I hate being me. What do I do?
I'm 14 years old and I hate being me. I have social anxiety disorder and that's bad enough. But the problem is that I have a dream to be famous. A famous singer would be nice but also a famous anything, like actress. We live in Pennsylvania, so there really aren't any opportunities out there for me. This has been driving me crazy for a year. Just last night I went to a concert for Austin Mahone. I love him and his music. He's a YouTube star if you haven't heard of him. He's about to make it to the big times. I'm a big fan. So after the concert, me and my friends roamed Times Square. I was still pumped about everything. But in the middle of dinner afterwords, my friend started laughing about something. Then I started laughing, then crying. First I thought it was because I was laughing so hard, but then I really started crying. After dinner, I was just crying and crying and crying. I couldn't stop it nor control it. Today has been a pretty bad day for me. I have been sloping in bed all day, completely depressed. At first, all I was thinking was, "Oh I am so sad that I can't be with him" but that wasn't even it. I'm not sad I can't be with him, I'm sad that I'm NOT him. It is also hard for me to sing in front of family and friends. I do write music though. Just please, please help in any way possible. How can I overcome this? Is there someone I can talk to about this kind of stuff? Like to know that my dream is a LITTLE bit possible? It's killing me inside, and it's just getting worse. I can't just live my life being average. I want to be somebody. Thanks.
5 AnswersPerforming Arts9 years agoHow do I overcome this fear?
I'm 14 years old. I love to sing and write songs. I've played one of the songs I wrote on the piano but didn't sing it, and my best friend said she loved it. I'm writing other songs, but I don't feel comfortable singing them and making them when someone else is home with me. My biggest dream in the whole world is to become a famous singer so people can hear my songs, but I know it will NEVER happen, beacause I have a social anxiety disorder that stops me from doing the thngs I love.I know I can't be famous, but someway I want people to hear my music. I thought the feeling of wanting to be somebody would go away in a week or two, but it's been months and it won't go away this time. It's killing me inside, and I don't know what I can do. Any ideas?
1 AnswerPsychology9 years agoShould I ask my mom about a medication? Please answer?
I'm 14 years old, and I have been dealing with social phobia (social anxiety disorder) for a few years. Since we REALIZED (I probably had it before, just never told my mom) that I had it in 6th grade, I've been taking therapy. I feel like it's not enough, and life is just getting worse, and I'm afraid I'm going to do something stupid. How do I ask/convince my mom so that I could take anxiety pills. Do you think I should? I heard that it's not good because it isnt a long term thing, like if you stop useing it, then the disorder will just get worse. I've been keeping a healthy diet and exersize, but that's not even helping me all that much. Any ideas would be fully appreciated!!! Thank you.
3 AnswersMental Health9 years agoPlease help with anxiety? Any ideas?
I enjoy to sing. I already wrote a few songs on my piano. I'm 14 years old, but I have stage fright or something. I've been dealing with an anxiety order for the past few years, so to the rest of the world, I'm just shy. The thing is, I'm embarrased to even sing infront of my mom, though I want people to hear me. Is there something I could do? Like maybe some tricks to help me deal with this anxiety better? And if you do have ideas, do you also have better ways to help me on a regular daily basis? All comments are appreciated!!!
2 AnswersMental Health9 years agoAre guys really what society puts them out to be?
I don't want to offend anyone, but all I read everyday is that guys just want sex. I'm 14 and obviously not ready for anything like that, but when I do get into a serious relationship, do guys want relationships as much as girls? And is all they think about sex true? I'm just confused...

6 AnswersHeart Diseases9 years agoI dont know what to do. Who should I choose, friends or guy?
So there is this guy whos a year older than me (im in 8th grade, hes in 9th) hes kind of a tool, like 3 of my friends fell for him last year and I tried to stay away. But we have been fb chatting for awhile and he has made it clear that he wants to go out with me. he asked me a few times already and I just said idk and we moved on. We were talking for a while today and I think I might like him. But my friends would just shake their heads if we went out. I dont know what do do, because he makes me feel good, but what would they think?

