Just try making friends with her. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

Also, if that doesn't work, then just hang out with the other people.

You'll have fun, don't worry! :)

Do you live where I live? :0

My friends lately have been doing an abundance of activities without including me. They will go ice skating, or play tennis at the local YMCA. I do not know why they all of a sudden do not want anything to do with me, but it is really getting under my skin. I will call their houses but they will always be on the phone with my other friends. Basically, my question is:
1) How can I talk to my friends, and let them know how I feel.
2) After I talk to them, what is a good activity to do with them?

Thank you, Advicenators, for your help!

Gee-I just went through the same thing.
I ended up talking to my friends-challenging, but I did it.

Maybe they don't realize that they're doing this to you?

1)Speak straight from your heart. Whatever's on your mind, speak it. They're your friends because you can trust them-and this will test their trustworthiness.

2)Start by staying at one of your houses-just hanging out. Gradually work your way to what you used to do before they started leaving you out.

Good luck!!

Hey. Well, I get these random "spells" as I call them, of depression. I don't know if I'm bipolar. And like, I have a pretty good life. Not perfect, obviously, but not as bad as other people's. I don't know what's wrong with me. Also, I have little to no self-esteem, if that helps at all. Help!! And thanks in advance :].
P.S. 13/f, Idk if that will help anybody.

Hey,

Everyone has these "spells". It's normal for the most part. As long as it's not all the time and you're not thinking of something like suicide, cutting, or purposely harming yourself in any way, I think you're fine.

Whenever you're blue, think of this:
THERE IS AT LEAST ONE PERSON THAT HAS A WORSE LIFE THAN YOU.
That's what I think of, and for the most part, it cheers me up. You only live life once, why live it sad?

As well as you, I have little to no self esteem; however, just think: you're prettier than someone else-and there's at least someone in the world who thinks your the most gorgeous person in the world.

Keep your chin up, babe!

how can i take off my acrylic fake nails without going back into the salon to get them taken off?

ive heard about soaking them in hot water.

Soak in acetone for 2 - 5 minutes and peel off :)

how can I get smooth lips and get rid of the lines?chapstick does not work.

Hey,
The probable reason your lips are like that is because it's winter time.

The solution? Easy.
1. Slick on a bit of cocoa butter for a moisturizing, chocolate-flavored lip treat. It’s colorless and not too shiny.

2. After brushing your teeth, GENTLY brush your lips as well. This will exfoliate and take away chapping, and will also plump up the lips temporarily.

3. Keep hydrated! Be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day.

4. A dab of honey on your lips will act as a humectant, drawing moisture from the air to your skin, keeping your lips soft, plump, and kissably sweet.

5. A dab of vegetable glycerin mixed with vitamin E or wheat germ oil makes an effective, nourishing moisture barrier. (Pure vegetable gycerin is available in natural food centers.)

Good luckkk! :)

okay, so my boyfriend and i have been dating for about 2 months. we hit it off really well & we have a very very healthy relationship. we are both strong christians, and have morals, but the farthest we've gotten is french kissing. Now we have friends of ours that we double date with alot. They've gotten way farther than us. like they haven't gone all the way, but he's like fingered her & she says that they've done things that she regrets. but idk. i don't really have an issue with going any farther with my boyfriend. but is it wrong to do anything? because i just feel like a goody goody.

HELP!

Hey,

As far as you want to go is how far you should go. Don't do something you may regret-especially "going all the way". There are way too many consequences, especially if you don't use a condom. (I'm sure you don't want to be lectured about the downfalls of having sex, lol.)

Good luck

i hate asking my parents 4 money because thell lecture me about it and i never get the money.
so i want to know im a 13/F and i want to get a way to get money. doing chores isnt gonna get me anywhere. they dont give me money for that. and they wont give me an allowence. so yeah. do you know of anyway that i could get money?.

Hey,
Rake leaves, Babysit, Shovel Snow, landscaping, you can hand out flyers for pizza places ect...deliver newspapers, sell stuff on ebay, walk dogs,go to your local library [they should have jobs], go to your park and rec,clean houses, referee for a sport you enjoy, run errands on your bicycle, wash cars, loansharking....etc. :)

Good luck!!

i hear people saying that people who love you look at you a certain way... what way is that and can you tell??

Hey,

I think it's more of a saying than it is factual.
However, if somebody likes you, they'll probably stare at you. :)

this is a long story but i got 2 give background info!
so a week from saturday i was at shool (its like jewish church) and i saw this boy and had my ffriend entroduce us because she knows him from baseball. usually i have nno problem talking to boys but around him i got so nervous. i couldent say three words so i walked away. then this saturday i saw him at the park so i went up to him and asked him if he wanted to go to a party that night. he said sure and so i asked for his # and said id call him with the details. he gave me his cell # and i texted him that night and gave him all the details. he actually came and i came about a half hour after. when i got there i asked him if he wanted to dance and he said sure. we danced for a while until he had to go. he was talking to one of my guy friends and said he wanted to kiss me. but i wasnt ready for that because i didnt know him. so before he left he leaned in to kiss me so i gave him a kiss on the cheek. and while we were dancing i told him i had a huge crush on him. but some people were talking that i wanted to make my ex jelous. but i couldent care less about my ex. the boy i was dancing with, he has the most amazing eyes and hes so nice i just want to be with him. but i think im scaring him off. i dont want to play games and wait until he texts me or whatever. he knows i like him. and yesterday i texted him twice but he never answered. and today he texted me back and i was like im nvr gnna c u again and hes like i gtg do hw now bye. so now i dont know i dont really want to lose him but im pretty sure he just wanted to hang out for a night. i could handle that though. i just want to know your opinion about the situation thanx!

