Q: I've never been the type of person to hug every individual. Most of the comfort I recieve is through eye contact or word usage, yet I know what's missing...I need to be comforted physically. How can I go about hugging the ones I care about without doubting myself?
Also, what makes for a good hug?

Q: There's some rumours going around the internet that you can buy these contacts that makes your eyes look bigger or make them bigger.

Does anyone know if that's true? I've been trying to search the internet but couldn't find anything.

And to further show my question if you don't understand it, look at this girl's eyes:

Q: For English class we are doing a research paper on someone who has made a difference in society. Someone like a president or something..any ideas people?

Q: My stepdad has been such an asshole lately. All he does is yell at me and tell me how lazy I am. I'm on the computer most of the time because I'm BORED and there's nothing to do at home. When he comes home, he goes "I see that you're on the computer again. What did you do around the house?" It's like he expects me to make sure that the house is in tiptop shape and everything has to be absolutely perfect for him. If I slightly disagree, he gives me a dirty look and tells me that he's going to take away my laptop if I keep arguing. It's like I have no say in the house. I know I'm only 15, but I hate it when he treats me like I'm dirt and worthless. He never praises me. If my brother has a wet diaper, he won't even change it. It's SO pathetic. I'm tired of him being a stubborn little whiny bitch about everything. When he comes home, all he does is rant and he won't SHUT UP. I'm so tired of this and sometimes I can't wait until I've moved out. I've become really snappy towards my mom. She's super picky, but I'd choose her over my stepdad any day. All of this anger is bottling up inside of me and when I burst out [at the wrong times], I'm either getting punished or sent to my room. I'm so independent and hate being controlled. Give me money and a house and I'd be able to completely manage my life on my own. It's hard to talk to my mom without being judged.


Also, I wanted to mention something else as well [pertaining to this]. I almost have 2 personalities. At home, sometimes I put off cleaning and I'm a huge procrastinator [sp], and I often find myself arguing with my parents. When I visit my dad and my uncles, I'm Ms. Goody Two Shoes and do everything that is asked. If my aunt asked me to clean the bathroom, I would do it in a split second. I guess I just want to 'maintain' that good girl image for my uncles and show them that I can accomplish what need be. My cousin is 22, and had straight A's all throughout high school. She would clean without being asked at my age; she was perfect. She is my 'role model' as of now. A few years back, she received a 4 year scholarship to a local college. I guess I just want my dad's side of the family to be proud of me..

Sorry that this was so long.

Q: So I just recently quit work at a Japanese restaurant where I met the new bus boy.

He’s very nice, really. But he’s decided that he’s madly in love with me.

It was nice having someone to talk to while I was working, but he’s one of those guys you can have as a friend at work, but don’t really hang out with anywhere else, you know?

So, he asked me to go to lunch with him and some other guys from work. I was like, that doesn’t sound too bad. So I gave him my number (maybe a mistake?) and he never got around to calling me. Okay.

So… he called me right before I left school for the holidays, twice, both times asking what I was doing the next day. “I’m leaving tonight,” I said both times.

He called me a little into winter break to ask for my permission to go to a party. This seems a little weird to me. He calls me again later that week, to ask about another party. “You don’t have to ask for my permission. You can do whatever you want.”

I stopped answering his calls after awhile, and then he stopped calling. Then about a week later, I get two texts from him saying “I love you”. Now I’m starting to get really sketched out.

I got a voicemail from him not but two days ago, along the lines of “Hey, baby, I was just calling to apologize for not having talked to you in awhile. I dropped my phone in the toilet and had to get a new battery. I wanted to wish you a happy new year and everything. I love you, bye.”

I really, really did not feel like calling him back, so I settled for texting him:

'So, I’m off the schedule now at the restaurant, but I guess I’ll see you as a customer. You know I just like you as a friend, right? Happy new year.'

He called me just now. Just 10 minutes ago to ask me to accompany him to his parents’ house. In two years. Because apparently he called them and told them all about me and they think I sound like a nice girl and would like to meet me.

I have known this guy only since November.

“I don’t know what I’ll be doing in two years,” I protest. I'm thinking of studying abroad, but I don't bother to tell him this.

THEN. He asks me to marry him. In two years.

I am absolutely speechless. SPEECHLESS. “I—” I stammer, “two years is—that’s quite a—you know I just like you as a friend right?”

“But we can still keep in touch,” he insists, “and get to know each other more better.”

More better. I’m not even kidding you. …He got expelled from high school by throwing a chair at his principal.

I can’t help but feel like I am partly responsible for the situation I have put myself in. It’s just, you know, most people that I know are, well, normal.

And in college. Or have graduated from college. Or have aspirations to go to college.

Note to self: guard cell phone number with my very life!

I'm incredibly concerned, and could use a little advice. :(

Q: What is the Freebie Word found on page 31 in Seventeen's December 2007/January 2008 2007 issue?

Q: 16/f Junior in HS

i have trust issues, lets start with that. the last guy i was involved with made a bunch of lies and rumors making me look like a whore. my boyfriend of 6 months, a few years ago told me he still loved me when we broke up but he apparently didn't love me that much because he had a new girlfriend by the end of the day. i told my best friend my deepest secret and she spread it around school. my social life has changed dramatically this past year and now it has affected my love life.

my last serious relationship was 2years ago. it was amazing while it lasted and we truly were in love with each other. i had a fling over the summer but it went horribly wrong. everytime i tell a guy i like them they get a girlfriend the next day. i had a chance at getting into a relationship a few months ago but the more i talked to him the more things i found that i didn't like about him. i set high standards. well i think they're high.
i need a guy who:
-gives me space but is there when i need them
-is active in at least one sport (no computer/video game nerds{but im not saying video games are off limits})
-has to be respectful
-older than me or only younger by a month
-doesnt have hair past their shoulders
-doesnt smoke anything(i dont care about drinking as long as its not excessive)
-likes watching movies
-likes to cuddle
-wont try to make out with me in front of his friends just to show off
-wants to go to college

i don't go for just anyone. i don't like having my heart broken and i rarely put it out there. now, theres a guy who meets my standards but i'm not sure if he likes me back. we flirt a lot but i dont know if he thinks its just being nice. i need a book for understanding guys. seriously if theres a book let me know. so back to my flirty guy. he's a friend of a guy friend that i have and i've hung out with him once out of school and that was halloween. okay so on to my question(s)

1-do i have high standards?
2-is there a book for understanding teenage guys(i like to read)
3-should i go for it with this guy?
4-how do i go for it? i have one class with him
5- how do you ask for a guys AIM screen name without sounding like a crazy stalker?
6-how do you turn friendly flirting to "im interested in you" flirting?

wow 6 questions. i give you credit if you even attempt to answer all of this.

: )

Q: i live in the south, and we always say ma'am and sir when speaking to adults. however, i recently met some students from northern states and they don't say that. they even said that adults from northern states think it's weird when they say ma'am and sir. but in the south, adults think it's disrespectful to not say ma'am and sir. why is this, and should i just say ma'am and sir to all adults because that's how i was brought up?
