Hello, I am 17 years old. I have really big dreams for my future. I really want to study in New York and even study abroad. The thing is, I am a bit excited. I have all these things planned out, like I am going to get a tattoo of something that means a lot to me. I know that plans don't always go the way want them to. For all my life, I have been really sheltered and suffocated by my controlling parents. I am scared I just won't go through with my plans because I am scared of what might happen. I know this is a stupid question, but is there anything wrong with dreaming big?

My man is currently in jail, and he told me while we were on the phone that he had a naked picture of a girl that looks just like me and he needs it cause he pretty much masturbates to it. I got EXTREMELY upset cause unfortunately I am the jealous type. I am also 36 weeks pregnant with his baby, so im already very self conscious about my body and very hormonal. I got extremely jealous even though I dont even know what the girl looks like, but im sure she's smokin hot if she's butt naked from a magazine or something. How would you feel if this happened to you? Should I be upset at him??

Talking to this older girl who used to babysit me she's 36 I think she's really hot we were texting she said I should visit her I said I'd love to visit her and we should hangout together she said definitely and gave me the date she comes back to town. I wanna escalate the convo to something more flirty. I'm 18 by the way and it's just that I've always wanted her she inspires me I think she's gorgeous and I know I'm young but as naive as this sounds I want her to be my first time. I love her curves

So my brother is 18, his profoundly deaf and we use sign lang to communicate with him (our family) and e came home 2 days ago with a brown eye, I asked him what happened and he got upset and explained that 3 guys always pick on him in class (he goes to a hearing school and has an interpreter in his clases) and when the interp guy isnt there they bully him for his bad speech and reading and writing skills and because he always looks lost (he gets lost alot, obviously) -1 of the guyz hates him alot because my brother is good looking and he dated his ex gf Anyway and after school they followed him and beat him up, i told him to tell mum and his teachers, but he said the communication barrier is hard and he doesnt want to be a 'rat' and he doesnt want to tell mom 4 some reason. What do i do? I really pitty him right now as he cant fight back or stick up for himself.

What examples does Jesus give? Not give?

17 in high school. I am pretty nerdy but I'm cute or so I've been told. I don't like when guys at school talk about women like they're objects. It breaks my heart and they're the only guys who actually get girls. They cheat on their girlfriends. I know confidence is a factor but I'm confident too but maybe it's my baby face. I'm not here to feel sorry for myself but these women are queens and deserve the best yet maybe these guys are mistakes they'll learn from lord knows. God bless you

Where I live I can actually find women that are down to earth, level headed. You can actually sit down and talk to these women, they are come as you are and will talk to anybody. This is literally the only area where the women aren't prudish and conceited. The only problem is that this whole demographic group believes that 'tough and scary' gets somebody respected. My sister got into a natural squabble with one of these women and she wanted to meet her in the parking lot to fight her. These women talks about the brawls that they've been in with people. Ive seen women roll on the streets in my neighborhood with people (fighting them) What should I do?

If they took out 115$ from a 28 hour check cause I was out 1 week. Then wouldn't that be more than half of my 534 I owe each month if I worked 80 hours a week. I figured it be half of 534 each 2 weeks.

My mom wants to move to the mainland (we live in Hawaii) and I have a S.O. for almost 4 years. I'm not ready to leave bc I'll miss the beach and I don't want to be away from him. I'm 18 and I'm capable of making my own decisions but my mom scares me when it comes to something I want to do.... whether it be hanging with my friends or going to a party.... my boyfriend is 22 and we were planning on getting our own place. I feel like I'm going to disappoint her bc she told me I can't have a boyfriend from Hawaii bc they're all "stupid" which is NOT true and my dad is from Hawaii so that's really dumb to say. Also, it's really expensive to live in Hawaii WHICH IS TRUE. But I love Hawaii. I'm willing to move if my S.O. comes along bc I want him to see the world as well. But I know they WOULD make me break up with him and leave... but I don't have the guts to do that to the person I love. Any advice?

I just moved into my new apartment about a week ago, and I feel like my neighbor across from me is watching me. I have absolutely no idea who this neighbor is, and I have never seen anyone come in or out of it. Any time I open my door and I leave my apartment at night time, the outdoor light turns on moments after close the door, and it stays on until after I am gone. There s been time when I am walking to my door and their outdoor light turns on too. I feel like they are watching me through their peephole. One time when I was moving in furniture, my door was open, and when I went to close it, I saw their door immediately close quickly, as if they were watching through my apartment with their door open, and they freaked out when I came back to close my door and didn t want me to see. I m scared that when they know I am leaving and gone that they will try to break into my apartment, and I feel uneasy knowing that one of my neighbors who I know absolutely nothing about will eventually learn my daily routine. To me this is a huge privacy issue and potentially safety issue. What should I do?

