okay, well the thing is.

i have a really great boyfriend. we've been dating for aout 3 or 4 months now && i really like him. he told me a few nights ago that his dad has really bad, uncureable, stomach cancer. i dont know what to do. i've never dealt with dealth at all before, i've just never had too. so i dont know what to say to him. he never really brings it up because he doesnt want me to know hes upset. im also the only person who knows. i know it upsets him because him && his dad have always been close.

what are some things i could say or do that would console him??


please (link)
When he talks about it be honest. Tell him you dont know what to say but you are willing to go through this with him and youll be there. Sometimes no words are the right words when it comes to that kind of stuff. Just be honest.


I hurt my back two days ago, not by any sudden movement. I was just sitting there, and my spine flipped out. Yes, it hurt very baddly. Question is, how long should I wait until I begin weight lifting again? The weights are not much; no more than 10 pounds. Heck, less than 5 pounds, to be honest. It doesn't really hurt anymore, but I think I can tell that it's not back to normal. Should I still give it a few days, or would some stretching assist in the healing process? (link)
Stretching would be good. Just not to the point where it hurts. And no weight lifting would not be good . You know your body n obviously you know its not back to normal yet so stay away from that until you can safely say yourself that you will be okay to do it.


hey i am 12 and i just got my period abd it is really not a big deal but when i told ma dad he is treating me different because i have always been a daddy's girl and a sports player how will i get ma dad 2 treat me the same way (link)
Lol. He'll get used to it. He doesnt know what to think. After a while it wont be that big of a deal. Trust me....he'll be okay


A guy friend of mine just moved into his first house (that he owns and doesnt rent) in another state with his wife. His wife and him have a very rocky marriage and I was a little surprised when he told me this. They had to move up there for a job.
Well the last time I talked to him I asked him how he felt about the move. He didnt sound excited at all (which suprised me because in his email he made it sound like a big deal that it was their first home together). He sounded really depressed and all he said was "it's beautiful up there", but he didnt sound like he meant it.
I told him how well I was doing and how happy I was with my life and my new job. He didnt sound happy for me at all. We were talking on the phone and then he snapped "I have to go, and don't phone me on my cell anymore unless it's after 6".
Well that was over 6 weeks ago and he hasnt phoned me or emailed me since. I was pretty choked he would do that to me, I mean it's not my fault that he's unhappy for whatever reason.
So my question is, why would he take anything out on me and not his wife? I've been a really good friend to him and I don't think it's fair. Also, why would he sound so depressed if he was moving to his first real home? (link)
Sounds like maybe hes jealous and he may have taken it the wrong way maybe he took it as you were rubbing your happy life into his miserable one. Or maybe his wife has something to do with it. Plus when people are depressed they withdrawl and may not talk to anyone unless needed. So maybe you should call him and let him know your there.


My bf is a stubborn jerk, to be blunt. Well for starters he got mad at me the last time I phoned him becuase it was before 6 pm. He moved away to another province 6 weeks ago for a job. He hasnt phoned me or emailed me since then. I also suspect he was annoyed becuase I didnt sound more upset that he was moving.
Everyone has warned me about long distant relationships, and I used to think me and my bf could do it. But now I can see what they were warning me about.
I cannot believe that my bf hasnt even wished me a merry xmas yet! Or bought me a gift and sent it in the mail!!
So my question is should I wait for him to email me or should I? (link)
dump him if he cant make time for you why should you for him? do you really want to be in a one sided relationship?


Hello there. Too get straight to the point im very confused about who i am, and who i want too be, all my life ive been into rock and that sorta..thing, well sometimes ill feel like i want to be very girly and i bought a bunch of pink stuff but then i listen to my music and i think what im doing? and i go back..i dont know what to do, is there something wrong with me? (link)
Nope i do it too....Im into the rock thing and i dress in my skater shoes and black band shirts n studded belt but every once n a while i want to feel....well pretty lol. I have a few of those nice blouses that grandma approves of. I just mix it in with my style....a nice shirt n over coat with a studded belt n black shoes. Just because u like a certain genre of music doesnt mean you have to dress or act a certain way. Be what ever you feel like being that day. What ever you feel comfortable in.


I have been interested in this guy for a month now, and we've flirted and talked on the phone late at night. I gave him a Christmas card and since then he hasn't talked to me. I called him last night, and he says he has a girlfriend now. I don't see him with anyone, so what's really going on? Should I still flirt, or move on? I really like him. (link)
Ooo....yeah just move on no use wasteing time.. he may jus be like a lot of guys and are really friendly n dont even realize theyre flirting they just like the response they get from you....So id find someone new


15/f
i have never had a boyfriend. Is that like pathetic?? I want everyone to be honest like if you think thats stupid then say it i wanna know your honest opinion i wont get mad at anyone...unless you go like wayy overboard.

