I have a very strange question to ask..but please bear with me.

Let's say a guy has a girlfriend that's really ugly. And I know I'm prettier than her. When he shares her pictures and puts her pictures up and is so proud of them...does he realize that she's ugly? or is he so glad that he has a girlfriend that he doesn't care WHAT she looks like, as long as she "belongs" to him. And in this case, he thinks she's the most beautiful girl in the world?

Because it's getting annoying. This guy makes fun of my pictures, when I know I'm SO much prettier. But when he puts up her ugly pictures, he praises them. What am I supposed to say? It annoys me that he makes fun of me, when his girlfriend is disgustingly ugly.

I know it's shallow. =/ (link)
First off she may not be beautiful but obviously he likes her, you know your prettier than her, and if he makes fun of your pictures you should just tell him that you don't like it when he doesn't, but beware of getting angry and saying well i'm prettier than your ugly girlfriend, because although that might be what you want to say, it will get you nowhere.x


okay so one of my friends kissed this guy (her boyfriend) and he wasnt suppose to tell anyone he swore to her he wouldnt no one but his best friend and he told his best friend but he also told one of my other best friends. So my other best friend (the one the guy told) told me he told her and said not to tell the friend that got kissed but shes been my best friend since we were 3 but so has the other best friend......WHAT DO i DO????? pleaseee help


thank you so much (link)
Okay so you don't want to continue the chain of gossip, so what you should do is talk to your best friend that found out about the kissing from the boyfriend, you should talk to her about how it was wrong of the boyfriend to do that and suggest she confronts your friend who kissed the boy, this way your not gossiping, and your making sure that something happens about this.


i have four best friends and all five of us hang out in a group all the time. two of them are guys and two of them are girls. anyway when one of the guys isn't with us my other friends talk about how they think the guy who is gone is gay. (i know for a fact that he isn't because i've done stuff with him and no one knows...) but it really doesn't matter if he is or not i just don't think it's right that they do this. should i tell my guy friend what everyone else is saying about him...or would that just cause trouble? (link)
There are two ways you can approach this situation one way is to confront your other friends i'm not saying you should spill the beans about what you to did, just say i don't think he's gay but you guys don't know and talking about people behind their back is mean, if that is not the path you want to take you can approach this guy and say i don't think you're gay but there are some people who do, but this confrontation can be a tough one be gentle but not too gentle you don't want to put him on the defensive, and make sure that he knows you think he's great the way he is so he shouldn't change himself just so they stop talking.


For about a year now me and my step sister have not been on the greatest of terms. we used to be really good freinds until middle school came along and she turned in to the snobby prep i couldn't even talk to. I feel like she doesn't treat me as a freind but more like her enemie i think it might be because o f my changes to with freinds and hobbbies we have grown apart i need help on finding out how to make that freindship agian (link)
Find a movie you both love and suggest to watch it together, did something interesting happen recently talk to her about it, see her reading a cool book ask her about it. And although she might be acting snobby to you i know she loves you try telling her how you feel, "i miss u" is one of my favorite phrases, maybe she feels that you've changed and don't want to be with her either.


15/f [it only looks long because i put spaces.] BUT STILL, PLEASEEEE answer. please. i need your opinionin. even if its just a yes or a no. ill ratee.

so, me and this boy were like best friends,and then, he liked me or something, and i dont know, i basically rejected him. it was realllyyy bad. so we didnt talk anymore, and each passing day, makes me miss him more and more. and whenever i see him, hes always staring at me. always. like sometimes he'll try to sneak looks [this is what all my friends say] his friends are always looking at me. [but there not like laughing or anything, there just staring.] and sometimes he'll look me straight in the eye. and we'll be staring into eachothers eyes, which seems like forever. my one guy friend, said he thinks that he misses me, and he wants to talk to me, but hes embarrassed that i rejected him.

