Sometimes I get really lonely for no reason. I'm always around family and friends but I feel really lonely. I just feel down and depressed. I don't know why I feel so lonely and abandoned. Does anyone know what's wrong with me? (link)
Hey Hun,

Well im sure their is a possible reason for you feeling lonely. I know I had the same problem of being lonely when I left my middle school I like lived growing up around all these people and I had to leave everyone my friends, my middle school sweetheart I always dreamed of having, everything I ever thought could complete me! But now its like idk im always around friends and family but still something inside of me misses my past so so bad, but all you gotta do is smile an keep going on with the day an just hope that maybe its gods test you know! But hope I helped!!

I SERIOUSLY CRYED MY EYES OUT. my best friend has a boyfriend that i know she wouldnt leave but its just that i really really like bobby and it just sucks!!! what can i do??!?!?!?!?


PLEASE I WILL RATE 5'S!!! (link)
Hey,

Well your friend seems like she was trying to do you the favor of asking him did he like you. But she did it in the most incorrect way ever. Plus yeah she told you the truth about what he said but did she ever think about what kinda reaction you would have to it? Yeah truth hurts but what hurts more is it coming from your best friend. But really you should try to just be you around this boy, if he cant accept that then pshh..he wasnt really worth your time anyway an im sure your a very pretty girl an their is plenty more boys out their worth your time an etc. Plus its not like you were IN-LOVE with this boy, but yeah it hurts but time cures everything an im sure you will move on sooner or later!!

-Stephanie


ok.. so there's this guy. we used to be BEST FRIENDS.. we talked about everything. he would flirt with me all the time even if he HAD girlfriends (one happened to be my best friend) and i admit i flirted back. sooner or later i fell for him.. and this was also even when he had a girlfriend. only my close friends knew, but my heart seriously ACHED for him. his girlfriend broke up with him.. he was SINGLE.. things didn't change.. still best friends. so then he asks out my best friend again (the one he went out with before) and she turns him down and him and his friend call me one night and tell me he likes me alot and he asks me out. OF COURSE i say yes.. we were together.. everything was perfect. he was the perfect boyfriend anyone could ever ask for. his smile was amazing and he could make me laugh no matter how bad i felt. but then i got a text message just out of the blue after a week or so of us going out and he says he wants to just be friends like we used to be.. and my heart just drops. i cry and cry.. all my friends were calling me and i couldn't even talk while tears were running down my face. the next day i sat right next to him in social studies and i felt tears swelling up in my eyes. he tried to make things go back to normal and we talked.. just acted like everything was alright when inside i was dying. so then i find out more news.. he got a new girlfriend. and surprisingly i don't care because she has liked him for a LONG time and i'm happy for her.. we were just aquantices (can't spell) so it wasn't one of those "going out with your friend's ex" type of situation. but there's more.. i find out he cheated on his ex-girlfriend.. not my best friend, but the other one. my whole world falls apart. i don't think of him the same way.. i thought he was the perfect guy ever. it may not seem like a big deal, but it just makes me wonder.... for weeks i have been ignoring him and he knows why now. but i STILL miss him.. i want him back so bad.. i mean if he asked me back out i would say no just because of all the pain he put me through.. or would i? yesterday he wasn't at school and all i could do is put my hand down.. him being absent ONE DAY killed me. it's like i hate him when he's there, but when he's gonna i love him sooo much. even when he isn't there i still think i secretly love him, but i just don't want to admit it. i mean.. there are other guys who have my eye right now.. i LIKE them.. but i LOVE him. i seriously think he's THE one. i probably seem really stupid, but you don't understand. he was AMAZINNGGG.. he was so sweet to me and funny and outgoing.. and he was smart.. he could actually hold a conversation. he would stick up for me when other guys were being jerks and his hugs were so cute and cuddly. anyways.. what i'm saying is.. idk what to do. it seems like my heart's incomplete without him. maybe i should move on? or just wait? if he just wants to be friends.. then i guess that's what i'll have to do.. but i just want so much more than that. and plus i still hate him, but i love him?! wtf.. ok.. just please help me.. (link)
Hey,


Its like my old saying that I tell all of my friends..."IF HE IS WORTH HAVING HE IS WORTH WAITING FOR"! Honestly, I have been in the same situation cept he was single an EXTREMLY confused, good god played so many mind games, went out with my best friend then denied it now we are like no longer best friends over this boy. But just what I would suggest with the whole situation is just think about what I said up there in the beginning of my answer to your question!!