5 for anything. (link)
No its not stupid....Why would it be stupid atleast ur not rushing into things with guys. My first boyfriend wasnt until a few months before i turned 17....and im fine n weve been together for almost 11 months..Dont Worry itll happen when its ment to happen.


i am 15 years old and i have never had a boyfriend or kissed any guys. all my friends have and they have gone all the way with guys and i havent even kissed one. is this not normal? i am actually pretty and guys like me but thats as far as it gets. i hear guys like me and then i dont know what to do. so is this normal?? (link)
Its normal Trust me i was the EXACT same way i just didnt know how to react to those type of things. I was 16 before i kissed a guy it just didnt happen until i was ready. And honestly after that first kiss its not that bad then you kind of know what your doing. Just relax itll happen when its time.

I'm a 25yr old gay guy, and my boyfriend just dumped me last week and i'm finding it very difficult to adjust back to life alone.

I was only with him for two months but we literally would be spending all our spare time together (when we werent at work) and all weekend, calling and texting each other all the time. I actually think I am in love with him, even though I keep telling myself thats not possible after such a short time, but I think it could be so.

Anyway we were both very much into each other and suddenly, for no reason (that i know of), he turned "cold" towards me... like if I went up to give him a hug, he wouldnt respond, and also in bed he wasnt as responsive as usual.

I confronted him about this and he says he doesnt know why this happens. He has a history of psychological problems, even he doesnt know what they are, but he has been on a number of different anti-depressant medications this year (though not now) and is currently taking vallium cos he can't sleep at night.

He says he cant connect with anyone, and its nothing to do with me. He said he went to the psychiatrist a week ago and he told him that he needs a break and he shouldnt be in a relationship as he has problems to sort out and its not fair on me or him. So for this reason he told me that he can't see me anymore (this was 4 days ago)

I am heartbroken and i really want to be with him and i find his excuse a bit "manufactured"... i think there is something he is hiding from me. I really want to know the real reason why he dumped me. I also have a suspicion he is back with his ex as my friend saw them together in town last night and they always were texting each other when we were together (much to my annoyance).

He called me last night to say hi, but it made things a lot harder as i miss being with him. I dont know what to do. Please help! (link)
you know...if you think his excuse is manufactured ( which i think so too!) then hes not worht your time if he cant even be honest with you. Sounds like you a very nice guy and you deserve to be treated like an adult and not like a little kid. Ask him straight out if hes hiding anything about his ex or if he has diff reasons hes broke it off with you and if he does not give you a satisying answer then thats it! As hard as it may be dont go back to him or so much as talk to him because its not fair to you because your the one who is suffering....try going out n finding some other men you may like! i hope i helped

I want to get my nails done, but my parents this its a waste of money. So I want to do it myself I want to do french tips and I was wonderin how I should do it. How should I do the tips cuz I can never make it even? Do you think it would look ugly if I did two different colors on one nail like half one color and the other half another? (link)
okay take tape n put it on the bottom half of ur nail n then paint the top where the tape isnt to make the french tip n you can make it as big or small as you want with the tape. As long as u do the bottom half with a light color it should look fine


hi... i had wrote to you earlier about how i think i am being replaced.... my best friend now has a new bf, and everytime i say that she's my b/f she realy dosent say anything about it... i want to tell her that i have kinda been pushed out of her life, things have changed in her family and in my life to. but i feel as thought i have lost my best friend, i have never been closer to another friend other then her. how can i tell her that i miss her and i want to do more together again, i mean she never really talks to me now, shes always with a girl we shall call marie. i miss her and am really jelous of this marie girl, i mean me and marie know each other but i feel as though she has my best friend and i want her back. what should i do?

*~* lost and alone (link)
Well like i had told you before....You need to speak up. She probably doesnt realize what shes doing and doesnt mean anything by it. Just tell her how you feel and ask her to do things with her. Maybe you and ur friend n MArie can hangout sometime or something and yous can all 3 become good friends so she wont have to choose either. Im aure itll work out


Our school has banned Abercrombie from our school. They say that the shirts are too sexual and distract the "learning environment." Today a friend of mine was wearing and Abercrombie shirt that said "Will work forehand jobs" and was given a saturday detention and they made him take it off. The same thing happened to a guy wearing a shirt that had a video game controler and said "wanna play?" Yes I get that those shirts can get you in trouble but what's wronge with regular Abercrombie shirts that don't have anything to do with sex? And not to mention pants. Well, us students want to get them to let us wear Abercrombie to school again becasue not ALL their shirts are like that. WE have no idea wear to start. Any ideas? (link)
just wear them n when they complain point out that ur not being distractive
