I live with two men- my grandpa and dad. I don't know why but they go around shirtless sometimes and I feel uncomfortable. I want to ask them why but they might get offended at my questions. Their chests are so hairy and they have big bellies and yikes. Let's say I'm sitting down, eating dinner, and ALL OF SUDDEN A WILD TERRAIN OF CHEST HAIR IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYEBALLS. Um, so how can I approach them lightly and not offend them?

My grandparents just moved in my one bedroom apartment. That means six of us are living here. My parents, my sister, my grandparents, and I all share this small home. I have to sleep in the living room with my sister and my parents and grandparents sleep in the bedroom. There is no space for all there luggage and many of their things are scattered on the sofa because there is NO SPACE. There is also only ONE BATHROOM and sharing it is a hassle. I also have no privacy and cannot focus on my homework. I can't stay over at my friends' houses because I don't have any. I don't want to stay at the library either to do my homework because it takes a long time to do. As a high schooler I also am not allowed to go outside for long because it's not "safe" for me. What are some ways for me to have privacy?

I'm at that stage where "no one understands me" or "I'm just a teenager" so no one listens to me. I don't really have any close friends, just acquaintances. I don't know how to start conversations. I'm lonely most of the time. I don't have anyone to sit with at lunch. I'm usually the person who has to initiate the conversation with someone. The conversation turns out to be awkward because the other person is uncomfortable. So I try to avoid conversations in order to avoid feeling awkward. My grades are dropping even though I'm trying so hard. and doing all my homework. I don't get entertained as easily as I used to. Only books and movies entertain me. I'm always bored, sad, and lonely. I don't know why I'm like this. My life is falling apart but I'm trying to pick it up. How can I improve myself? It's really difficult for me to change. I feel so lost and out of place. I feel horrible and I've felt this way since the sixth grade. I'm in the 9th grade now which stresses me out. How can I get rid this feeling?

I'm a 14 years old girl but I think I like girls. I only have crushes on guys that are not celebrities which is strange. But I do think female celebrities are attractive. I don't have crushes on girls that I know personally. Who am I?? :/

OH GOSH I GOT AN 87 IN BOTH GEOMETRY AND LIVING ENVIRONMENT (BIOLOGY)!!! I had low 90s in the rest of my classes which is not good either!!! My total average was 92 for the first marking period but I want to do better! Right now it's the 2nd marking period and my grades are HORRIBLE! I have 70 in geometry right now because I failed the first test (65) so I'm very disappointed. I also have 89's in two classes. I'm not doing well :( I don't know how to improve! I always do my homework and participate in class but I still have horrible test grades! I also took the regents in eighth grade and got a 77 in algebra and 89 in earth science. I don't know if I should retake the tests or not. Both my regents grades were horrible! I want to have good grades (95 and above) but I don't know how to get to that level. I really REALLY want to get into a good college or university. I feel like I screwed up the rest of my life. So how can I improve my final grades?

I am not trying to be arrogant or conceited. Society says to love yourself but when I do say I love myself, they say to stop being vain. I only feel a little embarrassed about my body but other than that I'm content with myself. I stare at myself in the mirror and actually admire what I see. Is that bad??

I've been looking for this song my whole life omg. I only remember these song lyrics: "you can s----" it sounded like that and after that it was like she was mumbling. It was a lady singing and she was like whispering and singing really soft. It sounded really inspirational and it sounds like an older song.

I'm a ninth grader and I will be retaking the shsat. I'm currently taking geometry so will there be any geometry on the shsat or not? I did not prep for it but I did last year. I know it will be much harder and there will be a variety of topics in the exam but I am hoping to be somewhat prepared. I just want a score that is high enough for Bronx Science. I could have gone to Tech but I chose a regular school last year.

-What will be on the NINTH grade SHSAT?

-How hard is it on a scale of 1 to 10 compared to last year?

This nightmare happened like 5 years ago and it happened again! I don't remember much about it but it was so realistic! How did that happen??

