So, I’m an aspiring poet, and I need to get my poems out there. What advice would you give me to help get my poems to the world?
Here’s a short one of my poems, would mean the world to me if you read it =] It’s called “Love…”
At the beginning of this statement I was trying to explain, The reason I believe it is that’s driving me insane. The conclusion that I’ve come to is that no one is to blame, But you my little darling and I’m not sure if that’s a shame. Because to say it was a shame is to say that I regret, All the time we’ve spent together and the time when we both met. For the beauty that I see in you can drive the love in me, To take my thoughts to a place that makes everything so happy. Now I know that my emotions can never let me down, Because you are there my sweetheart to turn upside down my frown. The darkest days the coldest nights may sometimes cause me pain, But I know that when I see you next you will help my happiness regain. I have reached a height of happiness I thought I never would, And the one thing to make me happy is the greatest thing that could,
My 20th birthday is tomorrow!!! and I have no idea what to do for my bday! Any advice for a 20 year old?? I cant drink or do anything fun yet. I am in waiting room 2 now!
Dear Buck, HELP! Im stuck in the middle!! I am in a group with 4 friends. My 1 friend Bre has a BF and thats a long story of its own. She has changed for the worst since she’s been with him, she’s a hypocrite, and she doesnt recognize her mistakes. She gets jealous when I hang out with the other 2 friends but she has told me she hates them because she thinks they are doing bitchy things when in reality she is. I want the 3 of the to get together and talk it out while I mediate. Is that a good idea?
Dear Buck, I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY!!!! Problem is: He doesn’t want to be in a relationship. We’ve been flirting for the past month and it’s driving me insane that everytime i bring up a relationship he shuts me down. We already act like a couple and it’s stupid. What do i do? Also: Is it wrong for me to be jealous when he’s publicly flirting with other girls when he says he loves me? Love, Anonymous
hi buck i wanted your advice my mom makes fun of my with my brother to make him feel good and to make sure he dosent get mad it really hurts me tho she dosent take into account my feelings i ask her to stop but she never dose what should i do?
Dear Buck, I have feelings for a friend of mine at college, Emily. She has been trying to set me up with a friend of hers, Jessica, but it hasn’t really worked out(we have only met once) What I’m scared about is my best friend Jake. He avoided me and wouldn’t help me out when I met Jessica the first and only time(he later said he had feelings for me,he’s bi,but everything worked out after a couple of awkward weeks). He had been really depressed lately, but it seems that his friend Emily has been his savior. I’m scared what would happen to him if anything happened between me and Emily. Any advice would be much appreciated
Buck, I’m 16 and I’ve never done so much as hold hands with a boy. It’s really starting to annoy me. I can’t seem to meet anyone and if I do, I can never speak to them! What are some tips to meet guys and be able to talk to them?
Laura, I know exactly how you feel. Just be patient. Be yourself, and then the right kind of guy will come along. When he does, make sure he knows what you want in your relationship. Best of luck!
My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost a year now. Our relationship is wonderful and I enjoy being with her so much. My problem is with her mother. My girlfriend hasn’t come out to her parents yet and her mother makes all sorts of derogitory comments about homosexuals. My girlfriend has asked me not to tell her mother that I’m gay because her mother is super religious and would forbid me from being in her house. Every time she makes a comment, I tell her it is offensive to me and ask her to stop. I know I can’t force my girlfriend to come out to her mother but I’m tired of dealing with the comments. Any advice on how to deal with this? Thanks so much. <3
Dear Buck, I am 14 years old and my dad and I are falling apart. In the last couple years he has been a completely different person than he was growing up, he became very strict and yelled at me, my brother, and my mother a lot. Last November he signed divorce papers with my mother, and when she moved out he took his anger out on me. He would get angry about little things and start fights constantly, and still does. He would be very hurtful, and some of the things he said still bruise my heart still. His anger does fall in the category of what some would say Bi-Poler, and he is very passive aggressive. When he told me that he was dating a woman with three children, he and I completely broke apart. Fights would get so bad that I would lock my self in my room sobbing while he pounded on the door. I don’t feel safe when he gets as angry as he does, and when I try to tell him how I feel he says that I am making it up and crazy. I don’t think he can go back to the person he was, and mourn the loss of the man I you’st to call father when I look onto my dad now. I don’t know how much more I can take. My mom is furious at him for making me this emotionally distraught. I want to leave to house so badly, I can’t take the mental pain anymore. Please please get this message. How can I deal with the pain of losing my relationship with my dad? :’(
Dear Buck, Ever since I was 10, school has been pressuring me into making a career choice.I’m 14 now, and I still don’t know what I’m going to do with my life, therefore, I have no idea what my major should be in college. My passion is music, I can’t imagine my life without it. I play several instruments and I sing, but I have horrible stage fright and making it in the music business will probably never happen for me. Is this just a childish fantasy that I should forget about, or should I persue the only thing that makes me truly happy? And most importantly, do you have any advice on defeating stagefright??? Love, StageFrightened
