Hmm, well you might want to get tested for ADHD or ADD. Those have something to do with losing your attention on things. Try searching for ADD help on the web, and go from there. Check out the symptoms, what it's like. If you don't think you have this, then try asking a parent. As for the getting mad part, don't let the little things get to you. Try and ignore it, I know it's hard, but it will work eventually! Trust me, I have a 5 year old brother and a 2 year old one and they are sooo annoying, but when i just try to ignore them it works! Good luck and i hope everything works out for you! :-) Riley
17/m Last weekend a very close friend of mine told me that she liked me. I said that I liked her too and that we should go out sometime. The reason that I said that I liked her is because everything deserves a chance. Well we have been on two dates and it is clear to me that she likes me way more than I like her. How do I let her know that I want to be just friends with out ruining a good friendship? I rate high.
Just sit down with her and tell her that you thought things would work out, but you see each other better as just friends. Tell her she is a sweet girl and that she is really cool. Let her know that you still want to be the friends you were before.
Hope I helped! Good luck, RiLeY
Ive know this guy since i was born and were really good friends. We were on vacation with them one year and my brother keept stealing him away from me! I dont like him as a boyfriend but he is like my best friend and my brother is taking him away from me! what should i do?
Hmmm don't let your brother get in the way!!!!!!
Just call your friend to talk whenever you can, or try making plans with him! Maybe hang out with your brother whenever they get together or tell your brother you want to do things all together. GOOD LUCK!

I have a friend that most of the time underestimtes me and pouts me down when I'm in a positive mood. For instance, when I put a different answer on my social studies quiz that wasn't the correct word, but is nother meaning of it, She was like "I don't think that's right, and I don't think she'll accept it" when my other firned said it was right. Also, when my teacher said she was going to round my B+ to an A or A-, and she got an A-, she said to me "I think that it will just show up as a B on your report card". I feel like she tries to put me down just so she can make me believe that she's smarter than I am, which is definitely not true. Most of the time she getson my nerves because she always thinks she the smartest...even my other friends think she gets on their nerves. I haven't confronted her about her being a problem to me because she might just get upset and play childish games like not speaking to me and ignoring me, or she might get an attidtude. I don't know, what do you think is right and that I should do because somebody has got to set her straight!
P.S.: Whenever I ask her a question that I don't get, she says to me "That's so easy" in a voice that she thinks she get everything...I hate it!!!!!
Hmmmm, Sounds like she is just trying to save you from getting a bad grade to me. She might have seen your answer and said it was wrong because she was afraid that the teacher might count you off when you really knew what it meant. She might have also been trying to make you realize that your grade might not get that higher because she didnt want to make you feel bad when if it didn't. She is just probably trying to stick up for her friend so you don't get hurt in the end.
As for the PS part, you might want to talk to her about that. Tell her that being a know-it-all is not good, and that it makes you feel bad when she acts like you are stupid and don't know anything. If she continues doing this, maybe you should reconsider your friendship.
Hope things work out! Best of luck, Riley
I really really like this guy! My friend is going out with him though and i dont think she knows that i like him! But they are really cute togher and i dont want to make her mad! He is a good friend of mine to! So it's hard to tell eaither of them because i dont know what's going on with them!! what should i do?
This has happened to me before! Infact, right this moment it is. My best friend is going out with Tyler who is sooo cute and we are good friends and he totally thinks im hott. I danced with him at a school dance and stuff, but I'm not really sure if she knows I like him. Anyways, enough about me... my advice is that you talk to her about it. Tell her how you feel about him. If this doesn't work, give it time. I mean, they aren't going to go out forever. When they eventually break up, make sure to get it through his head that you like him and maybe he will feel the same way. Hope things work out! best of luck, Riley

My friend and I met online from another friend of mine. We were always good friends, but the only time ( it seemed like)we get in to fights is online. It's kind of weird now seeming that we met online. I mean, It seems like just because I wanted to meet her, we have gotten in a fight.
Any Advice?
~.CoOkIe~.
hmmm sounds a little fishy... maybe she is not who you think she is?
i just bought certain dri last night and i put it on and my armpits started tinglinng and itching and first but then they stopped... is this normal/ok?
... probably not.
well my friends suck, theyre always rude to me and get on my nerves. i try to help with their problems but they just act like im an idiot. anyway, i try to meet new people and talk and get together but no one wants to..and they already have best friends. what do i do?
