He should not be treatin you like this and you dont deserve it. Give him a little time or just wait until you see him in person. Make him listen to you, ask him why he's being like this, and tell him how you feel. If he's still trippin then you just gotta leave him cuz you dont deserve this kind of treatment. He's probably actin like this cuz he wants to show off to his friends and he's probably tryin to be incontrol of your relationship with him. Hope this helps!

Q: 16/f. ok sorry in advance. this is sort of going to be long. alright, well i moved about 6 months ago a long way from home. there was this boy in the summer. we hung out most of the summer everyday. i told him i liked him, and he told me the same. we never went out because i ended up leaving, and we werent even that close. i still cannot get him out of my head. we dont talk anymore, but i dont know what to do. i think about him ALL THE TIME. and last night i even had a dream about him. he has a GF, but i dont have a BF because every guy that wants to go out, i compare with him, and there is no comparison. sometimes i wonder if maybe he still likes me? i dont know what to do. im so confused.
Dont worry so much about that guy because your holding back on a ton of other guys that want to get to know you. Try not to compare them to him because you probably wont find anyone that will be the same as him. If he already has a gf that mean he probably moved on so you need to move on too. If things were suppose to happen they would have happened but they didn't so just keep going and eventually something will happen. Hope this helps!

Q: hi

well i appologize now fore making my question so long!

i really like this guy named ned! and he's in 9th grade i'm in 8th grade and i dont see him very often but he's often in the same bus when i drive home and well i think he likes me 2 because he is smyling at me very often and he also is looking at me all the time! but i kinda am a shy person (with boys normaly i'm everything but shy) so i never smile back even if i like him so i think ji'm kinda confusing him cause once he was in the same bus than me and i was just sittin there looking out the window and than he comes next to me and he was like:

ned:hi
me: uhm hi?
ned: how are you?
me: uhm i dont know
ned: you dont know how you are?
me: thats what i'm saying
ned: well ok..anyways are you good in school?
me: uhm i'm ok but not the best
ned: do you want a basketball? ( i think he said that because we were just driving next to a basketball field and he didnt know what to say :-)
me: uhm no?
ned: yeah me neather
me: 2 bad
ned: yeah seriously 2 bad
me: whatever
ned: soooo are you proud to be the new classpresident was it your dream?
me: no not really
ned: uhm ok do you like robert? (some guy in 8th grade 2)
me: NO WHY???
ned: because i hear rumors that your going out with him (which is totally not true!)
me: WHAT WHO SAID THAT???
ned: well i cant tell you that its a secred
me:whatever
ned: so who is like your best friend?

me: uhm...

well yeah and than my busstop came so yeah well now i want to apollogize but he wasnt in school for one week now and uhm do you think he likes me? please i need some advice!
He's interested in you so he wants to get to know you. Geez hun just be friendly and dont act like you dont care. Try being friends with him and maybe you should apologize to him. Try to make a new converesation with him and start over.

Q: Hi, I'm a 13 year old girl. I have a best friend named Dylan. We have been close for three years. I like him alot, but he doesn't feel the same way. I am really miserable and depressed, but I want him to be happy. What should I do? Should I move on and stay friends?
Staying friends is the best because you dont want to lose your best friend. You guys are already close so if you guys stay friends your friendship will grow stronger and closer. One day he might have feelings for you, but right now he doesn't so you just gotta move on. There are plenty of other guys out there so dont worry there is one out there for you. Let your best friend know that you care a lot about him and that you'll always be there. If he's happy you should be happy too. Well hope this helps!

Q: ok. i was going out w/ this guy for about 2 months. we realy liked each other, and everything, but then i realized that i still liked this other guy, and id nevr gotten over. so i dumped him, cuz i thought it wouldnt b fair to go out w/ him wen i liked another guy. well, i immediately regretted it, and i still like him, but he wont talk to me and he says he really hates me. i apologized a million times and tried to talk him into going back out w/ me. he said he still liked me, but he cant trust me, bcuz i dumped him for another guy, and he doesn't want his heart broken again. so wat should i do? i rly rly like him, and i wanna go back out w/ him, but he just dosnt trust me.
Don't worry, you did the right thing because you didn't want to him to feel hurt that you still have feelings for another guy. Try telling him why you broke up with him and let him know tha you did want him to feel hurt. You were confused and didn't want things to turn worse. Ask him why he can't trust you because its not like you ask the other guy out or anything. Just give him some time and dont worry too much because if he can't believe or trust you for any reason, he isn't the right guy for you. Hope this helps!

Q: Is there any makeup that makes your eyes look bigger?
DO NOT WEAR DARK EYELINER!!!!
To make your eyes look bigger wear WHITE eyeliner. Trust me! This is what all the runway models do. I've even tried it and it works! So remember black or dark eyeliners make your eyes look smaller and white will make them bigger. I know you didn't ask but if you want fuller looking lips use dark lip liner on the outside and a light inside. Hope this helps!!

