I would just like to know what are traits you personally think make a person a loser? (link)
What I think a loser is when you think you are terrible and think that you can't do anything and also thinks nothing about their future. And when someone fall and won't get back up. And if someone calls you a loser and you believe them it makes you one.


I go to a school OBSESSED with sports.

We win everything, every sport..you know. Anyway, people take gym wicked intense. I dont know why? I have never been a gym fanatic, being a girl. This semester, I have to play volleyball and I cant. Literally, I am so bad! I cant even hit it over the net and I duck when the ball comes towards me. Any advice on this and how to make it seem less like I cant play? Laughing with my friends isnt working, its just making me look like a flake. But not being able to play well is embarassing. (link)
Everybody isn't good at everything but I had that trouble when I played volleyball. I couldn't even hit it over the net either! So I know how you feel at that point. But the next time I actually did it was because I tried real hard and put my mind to it. If you try everybody will respect you instead of seeing that your not trying and will be sorta depressed. I hope everything goes well for you!


My best friend invited four girls, all who i'm friends with, over to her house right in front of my face while I was talking to them during lunch. She didn't even invite me even though I was standing right there talking to all of them. I was confused, so I asked her if I was invited and she said, "I don't care. You can come if you want. I knew you'd end up coming anyways." And she said that I always invite myself over, when I don't. Normally at lunch I always say, "Hey, do you wanna do something after school today?" or whenever I get off the bus I say that. But, she always starts walking to her house, so I just follow her..I didn't want to get in a fight over it, so I just said sorry even though I didn't do anything. Now she made me feel really bad, mad, & I'm not happy at all. I'm trying to just forget about it though. Anyone have any ideas of something FUN I can do this weekend? (link)
You didn't do anything wrong. Friends hang out so its not your fault that she would do that. It wasn't very nice of her invite the other girls and say to you that you invite yourself. She said she is your friend so talk to her and see ask if she will treat you like one. On the weekend you can hang out with your other friends and go for ice-cream and stuff like that. You'll have a great weekend. Also try to give her some space she probably didn't know that you didn't mean any harm like that. But I hope everything goes well for you.


Lisa(not her real name) likes Tommy(not his real name) for 2 years,Tommy likes me(he told me im not concetied) and I like him however I cant go out with tommy b/c lisa likes tommy and lisa is MY best friend and im the only one who know she likes him but Tommy doesnt no Lisa likes him b/c he only thinks of her as a sister and doesnt like her but i like him but i dont no what to do? (link)
Well I think you should tell Lisa that you like Tommy too. And see if its alright with her. If she says its cool to go out with Tommy then you should. But she might just be saying it because she your friend right? And you don't want to hurt your friend for a boy. Its gonna be hard to tell her you like Tommy too. Would you go out with him even though your friend would be crying, I don't know if she would do that but this is just a question, so you put your friend first right? So just tell her and see what comes out of it. I hope everything goes well for you!


Ok well I'm a freshman in highschool. Currently, I go to a great school with different "academies" that focus on specific jobs, such as health, telecommunications, etc. By the time I finish highschool, if I stay there all four years, I will have a certificate which will help me towards getting my degree. However, in this school, I have to wake up at five in the morning every day and I get home around 3:00, when school lets out at 2:30. I've been thinking about going to my homeschool, which is only a few blocks away. If I went to that school, I wouldn't have to wake up so early, I would get home much earlier, which would give me more time for homework, and I'd probably get much better grades because the teachers there are less strict and the work isn't as hard. The school I go to now is a uniform school, which means no worries about wearing an outfit more than once. I also have many friends here and the people are nicer. In the other school, there is no uniform, which means I'd have to spend more money on clothing, and the people aren't as nice, although I do have some friends that go to that school. My question is, what do you think I should do: Bust my butt at my current school but get a better education while I'm with my friends, OR take the easy road, make new friends, and still get an education, but not as great? (link)
My opinion is stay at the school your at. You get a good education and you can stick with friends that are their for you. You are gonna have to think about the consiquence here. If you go to another school you get off a half hour early. There is just a 30 minute difference. The school that I used to go to got off at 3:05 but it was a great school and now I wanna go back. You'll be getting the better grades because its going to be easy. Your not gonna face life like that trying to take the easy road because it might now be as easy as it is.


15/f

Yup, you guessed it. I'm a girl who can be outgoing but who can also be quite shy. I'm confident but when a guy is shy I tend to act the same. This guy at school likes me and it is common knowledge. He has asked me to a movie a few times but I have always been busy, unfortunately. We see eachother sometimes in the halls at school but only say hi rather than full conversations. I was wondering if anyone had some good techniques to catch his attention during those brief moments or "excuses" to have a conversation.

