When browsing through this surprisingly interesting site, a rather sad fact was brought to my attention: I could not find one comment, question, or otherwise significantly sized statement written by a user in which any of the basic rules of grammar and word placement were properly utilized. I was suddenly compelled, in a lightening-like flash to become the only bitter and or cynical advisor who had a justifiable reason to be cocky and detached. And then, in an instant, I tripped over a radioactive bucket of waste that may have been a friend of mine and became ‘Angst Ridden Teen Who is Conveniently Masked by The Internet’! Now equipped with super bitchifying glowing lasso action!

I'm a great advice columnist but i guess every advice person needs some advice as well.

Ok so about a month ago my sister and my brother in law came to visit us and i was sleeping (it was night time) and I remember waking up for my brother inlaw touching my leg. I didnt think much of it but after that I kept on thinking about it. Well i was at their house and last night he said he was sorry, and i didnt know what he was talking about and i was like for what and hes like I touched you in a place that you shouldnt have been touched by me (higher than my legs) I dont know what to do! because I mean I dont think he was doing it for more than a sec cuz i think i woke up right away but I dont want to tell my mom and dad because my dad would kill him and they would say something to my sister and then my sister and him would probably get a devorice and my sisters really happy. I mean that was the first time but I still cry about it like i feel so violated and i dont know what to do. I cant sleep cuz i think about it. All I do is cry about it. Please help me please!

I promise i'll rate a 5 no matter what! Atleast your trying to help me. (link)
You need to tell someone, even if it does ruin their relationship, even if he does die, because he has now not only broken 2 laws, he has violated you in a way that you cannot, as a being with self respect, stand for. It is not your place in this case to think of what will happen to ANYBODY else. Tell your parents, tell a counsler, tell someone who knows you and can take actions to resolve this. If you don't try to help yourself by getting him what he diserves, you will hate yourself, and feel like you diserved to have it done.
Please, for the love of serenity, tell someone.
And good luck, Please IM me if you need or want Anything. Remember, at whatever cost, that it is not your fault.

Oh, and also, try not to care what happens to him, he violated you, not the other way around. You should feel no guilt for his consequences, or even your sisters as a result, because it was His doing, please remember that. If you don't tell, you will be hurting your sister more because you are keeping a secret from her about her husband's breaking of a vow. Good things are to be kept to yourself for enjoyment, bad things are to be told so that they can be eliminated.


Anna Joe
The kid no one really knows
Just sat
She was kind of fat
Every day people would critize
About her size
I was the only one who heard her crys
Her endless sighs
I never knew
What she was about to do
It was a misty Monday
I wish she found have found another way
We walked in
Right before she commited her sin
They laughed at her and called her fat
And there I sat
Wanting it to stop
I could have fought
Before I could think
In just one blink
She reached in her shirt
Everyone screamed as shots beamed
Up and down each row
Then it came to me and she said no
I was in shock
Then came a knock
Hurried,
In her head
There everyone sat dead
I burst in tears
Because I had no more peers
I could have stopped this all
I heard voices down the hall
Terrified yells
And there i was
Just because
I did'nt call her fat....
But I just sat
I let her cry,
wanting to die
And it just might be
Because of me
Everyones dead
And poor Anna shot herself in the head

Honestly it sounds like you stole Jeremy's story, for one. It has a nice rhythm but definitely needs work, mostly in the area of syllable flow and vocabulary. I'd revamp it and post again if I had written it, because it's just not Quite right.


HELP! I'm going to a party 2nite, and I need 2 get rid of two nasty looking pimples! I already popped them, but blood just came out. HELP!!! I'll rate, just please help! Don't delete this question, please! (: (link)
Alright, use hydrogen peroxide.
People say to use toothpaste, and that is the ingredient in toothpaste (whitening toothpaste anyway)along with menthol that helps heal zits
What you need to do is put some peroxide in the cap, and poor it over the zits, wait until white bubbles come out, and then wipe it off. They should get much smaller, if not, use some ice, and if all else fails, makeup =)


I'm addicted to taking pictures of myself, i have lyke over 400 recent pics. All of my friends lyke always say that I'm lyke conceited or that I'm in love with myself, but I honestly think their just jealous!...what should i lyke do?!@#$^&!? (link)
I honestly hope this question was a joke. For the love of everything that may ever have been good in this world, someone please tell me that this female does not exist.
If however she does, I have a small bit of advice. No, people don't like when you pay a lot of attention to yourself, especially around them (this set of actions can be called 'vanity')
They dislike this because 1) if you are paying attention to yourself and how fabulous you suppose yourself to be, you aren't looking at their drastic grasps at being noticed. 2) if you take 400 pictures of yourself, that’s at least 3 hours of time spent being a completely worthless human being. You might try this: whenever you think about taking pictures of yourself, think of something more productive to do, taking pictures doesn't make you a better person. You may be pretty, but I doubt people are jealous of you, because you have no personality, no interests, and no concerns that aren’t very closely related to you
Other people matter, even if they aren’t narcissistic, noticing that will get you a lot further than hours in front of the mirror.


