ok so ive been friends with this kid jake and everything and all of a sudden this week hes just been ignoring me and stopped talking to me all together and i dont know what i did and i m almost positive i didnt do anything bci n ever say anything bad about him or anything

and theres this other kid dylan and he liked me btu was always mean to me and yelled at me the other day so i ignored him today and now hes really upset and mad at me and i know i shouldnt worry bc he did it to himself but i hate making people sad

what should i do with both of them??
please helpp.. thankks!! (link)
oh. must be that time of the month again for jakie-poo. its been proven that once a month for men, there is this period for about a week when boys are just pissed off at everything and everyone. "maneriod" is what i call it. lol. but thats beside the point. just go up to him and say "hey, are you mad at me??"

and with dylan? just apologize but tell him to screw off about the whole being mean thing. tell him it hurts your feelings and that you know a guy who knows a guy that can beat his ass if he doesnt lighten up. lololol. kidding, dont do that. but do tell him that its not cool. :))

hope everything works out with both of them. :)


okay so, theres this guy austin and i like him, and i dont know if he likes me.. he always talks to me when he gets on aim like within the first couple minutes he signs on and we've been talking alot the last couple days and yesterday i hung out with him after school for a couple hours at the art center thing in my school.. and he always smiles when he sees me and such and i dont know like if he likes me more than a friend? and i really want him to but i dont know how i should approach him? like should i just come out and say, heyy do you like me? like what should i say or do to show him im interested? i dont want to scare him off if he does like me.. (link)
just go up and say it "hey. do you like me? like, more than a friend?" and then he'll answer. and if he says yes, then just say "oh, cool. well, shock shock. i do 2!!" and so on.

if he says no, just say "oh, ok. i thought you did for a second." and just be cool about it. hope it all works out. :)


15/f

this is going to sound super shallowww.

i really really really like this kid. but, hes not cute. at all. i mean i deff. like him for his personality. hes not the type of guy i would ever date. all my boyfriends were usually football or baseball players or something. this kid is deff. far from that. i wanna like him, and i know he likes me. but, i know.. if i went out with him, people would make fun of me. i dont know if id kiss him or anything, because i'm not attracted to him like that, i mean i kinda am. but idk. do you think its worth it? it seems though, as eeach day goes by, i like him more and more. its like i have a disease. (link)
yeah your right. that sounds shallow. lol. but thats ok.

you know what? who cares about looks besides everyone???? i mean, i'd go for it. if you like him, just get over it and go for it!!

take careee!! :)


okay so ive heard you can still get your period if your pregnat
i had sex and we used a condom
and i usually start my period on the 1st of the next month or the 31st of that month
like my period for january=jan.31st-febuary1st.

my period just came today but its lighter than usual
even the color is lighter

so im not sure if maybe just cause its the first dysa or wat (link)
you cant get your period when your pregnant. i dunno whats up with the menstrual blood, though, sorry.

take care! :)


[[girl, 15]] I've been with this boy for 9 months now. he is in the year above and over a year ago he dated my best mate for like a day. She dumped him and told everyone bad things about him. me and him had been mates since then and we got on really well and 9 months ago we ended up together. Ever since we got together however, my mates have gone weird. They don't know him you see, and he has a bad reputation in the school so hasn't got many friends inside of school. Me and him went through a rough patch a bit recently and ignored each other, and my so called best mate started teling me i was worth more and shouldn't get back with him and calling him a tosser. It really hurt me cos i love him and i don't wanna loose my mates over a guy but I thought she was different. You can't help who you love right, and he has always been there for me and treats me well. Yes, he has made me cry time to time and has got mad at me, but every couple has that right? But like where when i was single i had really good mates and all, having a boyfriend has now made my mates not wanna know me when he is around or calling me names or insulting him. I hate it, i just wish they could see i love him and let me have some peace. He gets picked on in school as it is, the last thing i want is for me to loose mates and for him to get hurt by my mates turning on him. Also when he leaves school this year, I still have a year left and I don't want to be alone. What should I do? I love my guy so much.. but i love my friends too... I have tried to put up with my friends but I keep skipping school cos i hat what it's like when i see him at lunch time cos of what my mates do etc. I always get left out and everything... or i have my mates making digs at my relationship HELP!! I am so stuck and upset and confused.. (link)
uhh...hellooo??? if your friends cant accept who you love they cant accept you! thats all there is to it!!

but...i hate to tell you this, but friends come before boys. but your friends sound like they are being real bitches about it. i'd dump them and go find some new friends who will accept you and your guy. im really sorry this is happening to you.

take care and i hope everything ends up ok. :)


I just recently bought those new rechargeable batteries made by Energizer.

