Q: One of my closest friends just found out that a friend has been killed in a car crash, I was wondering if theres anything I can do or say to make her feel better about this.

You have to ask if they want to talk. Maybe they want to talk about it, maybe they don't. And they might just want you to listen to them, without commenting. Also, if you ask if they want to talk, they'll at least know you care.

Q: ok, see, there's this guy at my school that I like ALOT for a LONG time. I know this is kinda a typical question, sorry, but, how do I find out if he likes me as much as I like him? And what do I do to get us talking? I never talk to him, but I see him in the halls everyday and we always glance at each other, but we're both too shy to say anything. I don't know what to do, because I never talk to him, so I don't wanna make a fool of myself by just all of the sudden talking to him out of the blue, you know what I mean? Anyway, srry so long!!! Please help me though!!!
Thanks a lot=)

If you like him as much as you say, you should know the type of stuff he likes. So just casually talk to him when he's got nothing else to do. Don't just ask a 'yes or no' question because once he answers, he probably won't elaborate. Try to find something you have in common and let him get to know you better. Be patient and wait to ask if he likes you. Things like this take time. Good luck; hope I helped! By the way, I've been in your shoes before! It isn't exactly much fun.

Q: ok, well i'm an 8th grade girl and i really like this 7th grade guy, and he asked me out and i said yes, but i'm wondering if that's weird or not.. idk, i'm just confused, please help me!

I don't really think one year matters. And it's fine for a girl to be older than her boyfriend. My friend, Holly, went out with a 6th grader and she's in 8th grade. As long as you like each other, it shouldn't matter. Good luck; I hope I helped!

Q: i like this guy and he is like so cute!!!! what do i do? also what do i say if he doesnt like me!!

from ?????

Well, Why do you like him? Try complimenting him on his good qualities. Get to know him and let him get to know you. Don't expect love at first sight. Be patient and wait to ask him out. Maybe he'll even ask you! Good luck! Hope I helped.

Q: every time i shave my legs, its like they dont shave. il go over them with a new blade and still when i feel them, theres like..stubble, when its like the second i get done after shaving! i tried altering the pressure i put when im pressing down and gliding teh blade but that doesnt seem to help either. i use shaving cream and ive tried many different kinds, and ive also tried baby oil, water (alone), and body wash and it still seems like my legs arent...Shaved! and then i end up getting razor burn anyways!! does anyone have any ideas what this is and why?!

If you can't shave your legs, what other ways can you get rid of the hair? Maybe you can use Nair or something like that if razors don't work. You could also try using an electric razor. Also, Don't expect your legs to be perfectly smooth. I hope I was helpful! Good luck! Please rate; I'm new!

Q: Okay there is this guy named Justin which I am going out with him. And there is this other guy that I like named Michael. Well, Michael doesn't like me, only as a friend. But I am going out with Justin and he likes me alot but i don't like him. Should I stay together with Justin(even though I don't like him) or should I brake up to try and get togehter with Michael(even though he doesn't like me ?).

The bottom line is, you shouldn't be with someone if you like them. Have you given Justin a fair chance? I once went on a... I guess you could say it was a blind date. I hated the boy I was paired with and I had a different crush. But after a while I really liked my date. Now we're boyfriend & girlfriend and my crush is history. So give Justin a fair chance. If you still don't like him, don't stay with him. I hope I helped you somehow! Good luck! Please rate; I'm new!

Q: latley ive been feeling like i cant seem to please ne one. Which shouldnt be a problem, but thats in my personality,to please people. I try todo the right things, and make everyone happy, but then im not happy, so i do wat i want every once n a while, and then everyone gets mad.N ive never had to try to get people to care about me, or get guys, people were always just there for me, and i awlays seemed to have a guy, until about a month ago..erg...wat am i doing wrong??

I'm the same way! I always keep my grades up and behave myself and in general, I do things to please people. But you can't just hide who you are to make other people happy. Follow your own heart. People may not always like you for it, but I'd rather like myself than be liked by everyone else. I'm around me 24/7. They aren't! I hope I helped you! Please rate; I'm new!
