Hi. I was taking my dog for a walk and a big dog came and started biting it and attacking it. I was trying to stop it but I couldn't. The only reason it stopped was because my dog got off the leash and started running away.
Now i'm really scared to take it for a walk. And i might be getting a job as a dog walker, so i don't know how to get over my fears. :(
Please help! (link)

Not sure if this will help, but try to remember not all dogs do that and most can't. Maybe have someone come with you just in case, sort of like a guard. Sorry that's all I can say, but that's what I'd do. Hope your dog is ok, and good luck

Hello there..
To start off I use the site Teen Ink and I'm so happy I found that site because I get to publish things I want to speak up on, and I get to publish my story's for comments and good criticism. Well I'm not very good with that, the comments I get are "It's a good story, I really like it but theirs so many spelling errors and grammatical errors, but I should finish it." Okay, I want to because I love the story I'm writing but I get to the point where I don't believe I'm good enough to write a good story.
I'm good in English class, I'm planning taking advanced English next year, but ugh I want to be a good writer I don't know what I should do ..
Any advice? Thanks for reading.. (link)

Never say you're not good enough to do something. It's good to have someone proofread it. Try to focus on these things-
•adjectives that are more colourful ex. gargantuan or towering rather than big.
•grammar- remember proper punctuation, their/there/they're, etc.
•plot- not too ranty but not too little, something new and interesting
•character personalities
•description of atmosphere, setting, etc.
•metaphors and other symbolic crap ;D along with other figurative language
Grammar is probably the least important to the story but it is helpful to meaning and whatnot. Especially with grammar nazis these days :) hope this helps, sorry if it's not what you're looking for. Good luck!

Why do I get so many crushes on guys, but there are very few I actually want to date?
There's only been 2 guys that I've met that I'd actually have really wanted to date, in my entire life (excluding celeb guys haha), but with all the tens of other guy crushes I've had I didn't feel they were good enough. So if I didn't feel they were worth being my first boyfirend and all, why would I develop a crush on them?
Like I have a crush on a guy now at school that I don't really know but idk why I just feel a connection with him.. and he's not even that attractive or anything so it really confuses me, cause usually appearance plays some part. I'm not cocky or anything, but I'll admit I have good looking features. cocky is actually a huge turnoff for me.. I almost always crush on quietly confident guys. I don't flirt (at least not consciously) cause I'm afraid of rejection, but also cause I don't want to lead someone on when I don't want to be in a relationship with them. Or do I? Sometimes I kind of fantasize about guys that I don't even necessarily want to date, like this guy on my mind right now. I'm a 17 year old girl.. is this normal? Sometimes I just feel an urge to want to kiss someone or be with someone but I still haven't even reached anywhere near that level.
Once a guy clearly had a crush on me but I thought he was gross, and then once he started liking someone else, I got jealous. What is up with that? I wasn't even doing it on purpose. But he just seemed more mature and everything. I don't even know if I'd have much time for a relationship.. and the idea of heartbreak after getting so far into a relationship is a very foreign and sort of scary thought. But sometimes it's like my body just wants it, though I have many years ahead of me for relationships.
Why am I so awkward in general.. ugh. Especially in the field of "love". I have no legit experience with it. The closest I've gotten to a relationship was like in 4th grade, but were in denial of our crushes on each other. I didn't even know he had a crush on me til years later when a friend told me, like it was obvious. Or maybe I did? Haha Idk that was many years ago. He's changed a lot and I live in a diff place, so w/e. I don't even think about him that way, anymore. Some other crushes are hard to shake, though. Oh yeah he's one of the guys I was talking about that I wouldn't have minded dating. There's another guy.. he has a gf now, and he was seriously like the perfect guy but my family had to move to a diff town, unfortunately. occasionally i still think about him and feel a bit pissed nothing could have happened. ehhhhhhhh
sorry this is just me rambling by this point. any help is greatly appreciated! (link)

I feel like this too sometimes, it's probably just that you're attracted to them but the ones you know better you dig :)

This might be long. Sorry. 13/female
(NOTE: I am a very loud person! & I'm tall 4 my age)
In 5th grade I had a teacher who was so happy and cheerful about everything,(not that I'm not a happy person, I am, it's just that nobody is that happy every minute of every day!) she didn't really give us enough work (as in we didn't learn anything, and if we did it wasn't much), just straight up, she was a bad teacher. I don't think she even knew her job was teaching kids to not still leave her class knowing the same stuff they already did when they first came in. I mean, she's a TEACHER. She is a pushover too, and that made it worse. Some people even got away with not turning in work. Whenever I would ask her about a project she would be laughing with another student and I couldn't've gotten her attention, even if i was right in her face. I could've stood right next to her for 10 minutes straight & there would still be a croud of people still talking 2 her. I got so frustrated I just gave up & I ended up getting a low grade on something. She was the language arts teacher so I guess it didn't really hurt my grade overall much because I did all my homework and anything else I could do without help, especially my own teacher!
Last year in 6th grade I had a great geography teacher. He would get us to draw maps, we always get homework that didn't take too long and was due on every Friday. We learned A LOT and had fun at the same time because he would walk around the class telling a story or talking to us about whatever it was he was teaching that day, or we would make mosaics and hang them up all around the school. And we would take notes with music on. He was a great geography teacher.
But now this year i have the same teacher I thought I was over with in 5th Grade! She gives us the answers to tests on a piece of paper to copy on it and then she lets us use it on the test. How are we going to learn like that? That's just cheating in a new way! She didn't change at all! What makes it worse is that my old geography teacher is right across the hall form this year's geography teacher, so when I go to my geography class, I want to turn the other way and not into the geography class I usually have to go to.
So, I guess what I'm asking is how do u think I can get my tacher switched with my old one? Or even get her fired? There are a bunch of kids that think the same thing.
Thanks in advance! (link)

Wow, I wish I had that teacher. Tell someone what's going on, that's all I got. Good luck!

