There's this guy at my school, he's an 8th grader and im a 7th grader. I really like him, and im 99% sure he likes me back. We hung out alot during the summer. he's always looking at me everytime i take a glance at him. he's super hot and i really want him to ask me out, and i think he might on valentine's day. how do i answer? and , what if he doesn't? worse part is, his dad is our P.E teacher!!! i think he's on to us, wat do i do? plz help!(there's 2 questions, sry.....) (link)
Ummm, if he asks you out just say, yeah id love to, or whatever else your heart feels. If he dosn't, make sure he dosn't have a girlfriend, and ask him out. Maybe he wants you toask him out...just say, will you go out with me? As for his dad, icnore him. Noboy can tell you who your allowed to like. If he listens to his dad, then he's a never mind. then move on. good-luck!


So, i had sex today. and i ended my period a little over a week ago; well me and the boyfriend didn't use a condom,so he busted his load all in me. should i be worried about becoming pregnant? (link)
Well, ya know what... Im sorry for giving advice, but YOUR the one who did that, not me. Ok? ANd your the pregnate one. NOT me. Another thing, is if you knew that you could get prego, then WHY did you ask th stupid quistion in the FIRST place?


so, like, probably about a month ago i started cutting myself. now, i can't stop. it has turned into an addiction. i can't hide it anymore, i wera like tons of hair things on my wrist, but it still doesn't fully cover all of the cuts and if one accidentley moves, people are like omg what is that?! and i always tell them i axcidentley burnt myself. and i have been going to the doctor ALOT lately because i'm really sick and they don't no what is wrong with me and so they always check my body and stuff, and i have been getting I.V.'s and stuff and the nurse just pulls up my sleeve and see's it and looks at me then just acts like she didn't see it because she no's. so, i have been trying to stop, i really have, but it is so hard because i like to do it so much. it's not like im really doing anything bad to me, they are harmless little cuts that barley bleed, so what i really want is to no how to hide them! anyone who can help will be well appreciated! thanks. (link)
If you don't want anybody to see the cuts --don't cut yourself-- there is no other way, unless you are planning to wear long sleeves, hairbands and intense amounts of coverup on your wrists for the rest of your life. And you ARE harming yourself, even the smallest cut indicates that you are hurting yourself, your hurting yourself physically AND emotionally. You are trying to convince yourself that cutting is nothing bad, and that even though you barely bleed, nothing is going to happen to you...but one day you could cut youreself to deep, and then what? You shouldn't hide your feelings, speak to someone, tell them what's going on. This is not healthy, and I know that what I'm telling you is not what you want to hear, but you have to talk to someone, you have to stop inflicting pain upon yourself. You have soo much more to live for, cutting may take the pain away temporarily, but in the long run, all of your emotions are there, always, unless you stop and seek help.
If you need anymore help or anything just inbox me, please do the right thing :]
Good luckk


Please help if you can... Lately I hate myself. I hate who I am and everything I do. Everyone sees me as a happy person who loves her life, but inside I'm torn apart. I cry nonstop anymore when I'm alone. Everything in my life goes wrong. The one person who I always trusted to love me and like me for me unconditionally(ie MYSELF) ... has given up on me. Yes..I've given up on myself. One of my best friends moved away a few months ago... she never let me know how to get ahold ofher... I just gave her my number and she said she'd called me... haven't heard from her since. Now my absolute best friend is moving. I don't know how I'm going to live without her. She's the only person who has every believed in me. After she leaves I don't know what I'll do. I just feel like killing myself anymore... And I can't even do that right... because I'm so afraid of die ing that i couldn't do it. I have a feeling this is what depression is... which is what my mother suffers from. She just tells me not to tell anyone, because they will just want to give me pills. I told her I was thinking of killing myself and she just said no youren ot... I don't know what to do. What can you do when you start feeling like you're all alone in the world? thank you so much... even for just readin all of this. (link)
Awwww oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way and that both of your best friends are moving away, but you should really talk to someone. Just because your mom is telling you not to tell anyone, that is NOT a good idea at all. You should talk to a teacher, guidance counselor, psycologist, psychiatrist or other family member. Depression is serious, and it can become a major burden to you and the people around you. Not telling anyone about this, and keeping your feelings bottled up inside you is going to make your life even more of a living hell, and who wants that? And killing yourself, isn't the way to go either, just think of all the people who will miss you and the effect it could have on lives besides your own, everyone would be devestated. I'm listening to you, I want to help you, but you have to help yourself. Please talk to someone, call this number:
1-800-273-TALK (8255)
--it's free of charge and you recieve help immediatley. And you're not alone in the world, you have your family and me and the help of your teachers and friends. Don't give up when life gets hard, because you're a great person. Don;t forget that.

