There's this guy, Danny. He's like, my best friend. We've both liked eachother, a lot. But whenever I think he'd ask me out, I always try to make it not happen, and it never does. The thing is, although I love him, I don't think I'd want to go out with him. I don't know why, it's not because I'd be judged or anything, he's a really cool guy. I just don't want to be in a relationship with him. Anyone know why? And have any advice? (link)
well then i think not making it happen if you dont want it might be bad kinda cause you will be acting weird and then he might not even want to be your friend so if he does ask you its no big deal just say is this going to lead to a relationship and if he says i dont know but i want it too then i think you might just be better off saying no its not going to ruin your friendship and if he says that its not a real date and its just 2 friends going out to dinner or the movies then why not go i hope i helped a little and i wish you good luck and a merry chirstmass


There are two girls who sit at my table in art. They're pretty cool, and I'd want to talk to them a bit more. How can I start a conversation?

If it matters, theyre kinda above me social-status wise. (link)
just start by i like your painting (or whatever you do in art) and then she will problay say thank you i like yours too and then you could say would you like to succed in art when you are out of school and then she will answer and you say what you want to succed in and then you guys will start talking about other stuff its pretty easy and even if they dont end up liking you then at least you got some practice good luck


there are stretch marks on my thighs, knees
are, sides of my stomachs
how can i remove them? (link)
Unfortunatley, stretch marks will never go away. You can use cocoa butter formulas, but I use mederma, and it fades them out. Ask any dermetologist, they will tell you that they won't go away, but can be reduced if you keep your body toned. Try mederma, it has really helped me, and try lifting some weights or going for a jog, it helps tone your legs and thighs, the places where you are more prone to get stretch marks.
Good luck, hope I helped!


Ok well I made a lot of friends this year but i don't know if we're really friends because what happens is, a person and i will talk for a few minutes and then we'll have nothing to talk about and then we'll say ...bye.. and go our seperate ways.

And that goes with liek most of them.

Can you list a few things that i might tlak about to keep it going? (link)
Awkward silences and pauses, hate that. Try making it fun, say something like, "What if I just ran up to that guy and hugged him?" What ifs are always a good convo starter. You could also say something like, "Have you ever been..." or "Have you ever humiliated yourself?" But the one I liek the best is, "Wow, don't you hate awkward silences?" That always gets people to laugh because its true! Everyone hates awkward silences. Maybe point something out like if someone is doing something stupid be like, "Uhm, yeah, why would you do that??" You might get a few laughs. Hopefully the other person will do some talking and you'll see that you have a lot things in commom. Good luck!
Hope I helped!


My boyfriend is going to california for two weeks almost all christmas break. and i never get to see him because he doesnt live with his dad anymore.. he lives about an hour away from me.


and i have had really bad expieriences with people going to california. they come back and have completely forgotten about me..


what do i do? (link)
If he loves you, he won't forget you. Just call him on his cell and keep in touch, if your relationship together is strong, it will stay strong through whatever, whenever.
Hope I helped and good luck

So yeah I'm like 15 and i'm a teenage girl who is having a really hard time with life and I think I should just kill myself. Nothing ever goes my own way. Guys never like me. People hate me in general I'm just an annoynce to everyone. I hate life. It never gets better it just changes and it still sucks after that. I'm sick of being depressed. Really I just want to lock myself in my room and cry then starve myself then die. I hate being a teenager its not like being a kidd its diff. Everything is confusing and nothing is ever how you imagined or wished it to be. So I dont know what to do ? Any advice? (link)
hey dont kill yourself you havent found out what you are going to d when you grow up you could be the worlds best doctor or the most famous celbraty come on dont die ok the world needs you


I just transferred to a new school around thanksgiving this year, and I made some friends sort-of. They were nice to me the first week, and then they just started ignoring me. It seems to be that way with everybody here though, and I hate it. I don't know what to do, should I ignore them too, or should I go up to them and be all cool about it. Also, here I am not very outgoing and feel sooo anti-social, and I am so used to having so many friends! So now, I don't know what to do, I need advice so badly, please, help.

