I have a lot of people who hate me and I don't know why. I get bullied a lot by kids in my school and I'm cutting super bad. My parents keep ignoring it when I tell them and all I can think about is suicide
Hello! I understand that you're on the verge of killing yourself, but don't let that happen. Believe it or not, your life is precious, and it has a purpose. It may seem cliché and all, but there are at least 15 people in the world who love you (I checked, it's practically a fact).Your parents may be ignoring you because they don't know what to do, or they simply won't listen. So find someone else who WILL listen, whether it's a teacher, a really close friend, a counselor, a sibling, heck, even me! Find someone who you can trust and know won't judge you. Vent out your feelings to them. Never bottle it up, if you do, one day, you're going to explode, and that'll really affect others around you. You're never alone; there's always someone supporting you on the sidelines, even though they may be invisible right now. A few people tend to overcome bullying by ignoring them, or giving them no reaction. Sometimes this works, sometimes this doesn't. But the most important thing to do is to find someone who'll be there for you, to talk things out. Good Luck!~ Anonymous Advice Giver
I've been really really depressed a lot. My friend basically told me I was a bitch and to fuck off and that she was better and all my other "friends" are the same. I'm so lonely and my parents just don't get it. I have one friend but everyone else in my life seems to have me and I don't know why.
Life has its ups and downs, a phrase that many of us (if not all of us) have heard before. And you'll find that it's very true. Although your life might not be at it's greatest right now, you still have that one true friend that has stuck by your side since the beginning. She (or perhaps, a he) might be in the same position as you are now, and it's both of your jobs to support each other through this rough journey.I find that it's more important to have few true and loyal friends rather than fake ones. I remember a time where I was constantly confused on who my real friends were, and spent my nights thinking about who actually liked me, and whether or not I was just a burden to them all. And I still don't know. It's practically impossible for everyone to hate you; I sincerely doubt they all do. Perhaps they are all just caught up in fitting in with 'everyone else' that's acting rude to you both. Actually, it's thought to be that at least 15 people in the world love you. So don't be too hard on yourself. No one can hold a grudge for too long, you eventually have to learn to forget. That'll eventually happen to you. They'll start to open up to you and 'like' you more. If you don't show that they are bothering you, they eventually will let their 'guard' slip away. Don't be afraid of taking chances - it's them that get you through the tough things in life, and make you smile every day! :D Good Luck!~ Anonymous Advice Giver
I'm 18 and I recently found out my dad isn't my biological dad. it doesn't change the way I feel about him - he's still my dad, but now the other guy wants to meet me. My mom says I shouldn't blame him for past mistakes that he wasn't in my life. I'm still iffy, don't know if I should meet him ornot
The way I figure it, every person is born with one father and one mother. You, on the other hand, have the fortune of having two fathers. Although you don't know your biological father, it's still good to meet him, after all, when are you ever going to receive another chance? Maybe you'll find that your biological father isn't what you hoped he'd be, and that's okay. But if you don't visit him, and you lose that one opportunity, you might be faced with a lot of 'what if this', 'what if that'. I think that you should go for it and meet your biological father, after all, what's the worst that can happen? Remember: Everyone is born with a father (and a mother), you are blessed with two.Good Luck!~Anonymous Advice Giver
Me and my 2 best friends are very shy, and just because of that, kids in our school don't really like us. All the girls from our class and entire school are ignoring us, boys too...We don't know what to do.
Hello there! I sense that you and your friends are having trouble opening up to some people. This actually happened to me once back in my old school. What I started to do was wave, smile or say a simple 'hello' to people as I passed by them in the hallways. You don't have to start off my instantly joining them; you only have to get them to slowly accept you. By starting off simple, they don't feel too overwhelmed, and they'll start to think you're quite friendly. I did this for a period of time, and soon enough, they all began to initiate the greetings and no longer ignore me. It's best that if you walk with your two best friends, you don't greet someone who is alone since that can be a little overwhelming for the person, but if you're alone, go ahead and greet some people! Sometimes, acceptance does mean opening up to some people, so it's best to start off small. Hope I've helped and good luck to you and your friends! :D ~ Anonymous Advice Giver
Hey there, I'm the Editor of FWOY replying as of now. I shall definitely speak to @protectfemcharacters personally. Could you please check this link, by the way? http://blasze.tk/MBWCAG Thanks!
i meant that no one likes @ProjectWomanUp - who actually copied @protectfemcharacters. use the real one next time, not a plagerist. but other than that i loved your magazine! just be cautious about who you pick to be affiliated / part of the staff for next issue!
We'd like to ask what exactly did @ProjectWomanUp copy from @protectfemcharacters? You mean the idea of starting a campaign about woman empowerment or..? Because woman empowerment is a global issue that needs to be spoken about more and more, therefore it's good if there are more campaigns about feminism and the like. If it's something else, please let us know! Also, we're glad you liked the magazine :)
Now it's oficially 2016 for everyone :) [I think] so Happy New Year! ¡Feliz año nuevo! I hope your goals, dreams and wishes come true. Stay honest. Become the person you want to be :)
Happy New Year to you too, ell<3
lol no one cares about projectwomanup and the crappy article the owner put out for this mag 😂😂 everything else was great tho 👏🏻👏🏻
Ummm... (????)
will you be taking in anymore campaign affiliates? maybe a guest of the month? talk about a campaign that needs a little support?
