Sorry I didn't mean for it to be this long, I guess a lot of it is just venting but words of support would be nice.

I'm 15. I'm not that great at making friends. All the friends that I have that I'm close with and get along with really well don't go to my school, plus they're all crazy. I know that sounds harsh and I love them but I always have to worry because they're always getting arrested and doing crazy **** like cocaine and whatnot. I smoke and drink sometimes but it's completely different, I'm always "the responsible one" (aka the boring one). At school the only friends I made are totally different, they're nice people and all but it's hard to relate to them cause they're so sheltered. To be honest I don't really tell them about all the crazy stuff on the weekends (not that they've ever asked) cause they're kind of judgmental about that sort of stuff.

A lot of people at my school think I'm extremely straight-edge I guess cause of the people I hang out with and the fact that I'm quiet and do well in school. I spend a lot of time studying, stressed out either worrying about school or my friends. Getting good grades doesn't even make me happy. The only reason I continue working so hard in school is cause it's the only thing I'm good for.

I'm pretty self conscious nowadays and I just want to be carefree like I used to, before I had to start visiting my friends in mental hospitals, promises broken about cocaine, have friends be barely conscious cause they haven't eaten for too long, and wallow all the time about how no guy would ever want to f*ck me.

I'm a sophomore I need a new backpack, basically everyone I know has a jansport so I don't really want one.

BQ: Where's your backpack from?

My friend got admitted into a mental hospital. We're both 15. I'm going to visit her and they have this policy saying "all children visiting must be accompanied by an adult at all times". I won't even get to have any privacy to talk to her cause my mom will have to be there. Isn't it a little bit unreasonable to say that anyone under 18 is a child and that they constantly have to be watched by an adult? I would understand this for maybe someone who was 11, or if the person they were visiting were considered violent...but isn't this just kind of excessive?

If you were to create some sort of symbol or something, what would it look like?

Mine is "In three words I can sum up everything I've ever learned about life: It Goes On" -Robert Frost

Seems like right now Brandy Melville is the "cool" place to shop right now, and I see a lot of girls wearing their clothes all the time. Also, if any of you watch make up/fashion videos on youtube, they get like all their clothes from Brandy Melville.

I, personally, really dislike the store because of it's one-size-fits-all policy (their clothes are actually tiny) and how overpriced it is. It seems like the only people who can buy their clothes are skinny rich girls. A lot of their clothes are actually cute but I won't ever shop their because of the message they send to teenage girls (unless you're thin and have money get out).

For example, if you even kept grounding them, taking away their phone, and even took them to a therapist, and they just kept finding ways to do drugs and alcohol. Would you continue grounding them?

So my friend has been bulimic, skipping meals, obsessively excersising for a while now and now it's escalating, she's doing it more than usual and she's really scaring me. Every time I try to talk to her she won't listen she completely brushes me off. She isn't even overweight, she's just more on the curvier side really but she is really determined to be stick-thin. I've considered telling her mom but her and her mom have a really rocky relationship, and honestly I think her mother will just be really angry and take away a lot of her freedom, which I don't think is good. At this point I have no idea what to do. I asked her why she's so afraid of not being skinny and she just told me "I don't know, it's just bad. It's hard to explain." she won't open up and she's my best friend.

Mine:

Fake Probems- Songs for Teenagers

Givers- Saw You First

Night Beds- Ramona

Beirut- Elephant Gun

(these are very good songs and I recommend them)

I have finals coming up soon. I know I shouldn't be on yahoo answers right now but I figure if I'm not gonna be able to focus on studying right now I should at least spend time learning how to improve my study habits. How do you motivate yourself, what are some like inspirational songs or what are some tips about studying? How do you keep yourself from getting distracted?

if you tried weed? Lets say you're a minor and the doctor asks if you tried weed. Is there some sort of confidentiality law protecting you from them telling your parents?

Today I was eating lunch with my friends and then some random guy came up to us and told us there was someone taking pictures of us. We looked up and there was this random dude in sunglasses pretending he wasn't just taking pictures of us. We just stared him down for a minute and then he got uncomfortable and rushed away. Should I have gone up to him and confronted him? Maybe told him that was wrong? I feel like just staring him down is sort of dumb. I kind of regret not going up to him and getting mad. Would that have been unsafe?

I'm not super pretty or super ugly. But all my friends are prettier than me. It sucks because guys are always pretending they're friends with me just so they can get to my friends. Also guys I'm into always end up hooking up with my friends. I never really tell my friends about any of my crushes because I know they never work out anyways and also guys like my friends and I hate getting into an awkward situation where she likes him back but doesn't wanna be a crappy friend.

I'm never the first person you notice when you walk into a room. I don't excel in anything. I get good grades but basically fail in sports, singing, acting, drawing, etc. The only thing that I feel like I'm really good at is I'm a really good supportive friend, I've always got my friend's backs. But that really just benefits them.

I feel so unimportant it's driven me to feeling suicidal. Help?

I have only smoked weed twice in my life. My friend wants to do edibles with me. She's going to buy a sandwich with cannabis butter and jam on it, and then we're going to split it in half. At first it sounded really fun but now I'm kinda nervous. Will I be able to handle an edible even though I've only been high twice? We're planning to do it around 11:30am. She said it takes 2 or 3 hours to kick in. And then she said it will make us high for 3 hours. My curfew is like 7:30. Will I still be high by then? Oh, and we're going to be high out in public at stores and stuff. In my town weed isn't legal but it's basically part of our culture but I'm still nervous about being high in public.

I haven't seen my friend in a really long time and I don't want to cancel on her because things have been really bad between her and I lately and we just started being friends again. She's really excited to do it, too, and I feel guilty cancelling last minute.

All my friends who have done it say edibles only last a few hours but then I googled it and I asked my sister. Google said I would be super duper duper high. My sister said I could be high for over 6 hours. 6 hours is too much cause I've got a curfew.

There's this guy at my school. All my friends adore him, but I really hate him. He harasses me so much. It's mostly just talking, like he'll ask me about what kind of underwear I'm wearing or he'll ask me if he can do sexual things to me. Once he ran up and hugged me really tightly and I couldn't stand it and I just kept smacking him in the face with my binder so he stopped. Once he poked me in the butt. This stuff happens on a daily basis and I can't stand it. Sometimes he harasses me in non sexual ways, he'll steal my homework to copy or he'll throw things at me.

My friends all love him and think he's hilarious. I know how to stand up for myself but he just never takes it seriously. I've called him every name in the book, I've smacked him with things, tried ignoring him, tried being nice, I've done everything.

The thing I haven't done is told a teacher. At my school though they never do anything about it. I don't want to tell my mom cause she's depressed and was sexually abused in the past and it'll just make her feel like she's failed to protect me and stuff. Plus, everyone would start gossiping and since most people like him they'll take his side and say I'm overreacting. And I just started at this school I can't handle having everyone gossip about me.

I don't understand why he would act like this. Like he'll act horribly then he'll tell me I'm pretty. If he likes me I don't give a crap I hate him.

We're all 14 btw.

I know this sounds stupid but I don't want to tell an adult because I don't want to show weakness. And I have smacked him, for the record. I've told my friends how much I hate him. People witness his behavior towards me everyday, teachers included, and no one does anything.

And my school's got like 4000 people, this stuff happens a lot the principal's got more important things to deal with. I could tell my counselor but I hate the sh*t out of him cause of a bad experience with him. I'll go to an adult last resort, I want to handle it myself first.
