ok well the other day i went to my grams house that i never go to and she said that i can come live with her if i want. i havent said anything to my mom is cause she will blow up at me and tell me that im not there enough to wanna move in. but my grams rules are alot cooler then my moms. im gettin a new remodled room later curfue and more TRUST which is wat i want. pluz she is rite by my friends and my dad. so i wanna go there but i dont wanna hurt my mom or have her get mad at me so how do i tell her? plz help ill rate high.

tell your mom as nicely as you can, tell her you love living with her and will drop by as often as possible but you feel living with your grams will help you create a better relationship with her and thats something you really want. Your mom will know your serious about this and should approve of the idea more.
hope everything works out the way you want it to,

Im a 14 year old girl, and i am in 8th grade. i Was going out with this one gay....lets call him Jay, i was going out with Jay for 4 months and i think he was my first true love, i still love him but i dumped him because it just had to be done, he didnt treat me right but that didnt stop me from loving him and i still do, the next day his best friend asked me out because he had been crushing on me for 3 months and i said yes because he was super nice, sweet, i knew he would treat me right, and he has. Lets call this guy Tom, well me and tom have been going out for a little more than a month now and he is amazing, and my feelings for my ex are starting to come back, i do not want to be with him, no mader how much i love him i can never be with him again, i guess my question to you is, how do i make these felings go away? or do i let them come back because what is ment to be is what it ment to be... anything helps, thank you!

-Ugh lets call me Wendy (link)
It takes quite a while for feelings like your to go away but trust me one day they will and on that day you'll have a whole new outlook on life and know that you made the right decision by not going back with ''jay'' and sticking with guys that will treat you the way they should. All you can do is wait untill your ready to move on and not rush to get any old feelings out of the way.
hope this helps, good luck

Things have been really not too good lately. I'm 15, female and I know this is the time when everybody changes. But OK I have 2 BFFs - like, I have other best/close friends but these 2 are like my best best friends if that makes sense - well anyway, I am not too fond of change and seems like everything is changing. Last week was our spring break, these 2 girls and I usually would have done everything together, but we didn't hang out that much by ourselves, only in bigger groups and only sometimes. We don't feel like BFFs anymore. And another thing, one of them is switching schools next year to go to a private school, so IDK. Can someone just help me, explain to me whats going on? The one girl, Michelle, was kinda being mean to me and they don't seem to tell me stuff anymore. Should I just forget about them and hang with other friends? But they're my BEST friends and I will miss that. Also, not Michelle but the other one, her dad was just diagnosed with cancer so maybe thats making her act weird and I want to be there for her but Michelle has no excuse. I'll rate 5s for anything that helps, sorry if its long and confusing! But tomorrow in Italian we're supposed to pick partners for this big project and Michelle's in my class so I don't know how that will go .. so just help me please! Oh, and I haven't talked to them about it and I don't think we could really TALK about it. But, anyway, Thanks! (link)
unfortunatly things change all the time especially with friends, most friends grow apart because they don't need each other anymore. If you really can't talk to your friends then maybe your friendship with them wasn't ment to last forever it might be a good idea to start making new friends but still be friends with your old ones.
hope this helps any, xshandix


Ok so I came out to my family and friends three years ago. I haven't "liked" any specific guys before or had crushed on them or thought they were hot or anything (like I look at pictures in magazines of naked guys and I think the photography is good and they look "nice" but I do that with girls too) and I always had "crushes" on girls and thought they were hot.
So last year I started dating a girl a year older than me (I was 18 and she was 19) and we used to get sexual and stuff but it never felt right. It would get really heated while we were having sex but I didn't like being with her like holding hands and stuff and didn't consider us a couple. Eventually we broke up because of it and I figured maybe we didn't have any chemistry.
So a few months ago, I met this chick and she's the same age as me (19) and we got to know each other and we started going out. The same thing happened to me only we didn't even have sex yet. It just didn't feel "right". I didn't feel like I should be with a woman.
I am so confused now. I'm a nineteen year old female and I'm not attracted to -anyone-. Is there something wrong with me? I'm not bi. I'm not straight. I'm not even gay. I don't understand. Is this just me? Because I want to be close to someone and be in a relationship but I don't feel like I should be with guys -or- girls! (link)
there's nothing wrong with you, when the right person comes along you'll know you've just got to wait till that happens and try not to think that a person is wrong for you before you properly get to know them. You'll figue out who you are and what your type is when your suppose to, just let your body and brain do their thing
best of luck, xshandix


