Q: Ok. My freind has a boyfriend and i suport them on that. But i feel like i am being used. like.. my friends boyfriend (who is my good friend) calls me and then we call her. and I ask if she is there. and when i have to hang up they still talk. But my friend didn`t tell her mom she had a boyfriend and so i always ask if she is there and they talk ..(but i tlak too.) i just feel like they are useing me to talk to eachother. this has been going on for...weeks..idk what to do..please help...i will rate high if ur good.

I wouldn't say that your being 'used' just because i dont think that they realize that they are using you. (ok that doesn't really make sence sorry.) So you just need to tell them, that you wont do that anymore, and that they just need to find someone else to do it.

Q: Aight well i have this friend and she used to like this guy named jeff. Well jeff asked her out but recently just told her he liked me more and bragged about me and soo forth. Well she said no and broke jeff's heart. Well now jeff is madly in love with me and he wants to go out with me. And now my friend is starting to like jeff a little more also. I really want to go out with jeff, but is it okay that i go out with someone my best friend has previsouly liked i don't know but i really want jeff.... But again i don't want to end our relationship...

Sincerely,
Loved friend

That is soo easy, don't go out with the guy, you would be such a fucking bitch to do that. And even if it didn't end your relationship with your friend right away, she will always remember it and hate you for it.

Q: Ok...well I met this guy online and we're really good friends now and somehow he got my cell phone number. Well one night he called me and we talked on the phone for a while but it was like a free call because i have free long distance and free after 9. So does anyone know if it still shows up on my phone bill? Because my parents are all like "don't talk to people on the internet you don't know" and they would freak and want to know who I'm talking to in other states and junk. So what should I tell them if it does show up on the bill?

Well no matter, if they find it or not, you shouldn't be talking to people from the internet, because for all you know hes some 50 year old guy, and thats nasty.

Q: At home sometimes I use a nasty answer and my mom takes it the wrong way when I dont mean to. Therefore, she does not trust me as much and thinks Im disrepectful and doesnt let me go many places. What can I do to fix this without having to tell her what happens in school and shit because I know she WILL NEVER understand...

I don't understand your question at all. What is a 'nasty answer' and what the fuck does that have to do with what happens on at school?

Q: im 15 and offered to watch my brothers instead of going out with my friends so my parents can go out. Its now 1:00 AM and they still have not returned. Im annoyed because its not fair that they think they can stay out til all hours of the night while i sat home on a friday night for THEM. If they were planning on staying out this late they should have told me. Honestly i have no idea what their out doing putzing around about..Am i wrong for being mad? How should i express how im annoyed at them? i understan that they are adults and a child has no right to yell and act like their parent..but im just annoyed with the lack of consideration i guess

You have no right to be mad, unless its at yourself. Your the one that offered to stay home, they didn't force you to. So stop bitching about your stupid mistake and trying to blame your parents.

Q: I seriously hate him so freaking much! I dont know what to do anymore his friends like me as friends and liek they talk to me online and then he comes home and tells my mom like a little freaking baby! Hes so annoying he calls me names all the time and makes me cry hes such a loser Hes never had a girlfriend hes 16 years old and im 14 I HATE HIM SO MUCH and i cant ignore him he lives with me he needs to move out of the house!he drives but never drives me places and hes so retarded he thnks hes all tough guy when his friends come over and he makes up SO MANY FREAKEN LIES! someone help me please ! sorry for the length

Ok, me and my brother are two years part too and hes the older one, and he does the same thing. But now he is 18 and im 16 (or at least about to be) and hes still kinda like that but not as bad. Hes just being protective, im guessing that your kinda pretty and have a cool personatity for his friends to be talking to you, so his friends might be getting little crushes on you and he doesn't want that to happen, because if you went out with one of your brothers friends that would be fucked up. And if hes bugging you alot, thats just his way of hanging out with you, and you just need to not stress over it, because like its doing now its just making you hate him, so just try not to see him as being 'retarted' (it will be hard) but it will make living with him bearable. Also when he calles you names, try to ignore him cause when he makes you cry, that means hes won. So insteed of crying, brake something of his. (sorry its so long)

Q: Okay i need a lil help on this one! okay i have this friend amber and she likes this guy and she always asks me to ask him if he would go out with her...everytime i ask him says"yes or kinda or i am about to say yes" well i told her that and she lie okay and all but i asked him yesterday and he said i might say yes...but she thinks he said yes i told her no but she said uh huh RIGHT! i have told him that she really likes him and he was like okay but the thing is he likes her best friend karli what do i say? or do?

Tell your friend to stop acting stupid and talk to him herself. What are you guys in like 5th or 6th grade? Stop being her 'middle man' because when she finds out that he dosen't like her, she'll be mad and some how blame it on you.

Q: when ever i talk to a boy, i always talk to them as a friend. when ever i try to flirt i cant. how can i flirt more. what should i say?

Giggle and smile. Even if you don't think he's all that funny, or for that matter it dosen't even matter if the conversation is funny at all, just smile and giggle alot, it works like a charm.

Q: Okay. I used to go to private skool 2 years ago. Me and this guy really liked eachother and we went to the skool dance together. I now go to public skool and I like this guy. The guy from private skool sent me an email today saying that he truly likes me. But
I think the guy from the public skool likes me too. Which one should I choose?

That private school must have sucked because they didn't teach you how to spell school, how sad. But anyways go with the guy at the public school because you would be able to see him more.

