Hey!
I live in Canada and I'm teen. I've been through a lot of stuff with my friends over the last few years and I always try to give my insight into their problems (sometimes even when they don't really want it lol).
I've realized that over time I have accumulated a lot of questions about moving on, so if you have a question about that, lay it on me!!
I don't think that ratings matter, and that you should choose someone to trust your question with, that will answer it with care, but show you what the world really is and wont sugar coat it.
I hope you guys find my advice helps, hope to talk soon!! :D

i'm having a lot of trouble in school this year, keeping my grades up. i normally haven't had any trouble with this. any tips on time management and how to focus and stuff? thanks (link)
| |
one thingthat i try to do is set a time every day like say 6-7 and spend that hour studying. pick the things that are most important and study them for equal amounts of time, and then pick the things that are further away, like say a test two weeks away, and pick one section to study a night for a smaller amount of time. then at 7 reward your self by going on the internet, or having a snack or watching t.v. once it gets near exam time, increase it to two hours a day at different times, like 4-5 and 7-8 then u have a nice little break in the middle, and dont study the things that you laready studied in the first study period, other wise you will feel upset because you may have forgotten study the first things again later. also keep a really need agenda book, or day timer. if you not only write down your homework, but also what you did in class it is easier to remember exactly what you learned. and try your hardest to stay focused in class. dont sit near people who you know will bother you or talk your ears off. dont doodle, or draw. and try to take some notes on the onversations especially ones further away from a test because you will probably forget them. I hope this helps somewhat, and if not, then ask your parents for a tutor. they can really help. good luck!!

I am a 20 year old guy, who just happens to really like a girl who will be 17 in three months time.
i do beleive she likes me, but when I try to ask if she would like to do something, her parents always seem to have reasons why not. When I ask her about things, she seems to genuinly intrested, but can't. Am I better off to ingore these feelings, and move on, or is this worht pursuing? (link)
|
you're 20. her parents dont like you asking her out because shes 16. its pediphile... i doubt its worth pursuing, I'm sure that you can find someone better who can legally go out with you, with out her parents consent. good luck!
I'm sorry if i sounded rude, I wasnt trying to be. :)

My boyfriend broke up with me after just two weeks and it was all the sudden. On Monday and Tuesday we were still a happy couple, but all the sudden on Wednesday afternoon he said we were over. I can't figure out why. There are rumors that he is likes one of my best friends. And she likes him... A LOT. It's killing me because I love him and I can't just all the sudden stop liking him. It seriously isn't puppy love because it feels different-better than anything. I love being around him but if I even look at him my eyes will tear up and I'll cry. So the next morning my friend that I was telling about earlier asked me if I was still friends with him and I said no. Was I right to say no? No I cry everytime I think about him. If I would have said yes then maybe we might eventually go back out, but I am not sure if I really want that. I don't know how to feel. What should I do? (link)
| |
well, you feel bad because you had high hopes for where the relationship was going which is okay. He shouldnt have broken up with you without giving him a reason and you are mad at him. thats fine. you dont have to be friends with he people you break up with. and right now you still want to get back together with him, but soon you will realize that hes a stupid boy, (lol jk) and that he isnt worth your attention. even if he does get together with your friend, it doesnt matter. try and be happy for them, but if thats imposible for you, then just spend time with your friend when your ex isnt around. but try to let your friend know that you still have feelings for him, that way she will hopefully still be sensitive and wont talk about him too much in front of you. dont tell her not to go out with him tho because she will resent you for it. be a good friend. I hope this all works out for you. and i hope i helped.

well be aunt and uncle just died in a car crash leaving 3 boys ages 3, 5, and 9. i am really sad about it and all of the sudden will have a breakdown. anything i should do to try and get over it or comfort their boys? the 3 year old is constantly asking questions about his mom. thanks! (link)
|
hey,
thats really hard, I think that its okay to feel upset and even cry when you arent around the boys, but when you are arounbd the you need to help keep their minds off of it. Try your hardest to spend one on one time with each of your cousins, especially the nine year old, because most likely he is trying to cope with this loss, as well as staying strong infront of his younger siblings. everyone is probably telling him to be strong and stuff, and he probably thinks that he cant let his emotions go. you should keep an eye out for him, and try your hardest to make sure that he has someone to talk to if he needs help.
i'm sorry for your loss. i hope i helped. good luck!!

