Dear Erin,
Theres this guy i met a LONG time ago. We were close.. really tight like best friends. Anyways theres this girl that hes known forever and shes a demanding bitch (scuze my french) and shes changed him so much. He doesnt realize it of course but he has. Recently i was talking to him online and he told me he liked me n the other girl but would never go out with us. But we were more then just *other girls*. Anyways hes ALLWAYS around her in school and it seems like we never talk in schol cuz we have no classes together this year but hes ALLWAYS around her. ANYWAYS i like him. like more then just a friend but hes ALLWAYS around the bitch. And he used to be like obsessed with her. ANYWAS i have NO IDEA wat to do! So ADVICE WOULD BE WELCOME ERIN!

Dear Love Sucks,
Arrange a time when you two can spend some time together (without her)! If you go to my school, we have long breaks, so meet with him then. Ask him why he says he will never go out with you. I mean if he likes you and considers you more than just *another girl* whats the problem right?. If you have a problem with this other girl, tell him nicely. Let him know that you think she isn't the nicest person and that she has changed him and how she makes you feel. I've learned that the best thing is to be completely honest with people. It takes you further in life! And, have you ever heard of weekends or after school? Meet with him then! Find chances to be around him whenever you get! Talk to him about things too, and hopefully things will work out for the better! Sorry this advice isn't very good, but I hope it helped somewhat!

Dear Erin,
For Christmas I am allowed to get a pet. My parents said I have to get a small house pet that has fur. Basically a dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, ferret, gerbel, well you get the picture. I have always wanted a pet to own for my self, and now is my chance! I really want a SMALL dog, like a maltise or something, but I was wondering if you knew of any small dogs that are the kind that will curl up with you and be playful but get along wiht you too! Thanks!

Dear Pet Searcher,
Getting a small dog is hard work. If you have younger siblings or are wanting a dog to play aggressively with, then maybe a little bit bigger is the right dog for you. Thats not nessesary true, because whatever you want is what you should get, just remember that small dogs are fragile and require alot of attention. To look for a list of small dogs and their characteristics, I have provided you with a few websites to help make your search more convienent!

what do you do when you like someone but they dont like you back but yet you two are friends
Hmmm.... This happens to everyone sometime or another! Does this person know you like them? Do you know they dont like you? If you havent talked about this wiht them then u cant be sure. IF you have an you know they dont like you, dont lose hope! Stay friends with her but dont suffocate her wiht ur "affection" as time goes on your relationship will grow hope this helped and good luck!

Ok, so I am a new lil fishy at school. And I am taking 2 Pre-Ap classes. About to be three. And if i do say so myself i am doing pretty well. EXCEPT one. Leap English. It's kicking my butt! I don't know what to do! It's so hard. And I study really hard but i still make bad grades! I am trying everything and it just wont work! I have tried turuoring with the teacher but she is stupid and weird and doesnt help me at all. What should i do? Get a professional tutor? quit the class? SOMETHING!
~&* Swamped and Confused!*&~
Dear Swamped and Confused,
Well, I hate to say this, but if your truly studying hard and are keeping focus and not goofing off in class, and still making bad grades, you might need to consider dropping the course. You need to go up to your teacher when she isnt too busy and tell her you are struggling and dont just ask her for tutoring, tell her what you specifically need help with, and if she doesn't give it too you or if you don't understand, ask her what she thinks you should do. Make her listen. If she wont then tell your consuler and he will help you decide if you should stay. Dont wear your self down! High school is supposed to be SUPER FUN!!! not super stressful! good luck wiht this and hope it helped!
xoxo erin!

