well, there is this guy at school and he is really nice and such and i like him but i dont know if he likes me. sometimes when we are talkin he will just randomly sign off or if i say hi then he signs off...but other times he says hi to me and makes jokes about stuff and acts really nice. i dont get it and i dont know if he likes me or not. should i ask him or not? please help!

I think he just likes you as a friend, as from the siging in and out he might just have nothing better to do.

i emailed my friend to tell her some really good news (i finally got something i worked really hard for) like three nights ago and now shes finally emailed back. its a reply from my original email and all it says is 'dya know the school website'.
am i overreacting to be hurt like i am? it seems like she doesnt care. there wasnt even a 'congrats' in there.

No your not over reacting thats not a great friend if she doesnt say good for you or congratulations. Sometimes if you do well they can become jelious, Just leave it and if she says anything more ask her why?

I have a pair of Berkenstocks that are very noisey when I walk. The leather squeaks when it rubs against the buckles with every step. Is there something I can treat them with to get rid of the squeak?

Some times putting talcome power in soaks them up and makes them less likley to rub again your buckles. If that doesnt work try vasaline.

My boyfriend is at his dads for spring break and his dad lives 3 hrs away from here. I am finding it really hard to get him off my mind. I just lay around thinking of him and waiting for him to call me. But he only calls me late so he wont get in trouble. What can i do to pass the time and get him off my mind?

play some games, take your friends out for a day out to the cinema and bowling or the beach. Or stay on your pc and find some quesionairs! just take a break and have fun, Spend time at home with your friends and invite them upfor a video and some popcorn! and jump on the sofa, Or have a sleepover and have a good time what ever you do.

ok i hate showering and bathing, cd players never help, rubberdickies annoy the living hell out of me and scents give me headaches? i never feel good in the bath/shower, please help me!

Mabe when you get in bath/shower take all the shit of off it first? Like the scents and rubberduckies? And just use soap fragrance free soup, that way you can keep having showers/baths and you wont get irratated buy them.

thanks alot xoxo

Put it in a messed up ponytail with lots of hair hanging out thats how people have it now! thats the in style with hair at the moment.
You could try small pigtails and clip the rest of the bits that fall out,
Sorry to say there isnt much you can do with short hair.

My boyfriend dumped me about a week ago and the other night, he realized that it was a bad idea. So he asked me out and we are back together, but I was wondering, is it a good idea? We love and care for each other, but there seems to be some tension still. So yeah.

Relationships are always going to have some tension its normal to feel that way after breaking up, Stop right now and talk to him about it tell him that you feel like there is alot of tension but you dont no where its come from or what its to do with, If he understand what your talking about he might be able to help you with it! He might not feel the same he might not see tensions between you you never know.

my long time boyfriend is starting to rush me. i am growing in to a very "big boobed babe" as he says, like last night, after we ate at my house he started to kiss me every where. when he went down to the chest kiss, he started to unbutten my shirt, when i told him to stop he told me to just stop talking. when i yelled stop he got up and left my house slaming the door so hard he broke the glass, i have dated a lot of guys, but i am drawn to this one, he wont talk to me and i want him back.... what should i do?

Dump him, You dont need some guy like that forcing you into doing stuff you refuse to do. Get out and find someone else dont let this guy push you around. Why should you get him back hes a perfetic guy and you could do way much better!!!
take my advice and find a new man.

how do you boost your self-esteem? mainly about your body image. i've been having a lot of trouble with my body image =\, and i don't know what to do. whenever i eat i regret eating. when i pinch my stomach i have about 4 inches of fat (and thats standing up!).. i try to keep myself away from food, but then that's all i think about & i eat alot.

thanx in advance.

Your not fat! where did you get that idea from. Look around at different people when you go out and see that people are all different and no one is the same shape, Just be proud of who you are and what you look like, Dont let anyone tell you other wise.

Tell him that you need space from him, And that he doesnt allways have to be around you. Just be honest with him and tell him what you feel.

My periods are very irregular, even though i've had them for almost 4 years now, my hair is falling out, im always tired, i get contipated and my nails are really weak. Does anyone what these symptoms could mean? my mum has a thyroid robleem and thinks i could have it also, i want to go to the docters but im terrified of needles, and they'll want a blood sample.
Please help

Im terrified of needles, But once you get it over and done with its alot better because if you dont have a needle at some point when ever you have got could be come really serious and make you so ill. You could have what your mum has, or it might be dieabetes.
