Hey Juliette and Dr. Swanson. I’m overweight and have low self confidence. I mean, from another person’s perspective I might have a good life because everyone says I’m nice and because there’s this cute boy that I think might like me. Though, I feel like I don’t have a good life. In the past year seven people very close to my family have died including my aunt with cancer. I also feel like I will never live my dreams and will never have a best friend. All this with me being overweight, I’ve been working out but it is sooooo hard for me to control my eating habits. When I heard the average weight for girls my age I just cried. I need help girls. I’m crying at this moment. Thank you for your time. -Eve (Read Answer)

Dear Misso, I usually wear my basketball clothes and skateboard clothes, because that’s what I love most. People only recognize me in those clothes, it's my passion. But I have a problem I sometimes want to dress up but I'm afraid what people might think and say. I don't always want to wear my skateboard clothes and basketball, I want to dress up like most girls, this issue is holding me back from dressing and buying and purchasing my clothes. Thanks Kim  (Read Answer)

I've been kind of feeling left out or sort of ignored by the people I know, mostly my mother. Example- If I got an A+ on a really important test, she wouldn't congratulate me or anything. I'm not sure how to deal with this problem. The feeling of no one caring has actually increased that I've been depressed lately. If you could give me advice on what I should do that would be great! (Read Answer)