-Stephanie


yea ok.... im 16 and i cant find a good bra that like fits me and stuff.... like i want a push up but i need it in a 34D or 38D and all that i can find one in is C's and then they are too small... does anyone know where i could find a good one?? (link)
Hey,


Well check online you know at google.com! Their is a store here where I live at the mall with girls who are like real big cup sizes an im sure they would have something to fit you, you just gotta look around at different places an call around!! Anyway hope I helpd ya out!!

-Stephanie


My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year. He's going away to college this fall, two and a half hours away. We've been apart for a three months, that's it and it was very hard. He says he's going to try to come home every weekend or at least every other weekend. We've started talking about it, and the only thing we have decided on is to attempt staying together, but we're both afraid of it hurting too much. I tell him that I'm still going to be in the same boring town, with no new people, he's the one going to a completely different place (but it's an automotive college, so not a lot of girls), then he pulls out of card of me going to college in a year, but I'll be going somewhere only 45 minutes away from our home town. What can I do to relax about him going away and keep the person that I love more than anything???? (link)
Hey,


Well my cousin was in the same situation except her boyfriend was 2yrs ahead of her in college. It is a bad situation to be in ya know with the love of your life being however many miles away he might be. All you need to do is relax. Dont think about it that much, have him call you like every now in then during the day an update you on what he is doing an stuff, an im sure you would feel better about the situation. If not then try exsplaing to your parents how much you love him or w/e an see if they would let you go some day out of the month to see him. Believe me as long as you dont think about it, it will defiently get better over time!!

*JUST REMEMBER*
-Absence makes the Heart grow fonder-


It was midnight,i ve been walking through the graves ..there was noone exept me to cemetery..only darkness..and terrifying silence,someone waswhispering,laughing ..thought had gone mad..i did it for forgetting u,but even there i couldn't have done it,even fear couldn't make me put your name out of my mind..you'd never know how much i prayed to be with you.feel there's no one who can help me (link)
Hey,

Aw, this is kinda wierd but is it like a poem or story of something that happened in your life? Anywho..nice work if its just a writing it has alot of feeling in it! But what exactly is your question?

-Stephanie


This is probaly a stupid question but I would really like to know. Do guys think about girls after they break up with them? I mean my boyfriend "well was my boyfriend broke up with me yesterday in the hallway at school, in front of a lot of people. The nerve of that idiot, and then he asks me if we can still be friends. But I still miss him a lot and I still like him I hate to say. Do you think he's thinking about me at all? (link)
Hey Sweetie,

Of course he still is thinking about you. Alot of boys feel the need to breakup with their girlfriends for no apparent reason if thats what he did with you usually because of "Another girl". But your gonna have to learn that your probably still young, an you will look back an think this was all puppy love hopefully in the future but yes I know you can never determine fate from what you make all you can do it live it. As of the other people in the hallway dont worry about it, honestly they arent important an if its that bad to the point that they were talking about it then obviously they have no life if they are waisting their life on talking about your life! Just be you, stay beautiful and always "TRUST your instincts" and remember, if he is worth having he is worth waiting for, an that goes for any boy even your ex!!

-Stephanie-


Is this weird or not? My ex liked babysitting kids for like hours at his church. He never wanted to spend time with me. Plus he told me he was sexually molested by some guy at his church, which to me makes it even freakier he likes watching these kids. (link)
Hey,

No this is not wierd!! Anyone who thinks this is wierd is insane. It is obviously shown that your bf has some hurt left inside him. Somewhere he is scarred for life now because of the actions of another person. I think your bf might just want to be with these kids so nothing like that happens to them. Honestly it seems to me like he is scared for other kids to expierence what he expierenced!! But if you think it is wierd then ask him about it!!

Ok, does anyone know any good excercises for your groin(d) muscles? Like the muscles in between your legs? Also, any other good excercises for horseback riders? Thank you! (link)
Hey,

I did some research online an this is what I found...





