I want to be homeschooled next year, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it and if it costs alot or not? If someone was to be homeschooled, would they still have to take gym or no? (link)

Oh man, this is kinda up my alley. I wish I knew where you lived. In my area we have Independent Study. This means that you come into school once a week for about half an hour and get homework assignments, that equal about 4 hours of work/day, from one teacher P.E. can be included but is in the form of any kind of documented exercise.
Homeschooling is different altogether. Someone is usually at home to make sure you are doing the work you are required to do. You have stricter standards to adhere to and you have to follow the district and state guidelines for homeschooling. Check on internet for other details. And check with your district about independent study. Often students find that to be a better option.

So I like this guy and everyone knows except him, and I am friends with him and all and I really have no idea what to do!! help!! (link)

I always hated being in your position! At least your friends with him. Chances are he may suspect you like him more than as a friend. Personally I think writing a note is more embarrassing that talking in person with the guy. Notes often get passed to others to read, whereas the two of you can talk more privately. If you don't feel ready to tell him how you feel about him, be happy you are friends and be content -- for now. Sounds to me like you're going to have to tell him something sometime soon, though. Ask him to Dairy Queen for an Blizzard or McDonald's for a Coke or something.

Okay I have this friend and we were suppose to hang out tonite.. her cousin just decided to show up so she could spend the night too. Well it was about midnight.. and they came out of the room... and were giving hints like im gonna be in so much shit.. cuz i have two people staying... Well when her bro came home.. they went back in the hall way but before she started talking to him she looked at me really funny... so I just left.. What should I do.. I don't wanna lose her friendship.. but she really hurt my feelings!! (link)
|
Whoa! I'm not sure I got a whole lotta info. My first instinct would be to tell you to back off from your friend and let her come to you. You need to protect yourself for awhile. If her cousin is going to stick herself into your fun and your friend (her cousin) isn't going to say anything about it but instead make you think you're going to get in trouble because --- well, I think you get my drift.
I'm not sure where any of it is going, but leaving was the best thing you could do -- good for you. Let her call you, let her make the first or next move. Your friend is the one who overstepped and should make amends or at least call you. If she doesn't by Monday afternoon or so, then check the vibrations between you and her and talk to her if you think you can.
Hope this helps.

theres this one guy in my drama class that i used to like but then hes always talking or bothering me after or during class. how do i get him to stop? ignoring him doesn't seem to help... (link)
|
I read one advice. Don't just tell him to leave you alone. It might hurt his feelings. Often his talking or bothering you is because he likes you and can't find a way to let you know. Do you really not like him at all? Or are you just uncomfortable around him because he is acting really weird now? And yes, ignoring him will only make it worse.
You might try reacting to him in a very level-headed, almost expressionless way. For example, if he makes a joke and you find it ALMOST funny, smile and say "Not bad" or something noncommittal (that doesn't give him hope). By doing this you are recognizing him without hurting his feelings but not encouraging him either.
If this doesn't work, then approach it more directly. Ask him why he keeps talking or bothering you. Chances are he'll go really red in the face and get really embarrassed and I'm not sure you want that . . .

I have this in school and I would consider her one of my best friends. She has a boyfriend and I really like her boyfriend. I don't know what to do. I have asked some of my friends that don't know her but they tell me the same thing, don't do anything. I wouldn't want to lose her as a friend so I won't do anything. But know what if they break up and he likes me? do I go out with my best friends ex-boyfriend??
thanx (link)

In a word NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Boyfriends come and go, best friends can (and often do) last a lifetime. Best friends are more like family. Would you abandon your sister or your mother for a boyfriend, especially when you knew it would hurt your sister or mom? Never sacrifice your friendship/love/sisterhood for a boyfriend, especially during teen and early 20s. You have your entire lives ahead of you and your best friends are the best people to be with during those times. Live it up with them -- you can't go wrong. I've had a best friend for - never mind how long we've been friends, but boys/men have never come between us, which is why we've remained best friends.

