I have a terrible friend who thinks shes cool and hates me and my friends. She always hangs out with us and then talks about us behind our backs to US! I got into a fight with her(because Im the only one who will stand up for myself) and I hate having people hate me so i appologized and she just forgave me like that! (She said "I forgive you, HUG!") It bothers me and now were back to her using me and my friends and she thinks shes popular. What should I do?

Obviously, she's not really your friend. She's using you so just stop talking to her nd just stop hanging with her. You have other friends who have a cool towards you so just leave her alone.

I didn't know what to put this under because it's a pretty strange question.
How can you hide a lip piercing? I'm getting my lip pierced off center to the left but my step dad can't know I have it. My mom will let me but if my step dad finds out then I have to tell my dad and my dad will make me take ALL of my piercings out.

You can't! Just take it out when your dad is home!

Hi, I'm doing a project on the Santa Fe trail and the other day my teacher told me that I should include Christopher "Kit" Carson. And I was looking online but I didn't really find any on him that had to do with the Santa Fe Trail. So could someone please give me a site or tell me what Kit Carson had to do witht he Santa Fe Trail.

--Thanks

This is long...sorry...but if you read this and answer I promise to rate you a 5 and I will be so greatful! thanks in advance for reading this. I have this friend named nicole (fake name) and she has been my best friend for about 2 years. She gets really annoying and is pretty stupid, and my family doesn't like her very much. She doesn't have a lot of money and her parents are completely uninvolved in her life. My parents do everything for her and we get nothing in return. She never really does anything to show she appreciates it and I really don't like that and neither does my family. So recently she's been pretty rude to me. She ditched me twice. At lunch I sit with nicole and kelly (fake also) and 3 other girls who im kinda barely friends with but mostly I only talk to nicole and kelly. well kelly is "popular" all of a sudden to nicole but no one really likes her...and no one really likes nicole because she's so annoying. I know nicole doesn't care about popularity because if she did she wouldn't be so weird and act so nerdy. We're not popular but we're not geeks, I guess we are known as just normal group, except to the geeks we are known as popluar, so i've heard. Well nicole has just been obsessed with kelly and she blows me off or is too busy to hang out with me but not kelly. I have many friends in school, like a ton, but I usually only hang out with friends once every week or maybe even less then that. I only really hang out with nicole. But shes always so busy and always grounded so I kind of have no friends outside of school. I make an effort to hang out with other girls I know at my school but it never really works out, not that they don't like me just our plans don't really follow through. Sorry I'm writing a lot but I wanted you all to understand the background of my question. So here it is...Today nicole got mad at me and I had no idea why and so her and kelly totally ditched me at lunch and sat with someone else and I asked kelly is she mad at me she said no there was no room at the table...when there were plenty. I am so mad at nicole I seriously was about to punch her because suspension was worth punching her. She totally takes advantage of me and I keep going back to be her friend. My parents and bother think I should stop being her friend and there a feeling in me that I want to but then there's also a feeling that's not willing to give her up. The main reason I don't stop being her friend is if I do then kelly wont be my friend and I'll have no one to sit with at lunch and no one to talk to during class because most people in all my classes are popular or totally nerdy and all that stuff. But today seemed like the last straw and I don't want to be her friend but I'm afraid of what will happen. I'm hoping once I start high school I'll make new friends and totally ditch her for good, but thats about 6 months away and I don't want to go with nobody to hang out with during summer if I stop being her friend. I really love her and shes so funny and fun to be around. If I didn't love her, I would hate her and think she is the stupidest person ever, and I would never consider being her friend, if you know what I mean. I love that she doesn't care what others think, but sometimes I hate it because she is truly embarassng and since not a lot of people like her, I think that's why nobody ever calls me to hang out because they probably think I'm just like her. Basically I want to know all of your opinions about what I should do. Stay her friend, ditch her, wait a little longer, etc? Please help I have no idea what to do!!! I will rate you 5 if you answer no matter if I like your answer or not, just because you read all this. By the way, im 14 female. thanks so much!

