My name is Chelsea, I'm 17 & a senior in high school. I like giving advice and helping people in general. I have the most experience in areas like family issues, dealing with friends and losing friends, pregnancy scares, and moving. I've made mistakes and learned from them. That's where my experience comes from. So why not help someone in the same situation that you've already been in? I'll try to do just that, and if you have a question don't hesitate to ask!

I know this sounds totally gross but since I'm from Sicily Italy and i have really dark brown hair. There is almost black hair on my arms and I dont like to wear t-shirts cuz it shows off my arms and im afraid someone might say something. What can I do? (link)
| |
my friend has the same problem and she shaves her arms.. till theres like no hair there. i duno that seems a little awkward to shave your arms to me but if you want to and it would make you feel better then go for it!

a guyy and i were really good friends and he said he was gonna ask me out and stuff and then he asked out some other girl!!! now he tells all my friends he likes me a lot and when i asked him if this was true he said yes and then said he is just going out with her to see if he really like me so i dont have to waste my time.... should i just give up even though i like him a lot? (link)
| |
i think you should tell him that you really like him & that if he really likes you as much as he says he does then he will ask you out instead of that other girl hes with. good luck

Ok heres my question: I'm so sorry if it's confusing. Let's say your sister(if you have one) has a friend from school that's a guy and she sees him everyday when he's there and he calls her once in a while and talks to her on the phone. Well, what would you do if one night you and your sister's friend started talking on the phone and really started to like each other? Then what if he asked you out? Would you go out with him even though you have never seen what he looks like? (link)
|
I would meet him first. You already got to know him, so you obviously like him for his personality. But I would meet him in person anyway before I said yes

ok.... so there's this boy who i THINK fancies me. We hang out in the same group of friends and i've been to a few sleepovers with him, but the problem is he's in year 9 - 2 years younger than me. i'm a really youg in year 11 though so the age thing shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure how i feel about him, but i'm thinking that i might like him... Argh i don't know what to do! if i do go out with him then people at school will start talking... i dont even know if i like him like that but im sooooo confused
help!
(link)
|
if you like him then the age difference won't matter. and what other people think about you & him shouldn't make a difference, if you like him then go for it. if you don't then theres no purpose in asking him out
=)hope i helped

I am in middle school right now, and I don't have many friends. Like I'm not shy or anything, but I don't hang out with a lot of people. Do you think when I go to highschool (next year) I will have more friends? Or is it just me? (link)
|
Next year at highschool you'll most likely have a lot more friends than you do now. In highschool you meet so many new people, and I know where I go, the friends that I was around all the time during middle school I barely get to see anymore during school. So i meet a lot of new people

ok here it goes: ok..i LOVE to write stories, poems, and song lyrics..like it's fun (the idea of doing it). I try but i just dont get anything good. Any tips?? thAnKs (link)
|
Write about something that you've experianced or whatever is on your mind at the time. That makes it more personal and something that you can relate to, because it's your life.

I'm 13 M and I was recently talking to my friend (13 F) when she told me that she liked me. I had a crush on her for about a year now and so i was excited when we talked more i thought that she really liked me. But then when we talked again she told me that she liked me but that she liked my friend better. See the thing is i can't stop thinkin of her and i dont know what to do.
Thanks for any help! (link)
| |
Aww, man that really must hurt. Maybe try talking to your friend about it. Does your friend like her too? Ahh this is a tuffy. Talk to the girl you like and tell her that you really like her, and it hurt you to have her tell you that she liked your friend more. I really hope I helped you =)

ok when im with my friends i always say tha tlike the jocks & stuff r hot.. which they r and alot of the times ill like them.. but when it comes to actually likin sumone and being in relationships i choose the guys that my friends think r not hot.. like i go for personality not looks... a good body is just a plus.. and my friends r always like y r u with him, hes ugly, u could do so much better., but i dont want to do better i like the guys that im with... how can i make my friends see that id rather have a guy with a soso body & a great personality than a guy with a great body but cant even make me laugh...???
average people liker...... (link)

