You're in middle school...I teach 123 people just like you every year. I know that you feel like something is wrong with you, but EVERYONE else has either gone through, is going through or will go through this. Watch whatever you like...and don't worry about being cool. Just be yourself and the rest will fall in line.

Honey, you're 12. It's an awful, confusing, retched age. For you and for everyone around you. You feel too old for some things and too young for everything else. But you know what? It passes.We've all been there. The key is to just enjoy the space you're in. It's okay to still watch the Disney channel. I'm 23 - I Netflixed a cartoon last week and I still think fart jokes are funny. It's okay. Of course you need your friends - they're your friends and you love each other. But it's fine to want some time away from them and it's fine to spread out and make friends with new people. You'll grow and find new interests and new friends for the rest of your life. It's okay. And don't spend your time stressing out about a boyfriend. Again - you're 12. You'll have PLENTY of time to stress about guys when you're older. Trust me - you've still got AT LEAST 6 years left in school. Embrace the time you have now, when you can still be free of responsibilities. Compared to the rest of your life it's a very short period and it'll be over way too soon. Being a grown up is great and I wouldn't go back to being a pre-teen for anything, but it's still a time in my life that a look back on and am thankful that I experienced it. You'll be okay.

Well 12 is kinda young for a bf. I did have a bf when i was 12 but now that i look back it was way too young. i wouldnt' recomend that you watch playhouse disney unless it is with a little sibling or if your babysitting. Plain and simply ur a preeteen. It is hard to go through middle school. It is good to keep the same friends. If you have one good friend throught middle school you can survive. It will go by fast! You can survive without 1 good friend too. Just take it day by day. It is a lot of fun. Who said teens cant have fun? Teens don't need bf's either. Don't grow up too fast, being a kid will end soon. Your just growing up, things like this happen. Your a normal kid, don't worry about the future or the past. Just focius on today! Enjoy life! It's ok if you watch disney channel. It's normal. Just have fun. Good luck in middle school. You will survive it!

You -- are 12. Unfortunately, that is just what it feels like, for a while. It will get better -- and you will *hate* that someone just comes along and just says "Oh, it will just get better, don't worry!". But it will. Yes, you can still watch the disney channel (I still do and I am a LOT older than 12 :~). And if your boyfriend decides to dump you because you feel like a kid or feel like an adult or have a mood, then just find another one, girl. You are so young and have so much time ahead of you to find what is good and best for you. Use it!! And don't be afraid of what is happening. It is normal. Just relax, enjoy it -- and if you need more talking / writing, you can click my avatar and contact me at my link. Take care!!

Hey i am 18 and i still watch Disney. Next month will be my 1 year anniversary with my man. You are still young, there is no need to rush into having one boy for the rest of high school. You will never know who the right one is if you don't experience any of the wrong ones. I feel like i have made a lot of mistakes with boyfriends, but once i think about i haven't. The ones that i was really cared about are still my friends today, and the ones that i just thought were hott are really not worth it. I broke up with all my boyfriends and i am still friends with a few of them. One is friends with my boyfriend now, they hunt together. Out of all of them, two have broke up with me. And now, because i experienced those guys, i know that the guy i am with now is the one for me. You are too young to have just one boy for a long time. You are you, don't worry about how you feel. If you want to go and splash in the mud in just your panties, then by all means, make sure no one is watching and dive in. If you want to go shopping with your mom and have an adult conversation, than that is normal too. Don't try to grow up too fast, youth is a beautiful thing. You are beautiful, i know this because you know this. Good luck and don't worry about a thing.

nothing is happening to you except that you are still a tween.....and your not yet ready for all the emotional maturity that comes with teen years. Your still 12, so its normal to want to act like a kid......because you still are a child. Its normal emotional changes in someone your age. Just do whatever you feel like doing. At 12, noboody NEEDS a boyfriend. You may enjoy his company, but in 6 months you wont even remember his name or why you liked him in the first place. You have many years to be an adult.......but for now have fun with your friends and stop trying to become a teen so fast. Slow down and enjoy life. I still have friends from gradeschool and im 32 years old.

First off- you need to rethink the name you have given yourself. You are much too young to be know nby that type of name-and it could be dangerous.. Second, you are growing up-a "tween". My daughter is 15, and I still tell her the same thing: you have the rest of your life for boys....only a short time to be a "kid". Don't be afraid to enjoy something just because someone else might think you are "too old" for it. Boys will come and go, but good friendships may last forever. Your only responsibilities right now should be homework, family and fun. Enjoy it!! It doesn't last long enough.....

awww, i have been there and i know how you feel. my advice to you would not be to label a guy you are currently flirting with/dating your "boyfriend" quite yet. then you don't have to deal with a formal break up. when i was a kid, the guys would say "will you go out with me?" and if you said yes then they were your boyfriend. just say yes you would love to go on a date and hang out or whatever, but you don't want to be anyone's girlfriend right now. that's great you had the same friends as in elementary! you think that just because you start at a new school or grade you have to give up your old friends? they're still in the same grade you are!! anyway good luck, i can relate...i remember 6th grade and i'm 21!

Its normal to feel insecure at your age, i went through it! My best bet would be to just desregard any negative attitude you have toward yourself or your live and start enjoying yourself. As for your boyfriend, you never "NEED" a boyfriend, but they do help. He should be willing to understand what your going through and support you and your decisions. You have alot of growing to do over the next 5-6 years, and if he doesn't want to stick around, drop him! You're much better off. Don't worry so much about the little things though.

Hej kid, I am 28 and I watch Cartoon Network before I go to work. Stop worrying so much about your education and relationships - try to relax and have fun. There'll be plenty of time to worry later, when you start applying for student grants, car finance, proper jobs, flatshares,.. And when you start paying taxes youth is over in a flash. Don't be afraid to be a kid - be afraid to become an adult too soon!
