Im sorry you are going through such a terrible time but its nice to know you know what you are doing wrong and the first step to fixing the problem is admitting the problem! So thats good ;-) Now Im not a counsler or anything but Im guessing..and please don't be offended b/c we all go through it in our lives at least a few times but my guess is that you like or are in need of attention? You say it doesn't matter if you come off boring but maybe the problem is that you feel the need to talk about something all the time or think that doing these things will cause attention and you feel the need for that b/c of it lacking at home or maybe with a boyfriend/girlfriend or just in general? I dont know. But I do know is that you should really talk to someone about this! Please email me if you ever want to talk. Im a great listener! Good luck ;-)

Alright, the first thing you have to realize is that you can't fix this by "snapping out of it" or "finding God" or "just stopping". What you're experiencing is real and painful and pretty isolating.
The second thing that you have to know is that you're not a bad person for what you're going through. This isn't something you can control any more than a Diabetic can control their blood sugar by thinking good thoughts. This is a real illness and you need to be treated by a Mental Health Professional.
What you're experiencing, while not common, is also not unheard-of and there are treatments. It will probably require a Psychiatrist, medication, a Psychologist and possibly a good support group.
The sooner you seek out treatment the sooner you'll start to claim the life you really do want, a happy normal one. You can do this. You've taken a fantastic first step by realizing that what you've described isn't normal or healthy. The next step is to ask for help from the pros!
Good luck, I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Well u no u probably want all this stuff cuz u feel u need attention and ur family doesn't give u the pleasure u need so u go looking 4 it in the rong thing so this is normal 4 a teen so I advise u to go to ur parents and really try and go shopping w/ ur MOM and find something to do w/ ur DAD and if u can't do that then just probably ask ur self questions like why am I doing this?DO I really want to be pregnant?What will happen if I become an addict?And I can see ur already asking these questions...

Talk to a professional. In my personal opinion, you need a serious freaking wake up call. It is never good to lie about things that can kill you. Think about it like this: How can anybody tell if your lying or telling the truth? When your actually in trouble, its gonna really hurt when they think your still lying. At the heart I doubt you really want those things, so don't think it'll last forever. Things change, people sometimes change.

My guess is that you just want some attention...as does everyone! You're not a bad person. Just realize that in your case, the attention you get will not be positive. Eventually you will get caught up in lying about a lie, etc.
Try being truthful on purpose. What you will see is that the attention you get is just as good...and you will feel much better inside.
You're not a bad person!!!

people usualy lie to make their life seem more interesting as for having bad thoughts mayby you need some kind of mood stabilizer. or you feel guilt about the lying. either way try and stop and if you can't seek help from mental health.

How do we know this the truth or another lie?
see your family doctor first and talk about this then
you may need to get into therapy

weird, i kind of have that, too. like reverse-fantasies, where something icky happens. maybe you feel like you have more problems/distress in your life than would normally be caused by the common experiences you've had. or you feel like there's something weird in your life that you can't explain with real events that have happened to you? like you feel sad, but you feel guilty for feeling sad because you think you should feel happy because nothing traumatic has happened to you?

you no you should spend quality time with your MOM and DAD bcuz once your older and have a family (hopefully) then u will nevr have the time to talk or hang out with your parents i think that u r asking for attention or acting out so that people will pay attention to you this is VERY normal for teens so try and spend time with your family it will help you ALOT with your problem.

Wow. You sound like you have some issues. Maybe telling your doctor will do some good. Can't hurt can it?
