well there is this guy that i like and im not sure if he likes me. we talk at school and he likes to joke around with me adn make fun of me, but he always smiles and is happy around me. i just want to knwo if he likes me, what do you people think?

14/f

Hmm he probably does! There's a really good possiblity! Check to see if he acts the same way around other girls. And if he does, he just may be a big flirt!

Okay well i have a friend and she makes me do EVERYTHING 4 her well at lunch like she will be like here is 50 cents go buy me a cookie and i do it! i dont want to but i do anyways. and i through her trash away 4 her and she pays me a dime and i dont want to do that either i just feel like i can tsay no and when i do i feel like she will be mad at me but whp cares right i cant do stuff 4 her right? well i dont know what do to please help!

You're going to have to say no to her no matter what if you really want this to end! You have to show her that you're not the kind of person to be taken advantage. Next time she tells you to go buy her a cookie and gives you the fifty cents, just give it right back to her. Next time she makes you throw away her trash, just put it back on the table. If she gets mad at you and doesn't understand where you're comming from, then I wouldn't call her a true friend. But good luck and I sure hope she understands!

earlier today a friend of mine asked me a question...they asked "if i show you something will you be mad?" I said no. so the person showed me and it happened to be that the person had cut their wrist. i didnt get mad..but they had done it once before. i want to do something before it gets to bad. what can i do?

Talk to her. But especially listen to her! Listen to all her problems in her life that's making her want to cut. Just be there for her and let her know that you love her no matter what!

Are you suppose to pop your pimples or not? And the same with Black heads? What are you suppose to do. I use this blackhead scrub stuff and it makes my blackheads bigger. Is that giving me a sign to pop them? I seldum get pimples with white heads. And usually I accident pop them. Is that bad?

Whatever you do, don't pop ANYTHING! They're going to leave you scars all over your face! Just let it run its course! Eventually it'll clear up. Try using ProActive. That stuff works really well and really quickly!

ok umm my friend is not eating. she says she eats infront of a big group of ppl but then when she is only around a few ppl she says she does not eat. she drinks energy drinks like crazy and i tell her to stop drinking sooo many b/c you can die if you drink too many, and she is not even doing a energy when she drinks them.and i have told her to start eating and stuff but she won't she wants to loose wait, and i said to just workout and not to starve yourself and yeah. i am really worried about her. she is always tired b/c she is not eating and she is not getting her calciam or however you spell that and it makes her tired so she drinks a Red Bull.i don't know how to help her. should i tell a parent if i tell her to stop and she doesn't?? please help me
concerned best friend

I would tell a parent or somebody else older that could take care of the situation! But make sure that adult or whoever doesn't come off too strong or else it might make her rebel even more and continue to starve herself! Make sure that person comes off more as friendly rather than a parent!

Hi...
I am about to get my braces off and i dont know why but my orthodontist does a lot of stuff to your teeth like 3 weeks beofre you get them off and they are so sore and i am having to wear 5 different rubber band in 5 different places and they are just really sore and i was wondering if anyone knew anything i could do to make them feel better besides eating ice cream because i am on a diet.
Also, anyone who has had there braces off, i have heard it does hurt and i have heard it doesn't hurt. Does it? Does that polishing thingy feel weird?

Thanks for any advice!

It kind of hurts. Well, actually, it's just weird and uncomfortable! It's not that bad! I took Motrin to take the pain away. And I also ate smushed up crackers and mash potatoes! Be excited that you're getting your braces off though! I sure was!!

PS. Make sure you wear that retainer though! I stopped wearing mine way to early becuase I accidently threw it away in a trash can at a football field and I never bothered to get a new one so now I think my parents are going to make me get braces AGAIN because my teeth are moving back to the original spot...blahhhh!

Hey I was just wandering what you thought about this one. Sorry it might be kinda long but I really need your advice.

-Me and my boyfriend have been going out for 3 weeks exactly today. He is like really stupid and kinda weird so I dont know what I want to do. Half of me wants to dump him and the other half doesn't. I know that he really really likes me and that if I break up with him he might even cry. Today on our field trip some of his friends were like joking around and told me that he dumped me (and I knew he didnt). He was like what?!? I would never dump her. And yesterday he bought me this really cute stuffed animal (dolphin) because he knows that I love dolphins.

-Please someone help me I really need it!!

Well he sounds really sweet! You might want to give him another chance. People can change for someone that they care about. Tell him you don't like the way he acts sometimes. Just be honest. If he doesn't change, then it's not worh keeping. Good luck.

I have music playlist on my Xanga and when I go to it I can hear the music just fine. But when my friend goes to it she said she couldn't hear it. Does anyone know what might be going on? Would anybody be willing to go to my Xanga site to see if it is just her computer or what?
thanks very much1

I could definetly help you out there! Drop me a comment on my xanga! Search for my name. It's MARiiA___x3 .

i have this friend that talks about me to my best friend nd my best friend tells me everything she says..my friend isnt the nicest person and she really hurts me but im afraid to confront her wat should i do? thanx a bunch!