Hi, i will first giv u a brief summary - i 1st met my ex when i was 16, he was 27. We have always had a rocky relationship due to the lack of trust. I know he could never just have 1 woman from his reputation n i wud often do things to get him back. In Feb this yr we got engaged, due to be married March 08. On bonfire nite we had a garden party with our neighbours n i got the impression somethin was happenin btween him n the girl nxt door. I split up wit him cos i knew i wud never be able to trust him n it wasn fair on either of us. It has been 2months n he is seeing the next door neighbour - so my suspicions were correct. Altho i have a new boyfriend i cant help but get jealous n he plays on that. He has told me he wants me bak n still wants 2get married n wit it bein this time of yr i am tempted but i jus know i'm never gona be able to forgive him. Please advise........ (link)
just forget about him i know its hard but its not inposseble so give it a go and GOOD LUCK

I can't believe this.. I feel like I'm losing most of my friends. Like there are these girls I've known since i was in 1st grade. we had fun and stuff and were friends who had their ups and downs years through out. now we are in 8th grade. me and one of the girls are moving to texas (different towns). I used to have problems with that girl sometimes when we disagreed we had fights and didnt talk to each other for a while. but we got over that and im just accepting her the way she is. but some of the other girls.. like 3 of them. like today im like "i wonder what you guys would do when me and ___ are gone." and that girl said they could survive without me but they really need ___. and that really got to me.. im like what kind of friends are this? i dont want friends who just think.. ok shes just this girl i hang out with but i dont really wanna be friends with her. like they did this secret santa thing this year.. we'd done it together 2 years before but its like this time they didnt let me in. i didnt say anything though about it. and when they have like private talks with one person like its usually never me. and im wondering why i cant know when im supposed to be their friend and they know how good of a friend i can be. so i feel like.. hurt.. like i cant believe its like this. it makes me excited for next year when i move to lose a lot of the crap friends i have here. and we're all in the same neighborhood so we've stuck together and hung out a lot more than i have with other friends cause its hard to drive up to their own neighborhoods since we dont live where the majority of the people in my school live. and these other 2 girls.. like it suprises me how people can change. one of them i was bestfriends from 4th grade to 6th. then after that.. its like we just dont have a lot in common and i barely see her so we just say hi in the hallway and stuff. and the other we've been bestfriends since like first grade! and this year shes inviting me already to her bday party in june but i hear from some girls in school about some xmas party she has.. and im not sure cause the party is on friday and she hasnt told me anything about it yet. well she hasnt been on the bus this week.. but it makes me anxious. im wondering whether to ask her or just not say anything and play dumb so she doesnt have to like embarass me on the bus by saying i wasnt invited. like.. i cant believe it cause i know we werent the best of friends anymore but i've been her good friend for a while, and now she's been getting more friends, but i stayed with her through thick and thin in the past. maybe im just too good of a friend. i hate that sometimes. like last year it suprised me when a lot of girls at my lunch table were going to this girl's bday party. i was in 7th grade at the time and i'd been good friends with the girl since like.. 4th grade. but apparently not since i wasnt invited. and then that summer i made a myspace and added her, and i asked like why she was acting weird around me and i cant remember exactly but she said something like she thought i was a bitch and weird.. and it really shocked me. i mean.. what makes people think that? are they just jealous or something? i feel like... ive never really had a good best friend. i'm always looking for new people, that could possibly be but i havent had one yet. like im not sure what im even doing wrong. i'd love to have a bestfriend like me. and then at school there are people you just talk to and its nothing after that. i dont want friends like that. thats practically not even a friend. like theres this girl and when shes around her other friends sometimes shes like "i hate you" and she says shes kidding afterwards when we are in a class with other people and we're all friends. and then shes like "Ily" and shes all nice and stuff. she used to be more annoying to me before but now shes changed and she thinks im cool now. and i dont get it. i wish i could seriously read minds you know? and after she says im cool and stuff she doesnt even think to invite me to her bday party and like everyone at my lunch table went.. i didnt even know she had a party. cause on her real bday i actually with my own money bought her jellybeans and a card as a present. she had her party later.. and im like wtf thats messed up. its just.. like im almost crying now and sorry that its pathetic. i mean im usually confident and stuff.. i cant seem to talk about some things like this with some people. i'll listen to them and try to help them and they wont really care or whatever to listen to my problems. or they act all sarcastic and stuff.. and im like why do you have to be like that? and my family they're good.. but some things i feel like i cant say cause i dont want to seem too pathetic or seem like i have no friends.. cause some people that arent like that.. and stick with me, like i dunno maybe im shallow or whatever but i dont really like their personalities and they're just being nice and friendly.. and ugh. i hope im not like that.. i mean i have fun with these people and then at the end of the day its like.. do they really consider me to be as good a friend as i think they are? im gonna take a risk and ask the girl if i was invited to her party tomorrow.. though im kinda nervous. i'll say that i heard it from this girl at my table cause i asked her and she said it was on friday (holiday party) but yea i havent heard anything from the girl. another thing, i got pics of our winter wonderland dance off our school computer, cause people took pics of people. i picked the best pics of my so called "friends" on myspace (dont freak, I know them IRL) and gave them to them, saying that i got it off the school comp for them. some girls deleted the pics even tho they were good, and one of the girls.. the one with the party put it as her top picture.. and i havent heard a thankyou from her yet, and when i gave her the pic im like "props to [insert teacher's name here] for taking the pics and [my name] for getting the pics from the school comp." but she never said that anywhere in the pic description. im not even gonna comment it now.. its like she was just like "oh cool a picture" when i got it off the comp for her. its so fricken annoying. i'd rather have 1 best friend i love to death than 100 friends who dont even care about me much. its just.. ugh. things like that shouldnt happen to me. even worse, we have a big field trip in spring where we have to pick who we'll sleep with at the hotel. 4 people per room. my parents already paid 200 bucks for the trip but i havent picked the people to go with yet! unfortunately they have to be within our team.. which sucks since people are already pretty much divided in their groups. i dont wanna be wedged into this random group i dont wanna be in and i dont want to like ask to be in someones group when they dont want me there and stuff.. it should be fun.. the best time of 8th grade, really. but now im just hoping maybe we get a new student or i make a new friend that can just be as good to me as i would to them. but its not that easy to find, unfortunately. please find a way to help me.. im sorry this was long. but i felt i really needed to say it before it like exploded or something.. cause its just messed up. you dont even know much i thank you if you can take the time to read this and help me. 13/f. (link)
wow this was really long but i think i have an answer you are still young (like me) enjoy the years dont worry about "am i losing all my friends" because my best friend in the whole world i met at summer camp and she cant go to camp next year and she lives in GA and i live in LA so im never going to see her again but it dosnt mean we dont love eachother


