This boy I'm fond of and I are going to be doing a singing duet for our school's talent show. We just haven't decided on a song yet. Anyone have any ideas? Preferably cute songs not rock or anything of that nature.

P.S. We both play guitar if that helps (link)
theres a perfect song im thinking about but i cant think of the name but it goes.. Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up in the morning when the day is blue.. im pretty sure its by the beatles


My boyfriend and I go to different schools. Before we started going out, we started talking about 2 months ago. Before either of us had feeling for each other, he told me he was going to prom with a girl from his school but they are 'just friends'. So last night, was his prom with that girl. I was wondering, was it wrong for him to take her when i'm his girlfriend? I know they are just friends but people have told me that he was being a jerk by taking her instead of me. So what do ya'll think? (link)
i think it fine.. and it shows he keeps his commimites.. im sure he didnt want to blow her off after planning to go together.. and remeber the less u know the better ;)


i gotta cutting problem im 15 and a gurl and a few of my friends are getting mad at me for it. ITs so hard not to cut though like when im cuttin i dont even care cuz im so mad and its gotton really bad. Like im afraid that one of these times im gonna get so madd im gonna end up killing myself cuz its like i just dont care but the next day i really regret doin it. I'v tried everything i could think of to stop but nothing works. SO my question is does anybody know ways to stop cutting (link)
i have a cutting problem too..well use to i had to go to a hospital and yadda yadda yadda but anyway they told me to keep rubber bands with me and any time i feel like cutting just to snap them on my wrist and its been working and its the only thing that works so i suggest you try that

my friend constantly copies everyone, and changes her opinion to match everyone elses. she lies just to be the saem as everyone else. it annoys me SO much, and i hate it. how can i tell her how i feel?? (link)
i have a friend just like that.. i've told her once that she doesnt have her own style and shes following people she got soo mad and me and we didnt speak for like a week. you might be able to say something like "didnt you like __ a while ago and now you like hate it/them" then she might realize that she is changing alot for other people


I'm worried about my friend, she's involved with a guy that makes a fool out of her every chance he gets. i try to tell her that she should just leave him alone but, she wont listen. should i just let her be and sit back while she's being made a fool of? (link)
some time you just have to let your friends find out the hard way.. maybe sitting back will be the best thing cause then she might come to realize whats going on


Every time I go on a date with a guy I like they give me a peck on the cheek and say goodnight. I've tried kissing them and hugging them and inviting them inside but they never come in! I've barely made out with a guy and I can't figure out why. I can get plenty of guy-friends but none of them want to be anything more! I'm not fat or ugly, I'm just getting horny and frustrated - and I've even told one of them so. He tried to give me advice and I was like no I want to be intimate with you and he just kissed me and left. (link)
Well most guys have probally been told not to move to fast with girl or get pushy with them... so they're trying to play it safe and not drive you away, i suggest you tell them that you want more and you are ready for more, it will probally make them happy and best of all you happy

hope i help

(link)

*Names have been changed. My friend ... lets call her Sara* is 17 turning 18 in a few months. Every day we sit together on the bus and lately it seems like she's been talking about her mom lately and how mean she is to her. I didn't think anything of this really. I mean, she probably did something wrong and her mom punished her. You know how teenagers are ... they tend to overreact sometimes. But today, when we got on the bus in the morning she seemed really upset so I asked her what was the matter. She started telling me this. Sara said it was her, her mother, and her little brother *Josh. So Josh was drawing all over the windows and Sara made the comment "How old are we now *Josh" And her mother freaked out, told her to shut the f*ck up, grabbed her by the hair and tried to pull her out of the car to make her walk home and was hitting her and stuff. And she told me how her mom makes her sleep in the garage and takes away her dinner and stuff for being bad. I feel really bad for her and want to help her, but she doesn't really want me to say anything because she doesn't want the police to think that shes the one like hitting her mom or something and she doesn't really want to move out since shes so close to being 18. I've told my mother, and my mother told me to talk to someone at school to get help but i'm not sure! Someone help me and tell me what you think is the right thing to do.

(link)
well i had the same problem except i was the one getting abused.. i told the police and all they said to me that was a parent has a right to hit a child if they need to. my mom was so small every time she would hit me she couldnt make a mark so i had no proof and looked like a liar. i think shes right about almost being 18 and to just let it go, you could also tell her to mancapate(sp?) herself which is soemthing where you become a legal adult before 18 im not sure how you do it but it could help.

i think its really great that your taking such a concern in your friends and i hope i was some what of a help to you if you need to talk to me just ask me anything you need to


I know my boyfriend REALLY likes me. To him, I am his number one priority and I even think he is ditching his friends so he can have more time with me.

Now, he is a pretty nice guy but he always wants me to kiss him or makeout with him. He's 14 and I know that at that age, boys hormones are racing! I can't blame him for wanting to because I know everyone feels that way sometimes.

But I'm not sure I'm ready for making out, especially in school. I don't think he is either. We both just got our first ever kisses this year. He is so nervous around me at school so he tells me to take the lead when kissing him. But I don't want to be the lead! I can't handle all of this responsibility because if I mess up, I'll feel stupid!