To start everything off, I'll say that I'm 16 and my friends mean the world to me. And to lose the people that I've grown up with is something I don't know how to deal with... We have a click around my neighborhood that was us 4 or 5 girls and a couple boys. Back in May I went away for the weekend and came back to find that my best friend of 7 years was getting really close with this other 2-faced, drama loving girl from our neighborhood. While I don't have a problem with it, they decided that since I talked to her ex boyfriend they were both going to be mad at me. Even when me and him were ONLY friends for years before they even dated. I tried 5 times during the summer to apoligize and see what I did so wrong to my bff, but neither would tell me. So I hung out with the other 2 girls in the area. One of them is always up my ex best friend's rear end and started ditching me for her. To make a long story short, she was then mad at me for nothing other than she wanted to hang out with her more. The last girl is caught in between and I'm not the type to make her choose. I have other friends but these are the girls that were everything to me. What do I do after they've even gone so far as to scream names at me down the street to look cool in front of the new boys that they hang out with? And what they said was the only thing that they knew for a fact would hurt the worst? Do I try to be nice with them, even during the classes we have together? (link)

hello,
I was involved in a similar thing, except i was on the other side of the "fence." A group of friends and I were totally mean to this girl in our class last year. Not giving every little detail, we ended up losing a lot of time wasted on fighting this girl. sure we hurt her feelings, she hurts ours back, and now we never speak, but I'm sure you know how thta feels, girls can be mean. Thats an understatment. but eventually they may get tired and give up. If not, then just realize that the only reason that they are doing it is to look cool, and get a lot of laughs. Dont let them get you down, eventually things will turn around hopefully. I hope I helped. good luck.

I babysit alot, like twice a week, for like womens bible studies, church events, and whoever needs it. But lately I've run out of ideas to entertain the kids. Do you guys have anything? or know about any websites?
Thanks:] (link)
|
when I babysit, I take the kids to the park by my house, but if you dont have a park near by, crafts are fun. I did this one with my cousin, where you fill a large pan with water, and then scrape chalk with a knife, the chalk dust sits on the top of the water, and then you can place a peice of paper on top, then you have coloured staionary for the kids to colour on.
baking is great too. It teachs the kids things like math and life skills, and it also leaves something to eat later.
search google, and other sites for kids activities like games etc.
a good website, is www.pbs.kids.org keyword zoom. there are millions of crafts and experiements, as well as healthy foods to cook while babystting. good luck. hope this helps.

this is mainly to teenage mums.
im 17 years old and me and my boyfriend both really want a baby. i am attending a 2 year college course and have decided if we do conseve i will home study. not a problem.
me and my boyfriend are very happy and it looks like we will b 2gether 4 a very long time.
it all started when we had the little scare that i could be pregnant. we thought about it and spoke about it and we both decided we want one. weve figured out everything we will do, wont do and which needs to be done. so we thought it though alot.
so i ask those teen mums what it is like to have a child and how old you was when you had you first. even though i do understand it will be hard but im willing to put in all the effort needed.
any advise would be great.
thanks

Hey,
I'm not a teen mom, and I know that you aimed this question at teen moms, but I still think I can help. having a baby, can be a great thing, but it is also something that can change your life. I think my first peice of advice is that you and your boyfriend should try babysitting a young, young baby for a few days straight. try the midnight feedings, and the no sleep, with your at home schooling. and realize that with about a total of 3 hours of sleep might not be enough to manage school. Also, you should try something small, like try and keep a plant alive for two weeks, then get a puppy. When the puppy has an accident on the floor and chews up your school book, then you can decide whether you really do need a baby. Also you are 17, waiting until you are done college probably wont be that long, and the longer you wait for something that you really enjoy, the more special it is. Plus, I think you should get married first, but thats only my opinion, listen to what the teen morthers say when they answer this question. But in my opinion, I'd wait a few years. At least until your'e done school. Having a baby should be special, and it will be specail whether you do it now or in three years, but it shouldnt be something that you regret. good luck! hope this helps

Alright, popular question here, haha.
Well, schools started and we all our assigned in certain areas, and of course, since everyone sort of has their friends already, much of the people sitting around the group I'm in aren't much for conversation since we're all strangers to one another. I mean, a few of them know eachother and it's hard to get into a conversation with them since they're talking about things I don't know about. Any advice on how to talk to them better and get to know them?
I hope I helped. (link)
|
hey!
i have the same problem. i dont know very many people in my math class, so when I have a question, i have no idea who to ask. What I usually do, is start simple conversation, like: "How was your weekend," or "Did you see the football game yesterday." try and find something in common with the people in your group. Once you find something that you can talk about the rest will come easy. good luck, hope I helped!!

