Tell the parents it's up to them. I do that and I usually get 5-10 dollars an hour, and it's a good amount. If they are nice, they will pay well. Also, if you leave it up to them, they feel better. They won't cheat you out.

my friend is a little to clicky.it is almost like she is obsested with me what should i do (link)

Tell her to back off. She won't get the message otherwise.

I'm 15 and my sister is 14 and she cuts herself. I just found out like 45 mins ago bc she left me a comment on my xanga saying she has a career she was looking into but she didnt know how much it paid and she wouldnt tell me what it was so I figured that maybe she searched it up on the search bar. When I checked the search bar history I found a bunch of stuff about "I cut myself" and "I cut myself and a friend wants me to stop" and such. Then, since it's late at night and she usually is in the basement at night, I tried to sneak downstairs but she caught me.
Well she started casually talking to me and asking me why I was downstairs and I looked at her arms and saw they were bloody and I almost started crying but then I mentioned how I found the articles and started asking her about it and she just smiled goofily and I looked at her arms and saw all these scars I saw before but never thought of as cutting herself just from cats. And I said "why would you do something so stupid, whos your friend" and she said "dont tell anyone, it doesnt matter, you used to cut yourself" (which I briefly cut my wrists for 3 months last fall, it was a dumb mistake and I even told her that I only did it because I thought it would make my problems go away but it never helped) and she just tried to play it off as a huge joke, and said dont tell anyone, its not a big deal. But it was! These weren't little puny cuts they werent to big but not puny! She said she doesnt tell ppl about them (xcept that friend) but thats why she wears hoodies all yr.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! I want to tell my parents but I dont want her to get mad. I really want to tell my best friend but she's not online and I'm just confused. This is my baby sister and I dont want her hurting herself. I asked her why she was doing this to herself and she didnt have a clearcut response but argh.
Please help. I really need some guidance on this I'm very confused. (link)

Tell your parents. That is the only answer. She needs to go to a hospital and get help. That's the only way. Yes you cut yourself, but you stopped. She might get mad, but she will thank you for it. Don't tell anyone but your parents. Don't tell her your telling, and tell your parents your concern about her knowing you said it. Try to get them to catch her, it'll be easier. You're doing the right thing, don't worry. My friend used to cut, and I sent him to the hospital. He's better now. When she goes, don't be surprised if she relapses. It'll all be okay, but alert your parents ASAP, don't linger. E-mail me of how it goes.

this is for my bff, im trying to help him through this...14/m. well my gf & i have been together for almost 6 months. we rarely see each other because we are so busy & when we do, she ignores me or hangs out with everyone but me even if its my party. she doesnt hug me a whole lot either & we've never kissed. i was away from her & during that time i saw & hung out with my gal pal that i hadnt seen in about a year. she likes me a lot & she does more things than my gf does (she hugs me, thats it!) & gives me attention & really cares about me so i got to like her as more than a friend now. i was planning on breaking up with my gf but after i saw her again yesterday, i fell in love with her all over again. i had loved this girl for several years & this was my chance but then she doesnt treat me right & there are other girls out there who really do care about me. what should i do? my gf i have loved for a long time & the girl that likes me gave me a heart that can be easily broken.
*info on the ladies: the gf is a bit of a tease & needs the attitude adjustment thats long over-due but she can be ok at times.
the other girl is a lot like a gf the guy had that ended up being a huge mistake...shes a bit older, more experienced & she knows he's vunerable. she also likes almost every guy i can think of.
*parents view: mom used to be FOR the breaking up but since the other girl showed up (which she doesnt want him to get involved with) she wants them to stay together.
dad doesnt want him to do anything until school starts so no one knows why he broke up with his gf.
*the bffs view: the other girl isnt my favorite (i agree with the parents) & i dont want to be responsible for the break up...i got them together & i didnt know it would end up like this. the gf was my friend but now not only does he treat him like crap but shes mean to me too.
*PLEASE, ANYTHING WILL HELP! WE REALLY NEED YOU!* (link)

Okay, well, if the 2nd girl likes every other guy, she's no good. The 1st girl (girlfriend) is also no good. He should get out of both "realtionships" and cool down for a while. Then, since other girls would go out with him, he should try that. He may have 'loved" his girlfriend for a long time, but the relationship is going no where, so there is no point. Also, the other girl seems like she's just there to be there, and wouldn't get into it all. Also, she is a friend, and things could go "sour" if they break up. He needs to not be involved in anything for a while. Hope it all works out.

"i think ill sport some sunglasses at the bowling place tonight"
What does 'sport' mean in that sentence? (link)
| |
Wear; make a fashion sentence by wearing; be cool by wearing. Basically 'wear'.

i know this is kinda gross .. but ive been broken out on the back of my shoulders for the longest time.. probably since freshman year, im gonna be a junior in the fall. is there anything i can do besides using creams? they really dont seem to be doing anything :/ (link)
| |
use astringent, and what you do on your face on your back. Also, make sure you clean you back really well in the shower. If that doens't work, seek a dermatologist for help.

