 Walking down the hall you notice someone looking at you and you can't help it but look back. Who is that mysterious guy looking at you with a smile on his face, with his dark brown eyes, his dreamy looks, you blush hoping he was looking at you not at your friend. He suddenly gets up and walks towards you and asks for your name. What do you do? What do you say? What if he just wants to know? What if he asks he asks you for something else? The What if's go on and on until you suddenly answer with your name and he walks away. Did you scare him away? Was that the only thing he needed and wanted to know? The answers never come until you see him again in the library. He says Hi and asks you for your number. You slowly give it to him and hope he actually calls or texts. That night you can not sleep just thinking about him. Your first crush and you do not know what this feeling in your stomach is until now. He texts you goodnight and the endless conversation begins. 5 months later you and the guy are in a relationship now and everything seems to be going good. He asks you to go over to his house and you say yes. Once at his house he is pressuring you to have intimate intercourse and when you say no he hits you and tells you he hates you. Once you start crying he comforts you and tells you he is sorry but will not happen again, but he continues to hit you and insult you when you are not doing the things he wants you to. You think that by allowing this you are making him happy but your only hurting yourself. Will the insults ever stop? Will the emotional and physical pain ever stop?

According to loveisrespect.org  nearly 1.5 million high school students nationwide experience physical abuse from a dating partner in a single year. Also one in 10 high school students has been purposefully hit, slapped or physically hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend. This issue has been rising more and more every year and most of the teenagers getting abused do not report it. If your partner or a close friends partner seems abuse or he/she does not want to be left alone or are scared of their love partner let someone know. Do not be scared we all are here to help. First thing is first get help, yes it is going to be hard but it is the best option do not let yourself get carried away. Or if your the one getting angry please step away from people, relax, breath, and obtain control of your emotions.

Yes their is all types of relationships and yours might be one of the ones that are perfect. Yes these do exist. Your love partner motivates you to be the best you can and be successful in life. They encourage you to do positive things in life but most important of all they make you feel wanted and loved and that is what really matters. Just because you may not have someone now does not mean your never going to have one. Just maybe this year your true love will come and if it does not do not hesitate take your time and love yourself.

Depression Rising in Teens

It's 4 o'clock in the morning and you are still crying yourself asleep. Will this pain ever end? Will the feeling of loneliness and emptiness ever go away? You wake up after a sleepless night of crying and your eyes are as puffy as can be and no one seems to even notice. You get up get ready and start your day with out a sound of someone caring if you got up or not or even asking if you've eaten breakfast or not. Everybody is busy doing their own thing that no one sees to mind anymore. Sadness surrounds you and negative thoughts invade you but do not fear this feeling does not last forever.

According to teenhelp.com 20% of teens will experience depression before adulthood is reached. Symptoms of depression include apathy, guilt, memory loss, unable to make decisions, withdrawal from fiends, use of drugs and alcohol, rebellious behavior, mood swings, and lack of sleep. These symptoms are triggered by need of attention, communication, and love. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms do not hesitate to ask for help.

Treatment for depression include talking to a psychologist, taking medicine, getting involved, joining a youth group, volunteering, meeting new friends, going on a walk or run, and getting out there and expressing your thoughts. If any negative thoughts try to invade your space push them away with a positive thought. No one is perfect so why should we try to be? Please yourself and be happy. And whenever you feel like giving up just remember that you can accomplish anything you set up your mind to be and "Si se puede!"(Yes you can!)