Okay so today in school we were working in our groups because we have to create our own political parties and each member of the group had to choose two topics that they wanted to talk about. We went around the group to see what each person's points were, and mine really sucked. In general, sometimes I feel like I don't have basic knowledge of things going on in the United States and just in general. I mean, I know stuff and follow the news from time to time, don't get me wrong here...but I always feel so slow and inferior to everyone else at school, like I don't know anything. How do I overcome this feeling and how do I gain more knowledge? (link)
You gain knowledge by obvioulsy keeping yourself up to date on ongoing news for example:
global warming. It's all over the newspapers and CNN is gushing over it. Al Gore is also a huge supporter in this, even made a movie about it 2years ago called An Incovenient Truth.
Just keep reading the newspaper and watch the news every night, this will help you gain some more knowledge about world wide happenings.
To overcome that feeling, you have to believe in yourself and convince yourself that it doesn't matter how smart you are or how much you know. I recently overcame this kind of feeling, because the truth is, there will always be people smarter than you and dumber than you, it's just a matter of how you handle it and the amount of courage you produce. Just keep your head held high, take a deep breath and remember, everyone has insecurities, and you have to deal with it by doing something about it.

So I've been talking to this guy and he's really nice, sweet, charming. Basically, perfect. He talks to me like he likes me, he's told me that he feels a 'connection' with us.

The thing is, I feel like he tells every girl he talks to, the same exact thing. Then that makes me think that maybe I'm wasting my time or something?

Should I just let him go and forget about him or what? (link)
Don't let him go if you don't know the facts because you don't know for sure that he is telling every girl this, but it seems like your gut instinct is telling you to let him go, you seem really unsure and if I were you, I'd follow your heart or at least find out the truth before you jump to any conclusions. Because if you don't know the truth, you can't know for sure that you are wasting your time. Yuh know?

16/f. god i am so sick of this --okay, so myself and my closest friends are all eachothers pretty much close friends ("clique" --yet I hate that word) but whenever like 3 of them hang out, and I don't get invited to hang I always feel like I don't have friends. I feel like they don't like me and don't want to ask me. I know that I should ask them to hang out, but I feel like they already have plans and I don't want to be the tagalong when they already had this planned.
but it's so hypocritcal.. when I was out with my two friends, we had to lie to my other friends because they would freak out if they knew where we were .. and us three were like "its so gay how we can't do anything without like all 10 of us being invited."

but it's the fact that I just get so like depressed, I seriously feel like i have nobody. what's wrong with me.
(link)
It sucks when you feel left out, I know, trust me. And since you have this set group of friends, it's hard to break that cliquey thing, which is tough because if one person isn't invited, you can't relate to anyone else about being left out. So feeling alone is pretty much inevitable, and it hurts. There is nothing wrong with you, you are completley normal, and most girls in your situation feel the same way you do. But, don't be depressed, because your friends did say to you that it's stupid that all 10 of you can't say anything about where you are unless everyone else is there, so they feel the same way you do.
Just ask them to hang with you, maybe even talk about it with them, because these things can really bring a person down. I understand. trust me.


I get jealous when I'm in a three-friend group,which I'm in a lot.So,I like to cause of a little drama sometimes.Like for example,let's go by Nicole and Cassie.I tell Nicole Cassie gossips about her,and the same thing for Cassie.So basically,I like making myself less jealous by making my friends hate each other,so I can have them to myself,without worrying they'll leave me out.Is it because I feel left out when they are doing something one-on-one?Can someone give me advice to stop feeling so jealous?13/F (link)
This is really common, a lot of girls do it, but dont let me make you think i am telling you that you are right. I know that it might be tough, jealousy is not the easiest thing to work with, but you just have to trust your friends, and keep in touch. If you guys are seriously friends, then nothing can ever come between you guys. If this continues, unfortunetly, there may be some consequences, like the two girls might talk to each other about the situation, and figure out what you have been doing. Or they could split up, and it would be non stop drama between the two of them, which may not seem like it would effect you very much, but when you are out with one of them just chilin, all they are going to want to talk about is the other person (gossip.)

Every time you want to do something you know you are not supposed to, just bite your tounge and occupy yourself at that moment, by walking away and doing something else. But i found some websites that can help you deal with it...and overcome it.

has anyone dated a guy that was one of your good friends, but your best friends [well except my best best] cant stand? how did you handle it? what was it like? basically any experiences/insight? btw keeping them seperated doesnt always work bc we all hang out in the parkin lot after school together bc there are mutual friendships obviously. (link)
Yeah, my experience just happened haha. I liked this guy who none of my friends liked, and they made fun of him, and it put me down, and I didn't want to tell them that they were wrong about him, because I got to know him really well by talking to him, until I found out that he was talking to some hoee on myspace and lied to me about it twice. So I agreed with my friends, and my advice would be this:
Just don't let your friends change your mind. Just because they think something about him that you don't agree with and that they can't stand him, don't let their opinions deter you from liking him. How you feel should make your decision for you, not somebody elses, because it's not their life, it's yours. yuh know?
I never went out with that guy, but my best friend knew I liked him, and she couldn't stand him, hated him at best, but eventually she came around...until that guy messed everything up. In time, your friends will see that your being happy is all that matters.

