advice

okay well what happened was that i was sitting with this guy i'm dating, (let's call him.. orange) and all of that. then my friend, let's call her apple (bisexual girl who already has a girlfriend) wanted to tell me something. and she works with orange.. like.. way way before, orange told me that he could see himself liking these two girls.. but he doesn't. so that didn't really bother me. and then today, i just found out that at his work place.. he's been flirting with alot of girls and stuff. and that everyday he grabs this one girl's booty. and then apple was like "orange, stop you have a girlfriend" and he goes like "no, we're not dating yet." and then apple was like "well still, you're not supposed to do that even when you're about to go out with somebody" and like.. everyone that worked there got mad at him. and he's known as a pervert there. and i got soo mad today at school! i wanted to cry, but i didn't. now, i don't know what to do.. ever since 4th period, he's been following me around. and i've been ignoring him cause he KNOWS that i'm mad at him. for example, today after school he was following me.. and then i ran off with this one guy. and then he followed me in the orchestra room, then i left him again.

he doesn't flirt with girls at school, but when he works he does -_____-" even this one girl commented him and was like "idk why they hate you, just stop flirting with so many girls" and then he goes "can i still flirt with you?" and she goes like "Uhhh.. no, that'd be awkward" and then he goes "yeah, i'm about to go out with this one girl anyways.. i don't think she'll like it" and he still does it.

..&& no, apple doesn't like orange. apple is my best friend, and she told me this so i could make the right choice. and i've gone out with orange before, but broke up three years ago. but, this is something new.

what should i do?! help me please

This is a tough situation. This si wherre you have to decide weather to belive your BEST friend or your BOYfriend. See. This is a tough situation. I'm going to tell you who to choose. But go and talk to 'orange'. Ask him be like is this true. Bear in mind that he might lie. Ask 'apple' if shes okay with going with you to confront him. It would be easier to just do it like that. If shes not comfertable don't tell him your source just ask him. If he deny's it. Just be like okay, but don't do it i'm not saying I don't belive you it's just that I have to listen to both sides. Deside if you want to stay with him. If you do just be like okay, just stop and don't do it.

I hope this kinda make sence.
good luck
if you want though, if you don't get it, drop me a personal question and i'll explain it better.

I said some things that i wish that i could take back right now but I can't and I just feel like my life isn't going to get any better right now. What do i do from here?

Wrong. Your life can get WAY better. It's not about how you got down, it's how you build yourself back up. Build yourself up stronger. Apologize to the people you said it to. DOn't deny, don't lie. Say what you said and come clean. It might take somepeople some time to be able to forgive you, but you'll be a better person because of it.

Good luck, hope i helped

Do you think that people need social interaction to get by? Or could someone get by being alone? As in no friends, and pulling away from family members.
I ask because lately I've been having a way easier time being alone because people I get close to only end up hurting me. But then again, I'm pretty lonely. I can't really win either way. =\
I just wondered what your opinions are.

I feel like, being alone is needed. However, you need to have people there to talk to. I understand how you feel, because I was in the exact same situation a year ago. You can't be afaid to have friends, be close to family or have a relationship just because you you are scared that you may get hurt in the end. Try to find at least one person who will be there for you. Being alone may feel like the best thing but it can distroy a person from the inside. You can loose self-confidence and loose valuble social skills that you may need to know later in life. Obviously, i'm assuming you are young. But to be happy you need to be able to interact with others. Good luck and i hope you become happy with whatever you choose to do.

it is my last day of school on the 10 oct, and everyone dresses up as something funny or weird, or anything.... i just don't know what to dress up as? i am not in the US, or any first world country, so i can't rent or buy a costume, so anything innovative and creative that uses normal things would really help! thanks! any ideas.... just ANY! kind of desperate!

Be a tacky tourist. Get like white paint and paint your nose, get obnoxious socks and have them go half way up your calf. Put on a hawian shirt with shorts up to your belly bouton. Sungless on string around neck, hat with pins.

GOod luck
hope i helped!

so i like this one dude "bobby"
butt so does this girl "molly"
he sat next to me at church.
and we held hands.
then.. molly started crying
which is totally stupid and pointless to cry over something like that.
but then today at school he was huggin her and holding her hand cuz she was upset or somethin?
is he even worth my time?

That depends. This guy knows that he has 2 girls that want him. So why should he settle down with one of them when he can have two? Yes, she shouldn't have cryed over something as dumb as that. But, this kid may not even like you. He could be using you just to get you to like him even more and then later he can like talk you into doing something you don't want to do. He's making you like him and its working. It's not worth your time, move on!

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read this.

At my school, we have two Improv teams: a Junior team and a Senior team. I am on the Senior team, and run the Junior as well as the Senior team with my friend. We organize practices, competitions, T-shirts and workshops- it's a lot of work, but I love it! Both teams participate in the Canadian Improv Games (CIG).

Anyway, we are tired of doing similar warm-ups/Improv games during practices. Does anyone have any suggestions as to some games we could play in order to have fun and raise the team's skill level?

