Dont worry things are going to be fine. It's good that you tried doing some research about being depressed. You should just relax and dont worry about things because then you get stressed which causes you to be depressed. Try talking to someone about how you feel dont keep everything inside. Let your parents know how you feel or go to school and find a counsulor to talk to. Let your friends know how you feel maybe they can help you. Hope this help!

Q: I really want to go to boarding school and i have researched schools and found one i really like. i dont know how to ask my parents though because i know how my mom will react and i strongly beleive that she is going to say no. i need advice on how to approach the subject. thank you.

Do some more research on this school that you like and maybe have your parents take a look at it. Let them do some research on it. Explain to them that you really want to go there and explain why you want to go there. Promise them you'll try your best and that this will help you in the future. Try working things out with them like if you do go when you'll go back home to see your parents. Dont leave your parents out of things. If they do say no then ask them if they would reconsider. Dont get mad just relax and show them your mature and ready for something different. Hope this helps!

Q: I truely like this kid so much. I've known him for 4 years, and he knows I like him and such. Actually, last year in 7th grade, he asked me out. He was smiling although he said he was serious, but I said no because I figured that he was joking (he's that type of person). Than after he asked me out, he started doing weird stuff to me, and requesting I do things to him. For instance I would usually help him with his French homework, and he would ask that I sit on his lap. He would always hold my hand, try to kiss me, etc. Then he started to get worse, like ask me to have sex with him, flash him, go over to his house and in his room...
This year, he acts as none if it happened. He won't mention the slightest thing to me. That doesn't exactly bother me but it's weird. I still like him and it's not that he acknowlages me (because we're still best friends), but he doesn't like me this year like that.
I just wanted to know if anyone here thought that maybe he took advantage of me. Please help (easy 5's)

Well he's a guy and he must have grown up a little more from last year. Boys can be immature so maybe he doesn't want to bring back things from the past. Just tell him that you still like him again so he knows your for real. Hopefully he'll be mature and take you seriously this time like seriously. Dont do everything that he tells you. Hope this helps!

Q: I recently met this guy and we're now dating. We aren't exactly what you would call the cutest couple because well, some people don't believe we belong each other. Those some people being my friends.
I'm what you could call the preppy high school cheerleader that hangs out with other preppy cheerleaders/jocks.
He is...well I'm not sure what he is. When you look at him you think oh, just another punkish looking emo druggy kid. Which is what my friends think. But, he really isn't. He did voluntarily dye his hair black and has an eye brow and lip piercing. Along with another one that is below the belt that I haven't seen yet ;P.
But anyway, back to the point. He's a sXe(straightedge). If you don't know what that is, it means that he doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs and doesn't believe in casual sex.
I was recently involved in an accident. The accident should have never happened because we'll the driver and I were drinking. Fortunately, I'm still alive. And because of the accident I've decided not to drink anymore. (I met my bf after my accident).
My friends think that my bf is BS and that he's just kidding himself. And obviously, do not like him. His friends and I get along fine and he doesn't mind my friends, except for the fact that they don't like him. What should I do?

If this guy makes you happy then you should be with him. It doesn't matter if you guys are the cutest couple. Who cares if you guys are in two different groups. As long as you like him for your reasons and he likes you for his then things should go great. Dont let your friends stop you from being with someone that you want to be with. It doesn't matter if they dont like him because they aren't the two people involved in the relationship. Hope this helps!

Q: I'd like to first start off by saying I love my family. I truly do, yet I feel as if I need help sorting out the problems and stress they constantly place on my shoulders. I grew up in a fairly large family with seven brothers and two sisters. As of right now, the only sibling living at home is my younger brother, and I'm always being compared to him; through my grades, my lifestyle, my friends. No matter what I do, or how hard I work, it's never good enough. My family is continuously degrading me, saying I can do much better, making me feel as if I'm not good enough for their praise. My brother brings home test results of, say, 10/20, and he gets credited. Is there any way to make them realise that I'm trying?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just tell your family straight out that you can't stand being compared to anyone. Let them know that your different and your just being yourself. Let your family know that it makes you mad because they keep degrading you. You dont have to show your family that your trying they should know that you are already. If they say anything like you can do better then say I know I could have done better but its okay there is always next time. Dont worry this happens to everyone and I know how you feel and I alway tell my family how I feel about it. Hope this helps!