So me and my best friend lisa like these two boys named andrew and justin. They talk to us and justin likes lisa but i mean i just stared talking andrew like two weeks ago. we have like EVERYTHING in common and hes nice and funny and know how to make me smile. Me Lisa, Justin, and Andrew are all in chorus together and like everyday after chorus for like 3 days we have gave Justin and Andrew stickers. and today i was walking with them and lisa gave justin one and andrew heard it and hes like STICKERS! and im like yup and gave it to him and it said "never forget your special" and hes like awee thanks! :] and he like walked by and looked at me and halfish smiledish and i was just wondering if it sounds at alll like he likes me i have no ideaa tho. how would i know?
pleaseee helpp!
i would reallly like to knoww! (link)
| |
Well because I dont know him, its really hard for me to figure out wether he likes you or not. Guys can be really hard to read. I think that if you give him some clear signals then he might be able to figure out that you like him. and then maybe he can just put himself out there and tell you that he likes you. if he does, guys are weird sometimes and they often have trouble putting themselves out in the open because they are afraid of getting hurt or their reputation being damaged. Sadly that leaves it up to you to do something. and you can. If you want to that is. I have no idea what you are looking for in this relationship, but if you want a bf, then you may have to work for it. if you are up for it then you should. he may like you back. good luck hope this helps.

Well, ok my friend Natalie lies a lot. She told me that she was dating Jon over the summer. I told one of my friends then we asked Jon and he said no. They I asked one of my friends, kate, thats friends with Nat if she told her that. Now tommorow kate is prolly gonna ask nat and nat is going to deny it. kate is probably going to believe natalie and idk why. what should I do if kate believes natalie that I was lying? (link)
|
hey!
i know exactly what u r going through. i went through it with my ex bff. she lied so much. she told us that she was dating a guy named tyler and then we asked for a pic and she sent me and my bff a pic of ryan sheckler. so then we called her on it and she lied some more. Then she spinned it around and said that I was a lier. I just delt with it. I spent my time with other friends. Then my ex bff moved and we never talk any more so I guess it worked out for the better, but if kate believes nat, let her, it shouldnt matter eventually nat will lie to her too and then she will realize that you are right. If she doesnt believe you its her fault. there isnt anything that you can do to convince kate that nat is lying. one day she will figure it out. I hope by sharing my experiences it will help you. if your freindship turns for the worst, just know that you dont need to be freinds with a liar, because once u get over this one it will just happen again. I hope you have enough knowledge to make your own decisions, good luck!

o.k so here's the deal my dream is to be and advice columnist for a newspaper or magazine i'm really good at giving people advice.. but i never take my own.. i need... help i have a great boyfriend... he's nice, funny and he makes me feel good he once just came over my house just to give me flowers......but he has one flaw... HE SMOKES WEED! and weve been dating for about 3 months now and he says he's gonna stop but he doesn't... please i need help should i break up with him or give him another chance... please tell me what you think (link)

hey this is not going to be your average advice. Okay?
I know that your gut is telling you that something isnt right and the drugs are making you uncomfortable. Which is okay. There are millions of great guys out there who will treat you great so you have to listen to your heart.
its okay to ask for advice once in a while, but no one can make the dicission for you, and sometimes the advice you get wont be exactly what you want to hear. in the end its your decision, and nothing that anyone on this website can say will change what you do.
I think that you should read that question of yours as if it was someone totally different asking and see what you would say to them. then do that. And folow through with it. Like you said, "i never take my own(advice)". Well you should start. Because no one can tell you how to live your life but you!! :D good luck. hope that you figure out what advice you are going to give yourself. and choose what to do with that bf of yours. I know you can do it. and I cant wait to read your future advice column!

