Problem #4: Advice
Why would you live your life based on what people say? People are either cruel, or they don’t mean the things they say literally. I can personally relate to this situation because I am also naturally thin, and I have been called anorexic many times myself, but that doesn’t mean you should put stock into anything they say.
Just think of it this way: you are naturally thin, and many girls would kill to be thin and healthy, don’t ruin your life by making yourself sick. You are worth much more than any comment made by a careless passerby.

Problem #4
People think I’m anorexic but I’m naturally skinny. I’ve stopped trying to prove them wrong and started starving myself.
Problem #3: Advice
Well there are a number of ways you can handle this. You could flirt majorly and hope he picks up on the hint, or analyze every word they say to you for months…or you could have a friend talk to him-that one was popular in middle school wasn’t it? But to be honest I would take the straightforward route. I’m a pretty straightforward person and I feel like if you take the indirect route there are a lot of opportunities for confusion. Sometimes it’s better to walk up to someone and ask “Hey, I really like you. Do you have any feelings for me?” than to beat around the bush, cause if you do there’s no telling what could go wrong. And sometimes the risk of rejection is worth finding out the truth instead of wondering what could’ve happened.

Problem #3
I’m crushing on someone BIG TIME and i cant tell if they like me back…how do i know?
Problem #2: Advice
Look I’d love to say you don’t need a man, but let’s face it, that doesn’t mean we all don’t WANT one at some point. So all I can say to you is please, RESPECT yourself enough to realize that if he doesn’t respect you, he doesn’t deserve you. There is no reason that you should put up with someone treating you badly, cheating on you, not respecting you, just because they’re sexy, or you like them. You CAN live without them, and sometimes you just have to. Cause it isn’t worth it. You don’t have to give up your dignity for some random guy.
Problem #1: Advice
Answer#1:
No matter how useless it seems to stay alive, there IS someone who cares about you; I’m sure you have friends and family who would be devastated to lose you. Even if there was noone else, I am ALWAYS here to talk. The best thing that you can do is contact a suicide hotline (in the US 1-800-273-8255) and try to figure out why you feel this way and what can be done to make you feel like your life is worth living. There is absolutely NO reason that your life should end.