I'm 14 years old so I obviously am still in school. However I can't focus on schoolwork and homework because my home is so messy and filthy!! My mom is always cooking, my sister doesn't care, and my dad has work and complains a lot! This leaves my to clean everything! There is paperwork and mail all over my dining table! There is food everywhere, clothes all over the bedroom, and trash all over the sofa! I have successfully cleaned my house at times but it takes less than a day to make it gross and filthy AGAIN!! Like seriously even the bathroom is messy!! T_T And have I mentioned that cockroaches have taken over and mice are coming back again?! I asked my dad to get some exterminator and he said he'll get one but he never has! It's so embarrassing when people come over because it's soooooo messy and bugs are everywhere. I don't know what to dooo!! T_T T_T T_T

I've watched some dramas but not a lot! I guess I'm kind of bored with them at the moment. I've watched: It Started With A Kiss (and the sequel TKA ;D), Playful Kiss (this was boring tbh), Boys Over Flowers (loved it but I hate love triangles), Hana Yori Dango (same with this but I liked it more), Secret Garden (my favorite drama of all time), Skip Beat! (I was disappointed by the ending and I didn't like how Siwon and Donghae's voices were dubbed), Master's Sun (I liked it but I stopped watching it for some reason), My Love from the Star (I loved this one so much! The chemistry between the lead actors was amazing!), Orange Marmalade ( I was kind of bored with it and I didn't like the historical part), Fated to Love You (I liked the Taiwanese version more), and that's all I remember. I can't really watch dramas with the same lead actors idk why lol.

Aish I swear my mom gives me so much stress! I'm growing a few white hairs and I'm only 13 going on 14! Okay so here's the sitch my mom met this guy on fb named Mahin or something about a year ago. And this is how Mahin types, "Hello bby u r so sweet I wanna mak gud relashun wit u" and my mom falls for it!! Mahin is a Bengali fob from London and I don't know why my mom likes him! His English is horrible! I'm not trying to be nosy but I saw their messages because my SEVEN year old sister showed me! It's crazy how a little girls is aware of an on going affair between a mother and a fob! I was soooo mad when I found out! But I wasn't surprised. I mean she even slept with my paternal cousin! They're not related but that's sick! I haven't acknowledged the affair and neither has my sister but I might! How can I stop the affair??

Hello, um I'm an eighth grader who will be taking the earth science regents and the Algebra 1 regents. I am not ready though! There's a lot of things I do not know. Algebra is a bit easier but earth science gives me chills. I am bad at both anyway. I want to get over a 90 on both regents but doubt that I will score anything near that range :( My algebra regents in on June 17th and earth science is June 19th! I barely have two weeks! How can I study for these exams? Please give me websites or youtube channels that I can learn from! I need helpppp!

Imagine if you were a child in his or her early teens (say about 13 to 14 years) who has a teacher who teaches in your house. This teacher sits close to you (because there is limited space) because he has to. Only you are the teacher are left together... alone. The teacher is religious. The teacher only stays about an hour. However, the teacher leaves you feeling uncomfortable for a VERY long time. Why? Because he repeatedly touches you in strange places. He touches your knee, your head, your hand, and YOUR KNEE. What would you do in this situation?

Assalamualaikum to fellow Muslims. I am a 13 years old girl and my Arabic teacher (religious teacher who helps me with reading the Quran) touches me. Whenever I read out loud and make a mistake he laughs and touches my knee briefly. He can tell I'm uncomfortable. He even touched my hand and put his on top of mine. I get very uncomfortable when he touches me. He is such a perv ughh. He does the same thing with my 7 years old sister (he teaches both of us at the same time). Today my sister and I talked about his behavior and she even admitted that she felt uncomfortable when he does that. We told our mom and she said to confront him. I'm too scared to confront him though! Is he violating me by touching me and how can I confront him? OMG I DUNNO WHAT TO DO!! I HATE SEEING HIM :(

I'm a 13 years old girl and last night I dreamed that I lost my virginity! I didn't exactly "lose my virginity" though. There was guy but I'm not sure who he was but I think it was my crush and we were going to some room. We were talking about bad stuff and we were about to do it. Then I woke up. I noticed that I felt a little sexual and actually wanted to do it. I don't want to do it because I know the consequences and I'm waiting till marriage. Why am I so sexual and horny all the time? And it feels like that my body wants sex but my mind is telling me not to... :(
