 I’m going out with a really nice guy. He says he loves me, and he even wants to get married. The problem is, I don’t love him. I’m in love with his best friend and it’s driving me crazy. I dream about him all the time and often cry myself to sleep. I’ve tried to find out how he feels, but he is in difficult position too. My friends say I should stop seeing my boyfriend. But, if I can’t have the boy I love, surely he is the next best thing.

I’ve got a great girlfriend and we’ve been together for about six months. It’s all been quite serious but now I’m not so sure. You see, I saw my ex-girlfriend again at a party a few days ago and I think she feels we made a big mistake and that she really wants us to start going out again. I think I feel the same. What do I do? How do I tell my present girlfriend that I think we should break up?

 My best friend and his girlfriend have been together for some time, but she keeps flirting with me and I don’t know if he realizes or not. Should I tell him? I don’t really fancy her, but I really like his ex-girlfriend. Do you think he would mind if I asked her out? He is an old friend and I don’t want to upset him.

My younger brothers are always teasing me and they make me get mad. They try to make me feel stupid in front of my friends. I don’t know what to do. I can’t hit them bad because they are my brothers.

My girlfriend is angry with me because I hang out with one girl of my neighborhood. I don’t want to loose her but I cant stop hanging out with my friend because we were doing this since we were little kids. HELP.

                          I’m a 13year old boy and I like to spend my free time playing on the computer. I don’t go out very often because I don’t have lots of friends, that is the reason for my letter. Ever since the junior school everything was going well and in the 6th grade all my friends started avoiding me and when we were together I didn’t knew what to do and I didn’t feel welcome. I never had the courage to ask them why they were avoiding me because I thought that they were going to make fun of me. I know that they must have a reason for not talking with me but I don’t know what the reason is please help me because I can’t stand this anymore.

The Problems We Have!

 

Dear

I’m fifteen years old and I’ve been going out with my boyfriend for nine months. Recently we started having a more intimate relationship. Although we used condoms, I think that I’m pregnant. I’m afraid to have a pregnancy test and haven’t told my boyfriend yet as I’m not sure how he will react. I have no-one to turn to and feel desperate. Please help me.

Dear ?

I’m so unhappy! My parents hate me. Whatever I do to try to please them it turns out the opposite. They are always yelling at me and bossing me around as if I’m still a little child. I’m almost 16 but they still only allow me out until 12 o’clock. It’s so embarrassing, but each time I try to make them understand that it’s too early, we end up fighting and I get punished as usual. Nobody understands me, nobody even likes me. My parents hate me. Sometimes I think no-one would miss me if I wasn’t here. Please help me, my life is pointless!

Dear ?

I’m so depressed. Two weeks ago I broke up with my boyfriend. We had a fight and now he refuses to talk to me. We’ve been going out for almost a year and I love him very much, but he says he doesn’t love me anymore. I just don’t know what to do. I cry all the time and I’m sure I‘ll never get over him. I feel like my life has no meaning now. Please tell me what to do.

 

 

Dear ,

I’m 16 and everyone tells me I have an eating disorder. My parents say I’m anorexic but I believe I ‘m just being careful with my diet. When I was 12 I put on a lot of weight and I desperately wanted to become slim. I got obsessed with my body and since then I’ve had lots of problems. Every month I got thinner and thinner and when people told me how skinny I looked, I loved it. Now my health is beginning to suffer and I get ill; very easily. The doctor told me that I should put on weight or I’ll soon end up in hospital. But I still don’t think this has anything to do with my weight. My parents are also thinking about making me see a psychologist. The problem is that I’m very happy with the way I look now and I’m afraid of getting overweight again. I just can’t understand why they’re making such a big deal out of it.

 

 

Dear

I hate myself and just want to die. My life has no interest. I’m not good at anything and it seems as if everything I do is wrong. I’ve tried to change things but I can’t. I’m always depressed Nothing matters to me anymore. I’ve lost the will to live as I can’t stand this hell I’m in any longer. I don’t even know why I feel this way. I’ve tried talking to someone but no-one understands me. In the past I’ve tried to kill myself several times but without success. Maybe I wasn’t serious enough about it. But this time I really think I’ll do it. Please help me before it’s too late.
