Hey Josh,

How can I get my boyfriend to cheer up? I’ve been with him for over five months and he’s never happy. I tried to be there for him, but it never seems to end. He always tells me how much his life sucks and it’s really draining to listen to him. Despite this he’s still a nice person and gives me thoughtful gifts and stuff.

But yeah, I already have depression and he’s not making it much better. I’m scared that if I break up with him now he’ll hang himself or something. Help!

Hey Josh, My Parents Hate my Boyfriend

Hey Josh,

I dated this guy for 6 months and my parents seemed to be totally cool with him and like him and all that good stuff. Well then he broke up with me in January and I was totally devastated….

BUT we started talking a while back and everything is all good and we have realized that we love being together. HIS parents love the idea of us being together and are very happy. Mine on the other hand think that I am acting crazy for taking him back and hate the guy even though I am happy.

How do I convince my parents not to hate him?

Hey You, My Parents are Getting Divorced

Hey there,

Let’s be honest. Divorce sucks. Especially when it’s happening in your own family. If you’ve dealt with the divorce of your parents or have helped a friend work through it, sling some advice to Taryn to help her get through this difficult time.

Hey Josh,

My worst fear is currently coming true.  About a month ago my parents told me that they were getting a divorce.  I have been terrified of that happening ever since I was about 4 years old.  I’m stressed and don’t want to have to choose which parent to go with.  

I need help.  What do I do?

Hey Josh, How do I deal with a mean girl?

Hey Josh,

I’ve got a problem. And my problem’s got a name. It’s Emily.

For some reason, Emily has decided to make my life a misery. She insults me to my face, tells my friends I talk about them behind their backs, tells people lies about me, and tons of other fun stuff.

Well, recently, I realized I really liked my best friend (which was awkward at first…). Emily found out and went around telling everyone that he was disgusted and freaked out.

What do I do about this girl? I’ve tried telling her to leave me alone. I’ve tried pretending she isn’t there. But this chick is out to get me for some wacky reason

Ahh! I’m going to pull my hair out!!!  She’s driving me loony. Help!

Hey You, My Boyfriend’s Becoming an Alcoholic

Hey You,

Kelly needs some wisdom. Since you have so much of it, why don’t you share? She’ll be grateful, your mom will be proud, and you’ll be happy (since giving is better than receiving and all that crap). Everybody wins.

Hey Josh,

My boyfriends becoming an alcoholic & I don’t want to see it happen to him. He’s already a stoner & i hate it so much. Smoking on the other hand doesn’t bother me as I do it as well. But I can’t just sit here and let him ruin his life & throw away everything he has.

Please help.