Please don't recommend the following, as we already play/practice/perform these:

-Pop Up Book
-BANG
-Whoosh Whoosh Whoa!
-Cat and Mouse
-Life Event
-Story Event

I would appreciate all suggestions!

First of all, I don't know any of the names to these, so i'm not sure if they are the same as what you are saying or not, so sorry if they are. There is this one gemae that we played when i took an improv class. And it was like you had to tlak in all questions. It was really hard because you couldn't andven say No. why? ALl questions. For example, you name a random settin, umm.. the pizza parlor. What pizza place are we at? Didn't you choose this place? etc.

We also played this game where you had 3 people and code words like one was pie two was coffe three was chocolate

and you have a scene like a coffee shop and your sitting there talking and when someone says one of the code words (pie,coffee,chocolate) then they leave or come back. But the trick is that when you leave you have to mkae an excuse like oh, i have to go to the bathroom. And when you return be like woah, i needed that. If you don't get it then send me a personal question and i'll explain better.

Also, cheak out this site: http://improvencyclopedia.org/games/index.html

i want to find the perfect homecoming dress. i'm looking for something maybe white/gold strapless or any cute dress that might look good on a blonde.

websites/stores would be greatly appreciated =)

Okay, i love these questions!!

If your looking for an inexpensive dress try:
Macy's
Khol's
Carson's
Nordstroms
JCPenny

But, people will most likely have the same dress as you.

If your looking for a dress that no one has, then prepare to pay at least $100 for it.
Then, you'll have to go to boutiques. I can't give you names because they vary from city to city.

Most people do not buy ofline becuase if it doesn't fit and returning it, its just a feasco. But, that may be the direction you would want to go for. Most people don't buy ofline, and you can find some cute cheap ones.
For mine, i searched Google then from there browesed around the site.

Here are some links to dress sites:

Alright.
im a senior this year and i already know what im studying and where im going...and im actually getting a soccer scholarship. I have wanted this so bad for so long! It is a real dream come true for me!
But im scared out of my mind!!!!!!!
because its in santa cruz, which is 5 hours away from where i live now.
Im so scared to leave everything behind...and be on my own with no one...and leaving my friends is going to be so hard!
so any advice, or anyone been in this situation before...?
Thanks so much!!!

Honestly, this is a fantastic oppertunity. If you don't take this, where do you plan on going? What do you plan on doing? If your friends right now are true friends then they'll make the effort to stay in touch. You'll meet so many more people in college. You need to eventually become more independent and this is the exact way to do it. There are people who go half way across the country just to go to college. Your LUCKY to be so CLOSE to home. Yes, it will be hard saying good-bye, it never is. But, stay in touch and live your dream. DOn't be scared. Don't hold back.

Hello,

I have a friend and her 13 y/o daughter who are driving me crazy. They are living with my family at the moment (for free) and I have helped her out with thousands of dollars in which I am now very bitter about, but that is besides the point. I am normally a very giving and patient person, but I am at the end of my rope and about to blow.
These two disagree with every single thing my son/daughter or I have to say. It doesn't matter if I say the sky is blue, they'd say it's green. I can't even hold a conversation with either of them. Typically I just say "I see your point" or "oh really" and back off for the sake of not arguing. It's insulting to do so, because many times they are not correct--but are know it alls.
How does one deal with people like this?

I think what you need to do is lay down the law. Sit her down and start by saying i'm sick of the arguing so lets talk calmly and appropriately in an adult manor. Then go on to say that she isn't treating you the right giving the circumstances--your giving her a lot for nothing in return. Just basicly say that you diserve some respect. Here her side to. COme to an agreement. She might have to move out just to save you friendship. If your that important to her and shes that important to you, you'll do anything to get back on good terms. While you are agreeing with her your showing her that she can do what ever she wants in YOUR house. And that she can get away with everyhting. Next time be like i understand where you are comming from, but i fell like... and explain your self, if it developes into an arguement just be like okay, this constant argueing needs to come to an end. And it does, You shouldn't feel like this in your own home.

Try talking it out and if that doesn't work then maybe its your friends time to move out.

Also, don't talk to her kid. Talk streight to your friend. It will develope into a non fixable fight, trust me!

good luck!

to get homecoming dress?
:)

Well, that really depends. If you want a dress that most likely, everyone will have go to Macy's, Carson's, JC Penny's. But, I would suggest going to boutiques. Boutiques don't sell the same dress to people from the same school, so you will be likely to be the only one wearing it. Since we dnt know where you live, I can't suggest anything. Go through the mall and go into everydress shop you wouldn't normally go to. Also, look in the phone book and call around. Look online to see if they have a website.

Good luck and i hope you find your dream dress!

so should i still try for him?

or

should i try to hook them up?


its not like im in love with him i would rater see him happy with her then not happy with me and wer friends so i cool with that!!

