One of my friends created a Facebook page for her small business. I unliked the page because I felt like I didn't care enough to get updates or support the page. She recently re-invited me to "like" her page...and I felt a bit embarrassed that she probably saw I no longer liked it, and wanted to remedy that. So I "liked" it again out of courtesy to her. My question is, do people who create Facebook pages immediately realize when someone unlikes their page? Does this seem like something kind of rude or mean to do, if my friend realized I unliked her page? I don't mean to look into it too much, but I have a feeling that she saw I didn't like her page, felt offended, and invited me to like it to bring to my attention that she is aware I unliked her page. Or maybe it's just my thought... (link)
I don't think they realize immediately unless they pay that much attention to their page. You can try unliking it again in hopes she doesn't notice, tell her you don't think it's relevent enough to you (in a polite way of course) or just keep it as a liked page and ignore updates on your newsfeed.


Guys, what are some things that you really like when a girl does? Like, cute little things you notice about girls that makes them more attractive to you? And what are some gifts that you like to receive from your girlfriends or just things you like getting in general? Thanks! (link)
I'm not a girl, a lesbian if that helps at all. Smell is a thing they notice. If a guy finds a girl and she always smells good, that will drive him crazy. The way you dress too. Some clothes nicely accent parts of your body without being slutty. Your smile, your laugh, and how well you communicate with him, eye contact especially are HUGE. Also your touch. If you guys are hanging out and you occasionally touch him (not sexually and if the moment is right) they like that. And for gifts, cologne, hats if they wear hats and like a certain team for example, shirts, bracelets or necklaces if they wear those, shoes, sports equipment if they pkay, movies, video games etc.


Ok. So I was in Marching Band last year (my 8th grade year, going to be Freshman) and i met a guy (Sophomore, going to be Junior) We didn't really become friends till AFTER field season. It was at a districts performance, we started talking about a TV show we both like. After i performed (Color Guard show for me. He was there to perform with our Drumline) he gave me a thumbs up. Then at a pops concert we talked, and i bravely asked for his number. He gave it to me. I was in a weird dress for my show and i told him i felt awkward in it he said "Don't worry you look good"(We texted alot after that.) I performed and he told me I did great. Awhile later (different day) We had grown pretty close, I texted him if i dressed like a slut. (My friends kept telling me i did the day before and i was upset and wanted to talk to him) he replied "I don't think you dress like a slut your beutiful" I thought that was a sweet of him to say. I was talking to him another day asking him if he's looking forward to graduate in two years he said not really, I asked why and he said becuase he'd be leaving me. I asked why and he said I was special and that he's comfortbale talking with me and that he doesn't talk to a lot of girls. The big thing though was today. I went to a music store, and he happened to have saxophone practice today. I was talking to the owner about french horns when he walked in (I havent seen him in awhile) and he waved awkwardly at me, i did the same and the owner looked back and forth between us, shocked. He asked me if i knew him and i nodded. They boy went to go practice and i ended up being given a lesson. We left our seprate rooms at the same time. I put the french horn away (I was borrowing it for the half an hour) and was moving to give the owner the mouth piece, but the boy walked up to me and held his arms out to hug me, he said some words but i forgot what they where. I hugged him happy. I then left, smiling the rest of the day. We have never really broken the touch barrier like that before and he initiated it. He also told me this year was the best of his life so far because he joined band and got to meet me. I think I like him(I'm not sure 100%) but does he like me? I'm confused, Please don't say anything about age. (link)
Anyone can be your potential love technically but just because you like him and he likes you it doesn't mean it will end in love. By what you said, yes, he could possibly like you. He seems sweet by what he says but the only way to find out is by asking him. It's not awkward, well for me anyways, but the worst thing he could say is no. Just shoot him a little text saying you were curious to know if he likes you.


i didn't had sex and the penis didn't really enter to my pussy but i am afrraide to be pregenente (link)
Not to be rude, but judging by your spelling you're too young to be thinking about sex and such. If it didn't enter, it's not possible so as long as you don't have sex you shouldn't have to worrg about getting pregnant


I'm 19 years old and I'm still an A cup. Is there any way that I can make my boobs grow faster? and why are my boobs growing at a very slow pace? (link)
The struggle of being a girl sometimes eh? There's really nothing you can do. I mean some fatty foods can cause boobs to grow faster but it would take a while still and isn't effective in any way. You're just going to have to deal with it and let nature take it's course. Your boobs will grow, don't worry. And if you need some help, nothing wrong with a little push up bra.


