My best friend ALWAYS has to have all the guys like her. Well, if a guy likes me or shows any signs in liking me she will try to get him to like her. She brags about all her guys, and she tries to flirt with the guys that like me. Why does she do this? I can't talk to her. What should I do? I'll give 5's. Thanks. And if you have good advice I'll give you the name of my column so we can talk more. Xoxo
She probably does this because she's insecure, and she constantly needs to make sure that people like her.
I know that it is one of the most difficult things in the world to talk to a friend when they're treating you badly, but you NEED TO DO IT. It's not a real friendship without honesty. Talk to your friend in private about how you feel- but don't yell or get accusatory, because that will make her get defensive. Let her know that it's okay for her to flirt with boys, but that it hurts you when she flirts with the guys that are into you. She may get upset at first, but if she's a real friend, eventually she'll apologize and try to work on her behavior. If she never comes around, then your friendship wasn't healthy anyways.

How do I tell my boyfriend that I have AIDS. He wants to have sex with me but I don't know a good way to tell him..help?
As everyone else said, this is extremely serious so you need to be straight-up and talk to him ASAP. This is never going to be an easy conversation to have, but the longer you wait, the harder it was be.
Talk to him about it when he's in a moderately good mood, when neither of you are feeling very stressed or tired, and when you have plenty of time to talk about. He'll probably be hurt or shocked at first, but if he's a good guy, he'll eventually grow to accept it.
Good luck! I really hope this turns out okay for you and your boyfriend :)

my parents are so quick to gudge anything about anyone. they make jokes about all my friends and make fun of everyone. OF COURSE NOT to their faces but to me. and its disgusting and it makes me really upset when they tell jokes about my friends or my boyfriend or just random people they see. its terrible, and i am NOTHING like that. and i know your gonna tell me not to worry about it but i am. what can i do to get my parents to stop??!!
(talking to them hasnt worked AT ALL!!!)
well thanks for taking the time to read this and please help me out!!
Ugh, that must suck.
I know that you say that talking to them hasn't worked, but you should keep trying. Make sure they know how much it hurts you and that it makes you uncomfortable. Phrase it in the most RESPECTFUL way you can- try not to get angry or snap at them, even though it may be difficult. Parents respond best to their child being open to talk about their problems without being accusatory.
If this still doesn't work, tell them you don't want to be around them when they act like this. You obviously can't do this in the car, for example, but if you're just hanging around your house, say that you shouldn't have to listen to this and go to your room.
I really hope this helps, and GOOD LUCK! :)

Okay, so I was at this party one time, & this boy says that he likes me, & asks me out.
I had a BIG crush on him at the time, so of course, i said yes.
A few days later, he says that he was only kidding, & he didn't like me. He only asked me out because his friends dared him to.
On the last day of school, he asks me out... AGAIN. What am i supposed to do? Should i believe him, or not?
Don't believe him. I know (from personal experience) it's hard to admit that the guy you like is a jerk, but you have to accept that this dude is an ass. Even on the off chance that he's being sincere, any guy who would do something that insensitive is definitely not worth it. Tell him that he hurt and humiliated you, and that that's not cool.
Good luck, and I hope this helps! :)

Heey guys :D
HAPPY 666 (6/6-06) HAHA :P
Okeey, here's the thing, I just got a new bulletin board to my room, and I wanna make it cool!
What can I put upexcept pictures (already done that) is there anythikng else, any ideas to make it look cool??
thanks!!
What I did with my bulletin board is put up movie/concert tickets up there with thumbtacks. I also put on really fancy chocolate wrappers- I know it sounds sort of gross, but it looks pretty cool. If you're an artist, you could also put up a drawing or painting. You could also curl some ribbon and thumbtack it on, or you could even put some pretty pieces on fabric on it.
Hope these help, and enjoy your bulletin board!

