I have a problem. I have an HP computer that my father gave me on my last birthday. It was a great gift. And at first it worked very well, I was able to search the Internet quickly and easily. For example, when I was looking for something on Google I found it fast. But after a few months it started to run a little slower every time I used it, and there were ads I had not seen before. I tried to fix it on my own, and I failed on everything I could think of. Does anyone know the phone number of a technician or does anyone know how to fix it? If I continue to try other ways, will I reach it or is there no solution to my problem? What should I do?

I can't stop worrying about things. Every night, before I go to sleep I lie awake worrying about the next day. If I go to bed early, I still wake up tired in the morning because I can't get to sleep. I worry about everything. For example, if I have a test the next morning, I worry about the test, or if I have an argument with my friends, I worry about my friends. My mum says I will stop worrying so much if I do some exercises such as stretches before I go to bed. But … when I tried, it didn't work! What should I do?

My problem is that I can´t leave my house!
Every day when I wake up to go to school I don´t want to go there because I am ashamed that everyone recognizes me because of the accident I had in the stairs at school.
If I have a test at school I have to disguise so that people do not recognize me.
Every night before I go to sleep I talk to my friends by WhatsApp. They told me to paint my hair and cut it, or go to a different school.
If I still miss school, they will not let me in anymore, and if I change school I will lose my friends.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Hi! I have a very bad problem:

I can´t go into the swimming pool.

Every time I go to the swimming pool, I think there is a shark that wants to eat me. If I swim fast the shark swims fast too and If I swim slowly the shark swims slowly too. I become very nervious and when I touch the wall of the pool, the shark disappears. I feel very bad and scared when I am in a swimming pool. I know that I should stop going to the pool but it is required because it´s a school subject and If I go to the swimming pool this week I will kill myself. PLEASE HELP ME! What should I do?

Hello!
My name is Sofia. I have a problem with my hair. I can´t stop worrying if my hair is inflated. Every day, I go to school with loose hair. And in the middle of the class it starts to inflate and my friends say no but I don´t believe them, then I make myself a runner and then I have all the ugly hair. Now I'm ashamed to go to school with loose hair.
Sometimes, if I don´t have a hair piece and I have to leave my hair like this, so it makes me want to tear it off.
If I don´t brush my hair everybody will laugh at me.
What should I do?

Hello, I have a problem. I cannot go to sleep because when I want to go to sleep I start to play and I cannot stop because it is an addiction. I think I should not charge my cell phone in the day so I cannot use it at night but if I do that I will go crazy and I will freak out. I asked my parents and my siblings for help, but it did not work. They took me to a psychologist and told me that if it does not get better they will punish me. Guess what happened? Yes, exactly. I did not get better and they punished me by taking my cell phone away. But it didn’t work. I started searching in Google how to solve my problem and found this forum, so here I am.

What should I do?

Hello! I'm going to tell you about my problem. What happens to me is that I can't study for the tests because I can´t concentrate well and I am very distracted. My mom always says to me: “you should study for the test”, and she's right. I want to study but I can’t, I'm distracted by everything. If my sister is singing I sing with her. If my mum cooks, I steal some of the food or if my brother plays with the play station I play with him. Why can´t I study!? What should I do to study?Please, I'm desperate! I think that if I study in the school some teacher can help me. This is so important for me because if I pass my parents will buy me an Iphone.

Bye,

Uma.

I went to a place with my parents to restart my computer, but it was impossible .If I repare the computer I will be happy.The first thing I thought was to tell a friend of my sister who knows about computers, but my parents would not let me go alone to the street. The second thing I thought about was buying another computer but I was going to lose everything. What should I do?

Hello! My name is Martina.
My problem is that every time I see a horror movie I can’t sleep. I can’t even move alone inside my house. If I go to my bed and tried to sleep I imagine all the ugly things that can happen to me, and if I don’t sleep I'm scared all the time. One night when I saw Chucky with my brother I was so scared that I threw my doll in the trash and then I couldn´t sleep for a week. I was watching a movie with a friend recently. I shouted so loudly that the neighbors came to complain. I have to overcome this fear. What should I do?

Hello, I am Mateo Carvajal, I need help. Last week my father gave me a laptop from his work (he doesn’t use it), but my sister wants to use. I told my mother but she didn't care, so I took it to my bedroom. And another time she told my mother and I had to leave it. I complained a lot, days after days and my father let me take it to my bedroom. A day after my sister got in to my bedroom and played in the laptop, should I put it a key? What should I do?
