this will be very long. so please just read it and help me ok? good?

well it all started back in well like april. i met my best friend's cousin and i had a crush on him. but the summer before that he was forced to move out of state to live with his dad. so i mean i liked him but i didnt see anything coming out of it. then that july he came back for the summer. and on my best friend's birthday me her and him went bowling. that was fun but to the bathroom and they set me up! when i came back he "got up to go get a drink" and she told me that he liked me and wanted to know if i liked him... so i was like heck yah i do! well since we were having so much fun we all spend the night at my friend's house (her, him and me) and she went to bed at like 2 AM and me and him stayed up late and well we started kissing and stuff and all we did was kiss but i really liked him and the next week he had to leave for his dads and the summer was over. we talked on the phone for a while back and forth but becuz he hates it down there he makes himself really busy so that he never has to be at the house. but before he left on the day he was leaving i took this rubber band of his hand and was popping him with it. when he was leaving i tried to give it back to him but he told me to keep it. so i did and then later when we talked on the phone we made a bet. that i could/couldnt keep up with it until he came back for christmas. and me being me said "i need a bf" and he siad "well if/when i get to move back there you'll have one" i was like yay! but the thing is i am not good with waiting. so i have a bf now and all that. and i love my bf and wouldnt dump him for her cousin. so when he comes back for christmas (in about 2 weeks) what do i do???? do i give him that rubber band back? (yes i still have it) can me and him be friends without the akwardness? i want to be friends do you think he will? i am in love with my bf but i still have a thing for this other guy. i will not let myself lose my bf. but well advice please! (link)
yeah give him back his rubber band and of course you can be friends. if you feel ok with it but if you have feelings for him then break up with your current bf now so things dont get messed up n crap. If you truly love ur bf then tell him honestly whats going on and if hes ok with it. Don't assume your friends cousin still had a thing for you cause it might have been just a one time thing. Long distance relationship is hard to keep up since you never know whats going on in the other person life. this decision is up to you. I can't tell you who to choose or wat to do dats all up to you no one can tell you who to go for except for you. But make sure your friends cousin still likes you before you make your final decision.

(link)
Try a different brand. A clear gel solid might work.


My boyfriend, of almost 2years, just broke up with me. I am going out tonight with my best girl Kate, and we are going bowling. Is that a good Idea?

What should I do to keep my mind off of it? And what shouldn't I do?

Ofcourse! take some time off and take your mind off him to move on and get over it. Hanging out with ur bestfriend is great.


I am a shy teen girl in high school and I recently meet a guy and I felt an instant connection, but I'm not sure if he did. It seems like he likes me but I'm not sure. He has asked me about my interests and I've caught him looking my way in the corner of my eye more than a couple of times, it seems like he kind of does that to everyone else though. I just don't want to be shut down. Should I make a move and also how so? (link)
Don't do anything until ur abosolutely positively sure. Get to know him better. Ask him out not lyk bf/gf thing but to the mall or movies in a group or just the 2 of you.


Whats the difference between 'making love' and having sex?? thanks.. (link)
It's basically the same thing one is jsut more of a 'proper' way i guess you can call it.


O.K.
I am a good writer and I LOVE writing shor stories. I am 13/f. I was looking for a new topic to write about but no one has any ideas. I like writing about reality... meaning I don't like to write fantasies. For example, I don't write about dwarfs, dragons, elves, etc. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had a summary or something of something yall have heard or something so I can turn it into a story. Much appreciation.
I rate high! (link)
How about a story about a typical highschool. Since you'll soon be going to one, it would be nice to write what you think a highschool is.


I recently broke up with my long term boyfriend, that just recently moved back up here from Florida. He moved to Florida because he was having serious problems with his life, (getting into drugs and things) and I was happy he moved because he broke my heart several times while he was doing these things. while he was in Florida, i didn't feel like waiting around, which is a normal feeling of any girl. I hung out with other guys that he wasnt too thrilled about. But he always forgave me, even when I told him I was going to a prom with another guy, (that he hates)... and I even cheated on him.. twice. And he knows that. Now idk why I did those things because I am completely and totally in love with him. I think it was because to see if I wanted anything else out there. Well, anyways, we got over that part of our lives, and now hes back up here. About a month ago,we got into a very very serious car accident together. I was the driver, and it was very hard on me mentally because it wasnt a fender bender. (We are dealing with that in process.) I felt like he'd always be there, but like any guy, he moved on very quickly and started talking about things i couldnt believe he was talking about. We were good for about a week after that, and then I started getting really paranoid. I am very nervous when he is up here. About what hes doing, who hes hanging around with.. I never trusted him. Then, he started skipping school everyday, simply because "he didnt feel like coming". I started getting pissed because obviously that was the first sign of him changing back into his old ways. So, we broke up.. and then I hung out with another boy. He found out, now hes telling people we broke up because I hung out with the boy, not that hes an immature ass hole who wants to screw up his life. He calls me his mother for wanting for him to come to school, but I just think I'm one of the few who actually cares about him. But now, I don't know what to do... because now hes putting on that act like, ...'I'm never going to be with you again, but I still want you to want me'... Personally I think thats bullshit and no girl EVER deserves that. But, I cant not take bullshit from him because.. I've been with him for so long and I love him so much, even when hes the biggest ass hole. I feel like I need support from this accident and he's the only one I can share it with because he experienced it with me. None of my friends understand what its like to go through a huge tramatic thing in your life and not have many people to talk about it with. I know I should be giving up on my exboyfriend.. but I dont want to. I want to be with him more than anything in the world because when I am, I feel 10 times more happier about myself. I dont know if its a personality disorder or if I'm just pure crazy. I need advise, fast


