Alright my life story in high school. Well I have fallen in love, with a guy that had a girlfriend. (This is long story short). He broke my heart more than once, and I have forgiven him. He cheated on his girlfriend (I would know) and she knows. She doesn't care. It hurts me even more every day and I convinced myself before that I'm over it but I'm truly not. And they're still together!! I mean me and him talked a lot and were good friends after and stuff, but lately he's been drifting away and it gets my thoughts mixed up.
I don't know what to do!
Does he not care that we don't talk that much anymore??
I might be worrying too much and that's just me, but I need advice on ways to get over it completely, and how to be friends with him and not worry about anything else.
please and thank you! (link)
I think that it is a good thing that he is drifting away from you, because you don't need him in your life. Seriously ask yourself this:
-Do I want to wait for the guy who keeps on breaking my heart? Can I live without him?
If your answer to both of those questions is no, than you are in it waaaaay to deep. He is just a boy, not your world, not your oxygen.
However, if your answer to those questions were yes, than there is your answer. Plain and simple.
You have to move on and find some great guy who will treat you right, a guy with a MASSIVE glue gun to repair your broken heart. :] yuh know? and that guy is out there, but if your hung up on this one heartbreaker, your just asking for heartache, and ALOT of it. Is that what you really want?
So keep yourself busy. Make friends with other guys and just isolate yourself from him. AVOID HIM. Eliminate him from your life. Being friends with him won't work, because he will always have a special place in your heart, and his fake facade and charm might drag you back into the drama again, you're better off without him and the baggage he brings along with him.
Good luck, it will get better, I promise.


I just read that the EU has banned the use of Vaseline in Cosmetic products due to concerns that it may be carcinogenic.

Is this true? Is good old Vaseline linked to cancer?

These days, it seems that everything is labeled as "carcinogenic,"...with all the crap we're exposed to, I don't know if vaseline should top our list of concerns.

But I am still curious, I read about it, but wanted to know for sure: is vaseline really all that bad? (link)

--check that site out and read what people have commented on.
It's not a definite, but a most likely not. I mean, this product has been around for ages! By now, I think they would have known if the petroleum jelly caused cancer. [I'm pretty sure it doesn't or a lot of people would be getting cancer since it is like a household item]
Good lukk [I'm sure it's nothing to worry about just yet]


lifes been sucking lately
dont like my friends
not over my ex
its been a month since the breakupp
hate where i live
ive tried expressing myself inn many ways
songs
poems
quotes
talking to "friends" even though they dont try to help and talked shyt about me the day after we broke up about how me talking about it and being depressed was so annoying.
my grades havent been good
i feel like i suck at everything
yes, sadly enough i tried writing a list of my good qualities and talents and no, it did not help whatsoever.
i dont know how else i can handle myself.
ive been trying to convince myself that ive moved on from my ex but i know its a way to cover upp that empty spot that always made me feel good.
how else can i deal with this
im a wreck inside.

thankss;

I know that you don't want to hear..."Make new friends" or "things will get better overtime" or "You don't suck at everything" so I'm not gonna say that. But what I am going to say is this:
You gotta look on the bright side. Because right now, you are just saying that everything sucks and if you BELIEVE that everything sucks, it will. And getting over your ex is not gonna be easy, I'm not gonna sugar coat this for you, because that's not what you really want, right? Well, repairing your heart is not a 5 minute thing, it's like an over the months and long term kinda thing. So don't lie to yourself, you're not over your ex, but someday you will be. Trust me.
And even though your "friends" think your annoying because you are feeling bad, that's just stupid because you have a right to be unhappy. You don't have to go around pretending to be happy-go-lucky when you just need someone to listen to you, to understand. I understand. I'm listening.
When you feel like this, hiding your real emotions will come back to haunt you, so start early and talk to a counselor before things become even worse. Don't hold your feelings all bottled up inside of you because that will make you feel even worse.
Scream into your pillow as loud as you can, cry for hours, hit your bed woth your fists, let your anger and everything inside of you come out. But only do those things I just listed, and not something else.
Also, music helps ALOT, so I reccomend that. But what I strongly suggest is you talking to a counselor or parent/guardian, maybe a close family member or teacher.
Good luck with everything, and don't say your life sucks, because really, if you look at everything [not just the little things] your life is great.

