I am a 14-year-old male, and I don't have that many friends. Ever since I was little, I used to talk to myself to clarify things or to say how I feel. I don't respond back I just talk. I know it’s not normal, but it does improve my memory. Is this a kind of mental problem? Should I seek help?

For some reason I am not happy at school. I was bullied last year by a group of girls who used to be my friends and now most of them have left. I still have the feeling that I'm being left out of things, and that they don't really like me. What can I do? I don't want to confront them and I've told my mom, but it hasn't helped.

I have two best friends. Recently I’ve started feeling like I’m the odd one out and that two’s company, three’s a crowd. I don't want to lose my friends. How do I stop this?

Some kids make fun of me because I have acne and it really hurts my feelings. What can I do to make the kids stop making fun of me?

I met this guy over AIM (aol instant messenger). I think I like him. Is it OK to meet him?

I have a mixed racial background (half white, half Hispanic). I am often asked what race I am. Because I'm not a "straight" anything I always reply that I'm mixed. I go to a mostly white school and most of the white people don't understand what it feels like. What should I do to change their opinion?

I am deaf and I asked my deaf friends if they wanted to go to the mall with me. They didn’t want to go because they are scared of being humiliated because they are deaf. What should I do to encourage them?

Last summer, my best friend starting hanging out with a girl who started telling stories. I don’t think these stories are true (dogs telling her that we have to go on a mission to save the world, portals opening,etc.), but at first I joined in because it was entertaining. Then my best friend started believing her. I’m worried about them and what they will try to do next. I tried to talk to my friend about it, but she’s on one of her “missions.” Am I wrong to try stopping her from doing this and should I stop worrying about them?

I am a 17-year-old girl and I have been made fun of by other kids at school almost all my life. People talk about me everywhere I go. They say stuff like "she's a trans," "Frankenstein!” and “she looks like a dude." Some people even think I’m gay. All these words really hurt me and have made my confidence drop. I am tired of dealing with all of this. What should I do?

I've been a loner for two years now and I'm getting sick of it, but I'm so used to being a loner that it's really hard to change. What can I do?

I'm usually quiet at school, but at home I'm not. I don’t know how to act like myself because I'm confused with the personality I have at school around my classmates and the different personality I have at home. What can I do?

I am a 16-year-old female and school stresses me out. I am constantly being teased with the name “Troll” because of the way my hair used to be. I’ve talked to my mom and she has tried to help, but her suggestion wouldn’t work. I want to drop out of school because of being teased, not having many friends and being overweight. I have tried counseling and it doesn't feel like it is helping. What can I do?

I go to an all girls’ school, and I'm afraid I don’t have enough guy friends to be considered a "normal" teen. I’m very well liked at my school, but at other schools they call us lesbians. My mom says they are "jealous" because it’s such a wonderful school. What should I do to not feel so self-conscience about this?

I'm deaf and go to a school with people who can hear. I don't have friends there. I think it's because they don't know how to talk to me. What should I do to make some friends?

I'm a 14-year-old boy, and have problems meeting new people. However, I’m really involved in local politics. This has made it easy for me give speeches and get along with older people. I just want to know what to do to meet people my own age. I am even afraid to speak to people that sit next to me in class and because of this, I act conceited and arrogant. What should I do?

I have this friend at school. She’s one of my good friends but lately she has been acting strange. When I talked to her the other day, she snapped at me and said, "Do I look like I care?" She was being all weird on me. She has told me before she thought I was a bad friend, but she still thinks I am her best friend. I am so confused.

I like this guy. He told me he thought I was very attractive and sweet. I told him that I liked him. He didn't say that he liked me, but he didn't say he didn’t like me either. He told me he was too emotionally unstable to go out with anyone right now. Do you think he likes me? And if so, what can I do to make him realize that I am better than his ex girlfriend?

I have a friend who is supposed to be my "best" she's not that cool though. I also have these others friends who are nice and are supposed to be the "coolest.” We all hang out in the same group. Whenever I start talking to my "best” about my other friends, she'll tell me something that they said about me like, "they say you get pimples, because you don't wash your face enough." I don't even have pimples. I've found out that everything she's said isn't true. And it really hurts my feelings that she can just say that without a care. Could someone give me advice on how to tell if she's lying or if she's jealous and how to fix it.

I love this guy at school, I met him this year and we've become friends. I don't think he likes me, but I love him! I'm in 12th Grade so it's not a crush. How do I get him to like me? Also, my best friend likes this guy but I think he’s interested in me? What should I do? I don't like him like that.

I'm a 14-year-old female and was on the track team in 6th grade and the beginning of 8th. I quit and I don't exactly know why. When my friends who are on the team talk about the meets, I wish I was still on the team. However, at the same time I don't like it because there's too much pressure to win. When I win a race, though, it really makes me feel good. I also like the popularity of being on the team. I can't decide whether I like track or not. I'm so confused so please give me some advice!

There is this new girl in school and she lives next door to me. When she moved here, I was the only one nice to her. Now she's telling lies about me and turning all my friends against me. This is really stressing me out. What should I do?

Why do teenagers change to suit their friends?

I was a friend with this girl for nine years. Then she got a boyfriend and didn't want to hang around with me anymore. This happened about a year ago and we've been fighting ever since. I've tried everything! I want to be her friend again, but I don't know what else I can do.

I’m 13 years old. This school year I had over seven relationships with a boy who hurt and ran over me and dumped me every time. I also lost my virginity to him. I think about him everyday and ask my best friend about him. I still like him but I don’t want go back with him because I know he is still the same. What should I do to get over him?

I don't have that many friends. I don't know why peole don't like me. What should I do to keep friends?

A group of girls in my class have suddenly ganged-up against me because they have become friends with a girl that doesn't like me. Now they criticize everything I do, and it's so irritating. What do I do?

I'm having a problem with a guy friend. He is a super guy and we were really good friends in the beginning of the year and now we have drifted apart. He ignores me and when I talk to him about it, he apologizes, but then does the same thing the next day. What do I do?

These two girls at my school hate each other BUT they both like me. How can I be friends with them separately? Our school is not that big and everyone seems to know what everyone else is doing. Help!