I know, I know. Another 'love life' question..sorry.
I started liking this boy. We are good friends and all so it's not like I just met him. I get this impression that he likes me back..
Anyways, I really just want to go for it and kiss him. I know how to kiss so thats not my question. My question is how do I go about it. I know he wouldn't refuse if I did..
Just how do I do it? Just like go for it? When? Where? I usually see him at the ball park..
Thanks so much! (link)
just go for it, where ever you feel most comfortable with him and when it feels like a good time to.


i sorta have a complicated situation here. well, not really, but it involves boys, what else.

13.f
i have this really good friend named sarah who's dating michael. michael & katy are really close. well, they're going out, aren't they? its just that, michael's in my art class, and hes really nice and reminds me of this boy i totally fell for who moved away. today in art class this one girl said, "you two should get busy," but she didn't mean it like, you know, she meant it like we should start our project. and he just smiled at me. whats going on? (link)
You really can't tell from a smile if this guy likes you, it's probably best if you leave michael with his girlfriend and you go find someone more available because you could get into a really uncomfortable situation if you flirt with michael and tell him you like him and im sure you wouldn't want all that hassel.

i think my boyfriend is cheating on me he went out and bought me a whole bunch of things and i think he does'nt want me to suspect anything when it comes to the phone we used to be alot but not alot if u know wat i mean but anyways now when i try to call him is phone is off or he presses end wich makes it go to voice mail and i call his home phone and i can hear him and another young girl in the backround i can tell that the girl is like 15 around his and my age but his room mate always answers and says he's not there. wat do you guys/grls think is he cheating on me or am i just being paranoed (link)
ok theres major calls for consern here, you are deffinatley not paranoid. If you wanna find out who he's with you should drop by his house unexpectedly and if nothing much is going on when you do you should confront him and talk to him about it or talk to his room mate about it if your boyfriend gets all akward when you ask him.
You'll feel better when you get the truth out of him one way or another.
best of luck,

Hey everyone!
For some reason I feel like reading I would really apreciate if you people would recommend some of your favorite books and a little bit on what it is about =)
Thanks, (link)
well i really like a series of unfortunate events because whenever i read one of them i can't put the book down, i just get lost in it.
It's about these 3 siblings who lose their parents in a fire and have to live with unknown relatives whilst an evil man tries to get his hands on the money the siblings parents left them behind.


this guy i "like" keeps getting me mad, one day he likes me and one day he don't. WHY. he's leaving to vegas for a week and just before he left he says he doesnt like me but two days before he said on the phone he does and the likes this otehr gurl and he doesnt know waht to do, do you think he's doing that cuz he's leaving and yeah... but thats so stupid he does it when he's here too, i dont get it HELP (link)
Leave this guy behind, he's not worth it, he sounds so immature i mean guys don't change their minds dayly if they like someone, you should find someone better.


Here's the laydown. I am a eight grade girl; I like a guy in 8th gade. We have been close friends for two years now. We have kissed but only during spin the bottle. I cant figure out if he likes me. I mean he waits for me after class and flirts and what not but he gives mixed signals. What are things guys do when they like you?UM if you help me I will love you forever and give feedback. (link)
if he waits for you after class its a sign he's into you, if he seem a little different -in a good way- and you catch him looking at you and getting nervous around you then it's a deffinate sign he likes you all you can do to really make him like you is flirt with him loads!
good luck

I mean im not like 300 lbs im just like 20 lbs above my ideal weight..I also have a pretty good looking face..lol..what should i do?

-Shawn (link)
not all models are stick thin but if you want to work out thats good but don't do it just because you think thats the only way you will be accepted in the modeling industry


http://www.focusas.com/Depression.html
That's the site that I found the depression symptoms on! I've had all except the last 3 and the running away one. I'm relly scared and I don't want to tell my mom because she has alot on her plate right now and I don't want her to knoe. My mom has depression too I think and they did say it could run in families. She had it when she was 28 or 30 and now I have it wen I'm 14! I don't want to have it forever and I would relly appreciate any possible help!! Please because I don't want to grow up morbid (link)
i think you should go to your doctor to get more info on this, just because you have some of the symptoms doesnt mean you have depression. I also think you should tell your mom no matter how much she has on her plate she's your mom and she would want to know.
good luck

idk i just need someone to tell me (sorry its long)

