I'm 17 but I will be 18 in december. Thats only a few months away and everyone around me is making it known. Everytime I turn around I hear "You're going to be 18 soon, do this that and the other thing" and I'm like "Whoa, I wasn't ding that 6 months ago, you didn't teach me how to do that and now I'm supposed to figure it out for myself?" I don't feel like I was prepared for some of the things that come wih adulthood and now a few months before my 18th brithday everyone just expects me to just go out and do it. Push me into the lakeeven though I don't know how to swim. I'm the baby in the family and everything was always done for me but now peole are suddenly telling me i have to do these things for myself, It's freaking me out, i'm literally having panic attacks thinking about it. Also adding to my most likely unnecessary stress is the fact that when I tell my mom about these attacks she laughs it off and tells me "It's not like i'm going to throw oyu out the day you turn 18" but

Express it out here. I am sure there is something everyone wanted to say out or express it but no one is there to listen. Who you like, what you are sad about, what's your ambition, what you like people to understand about you etc.

I am chronically depressed and have been since before age 12. I used to cut myself frequently, especially while drinking. I very rarely self-injure now, mostly because of the terrible scars I have. Most of my left arm is covered in scars. I found out after I started cutting myself more severely that I scar very badly. They are all lined up and parallel to each other so there is no way to blame them on a accident. The ones on my upper arm are the worst. They look like large red slugs. After years of healing, they are slowly becoming white and flattening, but they are thick and will always be noticable. I've finally tired of wearing longer sleeves in the summer and have decided to just wear what everyone else does. However, people, sometimes complete strangers, ask me what happened. I've even had people shout to me from across a store "what happened to your arm?" What should I tell these people and people I know?

I am 23 years old I work in retail full time as a manager.
According to my husband the hours that I work are odd.
I am wondering what people in my age group work. Or if you are not in my age group what times did you work @ my age.

My shift varies week from week. The shifts I normally work is 9-5:30 or 1:30-10.

I'm totally afraid of penis, I can't even stand the sight of it, or even think about it. I'm getting to the age where sex is expected and guys expect me to make a move to rub their penis or give them a ******** or even full sex. The thought of touching a penis or inserting it into my body is horrific to me! What's wrong with me? What do I do? I don't know how to explain it, I just think a penis is awkward, ugly, and disgusting! I'm afraid of it!

Note: I'm not a lesbian and I enjoy men and I have no attraction to women, so that's not the issue.

Are you of the opinion that those who are in relationships are the ones who should make the effort to dress up, that the reason being to keep their partner interested?
And for those who're single shouldn't bother, because they've noone to impress?

What do you think?
