Q: Should I run away from home my mom doesn't want to listen.
Running away doesnt always solve anything really ive tried it before it didnt work out i just ended up going back home half the teens that do attempt to runaway get caught or go back home. i kinda got both. Just try and stay at a friends house for a few days or like "bobs" house one night and then "franks" house another night. And then head back home. Go outside as much and let your mom know that she never seems to want to listen.-trix

Q: This is going to sound pretty freakin' stupid but last night I watched two of the Texas Chainsaw Massacres and I realized how much I want a boyfriend. Just someone to hold me while we watch horror movies and just someone I could share the warmth of being in a relationship with. I'm still young. I'm 14...but still...I can't help it. I know a lot of times being in a relationship at this age equals a lot of pain in sorrow in the end (most of the time). But at night I cry because I feel so alone and I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach and it really hurts...and my heart feels shaky and I think a boyfriend could heal that. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm "depressed" a lot but I don't know...I have this boy in mind and he's just perfect in everyway. He's sweet and we only talk online because we go to different schools. (but we live in the same town) and wow...I just really like him and I just wish that he knew. I plan on telling him but I guess it would make everything weird and I just want to cry. I feel like such a fucking sap but I can't help it. I just want to scream out I like him but I have social anxiety disorder and I've asked some more questions before about this subject but it's just hard.
AND NO I CAN'T FREAKING CALL HIM ON THE PHONE...if anything I'm telling him online and even if I met up with him at the movies in person or something then I probably wouldn't even freaking talk to him because I'm so stupid and once again I let my social anxiety disorder conquer me...

Please help me...
This isn't some sappy kid love story...I just want him to know how I feel and I have NO CLUE how he will act and I'm scared of him rejecting me...
And I guess we tell each other a lot of things online...but I don't know...in my old school people made fun of me because of my S.A.D. which is why I tranferred. He understands me because I explained it to him and he was so sweet to me and it felt like he totally understood everything I had to say. I don't know what to do...he means a lot to me and he doesn't know it...
I told him so many things about my life and he told me quite a few things about his and if I tell him I like him and he doesn't feel the same way back to me I'm afraid everything will be gone between us. The nice talks online...and just...everything.

He is such a sweet boy like I said before and he just doesn't realize how much girls like him. I'm one of those girls...but it's different. I don't like him because of his cute face... (I havent even seen the "new" him) I haven't seen him in a year and people say he "got cute" and that kind of intimidates me...looks DO NOT matter to me but I just really fell in love with this boy's personality and he is so sweet and I know he would never do anythign mean to me I'm just afraid I'll embarrass him in front of his friends if I tell him I really like him. Of course if I ask him out he's going to tell them (because that's what friends do) and I'm afraid for some reason his friends (who are realloy nice...but) I'm just afraid that they will kind of try to persuade him out of ever talking to me again (and I know that sounds weird) but...I don't know... I just have a problem with always feeling like I'm holding peopkle back. I can't help that...I feel like I'm always putting people on the spot and that I should come second rather than first in anything in their life. I hate feeling liek I hold people back which is another reason why I don;t want to tell him.
But...I just don't know what to do...

I'm SO SORRY for this long question I'm just desperate and I really like him. I think about him all the time and I just want a chance with him...I'm really sorry if I took up any of your time...just please help me...

Thanks.
Well if you he understands you and is sweet to you and you guys seem to be really good friends then that should really help on telling him. Just tell him how you feel straight out and then put a away message on thats what somebody did to me when they asked me out because they were nervous. And at least he will know that you arent going for his looks and you will know he isnt going for yours either if you two do go out. Its always a bonus that he wont hurt either!! Dont worry what others think and whats other do.. well try not to worry i know thats always a hard thing to do but try not to. And you are never really holding someone back unless you have them chained up or something. Really putting him on the spot would be asking him out in person rather then online. So go for the gold and let me know how everything goes-trix

