about

Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm a sophmore in highschool. I've been through many exhausting and depressing trials with friendship and drama and know my fair share of heartbreak. If you have a problem I'll be here to answer so don't be hesitant. :]


advice

Ok...

im dating this guy its gonna be 2 years soon...but hes really jelous like he always think im flriting with every guy i talk to..and i had this best friend we'll call him tyler..well since me and my boyfriend are fighting alot about the flirting thing im hanging arould tyler more and i think im starting to like him more than a friend but i still love my boyfriend and im extremly confused..i need some help fast!

thanks if ur advice isnt mean ill rate all 5's

Ok, stop hanging around Tyler.. you are only making things worse. If you want to make things right just apologize like crazy to your boyfriend, and stop flirting as much as you have been with Tyler. I mean, you claim to LOVE your boyfriend, but how can you really love him if you are flirting with some other dude?

Spring's here- not the best weather but it's here! What's the best tips on keeping a healthy garden [don't tell me about fertilizers!] and making it prospere to it's best? I usually have little tomato plants, zuchini, cucumbers, etc etc and I tried corn but it didn't work so well. I have a nice amount of space so if you know of anything that's easy and grows well please list. Thanks!

I remember my mom and I used to have a garden. Our easiest plants were Eggplant, Squash ( it get's really big though, with large leaves) and Red peppers or chilis.

just some suggestions. :)

Weird question, but okay.. do you find it normal to like someone alot that you've never met? I think that its normal to an extent- like a celeb.. but what do you think?

it depends, if its someone you meet over the interenet, they can be fake but you like them for personality.. and if it's a celebrity it's superficial..

Ask your math teacher about tutoring, usually they have some sort of program set up and since you have 2 monthes you should have plenty of time. :)

How do I get rid of my writers' block?

well.. I get artist block a lot, usually I just take a break.. or look at pictures of like, band members and stuff on the net. Something funny will be up and I'll get a little bit of inspiration.. read around, browse, and you'll find something inspiring.

hey evryone! this is kind of a weird question, but i need help. see, i write HORRIBLE stories! it's not because i don't have a good imagination or anything, just that i always have a bad time starting (how to start, WHAT to start on, etc.). then, when i finally do, i think up this awesome story, but then i can't stop! i have so many ideas, that in the end, since i don't have time to write it all down (my awesome story) i end up having to end it with something quick and dumb. so i have a great beginning, and a very detailed middle, then in the end i write the first and quickest thing that pops into my mind and that kills the story and it sucks. so how can i find a way to start a story in the least amount of time, and how do i control all of my ideas so that it doesn't take too long so that my story doesn't suck?

Write all of your ideas down first in a brainstorm, that way you can write about everything in order and elaborate in your own time. :)

I had a first date with this guy Jack last night. We have been talking for a while, and so I asked him out, and we went to the movies, and to a friends house afterwards. The date itself was good, no akward silences, kept the conversation going, and he held my hand, which I wasnt expecting him to do, because he is quite shy. At the end of the night, he walked me to my door, and gave me a hug. I almost kissed him, because I thought he would be too shy to make a first move, but he turned away, so I ended up kissing his cheek (and I am so embaressed about it) He said that he didnt want to get me sick (he has been sick for the last week, or something) Do you think thats the real reason, or did he just not want to kiss yet? Is there anything I could say to him to fix this?

You said yourself he's shy, it could be that he's sick, or that he's shy. But you know, a hug and a hand hold on the first date isn't bad, so give him time, he'll come around. :)

i know you are going to read this and think its me, its not and actually i don't care what you think..anyways, my friend thinks shes pregnant. shes 2 weeks late on her period. she got some kind of infection where she had to take medicine that might delay her period a little bit. she took a pregnancy test and she said that if 2 lines show up, then shes pregnant..she showed me the test and i saw 2 lines, one was slightly darker than the other..but i saw 2 lines. she claims shes not pregnant, but is going to take another test. i dont know what to do for her...?

well tell her to take the test again, it could just be the medicene so don't panic util you really know. When she does you can always take her to planned parenthood and they will help you out.

Hi! Okay i am a really thin person....i am NOT Anorexic i swear! I eat actually alot, i just dont gain the pounds as fast! But my hands in the winter they will like turn colors...like in gym they will trun purple and red and stuff. And if you squeeze them they will turn red! Is this normal...my one friend said it could be a blood clot! Help me

tell your friend to shut the hell up. for starters. My arms and hands are just the same way.. you can see my veins and stuff in the winter and my thumbpads sorta turn purplish redish sometimes if I get really cold.. it's never posed a problem for me, so I'd suppose it's normal..

Heylo everyone,
i'm going on hols tomorrow (yay) but my lil bro always goes through my stuff!!! i'm gonna be on my period so i dont want him looking through my suitcase like he always does and finding the pads. so where can i hide them? i've had the idea of like rolling them up in my socks but i think they might be too thick or it might damage the pad or curl it up and make it hard to wear?

do you have a coat with zippers and stuff.. shove them into the pockets of those, or if your taking another carry bag put it in a spot of that. :) good luck.. ps. you could always get your parents to make your brother leave your stuff alone. *shrug*

I am 13 years of age and I had my period two times last year. Only two times because it started at the end of the year. I've only had it two times because I haven't had it this year yet. Is that normal? Is that supposed to happen? Is it healthy when you period does that?