I understand that you want to make him happy but you also need to make yourself happy. Don't like put yourself go major flirty on him but don't hook him and this girl up, you'll regret it. No one wants to see the guy they like all over some other girl, so if you hook them up its like you brought it apon yourself. Just be like nutrul. Don't drop hints to meg about him or anything just be like thats his business and i'm going to go and find a real guy. and if he ends up likeing you then go for it!

my friend is 16 and pregnant and shes my best friend, and shes thinking about abortion but like its her fault and the fathers, that she got pregnant what can i say to her to make her listen to other options like ive tried to bring it up but she keeps saying she wouldnt feel guilty and all this stuff
what should i do or say?

Tell her to look into adoption. There are people out there that desperately want a child and if she is unable to provide for hers, they will gladly take it from her all expenses paid. Tell her to look into it. Just be like it saves a life and makes not only the child, but the family the child is adopted into happy. But, you do have to understand that this is not your disition. Don't back off, just try to get her to change her mind. Maybe she doesn't want to tell her parents so that might be why she wanta abortion cuz then that way she doesn't have to tell her parents that she got pregnet. Listen to her story and make sure she is positive aobut her final disition. Try a Pro con list.

good luck

So i liked this guy since 7th grade and now im in 9th grade.
So today we had a football game and during half time he smiled and waved at me NOT his friends though.
but when the game was over all the guys were high-fiveing everyone and then when he got to me hes like no...


Like his friends and my friends are close but we act ( iguess) like we hate each other but at other times when were in a class together we smile at each other a lot and talk once and a while.

i remember in the 9th grade he found out that i liked him and freaked out.

like i never did anything to bother him but he really doesnt like to high five me or hug me or do anything that involds me.

i mean we're both blondes and tall but
does he or does he not like me?

I think he thinks that you have a thing for him. Do you still? That might be why hes acting strange. I think that he likes you as a person but knowing that you 'like' him, in his mind, he doesn't want you to think he does so he tries to avoid things that involve him looking like he likes you. Just drop him. Whatever. Your young and you can find a better guy. If you want to try to become friends with him then just talk to him about a guy you do like then he'll reaalize that you don't like him and then possibly stop treating you weird.

hope i helped

ok, my boyfriend of like 2 weeks told me today that he loved me.. i was kinda speechless and didn't end up saying anything because i was so taken back by it. its not that i don't love him, i just don't really know yet, its only been 2 weeks and this is my first relationship. anyway, what does that exactly say about him (saying that he loves me so early in the relationship) and what can i say next time he says that to be that won't hurt his feelings or anything like that? if anyone could help me out a bit, that would be great, thanks in advance for your advice :)

He might be a player. But I don't know him, so i can't really say accurately. But the next time he says that, just be like, i'm really confused about my feelings right now, but I really do care and like you. And thats telling him you like him but not sure if you 'love' him

So I'm scared....my mom is at illinois and im in iowa. My brother just left me and im scared to be alone at my house...i have my black lab and 2 knives my brother gave to me.....but i still dont feel comfortable...im scared and im tired of being scared of everything!!what are some easy ways to get me relaxed???I always feel like someone is going to come into the house and murder me....not to long ago my dad called and said he was coming to get us this weekend...my mom ws freaked and so am i.....i've had nightmares of him coming into my house and killing my family and i....and if i think i hear something downstairs i think a muderer is in my house......i cant watch or think of a scary movie ori wouldnt be able to fall asleep for hours.....should i get some help....one thing i also hate is how my friends want to watch scary movies but they all stare at me because i cant watch them at all...so i feel like the party pooper.....plz help me or ill never be able to live on my own without my family to protect me!!!!:'(

I think your just thinking or possible situations. Try having some noise on at all times, like the tv, radio etc. Ask a friend if you can sleep at their house till your mom comes home. Or have a friend sleep over. When you grow up, don't tell your father where you live that way you'll have nothing to be afraid of. Keep all the doors locked, when you leave, and when your home. Look out the window of the floor above your door to see who it is, do't answer if u dn't know who it is.

So this guy just asked me to the homecoming dance and i think he very funny but i dont see me dating him at all.....i think im looking for a guy whos actually cute...and sweet....hes kinda on the fatside too(the guy who asked me)....so how should i turn him down?

First of all, pick a date because you will have fun with them. going to homecomming doesn't mean your going out with them. But just tell him your going with a group of friends instead of with a date. Or, if you alread y have a guy asking you FOR SURE. then say you allready have a date.

Hey there.
I'm an 18 yo Female! : )

Basically school started on August 25th, and I've already missed 4 classes in a row in the past 2 weeks. Last week I had a cold and my doctor said I was too sick to go to school, and this week I had pink eye. so I've had to stay off.

Tomorrow's going to be the 4th day of class I've missed. I've been e-mailing my teachers letting them know what's going on. I just don't want to be completely lost when I go back to class, I've been keeping up with the work.

Do yall think there's anything else I should do? I don't want them to think I'm skipping.

Your doing really good, but make apptmnts. to meet with your teachers to get the lectures and other important information that you missed from not being actually IN the class.
