Q: and we've gona out before but we decided to be friends, and like we've hurt eachothers feelings..but we want to be friends soo we have been for the past 6 months..but now he isn't talking to me.like i say hey, and he just ignores me. is there something wrong with me? and on top of that i like him...and like whenever im around him he purposly flirts with other girls..it drives me CRAZY! please help what do i do to get him back[just as a friend.i miss being friends with him]

If he is purposely flirting with other girls in front of you, he's probably trying to get you jealous. Its a good sign. Call him, or just go up to him and start flirting. Haha. No but seriously, just talk to him and ask him whats going on between the two of you. Apologize for hurting his feelings too. And by the way, I'm sure theres nothing wrong with you.

Q: All of the "cool girls" at my school do drugs. All of the guys like them b/c they are easy. This guy I like only likes easy drug girls and I don't kow what to do to make him like me! Help!

I know you are going to get annoyed at me for saying this, but forget him. He is obviously not worth it. If you have to be easy and harm your body by doing drugs, he his seriously not worth it and he is an ass.

This is the answer you probably want, but I dont want you to take it. Flirt with him, and make yourself seem easy. But I seriously suggest that you dont do that.

Q: I am so annoyed. I always have acne. It is like..constant break outs, and it never stops. I dont know what else to do. I have tried everything from clearasil, neutrogena, clean and clear, differin, duac, tea tree oil, clinique 3 step skin care, olay, and alot more. I usually break out around the T zone, my chin, and forehead..basically everywhere. Please dont give me amateur advice. Like..drink plenty of water and get a lot of sleep ( I do anyways. ) Also please dont recommend products that you have never tried. Please recommend what you think will REALLY work for me. And also please don't tell me not to wear makeup because I cant stand to see myself without the acne covered up. I need a moisturizer also because if I dont use it before I put makeup on, than it looks cakey. But that may be because I have big pores in the spots that it looks cakey. Any help for big pores? I would really appreciate your advice
Thanks

Go to a dermatologist. When people on here would tell me to go to a derm I got annoyed, but then I went and the doctor put me on Accutane. Its for people with serious acne, but ask your derm about it. It worked so well! I used to have horrible skin, now i have really clear skin (except for the scars, which should go away over time) and i got my first zit this week, since i got off the medicine and it was so tiny and it has been like 2 or 3 months. There are side effects, but its worth it.

You can try proactive, but it didnt work wonders for me. And when i got off it, my skin was worse than when i got on.

Q: okay i just got my hair cut and i hate it..how long would it take for it to grow an inch or 2 bwlow my sholder..right now it just touching..is there anyway to have my hair grown faster

It will take about 2 months for your hair to grow an inch. For most people, they grow 1/2 an inch in a month

Q: i got goldfish at a carnival and i want them to stay alive. what should i do to help them be alive and happy without spending a lotta money? how can i tell if one is a girl or boy? (one is orange and one is greyish). if one is a girl and one is a boy, if i get tank plants will they have a bigger chance of having babies?

any other extra info would help
thanks

I got a goldfish like over a month ago and i'm suprised its still alive. Haha. But it is so I have some tips. Change the water once a week. Give them a new oxygen stone once a month. Feed them once a day with a pinch of food.

Q: 15/f

I JUST started high school this year, and am amazed at the amount of work that is given on a day-to-day basis. I mean, seriously. 6 classes, each class has its own assignments, homework, classowork, etc. It's VERY hard to keep up.

All through middle school, I've been a straight A student. But now in High school, I've noticed that it's getting harder and harder to get perfect grades.

Now, my problem: I stress my self way too much over school. If there is an assignment due the next day, I won't go to sleep unless I have finished it...even if it means staying up until 5 A.M. I'll stay up until 6:00 A.M if I have to...JUST to get those A's. Same thing with studying.....I can NEVER just say "Screw it...I'll fail ...whatever"...NO...I'm too scared to do that. But, unfortunately, this method of mine is ruining me...I get NO sleep, my nutrition is low, my excercise levels are declining, and I'm constintantly studying. I even faint sometimes as a result of this (I have fainted in the past week...) I have incredible amounts of anxiety and panic attacks....even if it's the TINIEST thing.

