Hi, my names Melanie.
I'm fifteen years old.
I love fashion, hanging out with my friends,
and drawing and writing along with a bunch of other stuff.
I used to have an old account here that was quite known for awhile,
but I sort of just lost touch with it,
so I decided to make a new one.
I'll try and help you the best I can,
just hopefully I didn't lose touch with my good advice, haha.
And feel free to IM me with your problem too.
I also put my myspace in a link down below,

i just wanted to know what a kiss means on the lips the cheeks and so on... (link)
I went on http://www.romantic-lyrics.com/kissmeanings.shtml and it says:


"Kiss on the hand - I adore you.

Kiss on the cheek - I just want to be friends.

Kiss on the chin - You are cute!

Kiss on the neck - I want you.

Kiss on the lips - I love you.

Kiss on the ears - Let's have some fun.

Kiss anywhere else - You're the best."



I hope I helped.


ok so im a 15/f and my friend told my friend john that a girl that goes to your school likes him.. and its me and he asked her if it was me? and she told him she doesn't know. and my friend was like he know s because you make it obvious i was like o my god lol and she's like ya you blush around him alot so ya should i just telll him or what should i do? (link)
Well if your friends saying it's quite obvious and that he knows already, then there's really no point in telling him. Also, if you were and he either didn't know, or already did, it might just make things a little awkward there between you guys.

Like I said, he probably does already know, and the best thing you can do right now is just pretend it never happend and continue talking to him. If you don't mention it, and he doesn't mention it, it doesn't need mentioned, and it's like it never happened, right?

I hope I helped.


ok so last night...things were fine...better than fine, AMAZING! we were normal like usual...having fun, cuddling, kissin you know the whole bf gf thing. well the problem was i thought my mom wanted us to break up because of certain reasons so i told him today but i was crying and said how i didn't want it to happen. well he didn't wait for me outside my class afterwords but at the end of the day he came to my last period class and we talked some things out and he said that worst comes to worst we can just be really good friends. i'm sitting here crying my eyes out outside the door but he's just standing there with a little smile wiping my tears away. but i'm trying my best to make things work but he just kinda seems to be going with the flow, not having any real emotions [[or at least that i can see]]. does he truly want to end it and should i quit fighting? or is he just being a guy about this?? =(

we're both 17 if that helps lol [[and if this situation sounds so elementary i'm sorry...he's my first serious relationship and i'm terrified to lose him]] (link)
I don't think he wants to lose you. He's probably just trying to be calm about this and not cause a huge scene, you know? He might just want it all to go easy and see what happens, because like you guys might not break up.

As for the smiling thing, he might be smiling because he's somewhat happy. Not HAPPY that you two are breaking up, but I would have a little smile on my face to knowing the person I'm dating's getting so upset over me. It's probably making him feel very loved and cared for and everything. Also, like you said, guys rarely show their true emotions, so he just might be trying to play it cool and everything.

I would talk to your mother and ask her why she exactly doesn't want the two of you dating, what did he do wrong? See what her reasoning is, and tell her you understand where she's coming from and her concern and everything, but you can't stop dating him. You're not trying to arouse a fight or anything, but this is the first serious relationship you've ever had, and it'd be wrong for her to try and break the two of you up and ruin it. It'd hurt your feelings alot to, and you don't want to lose him.

And just talk to her about it and see her point of view, but don't forget to in a strong serious tone, show her your point of view too and where you're coming from in this whole situation.

I know it's going to sound stupid and corny, but if you really like this guy ( possibly love ), then you need to stick by him and be with him, no matter what your mom or people try to tell you guys to break you two up. If you two are happy together, everyone else should be happy too.

I hope I helped.


okayyy. well this is getting pretty complicatedd. I'm 15/f freshman. so theres these 3 guys. im not sure which one i like or which one i actually should like because theres a flaw with each one.

1- freshman- he is new to our school but in two months he is moving back to texas and we live in pennsylvania. we both like eachother but for those two months he is getting home schooled. i have no idea why but that means that i will never see him and if i do it wont be alot and only for a month or so but he is the cutest kid ever and i really like him. he is so nice and cute and aahhhh. but hes moving.