Long one get ready for it-
So I was out with a group of friends at a party and I had to wait for someone outside so I'm waiting and all of a sudden I hear the door slam and there's this guy Adam, and his friends locked him out of the house. So we sat out there for like twenty minutes talking waiting for his friedns to let him back in. And he was pretty cool, so after the party I'm standing with my friend Callie, Adam asks one of us to call him to see if his cell's working I don't have one so Callie does. They trade numbers and she eventually gets a crush on him(this is over 2 months or so). But then he tells her he's gay & of cousre she tells me, so they became just friends.
Then apparantly a month ago there was this girl and she "turned him straight." And now he's telling Callie he likes me, in her words "serious relationship likes you." And I don't know what to do. He's cool and all, but I'm not quite sure about the whole once gay thing, he claims he's not bi either. And also since he's not gay Callie seems to be a little jealous.... WHAT SHOULD I DO???
Oh yeah and I'm a fifteen year old doll. (link)

Well, if she is really your friend, she will understand. Also, you have to aks him to make sure that he's not gay because you don't want to be the one who goes out with him, and then he rediscovers he's gay. That's a major self-esteem downer. So, make sure he is alright, and then again, your friend will get over it. He seems to be fine from what you said. (also, it wasn't that long)

| |
Go to Windsorstore.com, or you can go to the actual store. They are in any mall. They have pretty cheap dresses that are really pretty. Hope you can find a pretty one, and remember, don't where black OR white to a wedding. Good luck.

alright hey my brother is getting married and he did not want a big big wedding i don't know why but he did not...so after the wedding like the next weekend they are have a cookout with like EVERYONE they know!! adn everyone says their going to wear like a skirt or a dress or something fancy or something and there is going to be an inground swimming pool to. and i was woundering dose anyone know what i should wear?? (link)
| |
Well, ask your brother what the dress is like. Then you can go to a store like Papaya and get a nice summer dress or fancy skirt and shirt, and then bring your bathing suit in your purse or what not. I'm sure it's not THAT fancy if it's a cookout with a swimming pool.

Girls: Do you think it would be cute for a guy to ask before kissing a girl? Would you find that cute or weird? (link)
| |
I think it's adorable. It shows respect, and it's kind of like old time movies. Not wierd at all.

Me and my gf havent exactly been getting along we cant talk much it neva works, we hug sometimes, and we dont do anything else either because there was a problem and we said we'd work it out but obviously not and im a shy guy and i get pretty depressed often and today one of her friends(also friend of mine) told me my gf wants me to stop me getting into depressive moods and make more of an effort to make the first moves or she will dump me. And then her friend also told me that she also liked another 2 guys and she things my gf is just using me.
But when i was 1st goin out with her i have neva been as happy and im not sure i wanna give up on her and thus lose that happiness.
What do u think? am i just being stupid?
and if u think i should dump her please tell me.
How?
(link)
| |
I think you should dump her. Tell her you know about the other two guys, and you don't want to be a pawn in her twisted little game. She should get the point. Also, then try to feel better. Do some things with your friends and just hang out, because you don't want to become actually depressed. It sucks, trust me.

Ok, here's the deal. I have this boyfriend I have been with since 7th grade. We know each other very well, and are really comfortable around each other. But last winter his parents split up and he got mixed up with the wrong crowd, started doing drugs, starting ruining his life in general, and not to mention ruining our relationship not only as a couple but as I see him. He started blowing me off, not calling, not keeping promises, point blank..doing drugs. So we broke up for awhile, and I met this really great other guy. We talked about everything, and it evetually lead into a relationship. He was really laid back and we had lots of good times together. But to be honest, i couldn't open up to this kid as much as the other one. I was very standoffish and I couldn't like him to the point where I wanted to be more than just friends. He was very sweet to me and would do anything for me. He was the total opposite of what the other kid was, my old boyfriend is very protective of me and gets jealous and mad vey easily. so that was just what I needed. So, a few things happened, I cheated on this kid with my old boyfriend, and I needed to break up with him. I feel like such a bad person because he is such a good guy. After awhile, my old boyfriend went to Florida to figure out who he was and get more self respect for himself. While he was down there he would call me every single night. I was the only thing he had to hold onto. Now he's back up here, and I've hung out with him, but I'm not convinced he's changed and I don't want him to go back to his old ways. I am in love with this kid because we basically grew up together, but in some ways I feel like I made the wrong decision. Sometimes I feel like I should have gone with the other kid. I need some GOOD advise because I have been thinking about this for a long time.
PLEASE HELP, thank you* (link)

Okay, for your long question, a long answer. You need to talk to him, about EVERYTHING. How you feel about his drug shit and what not. You shouldn't feel bad about not being with tht other guy, because if you didn't feel the same way for him that he did for you, than it wasn't fair to keep going out with him.(But cheating was wrong) Now, your old boyfriend. If you really like him and what not, then you should be with him. He is after all just what you said you needed. If he changes back though, try to help him find himself again. He really probably just needs that someone, because probably when y'all broke up, he just went deeper into things because you were his only hope. I have a friend who is the exact same way. And, if you can't keep him from doing all the drugs and such, then you should tell him that you can't be with him if he does it, you've tried to help him, and you don't want him to hurt himself like that, but he just won't. He will get the point. If you also don't try to help him, he could REALLY hurt himself. Not just with drugs. So, point being, don't feel bad about the other guy. Talk to your old boyfriend and help him out. He needs you more than you think. Hope it all works out, do let me know, and e-mail me if you need anything else.

