What's up? Well, I'm sure like each and every other advice columnist is that, we all enjoy giving advice . I like to keep things real and you'll find out how real when you ask me a question . I absolutely love helping people . Hollah at me sometimes !!! Oh, and yahoo me . Goodness sakes knows that I could do with the mail.

advice

i have this ex that i reallly still like and while we were goin together we always argued. and we broke up for some crazy reason bc i had him really upset and he still loves me i kno he does but he had my friend over his house. he said he didnt do anything but in some way i think he did or was going to. i trust both of them and they went behind my back. now he doesnt talk to me as much as he used to and i kept tryin to explain to him i wanted to be back with him but he kept makin up excuses for why he didnt want to be with me, one reason was he had track season and he blames it on me not trusting him and he has to worry about track season and other reasons. i really wanna be back with him and i wanna make things work i jus dont kno wat to do. wat should i do?

I know that you really like this guy . You're being too considerate and he's being a total ass to you. You care for him, but it doesn't mean that you have to indure his ridiculous insults . You don't want anyone who does things like that to you . You seem very considerate and thoughtful . Be thoughful towards this advice . The advice is to , get over him . He doesn't know your worth . If he makes up false excuses who cares . I mean you're a teenager, like I am, and we don't stay stuck on guys too long . So now that you've got this advice, what're you going to do . It's up to you . Wait and be the door mat , or move on . I'm sorry if I offended you, but it really sounds like this guy doesn't deserve you .Have a nice day . Sorry if answer is long .

well i broke up with my boyfriend in may and now i go to the same school with him and he still wants to be with me i dont even want to be friends with him and now he has a classes next to my locker and i see him everyday i dont want to talk to him and i told him i like another guy and he insists that we should get back together but i told him i dont like him at all and now he doesnt stop bugging me what do i do. or what can i do

You should talk to him at first and get straight to the point . Be nice in the begining of the conversation . Then if he still shows resistance, tell him how you feel harshly . I know you probably don't want to hurt this guys feelings, but you need to tell him how you truely feel . Tell him to get a life and to move on . Tell him it just wasn't meant to be . Then if he doesn't stop, hit him . Hard . Maybe he'll get the message . But don't consort to violence . You should talk to him calmly . Thanx 4 reading this answer, and I truley hope I was some help .

im 16 in high school this year we had a new history teacher.im dislexic and he always picks on me about it and sends me out of every lesson since september.for reasons that are pathetic like asking questions too loudly.on friday he sent me out of the lesson within 3 minutes.i dont know what to do,i like the subject its interesting but im thinking of dropping it because of the teacher.what shall i do?shall i drop it?pleese reply asap

No way . DO NOT DROP THAT CLASS . Do forgive me but you need to talk to your principle/administrator/guidance counselor/parents. Someone . Tell them this :

One of a teachers job is to encourage students to learn, not to discourage them . This teacher has been discouraging me from getting a proper education , and I feel that this isn't right . I feel harrassed and persecuted, and I go to school to recieve neither feeling . I go to school to learn and if this continues, I'm afraid that I'll have to report him to school board .

DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE YOUR VIOCE'CAUSE YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO SPEAK UP . ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES YOUR EDUCATION . SO SPEAK UP .

Ok, well, I got my period on Thursday, Its not the 1st time I got it cuz I have had it since I was 10. The question I have is how long do they usually last? Before, mine were about 7-9 days and this one has only been 3 and it isn’t heavy at all, like im done with it and I usually get really bad cramps and have really heavy flows ad ahad neither. Why is it so light and short this time???


No, im not pregnant and cuz Im still a virgin, im only 13… lol…

I totally understand and I have those same periods as well . Don't you just hate those cramps ? Well, it's probably doing this because you're maturing into a young woman so your period won't always be heavy with cramps . As you grow , your period will change . Some months it'll be heavy and sometimes they won't . I have the same thing going on with me right now , and I totally understand . It's just that you're maturing as a young woman/lady whatever you prefer . I hope I was some help . By and have a nice day .

Im doing an essay, please please help me i rate 5's all around. Can you name points about bush and then points about kerry?? And then things they have in common?

thank you
xoxo

Ooooh, I'd love to have that assignment .

Well points Kerry made were :

(1) That the President and the Bush Administration created the "War Against Terror " on false accusations (accusationa that were that Iraq possessed nuclear weapons and the president acknowledged that his administrative knew that the accusations were false).
(2) That Kerry would unite the nations such as France, Germany , and Russia to make them our allies in this war . He says this because, there's only 4 nations(Britain, U.S., Austrialia, and Poland [the majority U.S. soldiers] )
(3) He was saying that the president and his administration practically allowed North Korea to gain the intelligence and ability to formulate Nuclear Weapons. That the Bush Administrative did nothing to stop this from happening .
Kerry also covers his plan on the war .

