I have this large and painful zit above my eyebrow that just won't go away? It's been getting worse day by day. I've been using natural stuff that helps get rid of zits, but it's not working :/ and it's really lowering my self confidence ;; plus makeup won't even cover it. ugghh

i know how that feels, but you're honestly really lucky. i've struggled with the worst acne ever since i was ten. i get huge zits on my cheek, chin, forehead, and basically everywhere on my face. in fact i actually have one right above my eyebrow right now as well. nothing works for me so my only option is makeup. my chin is the absolute worst though. it's covered in both scars and new zits. my whole face is really. i've just had to learn to live with it. i get expensive makeup, which is the only thing that covers it. i absolutely hate wearing makeup too, i really don't see how anyone can stand putting it on for fun.

but yeah. i'd give anything to have clear skin, or even close to it. nothing works for me, so i just have to resort to makeup and accept how my skin looks otherwise. i do wish you the best of luck in getting rid of it though, and just want to let you know that if most of your face is clear, definitely appreciate that.

knew I shouldn't have come out to my mom as bisexual
she hasn't talked about it much but just a few minutes ago it came up and she started getting really angry about it. Basically the whole "do you even know what that MEANS?? You'll be over it in a few years anyway", "everyone is going to think you're disgusting", "how do you KNOW if you've never done the nasty with anyone?" and "it's unnatural", all that jazz and I'm just
I shouldn't be surprised? I'm technically pan but told her I'm bi because I knew explaining the concept of pansexuality to her would be utterly useless
But I have been home sick for 4 days and was literally already crying over the amount of crap going on this month- I have to apply to college and then as soon as that's over she's gonna drag us on a move all the way across the country so I'll probably never see my friends again- and now this to top everything off, and I'm such an ungrateful child because I didn't want to listen to her telling me off for this and told her to go away
There's literally no way to make her understand or accept this?? She doesn't hear 'I am capable of loving a person regardless of their genitalia and it's something I am comfortable telling my friends', she hears 'I AM A GROSS FREAK OF NATURE WHO FLAUNTS IT BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT'. The idea of this sort of thing being a part of your identity and something you can be proud of to try to make the world a better and more tolerant place is completely alien to her. I'm just... I'm genuinely upset. She acts so disgusted by it. She didn't react like this at first so I thought it would be okay... She made some jokes about it, it was pretty lighthearted, all good... In retrospect it feels like she was mocking me and I was playing along.
Once we move to California, I swear, I am going to find myself a girlfriend purely out of spite.

After about five years, I finally mustered up the courage needed to randomly go up to my crush and just say hi to him but I, being my usual smooth self, almost managed to trip and fall into a pothole. I mean, I sure as heck tripped, not subtly either. But he either didn't see it or decided not to say anything about it which I'm grateful for but still doesn't make the situation much better. Well, there's my daily dose of failiure.

How do I tell my parents that I like someone? They still like to see me as a child but as an older teen, I've got crushes. I just don't know how to tell them and if I do, I'm worried about their reaction since they're the type that are all like "no boyfriend until you're in your twenties, at least," but I don't know whether they're serious or just half heartedly saying that and I'm really starting to feel alone. It hurts seeing so many of my friends in relationships while I'm sitting there alone, seriously craving even the slightest form of affection. I just feel so darn isolated. Like I have no one. I just want to hold hands with someone every once in a while. Maybe even get a hug. But I can't. What do I do?

If you don't really know how to tell your parents about a crush, just remember, you don't really have to directly tell them. You can drop some hints or talk very fondly about him. Perhaps that'll raise their curiosity and they'll just ask you. Then you can play the whole "Mayyybbbeee" thing or just be honest and tell them why you like him.
OR
if it's better for you to do, you could start by telling either parent first, whichever you're most comfortable with. Pull them aside, take a deep breath, and tell them you're interested in someone. They can talk to you about it- how you feel and what they think of it, and from there have a good meaningful discussion of this part of your life.

For me, I would always tell my mom about my crush when I was younger. I never just came out and said I liked him, but I talked about him all the time and always had to include him in my story of what happened at school that day. She pretty much figured it out from there.
You could always do that too.

I still haven't told her of my first boyfriend, but my current boyfriend I couldn't hide from her at all. I thought she would be mad or something, but I guess because I'm older she was supportive of it. I can't really say much about dating while younger, as I always kept it from my parents in fear of what they would say.
But if I were my younger self and I really wanted to tell them, Id probably ask them what they think about me starting to date.
