My dad started dating this woman (let's call her M) while he was stilled married to my mom. After my mom found out about the affair, they understandably got a divorce. The woman my dad is with seems like she is a complete golddigger. I found out my dad was having an affair when I found explicit emails between him and this woman. In the emails, she asked him personal questions about how much he makes, his networth etc., and proceeded to give him an entire list of potential Christmas gifts he could give her. I was shocked that they had only been dating for a few months and she was asking him to buy her super high end brands like Gucci and Dolce and Gabanna. Fast forward to now--> he's in a tightly wound relationship with this woman and he barely sees my siblings and I. I'm hurt by it. She blocked my siblings and I on all social media platforms and seems to have no interest in getting to know us despite her and my dad being together for nearly five years. My brother went to their lavish apartment and she has pictures of her kids decked out all over and found one single picture of my siblings and I shoved in a drawer. My dad pays for everything for her and her kids. It hurts because he doesn't help contribute financially at all to help my siblings and I get through our college education because he says he doesn't have the money yet he completely showers his girlfriend with stuff (e.g., first class tickets to Mexico). I'm hurt because it seems like she wants my dad to erase us. 

I fell for my guy friend (John) at the beginning of high school. I look back now and I realize it was obvious he was interested in me all four years. He was there for me through it all; my parents divorce, my first breakup, the death of a loved one. Each year of school, I knew he liked me. He tried asking me out various times but the timing was never right. Either I was interested in another guy or was in a relationship with someone. I never thought I was good enough for John because he was gorgeous and popular. Basically everything I thought I wasn't. I couldn't understand why he would be interested in someone like me. It's weird. I'm on my break for college (my freshmen year) and I can't stop thinking about him. I realize how wrong I was to never try dating him. How do I stop this feeling? I keep replaying memories of us over and over again. Am I too late? Could his feelings still be there? Why am I feeling like this?

My roommate and I are not particularly close. In fact, we simply don't get along. She leaves the light on all hours of the night. Even when I ask if she could turn it off, she won't. I've gone to my RA multiple times because honestly the sleep deprivation is making me feel stressed and making it incredibly difficult to wake up for my early morning classes. Well before Thanksgiving break, she agreed that she would keep the light off, however, I woke up to the light being on at four in the ******* morning. She was writing some major paper. I calmly told her to turn it off or go to the common room. She did neither. The next morning, she apologized for it and said that since she has no papers left to write, she won't need to stay up so late. I CALMLY suggested switching roommates with a mutual friend of ours who's roommate is very similar to mine. My roommate lost it, she cut me off and said that I would not be able to leave without her consent and refused to discuss the topic any further. She's still angry with me for suggesting the topic and it's been a week since we've seen each other. What do I do?

I had to partners with my crush today in class and I sweat so much. The room was really warm and I was wearing a heavier shirt because it's cold outside. But yea my upper lip was sweating and my forehead. I'm so embarrassed. I'm not sure if he noticed. He just made eye contact and didn't seem to linger on the areas of concern. I'M SO EMBARRASSED. I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. Do you think he cared? Do you think he thinks I'm gross? Any advice would be great. Thank you

Ok so I'm a freshman in college and was in the dining hall with my friend. We were just chatting and I kept glancing over at the TV which had a football game displayed on it. It was coincidentally located directly behind this guy and his friends. I was just watching the game, completely oblivious to the fact that this guy was sitting there. Well I noticed his two guy friends turning around and staring at me. Then I focused my eyes and realized who this guy was and that we know each other from class and that his friends were staring at me and kind of smirking? This is probably because this guy thought I was staring at him. I kept glancing over at the TV and glancing away but he probably thought it was me glancing away because I'm shy and have feelings for him or something. I'm so embarrassed. Do you think he thinks I like him or something? Any feedback would be great!

I'm 16 and 130 pounds at 5'2. I want to try and get down to 105-110 before the summer. This is my plan.

Breakfast: Oatmeal with raisins and cinnamon

Midmorning Snack: Strawberries and peaches

Lunch: gluten free wrap filled with tofurkey , lettuce, olives, and mustard

Afternoon snack: Four carrots with 2 tbs of humnus

Dinner: Grilled veggies like broccoli and spinach with veggie sausage

11 cups of water

Exercise: Yoga + lots of cardio (dancing, running, etc)

I also go to a huge high school, so during the day I'm walking around a lot.

So how does this sound? I'm a recently new vegan btw so I take all the right vitamins. So anyway what do you think? Will I be able to lose all the weight following this diet?

im a mean evil bad ugly person. how can i change when ive been so evil my whole life. when im nice, it's like I'm acting fake. I want to change. I hate the awful person that I've become. What do I do?

I know for a fact that I failed my math test. I absolutely did not know how to solve for these five problems. It was a 100 points. I'm a freshmen and I'm in honors geometry. It's been really hard for me to understand, plus my teacher isn't the best teacher in the world. He gets really angry when you don't do well and I'm so scared about facing him tomorrow. I can't calm down. What should I do?!

