about

I use to be on this site all the time. Got sick of reading the same exact questions and basically copying and pasting my answers because no one cared to read questions asked before them. So I left and haven't really been on here.
Ps. I'm not perfect and my advice isn't always right. & sometimes I choose to make it sound like you will get hurt more than you actually will to prevent people from doing stupid things. Like if I get drunk what can happen? Well i might just say you can die.....stretching the truth but I think its better than having people go out and get drunk. Plus you can die but you would have to have alcohol poisoning.

advice

Recently I started this kinda...relationship with one of my best friends (he's male, I'm female) and then I split up with him because it just wasn't working. I was happy after I broke up with him - I feel free, coz being with him I felt trapped. However, I keep wanting to read his live journal...I think this might be because I was friends with him so long so I can't just block him out (however much I try) and still kinda want to know what's going on with him...but what do you guys think?

Reading his l-j is not a big deal. It's not like you're calling him to try to get back with him. It also doesn't mean he has to know. Just don't leave a comment. If you do it just shows that you care and want to remain friends.

Ok so i recently signed up for myspace and have been going through old yearbooks and i ran into this girl i knew in junior high (im 18/m now) so i sent her a message saying she probably doesnt remember me but i went to school with her and just wanted to say whats up. she responded saying she doesnt remember me and im at a loss for how to respond. i was thinking of saying soemthing like "ok well i cant say im not disappointed but i didnt really expect you to remember me, if you ever wana talk about how much the school sucked or anything like that feel free to message me" but i was wondering if soemthing else maybe better. should i try to job her memory? should i reply with "oh well no big deal" or is there a even better response i have yet to think off? responses asap would be best. oh and not saying that romance is the last thing on my mind in this situation but it really isnt the reason, we were fairly good friends back then and i just wanted to get back in touch with her. thanks all for your help.

I love my space it's my addiction..haha anyway...Maybe get a picture of what you use to look like so she can remember you by that. Or say something that was maybe an inside joke or "Yea i didn't think you would. My name is (Name) and i was your friend in (grade #) we both had (teacher) and i remember how you use to always (what ever she always did or something she was known for) Maybe we can talk if you don't feel this is to weird" you can follow that with a sn or something and tell her to get back to you. add her as a friend or just use one of the ones you were going to go with.

Hi!!
I'm 16 but still in year 11 and I desperately want to move out. I have a job with a regular income (not huge but it's enough) and quite a bit of money saved up. Me and two of my friends want to move out and rent a house somewhere, but we don't know if anyone will rent to us!! Even though we're over 16, we're still in school and you can't get a full-time 'proper' job until you've finished year 11, so does anyone know if you can rent houses - and if you can, if anyone is willing to rent them to you! - before you finish year 11? Or will we have to wait until July, when the school year ends, despite our age?
Thanks loads!

Most people won't rent to you at 16 because of the signing. By law if you sign a contract and want to get out of it you can if you are under 18 for sure but you can even be older. So if they rent to you and you decide to get out you can because your signature is not worth all that much. I don't remember all the laws for this I would ask my brother because he’s talking a course on this stuff but he’s not home from college. So I recommend you look into the legal part of this. You will most likely need a cosigner. The laws and such vary per state. Plus moving out at 16 sounds like a good idea but you will end up needing your parents anyway. Nothing in this world is cheap these days and once the bills start coming you will think twice make sure you calculate what the income is and what you will be spending don't forget about (water,gas,electrogicty,food,drinks...etc) and you will also want money to just go shopping and have stuff to put into your house.

Well i am kinda inlove with this guy which i have never talked to him and he is older then me and he lives in my town and i always see him driving his car as i stare at him just imangining if he could once be with me.... I mean everyone in my town knows him but their all like if you go out with him he is nothing but dirt he droped outta school and nowworks my mom tells me she would suport me if i went out with him but i dont know what to ask him or i dont how to talk to him do you think i should try to or do u think he aint worth it????? because everynight i cry in bed and wishing he would go out with and give me a chance what should i do????

