about

I am seventeen, but do not let the age fool you. I feel I am more experienced than the average seventeen year old. If you want the honest truth for your questions, ask me. I will definitely not hold back.

advice

I asked this friend of mine to the girl's choice dance. I asked him if he was going, and he said he didn't know, so I said "you don't have a date then?" and he said no, so I said "do you want to go with me?" and he said "I'll see." what does that mean? I could understand if he said "I have to think about it" but what does "I'll see" mean? do you think he's just keeping his options open?

I think he is an ass. Just ask someone else to go.

(14, Female)
I've been going out with Michael for almost three months. Its crazy, we spend hours talking about absolutley nothing, just laughing at the stupid jokes we can make up. Just seeing him makes my heart pound. During class, I can't stop thinking about until the next time I'll get to see him, which affects my grades unforunatley. When I hug him goodbye, I already miss him. If we just hung up on the phone, I get sad like I haven't seen him in months. Sometimes, my mind just races about thoughts of him, and I absolutley dread the weekends when I can't see him.

Why is this? How can I get my life somewhat back to normal?

Try to remember who you were before you met this "wonderful" boy. also remember how young you are, how many guys are in the world, and how much you have going for you...without the boy attached. Do not let a guy determine who you are, and what you do!

I go to school with this boy that i like. he told my best friend he liked me too and that he was going to ask me out... now today he told her he liked someone more, and he didnt know if he was going to ask me out... what is he thinking. do i wait around for him or try with someone else?????

please help me!!!!!!!

Please take this advice with you throughout your life...NEVER wait on anyone. You're better than that. Be independent, you do not need a boy to make you complete anyways.

Tell your mom you're going no matter what she says and run out of the house with a wild, maniacal grin on your face, cackling loudly:)

OK this is the hardest thing i have ever been through.. :( and i have never felt this way about someone before..we have been through so much and shared so many good memories..well the story goes like this...
A girl comes out of nowhere and starts flirting with my bf of 9 months on myspace. They wind up hanging out at a football game with friends and he tells me he has some feelings for her. This was heartbreaking. However..i wanted to work it out with him so when he suggested 'open relationship' as in he dates her(not go out) and maybe kisses/hugs her and i agreed to this and to still be with him. I decided it wasnt fair to me..because we had 9 months..i dont desserve this and it hurts..so i break up with him..He says he loves me and sees a future with me as in marriage..that it wont get serious with the new girl but how am i supposed to know? (i mean he might go out with her he says..what do i do then?)They are hanging out more..they call each other..shes driving me nuts with her shoutouts to him and comments..and hes putting her shoutout in his info..its just too much and it breaks my heart. I dont know what to do..isolate myself from him..like not talk to him or hang out or anything so he makes a choice? (like if hes away from me maybe he will miss me..or maybe he will decide he wants her) Or do i be his friend? do i kiss him still and cuddle? i really want to..but this is very hard for me. Hes a sweetheart though. he told me everything..he was honest about her..and we made an agreement that he tells me everything and he has. they were talking together by the lake..they might go to the movies tomorro..i flip flop back and forth though..be his friend and hang out/talk/cuddle/kiss him...but sometimes i feel so sad and hurt i feel like i should back away completely. what do i do? is this worth the wait?

Do NOT, i repeat DO NOT give him the satisfaction of you being there no matter what. He is blatantly disrespecting you, and you are allowing it. What you need to do is get over this jerk, and move on. You are worth more than that. would you let someone spit in your face, and continue to do so? NO! don't let this guy do this to you...

My friend lou's haloween party was a blast and i made out with this boy i never though i would get the chance to talk to and that i thought was cute during spin the bottle. everyone of course at school found out and for the past 2 days my friend jasmina and mensur make fun of me about it in art where him and his other friend are! its REALLY funny but embarassing. they asked him questions like did you like it? was she good? would you go out with her? do you like her! and he answeres yes/yeah!/mhhmm to all of them! we even exchanged Numbers and he has my s/n (i THINK)but i barely talk to him and i dont really kno him but hes SOO cute but he doesn't do ANYTHING about it. WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM why doesnt he put in the effort to talk to me some more! should i talk to him on AIM? HELP should i go for it myself and if so waht do i do? or ditch this kid who won't make a move?

thanks majorly!

Ha, he isn't making a move because he is a scared, immature young boy. It will take a while for the mankind around your age to get over their stupidity..then you won't be able to stop them from "making moves." Enjoy the awkwardness while it lasts, because soon they will be pulling all kinds of moves on you.