(1) The groin and hamstring stretch. Simply sit on the floor with your legs extended forward and spread sideways as far as possible. Turn your toes upward, and bend forward at the waist to grasp your feet, flexibility permitting, or else your ankles. Bring your forehead as close to the floor as pain and flexibility permit, and hold this position for about 15 seconds, before returning to the starting position and resting for a short period. Perform this sequence about 10 times after a workout is over.

(2) Groin stretch. Sit on the floor with your head up and your back straight. Then, flex your knees and bring the soles of your feet together. Place your hands on your knees, and press your knees gently toward the floor as far as flexibility and pain permit. Hold this position for about 10 seconds, and then return to start position, resting briefly. Also perform this sequence 10 times after workouts.

...and these strengtheners
The following exercise is commonly recommended for strengthening the groin muscles:

(1) Inward leg presses. Simply sit on the floor, and place a volleyball, soccer ball, basketball, medicine ball, or even a large, tightly rolled towel between your knees. Squeeze your knees together as forcefully as possible (pain permitting). Hold this position for 15 seconds, return to the start position, and rest for a few seconds before repeating nine more times.
Note, however, that inward leg presses are not very functional. We must remember that gains in strength for particular muscle groups are specific to the actual movements utilised during strength training. Thus, inward leg presses make the adductor muscles strong during seated exercise, but few sporting activities are carried out in a seated position, and those that are conducted from a sitting posture have a low risk of groin injury. Thus, the following two exercises will do a better job of making the adductor muscles strong during movement:

(2) 'Indian-hop' for 45 seconds, rest for 15 seconds, and then Indian-hop for 45 more seconds. To Indian-hop, jog for a few strides and then jog diagonally to the right with your right foot. When your right foot makes contact with the ground, hop in place.. When your right foot comes down to earth from this single hop, explosively hop diagonally to the left, landing on your left foot. When your left foot strikes terra firma, hop once in place and then explode diagonally to the right. Your right foot, will then hit, hop, explode diagonally to the left (not literally), and so on. Stay relaxed at all times as you carry out this drill; try to move in a coordinated and rhythmic manner. Stop the exercise if groin discomfort arises. Carry out this exercise several times a week, but only after a thorough warm-up.

(3) One-leg squats on a wobble board. To do these, stand with your left foot forward and your right foot back, with your feet about one shin-length apart (they should be hip-width apart from side to side). Your left foot should be securely positioned in the centre of a wobble board which is set so that the instability occurs in a lateral plane (ie, from side to side). Place the toes of your right foot on a block or step which is six to eight inches high. Most of your weight should be directed through the heel to mid-portion of your left foot. Now, bend the left leg and lower your body until your left knee reaches an angle of 90 degrees between the thigh and lower leg, at the same time resisting the tendency of the wobble board to rock from side to side. Then, return to the starting position, maintaining upright posture with your trunk and holding your hands at your sides. Complete 12 reps, and then do the same thing with your right foot forward and your left foot back. Finally, carry out one more set with each leg (you should use this exercise four to five times per week, always following appropriate warm-up).
If a groin pull keeps you away from training for more than a
few days, maintain your cardiovascular fitness by swimming freestyle or cycling fairly intensely (cycling should not aggravate groin conditions, provided the bike seat is not set too high). Once you are symptom-free, you can resume regular training, using the above stretches and exercises on a regular basis.

alright I realize this might sound strange, but you know the saying "trust your instincts", yeah how do people know WHAT insticts to trust??! We got so many!! It's like yesterday, I got the feeling that I should turn off the computer and go help my brother with his homework, I dont know why it just felt like something was about to hapen to him..so I did. But ended up falling asleep next to him, forgot to study, and am now, because of that pop-quiz, failing history. And in the middle of the night sometimes I get this feeling that I have to turn on the light, so I wake up, do that, and then can't fall asleep again, and I end up being totally grumpy the next day. And sometimes when people say pick a number, I have no clue what my insticts are telling me..ยด

so how do we know the difference between insticts/warnings and just regular thoughts or feelings? How do we know which of all our instincts to trust? (link)
Hey,

Instincts are like responses or reactions to certain kinds of situations. Warnings is usually something you do its like you think about something before you do it.

