so my b/f was on AIM and he's at the movies with his sister and my bf`s friend katie . anyways, he IMed me & said "hey im with people who hate you" and i`m all "wow thats nice . because they thing i`m a pansy , right? just because i wear hollister doesn`t make me a prep . get over it"
(i get really annoyed because he is on the punkish-emo side & so are his friends) anyways someone goes "this is his sister & katie we hate you go suck a penis you pansy!" and idk what i should do , he was being really rude && idk what i should say to him the next time i talk to him . any advice ? what should i tell him ? break-up or not ?

dump him.
he's a pansy for letting
them treat you like that!
just be like,
"We're over. I don't like the way your sister and whomever else trated me. They're rude and judgemental and you did nothing to stop them."

and not that I'n in any way a fan of hollister,
but they shouldn't judge you by what you wear.
steorotypes are the stupidest thing since high school musical for godssake.
(no offense if you like high school musical though)

or if yuo really like the guy and all that jazz,
then talk to him about it.
Tell him you think it's unfair and judgemental that they say those things to you, and it hruts you that he dosen't defend you.

hope it helps

a friend and me kissed and now she's avoiding me and spreading rumors that im a lesbian. What the hell?

so you consider somene who spreads rumors you're a lesbian a friend?
no, i'd tell everyone she's jealous that you refuse to kiss her again and make her look bad.
then she'll be saying what the hell?
haha.
or you can be nice about it and just say, "hey stop with the rumors. it isn't cool and I tought we were friends. that kiss meant nothing."

Do you think he wants something serious.. or just to get in my pants.

no. and not to be rude,
but what would a 17 year old guy wnat with a 14 year old girl.
a relationship?
no, he's shady and wants to get in your pants.

and next time, again not to be rude, don't use letters and confusing sim conversation setup.
like the person below me, my brain was going to exploade. :]

i have theis guy friend.
we went out.
he really mean a lot to me.
we broke up becasue of soemthing really dumb I did, not cheating or anything.
but now I think I still love him and I try to tell him but idk wht to do.

help me?

to be completely honest with you.
I can't help you.
I'm in the same situation.
it sucks.
I hate it and I don't understand it.
i've tried to tell him I miss him,
he dosen't get it.

I think with these guys,
both yours and mine,
they really don't get it.

they don't understand that we didn't realize what we had and then throwing it away for someone else, in my case, who wasn't nearly half as good as him was the dumbest thing i've ever done.
Now I dunno if you went for another guy too but whatever the situation, regardless of what it was, it wasn't worth it. and now we end up losing.
ugh. why do guys have to be like this?

Sorry if I'm absolutly no help oncesoever.

But I know where you're coming from and how you feel.
I just wish these guys did, too.

i have a really thick hair and i was wondering which straightener would work bests. CHI STRAIGHTENER OR THE MAXIGLIDE? and which ones cheaper? thank you!

well i heard that the chi straighteners work really well.
they range from around 100-140 dollars. i believe.
maxiglides i really dont have feedback as to whether they work well or not,
but the prices start at like 90 dollars.
so the prices arent all that differnet.
I actually have a conair one and it works amazingly
it was only like 35 bucks too :]

hope it helps

my friend saw some girl on his profile on myspace
like the whole ilysfm jazz.
and i asked him why hed cheat on me.
and he said he isnt.
i dont know what to believe.
i even went on hers an she had his picture too saying how much SHE loves him.
i love him alot.
im really hurt.
i pretend to him that it was okay
[we didnt breakup]
i just pretended i was reassured.
why cant he be honest with me?
what do i do?
l:

just cause she said that
dosen't mean he's cheating on you.
I know tons of girls who leave things like that
on my guy friend's myspace.

just ask him who she is
don't make it a big deal though.

Cause she might just be a flirty friend.
No need to tear yourself up over it.

I can't swallow pills and so i usually cut big ones in half or something, but these new ones i got taste AWFUL without the coating on it and because it's cut i can taste it. it's so bad i cant even take them, are there any ways that you can like mix them into something so you don't taste much of it? thank you so much

I can't take pills either.
It's really ahrd for me for some reason.

I'm putting together this little notebook with meaningful quotes and sayings. I just wanted to hear what everyone's favorite quotes were. It could be about anything; love, life, death, happiness, sadness, work, friendship, etc. The quotes may or may not be from a movie.

If you have heard some kind of quote that really inspired you in some way, please share. I promise to rate! Thanks!

everything happens for a reason,
soemtimes things fall apart
so other things can fall into place.
but in the end,
what's mean to be will always find it's way.

and i also love:

At this moment
there are
6,470,818,671
people in the world.
some are running scared, some are coming home.
some tell lies to make it through the day, others are just not facing the truth, some are evil men, at war with good, and some are good, struggling with evil.
six billion people in the world,
six billion souls.
And sometimes, all you need is one.
- one tree hill.