This guy, Mark, was my best friend last year. We would call each other all the time, talk on IM, and we kept in touch over the summer. When school started, I thought everything between us would be like it was last year. I guess he had different plans. He does not say one word to me! He doesn't even look at me and it really upsets me. I didn't do anything to make him mad at me. Over the summer, I think he changed. He sits near me at lunch and I can hear some of the things he says and it makes me wonder why I was ever his friend. He's not the kind of guy who you can just talk to about things and expect him to be sympathetic. I don't understand! How do I get my friend back? (link)
|
Hey!!
yeah guys can be weird. they can be really nine one day and really mean the next. I guess its sorta their wway of maturing. try not to take it offensively. It probably isnt your fault. But if you really want him to stay your friend, say "hey" once in a while. If he doesnt say anything back then dont take it personally. Don't act angry with him or try to give him the silent treatment because often guys dont notice. I think the best thing for you to do tho is to give him the space he needs. One day he will probably come back to you and when that happens you should be happy. And then you will probably find out that it was an misunderstanding. I'm not sure if you ment by "He's not the kind of guy who you can just talk to about things and expect him to be sympathetic." but if that means that you cant talk to him about whats going on between you to then maybe he isnt the greatest frined in the first place. isnt that sorta the definition of friend? But if thats not what you ment, then you should talk to him. and talk to him abut how you think that he's changed and maybe he can do something about it. I dont know if any of this will help, but I want you to know that you probably didnt do anything wrong so it isnt your fault. its his loss you soun like a great person. good luck!!

Well, there are too boys in my grade that have major crushes on me. Unfortunately they are both major geeks. I know thats mean, but it's true. anyway they both keep asking me out and fighting over me, but i don't like eather of them. I told them both nicely that i don't like them , but they won't listen. Then i told them the mean way, but they still don't get the picture. Plz I ed HELP.The mental kind too.LoL :0) (link)
| |
um yeah. Well just keep saying no. eventually they will figure it out and stop. I think other than that there isnt muh you can do. Be flattered that they like you so much. tell them you just want to be friends, you arent looking for a serious relationship right now. you already have plans. your parents wont let you date. Lol. other than that there is not a lot to say. good luck i hope this helps

I would like your advice on this situation. About 3 months ago i was shopping and i saw this guy that works in one of the shops staring at me(in a nice way) but it was a really intense stare. Anyhow after going back numerous times i went up to him and gave him my email adress and phone number.We spoke a few times on email but it was always me that sent them..So i stopped and we havent spoken in ages, but still everytime i see him he still stares at me, and smiles, and his friends do the same, as if he has told them about me. I really dont know what to think anymore, mabye he is shy, but why doesnt he speak to me. (link)
|
Some times guys do weird things. When you think of them, think of them as girls who are very macho and dont shave their legs. lol!! I;m sure that if his friends look at you strangely its because hes told them some thing about you. what that is may depend though. I support your courage by going over to him and giving him your info. However, sometimes guys are weird and to him maybeit wasnt a good thing.:s. There is a possibility that he told his friends something bad about you. Same as girls who gossip about guys or other girls, behind their back. But I could deffinatly be wrong about that one.
You know there is no way for sure to know why they smile at you. Maybe they are in awe of you. lol. But I'm not sure if thats what the question is. Maybe the question is should I go ask him. If it is then yes. If you want a relationship to happen. Or, if you just want a friendship, just keep talking to him. Who cares if you are the one keeping up the conversation. And if you choose that path then you will probably find out about the smiling eventually. good luck with whatever you chose. Hope I helped a bit.

i like my bestfriends neighbor, he kind of likes me, problem is were both really shy and never talk, when i see him at school, we dont say anything and when i hang out at my bestfriends house and he comes over we hardly ever talk, what can i do? i really want to date this guy but we cant get closer if we never talk (link)
|
Well first of all you cant date a guy if you dont even say hi. So next time you see him. Say hey. hows it going. the next time you see him say whats up. the time after that make more conversation. eventually you two will be talking a lot. hopefully that helps
good luck

