just for you harry <3

She didn't even have it illegally downloaded or anything. I didn't mention it, just played it on my iPod, and we started talking about nothing. Today she said she got FRONT ROW tickets to an Ed Sheeran concert. Not only that, but she made sure to post it everywhere I would see it. This is not the first time she's done this. She even got a dog a month after I got a dog. She doesn't care about it, but she just wants to have more than I do. It's really getting to me, but I don't know what to do. :(

i suggest not talking to her for a while. she ignore her. she really needds to stop.  thats so annoying. don't tell her anyuthing about your intrests or things like that. just let her wonder.. You need a little break from her and i suggest you take it!

I got over it because she's my cousin and I do love her. A few months ago we were listening to A Team by Ed Sheeran and a few other songs on my iPod. She said she really loved Ed Sheeran, and even named a few lesser known songs off his album to comment on. Just this weekend we were again talking about Ed Sheeran, and I said I would love to go to his concert. I looked on her iPod for a song by him to play, and she only had A Team. [2]

I have this one cousin around my age who always followed everyone else, so when it was cool to do so she obsessed over Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers, etc. I never cared about what was popular to do, so I listened to Taylor Swift, who she often criticized. When I first started liking 1D, she took an interest in them and 2/3 weeks later got tickets to their 2013 concert. I was pretty mad, because she hasn't even thought about asking me. She promised to never do it again. [1]

Thank you so much Carissa! Thank you for giving me something to hope for in the future. What you said was actually exactly what I needed to hear, though I just didn't know it. Thanks for the advice, it means so much. Lots of love : ) x

Anytime hun!! Like I said, I am always here if you need anyone to talk to. :) And I'm glad that what I said was helpful!

To the person who sent this 5 part message:

"Thank you so much for doing this. It means a lot. And thanks for giving me a way to get this off my chest. I try to be a happy person, but really, I'm not, and lately it's been showing. I think about what it would be like in another person's shoes, and remind myself that my problems are simple compared to theirs, but it doesn't help at all. It might be because I try to help everyone before I help myself.

"Everyone's problems start to pile up on me, and sometimes I would like someone to help me, too .I don't talk to my friends about it, because they think I am a happy person who sees the world as a good place, which is the kind of person I would like to be. But I need someone to listen. Sometimes I feel like no one listens to me in my family. When I'm at school, and all my friends say they want to go home, I don't say anything.

"Not that I want to stay in school, but I don't want to go home. Just, the screaming, yelling, cursing, and constant criticism. I don't think they can see what they're doing to me. It hurts really bad. I don't cut, or do anything harmful to myself, but sometimes I just look at the little blue veins on my wrist and think about what would happen if I cut them. I don't want to do that, though. I don't want to die, but I don't want to live anymore. Not this way. 

"I get constant headaches because of my family, and every time I take a pill I think about what would happen if I took a few extra. Putting knives away, shaving, organizing wires, it all reminds me of what I can do if I'd like. But I don't want to die. I just wish they would listen to me though. Every time I try to talk to them, especially my dad, I feel teas well up in my eyes, and can't talk to him. I was always daddy's little girl, the smart one, the happy one.

"My relationship with my dad, my favorite person in life, is severely fractured, but I want it back to the way it was. I don't want this life anymore. Thank you for listening to me. It's really what I need right now. I don't want to be depressed. I just don't know what to do next."

First off, I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. It definitely is frustrating to feel like the people who should support you no matter what are the ones that are actually yours biggest critics. 

I just want to say that I can understand where you are coming from. I have a very critical family, and I often feel like they are criticizing my every move. And I definitely go through periods where I just want to leave home and never talk to my family again because they are being like this and making me feel this way. 

And it's during these times that I surround myself with friends who will let me just vent and hear me out (just like you sought us out). Venting like this is one of the best ways I find that I can get through the rough patches.

Though this probably isn't what you want to hear right now, it does get better. Things may suck now, but I promise that you won't feel like this forever. And it helps me a lot when I'm feeling like this to surround myself with my friends because I know that they will let me vent when I need to get some feelings out, as well as that they will help cheer me up by getting my mind off the situation. It really is amazing how just not thinking about a bad situation for a couple of hours can make such a big difference.

I'm glad to hear that you don't want to kill yourself. You are showing how strong of an individual you are through that fact alone. 

I want you to know that we are always here for you if you need someone to talk to, and that we are more than happy to be that person you can vent to and get your mind off the situation.

I've been cutting for nearly a year, no one knows though. I really want to tell people, to get help, but I can't. Im afraid my friends will all hate me if they knew what I was doing, they'd probably never speak to me again. And it's hard enough at school with them there I couldn't handle it without them (even though they know none of this). I can't tell my parents either, they'd kick me out the house.. Which doesn't seem tht bad considering I've run away from home before and I've always (part 1)

(part2) that I could live away from them permanently but I'm way to you and I have no money to rent somewhere, there's no where I could stay either :/ I was reading on refugees but they sound really scary so probably not. I just don't know what to do anymore, especially in sport or cooking when they try to make us take our jumpers off and everyone is asking why I won't take mine off. Running out of excuses/ways to hide them too :/ sorry to bother you! Help please? :( x

babe, you should talk to someone about this. someone you can trust, a school councillor, a family friend, someone you can trust to not say anything. when you're ready tell your parents. they were your age once, they'll understand. 

have you thought about just staying at a friends house, maybe that would be a good time you could tell them. if your friends are your real friends, they won't judge you. they'll take in everything you tell them and do whatever they can do to help you.

you're an incredible girl remember, don't ever feel like you're not. things will get better in time. but there's no use harming yourself over anything.

but seriously, talk to someone about it and they can help you.

I hope this helps you babe!

I've been bulimic for two years and I don't know how to stop. All of my friends seem to be avoiding me. My boyfriend is moving across the country at the end of the summer. I don't like myself anymore. I don't know what to do. Please help me.

Hey love! Okay, what you need to do is talk to your friends. Its hard to talk to them when they seem to be avoiding you but you need to figure out why they are acting like that. All you need to do is send them a text and say "Hey! Are you mad or upset with me cause you've been acting weird towards me lately!?" Just say that and they have to be honest then! About you're boyfriend, I'm really sorry to hear that! Maybe you guys could do a long distance relationship, but those are pretty hard though. You would just have to video chat and talk alot more! I'm sure you guys would be able to do that! Why don't you like yourself anymore!? Maybe you're just to stressed out! You need to do something recreational! Go get your nails done, read a book, go shopping. Do something that relaxs you and gets your mind off everyone else! Maybe you need to change up your wardrobe a bit, buy yourself something new that you like yourself to wear! If you need anything else! Just come talk to us! We love you! Stay strong! :)
