Q: teenage stress
asked by: tiredkid1 on January 15th, 2008

I have random gray hairs on my head. I'm stressed all the time. I am 16 years old, a junior in high school. The stress derives from becoming emotionally attached to friends, not in the sense where I need them and I must hang out with them, but where I become so close to certain people that they become a part of me. My best friend is female (I am male) and she has been having a hard time with my things since I have known her (roughly a year). I have been there the whole time, which sounds fairly classic and normal, but our relationship grew to such an extent that I need her, and I need other people to. I love them, and although I am often told to cut back on supporting them and focus on myself, I cannot. They are part of me, and it is inevitable that I shall be there for them until I am forced away. Is there anything I can possibly do to reduce stress? I do fairly well in school, hold a 20/hr. a week job at a software company, and enjoy hanging out, playing poker, and going out to eat. I am fairly normal, and nothing else causes stress in my life. Any suggestions?

do you have a self esteeme problem? or a problem with trusting certain people? because these 2 things sound like a root of your problems. i cant really say much except for the fact that you need to slowly start letting go. not letting go in the sense of "bye bye" but letting go of this emotional and mental attachment you have.

Build your self confidence and learn how to be happy with yourself- not other people! Sounds like you are doing well, but work on being happy with yourself. Find things to do apart from her that you like to do- a hobby or sport or something. Know what I mean?

You said you enjoy hanging out, playing poker, going out to eat.

Do all those things, but invite someone else (who's not her!)

Doesn't have to be a girl, just someone you can have fun with.
