I am 18 years old and I am
so confused about my Jean responds: Hi, I'm not sure what your problem is, but it's great that you recognize that your current behavior isn't exactly making you very happy. Realizing that something isn't right with the current picture is the necessary first ingredient in beginning to make changes. You are still young. You can change if you can come to understand what needs your current behavior is meeting. But to begin to understand what those needs are and how to get them met in healthier ways, my guess is you'll need a little coaching from a mental health professional who knows a lot about adolescents and young adults and the kinds of situations they sometimes get themselves into. I suggest you find such a person near you and ask for their help. A family doctor, a school nurse or counselor may be sources of finding someone like that, or you can check the Yellow Pages for family service agencies, or call your local United Way/United Crusade (charity fund) and ask what agencies near you offer counseling to young adults. Hope this helps a little. Jean. Disclaimer: Ms. Walbridge's
response to your question is |
life I did not know who to talk to so here I am. I find
myself in situations that can mess up my life. I have a boyfriend
for 8 months but I have cheated on him a few times. I met this
guy and he was dating my good friend. I liked him how was I to
help that he liked me too, so we started to see each other. He
broke up with my friend and so told her about me and him, but
before I told her I lied to her saying nothing was going on.
Now she hates me and then I had sex with him and I still have
my boyfriend too. The same day me and the new guy had sex I was
at work and the one guy I work with who I had also previously
dated too while with my boyfriend, well we kissed again and I
don't know why I just can't seem to know how to hold back and
stop my self. What is my problem?