2- sophmore- me and him had a thing in the summer which ended as nothing more then many hook ups. he claims that he likes me a lot and all this crap but i dont know if i want to believe that or if he just wants to hook up again. i like him also but im worried that is all he wants. i like being around him becuase we always have fun and i can be myself around him most of the time. and we kid around is that cute little flirty way and i love it.

3- senoir- we're crazy about eachother but he's 18 and we've already talked and we realized that we probably couldn't go out. i would want to be with him more then anyone of them but thats the problem. he's in a band and he's perfect. nice, amazingly funny, sings to me, always makes me laugh, calls me all the time just to talk, and knows just about everything about me.

--when ever the sophmore calls me the senoir gets really jealous but i think its cute but they really hate when i talk to either of them. the freshman doesn't mind much. we aren't as close as the other two though.

i dont know what to do.
i want to be with #3 more then
anything but its like sorta illegal
right? what am i supposed to do? (link)
1- Unless you want to try and do the long distance thing, which usually doesn't work out between two people cause the commitment starts to get weaker and weaker as time goes by, and plus, there's the emotional needs, but what about the pyshical? You wouldn't even be able to like, hug him or anything. Nobody to comfort you when you're sad or anything.

2- He may just want to hook up with you, but give it a shot, if you want. Try hanging out with him and if all he wants to do is hook up and then gets agitated or something whenever you don't, then you'll know it's all just a hook-up thing, and that he doesn't like you alot like he says.

3- If you really like this guys and he's as perfect as you say he is, then go out with him! The only way it'd be illegal for you two to be together is if you two were to have sex. You're allowed to date, but then once you two have sex, it's illegal. That's why there's an age boundary for states. Like I don't know where you live, so you might want to research that, but here if you're 16, then it's fine to do whatever because that's the age of consent here.

Also, I can't really tell you who you should like. I can't be your thoughts and your feelings, I can only help guide you along. You gotta listen to yourself as corny as that sounds and just see who you like the most.

Also, even though they all have flaws, every guy's going to have some sort of flew about them, just like you have a flaw and every other girl has a flaw. You just gotta realize that you like them enough to not let those little flaws bother you.

I hope I helped.


my mom and i have a very special relationship. so, i can't just NOT tell her things. But, I'm tired of her having to say something bad about everybody. She can't stand my boyfriend and he really likes her and her reasons are really silly, like she doesn't like the way his father drives or something. What should I do? (link)
Well if you and your mother have a very special relationship and can talk to eachother about things, let her know that what she's saying about your boyfriend's hurting your feelings, and if she could please keep those kinds of bad comments to herself.

Ask her why she can't stand your boyfriend exactly, on a more serious level. Ask her to give you one good, serious, reason as to why she doesn't like him, and let her know he likes her and has no problem with her at all.

If you two have the special relationship you say you do, then I'm sure she'll understand and respect your wishes and stop saying something bad about everybody.

I hope I helped.


hi..

So here the deal..I think this guy might ask me out and if he does i'm pretty sure i'll say yes..but like how do or when or should i tell my parents? (link)
I would just tell your parents first of all that he's a friend and you were wondering if he could come over. And whenever he comes over, of course he'll hopefully make a good impression and just be nice and respectful in the house, and whenever he leaves after hanging out, just ask your mother what she thought of him. Hopefully, she'll say he was a wonderful boy, and then just let her know,"Good, because I have a crush on him."

And then the next day, just be like,"Mom, guess what? He asked me out! :)" Obviously she'll know then you said yes since she's aware you like him, and then also she'll be comfortable with it because she's already met him and knows what he's like and everything.

I hope I helped.


