Q: mind you, im 18 years old.. and my guy friend is upset because awhile back ago his girlfriend broke up with him. hes become suicidal and everything, and i was always the one he can come talk to about all of his problems. well, recently, he got really upset with the girl, so he wanted to me IM her and tell her that im going to beat her up. i told him no, because im not going to beat her up if it has nothing to do with me. thats immature. everything about it. so he makes a fake sn and IM's her pretending to be me and talks a whole bunch of bullshit. which pissed me off when i found out, but i said nothing to him. anyway, the girl IM's me under my real sn and i told her i didnt say any of that shit. so now, my guy friend called me a "bitch" and said that he thought he could trust me. im pissed, but not really.. in any other situation, if someone calls me a bitch, theyre gettin beat the fuck up.. but hes my friend, so how should i go about this situation?

Yea your right you guys are old for this. Well first of all, you shouldent feel bad. Because you said no and he should have respected that! And why did he even ask you to tell her you were going to beat her up. How immature is that! Just dont do anything for a while..maybe he'll forget about it. Its also messed up how he had to pretend to be you and all..So id be mad at him but im 14 not 18 so idk :) hope i helped a lil:)

Q: In my old school, I wasn't all that popular, and this year I want to be way more popular than I was before. I want to know how to act and how not to act and stuff like that. Please help ASAP!!

Be yourself. There is no good way to act or not to act. Most people like the "popular" people because they have a nice personality. So dont be fake cuz no-one will like you if your fake cuz u usually can tell..be yourself and who cares if your not popular? as long as you have friends thats all that matters

Q: Hey Every1,
Sorry I've been asking more questions then answering. But, you know "BoB"? The guy that I STILL like? Well, his GF...I'll say her name is Sally. So Sally really likes Bob and Bob really likes Sally. But Bob's friend...Kate likes Bob. So Sally came to me for advice because she thinks that Bob likes Kate as well. I told her that they have been friends for a long time and that Bob really likes you (Sally). Then she told me all the stuff that they do. Like everyday he sits by her at lunch, and how he doesn't hug her everyday, or tell her she's pretty. I personally think that she's just scared of loosing him, and she's making a big deal. So, Sally talks to Bob, and says him what she told me. Then she said that I hate Kate. And that I hate her because I'm Sally's friend. Which isn't true! And now Bob is mad at me. I wrote him a letter, told him I'm sorry, and that I DON'T dislike his friends (Mostly Kate), and today I asked him if he hates me. And he said, "no I don't hate any of my friends." What should I do? Sally is totally ruinening everything. She took the guy I like, and now she has made him mad at me! And we are suppose to be in love in one of our plays. And we have to kiss. How can he kiss me if he doesn't trust me, and is mad at me? Please help me!
~MiSSc~

Seems like sally knows you like him and doesnt want you to take him away. That kiss in the play is gonna reallyyy piss her off.. its jealousy thats why shes lying.

Q: i asked a guestion like 1 week ago n you havent answered it yet.i was jus wonderin mabye you have a lot of post to answer or i did sumthin wrong. Its about my bf not talkin to me n stuff...

Hmmm?? I answer every question I get. I didnt find the question anywhere on my posts.. Sorry about that..But if you ask again i'll help you!

Q: ok i'm grounded for a month ( no joke its been 2 weeks) and my frndship with ma best friend is fading away. i yell s0o much i lost my voice for 4 days and evrything. at this point i dnt wahna live nemore ! i'm losing it ! helpp me

Well at least you can go on the internet. Before you know it..you'll be ungrounded! It shouldent be that bad because I know people that have had lots of worse problems than you and everything worked out fine. Just give it time, and everything will be over soon! And talk to your friend about how your worried about losing your friendship with her.

Q: duz anyone know if crunches really make u lose weight???? or do they just make ur stomach flatter?

They make the top of your stomach more flatter and they also help you burn calories.

Q: hey ive never been kissed, but at my friends party we're playing 7 minutes in heaven. i really wanna get my first kiss from the guy i like (whos invited, but has a g/f whos not) so i dunno what to do!! if u could help i rate =)

Have one of your friends say to him "i dare you to kiss (your name) so there! for ur truth or dare game.

Q: How do you get someone to like you? Its sounds like a dumb question but i dont know what to do. Whenever i am around a guy and i like him, i have a funny way of showing it. I have never had much luck and never really had a boyfriend who was serious. Do you know what i can do?

Flirt a lot, touch him and stuff..compliment him..laugh a lot when he makes a joke..even if its not funny lol. good luck!

