Q: I'll start by describing myself as I have been described by people:
I write amazing songs on guitar. I'm the best actor in my high school's theater company. According to many I'm the smartest kid they know. According to a similar number I'm extremely attractive. They claim that I'm also one of the nicest, easiest-going and can hold stupid and intellectual conversations with anyone equally well.

Okay. I'm not an egotistical selfless son of a bitch. These are things people have said to me. Here's something that bothers me: I have never had a girlfriend. I've never even been on a real date. Ever. I came close a few times, but then one girl decided to tell me yes when she really meant she didn't like me that way, and then another got as far as telling me what to tell her dad when I came to pick her up, but then changes her mind an hour later, because. No real specific reason, end of two or three weeks of getting to know eachother and whatever.

I keep trying. I generally don't like to approach girls like that unless I make eye contact and float a smile across once or twice and have one returned. Everyone else says that works, and then you go talk to them. I can't even make eye contact.

So, am I just an unlikely kid who should shut up and stop bitching and moaning, or is there some insight anyone might have here? I'm inclined to believe the first one, really.
well it would so make sience why you cant get a girlfriend your approch is all wrong.dont do trhat normal guy shit ,as you can see alot of girls are never interested.If you see a girl youu really like dont sit there and try and get her attention ,just go up and talk to her,show her your not like the rest of the stuborn ass-whole guys.another tip is start out as there friend and then wait for them to come to you,dont worry it will happen.

Q: Alright, so im 15, a female, and i think i might be gay. im still 'exploring' my options, if that makes any sense. but i want to let my friends know that there is a possibility that i could be, but everytime i get close to tellin them, ill start out with something about one of my gay friends, and they are automatically grossed out. how could i hint to them that i could be, without losing their friendship, yet not being to revealing?
wow this is another tough one .well most of my friends are either gay or lesbeions so i know what your going through.i think maybe just tell them you know "there is a chance i could be gay".if they are real friends they will except that and be with you along the way .if they get grossed out ask them ,say "why cant you except the fact that this could be me ?"

Q: i have been dating my bf for 5 months and just recently we were at his friends house walking down the road and he had his arm around me and when his aunt picked him up he told me she was freaking out about there not being a chaperone there (but there was) and about his arm being around me (which is soooo stupid!) his aunt told his mom. and now im getting the hint that his mom and stepdad basically hate me bcuz they wont let us just sit and watch tv in his room anymore we cant even go in his room at all really, also today when he asked if he could go to the beach with all our friends his stepdad asked him if i was going to be there and he said yea and his stepdad told him to make good judgement. what does that mean?? i think they basically dont want me around him. they say they like me but they are probly just being nice. how do i get them to let me be with him?
i dont think they meant any harm when they told him to make a good judgement.Iam pretty sure they just meant to be carefull with you to being together so long.Well congradulations on your relationship lasting so long.Maybe when you are around his faily dont be so touchy with each other./let kme know what happens

Q: Well, My mother is trying to read my mind. She sets me up without "knowing" and then says im doing it because (some weird hatful things im doing) and it`s making think shes nuts. She is crazy tho. I could get her put away in a M.H.

But, I have sleeping problems. I have this annoying ring in my ears. But it goes away with white noise(or any noise) but a fan puts me asleep with ease. So i get home for being on my own, after all my shit was stole. And i ask for a fan, she says i have a fan. The ceiling fan i have is the most annoy! Its quite, I have to sleep on my back(which i almost never do, like 1-50) Cuz if i turn my head the ringin in my ear is there.I almost died cuz i was so sick of sleepin on my back i slept face down with a pillow on my forehead so i could have air, i wake up coughin to death drownin in my own drool!!! On my back my whole mouth is dry, it takes me hours to fall alseep. And i have to be tired. Like missin a good amount of sleep. Im missing so much sleep i keep seeing things, plus im really paranoid. Im now missing over 40 hours. I tell this to her she flips out and thinks im lying. Im a Buddhist so im not lying, i cant! And she hates the fact im Buddhist when she has no religion. What can i say for her to shut her trap and listen for more then 30secs. And i tell her this and she says im not doing this, but im doing some complex plan to make her mad or something? So help!
im not to good with this buddism religion and i dont know to much about it.But i do think since she is your parent she should rezspect your religon .So if you find she wont listen to you when you talk try writing her a letter.She cant yell at the paper.Maybe save up some money and buy your own fan.If you have problems sleeping like i do ,then try some prescripted sleeping pills.let me know how it all works out

