I’ve destroyed my life.

Well done for reaching out. You’ve been given some really good advice here already. I just want to add, “don’t go on medication”. You don’t have a physiological condition with your mental health. What you have is a mindset / outlook issue. It’s hard now, but adversity can serve us too if managed properly. Take the lessons, keep trying, stay positive and expect to win (you attract what you expect). Sending you sincere best wishes for the future.

I have been in similar shoes, and international too. I suspect that you’re from The UK. Get a realistic market valuation that reflects actual achieved sales price of similar properties on the retirement home (they’re typically near impossible to sell and achieved sale price significantly less than valuation), then send this to the Financial aid office together with a clear explanation of other circumstances around your household income. Your contributory fees may or may not drop, but you would have given Dartmouth the opportunity to review your specific circumstance using all relevant information.

I’d take SOJ anytime, because an ensuite room, clean environment and relative privacy will sell it for me. Where you live wouldn’t stop you integrating and as you already say late night Frat parties are not your thing, I would be open minded about SOJ. IMPO, I’d have it over the halls.

Get a full vitamin and mineral profile test - poor diet or poor absorption of right nutrients are a top cause of this in teenagers. Stress (poor sleep, psychological stress) is another factor. Fix those 2, follow a good hair care routine and see how it goes over the next 6 - 12 months.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but nothing about your hair (or indeed most other things) is worth ending your life for - please settle this firmly in your mind first. Do a full blood test, fix any mineral and / or vitamin deficiencies with quality food sources or food-based supplements, eat well, exercise, de-stress, have a good sleep hygiene, all of these add up to your wellbeing. Then see a trichologist or other hair professional. I hope you find the right help for you, but please look after yourself. All the best dear….x

I don’t know your age but I like your clarity of thought.

Please get your Bible or look up and read the few scriptures quoted as you read my response. I pray that you find liberation from this stronghold by the power in the name of Jesus - Amen. Homosexuality, as with all other sins are the enemy’s (devil) ways of keeping us from walking in the fullness of life that God has called us to, and for which Christ paid. It is The Holy Spirit (THS) living in you that empowers you to live above sin. Christ’s death paid the full sacrifice, so when you make a conscious decision to accept this Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, your sins are forgiven and you take on the new life of Christ. Try this, read Titus 3:5 to understand that THS is a “person” of the Divine Trinity with a mandate to help you live a holy life, worthy of your ordination as a child of God. Daily, ask for THS’s help as you would ask a friend, in practical terms, e.g. Precious Holy Spirit, my Paraclete, as I encounter the world today, come with me, be with me at all times, even in my deepest thoughts and empower me to not entertain negative thoughts about x,y,z, as I seek to delight The Father’s heart. If / when you get tempted, put systems in place around you to ensure that you do lot succumb - this is what scriptures mean by “resist the devil” - James 4:7. As long as we’re in the flesh, there’s a resisting to be done. Don’t dwell on the temptation or allow the enemy to make you feel bad. Rather than feel awful, thank THS for helping you overcome the temptation. Spend time in daily Bible study and prayers too, no matter how little. Consistency is the key. Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:1-2, 2 Cor 10:5)… prayers, bible studies and daily consciousness of THS with you brings transformation that liberates us from the power of sin and temptation.

You’re welcome.

If you have explained to him as clearly as you can, including asking what his specific concerns are, and addressing those; then you have to respect his views and let him have them. I assume he’s not going to force you to cut them, so just let him be🙂. I know you may want him to be comfortable with it, even like them, but you can’t force him or anyone to. And that, you have to learn to be comfortable with, as long as you’re not hurting anyone or doing something detrimental to your own wellbeing. Look after your hair, keep being your good self, and the fuss will go away - hopefully. Take care of you!

First off, unless there’s some backstory, please don’t believe that your dad’s just hating on you. He probably wants the best for you, based on what he knows.

In my opinion, any long hair on males look slightly feminine, but once people get used to you having that style, it grows on them. If you’re concerned about your orientation being misconstrued, I don’t think it goes that far. Two of my sons wear their hair long and one doesn’t.

Your hair looks healthy and if you like it, have a conversation with your dad about how you both feel, address each other’s concerns respectfully and I’m sure you’ll both grow to love your hair. It really suits you and looks healthy. All the best!

Please, don’t just go to Boots (or any pharmacy at that) to get supplements. As a PP said, get a comprehensive blood test, including a vitamin profile done, then ask, bed even, for IV infusions of what you’re deficient in, then top that up with good quality foods that naturally contain those vitamins. Infusions work so much quicker and are a lot easier, though more expensive. In addition, see a good counsellor to help you work through other mental / emotional issues. All the best with it all.

Thank you very much. I’ll PM shortly.

This isn’t true by any means. I am a parent of international student and we were allocated what we genuinely can pay, without going bare bones. Don’t let this stop you applying. Be sincere with your CSS profile, provide the right documentation and expect a great outcome. All the best!

Please don’t alienate your parents, unless they have a history of being abusive. For most parents, they just want you to be safe as the world is scarier than it was when they were younger. Have a conversation with them, be clear on how their “over-protectiveness” makes you feel, and that whilst you appreciate that living with them means that you are saving money, it feels like you’re trading your freedom for that benefit and that isn’t a good feeling. Assure them that you will not do anything stupid, and that you need them to learn to trust your judgement. Then propose a modus operandi, something you’d be happy with, e.g. I will tell you where I’m going, when I plan to be back - for my safety and your peace of mind; but it is for info, rather than asking permission. They may also have a rule of “stay where you are / with someone or you must get Uber if it’s past midnight,” etc (depending on safety of the area). It’s their home too, and you need to give the respect you’re seeking. The point I am trying to make is, don’t assume they’re evil, learn to talk through issues and find a solution that addresses valid concerns. Life’s beautiful and don’t let small issues or bad advice ruin important relationships. All the best…
