?

I used to be quite confident and loud, but now I fumble over my words even(well, especially) in front of my friends.

I can't stop blushing, no matter what. I can hold eye contact but only for a few seconds and then i'm back to darting my eyes all over the place. I tend to laugh nervously a lot so whenever i'm talking, a lot of the words will be muffled by my (really bad) laugh.To make matters worse, whenever I laugh I tend to almost THROW my head down, just jerking it so that i'm looking at the floor. when I walk, I have no idea what to do with my hands, they seem to just...hang there. and I don't have pockets in my school uniform either, so I tend to fold my arms 24/7 and I end up looking 'moody'.

i'm not even paranoid, though, except for with my arms. I generally don't care what people think of me; the only reason i'm so weird with my arms is because a lot of people have pointed out to me that I walk funny. I don't know where all of this shyness has come from. I can hardly talk to boys now, i'm very antisocial-I don't go outside much other than walking to school- and I always come out wiith stupid things to say.

whatever the reason, I just want to be more confident in terms of conversation. how do I stop my face burning, and what should I do with my arms when I walk? swinging them just looks weird when I do it.

many thanks.

I know that he has a bad life. He has told me a lot about his constant suicidal thoughts. And it's bad enough that he cuts. And please, don't be one of those people that say 'tell an adult, he needs help' because it isn't that simple. btw, I am 14 and so is he.

he sent me this:

reasons i should die-

Nobody will miss me.

My family won't have a failure relative.

My parents don't have to pretend to like me.

My brother will get what he wants.

My girlfriend can get a better guy.

The 'friend' I'm bad to deserves better.

But most of all...

Amara (me) won't have to pretend to care about me.

I don't know what to do to convince him out of suicide. I have just sent him 'I care.'

I have no idea what to say. Please, somebody give me something to say.

It isn't ME that smells of mcDonalds, because I took a shower and coated myself in bodyspray. But When I was in lesson, when I was walking home and in my room it smelt of McDonald's. Any explanations for this? I am probably just being weird, but I'd just like to know why McDonalds smell is in my nose. I haven't eaten it today or anything.

I am 13, and I don't really like my own generation. They all seem to be obsessed with swag and 1Direction etc.

So I just wanted to know YOUR thoughts on my generation.

And sorry, I didn't know what category to put it in

I want to know what parents and people like me think of us. Just out of curiosity.

I have no idea what to write about for a recount.

It has to be a recount of 'an important day', but I can only think of my Grandfather's funeral. I think it's too sad to write about for homework.

I can either write it about myself or I can make it up.

Would any of you be able to come up with something I can write about? It has to be realistic. It would be good if you share your own experiences that I cound write a recount on, if possible.

It can't be TOO depressing :P

Thanks

Find the value of V when f=5 and u=8 in the formula:

1/f= 1/u + 1/v

Can somebody please explain this easier to me? I don't understand what you need to do.

What time do you wake up and do everything?

What makeup do you put on (if any)?

Do you pack your bag the night before or on the morning?

How do you manipulate your uniform (if you have it) to look good?

Sorry, I didn't know what category to put this in.

My friend created a hamachi server on my computer and I have no idea how to activate it, i.e. enable myself to go on it and friends.

I made my friend cry the other day over chat because she has bad sleep problems. they get VERY bad, and she usually asks me for help.

this time, i wrote back to her, 'I don't care. I am expressing my opinion so don't get all personal with me. I DO NOT CARE.'

I know this is bad, and I don't really feel guilt at all. People ask me for help and I do what they say and then ONE DAY I just crack andd say I don't care, that they can go and sort it out.

Nobody ever used to care about me, and now I self harm to get all of the emotion out, because whenever I used to try and tell somebody about any problems I had, I used to get called a drama queen, or a stupid little girl. But the problems I had really did matter. when my parents split up, nobody helped me with that. when my grandad died, nobody really helped with my feelings. so now i feel like a robot. I think that there is some sort of illusion here for me that I SHOULDN'T care when other people are sad. I have just stopped caring. I frequently get called a 'robot'' or 'heartless' and I'm sick of it. How can I stop being this way and stop pushing people away from me?

I know a self-harmer who says he is depressed. I googled it and know the SYMPTOMS that you might be depressed, but WHAT IS IT? Like, why do you get it? If anyone has any personal experience I would like to know what thoughts go through their head, etc.

I'm doing a project on Leonardo Da Vinci, and I've used the phrases 'important person' 'significant person' and 'influental person' WAY too much. I've Googled it but informal phrases come up like 'big cheese' and I can't write something like that!

I mean NATURALLY hot/cold things. So for example, liquid nitrogen, ice etc for cold, and fire for hot.

i can't have suggestions such as cooked chicken, because it isnt naturally hot.

I was at school, and this boy I know walked up to me and showed me the scars on his arms. then he got a pair of scissors and cut his arm right in front of me. I feel really sick now. He was smiing while he did it, and I asked him why he did it and he said he didn't know. He once told me that his psychiatrist said he shouldn't be near people because he could hurt them, and I didn't think he was serious. But it appears he carries a VERY sharp pair of scissors and a knife around with him. he showed me in his rucksack.

I'm not a person he's best friends with. He's a socially awkward boy, doesn't really talk to people much... but once he started hanging around by me, and I said hi, and he talked to me a bit. But it is very freaky now, because he keeps appearing next to me everywhere, with his smile that looks a bit on the 'I will hurt you' side.

I am not even sure what I am asking here- should I stay away from him? if so how? or should I still be friends with him, what? because he acts VERY WEIRD.

I don't have sleeping problems, just I take ages to get to sleep, about 1 1/2 hours, and i go to bed late anyway. anyone got any tips on what to do to relax and stuff before bed??

thanks.

It takes me about 3 hours to get to bed without some sort of routine before it.

so far, i have:

wash and cleanse face, brush teeth.

listen to calm music

drink warm milk

read a bit of my book.

this is a chance for you to let go of some anger! use it on me!

i have read all of my books, and i'm on my computer too much, my ipod is at my dad's house, what can i do??

it's a crap day outside and my friends never go out anyway :(

i have a 15 year old brother if there's anything to do with him apart from annoy him lol :)

i'm 13 by the way, and yeah, i'm a spoiled little kid.
