I'm turning 19 in a couple of weeks and i have been through alot. okay so i have been with my current boyfriend for almost 6 years off and on since we were 13 years old it hasnt been the healthiest relationship but we love eachother. so we broke up around june this past summer and we were seperated for about 3 months and he recently found out that the girl he had a one night stand with while we were not together is now pregnant!! i am so devistated. i do not know what to do whether i should stay with him because i love him to death or do i leave him?? as of right now he does not know forsure if this is his child. it breaks my heart everyday that this is happening because weve been together so long and dont have a child together and for him to have a child by someone that he does not like or love or is even interested in is not fair to me. sometimes i wish i had the strength to move on or make a decision. i want to spend the rest of my life with him but how do i learn to deal with this situation.

ya, so im bi and my parents hate gays, so they obviously dont know. i am under pressure from my parents to be "perfect." i am constantly stressed do to this, i even get medical problems from being stressed. because of this, i always feel like a failure and that i am never good enough. for the past few months ive become kind of depressed and have even thought of suicide. i have cut my thighs before(i didnt cut my wrists because i run cross country and i was worried someone might see). i also smoke and am trying to quit. im 13. i was molested by my brother over six years ago and im still dealing with it. so ya, thats me in a nutshell.

I spent all of junior high and high school years struggling with emotional problems. It started when I was about 12. I'm a month away from being 19 and I'm still struggling with so much. Sometimes it feels like I just can't do it anymore. I don't want to do this anymore; I don't want to deal with these people anymore. I was having such a rough day, that when I came home from school yesterday I went to my room and broke down and cried. I'm finishing up at a 2-yr college next month. I still don't know what I want to do or where I'm going to go. I feel so lost.

Where do i begin...?! Ok, I guess you could say i used to be alil out of control, when i was 16 years old i was going out withthis guy that was 21.He was horrible, he smoked meth & i used to run away with him all the time!He would always beat me for whatever reason he could come up with, & it was a sick love I fell in to.MY friends tried to get me to stop & even my parents, but that just pushed me away from everyone even more.After being with him for only 3 months, He had stolen a car beat & forced me inside.I fell asleep & when i had woke up in the morning we were in a t-mobile parking lot with the cops surrounding us holdin guns out & tellin us to get out of the car!I put my seatbelt on & he drove off, into early morning traffic on August 12, 2006.We were going past 90mph & we t-boned a car.Our car slipped & wrapped around a pole, & somewhere in between all that, I had flew thru the windshield.I was life lighted to Memorial Herman Hospital in Houston, Texas.Ever since then things have been different with me & the way I think now about EVERYTHING...

I feel like giving up. I am a senior in a college prep high school and I don't even care about my grades at all anymore. I'm taking four classes, and failing them all. My life used to be based on my future, and now I could really care less. I'm trying to be less apathetic, but it's really hard. My job has become more important than my grades. I feel like everyone is judging every move I make. My parents think I'm still making A's and B's, but I have been making fake report cards for them. I can't do this anymore. I'm planning on going to community college, that is, if I graduate. I have no clue what I'll be going for, but I know what I really want to do. Writing is my passion, and has been since I was much younger, however, my parents do not support it, and will not pay for me to go to school for that. I don't know what to do anymore.

Hello Tyra, I'm 16 years of age and i've finally had enough. Most of the time i want to take my life & commit suicide. I constantly cut myself too. I've been to therapy but my therapist was a man and he slightly creeped me out because he got really attached to me and he use to say "You are the reason, I wake up everymorning" He always use to compliment me but i wasn't comfortable because I was touched by a doctor a few months before therapy began. I have always been struggling with weight as well. I just want to die so I can stop dealing with my weight. I wish I were really thin like the models. Home isn't the best place to be either. My dad wants me dead. He hates me & he's admitted it. I don't speak to him at all which makes me feel depressed. My family is also really poor. I'm trying my hardest to take AP classes and study but all the stress is destroying my soul. If i just had financial help for my studies and transportation, it would help me alot. =[ Mylife is a disaster and if I were dead, atleast my family won't waste money in me anymore, I won't struggle with weight, and i can rest my head. I need help....tyra..please help

Hey Tyra. I'm 12 years old and everytime someone sees me for the first time, they think I'm 15. Just today, 2 cars stopped infront of me, filled with men, asked me for my name, age, etc. I was scared for my life. I can't even walk down the street without some older dude trying to holla at me. Everytime I walk to the gas station, some guy is hollering at me " Hey Lil' Mama, what's your name, can I get with you" or " Do you have a man." When I don't respond, they run up to me asking me more questions. Why can't people see that I am only 12? Please help me!!! - 12 Going on 15