I have been friends with this girl, Diane, for two years. We were best friends, but then she did many horrible things to me and we got in a fight. I didn't talk to her for three months. All that happened was she cussed me out twice for no reason in those three months after doing some other things. But for some crazy reason, I took her back as a friend. She broke up with this kid, Michael, and I was talking to him on IM because we were sort of friends. He was saying stuff like, "Oh, she's talking to a bunch of other people. She doesn't have time for us." And I said, "No, she's only talking to one person. This guy named Daniel from New Jersey." And he says, "Does she like him?" So Diane was on and I IMed her and said, "Do you like Daniel?" And she said, "Yes..." So I copied the conversation back to him and he said, "Did he like her why she was going out with me? Can you ask her?" And I IMed Diane again and said, "Did you like him while you were going out with Michael?" Then she said, "Uh, yeah." I felt like Michael needed to know and I didn't want to lie since he told me to ask her and I copied my conversation with Diane to him. He started getting really upset. He got so upset that I felt like crying myself. A few minutes later, Diane signed off. Normally she says bye and stuff, but this time she had just suddenly signed off. Almost ten minutes later, Michael said, "Ok, I'm so sorry. I told her. I copied my conversation with you to her and she said that she had to go and signed off." Now she's mad at me again. Lately she has been very rude to me and some other girls for no reason. I still have not forgiven her completely for what she did to me in the past. Did I do the right thing? Should I apologize or do I just let her go as a friend? (link)
You both did the right thing, and the wrong thing. You did the right thing in letting him know what was going on and giving him the truth, and not lying to him. But you did the wrong thing by taking something SHE said to you personally probably so nobody else could see ( hence, IM ) and you just took it and showed it to someone she probably didn't want reading it. That'd sort of be like, you saying you like this guy, and her taking it and showing the conversation to him. Upsetting, huh?

I would go up to her and apologize for doing that, you know it's wrong and everything, but you didn't want to lie to Michael, either. You've both now have done your bad things to eachother, so if she's willing to forgive and forget like you've done, you'd really like to try and be friends again.

If she throws a huge drama-fit over the whole situation like she already seems to be doing, then she might not be worth becoming friends with again. You don't need all this fighting and drama in your life, and feeling guilty all the time and worrying if what YOU did was the right thing or not.

But if she tries to work on the friendship, and apologizes for her past actions also, this shows she really want to make an effort, so both of you must try to be good friends towards eachother and see where it goes. Friends DO give eachother chances again, but there's only a certain amount a friend can go.

I hope I helped.


Last summer, this boy that was my BEST FRIEND. Came to my house in the middle of the night, to do it with me. In the beginning when we were on the phone, I played along, I thought he was kidding, I even asked my friends.. i was like.. hes kidding right? & there like oh yeah. So i went with it. Then he told me he'd be at my house later. He doesn't live really close so it was about a 3 mile walk. When he came, of course I said no. Ever since, he got mad at me & hasn't spoken to me since. I miss him, he was my best friend. Was I wrong? I mean at the time, I felt so, so smart & all. That I said no. Now, I feel like I messed up something, I messed up the friendship & its all my fault.

Am I wrong?
How can I make it better?
or realize, i wasn't wrong? .. if i'm not. (link)
You were not wrong at all. You didn't give into pressure, and you said no because you didn't want to do it. You did the right thing. Never give in to somebody just because they want to do something with you that you don't want to do.

I personally think it's a little immature and somewhat sad of him to stop talking to you. I mean, if you guys were best friends, you'd think he'd value your friendship a little more and try and resolve this issue with you and continue being friends.

I would just go up to him, call him, write him, whichever way you feel most comfortable and let him know you're sorry, but you thought he was joking. You didn't mean for all that to happen, but whenever you guys were on the phone together, you thought you guys were just having a laugh, so you played along. You didn't mean for him to walk so far, and you're really sorry for all of that, and you know he's mad, but you really miss him and you guys were the best of friends, and you'd hate to see that get ruined over this huge misunderstanding.

If he's willing to be a mature person and handle the situation, he'll want to resolve this issue and forget about it, and move on and continue being best friends with you, like you both should be.

If he's not, then he's being immature and stupid and he's missing out on a great best friend, and he should realize that.

I hope I helped.


Alright. So. listen up. I'm 18/f, my best friend in the world is 17/m. We used to hate each other's guts and he used to be an ass and hit me and leave marks and stuff. But then my other friend (16/m) and him got in a fight over it, and now we're BFFLs.

But that's in the past. Also, when we started to like each other (as friends) I also started liking him as more. I liked him for maybe 6 months, and then got over that. I still have an occasional "omg i want him" feelings, but for the most part, I know him too well, and I just love him like a brother.

But speaking of brothers, I like his brother. He's 16, by the way. He's so cute and funny. He reminds me a lot of a mix of W (my BFF) and G (another great friend of mine, 16/m). W says that his brother digs me, as well. What should I do? (link)
If you like this guy and have feelings for him, and already know he likes you too, go for it!