well let me tell you all a story and whoever wants to can help me out.
about 3 years ago me and this boy Erin fell for eachother. my best gal pal melanie thought he was hot as well. we both agreed we wouldnt get mad at eachother if he just so happend to go out with one of us. we he just so happend to go out with me. she wasnt upset at all infact her and her new bf and me and erin would double date. well all of a sudden OUT OF NOWHERE i lost feelings for him. i really didnt want anything to do with him and didnt want to be near him. i ignored his phone calls and everything. i broke up with him through melanie on the internet, lame i know but it was the strangest thing! i dont know what came over me i just stop likiung him and began to actually hate him! i mean we got in a couple little fights and he ditched me on my b-day--i guess there were a few things that he did that relly got to me. anyways i really angered him and broke his heart so me and melanie developed a plan. she wasnt really into her bf but she did think erin was hot and we both new that. so0o afetr i broke his heart we decided for melanie to sweep in, make him happy again and they would go out. It worked. they dated for 2 years. i was absolutely fine with it. of course when we were all together i had no problem not speaking to erin. well over the years me and melanie drifted apart-she moved a far distance away from me and what not. well theyr relationship has diminished. melanie has
new bf she cheated on him with and all erin did was hold another girls hand at the mall. so they did eachother wrong but something very strange has happend to me. Ive been talking to erin alot. its like we were when we were together. i mean i always knew he was a fantastic guy! thats why it was so hard to figure out for myself why i left him. i think i like alot again. i thinkhe feels the same way. we joke about the past and about my sudden change of heart. im glad me and himare friends again but i dont know what to do. i want to see and he wants to see me. what if we go back out! i actually would love that! i think back then i was young and confused and hormoinal lol. ive grown up alot and have had other long term boyfriends. i dont think melanie would mind. i mean i would obviously talk to her about it but not until i know things for sure. so what do you advicenators think of my situation!!!! (link)
If you are both mature and ready to start the realtionship over again, more power to you :] It seems like you both just needed a break from eachother and to grow up, and since youhave both experienced long term relationships, that should help you a heck of a lot when it comes down to keeping the blooming relationship between the both of you alive. I think it's cute and like a love story! Like somehow you two were made for eachother and your hearts found your way back to one anothers.
You should tell him how you feel :] and I'm sure melanie won't mind, she didn't before, so I doubt she will feel differently this time.
Good luckk to you both and have funn


One of my closest friends has been really moody with me latly well its been going on for a while now and i can never talk to her because she will either look and be like a piece of shit or answer really sarcasticly to make me feel bad, anything i say is wrong. When i dont talk to her and leave her because i no she'll shove it in my fae she wont bother to talk to me then she will complain when i ask her whats wrong. Im the one thats always in the wrong, and i no i havnt done anything wrong to hurt her or anything. Shes fine with everyone else i really dont no what to do iv tryed almost everything, its just making me really depressed and fustrated. She will be fine when shes talking to the guys she acts like a totally different person all happy. She also was at my house at the weekend shows how much she appriates it!! we get on very well when she isnt moody!! ASRGH (link)
Okay, I have a friend like that too...actually its scary how much my situation is like yours. But, I learned over the years that she used me as her "punching bag" so to speak. I would put up with her shit and let her be mad at me, and I would do everything to make her stop bitching, but she just wouldn't quit it. So, what I wound up doing was not putting up with her shit anymore. When she would be mean to me I would either be mean right back or just shake my head and tell her that she was being immature. And when I saw her around everyone else, she just acted like another person! It was like she was two faced, and it pissed me off. So, I just talked to her about it, told her I wasn't gonna put up with her abuse anymore, and that if she was gonna act like this, she would lose a friend. and thats when she just stopped all of that, I think people like that get carried away with you because they have known us for a while and think that we will put up with all of that bitchyness, but we have to stand up for ourselves and say stop. And that's exactly what you should do. She needs a wake up call, and I hope you are the person to do it. yuh know?
Good luck, and I know how much that sucks :[


Me, Jess, and Alexa are best friends. At the beginning of the year Jess and some of her other friends were friends with this group of guys. One of the guys started liking one of Jess's friends, but it didn't work out. So then those guys stopped talking to Jess and her friends all together to avoid the awkwardness. Now me and Alexa are friends with these guys out of a coincidence. Jess is jealous and feels REALLY left out. She's upset because her old guy friends "dumped" her and moved on to me and Alexa. Now they don't acknowledge her at all. But the thing is...these guys call us to hang out all the time and they persue our friendship a lot. Jess is one of my best friends and being friends with these guys is hurting our friendship.

