I really really like my best guy friend. And if I ever lost him, I would feel like dieing. He likes me too. But I'm afraid that if we end up dating and breaking up, we won't be like we are now anymore. All of my ex's I barely talked to after we broke up. No matter who broke up with who. And one of my ex's and I who now hate each other, used to be really close. So if you even understand this sinse it's kind of confusing. Can someone out there please give me advice on what to do?


Ps- Don't tell me to forget about him-because I think about him all the time.
I've already thought about this for a long time and I still don't know what to do.

Sorry this is long but I will rate!!

Thanks (link)
If you feel that strongly about it, then I would just go for it, otherwise you will be driving yourself crazy. However, relationships tend to mess up friendships, so it just depends what you treasure more, friendship, or a possibly a short lived relationship.

If you are really that good friends, your friendship should survive.

Good luck!



What does it mean to say, for example, someone in you family has been twice removed? (link)
It means, say someone says your cousin twice removed...

It would be your cousin's children's children.


Well yesterday was my brothers birthday but he died about half a year ago.I'm really sad cause he would of been 22 years old. I noticed that my dad is sad about it and I'm also feeling the same but a bit confused I'm not sure wut to think or feel. I want to do something special to give him the message he's still alive in my heart though I'm not sure what to do.I can't goto where he was buried cause he was buried in Florida and I live in Texas. it's a long story but yea... any idea's would be highly appreciated thanks in advance.
-my prayers goto all who need them- (link)
Could you visit a spot you both liked, or he liked and leave something there? Like a beach, or park or something?

I'm sorry for your loss.


I drank last night and got tipsy. I remember everything so I wasnt really drunk. Anyways I think I have a small hangover. I feel like I'm going to throw up and I'm a little light headed. What should I do? Should I force myself to throw up to get it out of my system, should I eat or take medicine or something? Please help I really dont feel good. (link)
Last time I had a hangover, I was sick and I felt slightly better, then just went to bed for the rest of the day.


I used to be in this cooking class and they gave me a sheet on how to make pancakes. I lost that sheet and now I'm craving pancakes at 11:30 p.m...strange, huh? well, i was wondering if anyone knew the recipe..?? I know ya'll will say "google it" but i did and every recipe had baking powder..we don't have that right now..so does any one know a recipe that excludes baking powder? also, can anyone tell me how to cook it also?..THANK YOU! (link)
You don't need baking powder in pancakes. Just follow a recipe and don't use baking powder. Simple.


ok tomorrow me and my friend want to do something really random...we already thought of spending the day at walmart...and going bowling...and things like that but i need someting really mental and weird

got any ideas (link)
You could go and have a picnic in a big store. Just find a space where you won't be in the way, and lay out a blanket, get some food. It would be funny.


i rate high!!!!!!!

i'm 13 and my mom won't let me get pierced ears. the problem is....earrings are my favorite jewelry & i'm obsessed with looking at them & buying them (except i can't because i can't wear them!!). so i have to wear clip-ons and they don't have a big variety and they come off easily or break easily, etc... i really want pierced ears, i think i'm probably the only 13 year old girl i've ever met who has no pierced ears (except ones that didn't want them, and i've only met one girl like that). i know i shouldn't give in to peer pressure but ever since i was really little, i saw this woman wearing earrings & i wanted to wear those SO badly! my mom says i'm not responsible or w/e. we have a housekeeper & i did chores FOR her and proved i was responsible and i have contacts and hamster and i clean my room a lot and EVERYTHING but she still won't let me have one! sometimes i tend to be somewhat irresponsible like every normal girl but then she points it out AND IGNORES ALL THE RESPONSIBLE THINGS I DO! idk what to do, anyway i could convince my mom about pierced ears or somehow do it at home??? thanks i rate (link)
Well, I would suggest keeping up what you are doing and possibly keeping a list of everything you have done. Then show it to your mom. Ask her what her reasons are exactly? Maybe she had a bad experience?

You could do some research and find out more about it. The risks involved, how you can stop those risks and a list of trusted people where you live.

I really don't think you should do it yourself. Not only would it be very painful (it is painful with the piercing gun, but after the inital pain, it is all over) you could could get halfway through and find it too painful to carry on. It could so easily go wrong or get infected.

I personally would just keep asking. Show my Mum what I had found out about it. Ask her her reasons and explain yours. Ask her friends, who have let their own children have it done to put in a good word for you.

Good luck!


16/f Ever since I started highschool, things changed with friends. My friends were disloyal, saying things about me, and just hurt my feelings in every way they could think of.

I was very close with this one girl, Chelsea. She was my best friend, we did EVERYTHING together. We were like sisters. Well, something happened that I don't want to get into and she and I are no longer friends. Along with losing her as my friend, everyone that was friends with her and me at the time turned on me.

I do have FRIENDS, but I want to have close friends. I was always the kind of person that people could count on, a shoulder to cry on. Most people took advantage of that and I sort of turned into someone they could walk all over. I started becoming more asertive and I guess I started pushing people away. I'm litterly to the point where I have NO friends in my school.

I only have one best friend, Amanda but she doesn't go to the same school as me. And, I have my boyfriend. But he doesn't go to the same school as me either. And I think to myself, what if I end up losing both of them? I'll really have no one I can count on.

I just want to leave my school, go to a new school and start from scratch. Where no one knows me.

My question is, how do I get out there, and try to make friends? I want a friend that I can have sleepovers with, come to with my problems.. Someone I can really TRUST. And how do I change so that I'm not as asertive towards people? (link)
Are there any clubs you could join in the school? If not in the school, where you live. Your local library will normally have lists of clubs you can join. I don't know your interests, but there are sports clubs, cooking, crafts, reading groups. So many things you could join up to!

I don't know what the law in where you are, but you could get a little Saturday job, where you will meet new people.

There may be something on the internet you can join to meet people in your area? A local chat room or message board? (But be careful meeting people you don't know.)

I admire you for being yourself! If they don't like you not being a doormat, I don't think they were truly your friends in the first place. You made the right choice and I wish you luck in meeting new people!


my sister is 10 and she's had sex so many times that she lost count and each time was with a different guy. i'm jealous cuz i've only had a boyfriend when i was in 6th grade and we never even thought of doing anything. my sister is really my step sister and she lives with my step mother and my dad. my step mother doesn't care what she does and my dad is just clueless. my sis is so young she didn't even know what virgin meant. i think she's going to end up pregnant as soon as she gets her period and i want her to stop having sex. how?

You shouldn't feel jealous. It is perfectly normal for teenagers not to have boyfriends, as much as the media likes to make out that every teenager has one. Wouldn't it be better to find someone you truly like and who likes you back, no matter what age, than just go out with anyone for the sake of it?

I really think you should talk to her or get her to talk to someone else. Ten year olds just don't have the mentality to deal with the complexities of a relationship. She's going to end up looking back at this with much regret. Sex is probably entirely meaningless to her at this point, it is probably just something to do.

I'd also like to point out you can get pregnant before your period, as this hospital website points out:

http://www.addenbrookes.org.uk/shac/advice/when_preg.html The youngest known mother was five years old.

There isn't really a flawless way of getting her to stop doing it. I would personally try and talk to her, point out the risks involved, pregnancy or STD's. Do you know who she is sleeping with? People her own age or older?

Or you could get someone you trust to. I realise her parents may not. How about your mother? Another sibling or family member?

Good luck.