I would just talk to W about it and let him know that you like him also, and is it okay with him if you two were to possibly go out sometime.

Even though he doesn't really have total say over the matter, it IS your life and you can date whomever, it is still his brother and you just need to respect his feelings and consider them and how he might feel if you two were to go out.

I hope I helped.


Hey can any one tell me what an IM is? (link)
It means "Instant Message", and that's exactly what it is - an INSTANT message.

On AIM ( an IM program ), it's basically just like email and everything, except right at the moment. You don't have to wait a couple of hours or so for the response, and it's basically just like talking on the phone, except you're typing it all out, and you can talk to numerous friends at once, while checking out other sites or whatever it is you do on the computer.

I love it, I don't know what I'd do without it, haha.

I hope I helped.


I go to an all girls private high school. Before that, i went to public school. I am having a sweet sixteen party, but the only problem is, there is going to be twice as many girls (i'm still friends with all of my public school friends, which is even in the boy to girl ratio) but then when you had all of my school friends, it like doubles the girls. Should i cut back on the girls--or make a desperate attempt to meet some more guys??? Would it just be really awkward if there were too many girls (it would be like 20ish boys and 35ish girls)

Thanks in Advanced. (link)
No, it wouldn't be awkward at all. It's your party, and you should invite whomeever you want, as many people as you want ( well, as many as yours parents'll let you, lol ).

It doesn't seem like there's that many more girls than boys, only 15. And you ARE a girl whose moved to another school - it's going to be understood you've made friends there too, and they're most likely going to be all girls. I have alot more girlfriends then I do guy friends, and we all have a blast together.

Trust me, your parties going to be great, and you and all your friends and going to have a great time.

I hope I helped.


i am from india.
Well i think i have a cavity.. and getting cavities filled are a nightmare for me. i just cant stand it. ive never had the laughing gas and i really think that would make it less of a nightmare. my friend said that when he goes, they give him the gas. So, whats the deal with the gas? Do some dentists just not do it? or what? (link)
Some dentists do it, some don't. Alot don't, though. At least where I live, they don't.

I believe laughing gas is usually used for more serious dental things like root canals or maybe the pulling of the wisdom teeth and everything, seeing as it IS gas and it's used to knock someone out for a really good while. But I have heard if a patient is extremely terrified of needles and everything, they might let you use the gas. You'll have to talk to your dentist about this.

For my advice, I would just say continue using the regular shots, if that's what you use. If you don't, ask them about it. I know it's a shot, but it only hurts for two seconds, it barely hurts at all if they put in novacaine on your gums first so your gums are numb before they do the shot and if your dentist eases it in slowly, trust me, you rarely feel anything. I just had two cavities done about 4 days ago and I was completely fine. I just brought my ipod ( CD player if you don't have one ), and listened to music, and whenever they said they were going to give me the shot, I just shut my eyes and took deep breaths.

Also, if you WERE to use the gas, I'm sure it would cost you alot more than just regular novacaine, because like I said before, it IS gas and I'm sure it's not easy for all dentist businesses to accquire, cause I'm sure whoever they purchase it from isn't just handing out free gas, lol.

I hope I helped.