when are the earliest signs of pregnancy and what are they??? how can you avoid a birth IF NESSECARY?? (link)
All right, depending on when you last had unprotected sex, you might take the rape pill, and nix it that way.
If you miss your period for a month or even two, don't fret, it happens, especially to younger women.
But take a pregnancy test just to be sure.
If it turns out you Are pregnant, contact an ob/gyn and figure out your options (I don't have a liscense, I can't tell you what is best). If you are trying to hide this from your parents, there is no miracle abortion tactic unless you are aquainted with a practiced martial artist, in which case there is an 'abortion strike' which will instantly stop the growth process of a fetus. It is, however, terribly difficult to find someone who can safely preform this strike.
Good Luck! And calm down, worrying makes every situation worse.


i really like this guy but hes gay and hes soooo nice and cute and he likes me but hes neva had a relasionship with a guy idk y he says hes gay???? what should i do (link)
My only advice is to be ware. If a guy says they are gay, and yet won't show any physical evidence of this, he is most probably using this statement to get close to girls who would normally be uncomfortable around him.
I know a lot of secrets that guys don't like being told because I have been for many years 'one of the guys'
One of the dating tips my Boyfriend used to give to his friends was 'Just tell them you're bi, girls love that'
Just watch out, guys are immoral bastards.


My best guy friend hangs out with my boyfriend. Today he told me that my boyfriend was talkin about how annoying I am because I play mind games with him (I have NO idea what kind of mind games I play..) He said he doesn't love me as much anymore and he might break up with me.

Should I believe my best guy friend and expect the worst... or do I just ask my boyfriend about it and hope he doesn't get mad at my guy friend.

I don't want to ruin their friendship, but I don't want to get my heart broken because I didn't listen to my guy friend... What should I do?? (link)
Alright, if you ask your boyfriend he might try to lie and you might want to believe him. But asking him is still the most direct way to go, I would just expect that Both of them might be lying, and go with your gut feeling.


when i was in 4th grade my dad came to my school and told me he was leaving forever. My dad is a very abusive person and threatend a lot of stuff on my family. Its been 5 years and hes back. My mom is afraid she wont meet any guys again. So my dad is living at my house and he yells at me a lot when my moms not home. Im scared of him bcuz he might still be abusive. My mom doesnt understand and i dotn know what to do. i get in a fight with him every day. Please help. (link)
Most women stay in abusive relationships because they feel they diserve it, or feel they cannot do any better, therefore I don't think that directly talking to your mom will do any good at first, beacuse this probably seems right to her. My suggestion is similar to the others, contact a counsler of some kind, and try to let them understand the severity of the situation. Do your best to get your mother to your school or a counsling ofice to have a meeting with the three of you (the counsler, your mother, and you). If you can't get her out of the house without your father's knowing then do Everything you can to get the both of you to a counsler, including lie to him. The reason for this is that usually adults will not listen to children, they need the opinion of a responsible adult, and if she doesn't get that I promise you the situation will progress and become physically abusive.
I have been dealing with abusive family situations for quite some time now, and have lived in them, and this has Always been the best solution. Until you can do this, STEER CLEAR of your father, and let him win arguments in as gentle a way as possible.
Also remember, this has nothing to do with you, both your father and your mother have serious functionality issues, and that is NOT your fault.
Please, for your sake, get an adult to privately talk to your mom.
If you want, IM me, and I will look up abuse counslers in your state. You may feel very scared and as though nothing will help, but trying is absolutely necessary.

Well, i know this type of question is asked a lot, but i haven't seen it yet for girls.
im almost 13 and going into 7th grade, and i was wondering, what do 12 and 13 year old boys look for in a girl? Does it matter if they're not amazingly beautiful? What about acne, dare i say?
~*Laura*~ (link)
What I have found in past years of experience is that the young see charisma before they see beauty. A best friend I had growing up was not very aesthetically pleasing, and yet stole many of my boyfriends because she was outgoing. However I don’t think it is the Best thing to mold your self to what they want, if for no other reason than that is not what they want. What young men tend to like is a female with self confidence, and if you had that, you wouldn't be changing to get their attention. Perhaps it is a better idea to learn to like yourself, as you are, because that is what most boys, and people in general like in a person.
And about acne, I have always had terrible acne, and I got on an oral antibiotic to remedy it. Caking on makeup just makes someone look as though they hate their face, so try to keep it conservative even if you have just had a bad breakout, its better to see zits than paste =). Secondly, you might want to ask your PCP about getting medicine for your breakouts. I know it’s embarrassing, but it helps with your self confidence tremendously!
Good luck, IM me if you have any more questions

