Why do you feel like someones watching you or are you just paranoid?

That would be simple paranoia.

A psychologist would say that your conscience ( that little guy on your shoulder ) is telling you that something you are doing or have done is wrong and the paranoia is the outward sign of guilt.

Because I am being watched. lol. I'm serious though. Every night I see this strange man walking by my house and it scares the living crap out of me. (No I'm not halucinating.) And the very next morning I cant see someone watching me I just know deep inside someone is looking right at me. "I live in a creepy neighborhood."

What to do when peer pressured?

Peer pressure is really tough and everyone goes through it. Well, I think that generally, if you know that what you are being pressured to do is wrong then don't do it. It is really a matter of what you know is right and what you know is wrong. Saying no can be hard but no matter what, if you choose to do the right thing than the outcome will benefit you in life. If you aren't sure about what to do than talk to your parents, they are there for you. If you don't feel like they will understand then go to a teacher or someone you really trust.

What to do when your friend threatens you?

They're probably not going to do anything, however, I'd be careful. I'd suggest telling your dad. Like I said, I doubt they'll do anything as not many people who are sane have the bottle or would do such a thing for hardly no reason.

Just be careful around them, maybe you just need to talk to them and overcome the problems you have.

What percent of teen addictions are caused by peer pressure?

No. Peer pressure makes it sounds like they are "actively" pressured to smoke. And that, frankly, is not the case. I started smoking, not because of an active pressure from friends, but a passive one. It was to gain entrance in a community of friends. All of them would go outside to smoke, and you don't want to stay inside...so you also go outside...then you begin slowly, etc, etc, etc....

1. Disagreement - most conflicts start by a disagreement or an arguement of something minor.

2. Irrelevance/exchange of words - Something or someone is usually brought into the arguement to fuel the conflict even more and gives them something else to argue about

3. Stress: People become very stressed/agry and aggressive at this stage, where it is crucial that nothing offensive is said.

4. Action - something is usually broken, damaged or destroyed depending which follows on from the stress and frustration.

This is just a basic outline of what a conflict consists of, depending on what the conflict varies on how many of these points are covered.

My friends think I'm using them. What do I do?

The most important thing you can do is talk to your friends, and work out why they think this. Did you say or do something which was misunderstood or is their any rumors going around. If you struggle talk about this sort of thing to the whole;e group maybe try ask one member and see why they think this or if the would talk to the rest of the group.

Did your friends tell you this?? or are you assuming, maybe YOU have the wrong idea, or maybe it is only one person who thinks this.

Just remember you might not have the full story and your friends might not either. And importantly don't forget their your friends so they will understand what ever you have to say. just try speak to them sooner rather than later, it will only get harder the longer you leave it.

Does hitting a boy show you love him?

it truly depends what kind of hitting it is. punching him in the face? no. that's just cruel, but if he did something to you, go for it! however, some hitting IS playful and will definitely come across as flirting. take your pick.

How do you know if a boy is trying to impress you and tries to make you look at him?

When he tries to speak to you a lot, make you laugh, sometimes guys do ridiculous things to get a girl to look at them. But honestly you should go for the ones who actually deserve to have a girlfriend, other than ones who just want one for the sake of it.