The horrible part is that I like one of the guys. I told Jess that by the way. Its horrible! (link)
Guys will come and go, but true friends will always be there...chicks before dicks, remember? I mean, yeah, those are like the cardinal rules of friendship, and if she really is your best friend you'll have to tell the guys that you're just not gonna choose between them, and if they make you, choose your best friend because why throw away that relationhip? If the guy you like doesn't stick with you just because you're hanging out with Jess, than why would you want to be in a cnotrolling relationship like that anyways? Your boyfriend [whoever he may be] should be chill with your friends and except you and them at face value. Tell them, take it or leave it. yuh know?
Good luckk


im falling for my best friend. our friendship is so messed up. we used to like eachother but then we didnt wana loose being friends. we lost it anyway. we still stayed friends no matter how much we fought. we were best friends weve known eachother forever. i wana be best friends again. but i hate him somedays then i love him the next. he is the biggest jerk i no but i still like him as in loving and as friends. i really wana date him if we held on through all this i bet we could if we broke up. ive never had a bf and hes only had a gf in 5th. very sad knowing im almost 14 hes 13. but i dont want anyone but him. :( id die if we lost friendship again. i didnt just fall for him i crashed my heard is shattered. we are total opasites in everysingle way. but idc. what can i do? (link)
Well, since you sound head over heels for this guy, and he doesn't know it...then tell him. There really is no other way to go about this, you either let him know, or you don't. If I were you, I would let him know :] yuhh knoww?
Good luckk


Sorry if it's in the wrong cat.!

Right, I'm wondering whether I've done ''too much stuff'' or not.
The first time I made out..like with tongues with a guy was when I was 13.
First time I kissed someone properly w/o tongues was when I was 12.

Since I've made out with about 10 or so guys. And had about 5 boyfriends.

I've had my hand in a guys pants..but like just in his trousers..not boxers =/

And I've played very flirty with a few guys.

Is this too much..?
I'm 15/F

(link)
Well, everyone goes at their own speed, but kissing a guy when you were 12 might not have been the best way to go about things, but you were younger than, and you didn't think much of it. I'm 15/f and I know girls just like you who are in your position, but really, you need to figure out if you feel you are going too fast, because if this is really making you uncomfortable, go slower, don't rush it. But if not, I just say keep doing what you're doing, but you're only 15, take your time. Have fun. yuh know?
Good luckk


slim jim food, is it safe for chihuahua to eat it? which food is good for my chihuahua to eat without gettin sick? (link)
well its safe its not like chocolate but it isnt really healthy for the dog its ok i the dog finds it somewhere but i dont think you should give it to your dog good luck i hope i helped


if a guy says "good night, beautiful" to you, what's something witty to say back to him if you like him? but you're not going out. like you're friends but he says that quite often to you? (link)
You should say, "same to you handsome!" ;)


So, me and my friend just admitted to liking each other about a week ago and we've been talking about dating and being together.

Theres a huge problem, it's way bad timing. He will be leaving for the Marines soon after Thanksgiving. We are both happy to wait but the thing is that this JUST started. I mean, we aren't in love so I'm not sure if these feelings will just fade overtime on his part and I'll be waiting for someone who can't break up with me.

But I really think this guy is great and I'd be passing up the chance with someone wonderful, so I'm pretty stuck.