Hi.
i am 14 yrs and am 1mth preggers and dont know what i should do. i hate the thought of an abortion and adoptipton but i am only 14 and am still a kid... what should i do, is an abortion the right chioce? (link)
| |
A teacher taught me the 10-10-10 decision making technique: how will it affect you 10 days, months, years from now. Personally I'm not for abortion, but a 14 year old is certainly not ready to handle a child (no offense) and keep in mind how the child might feel if you put it up for adoption. This is a choice for you to make. Consult parents or trusted adults and doctors. Hope this helps, and good luck.

So I've been taking birth control for a while now, and I never use condoms with my boyfriend. I forgot to take them for over a week and had a lot of sex. I started to get symptoms after a while, and I worried. Then on about what should have been the last day of my period; I bled, but only a little.
Could I still be pregnant? (link)
| |
Yes. Missed or short/light period is a sign. Best of luck to you

Yesterday I hung out with my friends all day. At 6 I went over to their dorm and hung out until 10. There were a couple guys there too but just friends. When I get back he is mad at me because I did not spend the day with him. He says that I have to apologize and that I am wrong. The next day he says that I can't hang out with those friends anymore because they tend to sleep around. I hardly hang out with anyone besides me boyfriend in the first place. Their sleeping around does not affect me at all, they are nice and never push anything on to me. They only do that when they are at parties which i am not allowed to go to without my boyfriend. So because I still want to talk to them he broke up with me. Is this controlling? (link)
| |
That's just not right, yes that is controlling if he won't let you do anything. Good luck

So there's this guy I absolutely adore and we had history but not like dating and stuff like that and lately I haven't been able o sleep because I've been so mad at myself for not taking chances! I really like him because I don't know but lately well actually after summer it was awkward and it has been getting better but now he goes to a different school and I miss seeing him everyday and I've been thinking so much that I can't sleep do you think I should tell him? And how? Like in just going to do it over a text or fb private message. My one friend thinks it'll make it more awkward my other one thinks that I should just tell him so? What now please help I'm desperate in lala land kinda in love? (link)
| |
I'm no expert but I think you should tell him. If you wait too long your chance will be gone. How you do so depends on what you want to do. I honestly think you should do it in person to make it more believable. Good luck!

who am i going to be with ? (link)

I think you need to be a bit more specific..

Ever since 8th grade I have struggled with having and keeping friends. I'm a senior in high school now and I'm still having trouble. People seem to be very jealous of me. I get told constantly "I never thought you'd be this nice, because you're so pretty and I though you were stuck up" or with my friends it's "well I mean I'd invite you to the party, but then all the guys would be all over you." or "everytine I introduce you to a guy, they always end up liking you, so I'm not
inviting you."
I'm so upset about this. I've been crying about this for the past week, because I'm down to 2 friends. I know it sounds silly to cry abou being pretty, but it's not fair, why are
people judging me like this. I never go after guys they like, I'm kind of shy so i hardly talk to guys.
Now, my last two friends are even starting to abandon me. The one is hanging out with this girl, because she said "now she's the pretty one." and she gets all the guys attention. My other friend refuses to eat around me, because she wants my body. And she has begun hanging out with these heavier girls.
I just don't know what to do. I only have 3 months of school
left, and I dont think I can make it any longer. I've asked
my mom if i can just take online classes to finish the year. I'm just so depressed about this. My best friend has been my best friend since 8th grade and she has alwYs been insecure. She had a severe eating disorder last yea that she almos died from.
What should I do? (link)
| |
Try to find friends that will accept you and won't be jealous. Also, have you tried telling them how you feel? (sorry if you mentioned this, sometimes I miss words.) Sorry this isn't a great answer, hope it helps and good luck

what do i do with a dead cat in my yard its starting to stink (link)
| |
I hope I'm not too late to answer. First before I say anything I'm so sorry for your loss :'( When my cat died, I put him in a box and gave him a proper burial in my yard. It's a good way to say goodbye and put the body at rest, and it won't stink up the yard. I hope this helps.

There is this girl at work that i really like. She's my age, 18, and she doesnt go to school yet. About a month ago i sent her a friend request on facebook, she accepted it, but she seems to ignore my messages and chat messages. I keep having dreams about her, where we are together. Everyone i talked tell me to just ask her out. But, im a shy guy and i think that going up to someone who i dont really know and asking them out is wierd or rude. We dont really talk much, and there really isnt much time to talk at work, and work is the only place that i see her. What should i do? (link)
| |
Talk to her when you get the chance but don't seem desperate or creepy. Just say hi or compliment her look or something, if possible talk more until you two are closer then when the time is right ask her out.