If honestly you arent sure what your instincts are...Usually just pick what you think will benefit you. For instance would if benefit you if you went an helped your brother with his homework?? YES, it would because in the end you would feel good about helping him right? And if at night you have the feeling you need to turn on the light think to yourself, how is this benefitting me, is it going to help me with my day tommrow or only make me more exhausted then I already am?

-Hope I helped somewhat-

I'm trying to be friends with my ex, and we usually get online and can talk online like friens. But every once in a while he'll flip out on me and tell me how everything in our relationship was my fault, and its my fault we're not together....when he broke up with me. WE were talking online and he says something about it, and I told him how I felt about it, and then he got all defensive. I told him I was sorry, and he's just like ohwell... he's being so lame. And he has a new girlfriend. I don't understand what his problem is.

Any advice on just how to be friends without freaking out on eachother?


The X. (link)
Hey,

Well im glad to say I have a ton of information about this SAME situation.

Ok well I was in a relationship for 3yrs (6th-8th grade). Everything was perfect I mean beyond perfect it was like a dream. Until we both were moving, I was moving out of the area an my ex was moving out of state. So we always talked online, told each other how much we missed one another and loved one another.

I did love him very much though, I loved him enough to not talk to any other boys an just remain waiting on him, because he always told me he would find a way to come back. Until one day something told me to stop waiting on something that will probably never happen. NO idea why in this world that lightbulb in my head turned on but it did. So I decided to go off an do stuff for once, Hanging out with my friends an etc.

One night though, everything changed because I met this boy who I thought was amazingly perfect I mean god he was cute southern boy with like a big truck an everything. We met my first time ever mudding cause my friends an I went muddin with him. Although I didnt wanna get into anything with him at the time because he had a gf whitch happened to be out of town an I respected the situation he was in, But little did I know they were on the verge of breaking up because she had been cheating on him for a while, an yeah.

So then this yr when school started I seen him. And man did he look good, but I couldnt talk to him because I wasnt sure if it was right. As the month went by well first month of school I would say, sports began. I decided to run cross country an um yeah we started talking an eventually hooke d up!!

So heres where it all started, my ex got online one day. He seen I had an away message telling where I was an that I was with another boy or w/e. He then flipped out on me telling me I wasnt anything to him, he never loved me, then the next day tryed to make up with me, thenn went back to arguing about the same b/s trying to make me feel guilty for moving on! Believe me, being friends with an ex takes PATIENCE alot because if you dont have patience then you dont reall have anything.

And I have learned to not even IM him, dont ask him about any new girls in his life, or any new ppl he has met because boys tend to blow it up in your face belive me I have heard everything from my ex. Now we are like friends but probably wont be as good/close as we were. But I guess its for the best, I mean I cant argue with it because I would rather just keep everything calm without arguing instead of arguing about every little thing an what mistakes we both made!!

ANYWAY sorry for my long long story, hope I helped but if you would like my screenname for aol/aim is OHILOVETRAVIS so IM me if you need any advice!! Cause im here for you if you need it!

If i ran on the tredmill 20 minutes everyday how much weight would I loose? I wanna loose like 15-20 lbs before the summer, so by like june. Do you think its possable. What else can i do to help?

thankss
i rate 5's (link)
Hey,

Yes it is possible for you to loose weight. Try keeping a paise when you run. For example, try running a certain speed at a certain time. But don't stop, just push yourself to stay at the same speed you have started out as. And remember dont start off fast an then slow down or stop because that can mess up your paise an cause you to overwork your cardiovascular system an your heartrate! So keep pushing yourself an set goals for yourself like different times to run daily or go like 20min one week an 25 the next an you know just keep your head up you will be fine if you keep doing as you have been!!

-Stephanie


I have a field trip thursday and you have to dress up for it well the buses go alphabetically so the kid i lie is gunna be on it and i found out today that he is in fact going so now i will being seein him like all day and i wanna look really nice!!! any suggestion...?
thanksabunch (link)
Hey,


Ok, this sounds pretty cool the guy you like on the same bus wow you got lucky!!

