Hi, my name is Cat and I'm 22 years old. I live in various cities in the UK since the city where I study and where my family live are different. I'm currently just out of a relationship and enjoying the single life for a while. I don't know that I am qualified to help people but I'd like to try. I've had a lot of experiences in my life and despite being quite young I'm always helping my friends with their problems. I'd like the chance to help all of you too. Feel free to private message me anytime.If you do however, please include some details of your problem as I answer a lot here and can't always remember specific problems. With big hugs, Cat xx

A.   26 October 2008: In my experience parents will always find out if you don't tell them and then the trust is ruined for a really long time. I would tell them you want to go and think logically about how to argue your case maturely for if they say no. There is a ... (read in full...)