If i were you I would tell Nicole how I feel and if she continues to blow me off while knowing how I feel about this, I would think she doesn't really care about me. She's obviously gotten past me and that I need to get past her. I'm pretty sure that if you tried just a little bit harder then you trying now, you could find some cool down-to-earth friends.

My daughter has just turned 12 and for the past 3 yrs she has been nagging me to get her an agent. She has done drama for 3 yrs & dancing for 5 yrs. Even though she is talented while performing she is an extremely sensitive child. I have spent years trying to build up her self esteem & I don't want to throw it away with the rejections you recieve in the cruel world of showbiz. She cries at night & tells me that this is her dream & she feels that this is what she is meant to do. I'm confused as to what to do. Do I let her try this or protect her from an industry that is renowned for it's competitive nature.

Honestly, if your daughter is so sensitive that she cries because she doesn't have an agent, then imagine how emotionally unstable she'll become after repeated rejection. Not to say that she won't or can't make it in the entertainment world but just to say that's it's really difficult to make it and everyone has gotten rejected one or twice before making it big. And even after making it big people are still rejected and even become B-List. I think that you should wait it out. I wouldn't get her an agent at all at this age. I would let her decide what she wanted to do once she was about 16 or 17. Her aspect onlife and what she wants to do could change drastically. Tell her if she is really meant to do it, it will still happen even if she doesn't get an agent until she's older.

Hey. This is probably the wrong catagory... sorry. Ok when i was younger i was in an abusive relationship (VERY VERY YOUNG) ((like kid young)) so anyways i grew up kinda withdrawn and alone... i have a very close circle of friends now and a great boyfriend. We've been together for 10 months and i love him so much. Thing is, im a psycho. Honestly. I hear voices in my head and their shouting, always shouting... i can hardly understand them and i have to yell out to make them stop. Im one of the people you see walking down the street alone talking to themselves. I scream out loud randomly for what seems like no apparent reason. I used to be scared of commitment. I used to go out with people, get through all the hard stages, get through the awkwardness, the sex... and breakup with them. Just as they were starting to like me... I couldnt help it. The guy im with now, i actually love. Ive been holding up this barrier of defense so i couldnt get hurt for so long and now its down and i am SO SCARED!! im all vunerable now. He can hurt me. He says he loves me all the time, but i get paranoid and sometimes i get so jealous and i think i annoy him but he puts up with it cuz he loves me. He says he wants to stay with me forever and get married and have kids. But i think im gunna drive him crazy. How can he love me? Im a wreck! Please help. Soon. X (im 15 and female, my boyfriend is 17 and MALE. Lol)

If he truly loves you he will be there for you through thick and thin. The thick part might have to be going to a pyschiatrist who can hopefully help you get rid of these voices and be able to be that perfect girlfriend you've always wanted be.

its gotten tot he point where I feel so low about myself I could crawl into my bed and never come out. I want to be with someone that makes me feel special.. Why cant i find that guy?

Ive never had a bf treat me good and for a long time now i havent had a bf.

Im a normal girl and I know im not realllly ugly.. I actualy sometimes think im pretty..

I have talents and yes I have flaws. But i think id be a really good girlfriend.

what can I do?

Right now, I'm kind of wondering if I wrote that question because I was just telling a friend last night that I felt that way. I'm sorry you feel that. I'm sorry I feel that way. I can't really help you because I cna't really help me but on the upside. Me and said friend are going boyfriend hunting Monday after school. You should too!

i'll make this short and simple.

16f never been kissed (i know pathetic loser)
likes boy
wants to make first move
but scared of being rejected
what if i mess up? what if he moves his head away? i have braces will it be harder to kiss? should i eat chocolate before hand so i taste good?

please help a sista out. i'll give you 5's.

i'll make this short and simple.

you're not a pathetic loser!at least ur not a slut!
boy probably likes you too
make first move before some other girl does
be confident, rejection is not as bad as it looks
you can't mess up! he won't move his head away unless you smell like garlic or something? no! braces don't make it harder to kiss?
no chocolate! perfume to make you smell good.?