Maybe just slip little hints to her when you see her. When she tries to talk to you, kind of just brush her off and leave. She'll get the hint. Sooner or later she's going to realize why you've been ignoring her. And when she confronts you about it, then you should tell her that you've heard that she's been talking behind your back. Good luck!

i was wondering, why are there so many groups in skool? like preps, goths, punks, metalheads, populars, secondary populars, loners, gunks(a mix of punks and goths), and just "others". it all just creates mayhem, like a popular cant go out with a goth, or they will loose all their friends. i think it is so stupid. can you explain to me why people must insist on putting people in different catigories? does it really matter?

I don't think it matters at all! Labels are stupid! I don't know why people do it. But whatever the reason, it probably sucks!

I guess this goes under this category but oh my gosh! i need HELP! Ok i am 13/f and i go out with this guy named David...well im his first girlfriend which is UNBELIEVABLE because hes SO sweet and hes not really hott but ya know! and so since im his first girlfriend his mom wants me to have dinner with them on friday...which REALLY sucks! because of ME! well i dont know if i can even go yet because i might have to go to my dads but still....i am SO SHY! like only around older people such as adults! but not people my age! see im so shy that when i talk about something thats kinda embarassing to me about my family, i get all shy and turn red...i dont know why and it makes me MAD! and its stuff thats not even that emabarssing!! anyone know what i can do to prepare or anything!?!

Just relax! And to stop the blushing and turning red, you should bring some powder and ask to go to the bathroom when you feel yourself getting tense or shy or about to turn red! The parents should understand that it's a nervous thing that you're doing. So don't sweat it! Just show up and be yourself. And wear something that makes you feel good about yourself! I would drink a whole bunch of coke or something to make my nerves go away. I hope everything works out for you though!

14/female
A lot of people at school thinks my life is perfect. it is far from it. i wont get into too much detail and make this too long but i have a few good friends that i love but there are so many morons that get mad because i get good grades or whatever. i just wanted to know does this go away in high school? or will people still asume my life is great because i get good grades?

thank you

It's all out of jealousy! I don't think it goes away in high school though. One of my best friends moms is a phycyatrist (sp) and she says that jealousy doesn't go away until maybe your second year of college!! Well I hope you don't let it get to you darling!

Im not sure if i should break up with my boyfriend or not. Lately things havent been going good for us. We been going out 3 months by the way. I just got back from a trip and he only texted me twice while I was gone & i just called him to see if he wanted to go somewhere and he didnt barely talk at all, he didnt ask how my trip went, or that he missed me or anything. Right after I asked him, he said no & said bye. I dunno how I should break up with him though, I cant do it in person cuz we have spring break and I cant see him all week for different reasons and I sure dont want to call him again... I dunno please help me.

Well if I were you I should would! That's mean of him to say that he didn't miss you! But I mean if you feel like you two can hang in there for another week with pretty much no way of communicating, then try to wait it out and see what happens. But I would break up with him for soring break and then when school comes around I would see if he missed you or anything. Good luck. But from what I've learned, when a guy stops calling, then pretty soon he's going to officially call it off. But maybe it'll be different for you!

okay to start off i know i am not FAT. but i am 4 foot 11 inches and weight about 105. and i dont care what the scale says i care about the way i look. being so short for my age and having a regular appetite for my age doesnt help. i play 2-3 sports but i know i dont eat very healthy. i just dont like the way my stomach looks...my friends all say i am fine but really they are my friends what are they going to say?....

please tell me if you think i am just exaggerating or i should eat healthier/exercise more but PLEASE do it nicely...(i.e: dont swear and call me an idiot)

I'm the exact same height as you!! It's about time I find someone who's as tall as me! You're only 6lbs more than me so it's not that big of a difference. So I would say your fine. But if you want to make your stomach look better, then just do exercises that focus totally on your stomach! Crunches help you a whole bunch! Any kind of crunches! And I don't think your exaggerating becuase I think I could afford to lose a few extra pounds. Everyone has some sort of fat in a place that they want to get rid of!

I got my ears pierced at Claires 8 weeks ago. My left ear lobe started hurting and bleeding a teeny bit and shedding skin from the back when i changed into my second pair of sensitive earrings. What's wrong with my ear?? Is it infected?? It's a teeny bit red withthat white thingy and when you squeeze it it hurts a teeny bit. What should I do? I RATE 5'S

This happened to me. I got it pierced at Claires too. It ended up getting infected. My skin started to grow over the earring and it was horrible! At first it hurt just a little bit but then it started getting worse. I would advise you to keep an extremely close look on it before you have to take out the earring. I think it'll be fine if you take really good care of it. Make sure your hair doesn't get caught in it or anything! That's how mine started to get infected. I hope everything works you for you!
