OK i like this guy and he is really cool and funny and all we ca even say ilove you to each other and its ok.. He is in 7th grade and i'm in 8th but we are really good friends like we go to the movies and he calls me all the time and talk about nothing for 2 hours or more.Once he told me that he liked me and i said i liked him too but he hasn't done anything like ask me out. I like him and i want to ask him out but at the same time i just want to be friends and not ruin our friendship. But heres the thing he is the weirdest, most geekest guy in 7th grade everybodys told me but he is my friend and i can't just turn my back on him like that and people think he is gay too. HELP what should i do. (link)
well don't listen to what oter people say . i know it mighgt be hard but... if you really like him go for it! ask him out


Hi, I'm currently a freshman in my second semester in college and unfortunately I find myself struggling in my Chemistry II course. Right now my current grade is a 66% (a C- or lower grade at the end of the semester is failing). I work my butt off in that class but I find myself not being able to grasp the concepts so well where there are so many equations that come in different forms and it just doesn't make sense to me. My question is whether or not you think I should drop the class and retake it this summer or fall or do you think I should keep trying?

Also, what I'm studying for is Pre-Pharmacy and I was wondering if anyone knew how selective pharmacy schools are in selecting their scholars? How strict are their guidelines?

Thanks! (link)
ask your professor about the stuff you don't get and if you still don't get the concepts, drop it.


im really worried about my best friend she sleeps with anyone and anything that moves last week she slept with 5 different guys than last night at a party she slept with 3 guys gave head to 1 and let that guys brother go down on her and hooked up with my close mate now she saying she wont hang around me unless i change im out of ideas of things to do. (link)
you really need to talk to her about it that is not good! she could get pregnant! not only that but she wouldn't know who the father is. but if she says that she isn't going to change you need to talk to someone! butt if u don't want to find a new friend.


hey sorry if this is dumb or long but i went out with this guy for seven months (don't get the wrong idea we didn't talk or anything and never saw each other so we never broke up) but finally he got his friend to ask if we could just be friends. but the problem is that was about a year ago (last january or december) and i haven't talked to him since this summer. when we were going out he'd always say goodbye with one of those :-* smiley faces and then last time i talked to him he did that when he had to leave but said lol after it. i don't know if that means maybe he still wants to be friends or something but i still would like to talk to him evey so often atleast but how should i go about doing that? alot of my friends hate him and he knows it and would it be awkward if i just started talking to him? because i don't want him do be wierded out or anyhting.
sorry if that is a dumb question. (link)
just talk to him! if he really wants to be friends he won't be weirded out by it at all. he might be surprised but hey, it dosen't matter.


i straighten my hair just about every day and its starting to get pretty damamaged. my hair is thin and wavy, and 4-6 inches past shoulder length. please let me know if you have any suggestions! thanks!!! (link)
you could try a bun or somthing like that.


In high school, we get to choose which language we want to take- French or Spanish. I signed up for Spanish, but I'm having second thoughts. I like French a lot more, but I want to do what's best for me. Does anyone have any pros or cons for taking a certain language, or just general advice on what I should do? Thanks! (link)
well you could take spanish one year and french the next.


me and my family are fighting alot lately.. I have a really bad attitude! and I need help! please give me advice! FAST! I'll try anything! (link)
look i have the same problem. try to go to your room and cool off walk around take deep breaths. if they won't let you leave tell them that you need to cool off and that you will talk about it later calm and rationaly.


ok well my best friend is/was having a HUGE bday party for herself (shes got a huuuuge house, an amazing pool and her parents said that max was like 60) so yeah everyone looks forward to her partys.. and ya know how it is in high school.. you cant go to a party like this without having someone to "hook up" with.. thats just how it is.. so me and this guy planned to hook up and blah blah blah.. you know how that goes.. well the party kinda got canceled and so now me and this guy are just "talking" about doin stuff like goint to the movies or w.e and "hookinh up" there but the thing is we have been talking a lot now and i think i like him.. (wich i knew this was gonna happen :/ ).. and hes telling ppl he likes me (a little) so thats a high point.. BUT (and theres always a BUT) :/ theres another girl.. that hes like IN LOVE with.. but this girl has a bf and has for a looong time now, but this bf goes to a different school then her so her and this guy i like act like they are together at school, but outa school she just totally ignores him when shes around her bf (gay huh?) and i dont go to the same school as the guy i like or this girl, and ive never met her either but everyone tells me shes really not all that pretty.. so yeah im just wondering.. should i take him out.. just me and him and show him who i really am and try to steal him away from this "other girl" and make him change his mind to want me?.. or what? (link)
yes invite him to a movie or somthing so he can know the real you. then let him decide if he wants to go out with you.