DO YOU AGREE? yes or no.
and should i talk to him? yes or no. (link)
It sounds like yes you should talk to him, but first you need to talk to yourself are you positive you don't like him as more than a friend. And if you just like him as a friend you have to remember that he really liked you, he put his feelings out there and he got turned down he might want to still be friends with you but his heart, self esteem, and courage have to mend, remember to handle this situation gently and with care.


im friends with two girls who are best friends, stacey and olivia. i met olivia through stacey, and lately i have been hanging out with olivia pretty often. the two are still best friends, though. i don't have a problem with it. stacey called me and wanted to go to a movie, but i said i couldn't because i already made plans with olivia, which i did. she got annoyed. does she have a right to be upset with me because i made plans with her best friend? i invited her, too, but she was mad that i didn't want to do what she was doing. (link)
It's not your fault for making plans with her friend, maybe you shouldn't have said i alreayd have plans with olivia you could have just said sorry i'm busy, but you have to think about this is she mad at you for not doing what she wanted to do, olivia for making plans with you instead, you for choosing olivia over her olivia for choosing you over her, there's only one way to find out i suggest you all talk.


Alright well i want my bellybutton pierced soooo badly.

...But my parents are dead set against it.

My cousin, who is a year younger than me, recently got it done.

I want it so badly.
I'm 14..

...What can I do!? (link)
I hate to sound like a fun ruiner but you have to really think this one through is a belly button piercing really what you want, why are you getting, read up on it, and ask friends or other people who have it if they regret it, but what's going to make you feel worse no belly button piercing or lying to your parents, you don't want to lose their trust, do some research and them come up with a convincing argument of why you should get on worst comes to worst you get one in four yrs when your away from home, and if your doing it for a guy or for friends then it's just not worth it.


My best friend talks to this guy online from a town near ours (she met him after she started talking to him online). In short, he's horrible for her.
Why? Well, he does drugs, for one (he has pictures of him doing drugs on his MySpace, too). Not only that, he's told my friend that doing drugs isn't harmful (she knows it IS harmful) and that she should try them. He says that he uses drugs to deal with his mother's death. He's also older, so that makes me question his intentions.
She tells me that she won't go out with him, but since another guy she talked to got a girlfriend, I think she's changed her mind. He sends her cute texts and everything, and I think that's making her blind to all of his faults.

In a nutshell, I care about my friend and I KNOW she deserves better. What should I do?
Thanks in advance to all who read this and answer. (link)
Your friend knows you love her, and somewhere deep down she knows what you're saying is right, but she's blinded by lust, as i've told other people sometimes all you can do is point people in the right direction, books, movies, t.v. shows can all be helpful, if you tell her parent she'llmost definitely get mad at you and you may lose her trust but if nothing else works you have to tell her parents, she might be mad at you at first but eventually she'll realize you're right, and her trust for you will slowly heal, just think about would you rather a mindless druggie as a friend because this guy is going to get her hooked and then dump her, because even though your friend might think she's impenetrable to the bad influences she is talking to him isn't she and she knows what he does, everybody makes mistakes but they can't get out of them by themselves


hey everybody. well my friend who I'll call Hannah who I met in fifth grade and I were super close. We had the same best friends. Then in sixth grade Hannah moved into her moms house in a different and deserted all of us completely. She made new friends which is normal but then she forgot about us except for one girl who I'll call Emma that I'm not even friends with. Now we're all going into eight grade and Hannah might be moving back. My friends are all going to forgive her with the exeption of my best friend Rachel but she'll probably forgive her pretty quick cause shes to nice to hold a grudge. I don't know what to do cause I'm still really hurt about her forgetting about us so is it totally wrong of me to not want to forgive her without at least an apoligy. I mean do you really think it would be normal for us to just go back to being best friends after all that has happened. I didn't find out from her that she might be moving back, I found out from another girl in her town! Any help would be great. Sorry it's so long ♥ (link)
First off don't be mean to her, but that doens't mean you have to rush back to her side. And although she deserted you she might not have meant to and don't expect that she's mean. Just think to yourself how much of an effort did you make to keep in contact with her, maybe this "emma" girl did make a big effort. Start off fresh see if you still share interests ad once you've planted that base again tell her how you feel


ok...im 13 and so is my friend..but she has some..well..problems..heres how it goes..a few weeks ago i saw my best friend that i hadn't seen in 3 years..she ended up staying the night at my house a whole week two weeks later..she told me everything that happened since we had last seen eachother..she told me that she used to cut herself and had an eating disorder and she still did it once and a while..im worried that she might end up harming herself..she told me she had it under control but i dont beleive her..she said that it was addictive and i dont know what to do..i told her that i wouldnt tell no body so im not going to..so please dont tell me to tell someone..if you could send me some websites for her to look at or something like that it would be a LOT of help...or even give me a few things i could say to her..i plan on telling her how i feel next time i see her..but i need something more..help! (link)
What is your friend interested in reading, watching television, movies, maybe you can recommend a book, tv show, or movie you enjoyed which relates to this topic and how to deal with it, although telling her how you feel is a great idea don't say it all at once because if you do you might scare her or make her go all defensive, and remember she told you this which means she trusts you a lot.