signed - confused =/ (link)
I cannot tell you the motives driving his actions, but I know that the actions themselves are unacceptable. If I were faced with this challenge, I would do my best to get out of the situation and try to forget the young man ever existed; this is because your current relationship with him seems only to lead to pain.
Try to cheer up, males tend to do strange things, though some of them simply arent worth your trouble. If you honestly are willing to take the risk of being hurt, you might try talking to him about it. It could be something as simple as a misunderstanding of feelings!
Either way, try to be honest with yourself, and Good Luck!


ok ill get rite to the point. i have a problem with being open. i dont like telling ppl anything. my mom and dad always try to get things out of me but most of the time it doesnt work. ive been trying to lighten up and tell ppl things but its hard. does anyone know how i can tell ppl more about me and how i feel? i always think that they are y feelings that i keep to my self. i mean why should anyone else care about how i am feeling? is this right? please help...i rate~

to many feelins inside (link)
There are many different ways that people can handle their feelings, some less healthy than others, of course. Your way of handling your feelings can be considered unhealthy because no one can help you handle things you need help with if you never let anyone but yourself know that they exist. I think the best solution is to look at what is important to say, and what doesn't really matter. It's fine to keep things to yourself, but its not at all in your best interest to keep All things to yourself. Try thinking 'If a loved one were feeling this, would I feel the need to help them?' Or, who knows, you could just think to yourself 'Do I want or need help with this?'
If it seems logical to you not to tell someone something, after looking at its effect on you, then it will most probably be fine to keep it to yourself, just try not to force yourself into silence. No friend or loved one will prefer that you keep your feelings to yourself if you want to share them.


ok first off, im kind of pale and white and i have ALOT of freckles....is their anyway to like make them go away? or tan fast? bc when i tan i dont really tan i burn n peal and its nasty and all my friends are like wow you need to get a tan..or dang you are so white!! what do i say when they say this and how can i tan to make my freckles like blend in?? (link)
I hate to have to say this, but freckles will always show up. I have so many, I've been dealing with my Irish skin for a very long time, and I've found that it’s best to just stay pale. Being tan looks very strange on those who were originally freckled and/or very pale, and attaining this state is extremely difficult. It's just something we of western European descent must live with. Again, I’m sorry. I’ve learned to love pale skin, eventually your friends will STFU and envy you when they have skin cancer =P


I met this guy last summer at a resort, and I fell in love with him! Both of us had fun all week. We had a bond fire played basketball and alot more.At the end of the week we both had to go home, ( and he lives in a different state)so I figured I would see him again next year. I've talked to him all year on the internet and the phone and ect. When ever I talk to him it always sounds like he likes me and when we say good bye on the internet he types " Bye bye kiss kiss" Now I have had my friends ask him if he likes me and he wont answer them. I even asked him if he liked me. He did not answer me back. What does it meen when he didnt answer me back? Should I talk to him about it and tell him how I feel? and Do you think that he likes me?
(link)
The chance to me that he 'likes' you seems just as high as the chance he wouldn't. Maybe he is afraid to say he likes you because he wasn't originally planning on any kind of commitment and doesn't know how to act and express his feelings? Maybe he thinks that you don’t like him and so doesn’t want to say that he does? Perhaps, even, he may not like you and may think it pointless to hurt your feelings by telling you so. Either way, I would calm down a little, take it slow, and he will give you his answer when he is ready. Just be prepared for any outcome =). I think you may be taking it slightly more seriously than he anticipated, and he doesn't know what to do, but that's just at first glance. Good luck.


I made up a personage vividly in my head about a year ago. I know everything about him. When something goes wrong, this imaginary person appears in my mind. I haven't told anyone about him yet. His name is Elliot and I suddenly think of him everytime something bad happens. What does this mean? And no, I'm not putting the blame of things that I've done on an imaginary figure. I think he's causing the bad things (??) (link)
I think that perhaps you made this character to comfort you when things weren't quite the way you wanted them. Perhaps you began to associate his presence with those things and the meaning of his existence changed. It is very likely that you are simply confusing the reason for his involvement in your problems. Imaginary figures are almost always created for a warm arm to lie in for those who feel they are alone. In reality, his 'cause' depends on whether you are doing the bad things that happen; he has no other medium of action. If he were 'causing' these things to happen, you would be doing them. If not, the reason he appears when they happen is because that goes along with his original purpose, to comfort.


An etched out poem reread,
Many times crumbled and then smoothed.
Can this truly capture how I feel?
My words seem so far removed.

