Question:
Hey! First of all, you are really kind for giving us advice. So... here's my problem.
I'm very, very insecure about the way I look. I'm overweight and I hate my body. I don't like my personality either, because I'm very, very shy and I'm not able to be myself with anyone, because I'm really scared that nobody likes me. I hate myself so much, and I wish I was someone else. I have never cut, too scared, but I've thought about suicide a lot. What should I do? Is there a way for me to feel more self-confident?
Plus, I'm bisexual, but I don't have the courage to tell anybody because I know my dad would make fun of me and my mother would kick me out and my friends would stop talking to me. What should I do?
Thank you so much just for reading!
My Answer:
Please don't kill yourself</3 You have your whole life ahead of you!! If you ever feel depressed call this number please 1-800-273-8255. For your shy-ness, step out of your boundary! Go to a party, or invite a bunch of your friends over for a sleep over. Go bowling or to a movie and just talk to new people. In school, im sure there is someone that you dont really knwo that well, talk to them! Become friends with them! If you are concerned about your weight you should start eating better, this website gives weight loss tips: http://www.teenagerstoday.com/articles/body-image/weight-loss-tips-for-teens-990/ . that should give you some idea of where to start!(: As for your sexuality, you dont have to tell anyone right now if you don't want to! During your teenage years girls tend to be confused about their sexuality. You could tell people 10 yeras from now if you wanted too! Tell them when YOU think the time is right!
Best of Luck<3