So I've been going out with this guy for a little over than a month. We're almost sixteen, and i really like him. To give you some background info about him, hes so shy, it took a month for him to just hold my hand or give me a hug. (ya i know. and no, hes not gay haha) Anyway, Im having this birthday party in a couple of weeks, and when i asked him if he was busy on a certain date, he was like "ya, im going to my grandmothers" so then i was like alright, ill just change it around, to friday. then he was like "well its ok, its not that important if i dont go" and altho im not sure how to interpret that, it hurt my feelings. i assume he meant that he didnt want me to change the whole party just for him, but i dont know. i mean i really want him to be there, doesnt he feel the same? also, he doesnt really call me, but we do hang out sometimes. And one other thing, he has never dumped a girl. He once stayed with a girl for like 6 months, but didnt like her the last 3 months, because he didnt kno how to dump her/is scared of "a girl starting to cry". whatever that is.

So basically, do u think he still likes me? And what should i do? Im really worried he wouldnt dump me if he stopped liking me. And I dont want to dump him, cause I still like him. Ugh, tell me what this silly boy is thinking!

No, I don't think he still likes you. It is easier for someone on the outside to see that. Dump him because obviously he is doing things that are making you unhappy. Don't put up with that stupid shit.

Don't be a snitch. If anyone is not going to be harmed by you keeping quiet, the best thing to do is keep a secret. Secretkeepers are rare, and for that reason they are treasured friends.

I'm a freshman in highschool, and I've started hearing more and more about people drinking, smoking, doing drugs, etc. I don't know if it's just my school, or if it's normal... but it seems like if you don't drink, people are like, "OMG?! YOU DON'T DRINK?!" Is it like that elsewhere? Or is it just my school? Because I'm hearing a lot about it now. Also, why do so many people do these things to themselves? What to they get out of it? A hangover? They like that? Can't they have fun without getting drunk or high? I don't get it. Sorry so many questions, thanks in advance.

Get used to it, ya big baby. People are going to talk about things like that in high school? What do you expect? The high school to be edited for your virginal ears? You're just going to have to deal with it. You're going to be very disliked if you judge people about it and look down on them for it. You do not have to participate in what they do, but you also do not have the right to condemn them.

I'm a senior. In all my four years at my high school, I never fell asleep in my classes. Except this year: Physics. I need some serious help because I hate falling asleep, but I just can't help it.

I used to think it was due to a lack of sleep, but it's not. I don't fall asleep in any other classes; I can't stay up no matter how hard I try to take notes and pay attention. The teachers a nice guy, but not exactly the best educator. I really like school, and was looking forward to physics because I find it interesting. I'm starting to lose that, any advice? Thanks.

Oh my gosh, the first reply said to try a "pooptart"..hope that was a typo:)... I wouldn't go that far..but you could take ritalin..just kidding..i don't know, this was a moronic question.

Ever since I was little my family hasnt celebrated Halloween because its an "Evil holiday" is that true? Where in the Bible does it say that? I feel like im missing out on Halloween. Ive only went trick or treeting like 5 times, and im getting old

No, Halloween is not an evil holiday. Ask your parents if Christmas is evil because Santa has to break and enter to get into your house..Maybe they'll shut up. Religion can be taken to an extreme, and then it is not religion..it is obsession. Remember that your beliefs do not have to match those of your parents. Do you honestly think Halloween is "evil?" You do not have to ask anyone else. Ask yourself.

I haven't had period in a while and im not pregnant so I don't know what is going on!

This is normal for you to be so young and for your period to be abnormal. If you are really worried, you should tell a parent or someone you trust and go to the doctor. More than likely, though, the doctor will tell you that abnormal periods are somewhat normal for someone your age. You should not worry.

Okay, so there is this guy who i have gone out with unofficially about four times (video games and movies at his house and cooked him dinner at my house and drank with him and his friends at their house) and on one date with him(movie). He is an ex-coworker. He is not my type and i am way cuter than him but i decided to give him a chance, i have been lonely lately. Well, yesterday we went out I gave him a blow job and he came after like two minutes :( and that was it. NO ME. OH, and a few days before i told him he can be my mr. right now (didn't tell him this but it is because he is not my type at all). Now I want more, i like him. He is like no other, but he won't answer my phone calls today. So initially i was trying to manipulate him i guess, now is he trying to get back at me? I don't want to play games anymore, how do I get his heart? Or after what I did do you think it is impossible? It is so not like me to do that so soon into things, but I did. And now what do I do? I need some guy opinions here, please....

Well, I think like a guy so here is an answer. You are manipulative and you deserve whatever you get. Own up to it. Have you ever heard of karma?...