But I have a question. They never came with a charger or anything. So how am I suppose to charge them?

Is there something else I need to buy? How much is it if so? Where can I get it? (link)
yeah you have to buy a battery charger. they arent too expensive. like maybe 25$-50$.

i think you could get them at staples...im not too sure.


Okay, so I'm just frustrated lately. One of my best friends/a big crush asked me out last Sunday, and we broke up Friday. (He said he was stressed lately because of his basment flooding, and said it was weird because we'd been such good friends beforehand). So we were fine, until four days later, I found out he ALREADY had a new girlfriend. I know that much sounds shady ,but I can't be sure because he's kinda got an issue with short term relationships and falling for girls quickly.
The thing is, this has happened twice. That time, and just a time where he was going to ask a girl out he hardly knew, and said that if that didn't work out, if it were okay with me, we could date. He eventually said he'd rather stay friends, however.
I know it's dumb of me to keep going back to this, because I'm essentially hurting myself, but I was really happy when we were dating, and it's not like I can avoid him, because we sit together at lunch.
He still acts pervarded and stuff, and it almost seems flirty (no worries--it's how we joke around, nothing actually physical) and I feel bad, because he hasn't even said anything about his new girlfriend or anything, so I seem SO angry.
So I guess what I'm asking is just whether or not I should stick to this, or try to move on--which I can't see myself doing at the moment. It sounds dumb to even consider, but I doubt this new girl will last too too long, so what should I do to stay close and even maybe get him to like me again--and not be so indecisive about it?
If it helps, we play this game called 'random awkward question game' where we're COMPLETLY honest with each other and stuff.
If anything, I don't want to lose him as a friend, which could be so easy at this point. Things have been so awkward since I've been mad, and we don't talk as much like we used to. He's graduating this year, so I need to make sure we're still at least close enough to stay good firends so he dosen't just forget me. =/

Gah, if anyone understands what my problem is there, help is appreciated!!

just call him every now and again and talk to him like a normal friend. nothing wrong with that. and just let him know that even though things didnt work out, yall can still be cool!

take care and i hope everything works out..:)


This is a little long but, please please read it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!alright.....now ive asked a question on the same subject b4. But, i was thinking im not the prettiest person ever and i only add people to my myspace that i talk to a lot. Do you think adding when i have only 43 friends would be to noticeable. I dont really want him to know i like him. But, i want to get to know him better and his gf is costanly on his myspace so if he rejects me it may have been her and i would never know if maybe he liked me. I think he might like me cuz he used to like look at me a lot and thats sorta y i started liking him. (link)
just add him but then dont go bugging him saying "thanks for the add, thats awesome, so i heard your into swimming? thats cool. how does that work? cause whenever i do a front flip underwater, the water goes up my nose and i sneeze. haha!! isnt that funny? so whats up??"

no, no.

i would know what happens after that.

but yeah just add him and if he rejects you, then you can look for signs that it was his gf the next day: evil looks from her, scoffing, maybe a little gossip. yeah. and if it IS her, then just ignore her! obviously she would be jealous that her bf would start to like you. and thats why she didnt add you.

take care! :)


i make friends with girls pretty easy but i just am not that good with making friends with guys! can you guys please tell me some tips and how to be friends with guys??? THANX! (link)
if you have some guys in your class you could just go up and talk to them. trust me, i used to have the same problem. now all my best friends are guys.

or if you see one of them out of school, go up to them and go something like, "hey, you're in my math class, right?" and if he IS, he'll go, "yeah" and then you could just talk about what hes doing and stuff. then maybe he'll introduce you to some of his friends. just be sure to not go up to a boy and go "hey!! wanna hang sometime?!!?" thats just creepy.