Q: Ok, I've liked the same guy for 3 years now. He just broke up with his girlfriend. I was so relieved, but now he has ANOTHER girlfriend and it's only one day later! AH! It hurts so bad because we've been friends so long & I guess he's just not seeing me in that way. I've droped thousands of hints, but he hasn't been picking them up. What I want to know is..he just recently got AIM (so he could talk 2 his last g/f) He kept it & IMs me whenever I'm on. I love that he IMs me, but he talks to me about how much he likes his new girlfriend and it agrivates the crap outta me! How do I get him to stop talking about her without hurting his feelings?

Hun you need to get over this guy because he isn't worth it. He sounds like a player. You either tell him how you feel about him or move on. Some guys dont get the hints so just say something to him. Next time when he talks about his new girlfriends or anything like that tell him to stop because you really dont want to hear it. Tell him that you dont really care that much about this girl that he is dating. My opinion is to just move on dont waste anymore of your time. Hope this helps!

Dont worry this happens to everyone. Now that your in high school you should meet new people because you probably going to be with them for the next 4 years. Try to work things out with you friend by planning certain days to hang out and to catch up. Maybe you can try to meet her and tell her how you feel. Stay friends with her but give her sometime to get to know other people too. I know what your going through and I know you'll make it. Hope this helps!

Q: ok well there's this guy...and i think i might like him! well... i used to really hate him, but i barely knew him...and now that i know him really well, we're really good friends- and hes so cute! he has a girlfriend who is in high school now (we are 8th graders) but he flirts with me a lot, he pretends to ask me out in a kidding way and he like tells me i'm hot, he actually flirts with a lot of girls though, especially one of my best friends, but i totally like him! another thing is that he used to go out with another one of my friends, who i am kind of making up. she really hates him now, though,and this is just so weird. I don't know what I should do! i like this guy sooo much! please help me! i rate ♥

If you really like him this much then you should tell him and ask him what he thinks. Don't worry about your other friend that used to go out with him because people change. It's best to let him know because if you dont tell him you'll just regret not telling him, but if this guy is flirting with everyone it sounds like he's a player. But that is my opinion so you just follow your heart. Hope this helps!

Talk to you friend and ask him if you can know what's wrong with him. Dont force him so just ask him and if he doesnt want to talk about it than let him know if he ever wants to tell you he can. If he tells you anything dont tell other people. Just be a friend and stick by him let him know that you care a lot about him and wish that he could be happy like before. Hope this helps!

Dont worry your time will come. He isn't sure what to do. Maybe you can hang out with him more so you guys get closer. If you can't stand waiting then go up to him and let him know that you got feelings for him. Dont always wait for the guy to do something get in the game and work it! lol Hopefully this guy will let you know that he likes you too. Hope this helps!

Q: Ok, there is this guy that i really like....hes my ex, but now my friend. Hes really cute. And we tell eachother everything. He told me, that if someone asks him if they like someone, he will blush if he does. Well my bff sits behind him in social studies and asked him if he still had a thing for me, he said just as friends then turned around and blushed! I was sooo excited to see this....but heres the thing. He told Ali that if he was single than he would ask me out in a heart beat. Well hes not single. And his girlfriend is really sweet and hes really happy! I don't wanna break them up, but i would do anything to get my baby back. What should i do.

Don't try breaking him up with his girlfriend if they are happy. Let them be together. You time with him will come if its meant to be. Dont like a guy just for looks. Just be friends with him and let him know that your here. You can let him know that you still got feelings for him, but dont make him feel strange. As long as he's happy you should be happy for him because if you had a boyfriend and he still liked you he would leave you alone with your boyfriend because he sees you happy. Try to move on and dont worry your time will come. Hope this helps!

If you guys like each other than go for it. Who cares if he's in a different group than you that doesn't matter. It's about your feelings towards each other. Just go up to him and let him know that you really like him. Hopefully he'll let you know too. Dont let this chance pass you because you'll regret it. Al least be friends with him. Hope this helps!

For some people age matters and to other age doesnt mean anything. It depends on you and him. You might want to get to know this guy more and try to make your friendship closer until you guys are in a relationship. If you do get into a relationship with this guy you might want to talk to your family about it because they might want to know. Sometimes older guys want to take advantage of younger girls so be careful. But I'm not saying all older guys are like that. Dont let everyone know how much of an age difference you guys are. Stay safe and have fun!Hope this helps!

