Hi, I'm 16 years old and I really think that I need therapy. I have a really hard time opening up to people, especially my parents, and I feel comforted by the idea of talking to someone who does it for a living.

I genuinely have no clue what's wrong with me, but I've been so so so confused for years now. I've recently started to think that I might be depressed, especially with personal things that have been happening for the past year and a half. I'm not gonna get into detail about why I think I need therapy, I just do.

Because I have a hard time talking to my parents, I feel super anxious whenever I think about telling them I need therapy, because it's kind of coming out of nowhere. I've tried to give them signs so that they would ask me if I wanted to, but they haven't.

I'm super nervous about this so please help me. I really need this but I literally don't know how to ask. Thank you!!

Hi, I'm a junior right now and I'm struggling to find colleges to apply to, and my top choice. These are my stats:

3.8 unweighted, 4.2 weighted

No SATs yet, taking them in May

PSATs: 1120 w/o studying, but I'm taking them again this October and have been studying for them

AP Seminar: 4

AP Bio: 3

I'm taking APUSH, AP Research, AP Lang, and honors calc (might self study and take AB test, school doesn't have it).

I also am on the varsity wrestling team (since freshman year) and I play softball.

I don't really volunteer, which I know is a problem. I'm hoping to work in some hours this year and the next.

I'm attending a month long architecture summer program next year at Roger Williams University (Saving up for it rn)

Idrk if this counts as a passion project, but I'm doing my AP Research project on how urban environments and the repetitive nature of buildings in cities impacts mental health.

I'm white and female, 2nd gen student

On paper, my parents make a good amount, but we live basically paycheck to paycheck.

I've lowkey been panicking because I feel like I've been underestimating myself for the past 2 years and focusing on less selective colleges due to the fear of not receiving enough financial aid. But now, I feel like I've done so much to be proud of and I really just want to find colleges that will give me the best opportunity after I graduate.

I want to go to somewhere in the northeast or southeast states that aren't TOO far from NJ.

I've been looking into Virginia Tech, Roger Williams University, and Marywood but I wanna make a list of at least 10 colleges, I've just been struggling to find them.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

hey, im a 16 year old female and i wanna drop a weight next season for wrestling. I'm like 10 lbs over what i wanna be and I have until like November, but I wanna get the weight off sooner rather than later and I also wanna maintain a good workout routine for a while. I only have a stationary bike at home, so what would the best workouts for me be? I eat like 2000 cals a day and im gonna start a 400 cal deficit soon
