    Perhaps I've seen one to many horror movies about a teen girl home alone but im genuinly scared right now. Im only 14 but my mom lives an hour away and my dad works nights! He started working nights like during the summer but i was never worried because i was always 1 mile away from my grandparents and my aunt so i knew they could be here in a matter of minutes. either that or on nights he had to work i'd just spend the night with them. But tonight my dad wont be back for hours and my aunt is out of town and my grandparents went out to eat with some long lost relatives ( i was not invited ) so im very paranoid as you can tell. Every noise freaks me out (which there are many because even though its the country i live in a busy neighborhood. how do i deal with this? all my family is either at dinner 30 min away and no where near ready to finish, out of town on buisness or (my moms side of the family) lives 4 states away!! IM ONLY 14!!! I talked to my dad but he wont work days so i have to deal with it but my aunt is a cop and this city isnt exactly safe so please help me!!! How do i get through the night without being scared?

    So earlier today, this guy asked me out. Hey guess what! we're going out now ! Now, I'm going through some problems. I'm bengali[if you don't know what that is, loook it up foool!] and hes black. so we're completely different, I dont know why he'd go for a girl like me . But I really really like him. Its being so awkward for me , and Im not racist, but its playing around with my hormones; getting me mad, some of his black friends come up to mee & they're like; "dayymm , didn't know you liked niggaaas" I try to ignore them. But also, a lot of people aren't liking us together. I was gonna be with him at lunch, but I saw him with his "brothaaas" ; He said he wanted to chill with me , BUT its really affecting everything. So I chilled with my bestfriend, and stayed away from him. the only alone time we have, are some passing periods, when no-one's looking . He said to give them time, and they'll get over it. but it annoys the shit out of me. D:

    I'm 17 and my ex is 19. We were together for one year. He is obviously getting over me as he started college recently at a university and he's added a few girls he goes to school with on Facebook. Me, on the otherhand, I haven't met any guys after him and I'm just always thinking about him so it's hard to get over him. I hate that he's meeting all these girls and I'm not meeting any new guys that I'm interested in. I'm kind of jealous. What should I do?

    I need to be as understanding to you guys as possible so that I can get as much help as possible. Let me give you the low down of how I've stuffed up my life.I'm 19 years old..Okay It was all working well I was In a Job for 4 months then I left because I wanted to move back out west which Is where all of my mates were and It was a hassle to drive out back home every Friday to go see my friends for the weekend. It was one of the most relaxed Jobs I've ever had but as with every other Job there is It got too repetitive and I didn't have the correct frame of mind to continue the Job. Then.. I was unemployed for about 5 months sitting at home.. every day for 5 months so I decided to do a course In automotive that course cost me $5000 New Zealand dollars which I have to pay back. Then I was out of money for a while so I could not get to school and I missed out on alot of classes so I gave that up In less than a month. That's $5000 In debt so far, then my Mum gave me her car which cost her $5000 then I got a speeding ticket which was $500 then my car conked out on me I don't have the money to fix It It's pretty stuffed up now I can only sell It for about $1000 and that's $500 towards my fine. So I got a car then I blew It I'm In debt. Then I decided to go Join the gym. I only earnt $160 a week the gym cost me $30 a week. Then my bank account got shut down therefore the gym could not receive anymore of my payments and now they're racked up at $120. I also owe my friend $325 and my other friend $120. And my pay of $160 was coming from my student allowance which I have to pay back. I have no Job.. I can't seem to find one or stick to one. No car my Dad still buys me groceries and pays my rent he works his ass off at work I pretty much live off him and I feel so horrible every single day that I am hear I feel so sorry for my Dad but I cannot leave because I have no where else to go. I also have OCD which Just ruined me. I cannot hide the fact that I am so very depressed and It feels like I am at the end of the road and It Is hard to keep positive ='( Far out the human brain Is wicked Isn't It. I'm getting different opinions from all over the place based on your peoples experience. I am getting unnecessary Answers here one of them which Is very rude. No I am not a girl yes I do pray because I want to believe In something that can help me. I do have other stuff going on In my life so please don't Judge me too much. I know what I need to do I know It Isn't fun but I can only handle so much. I came here for answers not criticism. Thank you all for your advice I do agree with some of you. These are all my first mistakes which Is why I made them In the first place. I do not have much motivation to do things I do not know how to Initiate motivation In myself okay. I know I'm not the only one but all I've asked for Is help not cold hearted rudeness alright. Thank you all for your advice I will take It.

Back-to-School Street Smarts

By Ann Douglas

Q. My ten-year-old is going to be walking to school with a group of friends, starting this fall. I don’t want to make her totally paranoid, but I do think I should arm her with some street smarts. Any tips?

In addition to reviewing the basic pedestrian safety rules she needs to avoid a run-in with a cyclist or motor vehicle, you’ll also want to make sure she knows how to deal with bullies and anyone else she might bump into who doesn’t have her best interests at heart, including potential child abductors.

One thing you don’t want to do is warn her not to speak to strangers. Not only is that advice unhelpful: it can actually be dangerous in that it gives kids the message that it’s safe to speak to anyone that they’ve met before. (These acquaintances are non-strangers—at least by their definition.)

A more realistic approach is to give kids the tools they need to keep themselves safe, according to Samantha Wilson, founder of Kidproof Canada and author of Safe Kids, Safe Families (HarperCollins, 2005). “What you need to do is to empower your children with self-confidence and trust in their ability to sense when something is just not right,” she explains. “What will protect children is their ability to develop a keen sense of awareness, observation skills, and self-control. Most important, they must be taught to listen to their instincts.”