Views of Bush :

(1) That Kerry hasn't stuck with one issue . Should there be or not be a war in Iraq . Kerry made this quite clear that he does support the war in Iraq, but not the reasons for why we went to war .
(2) How Iraq had to be dealt with and the president actually blamed 9/11 ON SADDAM HUSSIEN instead of the terrorist network .
Basically Bush didn't have alot of views because, he kept repeating things throughout the night, and that's why I say Kerry won the debate .

I'm so sorry because, this is so long. I hope I was some help . Have a nice day and good luck with your essay .

Well, I've hardly been eating ANYTHING lately. And when I do, it's small doses of like...carrot sticks or something. I've been loosing weight and everything. I don't think I'm fat and all that, I don't even want to be on some stupid diet. I want to eat, but everytime I try, I get sick if I eat too much. Should I see a doctor? Or is this normal for a girl my age?

13.f.

I've never heard of anything like this before, and it can't be anerexia because, you acknowledge that you aren't fat . It could be that your body doesn't agree with the food you intake . Tell your mother and your father (guardians), and if they don't know any cases of illnesses such aas this, then yes you need to go to the doctor . Well good luck and by .

May 17, 2004, ((st. patricks day)) one of my best friends committed suicide. She was 13 years old. She was born on September 11, 1990. Her name was Alyssa, and she was walking to school late and she was walking on the tracks. She heard the train coming and she turned around, put her hood up, and gave the thumbs up sign to the conductor. He couldn't stop the train. Alyssa got hit and died. A month later the investigators claimed it to be suicide, which everyone already knew. She had tried committing suicide a couple weeks before that, but I had to drag her off the tracks by her hair. I had made her go see the school counselor before that and I guess she still wanted to committ suicide. The night before she was hit, she wrote R.I.P Alyssa on her and her boyfriend's bedroom wall. She killed herself for many reasons, but I only know of how her boyfriend was cheating on her and she was in a gang and family problems. She told me there was more though. I tried so hard to convince her that death wasn't the soulution, but she didn't listen. I did everything I could to help her. Anyway, I know it's long but I thought you needed to know the whole story.
So my problem is, I still haven't been able to cope with it. I cry all the time and nobody seems to understand me. I miss her so much. I've already seen numerous counselors but they haven't helped me much. I just want to know if there's any way that I could start the "healing process" or if it'll just take time. I would appreciate all the help. Thank you so much!

Love, RacheL
((xoRachel))


R.I.P Alyssa Gonzalez.. I miss you so much.
9/11/90 - 3/17/04

Rachel, for a starter you were and are a good friend to Alyssa. You probably was her light when she was in the dark , and you probably made her vision easier when it was clouded . Rachel, you need to acknowledge that you were a good friend, and that you aren't responsible for what happened
to Alyssa . You may not feel responsible, but those feelings tend to grow over time . Second of all, don't let anyone tell you that you'll get over this because, the fact is that you'll never get over it . It'll always be there , and it'll fade at times ; the fact is that it'll remain with you for the rest of your time . You need to be content with yourself, and you need to acknowledge anything that you're in doubt about . I know how this feels , but I can't relate to how much pain you're going through .You need to know , that you were there for Alyssa and that you were the best thing that may have ever happened to her . You also need to know, that some people, you just can't save . One day, you will heal but not entirely . There will always be that something in the very pit of your mind questioning . Questioning whether you could've done this or that or, why Alyssa did this or that . The key is to remember life and to value it . It may seem like there's nothing right now to value, but there is . There's something in your life . If you need any extra help, I'm here . I truely hope that I was some help , and try to have a nice day .

Ok, so I'm a fourteen year old girl and to start off with, I have recently broken up with a boyfriend I had for over a year. I loved him very very much, and still do. He says he still loves me as well, but he moved and I never see him so it's too hard to be anything more than friends. Well recently, I've been hanging out with another guy a lot. He and I are both in marching band, so we see each other a whole lot. Well yesterday, we had a band compeition starting at eleven AM, and the bus got to the school at 1:30AM. Well at the compeition we were hanging out a whole lot, and on the bus ride home he started using me as a pillow again(this isn't anything new) and I subconsciously started playing with his hair. All of a sudden, my hand slipped into his and the next thing I know we're holding hands. See, what I'm wondering is, is it okay to be slowly falling in love with this new guy while I still have feelings for my ex? Is it fair to him? Help.

