bunch of makeup on and waste a bunch of time doing your hair to try to get a guy. if a guy only likes you for those reasons, he’s not even worth it. just be yourself, and when you find that guy that likes you for that girl (which you will) it will be right.
i don’t know how old you are, but i’m guessing your under 18? you have a whole life ahead of you. you’re not even an adult yet. you’ve got at least 60 or 70 more years to find a guy. and trust me, you will. only people who give up don’t find true love. he will come to you.
i know when you’re surrounded by couples all the time at school, and you’re friends have boyfriends, or whatever.. it can feel like you’re the odd one out. but you’re not. most people don’t get their first boyfriend or girlfriends until 16, and a lot of others don’t until they’re in their 20s. your not abnormal, and there is no reason to give up hope. the world is saving someone very special for you, i know it. and when he comes, it will be worth it. and you will realize why all these years have been worth the wait.
have hope! xoxo

Anonymous said: I have a brother who is 2yrs younger than me and we always fight but now that, we are older it becomes more agressive. He calls me names, insulting names that have to do with my looks, my weight, my goals, and where i go to school. He always does that to me and all i do is hit him in the back of the head cuz im always angry. But i'm the one who gets into trouble by parents. But the thing that annoys me most, is that he never apologizes for the way he acts and i cry all the time. Help me?
you need to tell your parents all of the things he is saying to you. it’s not right that hes putting you down like that and its especially not right that your getting in trouble for doing nothing wrong. i know he makes you angry, but try not to get too physical because that’s never the answer. you definitely need to tell your parents the truth and maybe you guys can both go talk to someone to work things out. you don’t deserve that sweetheart<3

Anonymous said: I just started a relationship with someone i thought i liked. we have been dating for less than a week he seems to really like me. but im not as attracted to him as before. hes really sweet but not my type. i really like someone else though and people keep saying to give him a chance be i dont want to anymore i dont no what to do anymore. what would be the best choice?
i’ve been in this exact situation before! sometimes when a guys really sweet, it can kind of cover up the fact that they have nothing else in them that attracts the two of you together. so you end up dating him and realize that he’s not what you thought he would be.
never date someone you don’t like. because A. it’s a waste of the time you could be spending with someone who is a better match for you and B. you are only leading them on even further and will eventually hurt them even more than you originally planned.
the best option right now, is just to leave. tell him the truth because honesty is the best way out. tell him you thought you really liked him, but as it turns out it you’re just better as really good friends. if hes a nice guy, he will understand. you’ve already given him a chance. and you don’t owe anyone anymore if your time if you’re not happy with it.
i say, leave. move on to this other guy that you really like. don’t waste your life trying to make everyone else happy, for once, just make yourself happy! he will be ok<3
hope it works out! xoxo

Anonymous said: i've always struggled with my weight, and i've tried everything to lose some, but i never can. i know i'm not insanely fat or anything, but i just want to be happy with my body for once. it's not all about looking like those models or anything, i just want to do it for myself, to feel better and gain more self confidence. do you have any tips to lose weight in a healthy way?
i am pleased to hear you are doing this for the right reasons. many girls think that eating less and starving yourself helps you lose, but in the end it just gives you an unhealthy and unflattering figure, so never do that.
i’m no athlete so i don’t get much physical activity, but i do go for a run every other night. getting some kind of cardio everyday will definetly help! even if its just a really long walk, it will help. or go for a bike ride, that works too. as far as gaining some muscle and getting rid of fat, i really really like these workouts.. abs, upper body, and arms. they really make a difference, but you have to really be dedicated.
you really don’t need to pay any money to get fit. you don’t need to buy any special programs or gym memberships. you just need to be dedicated. as far as food goes, eliminate some of the processed foods in yours diet and eat more natural things. you don’t have to go crazy but it will definitely help you with your weight, and more importantly it will give you more energy. this will help you with working out and stuff.
remember not to stress about it, just be proud of yourself for what you do accomplish. take it one step at a time and love your body for every little piece of it(:
hope this helped! xoxo

Anonymous said: im only in 7th grade. my brother gets drunk everynight and hes a sophmore. one night i tried to take care of him and his friends forced me to take off my clothes. it was no big deal but i cleaned up his throw up and i dont want to tell my parents because i know it will cause huge problems and custody problems with my step mom and step dad. not only that, im starting to cut. my friends dont see how depreste i am and my dad thinks i over exagerate. can i keep going?
oh darling, i am so sorry you have to go through with all of this. but you can always keep going, as hard as it is, you can always push through. when i was in 8th grade my brother was doing drugs and i found out. i ended up telling my parents because i was concerned about his health. it was on of the best choices i ever made. dont let your brother hurt himself any longer by drinking. your only in 7th grade, you shouldnt have to parent him. he deserves to beat his addiction, and to do that he needs your help. tell someone. nothing bad is going to happen, it can only help.
if his friends really made you do that, that’s something you might want to talk to someone about as well. that’s serious stuff. its illegal and they had no right to force you into that.
don’t let other people’s problems influence you to cut thoough, no matter what’s going on. in the end, it will only cause more problems. you’re young, don’t hurt your body.. it deserves to stay unharmed.
is there a counsler at your school or something you can talk to? you can talk to him or her about how your feeling and they might be a little more understanding. its tough, and i understand how that feels when no one really quite gets how your feeling and how bad it all really is.
you seem like an extremely smart little girl. your just a kid, you shouldnt have to be parenting your brother and his friends. thats wrong. you need to let someone know. as hard as it will be, it will make things better in the long run. i promise. i know you will make the right decisionn<3
stay strong, sweetheart xoxo