hey, for the last couple of weeks,or since school got out for summer i just got out of counseling and ever since my last time i went everyone has been calling me weird annoying and saying that i've changed and my counselor taught me alot its just that i am being more social but lately i've been wanting to just be alone like i have barely been with any of my friends this summer and i can't help but sit and think how i've changed. I used to not be able to tell people how i truly feel but i was being bullied but now i can tell someone to fuck off and say no when i want to but others are saying i've changed...i dont feel suicidal at all and i dont cut myself and i dont get bullied as much and my counselor has taught me alot of ways to help myself but i just feel like im isolating myself from everything...any help would be lovely. thanks (link)
I think it's great that you are more social, for starters. All I can say is take one step at a time. I think you just need to get adjusted to your change in personality and sometimes isolation helps you find yourself. Before you know it you'll be hanging with friends but for now you need alone time. And everyone who is saying you've changed, it's not a bad thing.




I will try to make this short


I am getting married in a few months. My parents are divirced and my father has never really tried to initiate contact with me. Now that I have been planning a wedding, I seem to be resenting my father for loss of time abd not trying. I asked my mother to walk me, my step father is a JOP who will take the honors of marrying us. My father will be at this wedding...I have stopped talking to him from 2008-2012 due to the fact that I got tired of being the only one tryibg to have a relationship with my dad. I am getting tired again, He still doesn't call or visit me. It is his birthday on July 3rd and I was invited by stepmother to have dinner. I don't even wabt to go nor do I want to buy him anything. Instead I am feeling the want to just forget it and be happy with people who try to be in my life. I almost feel as I am a burden and unwanted. If it weren't for me visiting him (30 min drive) there wouldn't even be any relationship at all. I love my dad but I seem to not wabt to waste energy any more (link)
It's not quite clear what you're asking. It seems like you want someone to vent to which is totally okay. You may love your father but you don't have to like him. I mean, with what you said it's obvious you're done trying and it seems as though he was a long time ago. I don't think you can do anything but live your life. Just don't talk to him if you don't have to, if you have to see him you'll have grin and bear it. I don't know what else to say, sorry.


I am 13 years old and I talk to spirits in my head. They dont reply. I just tell them to keep my family safe and healthy (kind of like my form of a God). It scares me and whenever I wall into a room I have to tell them not to harm me. Is there a name for this (like a mental illness)? Ive never told anyone about it before, should I seek help? By the way, i have OCD if that could have anything to do with it. (link)
I don't think this is neccessarily a mental illness, some people can talk to spirits because that's just the way they are. (Though usually they train their mind to do so) I think you should talk to someone about it though because it may be helpful to let it all out to someone you trust. And I couldn't imagine OCD having any part in this.


.. I tryed to commit suicide once by overdosing and ended up in psycho hospital...( Those that u go for like 3 days to evaluate you) .. Idk ive been thinking about doing it again but the thing is that everyone else thinks I'm being weak selfish ect. I really hate my life. I have major depression disorder and I had bulimia for about 5 years ever since I was 13yrs old..I just simply want to die. I lost all my motivation and I don't want to do anything. I used to draw and I won some awards.. I used to b an A+ student and now I can bearly pass my classes. I cry every night. I know lots of people but I don't have many friends. I don't have communication w my parent bcz I don't even live w them. I live w my grandparents and sisters. Sometimes I just want to take all the pain away but it seems impossible. Ever since I was 13 Ive been dealing w this.
I just don't want to feel miserable all the time.. I am a weak person. And I believe that I have the choice to die because after all It is MY life. I know many of you will probably tell me the opposite but I'm set on that. I have also been seeing a therapist. You may say I'm crazy but I just really want to know ways on how to kill myself fast and easy... (link)
PLEASE DON'T. I know where you're coming from. Not exactly your situation, but I too have tried to kill myself.

Suicide is a solution for a short term problem. And what I mean by this is that what you're going through won't last forever, I promise you. I've learned to deal with this feeling by surrounding myself with things I love to do like draw and write etc. And you should too. Just pick up a pencil again and draw out your feelings out.