Hello, im 15 and just started a new school. I got split up from my friends i've been with for a long time, and its tough findign you way through a new place. My good friend is in lots of danger. she has had multiple relationships in the last while, and has changed completely. she talks about drugs, and sex. some people choose to have sex young, but I dont think my friend is making the right choices. she barely talks to me anymore, and shes the kind of person that will end up pregnant or addicted to drugs because she is soo stubborn and always fails to see the danger in situations like these. I tried talking to her but I knwo shes just lying to me...what do I do? (link)

16/f.ok so i just moved to a new school and the very first day i met this really nice girl. shes so sweet, and i sit with her at lunch. ive even gone over to her house and hung out with her. shes not really the type of person i usually hang out with, but shes so sweet. but over the weeknd i met these group of girls that go to my school and tehre more my type. they invited me to sit with them at lunch and they want to hang out with me more, but i dont know what to do. these girls dont liket he girl i met the first day and they dont really associate with her. who should i sit with and how do i break the news to the other one? thanks.
p.s-sitting with all of us together would NOT be an option. thanks. (link)
| |
Hey. I know how you feel. But you shouldnt have to choose. Sit with the girl you met first, first and then the next day you can sit with the other girls if they cant except the fact that you have other friends then they arent worth worrying about. good luck

Journals cant give you any advice, but at least you can help yourself through it. that might help. if there is something specific that you want advice on you can always ask me. hope i helped

Okay, this is really really long. But I promise: spelling, grammar, and all that stuff will be easy to read. So we shall move on.
I'm in 9th grade and I'm 14/f. I am bisexual but I haven't come out yet since 99% of the people at my school are homophobic and about 50% of them will jump me =P. Anywhos there's this girl named...let's call her Julie. Julie likes me and I like her. There are two problems though. 1. She likes PDA (Public displays of affection) And that won't be good if I went out with her since the school will find out. and 2. She and my friend Kayte went out together last year.
And then there is James and Keith. They are both in my biology and history class together. Now, we haven't done gorup work or partner work in History yet but we have in Biology. 2 infact. The first time I worked with James and the second time I worked with Keith. James was like "Mia, you ditched. Go away." In a not serious way but more of a friendly way.
I like Keith and I'm pretty sure he likes me and I also like Stephen but he only likes me as a friend. See, I want to work with Keith because I want to go out with him but I would also like to work with James because he's my good friend and I want to be best friends with him. Not to mention that he has a rock band which is really awesome and I'm sure he'll make it big. But that's not the only reason I want to be friends with him. So the next time we have a group or partner work in Biology I want to work with James but I'm not sure if he'll want to with me. He jokes a lot and I can barely tell if he's kdding or not so that's also a problem
Sooo it's like I like Julie and she likes me while I also like Keith and James. Julie also likes James and Keith likes me. Confusing? Yes I know. So, what shall I do about this matter? Should I stick with Keith or James or if James doesn't care alternate between them for group/partner activities and as for Julie, should I tell her I'm bisexual or not and if I should should I go out with her and see what happens? And what is a easy way to get Keith's screen name without sounding like I'm stalking or like him? Like what shall I say to ask him for his screen name casually? Sorry this is so long =X (link)
| |
I think that you should go out with james for right now. it sucks that your school is homophobic, and I think until they start to except more couples you might want to stay in the closet. thats just me, especailly since you are bi. if you were a lesbian it might be different because you would be going against your true feelings. and if your consions tells you that you should date julie or something then date her. you have to go out with whom ever you eel more comfortable with. this is a tough discision but you have to decide whether or not you are going to come out of the closet or not. this is really up to you. good luck. i hope this helps.

On my right knee I have a medium sized bump on the left side of it, but it isn't on my left knee. All of the sudden the knee that has the bump will start hurting really bad every now and then. After walking or running for a while, my right knee hurts bad and my left one doesn't. When I press down on it, it barely hurts, but it feels like its pushing against the bone or whatever is in your knee. No, the bump doesn't move or anything. Does anyone know what is could be? (link)
| |
well I had the same sort of thing on my hand and my foot both times it was tendinitous. my doctor tought me two things for my foot i was walking wrong, and for my hand i was writting wrong. now that may not be what you have, but I'd suggest either talking to a coah, a doctor or a gym teacher because it may be something more serious that you are doing. For today, if something hurts dont do it. your body is telling you something is wrong and if you arent careful you can premanently damage something. good luck!
