I’ll try to make it sweet and short, I’m in high school, and I absolutely loathe my school. Sometimes I get so sad and depressed about having to wake up and face the day because I know I have to go to school. My 9th grade year wasn’t too great..there were some things about my high school that I didn’t like a lot but I learned to ignore. Those things that I tried my best to ignore were the stereotypes, and often hidden racism people had. And my best friend and I stopped talking, ever since then I’ve felt more alone then ever and find it very hard to make good close friends.

10th grade year it got worse, I started experiencing & seeing these things way more. You see the thing is, I guess my school, the way I would see it, is broken into 3 things, The people who prove stereotypes to be right-then regular trying to do your best at school kids like me-and then the close minded, bigots of the school.

I’m black, but because I don’t “fit” the stereotype of my race, some people try to give me a hard time about it, or some-who are my “friends” make jokes about it, which makes me feel uncomfortable. And its really hard, having to hear people say such rude, racist things sometimes. Or hear people make stereotypical comments. It makes me angry, but at the same time I see why they have such close mindedness because some of these kids all their life lived here, and don’t realize that people in a race are not all the same.

I have never been interested in the area of sex as a young girl. I always just thought I was too shy and prude and never thought it would come into my marriage. When I got married my first experience of sex was not pleasant, being a virgin, it was painful and felt disgusting.

We tried lots of times to help us both enjoy it but for some reason I never could. We ended up talking to some older friends and we thought this would help, but still on trying I have never had any enjoyment out of it, as much as I tried to get into it and let go. I still see it as dirty, or unpleasant and I am not sure if its a mind thing or something wrong physically or both.

I am at my wits end as to what to do as I want to please my husband in this way, but if I were to make the decision on this I would happily never have sex again. Read the rest of this entry »



I am 16 years old and seem to be going through a hard time. I just finished moving a month ago, 8 hours away from my home town. I grew up there, and it became a part of me. Now I’m in a completely different environment and only have myself to adjust.

However, that’s not the issue. My brother is a little older than me and tends to be my mother’s favorite child. He doesn’t put his best foot forward in life and doesn’t try hard enough. He went to college for one year and barely passed, he doesn’t have a job and all he ever does is sit in his room all day on the computer. He doesn’t make an effort to go outside or go job hunting or do anything that the rest of the family would enjoy doing.

I try my best in life. I’m going to get a job shortly. I help my family with chores, I never take advantage of them, I listen to them, respect them, and always make time for them. However, my mom seems to find a better value in my brother. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi there, I’m 16 years old and I’m wondering if you could help me cope with anxiety and stress..I’m the type of girl that likes to get things done in the best manner possible. I plan to work in the ICU as E.R doctor, it’s one of the few goals in my life and I have a lot of reason behind it.

I’m trying to make it in life because so far I’ve only been pushed down..My parents are separated and have been since I was 1 and I feel it is better that way. My mom is one of the most patient people on earth and I’ve learned that from her and my brother. My mom deals with bi-polar disorder and well my brother who is 20 years old is severely handicap with Fragile-X. We’ve lived in the projects all my life and my dad has his own problems so I’ve seen him a couples times in my lifetime.

I’ve always had a tolerance for the constant screaming and abnormal behaviors, but lately I can’t take anymore. How do I make it in life when I have my mother telling me I have to take care of my brother for the rest of my life and that I’m not allowed to go to college elsewhere then where ever he is. As I deal with high school everyone wonders why I make the choices I do. I’m not allowed to take AP classes because I have to clean the house everyday after school from top to bottom and when I did take AP classes I had to drop them because the homework took up too much time and my mom didn’t like it

Along with that I was in line for a Track scholarship but I had to quit to stay at home. I’m the president of 2 clubs but might have to quit those also because they require that I stay after school. I’m just tired of how my mom hurts me, I’m really tired of it.. I know she doesn’t mean it, but I’ve never had anyone here for me. Nobody understand what I go through. When I get straight A’s and I’m invited to a banquet celebrating the greatness of the straight A’s, I’m not allowed to go because it’s regarded as “stupid”..

It just hurts so badly to literally have no one.. Read the rest of this entry »