Who sings that new song "Temperature"? Its a rapper of some sort I think but I dont know who...
As everyone else said, Sean Paul.
Next time you want to know who sings a song, it would probably be a lot easier for you to just Google search it. Or you could probably find it on the iTunes top 10.
Hope this helps :)

Ok, the sad truth is that I have TONS of clothes...tons of cute tops and lots of pants..but I can never put an outfit together nor do I EVER feel like I have anything worth wearing. Does anyone have any tips on how I can "whittle" down my wardrobe so i look stylish yet don't have so much clothes that i dont pay attention to
Pick a day when you have nothing planned (probably a weekend, unless you're already out of school)- you could even invite a friend over to help you out. Take out everything you own, and if there's anything that you KNOW you don't want, put it aside. Try everything else on and look in the mirror- if anything fits badly, put it aside. Then just go through the rest of your clothes and whatever you don't like or can't see yourself wearing, put aside. If you still feel like you have too many clothes, just pick out the things that go with a lot of things or that you really love. To help with this, you could even set a goal, like "I will get rid of 1/3 of my clothes," or "I will keep 15 tops."
Next, take all of the clothes you aren't keeping. You could either sell them to a used clothing store and buy some more clothes with the money, or you could even donate them to Goodwill, if you're feeling charitable.
Good luck! Hope this helps :)

I don't get the whole day of the devil, what do they expect he's gonna do? And my friend was like freaking out cause shes on her period and tomorow is the day of the devil, what does that have to do with anything?
Even if the Bible said that the devil was going to do something bad like destroy the world or whatever on 666 (I haven't read the Bible, but as far as I know, it doesn't say anything of that nature), he would have done it on June 6th of the year 6. 6/6/2006 isn't really that freaky. And even if the devil was going to do something evil, what would that have to do with your friend having her period?
Hmm. Hope this helps.

Out of all my friends if you were to ask them about me when were hanging out with our "whole group" guys and girls that im shy. i dont do it on purpose its just how i am i wish i wasnt like that. because all i hear about is how this friend hooked up with his friend but its never me. i mean im not into the whole hooking up thing but i mean i would if i liked the guy but im to shy to even get into that. i feel like im the good girl because when we do things i always make sure were not going to get into trouble. I bothers me all the time that im the way i am. they do know this, should i talk to like my close girl friends about it next time its just us together.. like how im always shy and dont know how to get over it. i hate it so much i dont know how to explain it. what should i do about it? anything i could do to "break out of my shell"??
p.s. my sister plays travel soccer where they travel to places obviously to play and theres this girl on her team whos brother was at a tournement this past weekend(only to one game though) and i saw him at the begining of the game and i dont know i wasnt like attracted by his looks nessisarily but like it was a feeling like "wow i want to talk to him and meet him" but because im so shy i didnt talk to him. he kinda saw me at the begining too i think but he was with his dad and went down to sit with him, but like after the game too the team was having their like "after game meeting" and he was looking like in my direction im not sure if he was really looking at me if you know what i mean but i hope he was. i dont know what to think what if wasnt looking at me i would feel like an idiot if i just went and talked to him and he had no intrest in talking to me at all. i really want to talk to him but i dont know how to not make it awkward. i know nothing about him other than his sister is on the team. they have a game tomorrow and im going to go to see if hes there but i have no idea what to do.
Alright, here's something to try whenever you want to talk to someone but feel nervous:
Ask yourself, "What's the worst that could happen? What's the best that could happen?"
Usually the worst thing that could come out of going up to someone and talking to them is they might not find you interesting or cool and you'll feel kind of awkward. The best thing that could happen is they think you're awesome, you have a lot in common, and you get a new friend/boyfriend. The pros outweigh the cons.
If you don't want to randomly come up to someone out of the blue and say "Hey!", you could try some of these ice-breakers/conversation starters:
-"Hey, can I borrow your cellphone?"
-"Do you have the time?"
-"Nice shoes."
-"Ugh, it's so hot/cold/windy/cloudy out today."
Or anything else along those lines. It's always scary to meet someone new, so you could even try to pretend they're a close friend of yours who you just talk to every day.
I hope this helped, and good luck!!! :)

