advice

My boyfriend is in high school and I'm still in 8th grade; We've been close for years and we've been going out for several months. To be honest, he's got a few girls in his grade that like him, so of course they're doing everything they can to get him to break up with me including starting nasty rumors and putting down everything I do.

When we all hang out *his friends and I* no matter how nice I try to be, they love to put me down and treat me badly; So he started just hanging out with my friends instead. But I feel horrible, I wish they could just let me be. What should I do about all of this? I never did anything wrong.

I started dating my boyfriend when I was in 8th grade & he was in 9th. We're still dating now so this can definately work out. About the girls that are starting rumors, those are just girls being girls. When you go to highschool, it will not get any better or any easier. Ignore it. Who really cares about what they have to say. If they are this immature about your relationship with him, then do not give them your time, because honestly they're acting younger than you are. If his friends are treating you badly, talk to him about it. That would probably upset me a lot if my boyfriend's friends were putting me down & it would probably upset my boyfriend even more. That's why you should sit down & talk to him about it. He should not let people [even if they are his friends] put you down. He's your boyfriend, he should be sticking up for you. Of course you didn't do anything wrong. You're dating him, that's why. They are probably jealous, even his guy friends, because you are spending more time with him or they don't have girlfriends themselves. Talk to your boyfriend about it & you guys can figure out what to do.

hey

you know how on aim mail, the email address shows up
from the sender instead of the sender's name which you
set up in your addressbook? it's really annoying. like if someone doesnt email you that often and you dont
have their email address memorized, you have to go &
look it up in your addressbook.

question: does anyone know how to replace the sen-
der's email address with the sender's nickname or name
in the inbox of aim mail?

That does seem quite annoying & i have aim mail myself so I looked it up. I tried different things & you can't just make it so you can see their nickname. I found an easier way though. Go into your inbox & look at the bottom at the left side. There's a few tabs that say Mail, Addresses, Calender, and Tasks. Stay in your inbox & just click the one that says Addresses. A list of your addresses [& their names or nicknames] will come up with your inbox still open, so you can easily match it up. If you have already been doing this, sorry there is not another way. I would suggest emailing them through AIM.com & suggesting it though. That would definately be a cool feature.

k well i just found out about a week ago i have type 1 diabetes.
and i wanna lose some weight cos i gained alot back because i was really imicated or whatever.
its hard though because i have to have 4 carbs - 1 carb =15g of carbohydrates.
for breakfast lunch and dinner.
than i have to have a snack between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, and dinner and bed, which has to be 2.

how can i lose weight, like would jumping on the trampoline and stuff help?

please help &healthy food ideas with low calories that will fill me up would be nice.

it is very hard to lose weight if you are diabetic, but i think you can do it. yes, you do need to have a good source of carbs, so stick to that 15g, but a few more won't hurt you either. for the rest of what you eat, try fruits & veggies. i really think you should check this site out-

http://www.diabetic-recipes.com/recipes.htm

It has plenty of recipes for you to try. This is also another good site-

http://www.cooksrecipes.com/category/diabetic.html

For exercise, try power walking or regular walking, or maybe a light jog. Jumping on a trampoline could shed a few lbs once in awhile, but it is not to be used as a regular way to exercise. Swimming keeps people in great shape, so you should try that too.

Ok I was wondering how will I curl my hair and what style, like loose, soft, etc.

If you imagine that lady without a face, than she kinda looks like me (im 14).

http://www.handbag.com/graphics/library4/terihatcherlongh.jpg

Is it better for me to curl my hair or go to the hair dresser? I prob wont make it look good but what if I don't like what the dresser did to my hair and it was really expensive?

Try loose curls to start. They should be pretty big & you can easily do it yourself. I would start off by getting a semi-cheap hair curler. you can get these anywhere basically. Try out walmart or bed, bath, & beyond. Then, test it out. It will have instructions or you can use this-

http://hairstyles.free-beauty-tips.glam.com/curly-hair.html

You should probably get some type of hairspray or hair gel product to keep the curls in place while you're going about your daily routine. I can't suggest one for you though, because each hair type is different. Basically this is like a trial run. After you try different styles & products, you can see what you like the best.

Okay I have had AIM 6.0 for a while now and today when I signed on it won't show me my buddylist... it just says that I am online and it gives me the option of signing off. None of the drop down menu items work, and I cannot see any screennames on my buddy list. Please help. I can still im people.. as long as they im me first so I get the screen up and then I can im someone else if I can remember their screenname... well I don't know what to do. Oh yea I've tried signing off and back on again and nothing happened. Please help.

i would suggest getting rid of AIM 6.0 and redownloading it. you can delete it by going to START, CONTROL PANNEl, ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, and then delete AIM 6.0. you can use AIM 5.9 if you'd like or in the meantime you can use this website-

www.meebo.com

just sign in on the AIM box. its basically a fancier version of AIM Express. its actually good. anyways, its a website version so you don't have to download anything there.