do you guys know any good hip hop songss i can dance to?


i wanna do cardio and lose weight hold on is dancing cardio?? thanks! (link)

Do you have to have a certain face shape to get that certain "perfect" eyebrow that you want? for example if you have a heartshaped face, you wont look good in this kind of eyebrow.. 0r if you have a squared or oblong shaped face, you wont look good in this kind of eyebrow..


?? like that? coz i want to get my eyebrows waxed for the first time (i never plucked or tweezed it either) and i want it to be PERFECT and i want my eyebrows to look good.. and like the high one not the near-the-eye eyebrows..

do you have any pics of good ones i can bring to the salon? [i kinda have a circle-ish face but whenever i smile it turns to square...
but yeah not too bad ..]

so yeah please answer my main question: Do you have to have a certain face shape to get that certain "perfect" eyebrow that you want? (link)
just go to the salon and they will tell you what looks best


Just because someone thinks that another person is good-looking doesn't necessarily mean he/she likes the other person, right? Does it boost that liked person's chances of being liked by the person? Personality counts too, but it still hurts. Please someone reassure me. :/ (link)
all because somone says that you are good lookin doesnt mean they like you my best friend wich is a boy tells me i look good all the time it dosnt mean he wants me to be his girlfriend


i have a boyfriend, and he is amazing and perfect. But I can't help but to be tempted by other guys. I just really need passion in my relationship and my boyfriend is so awkward about it. How can i resist temptation, because I don't want to mess up my relationship or hurt my boyfriend =/

and i can't really tell my boyfriend to pump it up in the bedroom - he can't help being a little nervous about that kind of stuff. (link)
well the more you do with your boyfriend the better he will be at it


i have red bumps all over my arms and on my cheeks a little bit. They are small, and i really don't think it is acne. I've had it for as long as i can remember. I moisterize it alot with really good conditioners for years but it really hasn't made a differance. It doesn't itch either so I don't think it's eggsama (I'm sorry I butchered that word)

does anybody know what it is? how can i get rid of it? (link)
have you ever thought of i dont know GOING TO THE DOCTOR