.. I know its long but please I need help

Dear stressed out,
True, it is very hard to get over someone especially someone who you've been with for quite some time. But if you two already broke up and cheated and did everything else wrong, then maybe it wasn't meant to be. Everything happens for a reason right? If you guys really loved eachother you would be there for eachother always. I'm not saying it wasn't worht it or you're bad people, all I'm saying is if you it didn't work out from time to time then it wasn't meant to be, move on. It's gonna be hard...real hard you're gonna think about him alot and your gonna want him back. But lets say time pasts by and BOTH of you want to give it another try then you can but don't rush on back to him because you're just experiencing some break-up after math. And let's say that you do want to get back with him, does he? Does he truely care for you and promise to not do any more bad things to you? Just take a whiel to think about, not a couple of days or weeks, this process could take months. But really think.


My boyfriend & I were on the phone a few nights ago & everything was fine. Then I started talking about a dream I had where we broke up & he seemed to be interested in what happened. I was worried he was going to break up with me so I said "As for breaking up in the near future..." & I realized a few days later that putting 2 and 2 together, it sounds like *I* wanted to break up with him. A little bit after that he called me back & started saying how he talked to his dad & he wanted to slow things down. Then by the end of the night we had no more relationship. I know this is hard to explain but the next day we talked & I said I still had feelings for him & I didn't want him to think I wanted to break up. He told me neither did he but he did it because it got scared & now it sounds like a good idea to him. Needless to say, I want to get back together. I can't believe this has ended, it really affected me & I want things back to normal. What should I do? I've already tried talking it out with him & I admited that I still like him but it feels like he's not gonna bounce back. He wants to be best friends but I'm not sure if I can be JUST his friend... (link)
If he really doesn't want to give it another shot, don't force maybe somewhere in he near future you could try it again but not now because he's too confuse and there's too much pressure. Keep being friends with him because a relationship has a friendship base. You guys cn still hang out maybe not on a date but you still could go to the mall, see a movie, or watch a game. Just take it easy for now.


I usually get acne around my t zones a lot. I get it in between my eyebrows, all over my nose, lips, and chin. I have clearasil cleansing pads and I use them every night. I also use Neutrogena deep clean and I use oxy when it gets bad. There is never a time when I don't have pimples!! I always feel discusting in some way although a take good care of my skin. How can I solve this? Would a dermetologist prescribe pills for someone who doesn't have MAJOR acne probs like me?? I don't get it really bad, just it looks gross! Also, what products could help me out with this? (link)
Use only one product because using many different kinda of product will cause your irritate and break out even more. Also the foods you eat can effect the way you skin, hair, n nails look. Eat lots of fruits and veggies try to limit the chips, sodas, candies, and cake. Seeing a dermatalogist could help you see what's really going on and yes there are pills for acne but is perscribed because different problems calls for different medications. Just wash you face 2-3 times a day(morning, after pe/lunch, dinner). Don't cover yourself up with concealer so much.Commercial or store bought brands may not always get the job done ask what your doctor reccomends or perscribes.

Theres this new kid this year. Hes a sophmore and im a freshmen. Well i kinda really like him .. a lot. Hes on my bus, in 2 study halls, language, science, and 4 outta 6 lunches. Well i liked him. And im like really shy around him but usually im really outgoing. Only today in lunch .. i was like .. Hey yooh, got a pen ? .. he sits at the table next to me =) Like .. next to me ! Hehe .. but anyway. I like him and I really dont know what to say to him. The only things hes said to me was answering something i asked my friend and he asked what my name was . Ya .. so like .. i have study hall with him monday .. and me and my friend might go up to him ( he sits alone in that study hall) and be like .. You look lonely , want us to sit with you ? IS that a good idea ? Well im sorta frieds with this girl who he sits with / i guess theyre friends.. but i go to a lot of sports games like volley ball and so does she.

Ok well i dont know what else to say so any other tips or advice youve got id love to hear ..

REPLY TO GET COOKIE ! (link)
Yeah sit with him, get to know him better, talk to him about anything even the most randomest and weirdest thing. Ask him for help on your work even if you know how to do it. At lunch sit with him but not next to him but in the same table. Try giving some space but hint your way in.

Talk it out with her. Maybe you two have grown apart. Lots of friends in life will weather good or best of friends. See whats up in her life that's making her act different.


What are ways to boost my self-esteem? (link)
Join a sport, club or group to build your motivation especially sports help you out alot b/c you strive to win.


