what are some good truth and dares for when you play truth or dare?? (link)
ha i didnt know people still played that game!!


im a thirteen year old responsible teenager the problem with me is that my parents are getting a divorce. i dont have a problem with dat because my dad treats my mum like shit he beats her up and all all that stuff. Now i really want a boyfreind but my mum says no she says you cant have one till im 21 when i asked her why she said because in her day the didnt have boyfreinds at that age. everytime i want 2 mke my own decisions she makes them for me like wat clubs to join wat freinds i should hve what clothes to wear and im getting sick of it (i always have been) please help i also have a problem confronting her with my problems because she dups all her problems on me like im her phycatrist or sth, i cry myself to sleep everyday plse help (link)
wow doode, thats no bueno..im sorry! It sucks cuz at that age you cant realli do anything about your mom telling you who and who not to date...And i know thats the age where everyones getting boyfreind and all that, but just give her a couple more years, and if she still wont let you date, then if you find someone you really like, ask her if you can just hang out with them as freinds, but you can know its more than that. Shes probably bieng protective cause of the way your dad treats her...when that happens to people they tend to think everyones like that. But you need to try to talk to her about your problems if you trust her enough, cause that way she will be more willing to let you be more independent, she will be able to trust you, and when she starts dumping all her problems on you, tell her how you feel about it...your a kid you dont deserve to have an adults problems dumped on you. You should be there for her, but dont let her take advantage of that. I hope i helped..goodluck!


i like someone and i do everything i know to get his attention. i flirt and wear cute outfits and try to stand out in the classes i have with him. what am i doing wrong? what else can i do? (link)
if hes not noticign you with you trying to get his attention he probably nver will...no offense..that just sucks for him! If you've tryed to put your self out there and he's not responding then just leave it be...obviously he's not worth your time...but if you havnt made that much of an effort then go introduce yourself...try talking to him...but do it nonchalantly...you know? Aightgood luck!


on saturday i was out in the pub with my older sister, she went to her mates next door for a while and left me wif her mates,which i was fine with. i ended up snogging my sisters mate the thing is i was drunk and so was he.im 16 and hes 24.it was such a huge mistake and regretted it as soon as i ahd done it,he wanted me to go home with him but i refused,he got mad and stormed of home.i cant seem to foget about it. what if he tells her?no one elses saw us so shall i just deny everything.?please i dont know what to do. (link)
what the hell is snogging??ha thats awsome...where are u from??

ok i think you should probably tell your sister..and she should respect you for not going home wit him...and if she doesnt well at least you wont feel bad about lying to her...good luck


well i guess i have been sort of seeing this guy for the past like month or so but we arent bf and gf. im 17 hes 20 if that matters...anyways he usually texts me while im in school and picks me up and we hang out every monday and we also hang out on like friday and other days too but the point is every monday i believe since i met him we have hung out well todaii he didnt call me or text me or anything so im not quite sure.. the last time we hung out was on friday and he didnt act any different and what not but im confused on why he didnt call me today maybi he wanted to see if i would call him ? so basically my question is do u think he still wants to keep hanging out and maybi he didnt call cuz hes busy and should i call i him even tho its too late to hang out today? (link)
he's either just busy so give him a few days and call him to see wats up...dont seem too needy...or he's gettin scared of commetment, or he's gettin more used to the fact that ya'll are kinda together so he doesnt have to call you like every day...it sounds weird but once guys feel more comfortable that they have you..they don't call as much...etc.hope that made sense..goodluck


Hey you guys!
MiSSc here, OK so here's an update from me...I have a boyfriend now and we've been going out for a month. He asked me out on Valentines Day too. I love my boyfriend so much!! He's everything that I wanted in a guy. Exactly everything that I've ever wanted in a guy! I thought I was in love many times before, but now I know that it wasn't true love. But this time I think I finally found the one for me, even my mom thinks so and our friends too. But I'm only 15, we will both be turning 16 soon. Do you think that its possible to find love so young? (link)
Definitly...loves crazy like that...it can hit cha at any time, age, day, or place...right when your least expecting it