Well, it depends . Are you in love with this new guy ? If you are in love with the new guy, then you are being fair to him . I can see if you're going out with him, but the fact is that you're not going out with him . Don't ignore your feeling that you have for your ex-boyfriend because, that only makes matters worse . I think you know what you want and deep down inside , you feel that it may be too compromising to get . I don't think it's wrong , but if it bothers you, I think you should tell the new guy about your feelings for your ex boyfriend. This guy should understand after being with your ex for a year and if he doesn't forget him . Atleast when you tell him the truth, your conscience will feel alot better . I could evaluate and type so many alternatives for you to go , but the question is WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD DO ? It's all up to you , and I hope I was some help . By . Have a nice day .

I know I wasn't major help but you said " soon" and this is the most un cool thing I could find . I'll understand if you rate low . I hope I was some help . Well by .

Ok... my friend went up to my guy friend and was like "(my name) is such a whore she wears thongs!" and then when i confronted her shes like.. i guess i was just jealous of yours and his friendship becasue you guys are close and i like him... i think thats a bunch of crap... then people are saying that the guy she told doesnt really like me and when i asked him hes like what!!! who told you that... if you understand any of this please help!!
**I rate**

First of all , he probably see's her for the what you may call,"whore" that she is . Second, don't believe what others tell you of that person because, if you want to know the true facts, go directly to the source . She probably wants to do this because, you and him are friends or just because she wants to annoy the hell out of you . I hope I was some help and I tried to answer this the best way I could . Have a nice day and peace.

Alright so in french today, a guy came in, handed my teacher a note and then my teacher gave it to me. in the note it said that they wanted me to join a club called "A World Of Differnce." Anyone know what the heck that is and if its anygood? i dunno they said it was about tollerence and stuff, but the note made no sence at all.

Well the base root for the word tolerance would probably mean , religous toleration( toleration of different religions ex. cathlics, christians, and Islam ). So that's what it may mean of a "A World of Difference" . You may discuss how to solve things between different ethnic groups . It'll probably bring up today's issue's between christians and muslims,vs. jews and e.t.c. . Hope I was some help . Have a nice day .

my friends asked if i wore tampons and i said yea i do i can never feel them..its comfortable to me but she said ima hoe cz its like havin a dick stuck in me for hours at time vs. feeling like im wearing a diaper..im the only one out of my friends that wear tampons everyone wears pads..am i doin somethin worng and how does it make you a hoe ..its not a dick its a tampon!?

Don't worru about what they say although I personally wear pads . Anyway, if you feel more comftorable wearing tampons, then wear them . It's none of their damn buisness what you wear, and it's really all depends on you and how you feel . Wearing tampons don't make you a hoe . I know that for a fact . I personally don't know how it feels to have a penis in you, but I don't think that wearing a tampon makes you a hoe . People are entitled to their opinions and although their opinion may be dumb and stupid, deal with it .You have to anyway . Basically, what this advice boils down to is that, if you feel comftorable wearing tampons then wear them .It's your body not them, and you call these people your friends . Well,it's up to you . Hope I was some help . Well have a nice day . By

Okay ..i got a really bad grade on my spanish thingy .. i got an E and ive never gotten an E in my life. I mean i got grounded for a C and who knows what will happen with an E .. im too scared to show my mom so i thought about forging bcuz i've done it before but im afraid that like one day im gonna have a parent-teacher confrence and my teacher is gonna show her that and her be like i never signed that. i dont want the simple answer honesty is the key or whatever i want what yall would do! i rate really good =) please help me now!!!

I would tell my mother the truth because, forging is really terrible . You could get into a load of trouble, and I'm not just talking grounding . If you do get away with this forging, it's more likely that you'll have a guilty conscience . You'll feel terrible , but you'll get over it . EITHER WAY THE TRUTH IS EXPOSED IN THE END . It always comes beck to bite you in the .... That's just the way it is .

okay here it goes... my friend is goin out with this guy that she really likes and he just is devoted to her (so she tells me). i've heard from his best friend that he is just goin out with her for the looks and poularity that comes along with her. I dont want to hurt her feelings by asking her but i dont want her to get hurt eaither. I dont like him mutch, i mean hes really mean to me and i think she deserves better. What do i do? HELP!!!!

I think you need to tell your friend how you feel because, she could really get hurt ; you won't feel to good about yourself if you just let this happen . Of course, you know this . She may not like the truth , but she'll have to except it the easy way or hard way . If she excepts it with difficulty, then it'll be a path that'll turn into another hard lesson learned . Tell her . She may not understand then , but she'll understand later .

i have homecoming this saturdayy.. and i have no clue how to do my make up.. i have dirty blondish..hair andd a light blue and dark blue glirtty dress.. and i have green eyes.. and how should i do my hair! any tips! plz plz ill rate ya ;]

You might want to wear a green necklace or earrings to bring out your green eye's, and you might want to wear a blue, diamond, or pearl necklace to bring out your prom dress more . You want to make things attractive . Something that will attract people's eye's , but something that looks neat and descent ; something that's not too in but, something that'll do . Whatever you want to wear is up to you . Remember this is your night and your night . I hope you enjoy your prom and good luck . Hope my advice was useful .

