I am 13, pregnant, and Keeping my baby! Need advice?
Hi, Im Sandie. I recently found out i was pregnant (Im 13) and yesterday I told my parents with my boyfriend(16). After talking for a good 3 hours we decided I should keep my baby if that's what I wanted. Now I am happy about being aloud to keep my baby and so is my boyfriend. We are both against abortion and didn't think we could do an adoption. So now I have a few questions about my pregnancy. 1. My boyfriend and his parents want him to be around as much as possible during the pregnancy and well my boyfriend wants me to ask my parents if he could move into one of the guest rooms(we have two) into our house until a few weeks after the baby is born. I don't think they will want this but he insists i ask. So I told him I want to wait for them to adjust to the news before asking. So how long should i wait to ask?(I am 8 weeks today) 2. Is there anyway to help with this morning sickness?! I am puking up my guts all hours of the day. :(
I'm 13...do I need therapy?
*hugs* You have to tell an adult you trust ASAP. They will help you get help.
I am 27 years old male and i feel broken, lonely and miserable all time. Could anyone please help?
I have recently written an answer to a question similar to this. Also, be sure to look at the comments below it as well: Angela Graham's answer to Why do I feel like there is something empty in my life, as if it was meant for someone to be there for me but isn't? - CommentsIf I can give you any advice, it’s to not seek companionship. See, you can’t be with someone unless you’re okay with being on your own. The idea of being able to rely on somebody for almost everything seems romantic and beautiful, but in reality, it’s a nightmare. It’s an extremely co-dependent relationship that will end in divorce.Another crucial thing to know is to be able to differentiate what you want from what you need. You might want a shoulder to cry on, but introspection might be what you need to do.Imagine every person is a building. You, Rohit, had a bad foundation, so when you built your house, the ceiling fell on top of you. You feel lost and broken. That the world is savage.Look for the origins of these negative feelings. Understand the circumstances completely, as the solution is often embedded in the problem’s understanding. Maybe it’s a bad childhood, or a traumatic experience from the past, rather than the present circumstances.Don’t compare yourself with your peers. You’ll walk at your own pace, but for now, take a break, some time to introspect. Discover yourself again. Explore each and every crevice and corner of your building. Understanding it all will make you feel much less lost and confused as you do now.I’m 13 years old, female, and I am pretty lonely as well. But we both will get through it.Be well, Rohit.Cheers
I'm 13 and having a deep crush makes me feel miserable. I cry every day, he doesn't like me. I want to get away from this feeling. What to do?
Learn from your experience. You can control your emotions. You can resist letting your emotions take your mental state over. You let your feelings for this person go too far before knowing whether they would be responded to. Now you should be busy with other friends and activities. Get involved in something you enjoy doing, and see that tomorrow is another day.
I'm turning 13 tomorrow. Do you have any advice as I turn into a teenager?
My own daughter turns 13 next month. This is what I would want someone to tell her:You are beautiful. Frizzy hair, braces, glasses, big feet. Yeah, I know you probably don’t feel beautiful most days. But you are beautiful. Inside and out.Believe in yourself. On the days when you feel awkward, stupid, and unpopular, try to have faith that while it feels incredibly painful, those feelings are a normal part of being a teenager and they will pass. I believe in you. EVERY DAY.Mistakes feel huge, but most don’t really matter. OK, ok, pregnancy matters. STDs matter. Don’t do those. But failing a Spanish quiz? Makes no difference in your life. I failed half of high school and ended up with a PhD, a great career, and two fabulous daughters. Love matters. Love yourself, and surround yourself with people who love you.Respect yourself. A lot of the advice people will give you (don’t smoke, don’t vape, don’t have sex) are about SELF-RESPECT. Respect your body. Respect your future self. Respect your true self. You deserve respect, but you are ultimately responsible for making sure you get the respect you deserve.Always remember that you are loved. No matter how big your feet are and what mistakes you make, remember there are those of us who consider your presence in our lives to be an enormous blessing.Enjoy the teen-age years!

How should I cut myself? I am 13 and have limited options. I’m open to burning also.
You shouldn’t cut yourself. You shouldn’t burn yourself. If you feel like causing yourself pain you should put a rubber band around your wrist and snap it against your skin, hold an icecube in your hand until it melts, read the Huffington Post, punch a pillow, annoy a platypus, or watch an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.I’d love to give you advice on how to avoid scarring that could completely destroy your future employment prospects if you do decide to cut yourself anyway, and explain how to avoid accidentally killing yourself in the process, how to avoid causing potentially debilitating infections and other negative effects, but if I do this answer will be collapsed for encouraging self harm.Because apparently if we all just remind people that they can cause minor irritation to themselves with a rubber band nobody will ever self-harm again, and acknowledging that they might do so anyway and attempting to equip them with the knowledge to do so as safely as possible is tantamount to encouragement.
I'm 13 and I'm depressed. What should I do?
As someone who's been struggling with depression for years, my best advice is simple, but the only thing that I've found that really works: Find something that makes you happy, something that you truly care about and take a lot of joy in doing. I'm 15 years old, and I've struggled with chronic depression since I was 11. It's something that runs in my family and that circumstances have made worse, and I know exactly how you feel.Coming from someone who still has to deal with it, believe me when I say that knowing others are there for you doesn't always help, and that's something that I've learned through experience. The only person who can make you happy is you, yourself. So find what makes you happy... everybody, and I mean everybody, has something out there for them. Spend time with your friends, watch funny videos, play video games, take some time for yourself... do anything to keep your mind busy, and try to make yourself laugh. I know that depression is one of the most painful things to deal with, especially when you feel alone in dealing with it... but just know that you have the power to make it better.I truly hope that you'll take what I say into consideration, because I know as well as you do that it seems like a hopeless situation, even though that's simply not true.Take care, pal.
Im 13 and i think i have a yeast infection???? please help im worried.?
It's okay! Every girl gets one in their life. They are usually from sweating. Like maybe you played a sport and didn't shower right away, so you got one. Or maybe as silly as it sounds, your pants/shorts were too tight. Whatever the reason, they are normal and I never have heard of anyone getting a disease from one. Has it really been itching and burning since July? If it has it probably has went away and came back maybe a few times. Don't be embarrassed to ask your mom! Your mom probably most definitely has had one before and knows what to do. Try to get monistat or a cream for yeast infections, and try to not eat sugary food for a while. All you have to do is tell her privately. It will be worth it...