Q: tomorrow, my boyfriend is in a play, and I told him I can't come because I have work, so he's REALLY bummed, but really, I'm gonna show up and surprise him. My question is, what should I get him? Like you would get a girl roses for a good performance, so what should you get a boyfriend? Keep it under 10-20 dollars. Just brainstorm a whole bunch of ideas. I don't care whether its unoriginal or really creative. I just cant think of ANYTHING. haha thanks.
Get him flowers and a card

Q: I just made a new friend from volleyball at school, my best friend is jealous because now i also hang out with my new friend. she says i ignore her but never do...sometime it feels like she's the one ignoring me like shes mad at me. We even had a fight just yesterday but i dont think the problem is solved because she still acts different around me.

Its like She can have other friends but i cant


I rate
Talk to your best friend more about it let her know how you feel about things. Let her know that you dont mean to have her feeling this way. Try to give each other some times alone to make new friends too. Or try hanging out with each other more. Find different activities that you both can do together. Hope this helps!

Q: Hey, does anyone know any good websites where i can get short story summaries, i tried using sparknotes.com but its confusing me.. so if you know any let me know! thanks!
Just google or yahoo it. That should work just make sure you put the author or if you know what a little about the story it will help. That's what I do when I need to find short story summaries. Hope this helps!

Q: I'm going out with this guy that my friends just absolutely hate! One of my friends even threatened to stab him in the neck with her pocket knife during church! I don't want to break up with the guy because he's absolutely perfect to me. What should I do?

prettykitty77723
You really either need to talk to your friends or just get over them. Ask your friends why they hate him so much and what he ever did to them. Ask them if they are your real friends or not because real friends wouldn't be like that they would treat him better than that. Its about you and him going out and being together. As long as your happy with this guy then you should stay with him dont break up just because of your friends. Your friends should let you be happy even if they aren't because its better to see someone happy then not being happy. Hope this helps!

Q: hey ok well i am 15 and i am in love with ym best friends little sister. i have known her my entire life and i have never thought of her as more then just like a litte sister i guess but her bro is like rele protective of her how do i ask her out without making him pissed and risk hurting my relationship with either of them or theirs with eachother she has been acting wierd around us when i am over there adn she doesnt hang out with us as much and she has a bunch of guys that r just friends that r over there all teh time too adn i feel weird like i suddenly become all protective like her bro! please help
Ask your friend how he would feel if you had feeling for his little sister. See why's the deal with all these guys. Since you've known them all your life, you might just be confused about how your feelings towards them are because the relationship between you guys have grown. If you really that you like his little sister then you should just ask her how she feels. I know you dont want to ruin your relationship with them so think carefully. If things dont work out with you and his sister things are going to change and that just means that you were meant to be like a older brother to her than a boyfriend. She may be sending your mixed messages because she isn't sure for herself. Just follow your heart, but think carefully. Hope this helps! Sorry that its sooo long!

Q: Ok well I like this guy, he's awesome, and I've liked him for like.. a year... and I don't know if I should tell him because sometimes he freaks if someone says they like him... which I no, is stupid. What should I do?
Dont tell him straight out that you like him cuz then he'll be runnin. Just flirt with him and kinda hint that you got feelings for him. Maybe you could just talk to him about things like who he likes, how he feels about you. Try talking to him more and get closer with him. Make your friendship with him stronger. Hope this helps!

Q: a lot of my friends have drifted away. what are some activities/ things i can do to get them back and let them know i still care?

Q: last night i was talking to a guy i have a little crush on and he told me he liked me a little bit. i told him i liked him a little too.

well my friend asked him if he was going to ask me out last night and he said "i dont know..i might. i just dont think shes going to do anything with me. like talk or kiss." my friends was like "yea she will! i kno [my name] and she hates people like that so dont worry!" hes like "ok maybe..i might."

so then today..she asked him if he was going to and he said "um i dont think so"

the whole day and last night i was thinking about "us". i always get my hopes up and then the get SHOT DOWN. the only reason i believe he said he liked me was because i told my friend i dont have a chance in the world with him. but then once i start believing that well be together..we arent.

am i being crazy? should i give it time? should i talk to him? what should i do? thank you soooo much. ill rate good answers. :-D
Your not crazy every girl is like that at times. Dont keep your hopes too high, but still believe that there is still hope. Just give this guy some time and keep getting to know him. Talk to him and let him know how you feel. Dont force or rush him into anything. All guys get confused with their feelings so just let him get things straight then maybe ask him if he's interested. If he's not dont worry there are plenty of guys out there. I know how you feel and what your going through becuase I'm in the same situation and I'm just lettings things settle down. Just go with whatever comes towards you. Hope this helps!