I was always against abortion. I am 16 years old and pregnant. I have a boyfriend for 5 monghs now and we never had sex. The problem is that on a night out with a friend of mine "girl" I got raped. Somebody must have sleeped me that ruffy cause I do not remember anything and woke up the next day feeling like my head is going to explode. That happen over 45 days ago.
My parents now, we told them its my boyfriends and it is my fault cuase my parents have been through a lot and I really dont want them to know. I consider myself mature enough to battle with my own problems and mistakes. I consider it to be my fault since I was not carefull enough. Plus, them knowing would change a lot.
I definately do not want to keep that baby, I definately am not ready to become a mother especially on such an occasion and already too many people know. My parents want me to keep it even though we are not wealthy at all.
I know that after 3 months you can now longer have an abortion so I am running out of time. How do I convince my parents to let me do it? And...if they dont allow me to, I ll do it myself. What could change then? How will I be able to make them, accept my choice. My boyfriend has been really understanding with the hole situation and really helpfull. He is the one willing to give the money for such an...act.
I am ready to do anything it takes not to have that baby, If I have to punch myself in the stomach, I ll do it.
People from my church also know. They will never take me back after such a thing. My boyfriend sais he could move far away with me were we will work and go to school at the same time.

Honestly, you need to get over your selfishness and realize that this child's life is not your own. The right is NOT yours to take that precious child's life that is at this moment, as I write to you, developing into a REAL breathing human being that will have feelings, a personality all their own, and a mother that this child will love. Ask yourself if you can live with the decision of killing your first child. Possibly you are killing one of the great politicians of the future, or a future soldier, or a future shaper of minds. No one's life but your own is yours to take. Your immaturity and your selfishness is showing. Grow up and face the consequences of what has happened to you. It isn't your fault that you got raped, but it is also not your child's fault. You need to understand that.

omg my boyfriend of 9 months broke up with me 3 days ago and i cant eat and i cant freakin sleep!! and everytime I think of him I get nautious(sp) Im home sick today so I dont see him and I cant cry infront of him but I was about to yesterday!! so I have two questions!!

1) HOW CAN I GET OVER HIM!?
2) HOW CAN I MAKE HIM WANT ME BACK?! (without going out with another guy!)

PLEASE HELP ME!

You get over him by growing up and realizing that life does not always go the way you want it to. Please understand that he is only one guy..not everything. Also, don't worry about getting him back.. it makes you look desperate. Move on and find somebody that wants to be with you just as much as you want them...or you will never be happy..Honestly girls are so naive..just get over it...breakups will happen and you're going to have to deal with that. As soon as you start living in reality, you can begin to be a stronger person and know that this one guy is not going to ruin your life. That is not his right, You have ONE life...don't waste it worrying about a guy that doesn't want you.

Ok, i'm a 18/f.

One of my guy friends and I recently excelled to the "friends with benefits" stage in our relationship. In the past week or three we've been inseperable, always flirting and kissing and such. Well tomorrow night he's coming over and we're talking about taking this a step further. I'm convinced we're ready, we have protection, and we've had a 2-hour conversation about it and the possible consequences. We're mentally and physicaly healthy and we both believe we're ready.

That aside, I am a virgin. What should I do to make this experience more enjoyable for the both of us. Will this hurt? Should I take special care of anything? Basically, what should I do to prepare for this?

Any tips or advice will be really appreciated.
-***-

It really will not hurt all that much. You may experience some burning, but it probably won't be that bad. Honestly put the preparation aside. Go with the flow, and whatever is meant to happen will happen. Relax and enjoy it and do not overthink it.

Iam 17 years old and iam not autistic but there's this boy at school who has the milder form of autisim i don't know what it is called i just know it's a milder form of it.my friends and I get so aggervated with him becouse he constantly repeats things over and over even though i know he can't help it i get so annoyed i start screaming at the poor boy.I even get mad at him if he stares at me for know reason even though i know it's probally becouse of his autisim and he can't help it.I don't talk to him about it I just start screaming at him like iam crazy or something and i know iam being a bitch to him right now and i feel terrible and I cry myself to sleep at night thinking about just all the terrible things i say by screaming at him i just feel so horrible and feel like such a bitch right now I just want to try to change and be nicer to him or at least stop screaming at him sometimes i even think about slapping him,but i just say to myself remember Rachel he can't help it he's autistic and that keeps me from slapping him if i feel this bad i can just imagine how he feels at night.I feel so bad about the way I treat chad that yesterday i really thought about committing suicide so I couldn't treat chad that way anymore so he wouldn't have to have a horrible day at school every single day please help me change.......

What you have to understand is that you have to change yourself.. It's sounds really dumb of you for you to cry about something that you yourself are inflicting upon someone else. How do you think he feels? He is the one that gets screamed at but all you can do is think about yourself. The one thing that you can do to help is get over your selfishness and learn compassion for others. Only then can you even begin to understand what another person is feeling. You are not the only one with problems and the only one that has bad times..Try to put yourself in another person's shoes once in a while, and as for your suicidal thoughts..you can completely change yourself..the power is in yourself..stop causing pain for others ,and slowly yours will go away and your life will be happier. Instead of being ashamed, think of how good it would feel to be proud of the way you treated someone with a disability like that.