16-f

hey guys :] im in this really hard situation! so id like to tell you what happens and it might be kinda long but you need to know the details to know what im going through! so anyways..there is this really adorable sweet guy and ive liked him on and off for around 4-5 months. he never knew and still doesnt because he is one of my good friends and i see him alot, if not every weekend. because we go to different schools and my cousin is his neighbor. anyways before he got a girlfriend about 3 months ago me and him flirted like crazy i mean we would wrestle and get close, never KISS or cuddle or anything. but now that he has a girlfriend we dont do it so much anymore. sometimes i feel that he does have feelings or is still somewhat attracted to me. like tonight it was me and him and my two cousins together and like we were going to his girlfriends hockey scrimmage and so then we had to park far away because it was busy and my cousin forgot her cellphone in her car so hes like come on we'll meet her in there. and then hes like your my date come on! so he stuck his arm out and we like linked arms and then my feet hurt so i was like can you give me a piggy back ride :] and hes like yeah get on and so he did. and it was cute i was like aww i dont want this to end! and then like when we got back into the car he got really close but he was laughing and hes like ahh im cold and stuff! but then he moved back because we were both in the back seat and then his girlfriend came and she was with us for the rest of the night. one time we were playing football and then he like would give me the ball to throw because i wanted to but he would always like kind of hug me from behind and give me the ball. its like to ME he tires to flirt, without being too obvious and sometimes it feels like he likes me too! but doesnt want me to know or anyone else because he likes his girlfriend, but could there be a chance he likes me too? its like when i dont see him for a little bit im like good im getting over him i dont like him he has a girlfriend there is no point! and then right when i see him and we talk and like flirt all my feelings come back. im not going to stop being around him he is my friend and im soo happy when im around him. but then it kills me to know that he has a girlfriend and loves her not me...and me and him always joke like tonight i was coming home from work and they were coming to pick me up and im like i have to change first! and hes like okay you can just change in front of us ;) and started laughing! and then me and him both had to go to the bathroom bad so we pulled to the side of a road and my cousin was like go you two, you guys can have a quickie and then i laughed and then hes like alright lets go and smiled (but hes joking, obviously) but those kind of things come up all the time! like "sexual" but jokingly. and its like i dont know what to do because i dont want to be like nooo! ewww! because i know i wouldnt mind being with him but then i dont want him to know and be like okay! ahhaha. so i always just laugh about it. its sorta awkward but its cute how he answers. i dont want to tell him i like him because it would be soo awkward afterwards and woould pretty much ruin our friendship! and i try to deny to myself that i like him because i know i dont have a chance and that he loves his girlfriend but i just LOVE being around him. im always soo happy when i hear that im going to be seeing him :] i know i shouldnt put myself through this but i dont know what to do!!!! i love getting his attention and have him look at me and be around me but then i think. shoot he has a girlfriend :[


well here are some quotes that tell how im feeling if this helps any..


you tell me about her and i smile and say "thats great" but you know me and by the look in my eyes you should be able to see that i want to be in her place..

people constantly ask me, "are you two going out?" but they have no idea how much it hurts to say "no we're just friends".. (link)
I'm glad you realize there's nothing you can do.. at the moment, for now. Most girls try to diabolically (sp) plot their revenge between the two and how to break them up ; which usually backfires into their face twice fold and might wind up ruining the friendship.

But I am going to tell you, it does sound to me like he's somewhat attracted to you, and may even have some feelings. He might be trying to get the point across by all the flirting, but does remember he DOES have a girlfriend, so he's trying to keep his boundaries and everything, you know? Also, he may just be trying to move on. He might like you, but thinks that since you don't like him, he might as well just try and move on and continue being friends.

I would just keep up with what you're doing, and just keep all the flirting going. Send him compliments, make him feel special, give him hugs and sit close to him and eveyrthing.

But if him and his girlfriend ever were to break up, I would seriously tell him. I mean, we all only have one life, you know. Take a chance. He could be the best boyfriend ever and you wouldn't know it. I mean, I wouldn't tell him right off the bat after they break up. Just be there for him, console him and just wait until he's over her, and then someday when you're feeling gutsy and comfortable enough to tell him, tell him. Let him know that you've liked him for a good while, but obviously, didn't want to tell him because he had a girlfriend at the time and you knew not to mention anything after they broke up because he was upset and everything.

If he likes you back, great!

If he doesn't, which I don't think he doesn't ( it's tricky though with guys ; sometimes they send these signals that to us girls shows signs of interest and flirting and everything, but to the guys, they just think they're being friendly and normal and everything ). But for all other friendships that this has happened to, most wind up still remaining friends. You just have to work hard at it to keep it normal and make the conversation flowing so it doesn't wind up awkward. It'll only be awkward if you two make it awkward.

But if you really don't want to tell him, the most I can do is tell you to just keep doing what you're doing in hopes that he realizes how much you like him, and wants to be with you ( but if you do this and nothings happens, this could result in further hurt feelings ). Or you can try and get over him, which I know you already said is hard, I understand, but just try. Just keep reminding yourself,"He has a girlfriend, we can't be together." And maybe even try to casually date a few guys. Maybe one of them will spark your interest and you'll have a new guy to like ; that's not in a relationship.

