I have a friend who I like very much, but who has a habbit of asking me to call her because she's feeling low at really incovenient times. I want to be there for her, but it becomes problematic when I feel I can't fairly say no when she asks me to call for a few minutes because she's feeling low, even it's like 1am. If it really was a few minutes, it would be fine, but once she has me on the phone she's impossible to let go, because every time I talk about having to be up in the morning she talks about how people always seem to let her down when she needs them. I do want to be there for her, but I do need to sleep too, and I simply can't survive on talking till 2am or later every night to get up at 7am. How can I be firm about needing to get off the phone without offending her?

just tell her that you're very sorry but you could only stay on for about 10 minutes because you have to get up early the next day. and if you keep talking on the phone with her later you'll never be able to get up. then tell her to get all of her problems out in 10 minutes and if she can't do that then you guys can talk a/b them later that day. Once 10 minutes is up if she's still talking then let her finish her sentence and then tell her that you need to go because you're really tired and u need to get up early. if she gets mad about that then she's the one being rude for not thinking about anyone else but herself.

Hey, I was on vacation n i lyked this guy that was always having sex n stuff n i dont talk to him ne more n my frens still do but they wont give me his number or sn. Now that i have a boifren my frens r saying hes asking about me n saying that he wants me to go outside my confort zone and do stuff with him if u noe wut i mean. but i still lyk him a lil bit but my fren told that to my boy fren n now there both questioning me? N i think its my frens fault but its mine too i think? wut shood i do?

Sounds to me like you have bad friends:-/ How could you like a guy who wanted you to go outside your "comfort zone" so he can get in your pants??:-/ I mean you don't even talk to him anymore, your friends do. How are you so sure they're not just making that up? If i were you i'd forget a/b that guy and start worrying about your b/f at the time. You get to see him more and plus it didn't sound like he wanted you to do anything you wern't willing to do at the time.

Ok heres the problem.. my friend got her peroid in 5th grade.. so she gets it normally now.. but when she was supposed to get it this month she didnt.. She never had sex.. what could be the problem?

she could have a change in her diet or have an infection. or something else could have happend but it's nothing to seriouse. now if she skips another month again then she should go see her doctor bc it could be an infection

My husband is almost 40, I am just 34. We have been married 10 years but have known each other for 18 years. Sex was always good between us. Lately we haven't had any. I keep asking him if there is someone else in his life because a man can't go as long as he does without it. He says no, he just doesn't need it. I do and have considered leaving him because he doesn't meet my needs. When we do have it, it's almost like it's a chore for him. How can I deal with this? Is it possible there is someone else?

Viagra:-) that'll put him in the mood

im 16/f and i really like this boy but hes in a younger grade then me. hes still older than me because he got held back. he really likes me and wants us to hook up, but i dn, for some reason, the grade thing really bothers me...and i dont even know if im ready for a relationship. i like him most of the time, and other times he is a bit too immature...what the hell do i do?

don't do it! if you have to think about it and have these moodswings where one moment your happy about it n the next your not, then you're definitly going to be miserable if you guys try to start a relationship

Well...I met this girl name Jenni and we started talking and then my brother was single so I started to get them to talk since she's one of m oldest friends and I thought they'd hit it off... suprisingly they did...well a few months later...after they started going out...Jenni told me that she cheated on my brother...with one of her friends Roxie's brother Chad...and I know them too...Jenni swore up and down that they only made out...and I trust her...but I also promised I wouldn't tell my brother...well one night my sister was saying how my brother and Jenni made a pact that they could do whatever whenever with whoever and I was like Wut the heck...so me and my sister confronted my brother and told him about her cheating on my brother...the pact was made after she cheated on him...turned out my sister heard wrong...and they never made a pact...like that...should I have told my brother...or should I have not told my brother to keep Jenni's trust with me?

definitly you shoulda told your brother! for one thing he's family to you. and family *a good one* is always going to be there for you! also, if you were dateing one of your brother's good friends wouldn't you want to know if she was cheating on you? yea it was wrong of you to say something to him but it was also the right thing to do! n i think it was wrong of jenni to put you in a situation like that. so you definitly did the right thing

OK got a Terrior Mix puppy about a month ago. We've been training it to go outside the entire time. But it seems like at night he still has problems. When he potties in the floor, we spank him with a newspaper, and then take him straight outside. When hes good and potties outside, we give him a treat. But he still has accidents. Any suggestions on this? ty much.

he's still a puppy so he's still learning all of this. just give him time. a LOT of time

okay heres my story! me n my friend went to the beach together n i took her there for her birthday! and we met this guy who we both thought was hott there..i talked to him first cause she was too scared! and he is realli intrested in me and i'm into him too! but i don't wanna hurt my friend! and i feel bad now cause i told her i would take her to the mall when me n him went but i didn't..we went last night but she doesn't know we went cause i know shes gonna get mad! i don't know what to do cause i realli like him! and i've had rough relationships in the past and he feels right for me! and i don't think talkin is gonna do much good with her feelings so instead of talkin to her what else can i do?! i feel kinda bad..but i realli truely like hiM! he's a sweetie!
ugh! help me please! i'll rate high!