Hey it's me again the 14/f that is pregnate..For those of you that don't remember or know me, I had a boyfriend in jail and the side relationship where I got pregnate and found out from a test. Pierre is his name..not mike..but anyway pierre wants this baby aborted..he said he's not going to lose his football career over me or the baby..i`m already 6 weeks and I love this baby more than anything now. Telling my boyfriend was hard.. even harder then telling my father! My boyfriend was really mad since he just got out of jail and everything and wanted to kill the crap out of pierre..well my boyfriend really loves me and you can tell..since he said he'll be the father since pierre won't....but what should i do..should i still consider abortion? because I really want this child... (link)

Hey, if Pierre can't step up to the plate and be a man, then he belongs in jail himself for rape. YOU ARE FOURTEEN. Thank your lucky stars and God in heaven your mom is supporting you and loving you. Not every girl can say that. But your mother is right. She should pursue the legal end of it. You are underage and he had no right taking advantage of you.
You are in for a very long road. Love you mom each and every day and support her as much as she will support you; you'll need each other for a long time. Kudos to your mom.

On my bus the older kids are mean to my best friend. They always steal her stuff. Like yesterday she had a gameboy with her and was playing sims and this kid stole it and wouldn't give it back until she gave him gum. She had to jump some seats to get it back. Then today she wouldn't give him gum again so he started stabbing her with a needle. He treatened to stab me with it if I didn't move so he could get inm our seat. They my best friend threw the gum out the window and he and his friends started cursing her off and trying to cut her with it. I want to find a way to help but I don't know how. What should I do? (link)

What is this world coming to? Good grief (to quote Charlie Brown)!!!
Talk with your parents, talk with the principal, talk with a teacher, talk with your friend, the two of you should get together and talk with an adult.
DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200, GO DIRECTLY TO AN ADULT AND DEAL WITH IT IMMEDIATELY!!!

i shave my vagina almost every other day..i was wondering if its bad for me to shave so often.. but i like to be completely clean..ppl say that i shouldnt ( im 22yrs old ) shave there so often but i dont mind if alot of hair grows back coz life is short and i dont want my bf seeing me hairy there. please help.. (link)
|
The 70s was a really big time to shave. It has since been proven the bacteria can find its way into your lovely little lips and into your vagina. While it has never been fully proven that one can become sterile, you CAN get some pretty nasty infections.
If you must continue to shave, opt for a "mohawk," meaning keeping a small strip of hair is left just at the lips themselves (and inside). Your pubic hair is there for protection, remember that.

I am going to a competion tomarrow i am so scard what do i do to calm my self? (link)
|
You know, when I had to sing a recital or perform a play, I was a nervous wreck! I found out that, the moment I wasn't nervous was the moment I had to worry. Remember, nervousness if only negative energy. So turn that nervousness from a liability to an asset.
You wouldn't be going to a competition if you weren't any good, would you? Focus on that first. Deep breathing is a good option; going over your routines if also excellent. But don't do too much of this because, frankly, I think it only tightens the nerves and you want them focused not stressed to breaking. Remember, energy can and will be your asset. Focus your energy to be your follow-through, not your hindrance (man, I should teach this -- wait a minute, I do teach this!)
Hope this helps!

okay theres this and she kind of used to be my friend (we don't go to the same school and shes a grade lower than me) and she is a total prep (you can ask anyone and they'll tell you shes a bizotch), so i guess thats why were not friends anymore. I skateboard and i wear stuff from like zumiez, pac-sun, and somtimes hot topic, and she shops at like abercromie, A.E, and those stores. well the other day she shows up at this place wearing the same shoes as me (grey & pink etnies) and i was like "you don't skateboard" and she said shes learning, so i asked what kind of skateboard she has and she said she didn't have one. hmm... how do you learn without a skateboard? and none of her friends have skateboards cuse there all preppy bizotches too. then i saw her at youth group and she had on the same frikin pants as me too! (they were dickie's skateboarding pants) and then shes like "oh! look jeanine!! we almost have the same outfit!" and she was wearing this abercrombie shirt with it that looked so with the rest of her outfit. she tries to hang out with me 24/7... she calls me to talk about "skateboarding" and she doesnt even know what an ollie is. and she buys the same cds as me AND she got her hair cut and highlighted almost exactally like mine! HOW DO I TELL HER I DON'T LIKE HER TRYING TO BE LIKE ME AND FOLLOWING ME AROUND EVERYWHERE? AND THAT SHE SHOULD STOP TRYING TO BE SOMEONE SHES NOT?? help please. thanks. (link)

You won't like this but, did it ever occur to you that (1) imitation is the greatest form of flattery and (2) she might be trying to be a friend to you again? From what I gather, she was a friend once. Hey, I've an idea. Why don't you teach her -- privately -- how to skateboard?