is there a distinction between cheesy and corny? (link)
Though they might be synonyms in the dictionary, i would say my personal distinction is
cheesy is when your boyfriend sings you a love song below your window, somewhat used and stereotypical but still sweet

corny is when your mom brings out the baby pictures in front of company, annoying and embarassing but sometimes funny


okay this obvii isnt the right topic but i couldnt find one. im 14/f and we just started summer break, all my friends are leaving for nationals for softball and on vaca so i'm left a while home with no one for a few weeks. i am so bored now and i lay in my room then go outside for an hour or 2 to tan but then i cant sleep well at night cause i layed around all day does anyone have any ideas on what i can do to entertain myself this summer! (link)
If it's hard for you to do what you like by yourself then try something new, arts, sports, animals, nature, not only will you not be bored you'll make new friends. If you're very bored at home go somewhere else, and try not to laze around, that's for sure going to put you in a bad mood.


my best friend left for summer camp yesterday and shes gonna be gone a week. when i say best friend mean it. we do everything together. i went on vaca with her i sleep over her house almost every night. im with her all day 9am to about 11pm everynight we have a fire and stuff with mores. and now shes gone for the week i wrote her a letter and sent it today with smoes in it.lol. buyt im bored out of my mind. does anyone know something i could do to passs the week MUCH MUCH quicker? (link)
I'm not saying you should forget about bff, but try something knew whether it's sports, pets, buisness schemes, arts, this way your not bored anymore. She's having a good time so why shouldn't you, and remember a week is only seven days so try something new and if it doesn't work out when she comes back home you can always go back to the norm


14 f

Does anyone have good flirting tips? what do boys like? What are some things I could do to show this boy I like him without saying it ? (link)
A lot depends on the boys personality, is he show-offy and assertive, or shy and sweet natured. No matter what kind of guy he is body-language is super important, when you're talking maintain eye contact, smile :), bite your lip and look into his eyes, and remember guys like girls who are real so don't try to fake your way into his heart, and when he talks to you talk back, you don't have to be all over him but if you play to hard to get he'll never know you like him. hope it helps


has anyone ever finished reading the entire dictionary cover to cover? can i do it (link)
I hate to sound like a boring old cliche, but you can do almost anything when you put your mind to it, and even if you get bored halfway through or get distracted you'll have learned a lot, and you will sound more sophisticated when chatting


I have a best friend, he says to me yesterday the smallest thing that made me mad.. the way I eat my icecream. I know this sounds weird but I was upset. I talked to him but he said he couldnt take my mood swings. What's some advice about not switching moods. I know this is dumb but I would really like a good response

Thanks.. (link)
Mood Swings get the best of us, but sometimes the best thing to do is take deep breaths, maybe you have a favorite song that always puts you in a good mood, play it or just sing it in your head. And one of the best remedies i know is a smile, sometimes when you smile you can't help but be in a good mood. Just do what makes you happy, and stop and don't stress or freak out


My dog ran away tonight he's just four months old. My family and I have looked high and low for him. I need to know if dogs can remember where they live he's only been to our new house for a day now... (just moved in)


1) any ideas on what i should do?
2) where can i get a dog whistle? (link)
I don't know if this helps but when i first got my dog he got out through an open door, he was gone for a day. I was so worried he was so small and we'd just gotten him that day, i felt so awful. I was about to throw in the towel, i thought i'd searched everywhere. I went around our neighrborhood once more, i heard a soft whimpering at the construction site of a house at the end of our street, i saw my puppy laying down he had gotten caught in a pile of wood, i guess what i'm trying to say is sometimes the things you are looking for are closer than you think, and don't give up
