Im 17 and livin in Melbourne Australia, Im often on MSN and i hav a female friend who i often talk to who lives in perth. For those dont know, Melb and Perth are very far away like 3000 km. Anywayz me and this girl, whos a year and a bit younger than me (turns 16 in a couple weeks), have spoken to eachother over the net for soo long now, i dont know exactly what, but it must be few years but of course we've never met. Over the years we have gotten to like each other alot, and im starting to think if its gotten too much. Evry time we talk we say how much we miss each other and luv each other. shes had only a few bfs since the time we've talked but everytime she does i feel jealous even tho i know im stupid 4 that. is this holdin me back from relationships? Is someone just gonna get hurt? I wanna meet her & she does 2, and am plannin to travel to perth when i finish skool but i dono how, no one knows about her. wat do i say when my parents ask me why i wanna go? Im embarrased, what do i

I am 45 years old and just started going to college. This is something I have been terrified of since my "bad old days" of high school, never liked high school and although I was (and am) pretty smart, never showed up for class and got in a lot of trouble along the way. I would love to get a degree now that I am "together" and really want to show up. Most of the other students are about 25 years younger than I am, I feel a little out of place, but a couple of them have welcomed me and included me, that feels great!

sometimes when i'm all alone i think about that day. i know they say it was no ones fault but i think deep down they are just trying to make me feel better. well i don't. snoodles (my pedigree spoodle) was the best friend anyone could have in the whole wide world, and leaving that gate open was the worst thing i ever did. who was to know that the pitbull, Jack, who lives up the road hadn't eaten in three days. oh god, as i type this now i remember all the fun we had. the games, the company on lonely nights, the glint in her eye when i threw her that bone. OH SNOODLES NOOOOOO! p.s. i am a virgin

I have lied so much in my life when i was younger that i can't sleep. my family is great, always has been, and i told them a major lie 10 years ago to get out of trouble. i did tons of pot smoking and even did coke, mcrack and some other stuff. i can't sleep. help

The friend I’ve been in love with for some time now finally caught on that I was interested in a bit more than being a convenient male girlfriend. She gave me a very cold reception the last time I saw her. I’m glad she knows my real feelings, despite her reaction. It’s not the best outcome, but I prefer it to the constant dissembling. I will leave it up to her whether to get in touch again.

I hate my children's father, I've never known another psychotic human like him in my life. The entire time I've known him (7 years) he swears that I'm invoved w/other men. I never have. We have broken up and now he follows me and lingers in my back yard at night. I have gotten a restraining order but I feel horrible sending him to jail for violating it, only because our children wouldn't see him for a long time. Honestly I don't even want the kids around him. I don't know what to do, I love my children and I don't regret having them, but I know I hate the day I ever met him.

I have this friend who does drugs and she just recently overdosed on skittles. I am really afriad that she is going to end up killing herself in the future and i dont want her to because she is such a kool person. I am sooo worried and i know that if something bad does happen to her i am going to feel like it is my fault. What do i do? How do i confront her about this?

I had to sell my car the other day. I admit that it hurt more than breaking up from my boyfriend ..
