Dear i_luv_hot_boyz,
Okay listen up ghetto gurl! What I'm hearin' is that both these peeps were your friends... this boy was a friend, not your boyfriend. Aight? Cuz, if they're both your friends, you should be happy for them. You need to lighten up and be more supportive of their thang. But, if I'm wrong and you're sayin' that this boy was your boy... that's as wrong as Britney and Justin. They're obviously all about themselves and who needs friends like that? But suicide? Nuh-uh. C'mon gurl, these two ain't worth spit let alone your life. Your value system is outta wack. This kinda thang can happen - and does - quite often. I've been there myself. You feel bad and you feel betrayed by your friend, but trust me, this will pass. What you need to do is not worry about who isn't lovin' you and start lovin' yourself. Treat yourself real special and set your sights on some new talent. There's bound to be more than one hottie in your hood. Yup, I'm talkin' distraction - there's nothin' like it for healin' your broken heart and wounded pride.

Dear Dish-It,
My friend wants to commit suicide and wants me to help choke her with a rope. She hates life and is so miserable. When I see how sad she is I actually think that maybe if she does it, she will be happy in heaven. I don't know what to do. Maybe I should just kill myself too so I would not have to see this? Help me.

Dear funkygirlz950,
This is really serious stuff. Your gurl, she sounds very sad. The thing is - peeps with suicidal tendancies are sick. (Assuming, of course, that your friend isn't having problems at school, like bullying.) They actually have a real disease like diabetes or arthritis. What I mean is, she may have a problem with the chemicals in her brain... an imbalance. Too much of one chemical or not enough of another may be causing her to feel sad and pointless. And when you're hittin' your teens, and your body is changing, it can be even more outta wack. If you really wanna help your gurl out, you need to get her some help. There are many crisis centers throughout North America and many other countries. A great first step would be calling a center and asking them what you should do to help your friend. Another thing you could do, is talk to your mom. I know you're probably rolling your eyes, but mom's can give some awesome advice. If you have a good thing with your 'rents, tell 'em 'bout your friend and see what they say. As for you gurl, you don't wanna kill yourself do ya? from the sounds of it, you're a passionate person. You care too much to give up on your friend or your life.

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure, but are too scared to ask the 'rents? Don't be scared to Dish-It. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might wanna use a secret nick when you write in. That way, no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day, so she can't answer 'em all. But keep checkin' the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