Q: Well, me and this guy blaine have been best friends since the seventh grade. I mean best friends, i know everything about him, and he knows everything about me. I also have this best friend named Tanisha and she was the first person i told when i started having feelings for blaine. I never said anything to blaine, but in the eighth grade Tanisha told me she liked blaine. Blaine said that he only likes her for her body, and now they're together. I still like him, but i feel like neither of them cares about me any more. Everyone keeps saying just find sum1 else but its not that easy. What should i do?
Well if you all are best friends tell them weather it is hard or not they may be confused or a maybe a bit mad but if you are willing to except that for a bit then go fo it. But also let them know you cant help you like its not like you can go O HEY! I THINK I AM GOING TO LIKE THAT BOY! no you cant do that. so just let them know that and if you had a choice to not like him you wouldnt because you dont want to hurt there relationship at all. good luck-trix

Q: Ok heres the story,
I lived with my dad untill i was 121/2 .... But know i live with my mom and i am 15 .... when i lived with my dad he used to give me a suit case and tell me to move in with my mom when he was drunk or mad and now my mom does it only she doesnt give me a suit case cause i have one in my room .... When i first moved in with her she used to allways takl to me and i could tell her any thing but over time we drifted and thats normal i know for going into teens and stuff but know she loves my step dad more then she loves me .... i know she does becuase if my step dad is off some where else for work then she cant stand not talking to him at least 3 times a day even if hes only gone for 2 days and when i go to visit my dad for a weekend or for a couple of weeks she doesnt call me or anything and when i come home shes like i missed you but then goes back to talking to her husband errrr

AND THEN my brother wont even talk tod me becuase him and my dad got into a fight and he doesnt want anything to do with someone who is related to my father ....... and my family (like aunts etc..) on my dads side hates me becuase i "left" my dad and moved to my moms

Sry for sounding like a complaining person but i wanted to know why does family treat me like this? it makes me really depressed
I am sorry to hear about i i dont know what to say honestly. Thats a good question. Just tell them how you feel weather they give you stupid looks or not your just expressing and nothing is wrong with that. your mom just maybe paranoid when your dad leaves town for a work trip or not she might worry about the littlest things or misses him like crazy _trix-

Q: One of my mates since she turned 12 has been in too much of a rush to grow up. She won't go to see any PG or U films she said "Im to old for them and im 12 now i don't want to see baby films *SHE WOULDN'T GO AND SEE FINDING NEMO*" It is starting to get on everones nerves. We are all wanting to have a laugh but she takes things to seriously. We have tried talking to her but she won't listen. At christmas i asked her what she got and she said that she doesn't really care about the presents she is mainly trying to help her little brothers out. I know that your suppoesed to do that but this year she will be 13 and a teenager so why can't she just live a little cause this will be her last year as a kid. You only get 1 chance of a childhood why not take it while u can.
Can anyone give us some advise.
Tell her what you told me. Simple as that and if that doesnt get to her then she is really letting her childhood slip right on by. I am 14 and i loved finding Nemo and all those kids movies there cute. If she takes a look around her i am sure there are still 17 yr old girls dragging there boyfriends to movies like that. Just point that out to her also. _trix_

Q: I discovered a dimensional rift under my bed sometime last year. It was never a problem until just recently it began to suck in my left socks I left on the floor. In exchange for them, it deposits lady bugs in my room. The bills for my black cotton footwear are starting to add up and I can no longer stand the sight of lady bugs. Do you have a solution to my perils? Is there a way to mend this?
Kid c'mon what if some lil kid read this and got scared of there bed... dont do that lol grow up and now if you are younger then 10 then you have a bit of excuse but i highly doubt that you are.. so grow up. But if you are talking fakely here now just simply dont leave your socks on the floor and the lady bugs.. kill em some kind of spray :) trix

Q: i watch a little girl on a friday6 she drives me crazy what shouyld i do to calm her down
Pop in a movie read a story have her color bring her out to the backyard or to the park. -trix