So me and this boy are great friends, seriously. I kinda like him, but no one knows, and we flirt all the time. I can't help it, I'm a natural flirt. But I heard he was going to ask me out, and I asked my friends what they thought and I got mixed replies. Some think we wouldn't look good together, some think we should go out, stuff like that. I mean I want to say yes, but I don't want it to be weird. Because right now, me and him are pretty free around each other and nothing is awkward. I want to go out with him, and not have people make fun of me and I want things to stay the same. What should I do? Thanks

who cares what other people think. if theyre your true friends they should respect your decision. don't miss out on a great relationship just because a few people might not approve or doesnt think you'll "look good together". give it a try. you dont really have anything to lose. i would suggest talking about it with him first though. make sure that you guys stay friends no matter what because friendship is really important.

for the past like 3 months or so the week after i get off my period i get sick.. it sucks majorly, so i was wondering does it lower your immune system or is it just a bunch of coincidences, and if it does, will birth control help it? because usually i only get sick once or twice a year and this sucks...

a lot of girls get sick from their period actually. i would suggest going to a gynocologist for answers. they know exactly what they're doing & they can give you better advice for your symptoms. birth control helps cramping for the most part, but can most likely help with other symptoms you might have during your period. talk with a doctor & they'll tell you what to do in detail.

I am 16 years old and a Junior. When I took the SAT practice sample test I pretty much failed it. Like I got a pretty low score. Out of 20 questions, I got 3 right. I wanted to punch myself because everyone else got like at least 10 right. I tried studying for another practice test but I never get any better. I really don't want to waste 70 dollars to take the SAT and have a horrible score on it. So what are some tips and strategies I can use to get a good score?

I am not like a real smart person, but I am in average classes, passing all of them. My school is known to not do-so-well but I was below my school average. I also know that there is a book to help you with your SATs/ACTs. Is it good and how can I get it?

I feel so stupid right now that I should be put back into the 2nd grade. I am frustrated!!

PLEASE HELP!! I want to get smarter and do better!

The Official Sat Study Guide by Collegeboard. it's huge and blue. thats the book you want. go through the whole entire book. when you get to the back, there's 8 practice tests. i would suggest doing all of them. it actually helped me quite a bit and rose my score. on my PSAT i did really bad, but i'm starting to get better scores now. you could take a SAT course depending on when you take them. just talk to your school guidance counsler about it. don't feel stupid. the SAT isn't suppose to be easy. just practice & relax.

when i first told my girlfriend i loved her, i really thought i did, but now as the days are passing by shes just getting too clingy and way too emotional, shell call me crying, saying how much she loves me and in the beginning i was thinking "aww how cute", but now i just feel bad, and irratated... whats a good way to break up with her without her going crazy and shit?

tell her the nicest way possible. being a girl, getting dumped is not what they want to hear. the other columnist is right. you should not say 'i love you' to someone unless you truly mean it. tell her that you still care a lot about her, but too much is going on & you want to be friends but let her know you'll still be there for her. she probably won't be as upset if you do that. just talk to her about it but make sure you know you want to break up with her for sure.

this might get confusing. ive been dating the same guy for almost three years. i'm a junior in high school and he's a senior. him and i have gotten into fights where i cry a lot, which makes my parents like his less, but something bad happened to him monday night. his dad beat him and he left his house to go to wisconsin where his aunt lives. (his parents are divorced btw), but his mom won't let him go back to his dad's house, so he can't finish school here in IL if he can't find somewhere to stay here by this sunday. he would have to go to school at his moms house in indiana.

this is where the conflict comes in.. i'm trying to think of ways to convince my dad of letting him stay at our house at least for a little while. he'll be graduating in less than 3 months, and then going to college. my mom said if it were up to her, he'd be able to stay, but it's my dad that i'm worried about. so what are things i could say to convince my dad? he would not get in the way of any regular activity, he'd follow regular curfew rules, etc. someone help me!!

try explaining to your dad that it is not for you & him to have a good ol' time in your house, but is for his safety & his education. obviously since he's graduating soon, he should be able to finish out his senior year. also, maybe your mom can help you convince your dad. i mean, your dad has a point since he is your boyfriend and all, but just explain that as long as your bf stays, your dad can make all the rules about where he sleeps, what happens while hes staying there, etc. it is about your bf being safe & happy. as long as you be honest & explain he might let him.

I went to the doctor yesterday for a cough. They say that either my asthma's acting up, or I have bronchitis. I'm on medication for both. For the past few days, I've been feeling an on/off "rolling" near the bottom of my sternum. Is this bronchitis?

here's a complete list of bronchitis symptoms-

http://www.hipusa.com/eTools/webmd/A-Z_Encyclopedia/bronchitissymptoms.htm

that should give you all the details you might need. if a doctor couldn't decypher between which one it was, you might not be able to, but it should give you an idea.

