Age 15 - Loneliness
"I wonder how other people feel when they get lonely because I think so it’s kinda feeling like it’s normal but I don’t think it should be. I pretty much did everything to be a good friend, I learned how to be a good listener, how to protect others, be that good academic weapon, help them when they need any, never joked about anything even when sometimes they did about me but I never did it. I won’t say I’m perfect but yes I’m still learning. I sometimes think that there must be something I lack as a friend that’s why no one wants to take the initiative to be first one to ask or be the one to text first.
But slowly, I kind of got so much busy with life that I stopped thinking about it. I started to get into academic and sports more than I was before to keep my head up. So yeah, sometimes, the perfect life you dream may not go as planned but u can still be a good person at the end of the day and thank God."
Age 15 - Feeling Behind In Love
"All my friends are in successful and long term relationships and I feel like I’m failing. I don’t wanna rush myself into a relationship which is gonna fail but man it’s like I’m always alone. Especially when they have a bf to text and call. Genuinely what am I doing wrong."
Age 13 - The Distance Between Admiration and Belonging
"In school, I keep hearing stories of seniors talking about us juniors. I try to ignore them but honestly, as an elder sister with no older figure to look up to, I always take their words to heart. I really want to have a relationship with them as I really admire them greatly, but now it just seems impossible."
Age 17 - Expectations & Exclusion From Peers
"I actually despise being an NCS student going to a local school, theres so many expectations like being sooo good in english or your parents being in a low paying job. i can hear the people gossiping about NCS students in general and it kills me that they think my chinese isnt good enough to hear them talking absolute sh!t about us. i realize i will never be apart of them and the same with my own culture. i cant wait to leave this city."
Age 14 - Leaving To A New School
"i’m transferring schools this year and i’m absolutely nervous about everything, i’m leaving all my friends behind and i’m unknowingly headed towards a new school where i don’t even know anyone :("
Age 16 - Losing a Lifelong Friendship Over a Single Mistake
"I’ve been friends with this one person since we were 7 yrs old. Up till now, we’ve had fights ,small and big, and she’d always tell me I was the one she’s always found for advice. Then we once at school during a school activity preparation, she was feeling unwell and I didn’t go and comfort her cause I felt awkward as I felt I was part of the reason she was down. Now she says that I was never there for her and at first I took the statement upon myself blaming myself for never being there for her… know that I’m rethinking it ,except this situation ,I was always there to hear her out. When she went through her toughest time I was there, and I went through apologizing her and blaming myself (she also did apologize) but now we don’t talk anymore… if there’s one thing I could change that would be to have never took upon the role that I had in this school activity because I think all bcz of that has our relationship come to an end."

Age 14 - Wanting A Relationship
"i’m gonna crash outttt, ik i’m currently 14 and situationships or relationships in general are too early for my age. i’m just really curious and i really want to explore more different perspectives of dating so i could get experience tbf. i don’t want to say this as if i do not want to have long lasting relationships but at my age, i’m just scared that there wouldn’t be genuine relationships that could be kept long as that’s what i’m looking for. i literally do not know what to do😭"
Age 14 - Being Consistently Bullied
"I am an International student who is being actively abused by my friend. I tried taking on combat sports however, they are way taller then me (Im 5'3) and always lose a fight. Every day, even when I try to hide away from them they always find me and steal my money. I don't wanna tell my parents cause they are gonna get mad at ME instead of them. I dont know what do to next. I try to study but my grades dont reflect my academic effort I put in and with the constant fighting my mental conditions are detiorating. Any tips in the comment?"
Age 19 - A Toxic Relationship
"I was in a relationship for almost 2 years with someone who was very controlling. He did not allow me to see friends, pressured me to get his name tattooed early on, and later told me how to walk when another guy accidentally bumped into me. When I said I felt disrespected, he called it “small sh*t” and refused to apologise. We broke up and reunited multiple times but the same controlling behaviour and lack of accountability kept repeating. I finally ended it for good because I knew the pattern would not change but deadass i would go back if he just apologized to me"
Age 13 - Being Left Out
"i feel so disconnected from others its like im always left out i cant understand why everyone can find their own people whether its in relationships or friendships i always feel left out and disconnected from everybody else whether its pair work or group work im always the last option this goes the same for friendships and relationships i feel very unlovable and unappreciated"
Age 17 - Feeling Behind
"I'm in highschool struggling, all my friends are in relationships, talking to people, getting asked out, going on dates, while here I am just that 1 guy in the background with no planned future, no close friends, no chance at any relationships, and nothing to my name. Sometimes I wonder what I should do or if I should do anything at all or just leave."
Age 13 - Having A Main Friend
"i feel so disconnected from everyone i dont have a main friend it seems like i cant never find love or friendships i feel like im the odd one out all i do is cry all day"
Age 15 - Inevitable End of A Friendship
"i really don’t to lose this friend of mine. but i know its inevitable. but i really want to tell them that they mean the world to me and yes, i’ll be happy for them the day they find their true love. But i’d prolly cry at the same time. Cuz they were someone who clicked with me instantly and its hard losing a close friend."
Age 14 - A Secret Relationship
"I am a 14 years old girl who is currently secretly dating a boy at school without telling my parents. I know my parents won't let me date right now but i think its a bit too late to back out. My relationship is quite public at school among friends and teachers but it's very unstable between the 2 of us."
Age 15 - A Complicated Situationship
"My so called boyfriend and i have been together for 3 months, and i feel really happy with him. But everytime I see a photo of him and his ex i get really insecured, they met for 2 weeks and he asked her to be her boyfriend with bouquets of flowers, but it only lasted 5 days. But for me, we’ve been together for 3 months and i don’t even have a label."
Age 14 - Following A Break Up
"Me and my bf just broke up mutually, and I think it’s my fault because I might have hurt him accidentally. We’re still staying as friends and I think thats the part that hurts most. Combining with pressure from schools and arguments with friends and family, it’s been the toughest time of my life, and I have no idea what to do with my life, I feel like I might give up."
