Dear Panel,

I am Amanda. I am only 15, yet feel 35. I am a very sensitive person and are hurt very easily. In the past I have had a VERY BAD reputation and am overcoming it quite well. I know I deserve much better, but I don't want it.

Chris Has Somewhat of a Drug Problem

I have been sleeping with Chris for over two years now. I think I am in love with him. He is 18 and out of school. He has a somewhat of a drug problem, and no job. He is very temperamental and has bad mood swings.

Jesse Is Better in Bed

A few weeks ago, my friend Jesse got out of jail and we started spending time together,a lot, and at that same time Chris was telling me that he wanted to spend time with me. Well, I ended up staying the night with Jesse a few times and we slept together. Jesse is 23! I don't have feelings for him, but he was better in bed!

Chris Has Very Little Feelings for Me

Chris treats me like shit and Jesse lets me treat him like shit. Chris said that he has very little feelings for me and that all he needs to hear is that I did something with Jesse and it's over. Me and Chris have never really dated – just *****d.

I Can't Live without Chris

I think he hates me and just sleeps with me to hurt me (be an asshole when we're done). I can't live without him. I don't even like sex. I just do it so he won't be mad at me.

I want to tell Jesse it's over. But I can't hurt him.

I slept with Chris last week, I'm happy that he isn't mad at me anymore! I can't do to Jesse what Chris does to me!

I want to tell Chris how I feel, he can't tell me how he feels, but he can tell my friends.

How can I get him to talk to me?