I feel really moronic asking this because it's stupid and one of those annoying Valentine's Day questions, but it would be really nice if someone could try to help. I'm 13 in the 7th grade and I've really liked this guy named Will for a long time. He's not quite a best friend, but a friend nevertheless. I was wondering whether on Valentine's Day it would be stodgy to send him a carnation (the school is selling carnations on Valentine's Day to donate money to child prostitutes in India) anonymously? I don't think he would laugh because he's a pretty romantic and sensitive guy himself. What do you think?

Yea I think you should send him one! If you wanna be bold about it you could write on a note (you get to send notes with the flowers right?) and the note can say that you like him. When he talks to you about it, if he sounds interested tell him that you like him. If he sounds wierded out about it then say you were joking around and say that he's so gullible to play it off!

me and my best friend...well shes a girl...when we first became friends i liked her..and she liked me...we talked for a long time...but we she wouldnt date me i didnt kno why...i mean we had the best chemistry and everything it was almost perfect...well wen i did get enough courage to ask her out..she said no..and i was like wut...well she told my other friend...a guy..that it was bcuz i was black..well shes mexican..and that she doesnt think she could do that...she really cares wut other people think about her...well now we blew that off we neva dated...we juss stayed really good friends..but behind the curtain...we were preety much two love birds...now i still hav feelins for her and she has a boyfriend...i get the most jealous feelings...its crazi...theyyve been datin for 2 months now..and she told me today..and like i tryed to start a new subject..and she gets mad and tells me that i dont care..well my question is..i kno this is serious long...well ive told her that i dont like her no more..and she believes me..well the question is...wut should i do..tell her i still hav feelings for her..and tell her i dont care wut otha people think..i love you and you should b mine...or jus ignore my feelings and like another girl??

I understand why you're upset. Why would she think you'd wanna talk about her boyfriend with you when she knows you like/liked her? That was kind of silly. I think you should tell her that you really like her (don't use love, that might scare her!!) And also, why does she think that anyone would start hatin' on her because she was dating a black guy. It's not the 1800's anymore! I think you should tell her how you feel and see what happens.

So.. I have this boyfriend who is absoultly amazing. He makes me laugh everytime I talk to him and we barly ever fight or have problems.. We're a lot alike and neither of us usualy have long relationships but we both really like eachother and think it'll last a long time. But for some reason i'm constintly thinking about things that could go wrong and I'm always thinking about breaking up with him. My friends say its because I have him but once I break up with him i'll want him back which is most likely true.. but I shouldnt really be feeling like this should I? What should i do about it?

I think you're friendss are right and even that you are afraid that you might lose him so psychologically you're making yourself comfortable with the thought of breaking up just in case you do break up. So like if you broke up now it wouldn't be so devastating. Don't worry. Lot's of people do it.

Ok.
So I have a best guy friend.
And we have always liked each other on and off, but lately we have been hanging out much more than usual. I think he is starting to like me again, I dont' want him to because things are going so well as best friends, and I like this other guy who likes me too. I don't know what to do. I am going over to his house tonight to watch a movie and I wish we could just be friends. I still want to hang out with him, and I don't really want to stop just because he likes me more than a friend. What should I do?

Well honestly, things are never gonna change unless you two actually talk about. But then again, you don't want to cut him off or make him upset because he's your friend and also becuase you might like him again. What I would do it just try to keep everything with the friendship very casual. Don't send mixed messages. Like if you are a really touchy person, don't like hold his hand during the scary parts of the movie or anything like that. He may think you want him the way he wants you.

I really like this guy and he told my friend he thinks im cute and he knows that i think hes cute yet he still hasnt said more than 10 words to me. My friend takled to him about me and he acted ike he really liked me because we have alot in common but now he jus stares at me and smiles but he wont say anything and thats whats confusing me so much! HELP!!!