I'm hoping he’s not like 20 years older than you...haha. Well if he doesn't know how you feel or even know your name how is he ever supposed to ask you out? Don't listen to what everyone says live your life the way you want to and make your own mistakes. If you know where he works go hang out there with friends (DO NOT STALK HIM!). Get to know him for the person he is not by the way he looks or what everyone is saying about him. You can always start a conversation by saying "Hi" yea that always works. Tell him maybe that you saw him somewhere but can't remember where. Then say oh yea i think you were driving by my house.....

ew... ya, this is gross, but, im 14 and a girl. Ok, I kinda sweat a lot... its weird because noone else in my family has had this problem. No matter what shirt I wear, I always get like sweat circles under my arm-pits, so I ALWAYS wear hoodies. Even in gym, we have uniforms, and theyre extremely thick, and I still sweat through it! I've tried like everything! Wearing 2 shirts just makes it worse, and anti-persperent doesnt work either. I also usually put deodorant on, and on the inside and outside of my shirt where I sweat! ITS SO EMBARRASSING!! I told my mom, and she laughed. I really need help with this one, any tips or any reccommendations are appreciated!!

carry deodorant around with you and go to the reastroom every so often wash then apply. Try a heaver deodorant and if your out and it already happened then maybe carry an extra shirt with you or something.

hi i'm in 7th grade and i recently took the SATs for the talent search (not for college lol!). well i took it and got a 1060 which i think is actually pretty good for a 7th grader. but 3 people in my grade got like 1100 something and this boy even got a 1370 (which is unbelievably good! that's almost a 1400!). idk..but i'm just so mad, i mean how come i couldn't get those scores? am i just stupid!! my sister also got a better score. i always thought i was pretty smart since i got good grades a lot, but now for the first time, i feel stupid. what's wrong with me?

There is nothing wrong with you. You might have had an off day. Also the # you get on a test really doesn’t show how smart you are. No test is going to show what you really know. It's just a way of society to try to control you. Grades aren't everything even though they matter in this world. It's not like you got a bad grade anyway, you tried your best and that’s all that can be asked of you. Don't stress too much about it, you're really getting worked up over nothing. Just think about all the people who got a lower score then you. Just try better for next time. Hope I helped, if you have any more questions just ask :)

If you both have a history of doing that it's just going to continue. You both must have reasons for doing it all the time. Then you get lonely and want them back. and the cycle continues. If you do go back with him don't put to much into it until you see for sure that he is in it for the long run. Guessing that you are a teen most guys this age don't really want anything serious and its all fun and games. So just don't get hurt. In most cases though if you break up there really is no point or need to go back out, but thats my opinion. Just watch out and see how commited he is if you do give him another try.

Im trying to find a good book to read for school project andi cnat find one .... i've recently been reading books that involve drugs and relation ship.... and i like well really anyhting fiction that isnot fantsy, science ficion. or non-fiction PLEASE HELP

personally i hated this book but if you like stuff that has to do with drugs and stuff maybe you will enjoy "I never Promised you a Rose Garden" "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden presents a complete picture of mental illness from the patient's point of view, without the stigma of wrongness that is frequently associated with it. The picture painted is a very real one, from Deborah's relief when the doctors confirm what she's known all along, that something is not right, to the way her family deals with the fact of her illness. Greenberg/Green evokes very strong emotions with her writing. You feel Deborah's fear that her secret world of Yr will punish her for revealing its existence to her doctor, and you share in her triumph when she begins to make her way back to the world. I put down this book with a little more understanding of how it must feel to be mentally ill." summary of the book that i found

iunno why i'm late for most things because i sleep in. i get like 10 hours of sleep a day or i need 10 hours of sleep a day if i dunget 10 hours i sleep in so i get 10 hours. how can i make myself wake up without stalling and needing more sleep?

Most people always stall and need and want more sleep. Thats why getting up your self is always the best. Not like that happens to often. Just put up and alarm for an earlier time. Maybe to your cd if you can. Try for the alarm not to be right by your bed so you just don't hit it to stop. Then make coffee or wash your face to try and get up. If ten hours is what you need then make sure you go to bed at a time that you know you will get up 10 hours later.

I've been majorly depressed since May of last year. and I went through a lot of stuff during that time, including therapy. Two days before Christmas, my boyfriend (Kyle) broke up with me and made the whole depression thing worse, until I eventually got over that.
Well, after Kyle broke up with me, this other guy that has always been there for me through anything, being kind of like an older brother, confessed that he has feelings for me. Hes the sweetest anyone has ever been to me. I love him. But, a couple weeks ago Kyle asked me back out, and I couldn't go back out with him because he broke my heart, and our relationship wasnt that great to begin with. Anyways, since then I've been really really depressed, I got the the point where I was suicidal, and I almost killed myself. I told the other guy that I can't date him now, even though I really want to, because I think I should wait until I start to get happy again. I've been seeing my schools "crisis counselor", and I'm starting to feel better...slowly but surely. And now I'm scared to get my heart broken again. I dont know what to do, because I really want to date him. I know he would wait for me until I feel realyl ready to date him, and I want to date him now...I dont know what to do though, Im just confused. Any advice?

well everyone has there heart broken and if you don't give him a change you will never know what could have happened. being scared of pain will cause you more pain in the end.