I started tutoring this football player who's well known in the school and also the quarterback. He's failing Calculus and I was assign to help him get his grades better and all. He was kind of full of himself when we first met which annoyed me and I definitely show it during the signing. During one of our sessions after school I was talking about the branches and while I was talking he kiss me off guard for a couple of seconds. He took me by surprise and it was awkward he didn't really said anything nor show any emotion, so I wasn't sure what to do. I kinda panic and ended out tutoring 15 minutes early to go home. After, his government quiz to which he surprisely pass with a B, he sorta did a little confession while I was packing my things. He said really nice things and all, but I didn't really accept his feelings about me (?). Now he's really bum out and everytime we cross path he just shut outs and stuff. I barely know a lot of people since I was new a few years ago. I'm not sure what to do or how I feel about him. I'm having mix emotions about this.

I'm 20 and I'm going to be graduating college next year. I'm going to be an RN. I was wondering when I should travel since I feel like once I get a job I won't be able to get a lot of time off to travel the world. I also however don't want to not get a job straight out of college since I'm going to have a lot of debt to pay off. When should I travel? I don't want my 20s to go to waste by working all the time and regretting it later when I'm older.

My boyfriend and I of 4 years moved in with each other in December, ever since then we haven't been on the best terms. He's literally the laziest person on the planet! One month I had to pick up for his portion of the rent because he decided he needed to take a month off of work and I work 50 hours from M-F so I'm not even home during the week besides to sleep, so I deep clean the house every Saturday...by the time the weekend comes it's super messy again and I'm the only one who's willing to do anything around the house. I leave him maybe 2 or 3 SMALL chores to do before I get home because I want to come home to a clean house....I get home and nothing's done and nothing's done, basically what he tells me is "it'll get done at my pace." Also he says "why can't you do it? Your excuse is you're "working"?!" Like that's so rude..he only works part time 3 days a week. I could afford rent and etc by myself...what should I do?

I've been with him for 8 months. He's 28. His dad sold his company so his family has millions of dollars, but he works as a crane operator but still has his mom pay his phone bill and stuff. I only make $14.35 with a college degree in use, so when I realized it was pointless I decided to go back to school for my RN although it's taking me years going part time. With student loans I'm unable to leave my parents house right now and I've been saving like crazy to get my own place. I can't live with my bf because we are over an hour apart and I can't afford the distance from school and work, and he refused to move a little closer and actually moved further away when he had the chance. I had to get new tires which was a big expense, along with other things, and during weird random arguments he says things like, "if you think $500 is gonna screw you then you're f***ed in the real world" and "you're just gonna live at home with mommy and daddy forever" even though I HATE IT and they don't pay for any of my things anyway. I never talk bad about him so I don't know why he does with me. He's also not supportive of me being in school either so I can't win.

My grandfather recently passed away today. Im trying to think of the good times but it's hard. It causes me to have bad anxiety especially since you can possibly die from a broken heart. I dont know what to do. Im completely lost.

I haven't always hated her. We used to be very close and I had a good relationship with her at one point. Ever since I got a boyfriend she has only had anything to do with me if she needed something, even so far as to call me up totally wasted and demand I order her Uber which happens close to every weekend because she's having problems with her husband whom she doesn't live with (weird dynamic, I know). She told me horrible things a couple months ago ago such as saying she wishes she never had me and telling me to get the **** out of her house, etc, but conveniently chooses to "forget" those things. She also hates my boyfriend and says he is banned at the house all because 2 months ago he asked her if she had a problem with him because she'd call me up and cuss at me down the phone when I was with him. The only thing she really loves is her dogs (they can never be left alone and are treated like humans) and she sits on the sofa all day watching tv. I'm 18 and a full time student and don't have a job, although I'm looking for one right now, so I cannot afford to move out right now. I just need some advice on how to handle the situation because I don't know what to do.

I slept with a woman who lied about being single and getting on birth control. I took her word for it. My friends tell me to get a DNA test first before confessing about the affair. I am pretty sure her husband will be able to tell the kid is not his the moment the child is born. They're both black and I'm latino. The baby will most likely come out light skinned. I think it's better to get it overwith but I to have a sit with the wife and husband so we can just get it out. She refuses and wants me to keep my mouth shut.