I know it'll be extremely difficult, but you have to try. I don't know you personally, but look how far you've gotten with all the problems you've had! You're a soldier and don't even realize it. Think about it this way, if you can survive through this, you'll look back at it one da and realize how strong you've become, and that is a GREAT feeling.

If you need someone to talk to, there are help phone lines you can reach, and if you don't want to do that, contact me at Iesha.McCurdy1@gmail.com, I can really help you through this, but I understand if you don't want to talk to me.

Please stay strong because you have a beautiful life ahead of you. XO


I hate being home on long breaks from college. When I'm at school everything is amazing and I'm perfectly happy. At home, I feel surrounded by a general sense of negative energy. I don't click with my friends here the way I do at school, my family annoys me, I get easily irritated, I'm extremely lazy, and always tired despite getting 10 hours of sleep a night (or day, I typically go to bed at 4am and sleep until 1:30 in the afternoon ugh I hate that). Everyone here annoys the hell out of me. I hate having to drive to do anything. I hate how cold it is. I overthink things and get depressed. Over the summer I had huge issues with being home. My job gave me intense anxiety and I had a self-esteem crisis. I felt like the biggest loser ever. Then I returned to school and it's literally the opposite. I just had the best semester ever. I'm a totally different person at school than I am home. ughh I just want to be there and have my regimented schedule back with all the people who I love and make me happy, all my work and classes, and beautiful, serene outdoor scenery. How can I be make the most out of these next 4 weeks at home and be more of a cheerful, energetic person? (link)
I can totally understand where you're coming from. I haven't experienced this myself, but I get the whole idea of negative energy around the house and being a totally different person somewhere else.

Since you cannot physically go to the school, you should try and talk to a lot of your friends from school. That could by text, phone call, skype, etc. Since they are something the contributes to your happiness, focus on them. Maybe organize some days/nights out with them, or you can go to your house and visa versa.

Also try just really focusing on what you love to do. Maybe you love to read? Just lock yourself away from everything in your room and just read.

Just try and keep in mind it's not for a lifetime so try and just focus on the things that can make you happy. Good luck. xx


I have a friend and we're like best friends. A while ago she messages her crush on Facebook. She finds out tht he has a phone and starts txting and calling him. Then she asks him if he likes her and he said a little bit but more as a friends. Then a month later she tells me that he told her that he likes her. And then I started having problems with my friends and got mad cuz everytime I wanted to talk to her about it it's always "ok, hold on I'm talkin to ????" and then she never texts me until I'm like "HELLO???". I want our friendship to go back to normal but everytime it does something happens again. This is the 5th or 6th time writing about her, all for different reasons. Someone please help!!! (link)
I'm sure we ALL have that one friend that is constantly talking about guys, and sometimes seems so wrapped up in them that they fail to realize they're own friendships are failing. All you can do in this situation is talk to her. Whether face to face or throught text, MAKE SURE she gets the message that she's getting to caught up in this guy, and you feel like your friendship is being affected. Don't be rude or come across like you're jumping down her throat either. Just be calm, and polite, but make sure she understands. If she doesn't and it continues, just try and brush it off. She'll eventually come to her senses.


So I'm 16 and I've being texting a guy who my friend knows and we've really being hitting it off! we can send each other hundreds of texts a day and have being doing so for a few months! I've got him on Facebook and we talk on there as well, but the problem is that he lives 200miles away so for the time being ill never meet him, but he seems so genuinely nice and caring!! I think I might love him but what do I do?

Please help, any advice is welcome! (link)
My first love was with this girl I met over twitter. We recently broke things off, but that's besides the point. I never met her and she lives in Kentucky in the States, and I in Ontario Canada. We skyped often and messaged everyday getting to know SO much about each other. It wasn't until about 3 months in the we finally exchanged the words "I love you" to each other.

Now while it's very possible to love someone you've never met, some people aren't truly in love and only think they are. Do you know a lot about each other? Have you guys ever skyped? Exchanged deep secrets? Those are only a few examples, and I'm not saying you aren't truly in love, but just think about those things.

Just be careful with this because distance is a risk. I learned that, but I won't bore you with my whole love story. Just make sure you aren't rushing things, take it easy, and good luck.



