Soo, my sisters boyfriend went in my purse monday. and stole my keys. then ever since i cant find my braclet that my boyfriend got me, i am 99% sure that it fell out when stupid stole my keys, my problems is how do i tell my boyfriend because he got me somthinf or my birthday to match and i dont know how to tell him because i love him sooo much...

help please. whats the best way to tell him????

he hates my sister and my sistesr boyfrind so no worry so breakin up a relationship..

i feel like its all my fault.. help!!! (link)
First you should ask your sister's boyfriend if he saw the bracelet when he went to get your keys, and ask if he saw it fall out.
If he says yes, that's great if he says no, there isn't much you can do.

My advice is to tell your boyfriend. It wasn't your fault that the bracelet is gone, if your sister's boyfriend went through your bag to find your keys, it 's probably his fault it's gone. If you don't tell him now and he finds out, it will make it seem like you didn't notice it was gone, or you didn't care it was gone which could hurt him more. Or he'll know you were lying to him, which can make things bad also.

The longer you wait to tell him, the more things can go wrong, and it'll make you look guilty, even though you're not.

Hope you find the bracelet. And I hope things work out with your boyfriend.


Yet, I still find myself caring.

I used to go to language school early last year with this guy I met there and we spoke a bit then I left and we spoke sometimes on MSN. Well tonight we were talking and he basically joked "What's a hot sexy girl like you doing alone" and I asked if he really meant that, and he said then I wasn't hot and sexy at all, and I would be if I wore a bit more makeup. I felt very upset by this comment and got mad at him and called him a whole lot of names, and said I was only nice to him because I felt sorry for him, blah blah blah. I didn't mean a word I said.
Well he just emailed me, not apologizing or anything, but saying he was upset by what I said, and that its true i wasn't the most attractive girl there, everyone else was prettier but he doesn't try and sugarcoat things. Then he went on to say he feels horrible he wasted effort and breath on me when i was only being nice to him because i felt sorry. He said this cut him pretty badly because he thought we could've been friends.

Should I apologize to him? I have absolutely zero interest in him, but I feel guilty now. He did hurt me pretty badly though. I don't take comments about my appearance too well. Then again two wrongs don't make a right. I did insult him pretty badly. So what do I do? Sorry this is so long. (link)
Even though he sounds like a jerk, whether you still want to be friends or not, apologizing will help clear your conscience. My advice is to apologize for the things you said, and tell him you didn't mean it. Let him know that you only said those thing in what you felt was self-defense. He insulted you (about something you're obviously self-concious about.) and to try and even things out, you insulted him two. Explain that you said those things to him in the heat of the moment and that after having time to cool off and think about what you said, you realize that two wrongs don't make a right and you shouldn't have said those things to him.

This way if you want to be friends, you can be. And if you don't you at least have nothing to feel guilty about. He'll either accept yuor apology or he won't, but either way you tried to make things right.

Hope things work out how you want them to.


My best freind likes this kid. He likes her back. Well, me and him argue about stupid things alot and he bugs the heck out of me! He's just so annoying and will yell at me online and stuff. He's a year younger then us. He is considered "gay" in his grade. Well, I also think he is two timing her for this girl in his grade. There was this dance last night and he was with her dancing with her the whole time! My freind likes him so much though. Should I talk to her about it or should I talk to the guy about it.. but I know he will tell my freind. Should I keep it to myself?? Plese help! (link)
If you're really worried about your friend's feelings then you should tell her. You don't want her to get hurt and then realize you could have helped prevent it. If she's really you're best friend she should listen to what you have to say. But you have to be prepared that she may not accept it. But like I said, if she's a good friend, whether she accepts your opinion/information or not she won't let a guy come in between your friendship.

Try and just talk to her one on one calmly and rationally. You don't want to end up in a fight with her about it. Try and bring it up subtely, don't be completely outright and say you hate him or anything. Just say you saw him dancing with that girl and that you're only looking out for her.