hope it works. :)


i asked before about this guy i liked (call him *mark*), and wasn't sure how he felt about me..and i'm still unsure. i previously wrote how i found out he was going to paris w/this girl over winter break and i thought i had no chance anymore, yet he would still touch my arm and laugh at my jokes and smile.everyone who responded said that he is interested, and i thank you so much for your advice b/c i needed it! over break i emailed him while he was in europe and me out of town, just to see how things were going, and to show i think about him, that's as much guts as i could muster. well he wrote a lot, even sent me pictures of him there, so i thought okay at least he's comfortable around me as a friend and eager to respond. once school began, i asked how paris was, he said the girl he was supposed to meet up with just ditched him, didn't even show up and doesn't know why. now i didn't ever like this girl and i think that was so harsh to leave him like that and not keep her promise, but i wonder why she'd do that, and why he wouldn't prod into it. okay. so now he doesn't touch my arm, but he still laughs at stuff i say ,for example i remark that the limited hours for the local pool is stupid. he laughs, he really enjoys it. i know that's lame but just to show how easy he is around me, i guess. and he's a soccer player yet he's brought up how he wants to swim, i'm a swimmer, i wonder if he's trying to share a common hobby. and when he asked about my trip, he was sitting across the table but then he leaned forward, i've heard that's a good sign too, and when this other guy would remark on stuff i'd say i realized *mark* would be looking at me. then the next time he saw me he said "hey" but it sounded meaningful, yet the whole time i was there he practically ignored me and was talking to that other dude. and then the third time we meet up(he studies w/our same group of friends in this room so i always stop by), i mention to my friend, who swims like me, that i saw a picture of this male swimmer (she thinks he's hot), and all i said was, "hey i saw his picture in this swim magazine" and *mark* all of a sudden says to me "why do you make a big deal out of him? do you have to see him shirtless, you like it?" and i go "it's not a big deal *mark*" i was shocked, i honestly didn't know what to say. then he retorts "yeah well the magazine didn't Force you to look at his picture." i mean, what's up w/that??i didn't know what to say, he just snapped at me all of a sudden, and was looking at the floor the whole time, it was a little funny b/c it came out of nowhere, but i'm so confused, was he jealous? today he saw me going into the computer lab so i could study while he was on his way to class w/our group of friends, and after class everyone but him came over to talk to me. i didn't go over to see him at his usual study spot today, b/c i felt that if he liked me he'd find a stupid excuse to come into the computer room just to see me. he's been sending so many mixed signals, and i've been wasting my time thinking about it and i don't want to anymore, i want to move on,b/c it hurts. i don't understand, he knows some girls i bet, but he sees me more than other girls, and i'm sure he doesn't feel as inclined to laugh w/them as he does w/me. and it's not just our humour, he gets me, and i him. i'm so sorry for this being super long and scattered, and this is abridged!! but i would appreciate it so much if anyone can help!!! thank you! (link)
damn thats long.

whew.

MOVING ON.

yeah, he still sounds interested. one of my exes is doing the same thing when im talking about johnny depp or something (lol). maybe you could ask him why he snapped at you. because, you know, honestly, thats really lame. and childish. you dont have a right to him. you can look at guys pictures if you want to! you're a girl!! anyways, hope everything works out! :)


Okay, I really like Adam but I always sound so stupid when I talk to him. I have no problem talking to guys- half of my friends are guys, but when it comes to Adam all I do is flip my hair and giggle. Laugh is out of the question...
I--GIGGLE.
On AIM I talk to him, and I always start the conversation. And it's always about random stuff and what not.
I also while talking to him change my voice How?
I donno I can't even catch myself from doing it. But How do i stop myself from making a fool of myself infront of him. (link)
just keep telling yourself hes just a regular guy. nothing special about him. hes a normal human. and maybe you could tell yourself hes going through the same stuff when talking to you. maybe thats why he doesnt start the convo on aim cause hes nervous. but yeah just remind yourself hes just a normal boy. oh, and think of something sad so you wont laugh. unless he says something funny, then by all means, laugh.

take care!! :)


k so i met this kid this past summer. and i just started talking to him again. he saw pics of me and says im alot hotter since the summer. and wants to hook up. im thinking about it. ive never hooked up before and im kind of nervous. but im in 10th grade. and havent yet. like. i wanna do it, but its ganna be so akward and whatnot. helpp on like how to, whats expected, etc. should i?! thanks (link)
ok first of all: even if you dont mind it, being called HOTT is a NOT. if he says you're pretty or beautiful, then its cool. but yeah i just had to throw that in.

do you wanna hook up with him? ask one of your really good guyfriends if you could practice on him or something. (that might be weird, but i do it. lol)

if you want to, then just do it. it may be awkward, but just let it flow. just get used to the feel of it and stuff and move on from there.

take care...and have "fun". :)))


Whenever I go to the mall with me and my friend (hes gay), he always gets hit on and talked to... even by girls... and I'm a girl, and I don't get why no guys ever hit on me? And no girls talk to me either?

