I'm seventeen and this is my first job. I told her going in that I would like to work three to four days a week, but she's giving me anywhere from five to seven, with 36-40 hours a week (and I usually stay past when my shift is meant to end so it's really more like 38-42 hours a week). I really don't need all of the money and I'm so busy at this point that I don't even have time to apply for colleges or start learning to drive. I know I should be grateful that I even have a job but it's just burning me out and I'm at the point where I would rather not have a job than work this much. She also publicly humiliates me by telling me that my pants are too tight, I don't know how to work a register, or yelling at me that I need to help the line cooks while taking orders on headset and front register. Also, all of the other cashiers my age work no more than 20 hours a week.

My stepdad's mom was Italian, and every time we have white rice he talks about how he'll only eat it with rice and sugar. We can't figure out where this came from. Obviously it's not extremely important but I'm curious

First of all, they're for first aid (I prefer tampons over gauze because it's not as easy to bleed through.) So what brand would be the cheapest for me to buy?

I have natural blonde hair, and I recently dyed it a purple/red color. Except it all washed right out after the first time I shampooed my hair, which was four days after dying it. Please help... I really hate my natural color... I honestly feel like I'm going to cry.

There are little blue pills that sit in a vial

day after day, they lie to me.

For months, I’ve fallen victim to the claim

and still there is nothing

but the strawberry waterfalls

gracing the pale white planes

and I, living in recluse.

I am given crepe paper wings

but held down by the weight of my own mind.

My cries for help are held back

by the muzzle of society,

parents, and doctors

telling me that I have the power to save myself

if only I tried harder.

Still, I must scream

in a vain attempt

to find someone

who will love me in spite of it all.

One of my friends, NOT my boyfriend is turning fifteen. He said that I'm not allowed to spend money on him, but he's like my little brother so of course I'm going to make him something. He loves my baking so I'm going to make him either brownies or cookies, but then I also want to make him something that will actually last. I was thinking that I would make him a sock puppy (possibly one that's also a phone case so that it's not completely useless) since he is constantly complaining about how his mom is allergic to fur so he can't get a dog. Is that cheesy or sweet? Also, as I said before, he's like my brother so PLEASE no perverted answers.

Alright so I'm pretty much the "team mom" for my group of friends, so, despite a lot of stuff I've been through (I won't get too into it) I try to act strong for everyone else. There's one friend, though, who I show weakness around because, obviously, I can't be strong forever... But I feel like I've failed by showing weakness and I think maybe it would be best to just stop talking to her...

Also, I'm only sixteen and (obviously) still live with my parents, so would I still get the effect if I only "dieted" for two meals and then ate dinner? I'm a recovering anorexic so obviously my mom would NEVER let me go on a diet.

I'm fifteen, have long medium blonde hair (about 17 inches, but I'm getting it cut down to 14), icy blue eyes, and pale skin with warm undertones.

For the past year or so, I've been in the rut of alternating TWO makeup looks... Yes, two

If I want a look that less dramatic, I use a rosegold color on my inner eye, and an espresso color on my outer lid. For more drama, I use the same rosegold in the same spot, but then use a coral on the outer lid and a little liquid liner.

Why? I read somewhere that rosegold makes my eye color pop.... Every single thing I read, every palette I lok at, and every video tutorial says the same thing: blue eyes? well then you better find your favorite gold eyeshadow.

Well here's the thing... I'm SICK of wearing just gold... I want more variety, so what else looks good?

I'm fifteen years old now, but I've had my period since I was about eleven. I got anorexia a while back and stopped having periods, but now I'm having them again. Then I got my cervical cancer vaccine and skipped two months. Beginning of this year I joined Colorguard and got on the same cycle as the girls on the team... The thing is, I used to have really really really light periods, and I've lost weight but not a ton recently... Now my periods are heavier... Is this normal to fluctuate when I get my period this much even after almost four years of having it?

My highschool cafeteria was out of the green tea that I usually drink with my lunch, so instead I decided to settle for a raspberry Flavorsplash Aquafina water.... It tasted like strawberry jello, something that I haven't eaten since becoming a vegetarian back in 7th grade, and I am now infatuated with this lovely beverage. So begs the question, where, if anywhere, can I buy oodles of it? I'm not talking about the little six packs that they sell at the store... I'm talking about like 24-32 bottles per package.

Okay, firstly I'm NOT vegan, so don't be rude about my asking if you're one of those trolls who likes to poke fun at vegans.

I have recently been diagnosed with lactose intolerance, and I don't eat meat or carbohydrates. This has left me little more to eat than, well, bananas is about it. I don't have a ton of time in the mornings or I would eat egss, but I need things that I can just grab and go.

My Japanese club is doing a cosplay party for Halloween, and I'm not too sure who I should cosplay as. I have yellow-y blonde hair, glasses, plae skin, blue eyes, and a relatively average looking hourglass figure. Feel free to email me if you need pictures for whatever reason. Anyways, I'm not too sure who I can cosplay as. I really wanted to do Grell Sutcliffe, but my hips are definitely too large for me to cosplay as him. I'm not super willing or able to get contacts, so any character who doesn't have glasses is not going to work either. I can do a pretty good Fem!Ronald Knox cosplay, but I'm not sure if it's super recognizable... Help?

I recently began having flashbacks about my uncle (who was much like a father to me, as my dad died when I was young) sexually abusing me. It went on for nearly four years, starting after my dad's death in 2006 and progressing until my uncle's subsequent death in late 2010. I've only told two close friends, and I have no plan to tell my family members any time soon, as they would more than likely think I'm lying. Also, if anyone knows of any MODERN (means 1990's or newer) songs about sexual abuse that would be stellar.

Pretty self explanatory, no?

Also, how to decorate?

I love anime, but I currently watch things that are a bit too "heavy" for my already depressed mind. :p

Basically I want something funny, without too many "feels" thrown in the mix. I currently watch Hetalia, Elfin Lied, Kuroshitsuji, Fullmetal, and Fairy Tails.

The first picture is of me... should I cut it, dye it, etc?

Okay so firstly, I'm a vegetarian and we heal slower so yay. -.- Basically, how do I continue hanging out with my friends and such even though I'm on crutches, and how do I dress with a split/brace thing and make my crutches look cute?

I have already been diagnosed with EDNOS, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, and depression. I am currently on antidepressants, which do help a little; however, I've felt a bit of a need for things to be "perfect" lately. I feel like I can't be on a couch or bed unless it has been cleaned within a few hours of when I sit down, and basically everything feels gross and dirty. I also have extreme impulses, such as going outside at ungodly hours of the night and such. Additionally, I have an overwhelming urge to clean EVERYTHING. Certain colors cannot touch each other, either (ie: two blue plates CANNOT, under any circumstance, touch each other in the cabinet). I also have worries about fires, burglary, murder, etc. I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just a bit of advice. Also, how do I stress these concerns to my psychiatrist?