for school we have to bring in lyrics to a song we like..and it HAS to be one that we actually like because we are going to be doing stuff with it but it has to be school appropriate..meaning no swearing,no "i wanna screw my hoes with all m money up in herr"
"I Can" by Nas is an amazing song...not only is it completely swearing-free, it's really inspiring and well-written.
"Old School" by Danger Doom & Talib Kweli is also pretty awesome. The lyrics are almost entirely clean and they're also really clever.
I'm also pretty sure that "Freeze" by k-os doesn't have any swear words either.
Hope some of these help...good luck :)

i'm going to gr10 next year and we gotta pick subjects to take. which one should i take? french or spanish? i live in canada so i guess french would be useful.. but i SUCK at french and i've never taken spanish before so they're going to start from like.. the stuff they teach you on dora the explorer so i guess i'll be okay in spanish.. but i don't know which one i should pick.. people say french is more useful but i guess i should get more people's opinions before i make my final choice. please help =)
As everyone else said, French is definitely more useful if you plan on staying in Canada for a while. You can use it and get more practice.
But if you would rather take a super awesome subject than one that's useful, I would recommend Spanish. I take Spanish and it's like my favorite subject. I don't know any French, but from what I've heard about it, it seems like Spanish is a little easier. And if you're bad at French, it might be refreshing to start new at something else.
Do you have any older siblings or friends? If you're still unsure what to take, ask someone who has taken either French or Spanish about the class. Ask if the teacher is good, if the class is fun, and if it's hard.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
Adios!

I have no idea what to do for my birthday! all my friends have these really awesome parites and i don't wanna be a copycat. I want to do something thats fun and inexpensive. Something that all my friends can enjoy. Another problem that I have is my birthday is in July and everyone is always out of town. Last year (16th birthday) 3 people showed up, one fell asleep at like 10:30, anohter had to leave at 11, and me and my other friend got really bored because there was nothing else to do but attepmt to find something decent on tv.
Thanks for your time.
My first suggestion is to pick a few dates when you're available, and send an email to all of your friends asking when they can come. Do this ASAP, before people make plans.
Here are some birthday party ideas:
-Since you have a summer birthday, you could totally go to a waterpark or amusement park. If you have a couple close friends, you could invite just them and it wouldn't be that expensive.
-What I'm doing for my party this year is inviting four friends over and having a "spa party." We're going to paint each other's nails and give each other facials and stuff. I've found that when having an informal party at home, it really helps to have activities planned. You don't need to make a fancy schedule or whatever, but it helps to have things to do planned.
-What one of my friends did was have a shopping party. If you live near a mall, you and your friends could just go crazy in the stores. People could just bring a little money to get stuff, and windowshop the rest of the time. It was a blast.
-One word: Karaoke.
-Another friend of mine had a party at a Lasertag place. I'm not sure how much it cost, but it was a ton of fun.
-Another summer idea: pool party. Even if you don't have a pool- you could just go to a public pool in your area. Or you could go to a beach and have a barbeque.
-If you have a moderately big house, or just one big room that you could move all the furniture out of, you could have a dance party. Invite everyone in your grade and make a couple mix CDs of dance music. Hang some streamers, put out a bowl of chips, and you're good to go.
I hope these help! Have an awesome birthday.

Would you say he liked me if
* He asked me to blow on his fake dice (like vegas)
* Stares in the eye sometimes like maybe 3 inches from my lips
*Smiled at me and laughed when we were talking about laughing
* Curious when I broke up with my boyfriend
*Came and hugged me and all my friends because he said it was a dare but my hug was longer
* I catch him staring at me and he itmediatly turns away
- I asked him out and he said he couldnt because he was extrememly busy with baseball which is true becase he plays on 2 teams so hes busy 6 out of 7 days of the week
Tell me what it all meansss pls
My guess is that he definitely likes you. Yay! Inquire about his schedule and find a day when he isn't busy with sports and ask him to see a movie or go out for dinner or lunch. If you're shy, you could always invite him on group date- see a movie with your girlfriends and ask him if he wants to come along.
Good luck- he sounds like he has a major crush on you. :)