How can I define this feeling I get
At every accidental touch?
This energy, this passion,this undescribable lust
The most desirable and beautiful rush.

Words are far to capricious,
They die after being written down.
I need something with substance with truth,
Something with validity and sound.

A kiss can speak a thousand words
Even poets can not define.
So kiss me now so I can remember
All the things I wanted to say, but couldn't find.



(link)
That's a very nice poem. Your format reminds me much of my own...sadly though, the best poetry spawns from extreme pain, as I'm sure you know. I am not sure what to say, because the poem could be interpreted in several different ways, however I have a strange statement for you: I hope most of your reasons for writing fantastic poetry will soon die out, excepting the one kind of passion that isn’t painful while it lasts. Good luck.


I broke up w/my b/f of 8 months almost a year ago. He was heartbroken at first, but then got over it and now is going out with another girl. I haven't found anyone who's like him, and I miss him so much. But he's over me, and I still need him. Help!!
~Kat (link)
Why did you break up with him to begin with? This has a great deal to do with how you should react; if you would like to discuss this more thoroughly, talk to me on AIM (Kangaelf)


i want to go on a diet but i dont no how to go about it. please could some one help me


thanx for ya help (link)
I know a fantastic diet, message me on AIM and I will tell you about it, its far too long to list here. KangaElf, =)


Do you think diet pills really work? If so what kind is the best to take? Thanks (link)
Diet pills will make you lose weight, but if you take them without exorcising you will lose muscle before losing fat, they say plainly that by taking them and exorcising you will see the proper outcome, and Only then. If your muscle tissue is taken your metabolism will slow down, even with the pills, and you'll gain fat more quickly. Yes, they work, but you Must maintain activity, and you must realize how dangerous they are if not properly used.


I'm stuck between two guys.. I don't know which one to choose even tho I already go out with one of them. Before I started going out with boy 1, my friend introduced me to boy 2 and things were going great. Then, I went to hershey park with boy 1 (and the rest of my school) and we hit it off! we went of every ride together and he was being such a sweetheart (and still is) and we cuddled the whole ride home! After that, we started going out. The day after we started going out I left for soccer camp and the beach, so I was gone for 2 weeks. When i came back I was hanging out with boy 1 alot and everything was going great... and then I saw boy 2 the other day at the pool.. and OMG he looked so cute! I've started talking to boy 2 a lot now.. i still talk to boy 1 a lot tho.. I'm confused about who i like more tho. I really like my boyfriend, but then i remember that if i hadnt started going out with him I'd be going out with boy 2. boy 2 still has feelings for me.. he was asking about me while i was gone and i do like him too. Boy 2 is also a year older than me, not that it makes a difference. but i like that he's older.. and its not like he's some older badboy, he's a nice guy. I'm just not sure if i should stick with my boyfriend for the summer, or break up with him and be single for the rest of the summer so i can have both, or stay with him and just flirt with boy 2 still? HELP ME! (link)
You don't have to be with someone. If you don't know which one to go with, NEITHER is right, so be with no one. It's not that bad, and it's much better than choosing one and being with the wrong person. So just sit back, relax, and try not to let it bother you, because you may want to be with them, but if you don't want to be with One more than anyone else, it's not worth the trouble.


I belive in God, but i was wondering, if God created us, and all the earth, how was he created and how did he create everything, what was it it all like w/o God, how can he just appear from thin air when there is no thin air, were does he appear from if there's nuthin to appear from, how did he create the universe and beyond, if there was never anything to create it from, if there was once no such thing as the universe, where did he create it from, was there sumthin before God, and if so how did he/she make stuff, where did God come from????????

if it helps, i belive in Christianity, and I'm a catholic (my parents are catholic, and i was brought up in a catholic church, but when i moved, i started goin to a non denominational church, i haven't been to church in about 7.5 months, and im thinkin about goin back to church so i wanted info)

if u don't know how to answer this, please just put ur input, like even if all u said was unexplainable i'd still rate ya a 3, unless i get a rude remark, i'll rate you a 3,4,or 5 usually i rate 4s and 5s tho!!

i've asked my really religious nayber, and she said God was always there, ALWAYS WHERE? (link)
If that little bit fries your brain, try this.
God created everything, and he wants Everybody to be happy and prosperous, yet he created Satan, and evil exists. Try to roll that one over your tongue a bit. None of it fits together, it’s not meant to. Basically believing is just a Huge leap of faith, and you either have to do that, or choose to stop believing, because there is no way that more clarity can come to you. Most devout Christians and Catholics can't tell you why they believe, they just do. So if you want to, do, and good may come of it, but It’s completely on you, no one can help you with this, because it's all about your faith.
