I'm going into high school & I'm really scared? I really need advice, please help!?
aw, thats really a lot.(and this is to others as well who commented saying they were feeling the same way) im going to be a junior this year, and when i started my freshman year i had just moved away so i started highschool knowing absolutely nobody! and im really quiet so i dont make friends super fast, the first few days were soo hard, but they got bettter! highschool is soo much differennt than middle school, but i promise its not as horrible as you think. when i was a freshman nobody ever thought i was one, when they would call for freshman orientations during classes i had with juniors and seniors nobody ever believed i was actually one, and its all about the way you act, if you act like zoo animals it is obvious you are a freshman, ive been very mature for my age, so thats why i was never thought to be a freshman, also the way you carry yourself if you act scared and timid, then people will take advantage of that! but dont act like you own the school either because upper classman will get annoyed that you think you run the place. im alot like you are, schools my first priority and guys are my last. but have fun as well, dont miss out on the friday night football games and homecoming. get involved! its a way to make friends, and then when you look back at your highschool years you wont wish it was different! but always keep your school first! im sure you will be fine, and remember you are not the only one going in scared, the majority of freshman are nervous! oh&&always stay true to who you are! and dont change for anybody!
Changing my major in junior year/having a breakdown/need advice?
Your academic adviser will not think you're a "loser". They are your adviser, not a six year old. Academic advisers are paid to help students in situations like yours. You are not the first and you will not be the last student to change their major during junior year. If you hate graphic design, then change it. I've met people who have changed their major in their junior year. I've also met people that made drastic major changes (from chemical engineering to graphic design, from electrical engineering to English, from dance education to biochemistry, etc). It was hard, but once they changed, they were much happier. This change in major might mean an extra year at school with some summer courses. But if you love nutrition, then that extra year might be worth it. Your graphic design classes probably fulfill a few general education requirements, so they won't go to a complete waste. For now, set up an appointment with your adviser immediately. Find out if any nutrition classes you need are still open so that you can get started right away. If not, figure out what other classes you need for graduation so that you don't spend this semester in classes you hate. Write up a degree plan so that you know how quickly you can earn your degree.
I want to get a sex change but I'm scared of telling people?
I'm a 17 year old male. All my life I have wanted to be a girl, every time I have the house to myself I dress up in my sisters clothes and put on makeup, I even pretend I am a girl on chat rooms sometimes. It's not just a fetish, it actually feels right. Like I've been put into the wrong body. I don't feel like a guy at all, and when I'm pretending to be a girl I feel really happy. The problem is, I don't think I could face telling people. I couldn't even tell a doctor, and it's driving me crazy. Believe it or not, I've actually managed to hide it rather well, but on the inside it's making me miserable. I get really excited about the idea, then right away start feeling sick as I think about my friends, family and everybody else finding out. I just wish I could go to an island somewhere, have it done and then move somewhere else where nobody knows me. But I know that's silly. What should I do? Telling family really isn't much of an option, I live with my dad and his family are pretty old fashioned. I really need help :[
I'm 30, depressed, unemployed, have no fun in life and basically can't stop thinking life will be over soon. Since 30 is really a grown up age - what is your best advice about what to do with my life?
I am sorry if this sounds simple. But sitting here at nearly 60, still coping with the depression I had before I was a teen I suggest this:The most important thing you can do is work to expand your social network. Find the friends who can tolerate someone that has ‘down’ days or weeks or months. There are people that are okay if you aren’t cheerful. But, you do have something to offer!I don’t know much about you. But I do know that one of the biggest problems a depressed person can have is loneliness. It means that what few interests you have are more likely to be shared with some who you know and trust.I speak from some experience. I wish I had been able to keep up my social network over the past few decades. Even though I have friends I have had for 50+ years with many I have known for 30+ years, many have moved on in life and I am only in touch via social media. Other health issues other than the depression and anxiety that I suffer were a handicap. I couldn’t keep getting out to be with my friends and I couldn’t keep making new friends.HOWEVER! I am trying new things. I joined a writer’s group. I made 5 good friends through it. They are also invaluable when it comes to proofreading my writing.It can be done! Even at nearly 60.When I was 30, I think I wish someone would have pushed me a bit more to maintaining my social networks.If you have those social networks, then being able to build trade and employment networks will become second nature to you. You will be able to stretch what skills you have and make use of them. You will know how to walk up to a potential employer and say, “Hello. Are you hiring?” Potentially followed up with, “Do you know of anyone that might be hiring?”Good luck! Coping with long term depression isn’t easy, but it is possible. It is easier with the help of your friends!
