So I've had a major crush on this guy since September. When we got put into groups selected by my teacher for an English project, I felt like this would be a good chance to become friends. Well, we sort of did. But I feel like I'm not doing anything really noticeable. I'll just say 'hi' and stuff. My friend tells me that I need to be more obvious when I flirt...but how do I do that without appearing...creepy? I don't want to scare him off.
Any advice?

Flick him off.
Durrrr.

I just got hit with a shock today. I am 61/2 months pregnant and my baby's father just told me that he wants to name our daughter after his best friend. I was upset because she is sort of the reason we broke up. I had just found out I was pregnant last summer and while we were having problems his best friend, 8 montns pregnant at the time and married was coming to visit him from out of state for the week end. I asked him if I could meet her and he accused me of being jealous and broke up with me. We had broken up a couple of weeks prior to that because we were initially going to have an abortion. We had a miscarriage back in april and he didn't want to be disappointed again. We were actually fighting about him not going with me to the procedure. We then got back together 4 days later and decided to keep the baby. Then we broke up again because of the reason mentioned earlier in this message. We fought for over a month about things with the pregnancy and everything. Then we finally worked through some things and it was decided that we would see where things go between us. Things are the same as before we broke up only he no longer tells me he loves me anymore. I will admit I was jealous when I first became pregnant but when I asked to meet his best friend I was really trying to be a good sport, figuring this was his best friend and I had hoped that extending my understanding for the situation that maybe he would see I was trying . When he broke up with me instead I was devastated. We made a deal because this is his only child, I have 4 others, that he would get to name the baby. We just found out we are having a girl yesterday and today he hit me with this. I have to admit I lost my cool. I see it as naming my daughter after someone who unknowingly had everything to do with our break up. I also feel a little hurt that his reaction for me wanting to meet this person is the reason we broke up. We fought about this back and forth today. I ended up recognizing that a deal is a deal.I agreed to name the baby according to his choice. He wouldn't even try to come up with any other girl names. He told me if I didn't agree to it then he wasn't naming the baby and he placed that responsibility in my hands. I didn't want that. I just wanted him to understand that it made me feel really hurt that he wasn't thinking about how I would feel about naming my daughter after her. Whenever we argue we often fight about how unreasonable he was for breaking up with me because I wanted to meet his friend. Even though that woman didn't mean to come between us, even though she is married with a family of her own, I still feel betrayed by this whole situation. He says I am being silly. I don't know about that. I feel like the man I love is asking me to agree to name his daughter after a woman who means more to him than I do. What should I do?He also informed me today that she will be coming to visit before I have the baby and will be around when the baby is born, he claims she is bringing her husband this time but I don't know what to feel. I think it is more apporpriate for her to come after we have the baby. This is our time. Coming to see the baby is one thing but coming before and staying until I have the baby makes me kind of angry. She has had kids before so you would think she can respect the situation. I would think my baby's father would understand that part too. If I have to name my baby after this woman I feel my birthing experience should be as I see fit. Please tell me if I am doing the right thing here or not.

You are doing the right thing here.

Alright, so my friends and were at a resturant tonight with a bunch of other people after a school event. My boyfriend was there, but he decided to sit with some people from school that I used to be friends with, but I'm now not because of reasons. Don't worry about why lol. We've been going out for a little over a week and I'm going insane. We never talk. It's so awkward! I get SO nervous around him and can't think of anything to say, I just get lost looking for the right words to say. I was really dissappointed about what happened out at the resturant tonight. How can I make our relationship better and/or stronger?

Ow, I just fell out of my chair.
Oh, um, talk to him.
Say hey.
That's always a good conversation starter!

The teacher is going to yell at me once I get back to school because I didn't do my work in this group project.

It was to write a big poem about something. So yeah, I had these 2 girls in my group to work with. They already got started. and .. well I can't work with them!

