Q: I am 16/m/uk..
My girlfriend of 15 months i have found out has lied to me again about the same thing..

When we first started going out and throughout our relationship i have tried very hard to get her to stop smoking.. there were various points where i was sure she had stopped but it turned out that she had done it a few times behind my back and tried to cover it up but i found out..
She is currently on holiday and my close friend has told me she smoked with him and she asked him to not tell me... Naturally as we are close he did tell me..

I love my girlfriend to bits but her constantly lying makes me feel like i can trust her.. and trust is very important to me..
This is around the fourth time she has lied about smoking and it has come to a point where i feel like our whole relationship is at stake because i cannot stand being lied to anymore...

What shall i do? is it best to end things? Will i be able to trust her yet again..

Thanks for any help

Sanj..

Tell her how you feel. Make her make a promise that she will not lie to you again. Then if she does break it off. [All the help I can give]

Q: 15/f, sophmore.

ok, you know how there are different groups and stuff at school and everthing. like popular, then people everyone hate, and just kinda well i like you but then i dont kinda things? well, i wish i had more friends and had lots of people to hangout with and everything, like the popular kids. well i guess you could say im preppy, but not stuck up like some people are. dont get me wrong im not calling everyone stuck up im just saying there are some people that are. im 5'7 and people say im cute/pretty. the popular kids dont hate me, but we arent really friends. i talk to them ocasionally, but not much at all. and some of them seem really cool and nice. i just wish i was their friends and could hangout and have a blast with them. im kinda shy, and talk when i want to. but sometimes i talk to everyone. but most of the time im kinda shy, im not afraid to talk to new people really, i just dont or i like for them to talk to me first. so i guess what im asking, is how can i beccome friends with the more popular kids and make myself more outgoing, and not seem stuck up or mad or like a person you wouldnt like? high school is suppose to be the best, so i want to make mine that way. thanks. =D

well most popular people aren't really preps there just have more friends because they are outgoing. Just go up to them. Talk to them but don't say you like things you don't. It isn't as hard as it seems. In 6th grade i used to be preppy because I thought the popular kids would like me more. Turns out they like for you to be yourself. Most of my friends hate some of the things I like and we still get along great. I am friends with some popular people. What i am saying is you don't have to be popular to be happy. Just be happy and be yourself and everything will fall in to place.

Q: Ok, i dress cute of school and everything hoping that any guy would like to date me but no. I haven't ever really had a boyfriend and all my friends have them all the time. I think im pretty sometimes but no guys like me and i dont know why....i mean, i always act myself and so do my friends but they get all the guys and i just dont know why. I cant figure out the reason why. All my friends say "Well we r in high school, theres gotta be a guy that likes you." But there isnt...i just dont understand.

boys r weird. Most of them don't like to put theirselves out there in the case of rejection. Is there a certain guy you like. If so get to know him a little better. Guys won't date girls they barely know Unless she is absolutly perfect and we all know nobody is perfect. Once you get to know him better and you feel chemistry then go for it and ask him out. Hope I helped =).

Q: okay well how do you let a guy kno you dont want to go out with himm if he likes you a lot and you dont like him at all?!

gosh this is a tough one...if you guys are friends tell him you just like him as a friend and that would be like dating your brother...if he is not your friend then just say you don't know him that well. That's all the advice i have for you.

Hope I helped!

Q: 15/f

what is a good rap song for my myspace?

Party like a rock star

Q: school started like a week or so ago, and there is this guy who sits next to me in one of my classes, and i think he is so nice and irrisistable. I want to get his attention and be able to talk to him, and him want to talk to me. I have started one conversation about his favorate sport football, and it went well, but the thing is is that he is one of the really nice popular boys, and he probably gets this attention all the time. so i want to know how can i be that special girl? how can i be that one girl that he cant resist?

OMG i have the same problem. I'm 14 and a freshman and the guy i like is a junior and a football player...I see your problem(they are irrisistable)just start becoming friends with him then gradually it might build into something. Be outgoing (guys like that)

Q: ok so i live in connceticut which is like this little kinda rich place in the us and i go to a really preppy school wereanytrhing that doesn't fit into the hollister look is emo. now im a guy so ofcourse im gonna get alot more crap about the whole emo look or whatevr but i dont think i shou8ld change for people i mean theres only like five kids out of the whole school that would fit into the punk skater look counting me and i hate being called gay or fag because i wear like skinny jeans and died my hair burguny. What do you think i should do about it. any advice helps =)

ok so don't let those people bring you down...that's your style so work it the best you can...who you tryin to impress...at my school nobody really worries about how the other people look...we worry about ourselves...only the really mean people who are jealous who'd pick on people...maybe they are just jealous that they can't be totally original like you...so just overlook them or tell them to worry about themselves...hope i helped

Q: so theres this new guy at my school thats super cute but i dont have any classes with him and i hardly see him during the day although he does play soccer and i play volleyball so he comes through the gym everday! but anyway theres this dance coming up this friday and i want to ask him if he wants to go with me to the dance. i dont know much about him because i hardly see him but my friends that have classes with him say hes really down to earth, funny,and nice and thats excactly what i want in a bf! i say hi to him in the hall ways and i talked to him a couple of times and he does seem like all the things my friends said he was. its jus i really wanna go to the dance with him so i can get a chance to know him better.i also dont want to wait to long that someone that knows him better decides to ask him and he says yes! i really dont want that to happen becuase he is really attractive and sweet and funny!i just wanna know how i can ask him out to the dance. i hav something in my head but i wanna hear some other suggestions!!thanx!

ok first of all you need to build up your corouge and ask him...what could it hurt? what kind of world is this if you can't get out there and fight for what you want? and if it don't go as planed then you got to get back up on that peddistool and say "Maybe next time" so don't throw a pittyparty if indeed he says no...maybe he has reasons beyond explanation...guys are weird we never know what's gonna happen...just ask and see...oh and if he's hot tell me if he has a brother(just kidding)GOOD LUCK! Hope he says YES!

Hope my advice helped!