In the past couple weeks, ive gained 10-12 lbs and i cant stop freaking out. My exercise and eating habits havent changed and i dont know why but i keep putting on more and more weight. I feel so disgusted with myself. Can anyone explain to me why ive gained all this weight all of the sudden? (No, im not pregnant.) I dont overeat. I actually burn all my calories. Any way i can lose all this weight because exercise and eating healthy arent working? (link)
it might just be cuz your really stressed out...like in the past couple weeks, what has changed? Also it might be that your just hitting puberty...like i used to be a freggin stick..then when i hit about 13 i started gaining pounds and freaked out and went all anerexic...bad idea..dont do that..its just your body growing..i eventully stopped gaining weight and im still skiny i just got a lot taller. stayhealthy and exercise regularly...its all good.


I just want to know what are some things you can say to a girl to charm her and make her like you. Such what are some things i could say to the girl i like to just slowly make her like me. Are there anythings that girls like to hear that charms them. Thanks any help is pretty much appreciated (link)
just be nice to the gurl....dont give her too much attention, us girls always want wat we cant have, but dont ignore her either...then she gives up on you. Be flirty and sweet, give her hugs wen you see her...just talk to her..be yourself...slowly become freinds...eventually ask her for her number...call her not too much...girls get turned off by that...but once you got her....give her all you got...tell her how much she means to you..u no the drill.


Hey guys! i just started going out with this boy who is absolutly amazing... he's perfect for me, and is soooo sweet and increible i love him !lol.. we've only been going out for a month but already i've like fallen for him. But i was wondering, what are some tips to keep it going realy well? becuase i don't want to loose him. He also likes me a lot too, but i just want little things that could make him more attachted or somthing. Thankss (link)
just make sure to always have fun wen your with him, be yourself, let the weird you out..the one that everyone has but is scared to show around other ppl...as long and he feels he can be himself around you, then that will bring yall closer together, and he will feel like he can be completly open with you about everything. Be flirty, give him a little bit at a time...dont just give him eveyrthing you have at once...Make him feel like he cant live without you...always leave him wanting more...goodluck.

I'm not sure if anyone will remember this, but I had asked a question as to whether or not it would be the right thing to want to go to the same college as my boyfriend just to be together. Well, he decided he wanted to go to Arizona. To be exact, The Art Institute of Arizona and I was going to go to The Bryman School of Phoenix to study massage therapy. I was looking at houses online in Arizona and I noticed that they were dirt cheap (as in price) so we decided to buy a little house out there (There are 3-4 bedroom houses for 95,300 out there!) My only concern, it's the desert and I'm PETRIFIED of snakes. I know there are many many many snakes there. Does anyone live in Arizona that is scared of snakes? What do you do about it? Is there anything you can put around your house to prevent the snakes from going into your yard? I really have my heart set on moving there, but the only downside is the snakes. Any knowledge of this subject would be so very much appreciated! (link)
I lived in AZ for 15 years of my 17 year old life. It depends on where your moving to, if your moving out in the open desert area, then you may have a small problem wit snakes, but your def. going to have to get over that..lol...snakes live there, cant change that. If you live in the city area, or ne thing close to the city, you'll have no problem..AT ALL. I honeslty dont think there's anything you can put around your house...but theres no harm in trying...ask around, go to like home depot or soemthing...they should no. But ya other then that...its the greatest state ever!!! You'll love it...i bet you'll barley even see snakes...Have fun...i wish i could move back!


im a 21yr old single parent, amd am in love with a married man with two kids, we have been together for 4yrs this would be the 5th now, he tells me he loves me we always argue about our relationship for weeks but eventually amke up and all he teells me he is having major problems with he wife and wants to divorce her i dnt know how true this is or whether he just says so to get what he wants and it has worked for all these years, he doesn t not agree for me to see anyone else but he is married, i love him but im not sure whether it is worth waiting for he says he also wants to have a baby wiht me but what ifheruns away denies it my parents dont know about this relationship but my mum has emphasied never to go out with a married man what do i do, he also expects me to do all the contacting callin smsin and if i dont its a big story does he really love me is heworth the while???? (link)
Dump his ass, seriously, he's completly controlling your life, when he can't even handle his own!!! Stay away from him, staying with him.. thats the worst decison you can make! If he loved you, he wouldnt have a wife!! Find someone thet won't controll your life, and isnt...MARRIED!!