Q: I have a few celebrity screennames I would like to share:
Justin Timberlake: Tearstick
Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty): Jimcarreyonmoon
Adam Sandler (Mr.Deeds): Triangular Earth
Kristanna Loken (terminator 3): evilyethopeless
John Raitt (???): JRamboNWL

im not sure if theyre real. my friend goes on websites, and she has 200 celebrity email addresses, but she only gave me these.
Those seem fake to me and I doubt that any celebrity would put there sn up on the web because they would constantly have people talking to them. And they wouldnt be able to talk to who they really want without a new IM popping up every other second.-trix

Q: i have been sitting in my house eversince summer break started from school and i haven't realyl done anything fun the whole summer break and we have been out for like two weeks and like i tend to find my self calling like everyone i know to find something to do and i noticed the other day i let me friend say some shit about me and normaly i was have been pissed off i just took it
and another thing is i keep lookin at all my pictures of my friends just wishing how much i had a g/f and just the other day i called my x /gf and told her i liked her? i dunno why? i don't i just miss it so much cause when we were goin out she was always there for me some times to much so can someone please tell me if i am depressed? or what the hell is wrong with me cause i am seemin to feel really sad and it seems like NOTHING is going right for me at all!
You may be a bit depressed. Just a bit down or something. Make plans for a long time ahead. Dont wait for the last minute. Go outside go meet some new friends. Go swimming. Weather you are alone or not you are at least doing something. What do you x gf say? Maybe you are depressed and maybe you need to check into a hospital if you are really concerned about it you and your mom or your guardian can go down to the hospital and they will give you tests like on the computer and ect. and you will answer all these sorts of questions weather signs point to you being depressed or not and they do then you will stay at the hospital and get cured. you will probably have to take some kind of pills to help you but whatever works works! i hope you are alright-trix

Q: im friends with this girl, we can call her "trista". anyway "trista" dissed my favorite song of like...all time, saying her grandma listens to that and it sucks and stuff X__X anyways i dont hate on the pop music she brings up...what should i do __>
Well.. this "trista" girl seems very awesome.. although i know very very little of her. She still seems it by the way :) but just tell her nicely that its your favorite song and did she say her grandma is a geek? and has bad taste in music? if she didnt then she wasnt completely dissing your music cuz i think this grandma likes rap.. and a bit of everything she isnt a picky grandma.. well im assuming. But tell this "trista" girl she is awesome from me-trix "trista"

Q: i like this certain guy. i don't really "know" him..all i know is what classes we have together, what classes he has, and how he looks like...i'm just 14 and i was wondering why i like him so much and i feel extremely depressed because school had ended and i would NEVER see him again since i'm leaving the country....i feel like i sound SO pathetic!! i have no idea why....i really hope you can answer that! because as i said, i feel pathetic...liking a guy TOO much without even knowing him or not talking to him..whenever i see him, my heart melts..and when he looks, my heart stops...school had ended yesterday and i feel SO hopeless...*ugh, i sound pathetic again*..well..i hope i can get an answer..if it's alright..thank you so much!!=)
Well its like that quote says "do you believe in love at first sight" that sort of thing. love at first sight. Dont worry about sounding pathetic.. if you think thats pathetic then im pathetic too! lol i knew i liked my bf (we are now going out) right away and i said hey i bet you by the end of the night we'll be friends and now we are more. Just in case you end up bumping into him be like hey i go to your school i think we had a few classes together.. and something will lead up. good luck-trix

Q: I've always been really bad at finding things to say to people when they're upset. I mean, I know that usually what they need is just for their friend to be there for them, but I can't just stand there while they cry...for instance, one of my friends has been having a lot of problems lately: she fights with her mother often and recently her grandfather was taken to the hospital and they think he might have cancer. She gets upset often and i never know what to say or do! I feel horrible...i need some advice on what to say when she's going through hard times or crying on the phone or whatever because I always feel that I'll sound stupid and not good enough of a friend. when someone has cancer you can;'t tell the person 'oh, it'll be okay' because it won't! so please, if you have any advice i'd be glad to hear it
You need to support her and let her no how much she means to you.Well if the person is near death reassure your friend that he will only be going to a new place and to spend time with him as much as possible. Just hug her alot and let her know that you are there for thru thick and thin no matter what. And there are always people there for her. There is really not much you can say. Just hug and talk a lil bit. -trix