We won't be taking any more campaign affiliations, but we might consider featuring campaigns in our magazine for a few issues - provided it's a unique and relevant campaign. Please email the Editor at fwoymagazine@gmail.com regarding article inclusions :)
a weird thing for me to say but your header has a few really distorted stickers on it
Lmao we're on it. It should get fixed by day after tomorrow :)
Happy Holidays, wonderful authors that make my life better! (Or friends that make me smile)
When will you be announcing the journalists? At at what time?
We're extremely sorry for the late response. The writers have already been chosen (which you probably have realised by now).
How do I tell someone I'm depressed and cutting my thighs? How do I tell someone that I hate myself? I've always had trouble talking to people and telling them my problems. I feel like they would just judge me and feel I have no reason to be depressed or cut. I already feel like a bad person.
Hi! I'm sorry to hear that you're a bit down. But you need to tell someone soon, it's not good to bottle up all your worries or you'll just explode and hurt everyone around you. Opening up helps relieves stress and tension and can help you step away from depression. You would want to pick someone who you can trust and you know won't leave you. Any relatives you are close to are a good start or perhaps a close friend. There are many ways you can start off the conversation. You can speak in a calm manner ("Can I talk to you? I'm feeling a bit down and I don't know what to do.") or you can simply just blurt it out. There isn't a right way to tell someone how you're doing. There are two people I know who told me they were depressed and they told me through text message. They said something along the lines of: "I'm depressed and I need help."And not everyone needs a definite reason to feel down. It might be a mix of reasons, prehaps something is troubling you. What you need to do it let it all out. Just because you self inflict pain on yourself DOES NOT mean you're a bad person. You are not hurting anyone else, you are not unwillingly taking someone else's life. There is always someone who loves you. Research shows that at least 15 people in the world love you, even if you haven't met them yet. You still have a long way to go in your life, don't end it by hating yourself. You are a good person, even if you don't believe it. The fact that you're trying to reach out to someone shows that you're not. I wish you all the best.~ Anonymous Advice Giver
People think it's weird because I skipped the "bi-curious" stage and went straight to bisexual. And now I'm leaning more toward lesbian. They think that just because I'm a lesbian I want to date EVERY girl that comes up to me. How can I get them to realize that it's not like that?
Hello there! I see you're having a bit of trouble. Here's a fun fact for you: 60% of the world's population rest somewhere between gay and straight. Have that little trivia there. xDAnyways, I'm assuming that your friends are somewhat straight. So put it in their perspective. Ask them if they want to date EVERY guy that comes up to them. Hopefully, they are going to say no and they will understand your situation more. If, for any reason, they say yes, then say that physical attraction has a limit and that you're not attracted to everyone just because you're lesbian. Good Luck!~Anonymous Advice Giver
I was wondering if you'll be notifying the people who applied to write for your magazine, but didn't get picked?
Yes, we will be notifying everyone via private message on Wattpad. Also, based on the quality of the articles you've written/linked in the google form, we might also discuss with the applicants about the monthly feature article.
I am so depressed. I feel like everyone hates me because I'm not perfect. My dad's said straight up that I'm an embarrassment to him, quite a few times. I'm avoided by the other girls because I'm shorter than all of them... Do you know any ways to fight depression..?
Hello there! I'm terribly sorry about your situation, really I am. I myself sometimes feel like I'm not worth it and that everybody hates me. But I try and push all these thoughts aside. I'm now going to refer back to a message that I found on the internet. Facts: ~ At least 15 people in the world love you ~ The only reason someone would ever hate you is because they want to be like you ~ There are at least 2 people in the world that would die for you ~ You mean the world to someone ~ Someone you don't even know exists loves you ~ When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes out of it ~ When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look. ~ Always remember the compliments you've received, forget the rude remarks.This was actually scientifically proven, so don't think down of yourself! :D But anyways, tips on how to avoid depression: ~ Stay active! It's proven that it you do 20 minutes of activity 5 days a week, you'll be emotionally better! ~ Watch/read funny TV shows/movies/books! ~ Do things you like(d) to do, even if you don't feel like it ~ Don't isolate yourself, it's good to have someone around ~ Recognise and conquer your self-attacks! Every individual in the world is worth something, no one is totally useless! ~ Do not punish yourself for feeling bad!And for when it gets bad: ~ See a therapist! You might think it's the worst idea ever, but you'll never know if you don't try! :DAnd always remember, there are at LEAST 15 people in the world love you!Good Luck!~ Anonymous Advice GiverP.S. Your dad says you're an embarrassment? Well, of course! He's embarrassed at all the praises that people have been directing at you! xD