What should I do? Should I talk to him about this? What if he breaks up with me? (link)
if he wants to like make out with you in school and you dont maybe you guys could meet half way.. like instead of totally making out just a peck on the lips.. and i dont think youll mess up with kissing.. just go with your instinks(sp?) and he shouldnt break up with you over something like that and if he does then he just wasnt worth it


okay so i'm really flat, but i feel like i need to wear a bra, but i donn't know how to tell my mom that without making it awkward! what should i say? when should i say it? i am kinda uncomfortable with the whole idea so i just need some ideas of what to say! thanks! i rate 5's! (link)
i felt the same way when i got my first bra.. what i did was tell my mom i needed new underwear then i found a cute underwear and bra set and asked if i could have it.. and she said sure no problem.. so maybe if you do something like that it'll work

hope i helped

well my hairs naturally wavy/curly so after I shower (at night) I usually scrunch it with some gel. But when I wake up, my hair flattens out and I lose my curls. I cant stand curling my hair and I was wondering if theres anything I can do to not make it flatten out or what to do in the mourning to fix it? thanks (link)
heyy

i have the same problem.. i have very curly hair and a couple of times ive tried to leave them in at night but they flatten in the morning.. what you have to do is get a shower in the morning.. ive also tried just wetting it in the morning but that hast really worked for me.

so the best thing to do is just get a shower in the morning

hope i helped!

Do u think im too young for sex? I WANT TO SOOOOOO BADDDDDDDD! uhhhh..hes 17, but he promises me i wouldnt get pregnant if we used a condom in he took it out before he cummed in me..is that true? (link)
no one can tell you if your too young or not..

but heres my advice, if your going to have sex at such a young age you should probally do it with someone your age or a year older.. some guys, for whatever reason, like to have sex with younger girls so he could just be using you for sex

so do want you want and be careful!


Am i pregnant? im going to take a pregnacy test! but i wanna know do people think i am?! I havent had my period since December 31st (new years eve)!and today is febuary the 4th! my back is hurting, i get really tired quickly, If i walk up the stairs i get tired out, I at all the time, My neck as been hurting alot, My stomach is hard and bigger!! and the last time i have had sex was 3 weeks ago. i use to do it like every weekend. so i dont know how long ago it was!! (link)
sounds like it.. but just wondering, how old are you, and were you having sex with the same guy? i hope you dont mind me asking


Hey i wanna lost 7 pounds. I weigh about 135-138 pounds. I work out and stuff but then I go and weigh myself a few days later or even a couple and i still haven't lost any weight. Its like impossible for me. Anything i do i cant lose weight. Im in sports but thats not helping i work out 4 times a week. But i stay the same weight. Is there any tips on how maybe i could get more motivated maybe to wanna do this cuz im about to give up because im not losing or gaining any weight! (link)
well i lost about 7 pounds in a week once! but that was because i got sick for about a week...but it was awesome! i came back to school and everyone was like omg you look soo thin! lol sorry but any way the only time ive ever lost weight was when i was sick and i bearly ate anything... so i suggest you go on a diet... not like a specific diet just dont eat junk or after when you eat dinner!


okay. Sorry if this is long but.. I just went to the Doctor's yesturday and he told me a bunch of things wrong with me like..
*I might have,
*Lime Disease
*Mano[spelling?]
*Dislexit
*I have Asthma
*I have Dislexia
*I have ADD & ADHD
*I have to go see a shrink

Okay wow alot of things known in just one check up, right? . Well idk what to do. Becuase i might have depression and stuff. And i feel like a problem child in the family since my brother doesnt have anything wrong with him and neither do my parents. Which sucks. So i guess i just need someone to talk too and i just need help.

PS. I'm 13 if that changes anything? .
(link)
ive been to skrinks and all and i guess it helps a little bit.. but what really helps is talking to kids your own age who are going through the same thing as you and knowing your not the only one in this world.. if you need to talk to me you can always im me at ooyeaitsme oo and btw im 13 too


OK here how it is i was offered a modeling contract w/ Aeropostal for 300,000 thosand a year, but here is the deal

i have to loose 80lbs by the end of may, they think of have a very pretty face perfect height right figure, yada yada you know?!

thing is i dont know how to do it, and i need to get started on this ASAP and i really really need this, i mean comeon 300,000 DOLLARS!!!! please help me now i am 220 now its only 80 lbs it will not only boost my self confidance jump start my career but also make my health much much better, wellall the weight taken off. plz help me. i seen them do it on the biggest loser, how did they do it?!

just please anyway possible i dont think i could go anerxic or bulimic tho (link)
ok well i cant stick to a diet at all so if your like me this is what i suggest you should do to loose weight

-first make a goal for every week(e.i. loose 3 pounds by the end of each week)
-then watch what you eat no junk what so ever but everything else is fine(what i do for not eating junk is say to myself,"do you want to have a slim body forever or a minute of something sweet")
-only eat 3 meals a day, nothing inbetween so kind of make time of your breakfast,lunch, and dinner
-dont eat after 8! this is very important i know people who have just stop eating after 7 or 8 oclock and have lost weight
-replace anything you drink with water(if you dont like straight water you can get crystal light packets to put in it)
-at night do crunches (e.i. do 10 everynight the first week then 20 the next the 30 the next so on and so forth)

Hope i helped, and i wish you the best of luck with this! ill be looking for your picture when i go into aero!

if you have a ? or anything just ask!

ok i have know this guy for like ever and we have never dated and we jsut hang out he has dated like all of my friends and now he says that he has had a crush on me since like forever and well i started dateing him like a week and go and now he say that he was to have sex with me my mom all was says that u need to betogeter for like 3 weeks and stuff but i mean could i just have sex with him since i have know him for ever but then my mom would be mad at me for ever some one plz help (link)
Ok at 14 you should definitely wait more then 3 weeks it doesnt matter how long youve known him.. but then again its up to you, if you think your ready to have sex with him them go ahead, but if you want to wait just camly say to him "Right now i dont feel comfortable having sex, if you really like me i hope you can understand and wait till im ready"

Hope i helped!