Q: I recently met a guy at school. EVERY SINGLE TIME I see him in the hallway he says hi. And today, he walked me to my bus. Those are the good signals I'm getting from him. But today, he said hi but walked right past me in the hallway-and he wasn't really in a hurry. I would think if he liked me he would talk to me. And today, he didn't sit near me at lunch. I am getting mixed signals! What do you think?

Hmmm maybe he was just busy today or forgot. Wait a few days and if hes still acting like this..then forget him!

Q: There is this boy that i love oh so much and we've been dating for a long time and we both go to different schools. there's this other girl though, that flirts with him alot and im scared of him liking her. what should i do??

Talk to him and ask him if he likes her. If he doesnt then dont worry...you gotta trust him!

Q: Ok..My family isn't the best in the entire world.. but their there for me.. Well the one person that has been there for me for like ever is my cousin.. lets call him george.. He's getting sent away.. and I don't know what to do! I'm loosing a family memeber.. but it feels like I'm loosing my best friend.. What do I do?

Sent away where? i know you'll miss him but theirs the phone, email, IM and stuff. So dont worry you could still talk to him even though it wont be the same. Just get his email and number and stuff and you can talk to him. Sorry aboutlosing a good family member..

Q: Sorry if this question has been asked before!!

You see, i wash my hair everyday, and it always smells soo good like my shampoo! I let it airdry, + it naturally goes curly.
The thing is, i straighten my hair; a lot, with the CHI [ceramic hairstyling iron.. it's my saviour!! :D hehe] my hair isn't dead, but it always smells kind of.. well, burnt i guess. So my question is, how can i get it to not smell like that? lol. It's kind of embarassing because people are always playing with my hair, and if i can smell it, i'm pretty sure they can too. Is there any kind of product you can put in afterwards to give it a nice smelling scent? Some sprays i've tried have only made it frizzy :S

thank you in advance guys!!

Do hot oil treatments, go to a salon and ask for one..It helps ur hair out!

Q: Why do poeple shave down there? I've just alwasy wondered that. And what does it do in terms of sex? Does it make the experience diffferent? And doesn't it depend on the guy if he likes it shaved or not?

No it doesnt make any difference guys just dont like the hair down there...so thats why ppll shave down there so the guy they hook up with doesnt freak out..

Q: one of my good guy friends seems like hes into me and stuff.. and i keep thinkin about kissing him n' stuff like that- should i make a move? or ask talk to him about it and say somethin lyk u kno u want a kiss?!.. i really wana be friends with benifits with him but idk how i should approach that whole area with him?! *help plez*

Suprise him and just kiss him. Guys love it when the girls make a first move.So go for it but make sure he really likes you.

Q: ok here's the deal... i'm 14 years old...FRESHMAN!!!.... and i realli realli want to find a boyfriend... but i keep falling for the players... they're always so nice and funny and cute... i just can't get away from them...
then there'z these...other...guys that are totalli not cute at all, but are realli realli nice... what should i do?

Well even though ppl say looks arent everything. Thats not entirley true because I'd want a bf that was nice to look at..Just be patient, the right guy will come..i kno it sucks to wait!

Q: My ex-boyfriend cheated on me, twice. When we broke up, I had no idea he had done this and when we got into a huge fight he told me. I feel so hurt, worthless and betrayed. He was the only boy I ever truly loved and he had told me he felt the same. We've been talking now, and he says he still loves me and wants me back. His sorry's aren't taking away the heartache but I still love him more than anything. I don't know if I can trust him yet and he's cheated on other girfriends. Do you think he could really mean it this time? I can never seem to move on from him and he regrets cheating completely. What am I supposed to do or say?

I dont think you should go out with him. If he's done it once, and twice! He'll do it again. he's not good for you. But you guys could still be friends!

Q: ok.. im gettin mixed signals from wut i think.. bur my ? is that.. there's this guy ( we'll call him TIM) but ne ways tim is lyk a really good friend of mine, and well ne ways me n' him are lyk unseparatable from wut sum ppl say but the onle problem is that one of my best friends lyks him, and so im in a tough spot- and i think i like him- but i dont want to at all, but i mean i would go out with him if my best friend stopped liking him because hes a great guy,really hot, and we're always flirting n' stuff but she doesn't mind because she kno's that i dont mean ne thing by it... he always calls me and is always hanging out with me but im not sure if he likes me or not since he wont tell me who he likes ( he just moved to were i live about a month ago) and so far i've been his bestest friend and hes told me that so im deff. getting mixed signals!..... can sum1 help me out on if i should like him- or shouldn't and if i should how should i approach him about him possibly liking me?!..
* THANKS SO MUCH IF U REPLY TO THIS*

Just tell him you like him! Even if he doesnt say anything he wont stop talking to you or anything. I think you should tell your friend you like him too..so just incase you guys go out she wont be shocked. hope i helped!