My boyfriend and I have been dating for half a year now, Im almost 15 and he's almost 20. He is a very hardworking man, who understands me like my own dad (I never had one). We did not have sexual intercourse because he respects my desicions and doesnt mind waiting. He works, and I go to school. I hang on well with school with good grades like a normal Teenager and plan on moving to America to study. My bf works and plan on moving with me. My mam is starting to be okay with him because he likes to help out in my house and help my mam with house chores. although my Adult siblings think he has no future so they're not okay with us being together. His family dont mind the age gap,and treat me like im part of their family already.:) He smokes, but when we met, I told him not to, so suprisenly he stopped. his family was shocked.
So as you see, were madly in love with eachother, he's perfect for me and dont plan on braking up.
But there is one problem.. Statutory rape.
Im scared that someone will sew him to prison for dating an underage girl.
what will I do so the age wont matter?!?! :(

I just recently got out a long distance relationship with a 19 year old, and I'm 16. She lives in the U.S, and I live in Canada. I didn't start thinking about it until now, but we could and could not of got in trouble as well. I mean in Canada the legal age is 16, but not in the U.S...

ANWAYS you can't change the law. You are considered a minor and you guys, more so him, can get into trouble even if you guys aren't doing anything sexual. I kno he may seem perfect and everything you've ever wanted, but you have to think about what could happen. Maybe wait for each other until you're legal age, and then there is no chance of you getting into trouble.

And his parents shouldn't be condoning this either. They're adults and should know better.

Ok - So i have a boyfriend. who i have been with for 6 months... (not a long time) but...
thats not the point..
I have fallen head over heels for my english teacher. and i am not gay - i have just fallen for this woman. and i have no idea what to do....
(i think about her all the time, and i feel so much for her it is unreal) :/ (link)
Maybe heterosexual? It's people who aren't identified as gay or bi etc but have this unexplainable attraction to someone of the same sex. Like they may say "bu he/she is different" or "they're an exception", and that's okay. Some people will fall for someone's personality regardless of their gender but wouldn't go for anyone else of the same sex. But of course if you've had certain feelings before you could be bi perhaps? Or pansexual where you just fall for a person regardless of gender.

Don't stress about it too much, honestly.


im a sophore in high school and i have never hooked up with anyone. This week i met a really cool guy, SENIOR guy, named John. Well out of know where, we eneded up haning out this weekend. I was really excited since I had a huge crush on John and all, so i wanted to be with him, and yes , also makeout with him too, if there was a chance. So anyway, we did makeout. it should have been perfect. it was at the beach, at night. so pretty. But the makeout felt weird. im not sure why because I really liked him, but i felt like gross and wanted to stop. like it just felt wrong. Im not sure anymore if i like him, or if theres seomthing wrong with me? like why dont i like hooking up? and am i gay or something? like what??? please help. (link)
If you've never made out with someone before, then yes it might feel a little weird. When I had my first like real makeout it felt weird to me. I was turned on, it didn't feel awesome, I had literally no emotion towards it and I just wanted to pry my lips off of the guy.

BUT given I am bisexual, that might play a factor as I enjoy kissing girls more. You might be gay, or bi, but don't just jump to the conclusion because of one makeout sesh.



Well it was my sophmore year in high school and their entered a girl in my spanish class and oo how she took my breath away right that second she looked at me. I didn't know what to do so i sat next to her and started getting to know her and my feelings for her started to grow . I couldn't tell her how i felt because i had a gf and i was very confused. Never in my life had i felt so amazingly happy inside. Turned out i never got the chance to tell her how i feel and i can honestly say she was probably the love of my life . I loved her but couldn't tell her and i regret not doing it because she was my soulmate. Now she's gone and is in Washington and i want to go up and tell her everything i feel about her but i don't have enough money to go up their. Im so busy with football and don't have time to get a job but for her id do anything to just get that chance to tell her everything i wanted to back then. I don't know what to do but i know i have to keep trying because she is the love of my life and what sucks was that she really liked me also but never told me cause i had a gf . Help me i don't know what to do i miss her so much and i wanna see her so badly . She's everything a guy could ask for. help me plz
(link)
I'm sort of in the same situation, only circumstances are a little different.

One thing you want to make sure is that you actually love her and it's not lust or you rushed into feelings too fast because that could cause problems down the line. But if you say you love her, then I won't argue that.

Is there anyway you guys can communicate without being face to face? Like maybe a facebook or twitter, cell phone... Even skype works if you want to see each other. You can tell her how you feel there, instead of getting money, going to see her and face possible rejection, which in a sense would be a waste of your money and time.