Q: What should I do, I thought I liked this guy but really I just liked him as a friend so now I like one of his friends and he says he likes me but the other guys really hurt and wont get off my back! I need advice
Tell him you thought that age mattered so you thought you needed to think about everything and you relized you liked the other guy more. -trix

Q: female/15 ok this guy that i have been going out with for almost a year really wants to have sex, so do i though. I just am not quite sure if i should be having sex yet...what do you think? i really want to and i love him SOOOOO much! yes or no
No. Final Answer your to young. i know i sound like a mom but hey! lol -trix

Q: I'm fifteen years old and completely in love with a twenty-one year old guy. We have both liked each other for about 2 years now. However, the guy I like has never acted upon his feelings because of my age. He respects me, which isn't a bad thing. But how can I make him see that I'm mature enough to be his girlfriend? How could I coax him to get into a relationship with me?
Like you said 15 vs. 21 thats really all to say. You shouldnt be dating someone that old in the first place. He has other things in mind. He is almost ready to start a life and get invovled to be real serious. If you were 21 and he was 15.. would you want to date someone that young? You may get the name slut and he may get the name molestor or something and im sure neither of you 2 want those names-trix

Q: okay i dont get along w/ ANYONE in my family except my older brother. i can tell him everything. but it seems like my parents r out just to piss me off. they dont think i can think for myself and when i say something and i know what im talking about they dont believe me and think they know everything. they wont let me quit the sport that i dont enjoy cuz believe im great at it even tho they have NEVER seen me.i just cant stand it. and im going on a trip w/ them soon and i have to be in the car w/ them for a long time and i dont think i am going to enjoy it. i have heard that u get along w/ both of your parents so can u give me any pointers or ANYTHING?
Well i do try and relax when im around them i count to 10 if they yell at me to much.. haha its works kinda.. i mean it keeps me from exploding in there faces and that really keeps me out of trouble. I just say it in my head. I have a stress ball somewhere in my room. That always helps to. Or i scream in my pillow. But about the whole sport ask them if you can exchange it with a sport you do like. And let them know that you dont enjoy and you would rather acomplish something that you enjoy rather then something you dont enjoy. And for the car thing too just bring along magazines and a walkman and some CDs and just zone out in your own world. Maybe fall asleep that really helps time pass by!! Hope that helped-trix

Q: Hey ... ur buddy profile is tiight ... i got one too.. i wanted to ask u how did u get the text and pics to appear in the middle of the page rather than the left side ... i always tried to do that but it never worked ... hollah baQ ...
Well i put them in this document thing that is on my computer and center them there.. its not document but its like that and then it helps then i scoot them over by pressing the space bar and do it that way. Thats about it. Thanks though!! :) -trix

Q: I usually apply black eyeliner ( just one layer ) very near the ends of my eyelids ( the part where your eyelashes grow from ) . I would like to know if someone taller than me would be able to see my eyeliner . =)
Haha if they are looking close enough i suppose. Maybe somebody eye level with you also. Im sure shorter too if you guys are talkng and making eye contact.-trix

Q: This guy he likes me.. but hes 18 and im 14. And i dont want to be mean to him hes really nice and all. but I mean.. yea.. lOl... and your R E A L L Y pretty! lol.. well please help!
Well age doesnt matter but then again it does. You have to think about the gap between you guys. And what he really wants. And what you really want. You dont want yourself getting into a mess of some deal and not being able to get out of it like you came in.. like safe wize.. -trix

Q: Is it legal to spank a kid?
And is it legal to hug your kid even if they don't want a huge?
No, as long as your not just spanking the kid for the hell of it.. like for shits and giggles or anything like that. There has to be a reason behind it and like a lesson to be taught. And the whole hug thing. If it were illegal that would be something i have never heard of. And the dumbest thing ever. So i am sure its legal-trix