I am going to a school dance on thursday (tomorrow). I don't know what to wear, however. It's a pretty casual thing. I also have no clue how to dance...some one please help! i rate high. (link)
i am a girl so i think i know what you should do. wear somthing nice but not too dressy. and as for dancing just move to the beat of the music.


hi, it's very weird...I think I'm happy now. It's been a week that I think my life miraculously became better. My relationships with my friends and family improved..But my dreams are the same: sad, dark, disturbing. With common themes like: mean men, men who treat me like only a sex object or have lust for me, rejection and abandonment, not being good enough, and death or running away....I've been having bad dreams since I was a child (5 yrs old?) and lately, 18-20 yrs old the dreams became more clear, vivid and the frequency of bad dreams increased.

I've been reading self-help since I was 16, and now I'm already 20, and it helped a lot, but I think it is not enough to solve my "issues" which clearly manifests in my dreams?

So, what do you think should I do to resolve my issues? what makes it hard is they are all in my "unconscious" mind so its hard to uncover them in the first place..or, maybe I haven't read the "right" book yet, if that's the case, what book should I read? (link)
you don't need a book you need to talk to a friend or family member about it. that is a very big problem. maybe you need to find a man that treats you like you deserve to be treated.


i usually pop my pimples and now i have alot of scars on my forehead, does anyone know any products that can get rid of scars? a product that are not that expensive and that i can easily get at a store

OK, my bestest friend, hes a guy and im a grl, i dunno if i love him...i call him all the time and we talk for hours, and ya, we love eachother, and we both know it, but my question is, how much? I'm not sure if he likes me that way, and I think i do, but i dunno...What should I do? (link)
simple ask him how much he likes you and if he likes you go out with him for a while and see how you feel.


i have a guy friend that i like for a while and i still do like him and he likes me one problem is that he gots a gf and we close and he always tells me that he loves me and we can talk for hours and not worry about who knows we talking but my question is is it a bad thing that he has more feeling for me and not his gf? plz help! (link)
tell him that if really loves you that he will break up with his gf and if he doesn't that there can't be anything between you cause it's not right.


Any tips on how to be more patient? It seems like when I'm waiting something that I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY want [lol] I cannot stop thinking about it. Any tips? (link)
try to think about somthing else or keep yourself busy.


ok i like this boy he likes me..we like eachother alot....and well i just heard my mom say on the phone to her friends that we are bf and gf..hello i never even knew that..what do i do..is she right..i mean we both gove eachother gifts...but i don't talk to him a lot in school (i do though) BUT i totally talk to him ALOT on line..i mean once we were talking untill......1 0 clock in the morning ( on the computer ) since..9 0 clock at night/....donno what to do! help (link)
ask him how far you are in your relationship and what he thinks about it. and see from him. then if you really like him ask him out but if not correct your mom.


I RATE 5'S FOR ANYONE WHO ANSWERS! I PROMISE!
ok.. right now i have a very small quantity of friendds... and my one BEST BEST BEST friend... well she's friends with my boyfriend and they're both on the same bus... so they spend a lot of time together... but i don't see my boyfriend as much as she gets to and yea im jealous of that because they are really tight... so she walks with me and him into school and thats like the only time i get to see him... and i never get to spend time alone with him in person cauz she's always there... and she knows i don't like that she always has to be there cauz ive talked to her about it... so now i wait for him at his locker in between 8th period and 9th period but only every other day cauz of my schedule.. and my friend got mad that i wasn't gonna wait with her anymore and i explained to her that i never really get to see him and i really wanna see him and she was like "so!!! i want you to wait with me!" but i said no! so today i was waiting at his locker and he came over and then my friend was right behind him... and she's like "Whats up?" and i got sooo upset because she always has to be there... and when some reason... when she's around i get really shy in front of my boyfriend and i don't say much and i don't know why... so she walked with us in the halls and he was barley talking to me... because me and him are both REALLY shy and since we don't get to see eachother alot... its hard for us to have a good conversation in person... but online... we talk for hours... so i got really upset and wouldn't talk to anyone for the rest of the day and i wanna talk to her about it... but i don't want her to get all upset because i value my time with my boyfriend since its very limited and i don't want her wasting it!!! im just sooo furious... please help... sorry its sooo long

p.s. i don't hang out with my boyfriend outside of school cauz he's one year younger than me (he;s in 6th grade and im in 7th) and his parents won't let him.
also, my friend said that the first time i have my boyfriend over my house i have to invite her cauz she wants to be there... and i told her i can't make any promises. (link)
i am sorry i have a similar problem. try to talk to your friend about it again and if that dosen't work try to talk to your bf about it when you can.


I'm not going through this but it's out of curiousity.
Some girl told me that she was cutting but that she was only leaving marks in her skin and wasn't getting right down to where it would start bleeding BUT where she marked her self after became swollen for a couple of days and was a red bump.
I asked someone about it and they said it was perfectly safe and should be happy she's doing that rather than actually cutting and someone else told me it's not AS dangerous but she could still do some harm to her self.
I didn't really understand how she could really hurt her self by making marks in her skin that later turned in to bumps so can anyone explain it a bit and/or tell me which person is correct.
thanks :)

tell someone like her parents or a teacher or somthing who can stop it