What is it about someone that makes you talk to them? :( I'd say we're both the same in looks and we're both approachable...I don't get it. (link)
its simple: gays are awesome. everyone wants to have a gay-guy friend.

its the honest truth. but no one talks to me when i go to the mall, either. but seriously, why wait for someone to talk to you? go talk to the hotties at the food court.

hope i helped...:)


i like someone and but its my friends cousin...
yeahh . And she wants me to make out with him to
get his ex mad and now she found out that i like him and now i just dont know what to do! (link)
do what you wanna do. dont make out just to get his ex mad. thats dumb! just go for him!

take care! :)


Hi everyone...i know this will be long, but please help!! Ok sooo there is this girl that I have liked since school started... we hang out all the time in our classes together and we meet up when she is in dance class and I'm in pe. The only problem is--she cant go anywhere with me cause her parents are WAYYY over controling and dont let her hang out with guys. Sooo pretty much no moviesss umm no mall, etc. unless she tells her parents that she is hanging out with some girls and we "bumped" into eaceother......my point is--she cant hang out with guys.

So last saturday--I went to this party for my friends birthday, and I met this guy. He is reallllly nice, easy to talk to and just "gets" me. I talk to him all day long and there are never awkward silences--its like we have perfect chemistry... he always said the right thing. Soo aventually he asked if i liked him and I said, yes and soo he says, i dont mean friend like, and so i said...I know. soo we pretty much have the hots for eachother and yeaaaaaaa.

Here is where the trouble starts, I was thinking about asking that girl out on valentines day... and now im pretty much dating this guy and he asked me if i will be his valentine( i know--kinda cheezy but cute)

what do you think i should do? i have known this guy since 7th grade and when i finally get to know him in only 4 days were practially dating. and this girl she cant ever honestly go out with me but I really like her and have for a while.

Also--this guy has been turned down from a guy just like this--they met and were really close and then he asked him out and he said no so he could date this girl and they were never friends again. Ahhh!!!!!

OOOOO and another thing--im BI but im not out--at all...this guy is the only person that i have told...sooo if I dated him then we would have to keep it secret...wow this just piles on and on--also he is a sophmore and i am a freshman soo next year he goes to a different school(i dont see him much anyways)

what do you think i should do? (link)
omigosh your BI??? thats so cool!!!

tee hee.

MOVING ON. (sorry i have never met a boy like that)

and your right with that being cheesy but cute. it is.

i think you should so totally stay with the guy. and dont keep it a secret. if no 1 can accept the fact that you're BI, then they cant accept the fact that you're a boy or that you have brown hair or something. its just a natural part of you.

my opinion? the dude. he sounds cool.

take care and i hope everything works out!! :)



I have NO idea how to insert a tampon. I read the instructions so many times and have tried. But it hurts really bad I CANT insert it. I feel like I have a flab of skin inside my vagina blocking the entrance. cause ill spread my vagina and look in a mirror and it looks like its blocking it. maybe my body isnt tampon-usable. helppp. (link)
that's probably your hymen. its an elastic-like piece of skin that can be easily broken during intercourse, periods, (putting tampons in), fingering, masterbation, etc. another name for it is the "cherry"...

i dont know if you are inserting the tampon in the right place or not...this might be the issue, it might not be. but yeah.

maybe you should just stick to pads. ;)


Ok,I'm a 14/F and I've liked this boy for already about 8 months now.ever since Setepmber I've noticed that he kept looking at me from far away and staring at me during class.

Ever since January began this girl over heard one of my friends telling one of her friends.((she's my friend too but she did'ent know I liked the guy))

Well when she heard my friend,uh,lets call her Cathy.Well she went over to Cathy and told her that she was gonna do something nice for me.((Which I knew both cathy and the other girl,lets call her Lucy, were gonna try and hook me up with my crush))

Well, last thursday, Lucy asked my crush if he liked me and supposedly said no that he did'ent like me in that sort of way.Cathy did'ent tell me until friday in the morning because thursday I left early because I did'ent feel so good.