Me: i dont care if you cant help all i care about is that you care
HIM (link)
well it maybe better just being friends with this guy as you two live quite far away from each other and especially at 13 it's not the best thing getting into a long distance relationship. It will be hard getting over this guy but it will happen.
hope you figue everything out, good luck
xshandix


u no bex well i think shes a bit miffed that i'm goin out with sum1 that she dont no & she wont tell me wether she minds me goin out with this girl or if she just h8s her (link)
well you should talk to her, or if you want i can, she should be able to tell you why she is miffed as you are her best friend, and who is the girl and why would she hate her if she has never met her?


Hey, I know you hate love questions but this is extremely important to me so if you could help.. it would just be highly appreciated =] =]

So, I'm planning a get together with a few of my friends this Thursday. One of my girl friends and one of my guy friends. I also wanted to invite my crush, Calvin, who I've liked since September. We've went out one before(January), and I've liked him since September.He lives up the street from me and I want to invite him, but I'm very shy and I dont know if I should call him or just walk to his house on Thursday. Help please?

Thanks (link)
you should call him and ask him to go, i'm sure he'll say yes and if he's busy that day it's not the end of the world he might realize you like him and ask you out


ok so i have this wonderful boyfriend and he is wonderful and all the girls in school like him but i also like my neighbor who is super hot. he has a great personality and he always gives me rides on his motorcyce and me and him made out once and kissed a couplle times and i could tell he is in to me to. i kinda see my neighbor as more boyfriend material because my boyfriend was my best friend in seventh grade and he seems like more of a friend to me now. and so my neighbor gets more sexual with me and i like it the aggresiveness. i dont know what to do i fell i love them both!!! (link)
ok well you have to tell your boyfriend, it's not fair you kissing another guy behind his back. It's sounds like your more into your neighbor than your boyfriend, i think you should see what going out with the other guy is like even if you love them both because it seems like you love your boyfriend like a best friend and the other guy like a boyfriend.

Okay, here's my problem. You see, I really like guys, I really do. I go on dates with them, have crushes on them, they are the ones I want to have a relationship and all that.

But recently I have felt something new. You see I have my friend friend, let's call her Katie. Katie and I are inseperable, always going places together, hanging out whatever. I enjoy being around her so much. I've always felt just fine around her, until about three months ago.

I don't know what happened but soon I felt like I always needed to impress her, look pretty in front of her, and I saw how beautiful she is. I swear she is the most gorgeous person I know! And when she comes over now I just want to be close to her and hug her and touch her. I mean I caught myself starring at her chest the other day and having some daydream that she was kissing me! I don't know what's going on!

Like last night she spent the night at my house, and we sleep in the same bed. Normally it's a double bed, but since I'm rearanging my room it got reduced to a twin. So we srunched together close and I felt so guilty because I enjoyed her body pressed up against mine. And while we were talking all I wanted to do was just lean in and kiss her. It's so weird! And half the time I just want to hold her and know that she is mine and she like me as more than a friend.

But the thing I don't get is that all my guy friends say that they could see us together as lesbiens and i always brush it off because I like guys but her and I always play around kiss each other on the cheek and spoon (the sleeping poission) while we're sleeping, and strattle each other when we're play fighting, just being silly. And some days she says "Sometimes I swear I am a lesbian." and she says it in a joking way, but does she mean it as a joke? I just want her so bad, she's like my other half.

So am I bi? Can you just someday wake up and feel sexual towards someone of the same sex? And if so, if I am bi, how do I tell her? Because she knows me so well and she'll figure it out soon. So what do I say to her? Do I ever tell her that I like her in that way? Thanks for any advice you can give me. I rate high. (link)
loads of people get feelings like yours, sometimes it's because they are lesbians and sometimes they are just seeing what it's like. I think you should tell your friend how you feel she will understand, she could be going through the same thing but you won't know unless you tell her
good luck

I'm dating a guy and I'm not shy at telling him when I want him, want to see him, or wanna talk to him, but I can't help but wonder if maybe he'd want me more if I backed off a little and played a lil hard to get. Tips? (link)
Just be yourself around him, don't change the way you are because you never know, he might like you like that