Q: hey me and my friend have been friends since kindergarden and now i think its not the same we have just gotten into middel school so u meet all new friends and start hangingout with them i feel like i dont even want to be friends with her she didnt want to go to the football game with me because she wanted to go with her "new" friends and didnt want to go with any old friends if anyone can help im me or something GeorgiaGal48
Dont worry everyone goes through this time and its gets worst as your getting older but as long as you stay yourself everything will turn out fine. You should give your friend sometime to be with her new friends and you should make new friends during this time. Try to work out days where you guys can hang out and catch up. Dont stop being friends with them because you'll regret it. Whenever you guys need each other just be there for each other dont let each other go. Its best to make new friends its great to stay with your old friends but you should try new things. It makes it easier for you when you go on to high school and college. Hope this helps!

Q: i sumtimes think i am depressed


but wen i talk 2 my frends bout it the say no your not you cant b you have the perfect life(my parents arent divorded) and so0 if you were depressed it wouldnt be real!

also wen im around them(my friends) i feel sad!

i dont no whats going on but it worries me and ill also cry for no reason!

i cant talk 2 my friends about this though!

what should i do???
Dont worry because everyone has a time in their life where they feel depressed. Your friends aren't helping you by telling your not somethings you think you are. That's true that no one has a perfect life, but being depressed isn't about having divorded parents. You should really try to talk to your parents or find someone who is helpful and trustworthy. Don't let everything stay inside of you. You need to express yourself and be yourself. If your not happy around your friends you should try to find new people to talk to. When you feel like crying then cry because after your done crying you'll feel better. Dont worry too much about things just try to relax and have a good time. I know how you feel because there are days I got through this. Sometimes I feel depressed because I'm either stressed or I have a lot on my mind. If you ever need to talk to someone then just leave something in my inbox or your if you want to talk online my aim sn is xbabyguccigirlx . Hope this helps!

Q: I`m on my period. I was just in the shower and I saw all the blood coming out. Now I feel really dizzy, my neck hurts badly, and I feel like I`m going to pass out. I have a major cramp and I also feel like I`m going to throw up. We don't have any Midol and I`m home alone so my mom can`t get me any. What should I Do?
Dont worry just relax. Go lay down and close your eyes for a while. Everyone's body will react when they see blood so your just a little nervous or scared. Just relax and if you need to just call your mom and let her know how you feel or maybe call someone to come over. Take a different kind of pain reliever. Hope this helps and feel better!

Q: Okay, my friend (we'll call her mary) and I are about the same size, except i'm a bit leaner because i'm tall and stuff. But she ALWAYS wants to borrow my clothes. I didn't mind at first but now it's coming to every day -- she sees what i'm wearing and says "I'm borrowing that." Also, our other friend is like 2 sizes smaller than us but "mary" has even borrowed clothes from her. "Mary" has worn my petite friend's favorite hoodie more times than she has!
Its really starting to get on both of our nerves. During the summer I let her borrow one of my coolest skirts and she got a stain on it. Yeah, it's tiny. But I mean, come on. Also, she always says I can borrow any of her clothes whenever I want when she borrows mine. But the truth is, her fashion sense sucks. All she does is buy brand names and the clothes are usually the wrong size for her because shes in denial about being a size xlarge. So, she gives the clothes to our small friend who could practically wear them as nightshirts their so big on her. Anyway, so should I just keep kinda ignoring her requests to borrow my clothes or just let her borrow them once in awhile to keep her sated? Or just outright tell her that she stretches out my clothes? WHAT?
You should just tell your friend the truth and explain to her why you dont want her borrowing your clothes. Let her know that your not trying to be mean but you just can't stand it anymore. If she doesn't take it well then she isn't being a good friend because she should repect your reasons. If you dont want to tell her the truth then say that your parents dont like you sharing your clothes so she can't borrow them anymore. Or tell her that your not comfortable sharing clothes with anyone anymore. Hope this helps!

Q: ok... I Have A Boyfriend And Hes The Oppisite Color Of Me But I Dont Care About That!...But Everyone Says That I Should Date My Own Color...And I Think He Likes Another Girl..But HE SAYS HE DONT...Everyone Is Tellin Me That They Were Together At The Festival this Year But i Ingoure Them But What Do i Do Belive Him or Them??...
That's right you shouldn't matter about skin color. We are all the same. Dont let others tell you want to believe in. You are yourself and thats their opinion on skin color and relationships. As long as you and your boyfriend are true to each other and love each other then nothing else should matter. Dont doubt your boyfriend if he says he doesn't like that other girl then he doesn't. Just follow your heart! Hope this helps!