Ps:she is just a friend..not a best friend

well i say just go for him! i mean you were the one who talked to him first. that's her fault for being to scared. also, it's not like she had her eye on him first, you BOTH thought he was hott at the same time. now don't ditch your friend when you ask her to go do something w/you and your new guyfriend. but be honest with her about everything n maybe tell her something like "omg i really really like him!" if she gets mad then tough with her. you were brave enough to make the first move so why should that bother her?

My mom and I haven't been getting along very well lately. It's like she never lets me go anywhere anymore. I'm almost never allowed to hang out with my friends and I'm 13.. I'm at the time in my life when I need to be with my friends. I've tried talking to her but it doesn't seem to work. She told me that I'm a problem to her. I almost cried. I just replied "It's nice to know that your own kid is a problem," and I walked into my room. I just don't know what to do anymore. I lost my best friend because my mom didn't ever let me go to her house because the parents weren't home. I know she's just trying to protect me, but it's like she doesn't trust me. And she won't let me walk around outside when I'm with my friends. She says she doesn't know why I need to if we're just walking around and not going anywhere. I love her and all but I feel as if she doesn't understand me anymore. What do I do? I appreciate any help! Thank you!

what you need to do is set her down and have a nice long talk with her. tell her that you don't understand why she won't let you hang out w/your friends or go walk around the neighborhood with them. you're 13 years old and you're suppose to be having fun at that age. you dont have a best friend nemore bc she's too busy keeping you cooped up in the house and not letting you go visit your friend. you've never given her a reason to not trust you so why should she treat you like you're a bad kid all the time? after telling her all of your feelings you need to sit and listen to hers. that way after everything is said and done, you'll feel better for getting it off your chest, and maybe you 2 can work something out:-) good luck w/everything!

i'm 16/f and am totally confused my the actions of my recent ex-boyfriend. We recently had a discussion and he really said some things that threw me totally off. First off, the reason he dumped me was because he said he didn't love me anymore and that really hurt. Alright, well then today he tells me that he wants to be careful of other guys and he flipped out when he heard i was interested in another guy, then he tells me he still cares about me, and that he has to tell me something that's very important, but doesn't wanna tell me because he's afraid that it'll screw stuff up. I don't know what this stuff is, but anyway, I really need some help! I think my ex doesnt want me to be with other guys and wants me to be devoted to only him! What should i do??!?!?!?

it sounds to me that he's the jealoue type where as you have to still have feelings for him and only him, but he doesnt have to still have feelings for you. until you know what he's going to tell you *which is prolly that he misses you loves you and wants you back* you should stay interested in this new guy. if your ex does decide to come crawling back to you, then just follow your heart in the decision you're going to make

13/f ok i was going out with my bf for like 2 or 3 years. we broke up last year and he started going out with this one popular girl. she's a real snot to everyone except her "popular" friends and i don't see why he likes her. he's been kinda checking me out this summer and he's in my class this year and she's not. is there any way that i could get him to like me again??? i really need help with this! (he's not the bad boy type he's more the nice guy type) help!!

well if he broke up with you and started going out w/her do you really want him back? i know it's hard bc you guys went out for soooooo long! but i mean if he can move on than you can too. there's other guys out there waiting to treat you the way you should be treated. yes there's going to be some heartbreaks along the way, but that's life. and what doesnt kill ya makes ya stronger

anything that has color treated on the bottle. use a shampoo and conditioner that is used for colored hair. it'll help your color to last longer and you'll be able to wash it all the time w/out damaging it:-)

I was wondering if you kept a journal? I do on my computer. If you do have a journal what do you write in it? Can you give me something out of your journal to give me an idea. If not that's ok. But if you can I would love it. But I think my journal is just plain boring. But please help if you can.

Thanks!

I used to keep a journal but i really don't use it nemore. only when im having a really bad day and i gotta get sum things off of my chest. if you wanna know what you can write in a journal, use it when ur really angry or feeling really sad. or maybe if something good happend to you that day, like u found out ur crush likes you back, then write that down. it's all gotta be from your mind and no one elses

A friend of mine has recently put on some extra weight, yet she continues to wear the same clothes that are obviously to small for her. While in her bathing suit she said she didn't understand why it was so small, and that it must have shrunk. I don't know if she realizes the truth or if she is in denial.

I am her good friend, should I tell her the truth of what I am thinking, and if so how do I do it without hurting her feelings?

hm...yea that would be hard:-/ maybe you could just tell her that you want to go exercise sometime and maybe she should go along with you for the company? and whenever you're around her you can eat healthy foods. but if you really want to be straight up with her then juss confront her. tell her that you're not trying to be mean but she has been putting on a few pounds lately and that's why her clothes arent fitting her right. good luck with everything i hope i helped out at least a little bit

ok, my friend did this project in health class, and she used this article (i think it came from the newspaper). It was a 5 year old and she was pregnant! Is that possible or is it just a lie? (but newspapers dont really lie..so??)

i doubt that's true:-/ the 5 year old would have to be a VERY early bloomer!! bc the only way you can get pregnat is if you're ovulating. n most 5 year olds dont ovulate at that age. plus she would have to have sex! and unless she was raped i'm sure she wouldn't go out and find a guy to have sex with. so i highly doubt that story was true...