I hope it works out.


My sister is such a bitch. Everytime I do the slightest thing wrong she swears at me (eg. f*cking retard, f*cking moron). She searches for stuff I do wrong so she can yell at me. She thinks she's a perfect little angel, when she's not and fucks up just as much as I do, but when she does, she just shrugs it off and says "whatever". I've tried ignoring but it doesn't work. How can I make her stop calling me names ? I really appreciate any help because I can't take this. (link)
It sounds stupid. But try talking to her about it calmly. Tell her how it makes you feel when she yells at you and calls you names and inform her that everyone makes mistakes, even her. But you learn from them and they make you a better person.
Try not to get into a screqaming contest with her though.

I really hope that things work out for you.


what do you talk about with your friends or your crush? Im at a loss b/c im not that interesting but im not mean or anything either. what can i do to change this? (link)
I have the same problem with my friends too sometimes.

My advice is to talk about things that interest them. Sometimes if you don't think you're that interesting it's better to just let them talk. That way you can hear about what interests them and learn more about that so maybe you can BOTH talk about that. Also, do activities or watch movies or something with them. That will give you something to talk about for the day, and you might be able to bring it up later. And if you have any classes witht hem that's even better. It opens up a whole new range of topics. You can talk about your teachers, an assignment, the class in general, or school in general.

As for talking to your crush. Try talking about something that isn't as friviolous as make-up (if you're a girl) or football (if you're a guy), but not too deep either. Show them that you're intellignet but you're still fun to be around. Talk about some of the things you notice they're interested in to start a conversation. If you notice they're interested in basketba;; for example, you can either learn something about basketball, or ask them a question to start a conversation. Also, if they are in your classes you can talk to them about teachers, assignments etc.

Hope it helps!


There is this girl i like at school and im not sure if she lkes me back i've asked her out twice and on the second time i asked her she said "...errr well not right now sorry" what is that supposed to mean plz help i rate 5s. btw this question would be better off answered by a girl (link)
I know this isn't the answer you want to hear, but I don't think she wants to go out with you. She's probably trying to soften the blow by avoiding saying NO outright (which isn't always the best idea because like you, many people aren't sure what to think.) I would recommend trying to look for a different girl.
Maybe she really just can't go out with you right now for her own reasons, so maybe be friends with her, learn alot about her and maybe she'll begin to like you the way you like her and ask her out in a couple months if you haven't found anyone else or if you still like her.

Hope I helped, and hope it works out.



ok so lately a lot of people have been talking about a show or movie called high school musical. what is it about? is it like grease or something? i've never even heard of it but people around school seem to know all about the thing. what tv station is it on too?

thanks im just curious. (link)
High School Musical is about this boy, Trevor who plays basketball. He is at a christmas party and meets this girl gabriella they sing together. She moves to his school not knowing he lives there and they meet and later in the movie sing in a musical together, its nothing like grease. hope i helped


does anybody know any good dating spots or ideas that are sort of "out-of-the-ordinary". nothing like the movies - because thats so common. i want something fun and original.. so any ideas? thankss. (link)
ice skating, rollercoasters/amusement parks, mall, and parks i guess


okay i have a question. i wnat to get my hair done and its short and think, i want to get the underneath blonde then a full blonde foil with partial pink foil. how much would that normally come up to? i know every place is different but i just want an estimate (link)
a haircut and dying your hair for me usually costs about 80, but i go to nice places. i guess less up-scale salons charge like 40 for dying and cutting your hair


i've asked a lot of question about weight loss
but did anyone see the wrestling true life on mtv? not exactly what the title actually was, but with the kid that tricked his body into thinking that he was having three full meals, by having a piece of a power bar every few hours. does that actually work? i know it's not the healthiest route, but that if you starve yourself your body will go into starvation mode, and your metabolism slows down, etc, etc. would tricking your metabolism help you lose a ton of weight without like... dying?

thank you. (link)
Well, I understand why you think that even if you don't eat you won't starve if yu trick your body. But I'm pretty sure that tricking your body won't STOP hunger and your need for food, but it will only LESSEN the signs of hunger, which could be potentially dangerous.