At first it's a little rocky, sometimes a girl can have it one time.. like, 2 years before her actual period starts. Dont worry, it is very normal. :)

my dad was going out with this girl for like.... 3 years...they've been going on and off for a pretty long time and they just broke up! now, he is ALWAYS moping around and ALL of this stuff! i will ask him what is wrong and he will always say..."nothing just depressed." i mean im really concerned...what can i tell him without him freaking out on me?

Let him get over it by himself, I mean, a three year relationship? That's gotta be tough. Just be extra nice to him, smile at him when you see him, anything to make him feel better would probably be a good thing.

Okay, well I have been talking to this guy for over a year. We get together almost every weekend. We tell each other everything. Here's the problem ..lol I like him ALOT and he knows it. He tells me he loves me and we talk on the phone everday we can't see each other. (he lives in a diff. city like 30 min. away) He tells his friends he likes me. But then again we fight a lot. But they never last long and we are cool again within a few min.(the fighting has stopped now unless we are joking around)He has turned down other girls because we are *talking*. But he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet. Do you think he will or am I wasting my time?

p.s.-a week ago he told someone he was thinking about asking me out...but a week has gone by and he hasnt but we still talk ALL the time? What do you think is going to happen? What do you think he is thinking?
I am 14
He is 14

your 14, I think you should give it time, if he's not sure then maybe it's not worth it but you should wait definately. Be patient! It's hard but maybe you should start dropping more advanced hits toward him? He may get the more motive to ask you.

Okay. Well, I met this person over the summer and we became really good friends. But then my friend met this OTHER person at a camp she went to, and now all she talks about is him! She keeps bringing him up and talks about how cool he is, and how she wished they lived closer together. It really hurt me, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make her feel bad. But then last night, she said that he was cooler than me, and I snapped at her to quit talking about him. I think she mad at me now, she won't talk to me. I still want to be friends with her, but... What should I do?

You were right to think it was sort of uncomfortable if she talked about her other friend all the time. Maybe she thinks you have had other friends and aren't her friend anymore.. so she feels the need to talk about her new friend to make up for it, and seem like she has friend of her own. You've already confronted her about it, so now you've got another hill to get over. I think you should tell her what you told me. "you still want to be friends with her." If you show you care, and that it really hurt your feelings for her to be constantly talking about someone else, then maybe she'll understand, and stop, and be more understanding of how you feel about your relationship.

I hope I helped, if you need anymore help or there was something I wasn't clear enough on ask me a more direct question. :) good luck.

What if someone said something offensive about you and you had a disablity, and ur friends and family didnt do much to defend you? I have the right to be mad right? I have the right to be mad at my family for not defending me right? what should i do?

well you can't hold a grudge forever, but yea I'd be pissed if one of my friends, much more my family did that. Have you confronted them about how your mad? if they have said sorry than you should forgive them, there really isn't anyway to completely heal the problem.

I was having a semi-asthma attack on the phone with my boyfriend, and if you've ever had an asthma attack you aren't able to talk without hurting yourself. My boyfriend was asking over and over if I could breathe, well obviously not? I wouldn't answer because it hurt for me to talk and I finally answered with "No!" Then he takes it all defensivly and was like "Sorry! I was just trying to help, but you keep shutting me out." I wasn't shutting him out was I? I was just trying to be able to breathe... Any Advice?

Explain to him the situation, if he's a good person he'll understand that it's a medical condition and that you couldn't breath so you had to struggle and yell out "no". I think if you talk to him you guys should be ok.

ok..is it possible for someone to only have their period every other month??...i rate

When you first get it, it sometimes takes some time to get regular. It'll get more predictable as time goes on.

i joined lacrosse and my legs hurt really bad from running.. how can i make it feel better?? and do you have any lacrosse tips?

2 words, icy hot. It helps sooth muscles really really well and I use it when I'm sore a lot of the time after soccer. Also you can just take an ice pack and place it on the spot for an hour, and then put warmth on it from like.. a heating pad.

Hi I'm 13 and I have never been very popular and I have never had many friends at school. I was always the straight A student and the goody goody and thats just how I was. But this year I decided to try to make friends. A lot of friends. I started to bend the rules a little bit. Once I found out that I could get away with anything because I was comsidered the good child I just couldn't stop. I became very popular and started not doing my homework. I figured whats wrong with that? I'm just like evryone else I'm not weird I'm cool. But now I'm rude and I don't care about my work at all. I ruined my straight A's and now I don't know what to do. I just want to go back and be able to control my self and not have the pressure to keep my so called frineds. What can I do?

#1, set aside time for your hw.. before you go out and do ANYTHING else.. go do it. With the extra time you can do stuff with your friends. Popularity isn't everything in life because your grades are mostly what matter now, but friends are good to have there to back you up. You'll find out who your real friends are when you go back to being your real self.