I don't know how long I can keep this up. :( I know it's good for my future...and I know getting good grades is important...but to what extent? Is driving myself nuts REALLY worth it? Because I see some people get off with C's and B's and they're fine. This brings me to another issue: parents. My parents are fine with B's. (even though they want me to get A's)...they don't push me...or make me get A's. In fact, they tell me NOT to stress myself too much and that it's okay with them for me not to strive to be the best. Problem is: I WANT to be....but I want to get a chance to be a normal teenager once in a while and get a perfect amount of sleep.

I know there are people here with a lot of experience...Can you please tell me what to "do"? :(

Thanks in advance :]

I started highschool this year too. I get straight A's and I am definetly not trying as hard as you. You really need to find time to relax and sleep! It may seem like school is the more important thing, but its not. Your health is more important. If you work on homework when you get home from school (and take breaks )and in any studyhalls you have, you should be done before dinner. If not, you are trying to be too perfect on your homework or you are taking too many classes. Try to make a scheduled "bed time". Try to get 8 hours of sleep. If you still have homework to do by bedtime, skip it. Unless its a huge project or essay. If you have to study or do another little thing, do it at lunch or on the bus, or in free time in a class. If you miss a homework or two, it wont hurt your grade. Trust me, i miss homeworks ALL the time and i get straight A's. Just dont stress out, and if you are still stressed out.. try talking to your guidance councelor.

Q: I have come to the point where I cant write, concentrate, derive pleasure from anything, have difficulty remembering things, have blurred vision, eyes seriously hurt, sometimes have severe headaches, most of the time dont know what I am talking especially with my elder brother. I have nt got father and mother I live my elder brother and his wife since 6 years. I am 26/M an MBA had a successful career but now since six months things have been deteriorating. I cant bear it any more. Plz tell me the easiest way to commit suicide which hurts less and is quick and doesnt make much of a mess.

I know the everything seems really bad, but you can't let it get to you. You need to stay strong and continue living. Ending your life may sound like a good idea but its not. Things may get better, and you killing yourself will just end the chances of it getting better. There are people who care about you who will be very sad if you commit suicide. Think about how they will feel. They will be very sad that your gone. Don't make them feel that sadness. Please don't think the way you are. Try to be happy. Love the little things in your daily life that make you happy and think about them instead of focusing on the bad things. I'm going to say it one more time, please dont kill yourself.

Q: Does anyone know of anyone who is selling Pomeranian puppies around the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

Q: wat can i use so i can have brilliantly bright glass gloss hair? like nicole richies new brunette red carpet hair? lol thankssssssss!

2nd question what can i use/do to make my lips look smaller?

and my eyes?

4th question is what can i do to be a singer someday besides american idol? lol thanks again/////

Bright hair- use color glaze like John Frieda for 3 times a week . Then use Neutragena's Triple Moisture hair mask once a week.

Lips smaller- try using nude color glosses on lips.

Eyes smaller- maybe using black eyeliner on the inner rims.

Singer- involve yourself. anything at school that involves singing do it. try going to a voice coach and a recording company. try to sing at parties and stuff to get yourself known.

Good luck!

Q: My boyfriend is OBSESSED about the sims! He almost never stops playing that stupid game I dont understand it! When he got fired from work he had the gall to say 'I was low in aspiration!' I just want to smack him! Last night he wanted to have sex and he asked me if I wanted to 'woohoo'! I asked him if he was making breafast and he said 'sorry honey, my cooking level is too low' I'm so mad! If he says 'woohoo' one more time I might clock him! Please help me how do I get some sense into him?

