I am 15 turning 16 next month and I get VERY annoyed when the adults of today's society treat me like I don't know anything. Intellect wise I am very smart and I have been told I am very good with managing my friend's problems and helping them through things. However, when I'm out in public, the adults treat me like I am a child. On the way to school I went to go on the bus that I usually do (public city bus) and I got rejected because I was a school child and may 'take up the public's room'. Also on another bus I was told I had to give up my seat for a business woman because I was a school child. Don't get me wrong, I am aware it is common curtesy but I had to pick up my school bag (which weighed a lot) and my cooking equipment and additional school books. I suffer with spinal problems too so I shouldn't be carrying all this heavy equipment. So I went to place my things down in the bag holder but someone's suitcase was there.

Also, my mother always speaks to me as if I don't know anything. She says it's because I'm a child and that I don't know what the 'real world' is like. From everything I see, read and know about, I am rather aware of how much of a shock the world is and what problems will be there which I should know about. But she always says 'You're just a child, you don't know anything so keep your mouth shut and stay out of things.' My mother is used to high achievement and does not have to deal with kids that struggle in school.

In the bus que the other day I joined the back and waited in line for 3 minutes until the bus came. When people were boarding I moved along with the line when suddenly a tall, bulky russian man called 'Excuse me ma'am' from behind. Along with the que I turned around to see who he was calling. 'Excuse me, you pushed in.' He called and pointed at me. I was shocked and said 'Who, me?'. He replied with 'Yes you, come on, out you go.' and pulled/escorted me out of the que. I was waiting like any other passenger. 'You are a child, you should allow other adults first'. He said, after I was pulled out of the que. The thing is, if I let them all first then I wouldn't of got on any bus as it was rush hour and there were so many adults.

Another thing is when I wait in bus lines I get to the front and a woman with her buggy/child pushes in front. I was told by the woman that I should let her in first as I am only a child. This really annoyed me.

I know, most things happen on a bus because I take so many daily in order to get to school. Even sometimes adults make remarks about my age when I'm not in uniform, telling me what to do all the time. It's okay until an extent where it winds me up just because I'm a 'kid'. How do I deal with them treating me as if I do not have a life/brain myself?

Additionally, I am a Virgo incase this has any relation to my behaviour. Thank you :)

Just to clarify right now, I am not fishing for compliments WHAT SO EVER. I need advice for my mental state.

So I must say there isn't really a lot wrong with me. I'm wealthy, loved, get good grades etc. But somehow i'm not happy with how I am. I am 15 and for some reason hate a lot about myself. (I am aware there are less fortunate than me and I do what I can to help them - charity etc.) I broke my nose when I was 6 and it left an ugly dorsal hump and bruise that hasn't gone away. I developed scheuermann's kyphosis which I'm working to help get better but all I hear is 'you need surgery to fix it'.

I wish I was a model (don't we all!). I mean I have the height, legs and possibly personality (don't want to up myself here :P ) but I feel like my nose and back are sabotaging every time I try for an agency. They all say 'you dont have the look'. My friends have perfect faces. The cute nose, the petite figures, the dainty and girly ways. But i'm the tall, deformed one. What do I do? Why do I feel like this over something that shouldn't be an issue? :(

For picture purposes here is my instagram (only way I can put pics on) :)

So I broke my nose when I was 6 and now I'm 15 and got this bug ugly hump! Can I get rid of it without surgery at all?

I broke my nose when I was 6, now i'm 15. How can I get rid of this bruise which has been here all these years?

My boyfriend and I have been going out for just over a year now. He has already told me that I am the one he wants to marry and live with forever. He is quiet and so shy; I am bubbly and loud. I knew when I first saw him that I really liked him and it taken me ages to get him to go out with me! It was all good for the first 8 months but then suddenly something changed.

One day I woke up and I felt 'meh' whenever he'd hug me. No normal rush or happiness that i'd usually get. It all seemed... different. I usually talk to a lot of guys and I know there is one who likes me. His name is Lewis. We get along well and his friends have told me that he REALLY likes me. I decided to become close friends with him so he wouldn't feel rejected and ignored. I can't ever talk about my boyfriend (Matthew) in front of him, as I don't want to make it awkward. I do not have feelings back for him, just as a normal friend (but not friendzoned).

Matthew really loves me. REALLY. As in he is investing in properties to get money for our future and has told me that it would ruin his life if I was to go. He isn't stopping me from going, he said 'If you want to try out other boys, that's fine. I'll always be here for you'. He is innocent and so sweet. However my feelings, for no reason, have died down for him. I have no reason to leave him or go anywhere, it just all feels... bland now. Boring...

As I mentioned, many of my friends are boys and another boy, the funny one in out class (Zach) has become close to me. He is energetic, sweet and great to get along with. Lately I feel as if I have adopted feelings for him, which makes me feel unfaithful to Matthew. I really am starting to like him and i'm scared that Matthew will be hurt by this.

Problem is, I don't want to break up with him. Mainly because I cannot handle all the pain and having to admit that I'm not his anymore. Seeing as he's innocent, I don't want to be in the arms of another boy before his eyes because I know that would crush him. Help me :( what do I do? Is it teenage love? Am I mean for feeling like this? <3

Hey, I'm 15 with Kyphoscoliosis. Please don't say to get a brace or surgery because I am awaiting the results from my X-Ray. Living with kyphosis is hard because it looks ugly when all the other girls are beautiful. Some people tell me my back is hunched and I can't help it because I have the condition. It looks pretty ugly and I want to know if there's any way I can get rid of it or hide it so people won't see.

My mum says she'd sign me up for modelling because I got good measurements and I really would like to do it, but I'm scared my back would stop me and i'd never get accepted. Any help? Thank you <3

I am 15 with Kyphoscoliosis. I would like to know if kyphosis can be cured without surgery. Don't worry about braces and surgery, I just had an xray and i'm waiting on the results. Is there anything to make the kyphosis go down a little? Living with it is hard and if there is no cure without surgery, don't worry! Thank you :)

So I would really like to start making youtube videos but I just can't open the video correctly. No matter how I start I just feel awkward. I tried things like 'Hi everyone!' like some of the other girls but the way I do it just looks and feels awkward. Some people sound like they are shouting - probably from their camera (MacBarbie07) and some open well so they sound natural (Zoella) but no matter how hard I try the lighting, the camera and the words just sound horrible. I would like to do a haul for Lush and the way the girls do them on the video sounds as if they are just talking normally. They're all pretty and have lovely voices but am I good enough to not get a lot of hate and to make people happy? Thank you :)

The other day I attended the ARIA Awards and Taylor Swift was playing (She's my favourite). But I saw a section for VIPs and celebrities. I was just wondering what jobs do the VIPs have to get them so close to the stage? I'm not talking about the Mosh Pit, that was a different section but i'm 15 and really want to know for my future/anytime now how you can possibly get there. Is it inheritance or do these people have really well paying jobs which makes their social status high. Thank you so much :)