Hey! I've been on your column a few times and noticed you seem to know a lot about bands/artists that not many people know about. I was wondering if you could tell me any good websites for basically browsing music online, or downloading rarer band music - I live in Canada, where free music downloads are legal, so that part isn't a problem.

I know a lot of people are "discovered" through myspace, but I don't have it, so any other sites would be helpful =]

Most of my fave music runs along the lines of punk/indie/emo, if that helps any. (link)

Limewire is also really good and a big hit with a lot of people, but I like to go on Itunes Radio and click on Idobi radio. A lot of undiscovered bands are played on there. :]
I love indie bands, and I'm sorry I didn't get back to you quick enough, my computer wigged out for a while, we had to get geek squad :]

Hey I asked a question before. Well yeah the guy I have a a crush on messaged my friend back and he said that he thought I was cool but wouldn't date me. I know its not bad but it still makes me a little upset. I don't know why. I want to be happier that he doesn't hate me. But still I feel weird and upset. What should I do? I don't even know if he will talk to me. So any advice would be appreciated. Thanks a whole bunch! (link)
If I were you, I wouldn't stop talking to him, and chances are, he won't stop talking to you. You have a right to be upset, because you had your hopes up that he would like you as more than just a friend, but if you get to know him better, things won't be as awkward and wierd. Yuh know? Sorry I didn't get back to you very quickly, my computer was being a ditz. But just let him talk to you, feel more comfortable around you, and don't back down. If you want tp be friends, be friends, and talk to him, he'll come around :]

ok sooo my boyfriend is 17. and i have noo idea what to get him for valentines day.

i wanna make it really special because i will be his first valentine cause hes never had a girlfriend around this time.

what are some things i could do? (link)
You could take him on a picnic and make a cake and bring candles and make heart shaped sand wiches and chocolate coverd strawberrys.

(link)
Please please please dont say anything like "If you dont like him I guess you dont have to be my friend" or "I cant be friends with someone that dosnt like my friends". Because someone said that to me and I thought they didnt want me to be there friend so I just told her what it sounded like and that we wernt friends anymore. I'm sorry I couldnt give more advice but I'm almost positive that is the worst thing you can do in that situation.

I am going to get a dog when I get back to my home land, canada. I already have a 3 year old shih tzu named scruffie. I am planning to get another dog in my homeland but the problem is, I CANT DECIDE WHICH TYPE! I am not sure which dog i should get, or if i shouldn't get a second dog. I am planning to get a second SMALL dog so plz help!!! My 3 year old dog is a male so I have a feeling to get a female dog so scruffie wont get bored, but I am not sure.
PS if you gonna suggest a dog i advise u tell about it, eg: pomerainian, barks alot, good with children , medium size, good in cold weather, ect. (link)
I have a caren-zu, its a mix of a Shi-tzu and a Caren Terrior. Caren-zu's are playful like a Terrior but can be very calm and boring when you want her to be. Caren-zu's can bark alot but like I said she can be calm and boring when you want her to be. If you get a Caren-zu when she is young you should feed her 2 times a day, but when she gets a little older you should only feed her once a day. You should brush her about every other day because they do get notted pretty easly. Caren-zu's are pretty good in cold weather but if your in a hot place you can just shave her a little bit but you dont have to shave her she will be fine. Dont let them sleep with you because they will feel like they are better than you. Good luck, I hope I helped, and I hope you enjoy your new job.


I WaNT To WoRk For WWE?
i, my name is Larry and right now my goal is to get my degree in communications and work for wwe. Right now I am still in High school, and my first goal is to like get into radio and then be able to get in wwe. I really want this opproutnity to be like a announcer, are commentator. This has been my passion all my life and I am upsest with it. What do you suggest I do to get there (link)
you know wrestling schools, (good ones anyway) teach wrestling commentry. get your degree, get a job, get the money for the school, learn the basics and they cana ctually help find a job, maybe first at an indie promotion, then slowly build up. you cant expect to start from radio and go straight to the WWE, TNA even. you got to build up your portfolio of work and they might accept you.


People have always told me using a stationary bike will work your butt muscles thus making your butt look bigger but now people are telling me stationary bike does nothing for your butt as it's just sitting there and if anything, your butt will get smaller.

Which one is true? (link)
Listen man...or woman.

Going to the gym sucks.Its the ultimate form of depression.45 minutes a day 4 days a week.

That is fucking depresion man.

Biking is an excellent exercise.Buy yourself a bike and go on the mountains.Totally different feeling.

If you are a woman, try starting tennis lessons.
This will build a beautifull body.Though it might hurt your knees in the long run, so you should always warm up and take care and all.