I hope I helped.






hey,

I am having this awsome birthday party with a friend of mine. I had joined this play early on and i just found out they changed the date to the same day as my party!!!! My mom says I can't quit!!!!!! But the party really means alot to me and the play is causing too much conflict. What should I do?

help me please but i also don't want to be mean to the director

(link)
You're right, you can't quit. After all the rehearsing and everything, you've made a commitment to the whole entire play, and it wouldn't be right of you to just suddenly drop out. Also, they'd have to find someone else for the part so suddenly to memorize the lines.. it'd be mayhem for everyone.

If I were you, depending on the time, maybe just switch the party to a later time on the same day, or just make the party the day after. Sure it'll be annoying tell everyone that the party is being changed to another day, but it looks to me either, have the party a different day, or no party.


To party, or not to party ; THAT is the question.


15/f. i have 5/6 class with a really popular guy named Nick. He is popular, hot, nice, and shy. i reallly like him because he doesn't act like he's popular (he just is) and he's really hot. i don't have a big crush on him, just a little one (kind've like most girls do with him). well i've never really talked to him much or anything, so we don't know each other that well. but since i have so many classes with him, i've noticed him looking at me alot. especially in social studies. i don't know if this means anything, but can someone tell me if it does? he tends to look at me at semi-quick glances, and sometimes we make eye contact.

what should i do about this? because i kinda like him looking beause i kind've like him.

what does all of this mean? (link)
This could possibly mean something. Guys tend to quickly glance at a girl they're interested in, because they don't want the girl thinking they're staring at them or they don't even want her knowing they're looking at her.

Try and get to know him more. If he's in 5/6 of your classes, there should definetely be SOMETHING to start talking to him about. A teacher in one of the classes who may be mean or weird ( make a funny comment about them to make them laugh ).

Or ask him about a homework assignment, and ask him for his help if he can give you any. While he's helping you, you could make a comment like,"Ugh, thanks so much. I'm so horrible at this stuff. Besides ____, this subject's one of my worst. Whats yours?" And just start talking about school. And the more you two talk, the more you can slowly ease into other conversations of after-school activities, interests, music, and everything.

If you start to notice him looking at you more and more and wanting to talk to you more and more and everything, this could possibly be feelings developing!

Just keep talking ( and add flirting too ) and see where it all goes.

I hope I helped.


is an ipod nano "too fancy" or "too much" of a gift to get my bf [of 5 months when it comes] for christmas?

im not rich i mean im pretty average-class i guess but i dont have a job yet although i may have one by then.. but i dont want to get it for him if it seems like too big of a deal.. i hope that makes sense! (link)
Yeah, it does seem like a little too fancy and too much of a gift to be giving somebody you've only been dating for 5 months.

Also, if you were to give him an ipod nano and he were to get you something far less cheap, he might feel bad that he didn't give you something as grand.

What most girlfriends and boyfriends do is talk to eachother about the price range they're giving eachother, so nobody gives the other something far more expensive and both gifts are still nice gifts and everything.

I hope I helped.


Am I the only one alive who thinks it's terrible that kids (13-16) are having sex? I'm only 18, but when I was 13, I was riding my bike and doing karate, not giving blowjobs on the school bus. But thats the norm now, and if you haven't had sex by the time you're 17, you must be ugly or way religeous. What on earth!? Am I the only one disgusted by this trend? (link)
No, you're not, and I'm glad there's someone out there saying this and I'm not the only one thinking it.

I think it's disgusting and as the years go on, the age kids have sex is only going lower and lower and lower.

I'm 15 and some of my friends make me sound like I'm like, the Holy Virgin Mary or something because I haven't had sex yet, nor kissed a guy. I've felt pressured about it, but I'm not just going to toss all that away. I feel it has to be special, not something just done every day for something fun to do when you're bored.

There's little kids out there who already know what sex IS. I was sitting there playing with my barbies, playing IT tag, and didn't learn about sex until all those videos they make us watch in the fifth grade and sixth grade about it.