Just tell them how you feel. And you're deffinately doing the right thing. It is tons tons better to have someone who you are compatable with then someone who is just good looking. So tell you friends that, and hopefully they will understand where you're coming from. =)
Hope I helped

what do i do here...
i wish that my parents would get a devorce at
points. there a very unlikely couple i guess u could say and i really dont like my dad that much...he walks around with no shirt on, beer belly, and the house that we moved into i have to walk through there room to get to my room and its really annoying when i have friends over. my parents get into fights a lot and i go into my room and cry and my mom thinks im stupid for doing that, like she thinks i exagerate. in the summer my mom just works on the weekends and leaves me home with my brother and dad which i hate. my dad will buy me practically anything i want-cellphone, trampoline but i think he just gets me all this stuff bc he thinks i love him more or something. and i feel worse for my brother bc he has to put up with even mor eof his crap. i so scared im going to grow up like my dad or something. please help...tell me, am i being a brat? (link)
|
that sounds exactly like my family, i know what youre going through. just talk to your mom when shes home and tell her how you feel. shell probably understand. but then again, you have to realize that he is your dad and no matter what you will love him and he will love you, so even if there are times that you want to slit his throat, deep down you still love him. try to remember that and hopefully everything will work out
i hope i helped you.

my brother just hit me so bad and it was for like no reason my whole face started bleeading he took a shoe and started hiting me with it and started pulling my hair i hate him so much..i was so close 2 calling the cops but i just couldnt wat should i do i really started hating him! (link)
| |
tell your parents!! thats abuse and brothers dont do that kind of crap. even if youre parents wernt home.. call them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like this one guy aand I know he likes me. How do I tell him how I feel? Should I wait untill he makes the first move because that is what I think I should do. Im to afraid to tell him myself (link)
|
I think you should tell him yourself. Guys arent always going to make the first move, and if he deffinetly likes you back then whats the harm?
good luck
|
|
ok well ill get rite to the point. my friend asked me out like 3 weeks ago and i sed no. but no that i come to think of it i think i should have sed yes. but my sis says that i should just go ask him out but i told her that its to late and he prolly doesnt like me ne more. wut should i do? i dont wanna ask him out cuz i gess im scared that he would say no. (link)
|
ASK HIM OUT ASAP!!!!!!!!!! You will never know if you dont. and if he asked you out already then GO FOR IT!!! he has to like you still, at least a little bit!! You will miss out on something great if you dont.. so go for it babe!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay..my friend.she gets treated soo bad..and her boyfriend just dumped her and seh cried for like a whole day..and other people..there so mean to her..and im just bout sick of it..i hate seeing her like this, and now..sehs saying that seh cuts herself..and seh does all this stuff..and ive tried talking to her..she just says that everythings messed up and will never be the same..she just does all of this over a boy that doesnt like her..ive talked to her plenty of times..i just dont kno what to say to her anymore..what should i do? (link)
|
tell her how much her friends and family care about her. convince her to talk to someone about the cutting because that isnt healthy for her. and tell her how everything WILL get back to normal it just takes some time to get over things.
hope i helped you, good luck

i have a problem with trusting my friends. i know it sounds weird but its tru. i mean like i know i can trust them sometimes but then they have times when they are so hyper they tell everyone everything about me and wut i have told them. wut do i do? i dont think i should trust them anymore but i want to. (link)
|
Everyone runs into this once and a while. If theyre your friends then they wont tell anyone something that you really dont want anyone else to know but them. When they are hyper and goofy, try to avoid getting into telling them secrets and what-not.
good luck, hope i helped

i dont think im grl friend material. i dont know why i guess i just think that. does anyone have any ways that i could become more grl friend material. im 14. (link)
|
well dont put yourself down like that. and if you dont have a ligitimate reason then why do you not think youre girlfriend material? Have you ever had a boyfriend? If not then just be your self around guys you like. I couldnt say that enough times, just ** be yourself ** then everything will work out eventually.
good luck!!