Also, like you said, it can slow down your metabolism, so when you DO eat a MEAL your body will have a hard time getting rid of the excess and working it off. You'd be better off eating alot or enough of the RIGHT foods because it will boost your metabolism, the problem is when you eat too much junk. Also, without food you won't have energy to work off any weight.

Hope I helped!


Okay, so here's the story: I left my backpack in my mom's car. She threatened to take it to work the next day (today). She always makes empty threats and never follows through. She bugged me about my backpack, and I told her not to nag me. When people nag me, I tune them out. So I fell asleep and forgot about my backpack. It's with my mom at work, and I can't go to school now becuase I don't have anything and all of my grades would drop for things that I didn't have//couldn't turn in. Do you think it was right for her to take my backpack?

I mean, I know that I should have taken it out of her car. But do you think it was right for her to take it?

She took out half of my other stuff, but she left my backpack.

And it sucks.

Opinions? (link)
Even though it sucks.. she did warn you. You didn't listen. Therefore, she followed through on her threat and took your backpack to work. She was obviously trying to teach you a lesson, and appaerently it worked.

Sorry about your backpack though.


Hi my name is yousif and i need some advise.Ok here's the thing..i like one of my cousins who is also a twin..they are almost identical but i can know which is who and naturally i like one more than the other..this is probably my biggest crush so far(i hope you dont think its weird to like your cousin)..the problem is i donno if she likes me back..i see her once a week in my granpa's house(we go to different schools and have different friends)..and when we do see each other we r always in the same room with our relatives(including our parents)..i can tell she is the shy kind..sometimes i stare at her(i cant help it) and she knows it but she always looks away or to the floor..im not worried about other guys(especially strangers)because she rejects guys she dont know(im not saying shes a coquette)..anyway can u plzzz help me know if she likes me back without having to make a move or do something funny in front of my relatives..im running out of people to ask and im more desperate for an answer than ever..she just looks damn good even without makeup(couldnt help writing it)..thank u
(link)
Well, to me, it seems like she doesn't. Only because you didn't really say if she ever even talks to you or looks at you. Maybe you can ask her twin who she likes and find out that way. I'm sorry I don't know and exact answer and have more information but this is kind of a hard question. Just don't give up and you'll be fine!


My boyfriend and I have been dating for 3 1/2 months. Before we started going out, we were really great friends. He was my best friend. And I have a STD, HIV actually. I got it from birth because my mother had to get a blood transplant and back in 1986 they didnt check blood for HIV and such, we've been talking about being intimate with eachother. I am 15 and I need to tell him before we have sex. I need help on the following things:


1.) How to tell him: What should I say? Should I have my sister whos like my best friend be there with us?
2.) When should I tell him?
3.) How do I handle the thoughts of being rejected and trusting him?

He is my best friend and I trust him and I talked to him and have told him that I have something I'd like to discuss with him and I made him guess on what it was and he said "is it a genetically passed STD?" and I did not say anything.

I'm scared that he will tell someone. He's very trusting but I dont know, He would be the only person I told besides one person and the only boyfriend I've told. Please help.

Comfort my thoughts on this so im not such a worried reck

Thanks (link)
I am really sorry that you have to deal with the responsibility of having HIV - especially at such a young age.

Sex is a huge responsibility (see my response about 3 questions down from this one) and it's something that even a 15 year old withOUT HIV is too young to handle.

My advice is to NOT be sexually active. And just explain to your friend that you don't want to have sex until after you are out of high school.
If you are afraid he won't like you anymore, than you don't have as good of a relationship as you THINK.