So I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to start something and ANYONE who has experience to please share their stories, I'm open to any answer:)

(link)
Hey, just because he is leaving for the marines doesn't mean that you can't date him. Trust me, I have been with a marine for 2 and 1/2 yrs, and we are so in love. The time away from him can be hard, but why not give it a try. What have you got to lose? Besides, marines are always sexy!lol
;)


ok. so. i have a friend. and we're constantly together and i would consider her my "best" friend. but i kinda have a problem with the way she acts. everytime we're out together she acts completely crazy and somehow makes the entire night about her, even if it means embarrassing everyone around her. shes beautiful and many guys want to get with her. but i feel like when we're together i have no chance at meeting people bc shes busy being the center of attention. plus every guys ive seem to meet shes already been with so i feel like i get her sloppy seconds. and i hate it. i dont know what to do. i dont want to quit hanging out with her but i dont want to act completely obnoxious to get peoples attention. what to do? (link)
Here's my advice: you don't have to hang out with her everytime you go out. You know, there can be some nights where you can go out and meet guys on your own, but have a girls night out with her every once in a while. Or, you could even find another friend who has a similar personality to yours, and go meet guys with her. Either way, just remember that you are not obligated to hang out with her everytime you go out. Good luck! ;)


Alright my life story in high school. Well I have fallen in love, with a guy that had a girlfriend. (This is long story short). He broke my heart more than once, and I have forgiven him. He cheated on his girlfriend (I would know) and she knows. She doesn't care. It hurts me even more every day and I convinced myself before that I'm over it but I'm truly not.

I don't know what to do!
Does he not care that we don't talk that much anymore??
I might be worrying too much and that's just me, but I need advice on ways to get over it completely, and how to be friends with him and not worry about anything else.
please and thank you! (link)
Although it may be hard, this may be a blessing in disguise. Being friends with him will only bring back those feelings, and even if you started dating him, could you really trust a guy who cheats? You can do better. Trust me, I have been in your position before. I fell in love with this guy and I could NOT get over him, until I stayed away. I didn't call him, talk to him, or even see him. To this day I still don't think of him and I am in love with the most amazing guy. Find someone new, and you'll be happier without him. Good luck! :)


is it true that you have to wear your retainers 24/7? even when u sleep and eat? but could i not wear em to skool and then wear em the rest of the time? cause i dont think not wearin em 8 hours of the day is gonna kill my teeth. cause the people i know that get their braces off never wear their retainer even though they have one but then agian i only see em skool so they could be wearin em at night. (link)
Usually, your orthodontist will give you your retainer and say that you have to wear it non stop for a week or two...but you take it out when drinking and eating. And then you go back to see your orthodontist and he/she will see if you were wearing your retainer [and if you were] you would be able to wear it just at night. and then you go back in 6 months and 1 year...so on and so on.
Good luckk


Ok, so I'm a 15/f. And I get really gross bumps on my arms, back, thighs, and boobs. And i don't always have them, but when i do get one, it's sooo gross. And so far, I haven't found anything to make them go away. Can you suggest anything? Would regular acne medicine work for it?? (link)
Okay, so I went to a dermetologist and she prescribed this wash and lotion for me...I have these red bumps and stuff... the wash and cream is called: Glytone Body [both cream and wash]

Good luck, and you might wanna see a dermatologist


Ok so me and my little sister (14 and 10) have no idea what to make/buy for our parents. What do you guys think that I can make or what would a ten year old be able to make? Thanks much apreciated. (link)
You could maybe make a cute scrap book of pictures of your family and you, memories that you cherish, and give that as a present to your parents :]
Havee funn


so does myxertones really work, do they send you advertisements to your phone, and is it safe to use? my mom doesnt want to let me use it but i really want to! i am just uncomfortable with posting my cell number on the web.
thanks!!! (link)
Yepp, its safe. No advertisements or that stuff, just the ringtone sent to your phone, or at least that's what all of my freinds tell me. However, I just record the songs I want on my phone and save it as a ringtone, you should try doing that too if you can.
Good luckk


I met this girl named Martha a few months ago, and we instantly got along and became fast friends. Now she considers me to be her best friend. However, the more that I get to know her, the more I begin to not like her personality. At first she was very nice to me, but now she constantly gets an attitude with me. I don't want to be friends with such a mean person because I'm not used to that. Is there a way for us to grow apart, or do I have to stay friends with her and just put up with it? (link)
Well you could over time slowly grow apart. You could stop hanging out with her so much , then you could maybe stop doing things together at school like not eat lunch together. Then slowly you will grow apart. It might take awhile but it will happen. Good luck, I hope i helped.