I'm a Junior (16) and male. Never had a girlfriend; i'm the outspoken-nerd stereotype. Somehow everybody thinks I have a social life, don't know where they got that idea.
Anyway, there's this girl (we'll call her Kylie). She's heavily into music theatre (as am I), and we're both pretty good, so that's plenty of starting ground. To say I have feelings for her would be an understatement. At this point, I get lost. I don't know where to go from here because I've never had a girlfriend before and don't really know exactly what the procedure is (if there even is one). I've (perhaps unwisely) tried to keep my distance while remaining friendly as I've had too many experience getting on the "friends" list for life. In addition, I am really (really) scared of hurting her. She means the world to me, and I don't use that phrase lightly. A positive comment can literally make my day.

Anyway, I guess I need to know what to do from here. Some specific examples would be nice... what has worked for you. Keep in mind that I'm not at all the agressive type. It would be best for any action on my part to be able to be interpereted several different ways, that way if I determine no interest I can feign some other excuse. Basically, anything that reveals my feelings without really revealing my feelings (as stupid as that sounds). Should I just become her friend and hope I don't get shoved in the friends abiss? I also want to go slowly. Very, very slowly, because I am about scared half to death here. Help me out!

Any thoughts? (link)
Tell her how you feel or start out slow. Ofcourse be her friend. All relationships have a friendship base. Ok lets fast forward now your friends now so ask her to hang out at the mall or see a movie or a game or something not a date just a hang out. Fast forward again... ask her out to a school social like homecoming, dances or somthing like that. IF you still wanna go out with her then just ask her tell her in all honesty how you feel. Hint it to her if you have to. Good luck...oh and by the way...HI is a nice start.


Are condoms 100% safe? (link)
There's no garantee. They could break at anytime when using one. They're not gonna protect you from lyk STd's or AIDS. IT could prevent you from getting pregnant but there's no garantee.


Is there any shampoo/conditioner/creams that can curl OR straighten your hair? I dont have time in the morning to curl or striahgten it so i was wondering if there was anything I could use in the shower or anything that would be quick. (link)
Shampoo Wash and curl it looks like the baby shampoo color from Johnsons but it works. Its pretty cheap and can be found @ almost any drugstore like CVS, Rite Aid, or Eckerds


My boyfriend and i been together for 11months, this month.we been having sex for about 7 months and i enjoy it and everything but... my boyfriend cant get me to have an orgasem. Don't get me wrong my boyfriend knows what hes doing and i enjoy it and everything. Is there something wrong with me? Should i go to the doctor?
im a 15 female. (link)
Maybe you're having one but you don't notice it. If your enjoying it then its probably right. I don't anythings wrong with you, if you want you could see a doctor but I don't think its necessary.


okay...theres this guy hu is in my school.... i have known him since like 2nd grade!! we are really good friends but ii like him a lot!! i am scared to tell him what i think of him because i dont want things to be weird around us. i talk to him on the phone a lot... and he told me the other day that my other friend likes him and hes thinking about asking her out!! ii keep on wondering if things would be different if ii just told him.... but ii just cant!! i am so much taller than him and ii guess u could say bigger than him too. ii mean im not fat but i am bigger than a lot of the boys..... this is why im so scared to tell him.. ii dont think he'll feel the same way!
PLEASE HELP I NEED MAJOR ADVICE!! (link)
Friends have to be honest with eachother. If you don't want to straight out tell him hint it to him. He'll figure it out eventually. Keep being firneds but lets say you told him and he hates you now, then thats not true friendship b/c friends will stick togehter no matter what. Invite him to hang out like malls or movies not on a date just a hang out.


Im moving and i get to paint my room whatever color i want, any suggestions? (link)
Your favorite color or a somethin to go with the theme of your room.


There's this boy I've liked for a long time, since Bush won his 2nd term (I'm 13/f, by the way). Over that time, we've become pretty good friends. Yesterday, he asked me who I liked and I wouldn't tell, because I didn't want him to know. Especially considering the fact that he just got a girlfriend (he's also 13). Then he kept begging and nagging and kept saying that he wouldn't tell anyone and that he keeps secrets well (I know that for a fact, but still I didn't want him to know). After a while, I decided to tell him, because if he kept it up, he'd find out eventually because if it seemed that I sincerely didn't want him to know (even though I've trusted him with other stuff), the truth would be very plain. So I told him, and I said I was sorry. He's really really nice, but I'm really worried that he thinks I'm an asshole. I don't know what to do! I've never liked anyone in my whole life. Do 13-year-old boys usually think their friends are assholes in this kind of situation? How can I stay friends with him? CAN I still stay friends with him? This is long and will most likely get rated down, but I don't have anywhere else to get help! And I know that problems of a 13-year-old aren't as important as questions asked by older people, but this IS an advice site, and the site IS open to 13-year-olds. (link)
Boys will always be boys. Keep being friends with him no matter what. If he thinks your an asshole then he's no good and isnt a true friend. Maybe in the end things will work out but keep being friends because what if he breaks up wit hhis gf then you might have achance and relationships start out as friend ship so keep being friends.