Other info:
- I am thinking of inviting him to a party next weekend but before then I would like to talk to him more at school

Thanks! =) (link)
The party is a great for having to talk to him. So go up to him saying something like, Hey I'm having a party on ______and it would be great to have you come. That would also make it easier to just have a conversation so that would make it an excuse to talk to him. Then find time to walk up to him and have a conversation. You can also smile at him when he looks at you when you pass him and your hi's always work too. Oh what I did once was when you walk passed him was have your eyes or head follow him and usually he does it too. I hope everything goes well!


16/f

okay theres these 2 guys who are pretty good friends. Andrew (16) and Scott (15). I liked both of them a while back. One day Scott told me he liked me, so i figure andrew didn't since they're good friends and all. Scott is like one of my best friends, but i still wanted a relationship with him. So i tried to make things work. Scott is not allowed to dat until he is 16. So we've had to secretly go on dates. I'm starting to get a little tired of it always bein a secret. We've been going out for almost 3 months now. Yesterday night, Andrew told me he liked me. And has for a really long time but couldn't tell me becuase of Scott liking me. The things is, is that i really like both of them, and i don't wanna screw up their friendship. It would be wayy easier to date Andrew, but i like both of them. What should i do?

oh ya, scott won't turn 16 until April, I turn 17 in March. (link)
Yeah that happens to alot of people. Okay both of them really like you right? Well you are gonna have to pick one of them. If you wanna keep going out with Scott secretly then I think you should. But if you really want to go out with Andrew then you should. Its gonna be hard to choose. But you don't wanna them to fight because they are best friends. Its also going to be hard to tell them that you like the other one. Like if you like Andrew a little more then you should tell Scott that you like Andrew and not that he's better than you but that you like him. So I hope everything goes well for you!


I really like my guy friend (lets call him Sam). He and I are always together in school and everyone guessed that I like him but i never admit it. Sam and I flirt alot, we talk, we make eye contact, we trust eachother, hes there for me, he defends me, he'll try to talk to me if he sees me cry, he smiles at me when we see eachother in the hall, and hes so sweet. Now, one of my guy friends got really depressed and I tried to help him through it. It didn't work so well and Sam could tell I was getting upset over something. He once overheard me telling my best friend how I couldn't take knowing about this and how in the end I told his parents. Sam overheard when I said I had cried the night before and as soon as class ended he came to the door and asked me what was wrong. I couldn't tell him the secret but I told him a bit. Now he is bugging me to tell him more and the othe guy is really mad I told even a little bit. What should I do? (link)
Tell Sam that the other guy told you a secret that you have to keep. So tell him you can't tell him because its a secret and you need to keep it. He needs to respect that. And apoligize to the other guy about you telling him a little bit and you won't tell anymore and that he can trust you. I hope everything goes well.


my skin is really pale and i have really really dark blue eyes and really stand out (not ina good way) and i just wanted to know if there was a way to make them seem not as dark??

thanks xxxx (link)
Well there is contacts for like a lighter blue. Makeup works too. Like add a nice color that looks good with your skin and dosn't make your eyes stand out to much. Also you can wear jewelery or something like that to help people notice those more than your eyes. But you should be happy its the way you were born and thats who you are. So you can try those and I hope everything works out for you.


My ex boyfriend and I dated 3 years on and off and 6 months steady. I broke up with him about 4 months ago. I can't seem to get over him. In this case its harder because our parents are best friends and we see each other all the time. At school, he comes over, I go there. For me its harder than usual. How can I get over him. Please don't say stay away from him because thats not an option. Any and everything will help.
Mac
PS. I had very good reasons for breaking up with him. (link)
Yeah alot of girls go through this. So best thing to do is to try talking to other guys and you might start liking them. You've moved on from this guy and I know it will be hard but you should just try hard to forget about him. And when you see him just remember why you broke up with him. I hope everything will work out for you.


Hi I'm 15 years old female and a sophomore in high school. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 1 year and 3 months and I love him sooo much and he is like perfect. But I have absolutely no idea what to give him for valentines day... he is always so nice about getting me what I want. But he never tells me what he wants so I never know what to give him. And I want it to be really sweet, but my mind is just drawing blanks whenever I think about it. Thanks :-) (link)
Like talk to him about what he likes and stuff but don't bring up the part about the valentines thing because its funner to be a surprise too!