Q: i have been friends with "sarah" since i was a little kid (we're both 15 now). recently sarah wanted to make a myspace. i practically made the whole thing for her since i am better with computers. i posted her first comment saying "heyy sarah whats up?". i looked at her myspace a couple days later it was gone. i assume she deleted it because sarah is really popular in school, and well im not. i think that she did not want to be associated with me because im a geek. i was really upset by this and havent talked to her in a while, and i dont if i want to. should i forgive her for being 2-faced? and if i should, should i tell her i know what she did?
well to me shes not a true friend i would ;leave her another comment saying "i didnt like you deleting my last comment seeing how i did prcticly your whole profile,i think i deserve a little bit more respect" a true friende wouldnt ignore you.

Q: 16/f.
im sooo confused
there is this guy that i like and but he has a girlfriend but everytime we hangout i always forget that and sometimes it seems like he does too or something because he always starts flirting like last night he was like punching me in the stomach lightly and like getting close and then he wouldnt give me my phone so i jumped on him and then like he was on the bed and i was sitting on the floor and he got really close and started talking to me =) there are other people there too but i dont know! then i had to leave for a little bit but then i came back and then he started flirting right away again! we say we are "best friends" but we arent really..just friends! anyways he lied to me like jokingly and im like UHHHHH! best friend dont talk to me dont look at me dont associate with me. i was totally joking and im pretty sure he knew because we always joke like that and then i was sitting on the couch and hes on the other one and comes over and pulls me by him and is like come on we have to have a talk and im like nope nope what do you want to talk about? and then he like just got really quiet and i was sitting on the same couch as him and he put a pillow like by his head to block me so he couldnt see me and later i like pull it off and say you suck at trying to be mad at me but then he tried grabbing it back and was like no forreal come on im not playin! and then i was like okay =( then i went and layed on the floor while we all watched tv and i think he fell asleep or something but then when he got up he left without saying anything to me! and he usually does. what is going wrong here i am really sad because i mean later i might ask were you really mad or what happend? because what do you guys think what should i do. everytime i dont see him for a bit i cant stop thinking about him and how i want to see him and now that was the last time i will see him for like a week beause im going on vacation tomorrow! the whole girlfriend deal sucks because he says he loves her but then what about me. i cant help myself!

thanks.
i dont think he was mad at you i kinda think he was mad at hisself because he really wanted to tell you he liked you but he couldnt.if you are to shy to tell him you like him you should consider writing it in a letter.who knows maybe you will get the answer you have been looking for back

Q: I just moved in to a house in Lake Park, NC. I have lived here for a week and I like this girl that lives across the street. I don't have the nerve to ask her out. Can someone tell me a good way to ask her out.

Signed,

newkid
iu would say you can deffinitly use your dog .Try walking over to her house with your dog and say "my dog wanted to appologise for her little runaway insident"that will strike up a conversation or maybe it wont .but before you leave say "my dog would also like me to give you my phone number ,he thinks your really cute" and then walk away .your gurinteed to get a call back.let me know how it all works out.

Q: Well, I failed this school year for personal reasons, and yeah it is my fault that I failed, but I didn't even get to go to summer school to try and bring up my grades. Anyways, I hated the teachers in this grade, and now I'm going to have to see them again. And I'm going to loose so many friends because I'm in a different grade then them. I'm just worried about this year. I know a lot of people that will be in this grade, but they will all ask why I failed and stuff. I don't want to have to face the same teachers I had to face last year.
Do you have any advice for me?
Things that might help?
Thanks so much for your help.
well i would say the friends that you had last year you could still keep in touch with ,like after school.and the kids that ask you why you failed all you have to say is "i dont really want to talk about it ".and who knows you may meet a bunch of new friends from staying back,friends that are better then the friends you allready had.as for the teachers ,well everyone has top put up with them .just keep on there good side,by doing your work ,and just keep in your head"there just trying to help me"you never know your teacher could become your best friend