Hey,
I think he was just using you for a kiss, if he's never going to see you again, then he doesn't really care about you :(. You could have scared him off sending him all of those text messages, I wouldn't text him anymore or try and contact him in any way.

Good luck..

13/f. i loved butterflys 2 years ago and have never had a boyfriend so my mom said i was a lesbian. and she wasnt joking or anything. now i like black and dark colors she says im gothic and she says goths like peircings~i have had both my ears double peirced for about 4 years~and now since she says im gothic which im not she took all my earings and made me take out my earings to make them close up. she reads my diary and makes sure about wat i do or think or anything my friends do or just everything and makes sure i do nothing bad. so one day i wrote in my diary 'mom since your reading this and i no you will leave me alone i hate you i always have u give me no space' i got grounded for a month and she told every1. she doesnt have to read it and espesially not tell my whole family and cusins. its my diary shouldnt it be private? did i do sumthing wrong or what?

Hey,
WOW! She's really stereotypic about gothics and homosexuals.

You have to talk to her-this is a whole trust issue. I don't think she trusts these "kinds" of people.

If you really aren't, assure her that you're not-wear pink if she thinks you're gothic and write in your diary "I know this one kid, Bob*, and he is super hot." -OR- "There was this girl hitting on me today and it was totally disgusting!" if she still thinks you're lesbian.

Hide your diary in a really, really complicated spot. IE: In a sibling's room, between your mattress and pillowcase, in your underwear draw, etc.

AND IF SHE STILL CONTINUES, DISCONTINUE USING A DIARY.

Good luck..& hope this helpssss! LET ME KNOW HOW EVERYTHING GOES. :)

i just started dating this guy about 6 days ago and i dont like him anymore. the truth is i dont like him because hes like really fat and ugly. plus we never get to see eachother beacuse he lives about 45 minutes away from me. i want to break up with him but im not a mean person at all (although it does seem like it cus of the reason i sont like him) i dont know why i went out with him in the 1at place. ive only seem him once and i dont know when im gonna see him again. but i just need good reasons to break up with him without being mean. i need more than just we dont get to see eachother much but... i do feel bad by saying that so please dont make comments that are mean to me.. im not a mean person at all.

Hey,

REASONS:
1.) I never see you.
2.) I think I'm starting to move on.

So, you could IM him and be like (w/o being mean)
Hey,
Listen..I'm really sorry, but I don't think this is working out for us. I mean, I never see you so I think I'm starting to move on. It's hard to get together since you're 45 minutes away. And I trust you and all but who knows if you're cheating on me? It's just too complicated. I'm really sorry and if you don't want to be friends, I understand.
-(your name here)

Hope I helped..good luck & let me know how everything goes!

I'm supposed to do an 'argument essay' about a topic of my choice. I chose the topic of "instant messaging". Do you guys have any info on msn i should take into consideration?

Hey,
I'm assuming it's like pros and cons of IMing?

Last year, there was this very complicated situation, that I won't explain, but basically there were two girls, and I was one of them. He chose the other one over me, because of popularity. Now, from what I hear from friends and his facial expressions, he regrets it. Since that situation last year, he's been, what I call, "depressed". He used to be known for his smiling.

Now, he hardly ever smiles or has fun. I don't know what's going on personally, but I don't think he was abused, or his parents died or anything.

Now, every time I see him, he looks like he's in pain. Not physically, but mentally.

I would ask, but our relationship is very broken, we can barely even talk to each other, without it all flooding back.

But I feel something, every time we look at each other. It's probably nothing.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Have one of his friends or your friends ask him if anything's wrong with him.


Good luck,
Jam

B)scrunch it. (http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art4077.asp)

I have hair on my breats... not on the nipples, but around them. What's a good way to remove it that isn't very painful?

Hey,

Honestly, I wouldn't do anything-
Everyone has them-you're not different.
I mean, unless you can see them really clearly and there's a lot, then I'd pluck them. But if you don't have a lot, then just leave them alone.

=) Good luck

Last night my best guy friend stopped by around 11 ish or so. Well, I ended up kissing him, dispite the fact he has a girlfriend. I've liked him for so long, and I just had to take a chance because I didn't want to keep wondering what would happen if I hadn't done it.

Well, now I'm not sure what to do. He seemed to like it, I mean he kept asking to stay for a couple more hours, and he invited me to hang out later today. But I'm kind of curious as to what I might expect. He told me he liked it, even though I totally caught him off gaurd.

But where should I go from here?
Should I wait and see what happens?
Or should I try to make another move?

Hey,

Uh-oh.
I would hang out with him today...
And I'd wait and see what happens.
I think he likes you but he also likes his girlfriend.

...But be careful, you don't want to start any trouble ;)

Good luck, let me know what happened, please! : )
