Summer

Every time I m about to meet someone, even my best friend, I plan what I m going to say in my head. I didn t realise how much I did it until today. I have problems with letting people close to me, especially boys. The idea of getting into a relationship makes me feel really panic-y and I shake and struggle to breathe. When I meet someone new, I get extremely shy and awkward. I m also really scared that my best friend only puts up with me because she has to. I try and be a really good friend but sometimes I feel as if it isn t enough. Can anyone help?

I have to admit, I m fairly young but he is only 2 years older then me. I ve been talking with him for a few weeks and I know him quite well, and that he is who he says he is so I m not worried about that. But I need to tell my parents because he wants to come and meet me but he lives quite a while away so he would have to stay over. I don t know how because they refuse to believe that people can be genuine online and he is who he says he is. Any ideas?

I have these periods when I feel really sad and not like myself at all. My mind goes hazy and I feel like a 'dead soul inside a live body' and I haven't been eating as much as I used to. I also seem to be sleeping more. Is it because I'm a teenager and I'm growing or something?

This boy I like was talking to me on facebook and we were becoming really good friends. We are also going on a month long trip to Tanzania next July with our school. We had a 'bonding trip' a couple of weeks ago with the people who are coming to Tanzania and we became really good friends then. He invited me to hang out with him while we waited for the coach because I left him with his male friend because I thought he would be bored or fed up of me.

We continued to talk on facebook and he recently found out that I like him (have no clue why) and now he refuses to talk to me unless its absolutely necessary. He didn't believe me when I said that I didn't like him because I wanted us to remain friends and now he said 'I don't want this to become a big deal'. What should I do?????

Sorry it's long.

I mainly like things like Divergent, The Maze Runner, Vampire Academy.

I'm into Fantasy, Supernatural, Romance (I dont read a book without romance) and occassionally books set in the future. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