Q: Last year i went to this valentines day dance. my best friend had a girlfriend and i didnt and i felt like a "tag-along". he has so many girls that like him and i think it might happen again this year. i was thinking that i might try to ask someone too but i dont really like anyone so i dont have anyone to ask. I was just going to find someone that i liked a little bit and ask her but im not sure. Should i ask somebody or should i go alone like last year? What should i do? Please help.

Just go alone, or not go at all. Cause if you ask a girl, shes gonna take it as ya'll are going out and might be totally into you and then you'd just end up breaking her heart. So if you do go, go alone, and just hook up with girls there just to dance with.

Q: i really want a boyfriend! i feel like all my friends have boy friends and i dont! i want to ask this one kid out but i dont think he likes me like i like him. how can i find out?

The best way to find out is just to ask him out.

Q: Theres this guy I like at my school. Since school started, we've been really good friends and I've liked him and we've actually acted and seemed like we were more than that. Everyone around us seemed to think we were. We flirted a LOT.
Well, earlier in this month, he tried to ask this girl out whos a grade ahead of me and him and she turned him down. He really wanted to go with her but he still got over her very quickly. And even through all of this(school started in late August so its been about 4 or 5 months) he's flirted with me a lot and at least in my opinion, we've gotten closer.
So last night, I was talking to him on the phone and his mom got online under his screenname and I talked to both of them for a bit and his mom said I should come over and meet everyone sometime, that was cool. So then Josh and me hung up and he got online. Then he asked me for a picture of me and I asked him what for and he said because his mom wanted to know what I looked like. So I sent him a picture and he said his mom said I was cute. I was like, ok thanks and then I asked him if he thought I was cute. He said "Yes, I do" so then I told him about how people in our school have been telling me constantly that he likes me and I asked him if he really did and he said he wasn't ready to answer that question yet. So then we just started talking about music and out of nowhere he told me that he really did like me but he wasn't sure and stuff. He said, he likes me but he doesn't like me. Like, he's not sure if he wants to start something yet. He also told me that he thinks I only know the "school" him and not the "whole" him. That I only know part of who he is. And I accepted this, I was fine with this. So, I suggested me and him hang out together sometime and he was cool with that. Bottom line, he says he likes me a lot but hes not sure about everything completely yet. And I looked at his sun sign and he's a Libra and Libra's are known for being very indecisive. Now, I really want to get together with him because I'm really into him and well, you get the point, I suppose. But, I just wanna know, what can I do? If anything? Should I just wade it out and let him figure out how he feels himself? Talk to him about it more? Just try and get to know him more and let him get to know me more as friends? What should I really do because I just wanna be with him...?

You had alot of useless inforamtion. But anyways, like he said he wants you to know the 'whole' him so hang out with him more. But don't talk about it with him because then he will feel pressured. So if you guys spend alot of time together and it turns out you still like eachother then ya'll will go out, so just give him time, other wise he'll not want to go out with you.

Q: Hey...im a 14 year old bisexual and i want to have intercourse with the same sex...and i also want to tell my parents but i dont know how they will act... :( im kinda worried..

Signed..14 year old bi guy

I dont think you should tell your parents right away. Because your only 14 and even though you feel that your bi, it might not stay that way, so just wait a couple of years till your totally sure.

Q: im scared that my best friend since 4th grade has a new best friend. i love her so much and i dont know what to do. should i talk to her about it? im confused!! please help me...

Yeah, you should really talk to her, and just tell her that you feel left out. Maybe you could hang out with her and her new friend, it might turn out that you really like her too and if not you could just start hanging out with some other friends or find new ones.

Q: please suggest good rock groups/bands.. punk is ok too.. thats.. aren't that well known.. thx everybody

Q: i met this guy mike whos kinda cute, shy, extremely sensitive, and over mature. he likes me but we seem to be fading inour conversations. we barely talk at school so we always talk online. ive tried everything to keep the converstaions goin but i give up. i kinda like mike too but im losing interest faster than the speed of light. then my best friend, xris, told me he just about loves me. mike knows and hes mad. but i told him i liked him and xris would have to deal with dat but that might have changed.i think i lyk xris, wut do i do?

Yeah totally go with Xris.

Q: This is so embarrassing but i feel like my breath smells really bad all the time... i brush and use listerine twice a day and still cant get rid of it. Is there any good products out there or any suggestions on what to do? I don't think gum would help that much.
Thanks
*Erica*

Try drinking alot of water, I dont know if it will work but it sounds good.

Q: ok well im 13 and i like this guy but hes older, much older. We became friends cuz hes my friends older brother. we started to chill and talk everyday and got really close. then my mom didnt like that he was really old so she didnt want me to see him anymore. what should i do i really miss him??

Get over him. Thats all you can do. I went through the same thing when I was 14. And if hes a cool guy he can wait till your older and can acutally have a relationship with him.

Q: ok so i am really confused i guess. because at times i would like to have sex, because i think im 'ready' but then i get scared because i have no clue what to expect. so i dont know what to do .. can somebody help me out?

It means your not ready. So just wait till you dont have any doubts.

Q: my friend ( i just found out ) hasnt eaten in 3 days....we think she is trying 2 become anerexic...even though she is really skinny....she said she cuts herself 2...me and my friend malerie dont no wat we can do 2 help her....i offer her food but she doesnt take it....and she always seems depressed

Shes probly just trying to get attention. If she really had a problem with cutting herself then she would be trying to hide it and not show everyone. Same with the anerexic. Just tell her shes being stupid. Unless she does have a problem then tell her parents.
