?

I'm part of a big group of school friends that is falling apart. There are smaller friendship circles within the group but I feel like I don't really belong in any of them and that I don't have a best friend who I have a close relationship with and can confide in, and this makes me really paranoid that my friends actually find me really annoying and/or boring.

I come home from school every day and look back on all the conversations I've had and get really paranoid as I analyse every detail and think that they all hate me.

I'd call myself an affectionate person but lately I've been holding back from interactions with my friends as I want to respect boundaries but I think I do it too much but can't stop holding back.

What can I do about this? It's starting to interfere with my friendships and happiness.

I'm 15, in year 10, and tomorrow I have to start writing an essay in class. It's for my English Lit GCSE and counts as 25% of the final grade so I'm bloody terrified. Plus, I'm expected to get an A - A* grade so I'm under a lot of pressure to do well.

However, it's 11pm and I've only planned out 2 paragraphs and haven't made a dent in the actual planning (the contolled assessment is 4 hours long).

The question is about how shakespeare and orwell show weaknesses through napoleon and macbeth and my teacher has been off sick blah blah blah so I'm confused and screwed.

I'm crying and panicking and I have literally no idea what to write or do. Where do I begin planning? Do I go down the historical context route? Dramatic irony, language, character relationships?

Also how do I GET A GRIP on myself? I know I'm blowing this out of proportion but I really need help because this essay is tomorrow and could really bring my grade down if I fluff it up.

Thanks

I've recently taken up singing was wondering how high people can sing on average (what is the highest individual note, or what's the highest song you can sing etc)

thanks

So in November I'm seeing Panic! At the Disco in concert and we got standing tickets

I'm going with some friends and I'm 5'3 weighing about 50kg (110 lbs ish)

I was wondering where the best place to stand is because I don't want to get too squashed or anything but I want to have a really good time!

thanks

We're both girls and have been friends for almost 4 years and I get really aroused when I'm around her. I find myself fantasizing about us in bed and being together, however I don't know if she likes me.

She's often trying to touch me. Not sexually but like putting her head on my shoulder, running her toe down my leg, stroking my arm. When I went over to her place she got a plush toy out, made it walk towards me and said in a cutesy voice 'he loooves you' and made a kissing noise while she was looking at me. A couple of times she has come up behind me and put her arms round my waist and her head on my shoulder.

I really like her. Does she like me and if she does how do we go about things?

When I was younger, I had 2 best friends. We used to experiment with ourselves together. I did this with each friend separately.

We played this game where one of us was the mum and the other was the dad and we'd dry hump each other, almost scissoring, and make out during this game pretending to be these characters

I was always really turned on by this.

I have also started to become really turned on by girls recently, too, though as well as guys.

Am I bi? I've never been with anyone apart from these friends although I feel attracted to guys and girls

Can anyone remember that tv show, squiddles? I just suddenly felt really nostalgic about it and how it was my favourite show as a kid!

Did anyone else watch it?

I really fancy my friend.

So we've been really close friends for over 3 years, and now I like her (like I want to be her girlfriend). Whenever she touches me I get little flutters in my stomach and she actually really turns me on, too.

I dream about her and me and I've had fantasies about us both.

Recently I've found myself just staring into her eyes and sometime's I'm the one who looks away first. I think about her a lot. She sometimes plays with my hair and pokes me etc. and has used her toe to run it along my lower leg.

We hug a lot because we're really close friends and when I was comforting her about something I put my head on her neck and it was lovely.

I've only felt like this toward guys before (never been with a girl), and I often feel myself going weak at the knees when we're together, and the thing is I don't know if she feels the same or if she even likes girls. She's quite innocent, too, so I'm not sure if she even knows how much I like her.

What do you think? Does she like me like I like her or is she being friendly/innocent?

Thanks :)

I have plain white walls and a light beige carpet, but my room just seems too girly to me. It's just that the soft furnisinhgs and things I have on my chest of drawers etc clutter the place up and make it look like a little kid's room even when I'm a teenager.

Also, I do really like some of the things I have on display in my room for example patterned tins and containers, but I want to get rid of the little-kid look and make it more mature, but I don't want to hurt my mum's feelings by saying I don't want them anymore, especially seeing as we don't have any money to spare.