Q: i've noticed that in movies/pictures from like 100 years ago, women had extremely small waists (like 20 inch waists). i was wondering if they were just wearing corsets that made them extra skinny, or if they were just naturally that skinny? because i'm 15/f, 5'3", and my waist is like 28 inches, and my friends are the same. have women evolved that much?
well there are many different cases like sometimes women where there shirts extra skinny so they look skinny,or sometimes there waist really are llike that,and then there is this wonderfull thing called "photo retouching"and tjhat means it dosnt matter if she is the fatest lady in the world ,after the retouching is done,she could be the skinniest.we may never know what pictures are or arent real

Q: I just got my period today. It sucks because these cramps are killing me and I feel like I want to die. What can I do so the cramps don't hurt as much? I know they sell pills or medicines or something but I don't know where they sell them or what they are called. Any excersizes or something I can eat? The only thing I know about is a heating pad, which I'm already using and it's helping a little bit, but not much. Any help would be appreciated.
umm you can by them at drug stores anywhere.the pills you want to look for are called premedstrell pills.After of before you take the pills,take a nice WARM shower(cold water makes it worse).maybe just lay down in the shower for like 15 minutes,and when u get out lay down in front of a fan for a little nap. but before u do put a heated waash cloth on your forehead,and a heating pad on your stomach,its gurinted to help but make sure you lay down in the shower .it feels great

Also what type of back back is best for HS right now i bought a northface backpack that is all black. would a messanger bag be good what is trendy?
i would wear some jelly bracelts ,some cute like little rings (not to big ),a cute skirt(not to short ),either flip flops or high heels,any kind of shirt ,.you dont neeed to get a messanger bag but it will help with your look .wear makeup that blends with your conplection so people dont even notice your wearing it.maybe som,e cute dangley or hooprings,and whatever else you want.Just remember its okay to be unique.let me know how it alll works out for ya.

Q: 40s - f - uk.
I've recently been diagnosed with COPD which is Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. I also have unstable asthma. Due to this I have to take steroids quite often which makes me put on weight. The extra weight is not good as it puts more strain on my lungs. I am trying to be careful with what I eat. I'm not fat as such, but definitely under height for my weight!
I find it very difficult to exercise, walk far etc, due to the lung disease, but I need some form of exercise to try to keep the COPD at bay as long as possible.
Also, due in part to the steroids I have early onset osteoporosis, so exercise would be good for that as well. Doctors have not really been much help. Any suggestions please?
i cant really give to many suggestions to this one because its a hard spot to be in .i would cut out alll my junk food even if i had to hide it from myself .i would olny eat like cherrys,fish,cucumbers,lettuce,salary,berries,cheese,that kind of healthy stuff.i know it may be hard but this could be your life we are talking about.maybe when you go for walks take a few bootl;es of water with ya .while your walking you can drink them and also use them as weights to lift .if you ave to stop ,even if its every three seconds ,thats okay .let mer know how this all works out for ya .

Q: I live at a horseback riding stable and my mom is an instructor there. I have these friends and everyday after they are done working at the summer camp they come up to our house and eat lunch. Some days it feels like they just are my friends so they can come to my house. for the majority of them i know thats not true. And then they are always asking if they can eat or have something of ours and i cant exactly say no. A couple times in a row they have like cleaned our house because it is a little messy and they just clean it but they are really rude like oh we have to do it its to gross i cant look at it anymore,kind of rude. so then it makes me feel really bad. So my question is what do i do? They are being rude,esspecaily to my little sister. she is 12 (most of ther ages, im 14) but she is easy to pick on. how do i stand up to them and any other advice you have would be great
well ya dont have to be mean but that is very rude to be saying that about your house if they say "ohh we have to do this ,its so gross" calmly explain to them inn a low tone"you really dont have to because no one is telling you to ".and when they pick on your little sister just say "hey if you are going to be in the company of my family please respect them "and if they dont show em the door

Q: i let my bf down by not going to see him i didn't mean to but it took me awhile to get to the first place i was going...well now he's actin funny when i talk to him and he hasn't called me i have to call him. I'm really sorry but i keep doing dumb s**t and sayin sorry and i think the word is a little overused. Please help me i really don't know how to handle this i think it's going too far. (just to say i'm 14/f and have know him since 4th grade,i'm going to 9th)
