Bullying
Tired of getting pushed around.

A girl in school keeps threatening to beat me up, and she has a lot of friends that gang up on me in the halls. They push me, trip me. I don't want to seem like a jerk and tell on them, and I don't think the school would do anything anyway. Any ideas? Read more, make a comment or ask a question.

Dating and Sex
Boyfriend trouble

The guy I'm dating puts me down in front of our friends, acting like its funny—and he keeps saying he doesn't have to put up with me. Things like that. My best friend says I should drop him. Do you think he’ll grow up? Read more, make a comment or ask a question.

Serious about suicide? My girlfriend has said she would kill herself if we broke up. I don't know if she is serious or if I should do something. Read more, make a comment or ask a question.

Problems at home
I keep getting grounded for stupid stuff. I'm grounded all the time and never get to hang out with my friends. I think my dad’s just trying to torture me. He’s got no life, and he doesn’t want me to have any life either. Read more, make a comment or ask a question.
Grief and loss
My mother has cancer. No one wants to talk about it, and I am afraid to ask any questions. I think she is dying. My older sister told me to shut up when I tried to ask her what she knew. She's been mean to me ever since. How do I find out what's happening? Should I call my mom's doctor? Read more, make a comment or ask a question.
My dad died 6 months ago. Since then I have felt sad and alone. Every time I try to talk to my mom about it she starts crying, and I feel like I am just making her feel worse. Read more, make a comment or ask a question.
Problems among friends
My best friend has stopped talking to me She has a couple of new friends that she talks to all the time, and has them stay over her house on the weekends. Sometimes she tells me she is grounded and can't do anything, but then I find out that she had a party or went to the movies. I don't know what her problem is, but it's really rude. Do you think I should tell her off, or what? Read more, make a comment or ask a question.

Who keeps spreading rumors and lies about me? There is a chat room that my friends go to, but there is someone who keeps spreading rumors and lies about me.