How do I go about changing my room to make it less girly and childlike?

any answers appreciated, thanks :)

When I masturbate, I try to touch as much of my body as I can, including my breasts (I'm a 34 B). However, I have noticed that my nipples have never been sensitive, so much so that when I touch them I can barely feel a thing, and my areolas are practically numb!

i was wondering if there is a reason why this happens (apart from it just being my anatomy) and if there are any ways i can make them more sensitive because I would love to suck on or play with my own nipples whilst I'm pleasuring myself?

Thanks, any answers appreciated x

ok, so, my mum has met a new guy and they've had something going on for a few years now even though they haven't exactly told 'the kids' yet. I really don't think they're going to break up, so I think one day he may become my stapdad (let's call him Jim).

The only problem is, I have very strong feelings for Jim's sister's son (so his nephew, and possible future step-cousin) who we'll call Bob, and he likes me back.

We also have a solid friendship and I wouldn't want to ruin it, plus there's the issue of privacy because Bob's cousins and my brother look up to him so are always around him and we don't have much privacy.

Should we go ahead with it? Please tell me what you think!

Thanks :)

I've never been very confident in expressing what I like and dislike, or expressing myself in style etc. because I have always felt that people are judging me. For example, I have a younger brother who always tells me I can't sing and has done since I was younger, even though he's never properly heard me sing. He's told me my thighs are disgusting and that I'm ugly. This doesn't help with my body confidence because I go to an all girls school which is really b1tchy. He has mocked me all my life and made fun of me if I have expressed that I like something, which really puts me down and as a result I feel like I have lost the ability to freely talk to people aboutr many things.

My parents don't live together and neither have any money. My mum is always saying that things are 'weird' or strange and it feels like she's making out that if I like something new, different or not to her liking, she'll call it weird and put on this voice, almost like a lisp, as if I'm going to react really badly or hit her which I would never do. (I did when I was about 3 but I had no idea what I was doing because my parents were the only ones bringing me up.)

It feels like she is constantly judging me whatever I do, which is why I feel like I can't express anything. While my friends tell their mothers a lot of stuff, I'm in my room watching YouTubers my mum doesn't know about because if I tell her she or my brother will judge me even if they're respected and have a lot of subscribers etc. Furthermore, I never play music out loud because whatever I do I feel like they're judging me.

If I get even slightly angry at my mother, she will react really badly and act as if I have punched her or murdered an animal or something, then I won't be able to communicate my true feelings in fear of her judging me further, taking me on a guilt trip or she will shout at me for wrongly accusing her of something. To me, it feels as though she's never really been there to guide me through school work or life in general because she always has something to say about what I do or accuses me.

Away from family, at school I used to have a really tight group of friends, but now we've been together a few years it feels like we're drifting apart. There are about 8 of us, so I'm not a 'loner' as you might call it. The only problem with this is that we have all become very separate since the beginning of this school year. 2 of my friends, lets call them A and B (both have a lot of money), have been best friends since they were 3, and I became close with A when I was 10 because she moved schools. Another 2 friends, C and D, have been family friends for years. In Year 7, we all became the 'nerdy' group, and now we had A, B, C, D, me, and other girls who we didn't know before who we'll call E, F and G. I became best friends with A and B , especially B, but we never really spent much time together outside of school because their parents are quite picky abot that kind of thing.

Since September, G has started getting close with B and A, which isn't a problem, apart from the fact that she is constantly putting me down and making me feel stupid or mean if I attempt to express my opinion about something I'm not happy with, because I'm not moaning but trying to get my opinion out there, but G makes this hard.

A is always being strange nowadays, like if I mention something to do with periods or puberty or anything (which I think it's ok to be open about, because it happens to everyone!!) she'll judge me and try to make me feel dirty because even though she's nearly a year older than me she has not begun her period and she's been sheltered away from anything about sex ed.

A has also been critiscising B, and A, B and G have been doing things together like group work after school, which forces me to cancel long-standing plans.

I feel like my social skills have gone downhill since G has been doing this to me, and whereas I used to be more confident, she has made me feel inferior and depressed. I often cry myself to sleep because all this (what feels like slight rejection) is just too much for me to handle on top of the stress of exams and school work and I feel like I can't talk to people, make new friends and that I'll be forever alone. Because B and G have become closer, I can't express how I feel about G to friend B as I think she will think less of me if I say how G has treated me negatively.

How can I cope and why do I feel like everyone is judging me?

I just need a shoulder to cry on and some guidance because I feel completely lost and I just don't want to do this anymore. I work hard at school, but this year I have felt like giving up. I can't take the strain of everything anymore.

I'm terrified of failing in life and the only emotion I'm really feeling is sadness.