Ahahahahahahah. I'm sorry for laughing, but its funny because I used to be like obsessed with that game (but not that obsessed). I suggest telling him how you feel and tell him how ridiculous it is. Maybe even give him a new game to play. He might not change for you, and then you can decided if thats good or bad.

Q: 13/f

When a guy asks me out, how can I say 'No'?

Can I have an example of what to say?

Everyone else said exuses that may or may not be true for you. If you dont want a boyfriend at that time, say it. But don't lie. Basically just say something like "thank you. I think you are cool and all but i just don't like you like that." Just tell him the truth, but dont be mean. Whatever you do, don't say "ew no. you have cooties!" haha.

Q: hi. i'm a guy and i'm eighteen. okay, let's being w/some background information...

there's this girl i met thru my friend. she found me on myspace and added me. then like as soon as i accepted she left me a comment. so we started talking thru there and i asked for her s/n. we chatted on there for a long time [two hours or so] and she asked me for my number. about two days later she calls me and we have a two hour phone conversation. nothing in particular, just talking. before i was about to hang up, she asked me to call her early in the morning to wake her up, so i did. [she's been asking me for these wake up calls since then, btw.]

the next day, my friend messages me saying 'are you trying to get w/_____ b/c you know that i like her, riiight?!' i don't really know my feelings toward her, she's cute and has a great personality, so i guess some feelings are there. i'm just not really sure what i should do about this, he's my friend but i have a strong feeling that this girl has feeling towards me. what should i do? i don't want to lose a friend, but i don't want to break a girl's heart. i need your advice!

Well... I am a girl. And I would never go out with a girl who my friend likes. Its just wrong. So even if you do like her, and she likes you back, I wouldn't go out with her, unless you talk to the guy and make sure he is absolutely fine with it.

Q: I stumbled across this site by accident. I seriously doubt many of you have the qualifications to give real people proper advice. After reading some of your responses to people's inquiries i was quite astonished as to how teenagers find they are able to give quality advice and information to real people in need with such little life experience. If you ask me you are not in a place to give your "personal opinion" when people truly believe you are giving them the right answer simply because you claim "people think i give really good advice". (eg. i am still at a loss as to how a 17 year old girl thinks she can give advice to someone regarding conceiving a child) I know you try to come across as a "godsend" to poeple who are in some sort of personal crisis and need a fast easy answer but the truth is, in the cases where it really counts, there rarely is one; at least not from you.

Well I personally think you should shut up because the people don't have to take the advice. They only take it if they think its good. Thats the purpose of this site. If you didn't like the idea of this site.. then don't come here. I personally get, for the most part,good advice. There are some people who don't give good advice, but a lot of people do. People shouldn't come here expecting professional advice anyway. They should know that there will be random people answering their questions.

For the too young to understand things.. even if we haven't been through something, we can give insight from things we know about it or what we would do in that situation. Even though I am only 14, I do know a lot. And most of the people on this site are the same age as I am. If I don't know the answer to a question, I don't answer it. Say I was answering a question about conceiving a child. I would either not answer it or I would look up information on the internet.

I think that if you don't like this site so much then you should just not come here. I personally love this site because I love to help people with their problems, big or small. I also get some help myself.

Q: I dont know why, but I'm attracted to my cousin, who's a guy. Ever since I was little I've always like been attracted to him, but didn't know how to handle it, since i can't really have a romantic relationship with him, cause of like.. incest. He's 6 months younger than me, and a Cancer, while I'm a Capricorn, so I guess opposites attract? Because it seems like he kinda has a crush on me too, but i guess its awkward at times, especially when we're alone. AHH! what do I do about this? or do i just ignore it? :/ its like a forbidden love or whatever you'd call it, lol.

13/f

Well based on the fact that he's your cousin and you can't have a future.. I'd just forget about it and try not to think about it.

