My graduation from high school is coming up, as well as
the start of college, and I'm really stressed out. -M.
Well, there's only one thing you can do. Just relax, take it
easy, and do what you want with the time you have. For the
next four years, and the rest of your sad and useless life,
you're going to be under the dictatorship of someone uglier
and fatter than you. You'll be miserable, hate your job, your
spouse, your children, and yes, even that spider plant sitting in
the corner. You'll have days when you don't want to wake up
in the morning (but does anyone really want to wake up in the
morning?), where you won't want to shower or even show
your face to the public. That's why I suggest going balls out
this summer. Live for the moment, do what YOU want, and
don't take shit from anyone. This is your life, and hell, if
you're going to be stuck in a void for the rest of your life,
then live it up now. Go skydiving, go to the beach for a
month, hell, go to a spa everyday. Do what you want, this is
your time. Do it while you're still young, man. When you get
old, and finally out of the void, you'll be too filled with aches
and pains to move your butt from your dining chair in the old
people's home to your bed.
My closest friend is extremely obsessed with her
boyfriend and has no time for me anymore. What should
I do? -Kristina G.
Ah, the common forsaken-friend syndrome. It sucks, I'll tell
you that much. I went through this with my friend as well. As
soon as her now boyfriend came along I was out like Shout.
She completely ditched me and I did everything in my power
for her, to try to stay her friend, and keep things alive. But she
saw right through me and into the eyes of her lover. And it
hurt. We had been friends for years and here she was,
completely dropping the ball of our friendship. It went on like
that for years because I was too afraid to hurt her feelings and
start conflict, and it wore off after a while. They broke up,
eventually, and then when their relationship started again, I
knew I couldn't go through that again. So we sat down, we
had a talk, and I told my friend everything I had been feeling,
and we had a really good heart to heart about it, and now
things are fine. So what I suggest to you is talk to your friend
before it's too late. Communication is vital in ANY
relationship, whether it be intimate or not. Talking with one
another is the most important thing you can do with someone
you care about so don't be afraid. They're your friend, they're
not (well, they shouldn't) going to look down on you for
anything, and they'll respect your opinion.

I think I'm unattractive, as do all the male species on this
planet; what do I do?
First of all, you should never think badly of yourself. No matter
how ugly you may think you are on the outside, you aren't on the
inside.You are your own worst critic, this is true, but you can't
take it to such an extreme where you can't even stand looking into
a mirror. It's not healthy for your mind, or your heart. I was
watching a show on MTV once, about a punk girl who wanted to
be prom queen, and one of the things her instructor told her she
should do every day to raise her self-esteem was to look dead into
a mirror and tell herself one good thing or something she liked
about herself. It worked, and the girl became prom queen, and
more confident in herself. So I suggest taking a day to yourself at
least once a week, where you can kick back and listen to a little
music, eat, or just sleep. Do something that betters yourself. And
yeah, look into that cracked, dirty mirror every day, give yourself
a big ol' smile, and tell yourself how beautiful you are, if not on
the outside, then on the in. It's worth it, and you'll be more
confident, more outgoing, and all around just a nicer person. Now
for the male species on this planet.. Eh, they're not worth it. As
long as you think the best of yourself, then they don't matter. You
have friends, and if not, you have yourself, and that's all you need.