They weren't speaking ENGLISH .. and I don't know spanish! They both are like best friends so I couldn't butt into the conversation.. (I'm uber shy x3554343 :[)
And they were working on their own and each person had to write 3 stanzas.. but I had no clue what they wrote.
So i didn't want to repeat and get in trouble..

Is it really my fault?

They both got up and walked away right in the middle of it. They both worked together and forgot about me.

I dont know.

Excuse me?
The women or whatever your teacher is expects you to work with two girls who do not speak our language? That's disturbing.
Hell no, it is not your fault.
When you go back to school, please ask your teacher how she expects you to work with two people who don't even speak the same language.

Well yea here is my problem, i have a boyfriend lets just call him henry, and we have been going out for almost 2 years and he is ready to settle down with me and have a family but and we have been promised to each other for a long time and he is ready to settle down but i am only 16 years old so wat do i do ?

if i were you, i wouldn't do it.

i mean, you have two years left of highschool. think of how much stress you'll be under with having to take care of a child plus do good in school.

after you get out of highschool you still have four long years of college. now, if you let your grades slip because of a baby when your in highschool, there's no way you'll get to college. if you plan on going to college, i'd stick with just having your parents being parents for now; not grandparents.

i have a friend who's mom had a child when she was 16 & her boyfriend left her because he couldn't handle the stress of the baby. you know when the last time was that she saw her own father? when she was 5. she's 15 now & she was diagnosed with depression a year ago & still has it. she feels like it was her fault that her father left. please don't do this to an innocent child..

[view]


i don't know why he left me without reason?
i like him ..he told me he crush on me i told him its too early to say that..he left me now but i know he really care about me...really i never ever hope from someone..

What the...
Okay, did you just feel like randomly typing the first thing that came into your mind?
How the hell are we supposed to understand what you're talking about?

i like this boy. and i'm pretty sure that he likes me too. My friends think i should ask him out. But i've never asked out a guy before. And i dont want to ruin our friendship we have now. So should i ask him out? and how?! please help

thankss!

Yes, write him a note and say, "*Name*, will you go out with me?"
Everyone else is just jealous of my effort that I put into answering this.

I'm having a lot of trouble at school. I'm really not happy. I think a lot of people at my school don't like me. It's mostly just the girls in my choir class.

I'm really shy.. and I don't really talk to people unless they talk to me first. But I've never been mean to anyone ever. And a lot of girls in my choir class are kind of snotty to me and I don't know why. I've never really talked to any of them because I'm so shy and they're all kind of friends with everyone else in the class but me. I always get the feeling that they don't like me.

I don't know what to do. It makes me really upset and I LOVE choir but I never feel like I'm even part of the class because no one ever talks to me. I don't think it's because they think I'm mean but I think it's because they think I'm ugly and that really hurts my feelings.

I need advice. I don't know what I'm asking for specifically but yeah ... and don't tell me to be more talkative and less shy because I've tried and I'm just shy. I can't not be shy you know? And whenever anybody talks to me, I'm always really nice... so I don't know what else to do!

They don't talk to you because they think you're ugly? Wow, that's gay. If that's why they don't talk to you, then they need mental help.
Anyways, that's what I do sometimes if I just don't feel like talking. I just wait until someone says something to me.
Just pick a few of them and when you walk in, smile at them and say, "Hi." And then walk to where you normally go.

My friends and i have been friends for 1 year.recently we got mad at each other and we are not talking.I dont know if we should be friends again or not.But here is the thing...everybody is saying that im the one who is ignoring her when she started all this and everybody thinks im the bad person.She calls me everyday but i don talk to her.Any advice?Thanx alot!And how can i make her stop calling me every damn day.

i think you should still be best friends.
well, actually .. it depends on what happened.
if it's cause of something a friend told you that she said, i personally would not believe it.
it's your choice though.

just don't answer it alot unless it's once a day. she'll probably get the hint & stop calling -- that's what i did with a friend like this.