I'm a freshmen in high school and last Saturday we had our winter formal. I ended up slow dancing with one of my guy friends. We were talking and laughing while doing it, it was fun. It didn't mean anything more than just friends. Well ever since that dance he's been acting so weird. He used to text me all the time, now he doesn't write back to me. At school, he tends to hardly say anything to me, and when he does, he acts shy. Yet he told all of his guy friends at lunch about us slow dancing. Then it seems that when I'm with other boys, he always standing right there, ignoring me. This is not like him. Before the dance, he teased me, and talked to me all the time. He used to like to say that he was my boyfriend and he was constantly saying he's in love with me. He was just joking when he said that. He talks to everyone else and not me. I'm hurt. I don't know what I did wrong. Why do you think he is acting this way? As soon as the slow dance song was over, he acted completely different towards me. We've hardly spoken since the dance.

I'm a freshmen in high school. We just had our winter formal. A slow dance song came on and I asked my guy friend if he'd like to dance. It was fun, we were joking and laughing. Well that was on Saturday. Today he was bragging to his friends about how he slow danced with me. People keep coming up to me and asking if I really did slow dance with him. To me it didn't mean anything more than just friends dancing. Why is he telling all his guy friends?

My little brother is 5'2 and nearly 200 pounds. He absolutely refuses to take care of himself. He gets made fun of at school. He gets really upset and resorts to taking a bag of chips and coke to his room and playing video games. He does not exercise or watch how many calories he is eating. My mom is overweight as well and she has taught her bad habits to him. Diabetes runs in our family. All my cousins have it, my two uncles, and my grandfather even died from it. Then on my dad's side of the family, heart attacks are a major cause of death. My other grandfather died from a massive heart attack when he was in his 50s. My mom does everything for my little brother and allows him to eat and do whatever he wants. He hates himself and he wont try to do anything that might make him feel better. I used to be 165 pounds at 5'1 but I lost the weight and feel good now. Health is so very important to me. I don't want to see my little brother go through the same as my cousins or grandfather. Every time I try to say something he and my entire family gang up on me and yell at me for it. Now i've resorted to saying nothing about it. What should I do?

Last night was our high school dance. My guy friend and I have been pretty good friends since the beginning of the year. He and SNAPchat, text, and talk a lot. He's hilarious so I love hanging out with him. Well last night, a slow song came on, and he sat down in a chair by himself. I felt awkward so I asked him if he wanted to dance. Well we were dancing and at first it was awkward. Then we started talking and laughing. It was fun. After that he went quiet and would look at me and then look away. He couldn't even look me in the eye. After the slow dance was over, we didn't talk for the rest of the night. He kept his distance from me the entire night but I kept catching him looking at me. He hasn't texted me or snapchatted me. What did I do wrong?

I'm sixteen years old...and 6 weeks pregnant. I honestly don't know what I want to do with the baby. My boyfriend just moved to Canada and I don't know if it's worth telling him since we had broken up. My parents are completely against abortions and quite frankly I am too. Then keeping it would come with many challenges but giving it up would too. My head is just spinning. I can't believe this happened to me. I am in all honors classes and play sports at a top private school. I had big plans to get into Stanford. Now it's all gone. Please don't say anything along the lines of "you should've used protection" because I'm fully aware of that. Please just give me some advice. Anything to put me at ease. Thank you.

I'm a freshmen in high school and I have my midterms starting this Friday. I made study guides for all of subjects. Well I have a lot to study and I'm getting so stressed just thinking about it. What should I do? I really want to get a good grade on these exams! Help! Thank you.

I'm 15 and 5'2, 135 pounds. I want to be 105-110 pounds. My mom and I share the same height and bone structure. She was 105 pounds and looked great. I used to be 160 pounds but I was able to lose that weight and get down to 115 pounds. But then I kind of went into a "depression" and was constantly binging on fatty foods. Thus I gained 20 pounds. Now I feel like crap and just want to lose this weight. I've been trying to lose it for 2 years now. Will this diet plan allow me to reach my goal weight by June? I want to feel really good about myself this summer. Here it is.

Breakfast: Oatmeal

Snack:
 An apple or handful of nuts.

Summer Vegetable Salad with tofu

Dinner:

steamed vegetables (broccoli) + tofu and berries

Pilates everyday or yoga, walking for 30 mins everyday, running around with my dogs. My high school is big so I'll be walking around a lot anyway everyday and I have physical education everyday. I'm also doing Shawn T's workout videos. How long will it take for me to lose this weight?

I'm 16 years old and 5'2. I got my period when I was ten years old. Yup I was an early bloomer! Well my friends say that I'm still going to grow but I'm not sure. I heard that you stop growing two years after you start your period and it's been six years now. My mom is 5'4 and my dad is 5'11. They're not giants but average height. My dad's side of the family is pretty tall though, all in the six foot range. My mom's side of the family is pretty short, like 5'3 and under. What do you think? Will I continue growing or am I done? Thanks!