Sounds like your friends aren't really... friends. If they are rude to you, try sitting them down and talking to them about it. If things still don't get better, then I think it is time to find new friends. Try finding some that have the same interests and have things in common with you. As for trying to make new friends, are you taking things to fast? Maybe they don't want to get together because they barely know you and trust you. Or, maybe they already have plans. Try letting them know a week or so earlier when to get together to be sure they know about it and don't make other plans. Remember, to have a friend doesn't mean you have to be best friends. Give it time, things will work themselves out. :) Best of luck!
i know alot of girls probably do this.. but i always compare myself to models and girls who i believe are prettier than me.. im always putting myself down and looking in the mirror finding everything thats wrong with me and wishing i was perfect like other girls I know... does anyone else do the same.. how do you get over it
I think we all do. We all have flaws, and it's nothing we can change. No matter how great those girls look, it's all fake. They touch those pictures up with the computer, heck, its probably not even what those girls look like! You are beautiful in your own way, even if it's not the same way others are. Just don't think about what could make you look better, think about the things you have that others don't. This will make you feel a little better. You are one of a kind, a unique beautiful girl so quit putting yourself down! It's not worth it! Best of luck!
Hey. I'm in the 7th grade, and for my grade in math for the 3rd quarter, I know I got a 87.45% B+. Can that be rounded to an A?
Sorry to say it, but no. You can't round a grade up by that much. In fact, that would probably stay at an 87.
Since I was five and up until I was ten, there was a man that used to abuse me and my bedridden mother. Finally when I was ten years old, my mother kicked him out. A few years after that, I was taken out of my mother's house, and am now living with my 30 year old sister, and her fiance. Anyway, off of the background. a couple years ago, I had a dream that I would run into the abuser guy, and then I did! Nothing bad happened to me that time, but now I'm having nightmares about him again! I'm afraid, because the nightmares are worse than last time, and I'm afraid something really bad might happen. What should I do??? I know dreams don't always mean something, but it's been happening for three nights now. I'm really frightened. :O
Hmmm well it may have been a coincidence, or it could have really meant something. Try searching on the web for dream interpeters and ask them. Try telling your mother or father or somebody you absolutely trust. Good luck!
i have a whole spring break to make 300$! i need it at the end of the week! i borrowed my sisters ipod for a day and then someone stole it out of my purse! i have filed a police report but the chances fo finding it are very slim. PLEASE give me ideas besides just babysitting to come up with 300$ in a week! i dont have a job because im 15 but i dont have enough time to apply and make 300 in a week.
PLEASE give me any idea you have! i'll take it! I RATE! I"LL DO ANYTHING!
TIMES GOING FAST!
Oh my, that stinks! Well, try putting up some service flyers... babysitting, dog walking, car washing, you know, that sort of stuff. Offer reasonable prices, so people will actually come. Try going door to door asking to mow lawns or walk dogs. Ask your parents what extra chores they need done around the house and get paid. If you still can't get the money, then just explain to your sister that you can't get it and pay her back over time. Good luck and i hope you find your iPod!
Well over the weekend I'm stuck with a huge project over the weekend and...its a group project and two of the guys in the group goof off all the time and are failing the class and the other guy is a cute,nice,funny guy I flirt and joke around with sometimes. He's into the project but he's not into getting everything together. I've got this amazingly funny and fun idea for the project, and the only way I'm gonna get it done is if I do it all by myself. So my question is, do people hate it if you do all the work? Does doing all the work piss people off? Will the guy not like me anymore if I do it by myself?
Thanks so much for helping! :-)
Well that's kind of strange if they don't like you anymore for doing it yourself... in fact, if they are failing the class, they would probably enjoy it! If you can't get all together then maybe you should call them on the phone and have them look up some things for you and tell you there. I just wouldn't tell the teacher that you did all the work...
I play se;ect soccer. I get really really nervous before games and i don't know how not to be. I won't eat anything and i won't talk and i need a way to make my stomaach not hurt before a game and to be less nervous and calm!! Please help thanSS!!
You nave nothing to worry about! if you weren't good at soccer then you wouldnt be on select!
just take deep breaths, and think about other things that will take your mind off of being nervous. listen to music, get on the computer, or call a friend. just think about the good stuff that can happen, not the bad. Good luck!