MY friend is like relly relly relly skinny I mean she's thin right. My other friend is pretty thickish..I mean she has huge boobs and she's um overweight 4 sure. The problem is my friends, esp the thinest one, complains about her stomach. I'm overweight...and I kinda luk it in my school uniform.
They always complain "oh I luk so fat" "my stomach's getting huge" "oh if I eat chocolate i'll get diabetes" and it sorta sucks.
I'm not jealous of them because my stomach isn't huge it's jus a lil fat. It makes me feel bad because sometimes I'm down and they complain and complain and I get so upset. Plus I'm relly RELLY emotional.
Is there something I should do or should I jus act like I don't carE???
I have also been in this position, and yeah, it really sucks.
The best thing to do is talk to them about it, but without making it into a big deal. Try your absolute hardest not to blow up at them or get super angry- I know it can be difficult, but it will make talking to them a lot easier.
Just casually mention to your friends that it makes you feel bad when they put themselves down, and tell your skinny friend that she is super skinny and has nothing to complain about. Just say that although they should be able to talk to you about their insecurities because they are your friends, you would appreciate them not constantly complaining about themselves.
******
If you feel bad about yourself still, you could try to lose some weight. You don't need to go on Atkins or whatever if you're just a little chubby- just try to cut out the junk food and maybe get some more excersize.
Good luck with your friends, hope I helped :)

"What You Waiting For?" by Gwen Stefani
"Bubble Pop Electric" by Gwen Stefnai
"Thought @ Work" by the Roots
"Where's Your Head At" by the Basement Jaxx

"Puke" by Eminem
Hope these help :)

My mom smokes and it really grosses me out because I had the smell of cigarettes. I'm also worried about her health. What should I do?
A close family member of mine also has a smoking problem, and is trying to quit. I know how you feel.
Have you talked to your mom about it? If you haven't, do. When she's not too stressed out or busy, ask her if you can talk. Tell her how you feel, how you care about her and it would mean so much to you if she quit.
Do research about quitting smoking, and tell her what you learn. Encourage her to buy patches or Nicorette gum. If she agrees to try to quit, be supportive if her and remember that withdrawl from cigarettes can make people really, really irritable. If she needs to talk, let her.
About the smell: Tell your mother that you would really appreciate it if she would not smoke around you. Also, ask her to brush her teeth or use mouthwash after a cigarette. This definitely helps with the smell.
Good luck with your mom :)

I really want a sweet 16 party, but there's only one problem. I can't think of a theme! The past Sweet 16's i've been have just been at dance clubs with no themes, or with just all girls, i don't want that. I want them to dress the theme, and decorate it to make them feel the theme as well
Please list some theme ideas! I'm cluelesss.
You could do a RAINBOW theme! Yay!
Or you could do a Hawaiian theme, an 80's/70's/60's/50's theme, a pink theme, an Indian theme, or a pirate theme.
Hope these help. :)

I am about to run for Sophomre class President at my school. We are permitted to post no more than 20 9'' x 12'' posters. I want these to stand out, so I was wondering...
What colors make you stop and look?
Does big font attract you?
And any other information that you think would be beneficial to me. If you have any further questions, please submit them to my inbox-- Igotamonopoly.
And also, pleease note that I don't care what your favorite color is. Automatic one if you just tell me your favorite clolr without justification.
Thank you so much for helping me with my campaign!!
Big, bold font that is pretty but readable is a must. The main to think about with colors is contrast. A dark color like red, green, or blue with white would look pretty cool. You could also try black with light blue or green- it catches the eye AND it looks cool. I don't recommend doing neon green and hot pink or anything like that, because although it definitely stands out, it hurts people's eyes and is hard to read.
I ran for student government, made posters, and won, so I'll tell you what I did- I made copies of six different posters, each with a different picture of me. I put slogans on each one, like "Vote ____ for Social Chair! It'll do wonders for your complexion!", "Vote ____ for Social Chair! 'Cause she ain't no hollaback girl!", and "Vote _____! Because her name means 'good Social Chair' in Swahili!" They were pretty silly, but they stood out to people and, as I said, I ended up winning, so I had to have done something right.
Hope these help!
Good luck, I hope you win!
