Anonymous: so its kind of a long story. ive known him since 7th grade. we would hang out everyday doing nothing, just talking. he moved to another state this past summer. it was devastating. we kept in contact and talked everyday and i still hadnt gotten over him. i eventually fell in a deep love for him. he told me he loves me too. my friends say that it wont work between us and idk what to do. he's my other half and i dont want to keep him from being happy. do i let him go?

The one thing you don’t want to do is let your friends psych you out of taking this opportunity for love. Try it out, and if it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work. If he’s a true friend, he’ll stick around.

Anonymous: I'm a bisexual chick crushing on a straight chick. I've felt this way for years now. I wanna know that of any of you would think it be practical to tell her? Holding back like this is tearing me apart and I hate hiding this from her. It's just that we're friends and I'm afraid of ruining that bond, y'know?

I’m not sure if you should tell her or not. If you know for sure that she’s straight and that she wouldn’t be okay with you liking her, don’t tell her. If she’s accepting of the homosexual idea, then tell her. It all depends on how she is, and how comfortable you are.

Anonymous: So two years ago I met a boy on the internet and after a while i started falling for him. First i was like "i don't want to break our friendship etc" but ok, i told him after a while. luckily, he liked me too. So we made plans to meet in real. But a few days before we would meet he dished me, he wouldn't meet anymore. i was heartbroken. now, a year later, i still think about him, i miss him. should i tell him? it's not that we 're on speaking terms or something..

When someone is a huge part of your life and they’re suddenly gone, you’re bound to miss them for a long time. It’s normal. But sometimes it’s not the best idea to reconnect. Perhaps send him one message, and if he doesn’t respond, do your best to let it go. You’ll be fine c:

Anonymous: I went to a party&got drunk&ended up having sex with 2 guys for my 1st time. My bestfriend wasnt a virgin&kept telling me that it was no big deal if i did it sex at the party&she would be looking after me anyway. She didnt. The 2nd guy didn't wear a condom&i nearly fell pregnant. People were touching me&taking photos&videos. I started cutting after then it got worse. Im seeing a therapist but still feel not right&especially when im alone. I cant tell anyone though. It'll hurt them. What do i do?

If you’re seeing a therapist, talk to him or her about everything you’re feeling. That’s really what’s best for you. They’ll be able to give you all the help you need c:

Anonymous: Hi.. Umm.. I believe i could have depression.. I have bad suicidal thoughts and they are getting worse.. I self harm and have an eating disorder.. And to add to that i have a "boyfriend" who is threating my life and im scared i really am.. I really dont know what to do..

Hello, dear. I’ll start by saying that suicide is never the answer.

You seem to be referring to a lot of very tough ordeals, so I think it’s best if you talk to a trusted adult (parent, family member, adult friend, teacher, guidance counselor, therapist, etc.) about what you’re feeling and what’s going on. Do not be afraid to speak to this person. I’m sure if you tell them everything you’re dealing with, they’ll help you in any way possible.

Good luck, dear. And remember that your life is worthy of being lived, and you are worthy of life.

Anonymous: I really really like this kid, but he likes someone else, and he told me so. He likes one of my best friends who told me she thinks he's so strange, and that she'd never go out with him. I obviously won't tell him that; it's rude. I want him to give me a chance, but he won't. I'm the last person guys think about, but I really do like him, and I don't know what to do...

Perhaps it’s best if you just wait it out, and he loses interest in the girl, then maybe he will like you. Past that, there’s really not much else to do. You can’t make someone return feelings, as I said in the last question. Good luck!

Anonymous: There's this boy that Ive been going to school with for 7 years. Since the second week of school, I've had a crush on him. He's one of the few people that has seen me cry and has tried to make me feel better. I've seen him cry, and we're pretty close. After about 2 years of knowing/liking him, I told him. He didn't return the feelings. He tells me about girls that he likes, and it breaks my heart. I want him to be happy, but I also want him to return my feelings.

You can’t force someone to return feelings, you know? It’s really hard—believe me, I know. I’ve been through something like this before. But you have to try your best to move on.

Hello Everybody,

I am sorry to say that I am leaving for good. This has too many triggers for me, and I can’t help you guys if I can’t help myself first. Which is why after spring break, I’m going to sit down with my parents and tell them everything. If you need need to talk to me, I am always here for you all.

Anonymous: 1- So I've been talking with this one boy for quite some time now, our relationship has really progressed over the year. We never used to talk, but when we started, it was really deep personal stuff about each other. Secrets, insecurities, things we'd never ever say to other people. He said he was always there for me, and I said the same to him. Lately though, we don't really text or talk that much about these things. Our texts are kind of dull conversations.