Q: I keep pondering whether God is supporting homosexuality, or opposing it. Many of my Christian friends have told me it's a sin to be homosexual, or bisexual for that matter, and according to the bible marriage is between a man and a woman. However, I always viewed it as God would accept you no matter who you are, or what you believe in. I am wondering which side I should take. I am not against homosexuality/bisexuality at all. I am befriended with many of them, and they don't bother me. It's just I am not sure which side is right, and which side I should go for. I need explainations on which side is better, even if it's based on opinion. Thanks in advance!

Um I'm athiest but I was catholic for like 12 years of my life. I think the thing with god and homosexuality is that he doesnt approve of it but he'll forgive you for it.

Q: Well, I've not long been out of a bad relationship, and I'm not sure whether I'm ready for another one. BUT, I've become really good friends with another boy, and I found out over the weekend that he fancies me. I really, really like him, but I think I'm just afraid to get into another relationship. What should I do? BTW, I'm 16/f.

Hahahahahahhahahahahhahahha fancies. That made me giggle. Sorry. I juat had to get that off my chest.

Down to business. I think that you should wait untill your ready. If this guy is really worth it, he'll wait for you. But if you think you might be ready, then go for it! If you like him that much, he probably wont hurt you. Well he probably will, but everyone will hurt another at one point.

Q: Ok so a lot of people tell me i am too thin. I've done those online calculators and they say i am, but you can't really trust those things because they don't take in to consideration a lot of important factors, you know. So, I thought if people could look at my pic site and give me their honest opinion? Thanks. http://www.picturetrail.com/photos/blondina75

+ there are more pics on here now. might give a better idea since some people either couldn't tell what body parts were, or thought i was sucking in...

I answered your question like this before. I really think you are too thin. You are probably naturally skinny but I think you should lose weight, just to be healthy. Theres a lot of effects that could happen from being underweight which I sent you in my last answer. And you could easily look it up on google. But I think you should try to eat a lot and maybe go to the doctor and ask him what else you can do.

Q: I don't feel safe at my school.
Like, yesterday, I left my binder in a class in a basket under the seat. I come back today and it is totally ALL written on, every single page [which is like 100 pages]. It says "Dum ho", "slut", "sell out", "I HATE YOU B@#!@! :D" all this unprintable stuff.

and, today in 5th period, i get a pass to go to the bathroom and when I walk outside, the guys that love to torment me start making fun of me.

HIM:"HEY IT'S UGLY GIRL!!! GODDMMT! Why are you so ugly!!?!?"
ME:"I'm not ugly. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
HIM: *he gets 4 inches close to my face* "Why should we?"
ME: "Well, if you think I'm so ugly, why don't you just leave so you don't have to look at me?"

and the night before, i bit my lip really hard and it swelled up on the bottom lip.

HIM: "HEY WHATS ON YOUR LIP?"
ME: "Its-"
HIM: "-EWWW IS THAT HERPES!!?!? OH MY GOD IT'S HERPES!!!"

now they wait for me at the doors they know i'm going through so they can torment me.
i don't feel safe.
i don't want to go to the bathroom or go outside of class, or even switch classes!

i'm constantly looking out for people that hate me.

what do i do? :\
please help soon.

First off, I want to tell you to not listen to them. They are a whole bunch of ass wipes and deserve the same treatment, but dont give it to them. Be the better person that you are. And remember to love youself because you are beautiful. I'm sure of it. Consult a teacher or guidance councelor. Maybe try to get your parents to allow you to switch schools. Just ignore those kids and hopefully they will leave you alone. Please tell me what happens and ask me more quesions if you need to!

Q: Hi im scared to get my first period and I know I should ask my mom for pads but im to embaressed.help please (quick)

So you got your first period. Who cares? Its got to happen sometime and your mom knows that. You just need to ask her, or find some way to get to a grocery store and buy some which would be more embaressing because thats in front of more people than just your mom. So I suggest just telling your mom. Just say, "Hey mom, i got my period. Can I have some pads?" Its that easy

I absolutely love giving advice on advicenators. When people ask for my advice in real life, its probably not as good as my responces on advicenators because advicenators gets me thinking. I love helping people and I try to give the best advice I can.