In addition, I'm guessing that your HIV status is a huge secret. (although based upon his question to you - I suspect the word is already out) Once you tell this guy about your STD, your secret WILL be out. Chances are, your friend will seek advice and before you know it, the entire school will know your secret.
I think you would be wise to wait until high school is over. There are a lot of ignorant people out there that will treat you differently and say hurtful things too and about you. High School is difficult enough without having to worry about this stigman, the fear of pregnanacy, the fear of infecting your friend, and the emotional burden that is associated with being sexually active.

Enjoy your life. Don't complicate it with sex.


my wife is 41 year old recently she met younger man and they started loveing each other she love me also but she can not leave him also i am unable to understand what to do (link)
Nobody can tell you how to handle this situation. Each person reacts differently to cheating.

Personally, I'm all about TRUST and cheating destroys trust. If this were ME, I'd leave.
If she loved you and your family, she would not have betrayed you all. That's the EMOTIONAL answer regarding cheating.

Here's my PHYSICAL response - With all the diseases out there, Cheating is not just an emotional betrayal - it can kill BOTH of you.

Therefore, a cheater is the most selfish type of person I know. Why would you want to hang on to THAT?!


Okay... so this might sound weird to you.. but i dont even know what to do anymore. Im 15/f.. and im dating this guy.. him and his ex girlfriend went out for a year and like 4 months.. it was an extremely long relationship.. but she went completly crazy... her mom went crazy also.. like calling the guys house. making up stuff about him doing drugs.. so they broke up SEVERAL months ago.. and he seems completely over her.. now me and this guy are dating.. and i like him so much.. i really do..but she is like going crazy on me... iming me... calling me.. texting me./. calling my friends parents.. just being really weird.. and all my mom and sister can say is "be careful"... she claimes that they do stuff.. and he told me when that last time they had done ANYTHING.. and he is honest with me about that kinda stuff.. and my best friend.. just says.. keeep going with it.. and see what happens.. but i dont want to keep going if i am being used to make his ex jealous.. thats not how should be treated.. im out of ideas.. and i have NO IDEA what to do

Please Give me your thoughts..
thanks so much (link)
This is a really TOUGH one! OK. First I want to point out something (because it's what Mom's do - ha!)...
Try very hard to understand why this ex-gf is behaving this way. (YOU CAN LEARN A VALUABLE LESSON FROM THIS POOR GIRL'S MISTAKES)...You mentioned that the ex-gf says they "do stuff" and I'm going to assume you mean sexual things. You know, so many kids below the age of 15 are sexually active and this is an excellent example of why kids ARE NOT READY! Even though your bodies seem ready - the emotions that go with sex are NOT. I know several girls your age that got intimate with their bfs and once the boys broke up, the girls were unable to let go EMOTIONALLY. Some of these girls have been broken up for over a year and they STILL can not let go of their ex's. (and they can not see how it is ruining their lives)
I bring this up because it sounds like what you are dealing with. Sex is not just a temporary physical bond. In many cases, it bonds you emotionally (at a time that you just aren't ready to deal with it - especially the emotions that arise when ONE of the parties involved breaks that bond). So please look at this girl and her mom and learn from it. You described them both as "Crazy" and I understand what you mean. When someone (guy or girl) gets emotionally...let's just call it "obsessed"...it is scary. People do and say desperate things as a reaction to these emotions - and they don't even understand their OWN behavior. And it's not that they even want their Ex back - it's because they can't stand their ex moving on. So, I totally agree with with your Mom and Sister - BE CAREFUL!

I have so much more I can add to this but I don't want to do it on advicenators. So if you want to talk about it more, IM me - even if my away is up. SteeleSlavsMom

But to summarize - DO be careful. Your Mom and Sister love you like no other and they are closer to this situation than I am. But they are both female and they may understand what I'm talking about better than you realize. Talk to your Mom about this! I think it's an important topic that is often over looked - Sex isn't just physical - it's VERY emotional (they don't teach this part in sex-ed and it's a shame) - sex can create emotions that are difficult (IMPOSSIBLE to some kids) to control and these emotions can last a lifetime.