15/m

alright yesterday a girl pantsed me, right in front of the class when i was sharpening my pencil as i walked past her. i took it lightly and pulled my pants up and joked about it for a while, then a half hour later she got up, and i pantsed her back..as a little revenge/joke thing, only she was wearing a thong and well, yah enough said.

i got sent to the principle's office and got suspended for 3 days...it just snowed here so today doesnt count, but still im going to miss monday, tuesday, and wedsnday, for pantsing a girl that pantsed me, (also, the girl went to the principle's office and stuck up for me saying that she had it comming)
yeah uhm what should i do???

p.s. the girl is not suspended.

that girl is a monster from the deep.
cuss her out.

okay ive been dating this girl for about 6 months. her name is jessica. she's really cool and i love her alot but for the past 2 weeks shes been acting really weird latley. she seems to get really jelous of other girls. like i'll be talking to my friend lily and she'll pull me keep me away from her and if i try to go she pulls me and stright up tells me not to talk to her. but then i talked to her and she said she was sorry but yesterday she strangled lily and almost threw her down the stairs. i dont know what to do. i love jessica with all my heart but her jelousy is giving me other thoughts. i love her so much but maybe it's not worth it. is this normal is relationships? how can i convice her not to be so jelous? should i just dump her? what should i do???

calm down there with the dumping thing.

she just really really REALLY likes you now and is scared of losing you. maybe lily likes you and your girlfriend found out and now she thinks you might ditch her for lily.
just tell her that you don't like lily.
seems to me like lily needs to back off. but i don't know if it's lily or your girlfriend, because i'm not the one there when this stuff happens.

okay, i have a friend, well i dont know if shes really a friend anymore now, named amanda. well me and amanda have been bestfriends since 1st grade [at least] and amanda and me have ALWAYS done things together. then 3 weeks ago, she spreads a rumor that the people at our lunch table talk behind her back and are mean to her. and she told all the 'preps' that. and now they come up to me and my friend randi and are like "why are you mean to amanda" and we arent!? so well i guess we kinda get mad at eachother. and latley shes been ditching me for this other girl mary grace. now every time she looks at me, she rolls her eyes, and wants US to appologize, at first i was like NO WAY we didnt do anything?! then i saw she was online like 5 minutes ago and so i IMed her i said "okay well we've been friends too long to loose eachother over this, im truly sorry for whatever i did" no reply "amanda please hear me out.." no reply. so i give up. what should i do now? write her a note and give it to her? should i not appologize and wait for her to appologize? oh and another thing is today during drama we had a performance and they said "dont waste your time fighting, just be friends" and at that EXACT moment we both looked at eachother. and always during class she looks over at me, and i look at her, so she quickly looks away, does that mean anything? or what? just give me some guidelines, because im really confused and dont want to loose my bestfriend.

Aw, another stubborn person in the world.
Hm, that's not good.
I'm sorry to say, but it seems like Amanda's made up her mind and no matter what you say, I think she's going to believe the crap that was started.
She's looking at you because she's thinking about you. What about? No idea. Maybe why you guys were friends, what happened between you two, etc.
If your friend doesn't believe you, then why the hell would you need a friend like that?

I'm 13/f and I've been crushing on this really cool guy and he's been with two girls not to long ago and trust me he's real nice and my friend and I made a deal that she would tell him tomorrow how I feel. And I have a feeling we would be sitting next to each other too since he dosn't have a girlfriend. I'm scared if he's gonna like me or not. And if my friends tell me to go sit by him I'm really shy so I usually say no what can I do to stop with being to shy before tomrrow?

D-O-N-T do the picture the person in the underwear thing. That would be disturbing in this case.
If you think you feel your face turning red say "I AM A KUNG FU PENGUIN!" over and over again in your head to take your mind off of it.
Don't pratice what you're gonna say to him. That's over doing it and it's just plain creepy.
There's no way to stop being shy, but if you start to feel uncomfortable, ask the teacher to let you go to the restroom or something.