And yea, I cried,but I have this feeling that maybe he lied.I mean,some person that you only know his or her name and hardly ever talk to,they come up to you and ask you who do you like?Would you tell them up staright?I mean thats a mistake if you just tell some you hardly know and tell them you like this girl or this guy,you know what I mean?

So yea,I have a feeling he must've lied.Because also on friday during my 2nd period class,A girl,uh,Molly asked me if I liked my crush.I told her straight up no because I don't trust her and her some reason I hate her((I still don't know why))but also because of the same reason I just said.

Anyways,I'm thinking that maybe I should confess to my crush this week just to see if what he told Lucy was the truth cause now i'm really confused,he gave lots of signs saying that 'Yea,I like you too.'So,do you think what I'm doing is good?Or should I just leave things the way they are?Even if I do confess and get rejected I at least want to be his friend because i don't think it's right just to stop talking to him just cause he did'ent like me back.Also, he still keeps staring at me after all this of him supposdly saying no that he dos'ent like me.

Cathy says I should ignore him,but it's soo hard!
I can't ignore him cause he's a really nice guy and a funny friend.

So,should i,or not confess...?I'm really confused of all this((even if there are some people reading this it may not seem confusing))

((I'm sooooo sorry it's long!!!))

(link)
long questions = more info and easier to follow. dont worry bout it.

anyways, i think you should so tell him. cause your totally right. i wouldnt tell anyone i liked someone, even if i DID know them! but yeah, and if he doesnt like you, you can still be good friend. i mean, im in love with one of my best guy friends and he knows and we're still hanging out and stuff.

but yeah, hope it all works out. take care. :)


ok im gonna have a baby soon and i really want to name if its a boy 'sean' or a girl 'brooke' but i have no idea wat their middle names gonna be can anyone give me some suggestions. (link)
like maybe instead of brooke as the first name, you could say her name is amanda brooke. and just let her go by brooke.

and the boy's middle name could be sean lee or something like that. (im not very good with boy's names lol) but yeah.

OR just let the father name the boy, and you could name the girl. :)

take care! :)


would you go out with someone who is going to graduate at the end of may. he's a year ahead of me and im scared that i'll get too attached. would you forget the risk and take the fall? (link)
well, this is just me, (and i hate taking risks) but i wouldnt do it.

but it all depends on what you wanna do. do you wanna take the risk? if you know you do, then DO IT!!!

take care :)


ok... I live with my boyfriend who I've almost been with for 2 years (I've only lived with him for like 6 months and this has panned out because of a family breakdown with my family) and we've gone through alot together. Theres an age difference I'm 17 and he's 19 but that doesn't really bother me or him.

He has always been a person who can get angry easily and his moods can change quickly. Its like he doesn't know how to control his emotions, even he says that he can't control his actions when he is angry. He knows and has accepted that he needs help and has made an appointment and everything but its not til March which is a little over a month away and he is worried about that cause he needs help quicker than that.

I get annoyed because he spends alot of time to himself and he doesn't open really talk to me alot about whats going on with him which hurts me cause I tell him everything (he knows this but says that he doesn't tell me cause he wants to tell someone that can really help) things get so heated between us that we'll sometimes get physical even though we both know its wrong.

It tears me up inside that I can see he doesn't mean to do the things he does, Its not his personality and you can just see a look in his eye. His father has bipola so I'm not sure if thats heridetary?

He asks me to give him space if he's angry but I feel as though I need to help him but when I try things just get worse and I feel inside me that I can't just walk away and leave him.

I need some ways on how to deal with it myself, so that I don't get down about it and I need some stratergies to just be able to walk away and let him cool down.

ANY HELP IS GREAT!!!

(link)
1: DO WHAT HE SAYS AND STAY AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HES ANGRY.

2: just attempt to keep him happy.

3: accpet the fact he doesnt wanna open up.

4: wait for the help.

5: give him a stress ball or something to squeeze or punch when hes pissed.

6: when hes mad, bending over and taking a warm washcloth to the back of his neck works wonders.

hope it helps. :)