Ok, So last night (Saturday night) I met this girl (17 bout 4 months younger than me) and we talked, kissed, etc, Then she left and I got her phone number. Well, It's Valentines Day Tonight at midnight, and I was wondering if it would be too soon to ring her at midnight to wish her a happy Valentine? Or should I wait until morning? Any advice within the next 2 hours would be much appreciated! Btw I am 17/m

There really isn't a time limit of when you have to call. So if you want to call at 12 go for it. Just make sure shes not sleeping.

btw his mom had a baby like 6 months ago and i go over to see it sometimes and i use that as an excuse to go talk to him lol but i ahvent done that for a while bc i dont knoe what to say when i talk to him!!

also hes really shy hes never had a gf cuz hes so shy but soo much gurls like him!! ahh help

When you go over there just start up a conversation with him, about anything like...school, what you both have been up too, what you like to do, hobbies and anything else. Maybe interests that you share, just talk to him like you would to any other guy.

Okay well usually at night at like 12:30 or 1 in the morning on fridays or saturdays i walk to see my boyfriend cause thats like the only way i get to see him..cause he's not really suppose to be any females.. but like i been doing this for 7 months.. and last night i got caught by the cops for curfew i was salty as hell... and my mom didnt really care that i went out that late but she thought i was driving round with friends not walkin the streets but i guess if i was her i'd be mad too cause i live in a bad neighborhood.. but anyways like i said thats the only way i'd get to see my boyfriend and i wanted to be with him really bad last night cause my birthday and valentines day is on monday and i wont see him there... so i keep worryin to like what if we dont see eachother? he said he wouldnt break up with me.. but im like a big worrier.. so i need advice on what you think do you think i should chance it tonight and try and see him.. i mean i know no guy is worth goin to jail for or anything.. but i jus wanna be with him more then anybody.. and i've had problems at home and like i can only talk to him and i feel like i need to..and i like talkin to him in person instead cause he comforts me more then talkin on the phone..Much luv i rate high and sorry so long

Why doesn't he sneak out to see you? You really shouldn't be walking alone at night in a bad neighborhood and especially if you can land in jail. Meet up during the day in public places and then like go to your house or something. Meet at a friend’s house or anywhere that you feel safe and can be alone that doesn't require you to go to jail. And I don't see why he would break up with you anyway, not like you did something.

Okay, there's this guy I like named Brandon. There's also my best friend Alyssa who loves but always says that me and him should go out. She's even wrote him a letter (w/ out me knowing) saying the we should go together. But he didn't answer. She made me before admit to liking him (but I really didn't but I only said it to make her happy) but then I had told her that I didn't. Now, she likes someone else, and me and Brandon has had some tutor time.... so I am now attracted to him more than ever. I jux dunno what to do cause she likes him. She told me that she thinks he likes me and that she totally fine with saying that. But I don't if he really does like me and, if he does, what should I do???

if he likes you just flirt with him see if he returns the signals, try to hang out with him and just see where it all leads to.

Ok, well me and my close friend have been hanging out w/ each other since like 2nd grrade. Well now i'm in 7th grade now, and she has guys always constantly around her. She is gorgeous and is quite popular. Well my problem is, the guy i like has a crush on her. Me and him use to like each other until he met her, and now he fell for her. Is there anyway i can get her back? Please help me! Guys, what do u find attractive in a girl?!?!

"get her back" don't you mean him? well if your friend dosn't like him have her tell him that so maybe he will try and get over her and thats where you will come in and be the friend that listenes to him tell you how much he likes her and you telling him to get over her and junk and during that process flirt and do other stuff to get him to like you. oh and a word of advice just be your self don't do anything just to make him like you, because then he isn't falling for you hes falling for something you're not

My old bff spread rumors that i was cutting myself and had social problems when i was out of school one week beacause i had mono. Everyone believed them and it about ruined my social life i had no friends for about a month then i met my new bff. The old one apologized and we are friends again but she always tries to start little fights between us like i couldnt talk to her crush or ne other boy cuz i have a bf. Wut should i do? friends or not friends?

you don't need a friend like that in your life. She dosn't seem to be worth all the trouble and confusion that you're going through right now.