I remember also being teased in elementary school by my friends because I didn't know about sex or anything. They always thought I was a prude. I thought they personally, were insane and gross. No kid should be learning and doing that sort of stuff so early.


okay im getting older and my birthday is coming up soon.and im taking piano lessons.but every week when the time comes around for me to take them.i never want to. Is it that i don't like piano?? or do i think im too old.
i've been playing for 7 years and i don't want to give it up.but theres a feeling inside of me that never wants to play piano..maybe my teacher.idk.please help me.i really don't want to give it up. (link)
I used to be like this also.

I don't think it's the fact you think you're too old - you're never too old to be taking piano lessons and playing the piano.

I played for 5 years straight, and the reason I quit was because I didn't HATE it, I was just bored with it. I'm one of those types of people who can't do something every week, every year, continuously. I have to try something new or just stop because it always makes me feel like I'm in a rut. I tried to get out of lessons and everything, I didn't mind playing. I just didn't like all the lessons.

Also, for me, it was my teacher. We sort of... had a conflict between how I was playing and how she wanted me to play. I couldn't play with the way she wanted my fingers to move, so I figured "hey, if you want me to play, i'll do it my way."

So it could be that.

Try getting a new piano teacher and see how that goes. If you find you want to practice more and play more, it could've just been the teacher, but if you find you're still not liking it, maybe you're just bored with it or don't like it. And even though you don't WANT to quit, if you want to feel better about it, you should. You just might not be a quitter, but you can always play at home on your own time.

Maybe purchase a piano for home, of get a keyboard, like I did.

I still play at home on occasion and I'm so happy I don't have to go to those long, boring, lessons.

I hope I helped.

Okay, I just starting going out with my amazing boyfriend, (who just happens to be my best friend's ex, but she knows and she's not mad)and we went to the movies last night, and had an incredible night. We kissed, we told each other we loved each other, and pretty much everything else. He tried to make out with me the whole movie, but after I got my point across that I wasn't going to make-out with him the whole movie, he finally stopped, and we just held hands, cuddled, and flirted. I thought he was going to stop liking me because I didn't want to continue as far as he wanted me to, but he called me after our date, and we only talked for a few minutes. Now, here's the thing: I told my best friend (his ex) about our date, and all she could tell me was that everything he said and did was only a game to try to get in my pants. I believe her, but I really like him. (I would never give in to having sex with him, though) So, is there any advice anyone could give me on how to deal with this whole situation?
Thanks so much!

P.S. And he's definitely not as perverted as he seems, he's actually very nice. (link)
Even though you're friends not mad with you going out with her ex and everything, it sounds to me like she still might be a little jealous. She might not want to hear all these details, but it IS still someone she previously dated, and might not feel comfortable with hearing her friend kissing him and everything, which is why she might've said what she did.

I wouldn't worry about it, and if the situation does arise where he wants to do stuff like that with you, you can always just say no. You don't have to do it. If he doesn't respect your decision, you can always end the relationship. It's not like you two are cojoined together.

But it sounds to me like he's not going to try something like that. You two ARE only 13.

I hope I helped.

i live in new jersey and on monday my family and i are going to rome for 10 days.
Now i know that when were in Rome were going to do all the touristy stuff so im not asking for like sighseeing stuff. I need stuff to do on the plane and when were like in our hotel room.

i bought a bunch of books, but thats about all i have so far.

suggestions? i need soon cuz we are leaving in like two days! thanks! (link)
Well whenever I've gone on the planes before, what I've done is bring a notebook to just doodle in and also bring a CD player or ipod or whatever to watch videos on and listen to music on. Also, depending on what airline you're riding on, they sometimes already have a television either above your chair or something so if you want, you can put on their headphones and watch a movie.

Also, if you have any, bring the homework. Best to just do it then and get it over with then be stuck with it during vacation or crammed with it wheneevr you get back and get all stressed over it. Plus, it's very time consuming so it'll take up alot of time for you.

Also, if you have one or if your little brother or sister who whoever has one, bring a gameboy or something so you can have a little portable video game to play and bring extra batteries so incase it dies, you can still play with it.

For the hotel room, you can do all these same things, and I'm sure they'll have a tv there to give you so you can watch television still and maybe bring some paper so you can write letters to your friends and tell them what it's like and maybe send them a postcard and send them pictures and everything letting them know what it looks like and how everything's going and stuff. That might become time consuming depending on how many friends you're writing.

I hope I helped, and have a great vacation! :)