Well since he oviously likes you, you should take the initiative to talk to him first. Ask him out or for his digits. He's probably just to shy to ask! I'm pretty sure he won't reject you either.

omg im like going to die i borrowed a friends pair of light jeans last week and i have my period and i leaked throu on them and i put peeroxide on it and put it in the dryer and ran them through cold water and it didnt come out please how do you get period stains out!!?!?!? i need help fast shes going to be here in like and hour

Ok first of all, what you need to do is tell her that you spilled raspberry juice on the and that you sent them to the cleaners. That should buy you about 2-3 days to get the stain out for real.A quick easy way is to wash it with shampoo. Any shampoo should do the trick but if it doesn't you have to try somethinga little more drastic! This will work for sure.First, grab the needed supplies:a wetspong with soap, hairspray and two paper towels.Dab the stain with a clean wet sponge to get as much of the stain out as possible.Allow the stain to air dry. Spray the stain with hair spray. Alot of hairspray!! Sandwich the stained fabric between two paper towels.Blot the backside of the jeans while working the stain into the other paper towel until stain is lifted. Apply laundry pre-treatment or stain remover and then wash and air dry! I hope I helped!!!! I hope it all goes good too!

im not sure what to put this under as a category but heres how the story goes:

im 15/f. ive been going to the same school since i was seven. its an all girls school, and most of my guy friends go to all guy schools. well, anyways, the thing is that after school i do ballet... but it is WAY to early. it starts at like four thirty and thats just to early for me. i have things to take care of after school!

well, anyways, the all guy schools have chearleaders, but all the chearleaders go to this other all girls school. thers only two girls schools and two guy schools where i live =), but the reason that they dont allow the girls from my school to try out for chearleading for those schools is because we dont have a chearleading team...... and ive always wanted to become a chearleader!!!! and its also because i get to meet more guys when i get out of school (aka prison) instead of doing ballet, where its another group of all girls! so, i have moved the ballet classes to the adult classes only because it was a better scheduale for me......


but..... the reason we dont have a chearleading team is because the headmistress of our school doesn't believe in it or something because she thinks that girls are showing their underwear... i dont know its really really stupid. but, thats what she says. maybe if i wrote her a letter or something, she would consider it, i mean we are like the only school in this city that does not have a chearleading team, and some people, like me, really, really want to do it!!!! what could i write to her to make her change her mind.... and you know, not sound disrespectful to her or anything, u noe, not make her mad. heehee.... thank you very much for reading this. thanking u in advance for your help!

I know how you're feeling because I went to an all girls high school for one year and the headmistress was really uptight, too. You can write her a letter but I doubt it will do any good. I'm guessing that your school is religious and that your headmistress' decision to exclude cheerleading is based on religion and morals so my guess is, unless she resigns, you're not gonna get to be a cheerleader for your school. BUT if you really are determined, you could explain the whole situation to the coach of another school and maybe she'll hear your cry and come to your rescue by letting you join her squad!

I've been dating this guy for two and a half weeks. We've been close friends for a year before he asked me out. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to give him for Valentine's, but I need advice.

I'm planning on painting a guitar pic (since he plays guitar) and I'm going to paint on it "Happy Valentine's Day" and have a cool design on it. I was thinking of baking him cookies and putting them in his locker. Then last but not least, I want to get him Fall Out Boy concert tickets sicne we both love them. The tics are about twenty something dollars, and I was wondering...too much for a relationship this short? give me your opinion. if you ahve any other ideas, alterations, or suggestions they are appreciated!

YES! That's way too much for a realtionship that short. And since you mentioned lockers, I think you're way to young to be putting so much into a Valentine's Day present. It's not like your married. The tickets are fine but that should be it. Tickets and a little kiss. That's good enough.

okay i am 13 years old...adn there is this guy that i really like and he likes me. the only thing is that hes 2 years older then me...to me it doesnt seem bad or anything but to everyone else it does. everyone keeps telling my that he does drugs and stuff but whne i ask him he says no. and people are telling my that he only wants to go out with me to make out and have oral sex. when i asked him about this hes like i would never make u do anything that you didn't want to. and i said good b.c i would never give you oral sex. and he said fine...
should i go out with him???

please help...thanxx

First of all, I think that the two year age diffrence is fine. Second of all, I definitely think you should give it a tyr but also be on guard. If tries anyting with you then you should immediately remind him that that's not what you signed on for. He seems pretty genuine to me because all the guys I know would have said "Nevermind!" after you said you wouldn't give him oral so maybe you should give him a try but don't be nieve about it!