1 AnswerMythology & Folklore9 years agoHow should I politely reject this guy?
Soo im 13, almost 14 and this guy is almost 15. We texted last year. He started facebooking me again. After we talked randomely he confessed that he likes me a little and thinks im pretty. I told him about my last relationship which ended badly, not becuase I wanted him to know, because I was trying to give him hints that I don't want to go out with him. Well he then suggested friends with benefits, which I said i'm not interested in that. He then said that he might ask me out if we hang because I don't want to be fwb. Sooo I don't know how to politely say no because he's really nice and sweet, I just don't like him like that. Suggestions???
3 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoI hate my life!! Please help :(?
I know this is long. :/ So I'm 13 years old. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for almost 2 years.
It runs in the family.
This year has been a little better, but I am now feeling really down.
Well, I ha(ve/d) 5 best friends. We hung out almost every weekend.
One of them, Zoe, and I have been hanging out every weekend for a long time. Though she has off and on feelings. See, I only have a few other friends beside them and now that me and her are hanging out so much, me and my other friends aren't really that close.
I feel like I always seem to come in second with her because she has SO many friends she can lay back on. I always wonder, I am afraid I'll lose her, but does she feel the same towards me? We didnt hang out last weekend, and Im too sick this weekend. I think shes mad at me for missing 2 days of school ( i have a fever!!) IDK thats just the kind of person she is.
Besides that my home situation isnt that good, my older brother just went to college this year and I miss him sooo much!! and me and my dad havn't been close for months. (divorced) I am also very self concious about my image, I wear expenxive clothes, and if I have a pimple or dry skin, I dont talk to anyone for the whole day. Plus, money is tight, so that just makes it worse. I have feelings like taking pills, or running away. I can't live like this. What can I do to change????? Please
5 AnswersFriends10 years agonew boyfriend??? helppp pleasee?
Me and this guy have been good friends for a while, me, him, and my best friend would always talk and joke around on the bus. now we both admitted we like eachother and im afraid it will be awkward tomorrow. We are in 8th grade. im also really shy and scared what peoples reactions will be at school. please give me some helpful advice. did i make the right choice?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agoDo I like him? Or do I like his resemblance to someone else...?
There is this new guy in our school. We are in 8th grade. He is shy but so am I. I really think we would get along, and hes cute :) But he looks a lot like my 6th grade crush. Everyone in our grade always says that they are twins. I havnt actually talked to this new guy, but he just seems so nice, I really want to. So do you think I just have an interest in him because he looks like my ex crush?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating10 years agoI don't know what to do. Should I run away?!?!?!?
Here's a little backround information. I'm 13 years old. I know thats young, but I don't know what else to do. I have been dealing with depression ever since I was 11. Lately, I have been having suicide thoughts. I found out by my two 'best friends' that our other friend said that if we all got in a fight and split up with our other friends, that they would all have someone or a group of kids, and I would have no one. We went to a football game that night. The whole time they were both talking to different friends and I was just kinda following them. Everyone felt bad for me and it was humiliating. It's not my fault though. I have been dealing with a few anxiety disorders since middle school started (around 11). Whenever we are in public, they try to ignore me and talk to other people (the football game was one example). My 2 'best friends' could not have proven the other girl's thought better.
Ever since school started, I would spend my nights crying and crying. My brother who was my best friend, just went to college and we barely talk. My other older brother and me aren close but both of them have a lot of friends. My parents are divorced, me and my mom fight all the time, my dad is to caught up in his other life to care for or about me. I do see therapy, but it isnt enough to help me lately. And on top of that, school has ben way to stressful lately, and it's only the first week.
I think i should run away, but I dont know where to go. I can't keep this lifestyle up because it's not healthy, and I desperately need a change. Please help me!!!!!!! Thanks

6 AnswersDiet & Fitness10 years agoSmall non-visible painless lump below my belly button?
There is a lump about an inch below my belly button. It has been there awhile. It doesnt hurt and if you looked at it, you couldn't tell it was there. But when I put pressure on it, i can feel it. I can't tell if it is something that I need to be checked out for, or if it's just another part of the body. It is on my left side. What do you think it is? Is it hernia? And if it is, what is hernia? Btw I'm 13 yeasr old.

5 AnswersWeather10 years agoPlease need help?? Don't know what to do?!!?(girl 'down there' problems?!)?
I'm 13 and I thought I had a ye ast infection for a long time. I didnt know what to do so I didnt tell anyone. I have chunky yellow stuff 'down there'. I just googled it and everything. I thought it was a ye ast infection until i noticed something. I have a blue bump on my upper thigh. Is that from 'crabs'?? I never had s*x or even my first kiss yet. Could I have got it from linens or something? And I noticed it wasnt ye ast infection because I wasnt that itchy. And i do have pimple like bumps near around that area to. Is that from bites to? Please serious answers???
Btw, I dont know tht much but I have had my period for over 2 years and they can still be up to 2 weeks late? I dont think that means anything but...

2 AnswersOptical10 years agoHelp? Guy advice and I'm not sure he feels the same way?
Okay so I think i might like my friend. Im 13 years old. He was on my bus last year and we talked a lot. About anything really. I remember when one thing that was starting to get bad happened to me over text (petophile) and he told me he was worried about me but I didnt listen. The petophile later sent bad texts and pictures. It's over now but thats not really what I want to talk about, He's gonna be on my bus this year and I can't wait to tell him he was right :). Also whenever someone gossiped bad about me, he was there to tell me so I wouldn't get hurt. He sent me a chat on fb recently asking what home room i'm in. I don't know why, but I got a feeling that I like him more then a friend. I am comfortable around him and I always feel good. I had this feeling a little last year when we would sit next to eachother on the bus. I am usually reall nervous around guys, but with him its different. I'm not sure if he feels it to :/ Help guys and gals?