My question is I have know this guy for almost fifteen years. We have known each other since the third grade and the whole time I have known him I like more then just a friend. We used to be good friends but in eighth grade he asked me if I wanted to have sex with him and when he asked me I didn't say anything. But after that day we weren't good of friends like we were before because I didn't know how to act around him. But in high school I noticed that he still likes me because I use to catch him looking at me and smiling and sometimes we would smile when ever we looked at each other because we always had a class together through high school. When we graduated he wrote something really nice but the thing is I don't know if he is the type of guy to write the same thing in every girls yearbook or if he just did it in mine. But to this day I don't know if he wants to be more then friends or not. But I found out that he hoined the army and I am thinking of writing him a letter but I am not sure because we haven't keep in touch in almost four years so what should I do.

Write the letter explaining things to him, and maybe you should ask him out for dinner . It would be good for you and he might be wondering why you're doing this . If you really want him, go for it . I think that your possibility of getting with him may not be that strong(because, you haven't seen him in four years) , but still talk to him . Write him and keep in touch . You may never know, he might be the one . Oh and tell him why you never did this in High School .

I'm on my period and it hurts like CRAP! I'm dying!!! I rarley get cramps..I usally only get them the first day. And its my first day. So besides taking medicine what can I do to take the pain away? Its killing me! I have church soon so i'm going to go buy tons of chocolate haha. Ohhhh the pain!!! Someone kill me.

Lay down on your stomach and try not to be too active because, cramps will worsen . Try not to think about them that much . If that doesn't work, I advise you to take some alieve . It'll relieve your cramps during your whole period or midol . I know you don't want to take medicine , but if it hurts as bad as you say, then you'd do it . I know you may not hate taking medicine, but I do ESPECIALLY PILLS. But I have to for my cramps so, do what you got to do . By .

Okay, im thirteen and i have a boyfriend who is the greatest thing in my life right now, hes so suportive towards me..and i really would like to spend the rest of my life with him and i know alot of people are gunna tell me that im 13 and alot of things are gunna go on in my life that might change and i dont even know what love is, but trust me i do i know exactly what it is thanks too him, but anyways...we both wanna go further..cause we both have the same feelings for eachother, and i wanna go further but i dont know how far..i mean we have made out alot...and like fingered..whats next? help me and ill rate you

I think that you should follow your instincts . Don't try to think about what he wants when it comes to the NEXT BIG STEP( that is if you take this step) because, you may be the one that suffers the most out of this step . I know you LIKE HIM ALOT, but DO YOU LOVE HIM . You may think that this is a good thing because, I consider you lucky , but you have to think about what's best for you . Basically my advice is if you're having doubts that you're not sure what you want and that's a good thing . You're young and you have the rest of your life, and if he can't wait to hell with him . BUT , if you really really truely 85-100 % think you're ready to go to that next BIG STEP, then do it . It's all up to you . Trust your instincts which are your mind and your heart . I hope I was some help and by .

Me and my bf have been together since april but were close friends since june'03. My mum met him Sept'03. Everything was good. She liked him a lot. They would get on really well. Then in April I told her me and him were going out. Her attitude turned completely. She wont talk to him when he comes round. She says hes wrong for me and she says she can see straight thru him and tell that he has a bad character. They have argued. He wont come round anymore so Im usually not at home coz Im with him. She keeps saying 'I bet you're having sex.' Just like that, really spitefully. She keeps making comments. She says if I dont break it up she will. She says stuff about the country he is from even tho my dad is from that country. My dad gets on with him even tho my mum says it hurts him to see me with 'that boy'. My little brother doesnt like him coz my mum says that he makes me cry.
Anyway both my boyfriend and my mum say bad stuff about eachother. My boyfriend says he hates her and makes fun of her. All the stuff they are saying to me is hurting me inside because they are both ppl I care deeply for and are important to me. Its making me really unhappy. I havent really showed it to them. I have only metioned it to them once each. They both said stop feeling sorry for yourself. My mum says if youre so unhappy with him then break up with him. When I told my bf he said sort it out with her. I dont know what to do. Im really unhappy.

I think you need to have a family meeting with your mother, father, and your brother . Get all the issue's out about your boyfriend and everything . Maybe you should take this boyfriend of yours to this meeting because, I understand that he has some dirty laundry that he airs about your mother . At this meeting , facts will probably set straight, and there's always a possibility of things not working out as well planned as it may be. Go one at a time . Start with one problem that the person may have with the other, and make ways to solve the problem . Communication is the only way I can see this problem getting solved and their maybe some compromises . You'll feel better about it though. I don't know how or why I know this but I think you will . I hope I was some help, and have a nice day . Good luck .