so me and this guy i really like decided to be friends. he said i was the coolest person ever and it made his day talkin to me but lately he will IM me and talk but hes weird like is like g2g bye. he stopped callin me like he did before and doesnt text me should I tellh im how im feeling or what? i rate high (link)
Honestly you should just leave it how it is...i had to go through the same thing a while back..im still trying to get over him, but ya he just like randomnly stopped calling and texting. Make it seem like your cool with that. U'll eventuly get over him, and ya'll will become good freinds, its better that way...trust me.
-goodluck


Sometimes I don't know who I am anymore. For the most part ive become a really sophisticated, goody good with really STRONG morals. I always do homework and go to church. I never -- cheat, steal, drink, cuss, smoke, do drugs, ditch school, party, sneak out, have sex, listen to rap, etc. But sometimes i get sick of being like that. Sometimes i just want to bust out my old dirty, rap collection and live life a little. But then later the goody/serious side of me DESPISES rap because its so degrading and disgusting. The thing is.. it's not about rap music. (That was just an example of how im like two different people within hours or days.) I really dont think i have a split personality or anything to that extreme. I just dont know who I am anymore. One part of me wants to stay moral, and the other part of me wants to break free and live. How do I find out who i truely am when both of these WAY DIFFERENT personalities keep showing? (link)
Stop listening to the bible, n people in your life that are telling you that having a lil fun is a bad thing. Do something you want to do for once...and dont let ur concious speak for a lil while. If you feel comfortable doing that, and you feel like yourself...and you dont regret what your doing...then thats who you really are.Stop litening to the world around you, and do what your heart wants to do, and you will find who you really are.
-goodluck


ive been going out with this boy since last friday (6 days) i like him so much and firday im going to a dance with him should i makeout with him or is it too soon (link)
just let it happen, if he makes the first move then go for it.but dont put the moves on him yet.


How do you know if your relationship is goin to last forever?? (link)
you never know.but if theres true love involoved then it might.


Ok i need to know what to do Im actually in love with this girl but her dad doesnt allow her to see me or talk to me and i am truly in love with her and i dont know what to do because i cant stop thinkin about her and i cant stop dreamin about her she is my one true love and i hope one day to marry her and i know she feels the same way
(link)
I don't know what to tell you, ive been in that predicament, and i never found the right awnser. Just let things happen how they happen, you cant force a situation, that always causes problems. And i know she loves you, at least it sounds that way, you will eventually be able to see her everyday so dont ruin ne thing now. but if u truely love each other it doesnt matter if your together now, or in a year, once your in love you'll always be in love...


I'm a thirteen year old female. Recently Iv'e started eating super healthy. When I'm at home eating the food there, or eating foods with nutrition information I'm fine, but whenever I eat at someone else's house or eat out and the food served looks fattening or sugary I panic. I don't know whats in it and so on. Sometimes I make up excuses for not eating things. My friends jokingly said I was anorexic before. That didn't bother me. However, now they have started to say it seriously and my own mum said I was eating in an anorexic way. I know people suffering from anorexia have poor self image, but I think I am at a perfect weight. Please tell me if I am anorexic or not. Honestly. (link)
Your at the first stage of it, thats how i started, you start realizing everything that goes in your body,and constantly counting carbs, and fat. Doode, your thirteen, stop worrying about it, you said your self your at the perfect weight. If your worried about gaining wieght, eat healthy still, but work out, and wen you want to endulge on sweets, you can do it without worrying, you could go to the gym or just jog a couple miles a few tiems a week. Trust me if you start worryin about all this now, wen you get a lil older, its going to get really bad..so fix it now!
-goodluck