So really, the problems you describe have very little to do with YOU. I doubt your bf is using you (consiously) to make his ex jeleous. I also think he IS telling the truth that they aren't physical anymore - but I also believe HER when she says they ARE (in her HEAD, it's still part of thier relationship!)

__________________

These are emotions that this couple are trying to deal with and you - and anybody else that either of them get involved with - will be exposed to this "fall-out" from their past. Are you sure this guy is worth it? If so, take this as a lesson and be careful not to make the same mistake his ex did. You don't want to end up an emotional mess like her. But know that she is going to be a major part of your relationship with him. It could take YEARS for her to move on. They say it takes 2x's the amount of time you went out to get over an intense relationship. That means you have over 2 yrs to deal with all this. Is it worth it?

If you still feel like my answer isn't helping, really DO im me about this and we can talk about it more. I have a story from my own past that I'll share with you. I think it may help you.

Much Love, Mrs S


Anyone know any sad love songs to cry ur eyes out to? thank you. ♥ (link)
I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie.. so sad :(


hi mrs. s
i have to ask a question.
i like a boy that's older than me. and he's caught up on some other girl. the girl likes another boy. so how do i flirt with him and make it so he sees me that way? (link)
Get his friends to see you "that way" first! When the friends start talking about you to him...he will see it too. Friends (of the one you like) are the TRUE key to getting "the guy you like's" attention.

Remember that guys usually like girls because of the way HE looks to his friends. So if his friends think you're amazing, they will talk about it, and they will "sell" him on you.

Try it and let me know how it goes!!

PS - If you are skeptical of the power of his friends...think about this - what would happen if a guy you couldn't stand liked your bff? You wouldn't let it happen, would you???? You'd do everything you could to convince your friend that he was all wrong for her...trust me, it works.


what is the range of normal weight for a 14 year old, around 5'2''? dont give me am-i-fat.com or a doctors opinion i want your opinion of what looks good =] thanks i will give 5s! (link)
Well I think around the weight of 125-135 is a good size for a girl at the age of 14 around the height of 5'2''. Hope I helped.


ok so.. theres this school dance tm which i kinda told my friend "Lucy" that i would go to. but i don't want to go anymoree. it's going to be so lame, no one's going and she'll just be w/ this other girl the whole time anyway. the reason she wanted to go was bc of this guy, and now he's prob not even giong. the same night is this dance at an all boys school that would be SO much more fun to go to (if you have tickets) or i would just rather hang outt. the dance is going to suck though i think - what should i say to lucy? should i just suck it up and go (would it be to mean for me not to)? or should i tell her ... ? thanks ill rate 5s. (link)
Most dances are lame, I think you should tell your friend that you dont really want to go, tell her that you dont think many people are going to be there and you just want to hang out at the house. Maybe rent a movie and eat popcorn. If she says she dont know if shes going to go invite her over. I dont think it would be mean. Hope I helped.



ok so this is part of a im that me and my bf had:

cutisammy:i think we should take somee timee off..
jeffinthe313:nope.
cutisammy:wut do you mean no? you cant just say no

ill rate 5s for anything!!

mucho love

oh yeah and my sn is CutiSammy and his is Jeffinthe313..lol just so you know! (link)
This has happened to me plenty of times, I just get caught in bad relationships. I think you need to talk to him, with your parents, have his parents come over too unless they are completely crazy, my ex did this alot. He said he would kill himself but first he would kill me. I ignored it, it started to bother me after he left messages though. I would advise you to gather him and his parents and have a family on family meeting lol. I know this sounds crazy but maybe you two can work it out so you can become friends. I also I think if your not going to call the police then you need to have a grown up with you or an older boy that is stronger than him to take up for you just incase he tried to do something. I dont advise you to worry though. If he is all talk you have nothing to worry about, but I do advise you to break up with him. I hope I helped and I wish you the best of luck.