So there is this guy that likes me, and I like him too. We arent going out though. But lately i've been thinking about him like 25/7! Is this normal? I feel stupid because, what if he isnt thinking about me that much? Or at all!!?? Do alot of girls think 24 hours a day about a guy that they like? (link)
Yes its totally normal. I do it all the time! Yeah like the rest of them said make sure you focus on schoolwork too because then your grades will go down. Yeah I've experienced it!


i just hate what's happening to me. I am being emotionally abused by my uncle's girlfriend or something like that and I just don't know how to let go of the thought. I even called hotlines already and all they did nothing to help just gave me bunch of other hotlines that is basically the same. I even think that it's my uncle's girlfriend who is on the phone pretending to be a hotline. How the heck did she got the calls the I made to someone else and interfered? I sort of noticed the voice sounds the same each time I called. MY mom talks to me like she knows this way I reacted in school when she was telling me something. I hate her so much. I tried telling her even cried but the same thing kept happening. (link)
I think I've answered your other question before. Well talk to your uncle about why his girlfriend is treating you like that. See what he says


he keeps staring at me! like in homeroom sometimes he'll be like "durene", or I just notice that someone is staring at me, and then I look and see him. He does it on purpose, and its kinda freaky because I dont even know how to respond! Im like.. "okay.. why do you keep doing that?" and then before I'd laugh or something but he'd still do it which is awkward. maybe hes making fun of me? or trying to be my friend? i dont like him like romantically, but maybe he things I might... but I dont really think he likes like that since hes more popular than I am. It doesnt seem like he's really like being mean to me because he's not like that to most people. but what do I do? and I've asked people, and they dont know why he does it too. I saw him do it to some other girl, too. what a weird guy, lol. (link)
He might like you. This guy does that to my best friend to make her laugh. He might like you or he might just trying to make you laugh.


alright

well my girlfriend's best friend told me last night that my girlfriend is grounded for 4 months and isn't allowed to see/talk to me for who knows how long. 1- i don't know why i got brought into this- she's grounded for using her neighbors wireless internet to talk on aim when she's not supposed to use aim, and 2- what should i do? i care for her WAAAYY too much to just say "hey, you fucked up, so now i'm dumping you"- i don't want to dump her. i absolutely love her, and she's amazing and beautiful and sweet, but if i can't see her or talk to her, how are we going to have a meaningful relationship? i'm very perplexed by the whole thing... (link)
Try talking to her mom about it and tell her that you really like her and wish to see her sometimes. Thats the best thing to do. There is really nothing more to do than that. I hope everything goes well


ok this guy likes one of my friends and he won't ask her out can someone please give me some tips to give to him? (link)
You just have to tell him to do it. Or else some other guy will take her. But the best way to do it is to talk to her alone because if she does reject him then it won't be so emabaressing as it would be in public. So just tell him to ask her before another guy comes along and takes her. And also he should anyway because it is best to get it out and take the chance or else nothing will happen. So taking the chance is best because she might like him too!


well i need help with this,
i'm 14 and a chick
my boyfriend just broke up with me about 2 days ago and i still love him sooooo much. like you guys have no idea.
but i dont know what to do, i want to get over him but it seems impossible.
and it was such a rash decision too.
about 3 days before he was telling me how much he loved me and that i was pretty and all these reasons why he loved me, but then he just broke up with me.
he says its because he cant handle the pressure of being in a relasionship, and i told him i wouldnt pressure him at all.

we had been dating for 4 months by the way.
help would realllyy be appreciated. and i'll love you forever =] (link)
Its hard to get over the guy that just broke up with you espeacially since it was 2 days ago. He probably can't handle the commitment like something went wrong and he can't handle it. So you should just try hard to get over him. He still might like you but just wants to wait a bit.


okay, so i like this guy, but there was an incident where he thought i liked him, and i did, but the incident had nothing to do with me liking him, so i just didn`t bring it up. well anyways, i`ve been talking to another guy, one that i`m kinda closer with, and now i never really talk to the guy i like, but for some reason, i still like him, &i can`t get over it. what should i do? (link)
You should try talking to the guy you like. If you just wanna be friends then tell him that. The incident that happened could have been by mistake like his friends were watching you and telling him stuff so he thought you did. If you like this guy then you should talk to him.


ok her is the deal im a christian and my boyfriends is not we have promise rings and we really love each other but he is 20 nd im 15 is it wrong? (link)
Okay their is nothing wrong with you being a christian and him not. Well you being 5 years younger than him can be a problem. There is nothing wrong with it but you won't get anything out of it.


why the hell does my mom has to be so mean to me. I just don't get it anymore. What is it I am not a daughter in her eyes anymore. I swear she's so unfair. And I bet my bitchy uncle's girlfriend is involved in this again. I swear i hate her she's so fucking insane. making people spy on me when I am all alone by myself or talking to somebody even when I go into the internet. I swae you would hate what she sounds like when she talks to me. Like I am trying to be center of attention and oh I make myself something that I am not. It's humiiliating. I was on the interent then she yelled at me like I didn't hear what she said. I heard her I was just finishing on the internet. What is that I have to be on time at all her commands. I may be a bitch for saying all this but it's frustrating. (link)
The best thing I can think of is trying to talk to your mom about it. Just try talking to her nicely. Talk to your mom about the sittuation and see if she will give you some space.