Dear confused and crushin,
Haha! Wow this question is like words taken straight from my mouth! In my opinion, You only live life once, so take a chance. When your talking to him, bring up the subject about who he likes. If he does mention you, then go for it! If your name doesn't come up, don't wait for him. Directly ask him if he likes you. If he says no, its not the end of the world, and there are plenty more guys to choose from! If he says yes, then yay for you! Thanks for this question, I kind of just gave myself some advice! Good Luck with this and let me know how things worked out! Hope this Helped!

dear erin,
what do you do if one of ur friends talks bad about you behind your back? i know for a fact she does this, because she says all the mean stuff to my best friend, who tells me. but she acts like nothing is wrong to my face! i don't know what to do, because it really makes me mad, but if i ask her about it, she turns it on me and says how much i hate her, even thought i don't! please help! thank ya!
I am very familiar with this subject.In my opinion, I'd rather know what a person thinks of me by them telling it to my face, versus talking about me behind my back. One thing you definatly should NOT do is talk bad about this friend behind HER back because that would just bring you down to her level, and what would that get you? Though you are going to hate this, you HAVE to talk to her. Take her aside (it's better if she is in a good mood) and talk to her about it. Even though you might not realize it, your tone with her is probably not the nicest tone you could have. Don't accuse her of talking bad about you, but instead just calming ask if the things you heard are true. Keep calm through the whole time, and don't start ignoring her because you THINK she might be saying this things. I could go on about this for ever and have ALOT more advice about this. If you want you can IM me, and you should have my screenname because thats how you got this link! Good Luck and IM me if you need more help, I've been down this road ALOT and know how it works! Hope i Helped!

Dear HINKLE! what do you do if one of ur so called (friends) told u to rbeak up with your bf but then GOES OUT WITH HIM?
SIGNED, MAD AND PISSED etc.
Dear MAD AND PISSED etc,
Friend: Someone who can be trusted and will be by your side when everyone else is against you.
To me, this doesn't sound like a friend. Friends don't do that to each other. If you haven't done so already, then talk to them calmly, asking why they would do that and explaining how it made you feel. Don't ignore them and don't be mad at them without confronting them. They need to that they hurt you. Its up to you if you choose to continue being friends with them or not. Also, talk ot your boyfriend and explain to him why you broke up with him, and see if you can work something out . And always remember, there are PLENTY of *fish in the sea*, so if things don't work out with him, *go fish!* Hope this helped!

HeY! xo_sherry_ox here! I'm going to be a Mean Girl for Halloween(You know the plastics). I'm not being a particular one, because I'm a Brunette but yeah anyways. I'm going to get a white shirt and I want to put anything that has to do with Mean Girls on it. I know I'm going to have "Thats so fetch!" and "Plastic" on the shirt but if you guys have any ideas that would be cool..i'll rate all 5's
I know that a few weeks ago Wet Seal was sealing Mean Girl shirts. Check with your local Wet Seal to see if they still have them. To find a store close to you go to http://www.wetseal.com and scroll down to the Bottom where it says find your zip code. Good Luck!

dear erin
i know you are a very gorgeous person and you always know how to dress. i need some new clothes for school. could you give me some advice as to where to shop? thx!
luv,
chelsea
o was i supposed to put my name?
Chelsea,
Wow! Thanks so much even though I don't tend to always agree with that.. lol :/ When you are at a malland you see a store that catches your attention, don't be shy! Go in there and look for clothes that YOU like. If you see something that is "in style" but you think its the dumbest thing ever, don't get it. Get the things that express who you are and make you feel confident and happy with yourself. Hope this helped! O and yes you can put your name if you want!

My mom just recently told me she wants to move out, but told me not to tell my dad yet. she said she thinks it will be best for the family and doesnt listen to me when i say that she is best for the family. she says that our dad will be happier and we will be happier, but i dont agree. she said she wouldnt move until she got a job and had some money, but what should i do in the meantime?
thx for your help,
worriedwonderer
worriedwonderer,
I think you should respect your mom's wishes but have serious talk with her. Make her listen and tell her that her desicion is NOT the best for your family, and that you NEED her. Explain to her what it would be like for you without her always around. Tell her to have a talk with your dad about this. She needs to be discussing this with him and not making you keep it to your self. Good luck and Hope this helped!!
~Erin!