But if you can't do anything I said above, be patient. If two people are meant to be, they will cross roads again, and who knows, maybe you two will.

Good luck. xo


14/f. for about two months i have had these very tiny bumps on my neck.its not eczema becasue i've had it before and i know what it looks like and even had it on my neck before and its like a reddish rash. this is differnt because it is tiny bumps. and i popped some of them to see what it was hoping maybe it was pimples or something but when i popped some just a very tiny tiny ball of skin i guess, because i didnt know what it was. there was no puss like in a pimple or anything. and their not blackheads. i even tryed using st. ives apricot scrub which helped me get rid of some pimples i had but on my neck it didn't help at all. after that i tryed to put on some pimple cream even though their not pimples but just to help but it didnt help. :( iv'e been eating the same foods i always have so i dont know. and my mom wont take me to the doctor because she says we have no health insurance anymore. and makeup doesnt help. what should i use or do??thnks (link)
I have no idea what season it is where you live, but it could be heat bumps or a heat rash. Well you can get it without being summer as well.

Sometimes if it's too hot, or you're always warm you can get a heat rash. I'm not exactly sure, but you do sweat around the next area, espcially at the back. I wouldn't touch it or put anything else on it for a while. Leave it and see what happens so it doesn't get wrose hopefully.

Hope I could help and good luck :) x


what should i do for fun in the summer?? (link)
This is such a vague question as there are tons of thing do to in the summer.

Swimming, mini golf, go karting, beach, park, amusment park, movies, boating, biking, sleepovers, bbqs, camps, sports, kayaking, rock climbing, laser tag, water balloon/gun fights, going out for ice cream, slushies or dinners, concerts, hikes, travelling etc.

There are a whole bunch of stuff you can do! Just look around!

Hope I could help, good luck :) x


I'm in middle school and I've liked this guy for a year and I just can't get over it because I don't understand him and he sends mixed signals. The thing is we're suppose to "hate" each other and I think he does or at least acts like it. I didn't want him to know I like him and my friends just RUINED IT. I didn't tell NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE that i like him. I can't i hate myself for even thinking about him (which i do often). The thing is he i think shows that he likes me and is trying to ignore the fact that he does. He always calls me names and who won't believe what kind of names. and ones he actually said "No offence but she's hotter than you" one i'm impressed that he gave a compliment and an insult at the same time you know. but my friends they just ruin everything for me. One of my friends told him i like i think she meant it as a joke because i can't lie so good and she said that because She had her cold hands on my back and i pushed her arm off. and this other time I told my friend to friend me with everyone in our class on Facebook. So she went on my account and she friend ed him i didn't know it till 3 days ago when i saw one of my friends post and his name and on the side said friends request sent. I was about to die. He started being paranoid and meaner. We sat almost next to each other in homeroom and we had fun insulting each other we even laughed and i usually hit him for making fun of me and i could tell he liked me until he caught me off guard and i hit his arm so hard the teacher noticed she made us switch sits and i was really upset i was gonna cry. Then he was moved out of our class to another because he was bad and he always somehow somewhere found a way to call me names and i liked the fact he still sort of communicated until this one day when we were suppose to go to homeroom i was helping this guy and he came over he started insulting me and he told the rest of his friend the nicknames he used to call me and i swore ever since then i would start to ignore him and it worked but i feel even worse because we don't communicate anyhow anymore. (link)
Woah. That is quite the story you got there. Kind of hard to follow. Regardless, guys will almost ALWAYS send mized signals. BUT sometimes you might think it's a mixed signal, but in reality the guy takes no interest in you.

I'm going to tell you that he might not be worth it. You might think he's playing around, when in actuality he might really mean it. I would just not pay attention to much to this whole situation. If it happens, it will and if it's not mean to, it won't. There are plenty of fish in the sea hun. And friends, they'll always do stuff like that. Be more careful with them.

Hope I could help and good luck :) xo


can your hair turn blonde if you've dyed your hair and you're in the sun a lot?
Does rich caramel colour hair dye contain bleach? (link)
I don't think your hair will turn blonde, but then again hair dye can be funny. And instead of asking this question here, investigate. Look online for these things. Go to a store, find the hair dye and just look. People can't just know this stuff or look for you. Plus, some hair dyes are different depending on brand and whatnot.

Hope you find your answer, good luck :) xo