Q: Sorry for another guy question, but I could use some help.
I like a guy that I went out with about a year ago. ( I never stopped liking him, he broke up with me ) Well we've become really good friends again. We started to hang out, go on golf cart rides, talk at school, phone calls. I didn't wanna tell him I liked him, cause I didn't want to scare him away. Well someone found out and told him. I called him and he said someone told him that I liked him. I got embarressed and mad so I hung up. He called me back and told me I didn't have to hang up. He said he didn't mind. later that night we talked for hours on the phone. How do I find out if he likes me back or not? ( I don't want my friends to ask him, cause I know he seriously hates when other people ask him stuff like that.) Do I just go up to him and ask him ?
I will rate all 5`s since it's so long.

Well he is a straight forward guy..what I mean is does he usually like you to ask him question straight out or he the kinda guy that doesn't really answer to you questions and wants you to connect the dots..
If he's the kinda guy that likes you to ask him things straight out than just ask him if he still likes you. Other wise just be like remember how the other day you said someone told you that I still liked you well how do you feel about that?...
Hopefully he'll kinda admit that he still likes you too. Hope this helps!

Q: ok so there's this boy and i really really like him. we had gone out a few times before but we broke up because he cheated on me, he told me he really liked me and wanted to go out with me again and promised he'd never do anything like that again and i actually beleive him (i dont beleive people who hurt me very often) he lives in a town close to mine but we only see eachother on friday nights and weekends. i went to a football game and he was hitting on one of my friends when i thought he really liked me, she's gorgous but i really want him to get to notice me again, i got mad at him and we were in kind of a fight but i couldnt stay mad at him and i kissed him at the end of the night and i think he may have started to like me again. How can i get him to like me? and is he worth it? i get soo jealous when he's with other girls.
thanks so much.

He's so not worth it. You deserve better guys than this guy. He says he's not going to hurt you again, but you can't really trust him. Dont waste your time on him. People change and some dont and this guy is one that doesnt change. If he really likes you then he wouldn't be hittin on your friend. He's the type of guy that's into looks, I'm guessing. All girls get jealous when the guy she likes is with other girls thats gonna happen. Move on and let him get jealous of you because your with other guys and he messed up because he cheated on you before. Hope this helps!

Try talking to him and explaining to him why you wanted to take a break. Let him know that you still got feelings and you dont want to lose those 3 precious years over something small. Ask him how he feels and how he can just get with other girls so fast. I think that he's going with these other girls because he's either testing you or he just isn't sure what to do. If things dont turn out right then girl your going to have to move on and remember what you guys had, know that your future awaits you. Hope this helps!

Q: Hi,
I have this friend that's a boy (i'm a grl) and i've liked him since the day i met him. We're now best friends and do everything together on the weekends and whenever we have spare time. He has a gf and talks about marrying her (even tho he's only 13), and i try to be a supportive friend, but really he's just ripping my heart out. I've tried to drop hints that i like him but i know how he gets when ppl tell him that they like him when he already has a gf...it's not a good site. I guess i just want a way where i don't have to listen to the full on details of his relationship w/ his gf cuz it really does kill me inside. thanx 4 the help

Okay lets see....Your doing a great job of being a friend. Tell him that you dont want to hear everything about his love life. Let him know that it hurts to always hearing these things and that you wish you had someone to be with so you could tell him your love life. Hopefully he'll know that he shouldn't tell you everything. Try to move on, but still be there for him. Hope this helps!

Don't judge the people that want to be your friend. Who cares if people think they are losers. People are people, we are all the same. Don't be so picky about your friends. Be happy that they are willing to opening up for you. Try to just talk to everyone and be friendly. Don't stick yourself in groups that you dont feel comfortable in be yourself and you'll find a group. Don't change yourself because its not worth it. Hope this helps!

Katie is startign to hang out with Lauren more and more cause they both like the same "punk" music and they love doing goth-like things ( i dont like lables but thats just how they put it ) I`m more of the preppy, country music, shopping, french manicure type girl. Is it time for me and Katie to move on since were different? Or should I stay and watch her get herself into trouble and fight to keep her.

Dont give up on your friend she just needs some space and time. Although you guys are different its good because what so good about being with someone thats just like you. It gets boring not that I'm saying your boring, but your friend just wants to meet more people. You gotta respect who your friend wants to be friends with, but dont dislike like them because of what they do. Just be there for your friend and try meeting more people so you wont feel lonely.

Hey everyone! So I've been away from this website for a few years and I've recently stumbled upon it again. I feel that I'm more experienced to give mo and better advice. I've grown and developed so much these past few years that I have a completely different mentality from when I first found this site.
Enough about that, well it's nice to meet you all and my name is Amanda! I hope to really help by giving the best advice I can. I'll always be free and open to help anyone out so don't hesitate :)