I just wanna start this by saying that you’re a huge inspiration to me and have given me the courage to come out as being bisexual to my sister and friends. I’m 14 years old and just got my first boyfriend who has been my best friend for the entire school year and I am becoming sexually involved with him a little. I’m a virgin but in 7th grade I made a sarcastic comment about being with a guy who I had sex with. The whole thing was supposed to be a joke and the guy wasn’t real, but people believed me and I kept the joke going unwittingly. My boyfriend knows about it and thinks it’s real and it scares me to know that he thinks I lost my virginity when I didn’t. I don’t want to tell him it isn’t real and make him think I’m a liar, but I don’t want our relationship to be filled with lies and I don’t want to be considered a whore. I really need your help Buck, please? Cyberhugs! Love, Julia
My best friend and I have been going to different schools this past year. Since then, she has been acting very different. She recently started smoking– both marijuana and cigarettes. In addition, she is still on probation for stealing about 3 years ago. If she gets caught doing anything illegal she goes straight to juvie!! Ah! I really care about her and I know that this isn’t like her and is only doing it to fit in. Should I try to get her to stop this nasty habit or should I just let her do her thing and stay out of her business. Thank you SO much!, Sarah
Hey Buck, it’s Rachael, I’m a fifteen year old girl(turning sixteen next month), and I sort of have a problem. I used to hangout with my best friend all the time, but since summer started, she’s always busy and it seems like our friendship is slowly, but surely, falling apart. She’s been dating her boyfriend for nine months now and I’m happy for her, but she’s always with him, they hang out almost everyday. Also, she just started working and I’m really happy for her, but I want to see her more. She told me that she’s sorry that we don’t really hang out anymore, but I’m still sad about it. She goes to my school, but she wants to move in with dad because she doesn’t like her mom that much and she will start going to a different school. I don’t really have many friends at school, and I think it’s really going to suck without her being there. So I just want to know what should I do?… I’m just really going to miss her if she moves and I really want to see her more and I know I’ll see her even less if she moves and goes to a different school. I get really sad just thinking about us not being close friends anymore.
I don’t know if you’ll answer my question, but I really hope you do. Rachael. <3
Dear Buck, I’m a 16 year old girl; I live with severe chronic pain everyday for an unknown reason. I haven’t been in school in about three years. I’m a sophomore, I tried attending school in my freshman year, but I couldn’t do it, my pain is too bad. I cannot be on my pain medications while in school so I’m on bedside tutoring (this is where my teachers come to my house and teach me so I am actually getting a high school education). Since I am not in school I don’t get to talk to any of my “friends” anymore. Since I’ve gotten since only two people from my school have stuck around and my best friend of 5 years had ‘left’ me for her boyfriend. I’m very lonely I have a very hard time leaving the house but I manage to go over my boyfriend’s house for a weekend every few weeks which helps. But I miss very much having friends. The other person from school that had stuck around isn’t really my best friend, she is my friend but I can’t have to the same connection I had with the other friend. I need more people around me. My depression from being stuck in the house is becoming a lot more severe, I’m going to see a therapist soon and hopefully get put on some antidepressants. I obviously can’t connect with my school friends again, so I had stuck with some online friends but most of them are gone as well. All I have is my boyfriend who has stuck by me throughout my pain becoming increasingly more severe. I want to mentally become healthier which I know being around people again will help. Any advice on finding friends again after being isolated for the last 3 years? Thank you, I love your show and your advice<3 (sorry that this letter was rather long) -Rainybear
Dear Buck, Hi Buck!! :] So I’m really shy when I’m around new people or when I’m not with my friends. The other day I was with my friend meeting the kids on her block and I wasn’t saying practically anything. My friend kept telling me to talk but I didn’t know what to say, and she kept telling me too and told her friends that I was shy. How can I act less shy around people? Thank you!! :3
Hey Buck! I desperately need your advice! I am 13 years old and I used to act as a hobby, its the only thing I thought I was good at. Ever since a performance that I was in I have had 3 agencies contact me and they want to represent me. Before I met up with them I went to an acting class and the teacher insisted that I was awful and she was very rude to me. She picked at everything I did and at the end of the class she told me that she didn’t think I was ever going to make it as an actress. I didn’t do anything to offend her in fact I was VERY nice to her and she treated me like crap! Ever since that acting class I have had really low self esteem and I basically never leave my room. I have had many family problems for example a cheating father and an abusive brother. Acting was the only thing that made me happy and now I don’t get any joy from it. Buck how do I get my love for acting and my self esteem back?
