Need Advice? xxx

I know some people who self harm, but I am trying to convince them to stop, what shall I say/do?

First off, I have great respect for you for convincing self harmers to stop. It is a very hard thing to do, as self harming is addictive, but here are some things you might want to mention/ do:
- Let them know how it would affect the people around them like family, friends and so on
- Distract them by doing something you both enjoy doing
- Explain both the butterfly and elastic band method to them
- Just remember that simply saying "Stop self harming" isn't going to change anything. It is hard work to get someone to stop self harming, but it's possible. xoxo

So my homecoming is in 3 weeks and there is this really cute guy in my 3rd period. And we have never talked.... But I really wish we did and I want him to ask me to homecoming!! I have no idea how I talk to him. Advice?

You should just go up and talk to him! Talk about anything aha. There's no other way of getting to know him so might as well go for it xxxxx

I've been self harming for a year and only do it when im really upset. But now it seems constant now :( I've got a gorgeous boyfriend and he helps but i cant help but think he's just saying that im perfect and all that cause he feels the need to :(

Hey beautiful :)
Your boyfriend is with you for a reason. He is with you because he loves you for who you are. If he loves you, then he definitely would not be saying all this stuff to you just to make you feel good. He says it because it's true.
You are so much stronger than a blade, a blade cannot rule your life and take away the control you have on things. I know it's hard to let go of a habit such as self harm, but imagine what your children will say. How would you respond if they asked you, "Mommy, why do you have scars on your arms?".
Please don't cut, look brightly into the future and stay strong gorgeous xoxo

I really need some help, this girl at my school (used to be my best friend) has now turned against me. She's been bullying me, I've told the school and they've done nothing and I know she still says stuff behind my back but I don't know what to do about it :/

Hey :)
What I would personally do is confront her about it. It might be hard, but there is no reason that she can talk about you. Personally I think that there is no point in telling the school. My school never did anything about bullying incidents either. But if the situation becomes very serious, you might even want to go to the police xxx

My mate doesn't really self harm but he enjoys stupid and painful stuff like attaching himself to small batteries with wires.... Help?

What your friend is doing is self harm. It might not seem like it, but self harm isn't just cutting your wrists, it pulling your hair, punching walls, making yourself throw up and many more things. You should persuade him to go to a doctor asap xxx

How can I be better at having conversations with people? I always feel like I'm boring people, never know what to talk about and I'm really awkward and stuff :/

Hey beautiful :)
I'm sure you're not boring to people. I have quiet a few friends, but there are some people who I just can't converse with because it's too weird or awkward. I think that you just need to surround yourself with people that you feel comfortable with, and who have similar interests to you xxx

I need your help I'm in love with a boy who doesn't love me back I'm 17 sand this sound Silly but he asked me out and then used me for sex then dumped me and I'm finding it hard to get over him help

Hey beautiful :)
It doesn't sound silly. I know exactly what it feels like to be used, but you have to get over him. If he used you once, you don't know for sure that he won't do it again. I personally would walk right up to him and slap him as hard as I could to show him how much he hurt me. If you want to forget about him, do that and then do something that brings you joy; go shopping, meet up with friends, go on a date with someone... It will help, trust me xxx