Okay my question might be kinda long but there is this guy in my grade and i really like him and we're like best friends.. he tells me that somedays he likes me and other days he doesnt and then one night he kissed me and he told me how much he liked me and now i just cant stop thinking about him and i just really like him but its summer and i dont think he feels the same way as i do anymore but i dont want to ask him like straight up if he still likes me or not but when my friend asked him if he still liked me he said he didnt know. I know that he's interested in other girls right now but it seems like when ever he's around me he really likes me a lot and only me.. I'm really confused and i need advice.. please help! (link)
| |
Well, he's probably attracted to you, but you really do need to ask him staright up if he likes you. Honestly, he'll have to answer to you, and if he says he doesn't know, tell him that you need to know. Believe me, I was in the same situation, and askign them straight up lets them know that you need an answer. Hope it all works out.

OK so there's thig guy I like. I've liked him for like3 or 4 years. Now he met this girl whos like completley gorgeous and they make out and stuff like all the time. I think he might like her. I think he knows I like him, but what do I do? (link)
|
Well, let's hop ehe likes her, because if not the making out is totoally inappropriate. Well, if he knows you like him, you can't do much more except continue to show your intrest and hope for the best. Also, find out where he stands on this other girls, because that will have a lot to do with what goes on between you two.

Continue to flirt with him and screw the other girl. If he likes you, it will eventually happen. Age doesn't matter AT ALL. Trust me. Things will even out. Good luck.

Ok so on Friday i am going to my freinds house for a "movie night" we're going to paly volleyball outside earlier and then later we're going to watch hide and seek. well no big deal. she invited 4 guys and 3 girls (shes the 4th girl). well its kinda like a paired off thing. she invited couples. except for me. she invited this guy. i kind of like him i guess. same with him. he told my freind he kind of likes me. well i dont know i thnk it's goign to br really weird. because all the other people are goign ot be with their girl/boyfreind and then there will be me and this guy. i like him and all but i dont know i think it will be weird.and im kind of worried that he's gonna like try something, because thats just the the kind of guy he is...so i guess i dont know what to do.
((14/f)) (link)
| |
Well, if you want it to happen, let it. If not, just talk, and if he tries something you don't want, tell him you're not even going out, but you would eventually like for that to happen (if you want it to). Just be upfront about what you do and don't want if he tries to pull stuff. Hope it all workes out.
|
ok. me and my boyfriend have been going out for a while now. probably about 2 months. and it seems like we don't talk as much as we used to. its like we get all nervous around each other and we can't seem to start a conversation xcept when we're on aim. i know thats sad. does anyone have any advice on this one??
thx. x0x0 (link)
| |
Well, you can ask him what he did that day, (hopefully he would have done something) and then elaborate on something tha the did, and you can talk about it, which will probably eventually let you remeber some stories to tell, etc.

ok im 13 years old and a girl and my sister just got me this baby-sitting job. Its for a 8 or 9 year old i dont know if its a boy or girl though she hasnt told me. But i was wondering what i could do to keep them entertained and busy for a the few hours that i'm with them. I mena i really need the money and i dont want to screw this up and end up gettin the job takin anyway. so please help me thanx everyone. (link)
| |
Well, just watch TV with them, cook them food, play a few games, and what not. It's simple, don't stress about it. Also, ask your sister what they are like, so you have an idea of what to do.

On Saturday night I went to my best friend, Sidonie's party. A guy that she broke up with a month or so ago was there and I really liked him. We ended up kissing and the next day he asked me out, I said yes. Now I'm not so sure if I made the right decision by saying yes to him. For a start, I just feel like his rebound girl. When my best friend broke up with him he was very upset and I don't think he's fully over her. He keeps saying things like "You're so much like Sidonie." Which is kind of irritating and off putting. Secondly, I hardly know him and I wont be able to see him much as he lives on the other side of my city. I do like him but I'm not so sure if I want to just be his rebound girl, should I break up with him or see how it goes? (link)
| |
Well, you should see how it goes, and eventually you will see if he still likes her. Also, if he keeps saying things like "you're just like Sidonie", then break up with him.

ok i got a boyfriend that i love with all my heart. we talk on the phone everynight.. we talk from 10:30 until 1 sometimes 3 in the mornin and when we talk we basically talk about nothin but i love doing it except my mom doesnt like. last night she took the phone away from me and wouldnt even let me say bye. and i need to figure out how i can still talk to him at that time of night without gettin in trouble?? it isnt because i dont i call waiting on my phone and i dont know why she complains.. it shouldnt bother her she is usually sleepin during that time.. and plus it is summer and i dont have school the next day.. i would like to know some way so that i can get the phone and talk to my boyfriend without gettin in trouble?? thanks. (link)
| |
Take the phone, and make sure that you call him. Then, go in the closet or something to that affect and you can talk to him all the time, just make sure every once and a while that your mom is still asleep.
