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?