I was in class today and this girl on campus i kind of know was looking in my direction and it seemed liked she was looking directly at me so i looked back at he rnot a dirty look but a half smile look and she begin moving her lips but i didn't know who she was talking to or what she said but whatever she was sayiing it looked like it was being said with an attitude so later i asked her was she trying to tell me soemthing not in a attitude kind of way but like i was asking a general question. Was i wrong and should i feel embarassed?

no definately not. completely normal & i'd probably do the same thing. don't worry too much about it :) maybe just try talking to her about it at another time or if it ever comes up again. if not, just let it go.

what would you wear to a work interview for a hometown bbq restaurant? i guess would jeans be ok [considering the employees wear them]?

i wouldn't wear jeans to an interview, even if employees do wear them. why?? because they already have the job. you're just interviewing. you should probably wear a nice shirt [meaning long sleeve sweater, shirt, not too revealing, somewhat casual] & either black pants or tan khahki's. that's just for the interview though. you want to make a good impression, even if it's just a hometown bbq restauraunt. good luck!

my dad just relized my birthday was 2 days ago its only me and my dad i ve been talkin about it for a long time and he forgot for 2 days he said he was sorry he relized it when i was crying sayin you didnt remember my bday all my friends called and sang and talked and everything but my DAD didnt i cant get over it he forgot last year too ITS EVEN ON THE CALANDER im cryin i just cant get over it

sorry to hear that. talk to your dad about it & let him know how you feel. you're right, he should remember because it is your birthday, but you also have to remember that everyone makes mistakes & no one is perfect. just talk to him about it & explain how it hurt you & what not. he probably won't forget it next year or forget anything else if you talk to him.

at my school we had this kind of fundraisor the highschoolers did. what they did was sell cut out hearts that kids can buy and give to people with a sucker. unfortunately the people selling them gave them to the kids that got one from someone who bought them one. i got one who didnt put there name on the heart on purpose( secret admire). it looked like the guy got a girl to write my name and the comment which was( my heart aches for you) i found out later by talking to one of the women that work at my school that a boy got her to write it to me but she wouldnt tell me who! all i know is hes not in my class.i dont even know if hes in my grade but its a good chance he is. how do i find out who it is?

i doubt you'll be able to find out unless he approaches you & tells you or get a friend to tell you. don't worry though. you will eventually find out who it is, because he wouldn't send it without wanting to be more with you, meaning friends, talking to you more, letting you know how he feels, etc. it wouldn't be a bad idea trying to find out more & asking people. in the meantime, you just have to wait.

i've liked a guy named .. dan, scine i was in 2nd grade, we went out when i was in 4th through 5th grade. but then 6th through 8th [until now, im in 8th] grade, i was over him. and last weekend we hung out, flirted. he lives next store to me, so were on the same bus and today he sat with me and we listened to his ipod. my plams got all sweaty, and my plams never get sweaty. i was nervous about like what to say and stuff. i neverrr get nervous with other guys! i wanna like .. make a move on him. i dont know like how i should. how should i? how should i let him know i like him?

yes, tell him you like him. i think thats always the best thing to do because you don't want to freak out about it, not tell him you like him, & miss out on a great guy. so always take that chance! since it seems like you guys are pretty close & friends, just sit down with him & tell him how you feel. tell him that you like him & whatnot, but if he doesn't feel the same way about you & just wants to be friends that you understand & respect that & also you don't want to lose him as a friend. being mature about it will probably impress him. talking about it with him will be the best thing.

Okay. It would be something like..

"I want you to hang out with me on my 16th birthday We can go blahblah place." But then when it's soon to happen, they tell me they can't hang out because they have to hang out with their parents..and ditching them would make them angry.

You know.. a really good reason..

Would that be lying or what? I CAN HANG OUT WITH YOU. except..NOT!

It's almost like the person is making the plans themselves.. and they don't mention it to their parents.. so things might not work out..

I'm not sure. Too many friends keep letting me down.

it all depends on the person. sometimes people actually do get plans at the last minute without it being their fault. try talking to them about it. i wouldn't necessarily say its lying, but either not being honest about it or ditching you, which can be as bad as lying. i see what you're saying. you don't really have real proof of them doing that though, so try just asking them about it.

i asked the question about the entertainer ringtone....is there ANY WAY i can get it for free without signing up for a plan or anything, and one that will work on an alltel phone,
the model is Kyocera kx16. i can't find any that don't make you sign up for a plan for like $9.99 a month or whatever for say 10 ringtones a month.
please help me! my grandpa and i really really want the ringtone!
Thanks in advance!

nope, all ringtones need some type of money. even if there isn't a plan, if you give your number [which you have to] you will get charged for it on your bill. you can look around, but 99.99% of the time there will be some type of fee. try looking on your services website to see if they have any deals.