Alrighty then if your trying to make something up that looks extremly cute I would suggest a cute shirt doesnt have to be hoeish or anything maybe a cute shirt like a solid shirt that is a low cute v-kneck an wear a tank top under that. Find a cute necklace to wear, an a jean skirt an flip flops to match your shirt. And it would look extremly cute!!

Well hope I helped, just remember be you be original, stay sweet an be as your are!!

-Stephanie


me and my husband are trying to have a baby...but my best friend of seven years called my mom behind my back and was telling her that she doesnt want me to get pregnant, and that she doesnt want us to be together and that when she gets home shes gonna do everything in her power to split us up...she even said she was gonna bring a bunch of guys around me and stuff to try and get me to leave him to go with these guys so...i told my husband about it and he got mad and said i shouldnt even talk to her anymore...so i wrote her a letter telling her how i felt...i told her that it was selfish for her to want to split us up when i am happy she should be happy for me so she called me and said that i was selfish because i didnt want to come to mississippi to see her and stuff and that was selfish of me so she evidently thinks its ok for her to do what she did because i couldnt just up and go to mississippi to see her...what should i do? (link)
Hey,


Ok I honestly don't think she is your *friend* if she is going to go behind your back an do that. If that were me in your friend's position I would tell you how it would change things if you were to have a baby, So she probably thinks that if you have a baby you wouldnt care about yalls friendship an it would probably fade away because of something new in your life. So obviously your friend is probably more than likely jealous!! But I dont think this should ruin anything you should just talk to her an exsplain to her that it bothers you that she cant come to you with her problems, an let her know how much you love her an that nothing will change if you have a new love in your life.! Hope I helped somewhat!


-Stephanie


ok... yea.. i have this friend that i like alot and he knows that i do adn i was told that he said that he dont like anyone at the moment but when ever we go out to lunch and stuff cuz z group of friends and me go out to lunch from school, he like sits next to me and it seems like he flirts with me and stuff.... adn i like him alot but i dont know if he likes me and i want to go out with him.. so what should i do??? by the way im 16 adn female (link)
Hey,


The only way for your to let him know is to be straight up with him an honest to yourself an him about how you feel. And if you feel it is the right thing, an it might make your friendship grow somewhat, then don't be shy tell him!!

-Stephanie


okay so my nose has blackheads and i wanna get rid of them my friend said "elmers glue" does anyone know if that works? i dont have enough $ for pro-activ and those pore strips don't work.
16/f (link)
Hey!


I would definetly reccomend using a rag an soaking it in hott water because heat helps open your pores. Also sun helps your skin as well. So definetly if your not into spending alot of money on all of those non-working items, I would reccomend you applying heat because half of those facial scrubs include heat an etc. to open your pores!! Anyway hope I helped!!

-Stephanie


If you smoke Chronic ^Marijuana laced with Cocaine^ is there a possibility that you will become addicted to cocaine alone or both marijuana and cocaine?

Please help i'll rate high for good answers! (link)
Hey Hun,

Marijuana isnt addictive, but I do know for a fact Cocaine is because my friend did it. And she ended up mixing it an she like had to go to classes to help her addiction but in my opinion that only made it worst because she craved it more an she did it more so that just made her like a drug addict, an we no longer hang out because of it =[!

-Stephanie-


im a 15/f and kinda a chunk monkey and i want to begin running b/c i played lacrosse this year n ran out of breathe pretty quick. so i was wondering what would be the best way to build up my endurance and lose weight quickly so by fall ill b able to play field hockey and keep up w/ the other girls? (link)
Hey Sweetie,


Ok haha this is a very good question for me to give advice on.

You should first start off by jogging because it's always good to build your cardiovascular system up, if your not used to breathing and stuff. Now remember as your jogging dont stop, believe me you will feel better in the end. Just pick a really good paise to jog at. Once you learn how to keep your paise you can build that into a little bit more of a jog but always remember, dont like jog then stop jog then stop, because it only messes up your paise an messes with your heart rate whitch causes you to over work yourself and that isnt good.

Also eating stuff in the food pyriamid helps alot. You dont techniqually have to eat just veggies and etc, but you can follow something off of the food pyriamid an you should be fine!

Hope I helped ya out!

Stephanie-

*good luck with lacrosse*
