I used to work at a store and I got fired. I stole a lot of merchandise from the store and gave my friends and family members discounts. They caught me and I didn't spend one night or day in jail for it. But I am afraid come Tuesday I will get arrested. I have to pay like over $1,500 in resistitution. Every month the payment is like 50 bucks but I can't afford it. I've been trying to get another job since then but every interview I've been doesn't want to hire me. I think they call the store and ask for the manager and she tells them that I was dishonest and that's why I can't get hired. I have to live with this for the rest of my life. I regret this so much.

I am 30 years old and have been with my boyfriend (same age) for nearly 7 years. I am head over heels in love with him. We have a lot in common and are very happy together. The problem is, he is afraid of marriage. That bothers me but I was willing to deal with it ... until he decided to take a job in Hawaii. We currently live on the eastern side of the mainland so that is an incredible distance to move away from family, friends etc. Originally, we discussed going together. Then I thought I would be making a mistake leaving everything I have for just a boyfriend. So I said we needed to get married first. He told me he can't. He's too afraid to commit.

I'm 14 years old currently and lately I've been having sexual fantasies about girls. Now, you might say that this is OK, but the problem is that I AM a girl myself. While surfing the net sometimes , I spot girl porn and I admit that I have viewed them quite a lot. I know that this is wrong and whack because God created Adam & Eve. Not Eve & Eve. I'm attending an all-girl school too, which makes this especially uneasy for me. I'm not a lesbian and I do not intend to be one because I personally find it sick and wrong. No offense. I'm really, really confused! Is this a problem or is it a normal thing all teenagers go through? Someone help/advice, please!

I ran out on and left a guy I'd been with for years. He was abusive. I swore I'd be single for a long time, I felt like I needed the time alone. Then this lovely, new guy came out of nowhere and we got together. He's so nice, but I just feel trapped. I walk around thinking, -I hate you, I hate you- and it's had me down for weeks now. I can't handle it. I just want to beon my own, be selfish for a while. There's so much more. I don't even know where to begin. Sometimes I just wish I was dead.

i miss you. i miss you so much, but you've totally moved on and you're happy with him. and for the longest time i tried to convince myself and all your other friends that you were just faking happiness with him, that it was really just complacency and not wanting to break his heart. but i don't think that's true. i think you actually really love him. which just crushes me. i thought you really wanted a life with me, but i guess not. and i thought that when i told you i was a lesbian, you would say -holy crap, me too! and i'm in love with you!- i genuinely thought that. because i'm an idiot. but my admission didn't change anything, so i guess you were never feeling what i was feeling. but now there's this new girl, for the first time since everything with you. and i really like her, but i think i got too pathetic and scared her away. because YOU made me into a loser. i really think she's perfect for me, but of course she could sense my desperation and it drove her off. girls hate me. =[

I sometimes feel like im not going nowhere my boyfriend broke up with me. My bestfriend he understood me. I did so many things for him and he tells me that he wants a relationship but not a long distance one and that 2 of his exs wants him back. I would do anything for him. I have one wonderful guy that wants to be with me but i don't want him. I have another guy that wants to be with me but i don't want him. I, me was willing to be faithful i did not cheat on him. Now i know y gurls and guys cheat cuz of stuff like this

I don`t know what is the right thing to do. I want to leave my country and see the world, but I know I would get married if I went to live in another country. If I got married there I wouldn`t be able to see my grandparents so often and I am afraid they would die while I am away. I love them very much, but I think if i move to another country my mother wouldn`t be able to look after them, she spends all her money on clothes and cosmetics, never leaving any money for her parents. I am not sure I will be able to find work here, so I want to leave, but would that be selfish?Stay here and change my profession or move and do what makes me happy?Even now I am away in college and I always ask them for their health and happiness.This tortures me,i don`t know waht to do,they have no other grandchildren.

I really like you a lot! I don't care about our differences: racial, cultural, musical, or physical. Snuggling with you felt amazing! I want you to ask me out soooo badly. The only problem is that we live 3 hours apart from each other. I am scared of getting attached and then you telling me that -things won't work out-. I'm so afraid, in fact, it's keeping me from showing you my true feelings. I don't want to be rejected. I can't go through that again. I know you like me too, but I'm not sure exactly how much...
