well i like this boy right and he's spanish and i have no problem with that b/c he''s really sweet and cute. but all my friends do b/c im like white and we're totally diff and some of my friends are sort of racist. i don't know what to do b/c i rlly like this boy...what should i do

Ignore your friends. As long as you like him, that's all that matters. There's nothing wrong with two people dating that are different races. Your friends would understand if they were truly your friends.

There's this guy at my school that I really like, and think I am in love with (I have thought this for YEARS). But I'm afraid to start anything with him because he has kind of been the center of many jokes between me and my friends, and he's not exactly the hottest guy on earth lol. He is kind of short, in fact, I think I'm taller than him. But he's kind of cute in a way and I really like his personality. I know I could probably get a hotter guy, but for some reason I feel like he is the only one I could be happy with. But I am afraid of what my friends will think if I tell them I like him. So what should I do?

It doesn't sound like you're in love if you're afraid of what your friends will think.
But if you are, just talk to them. If they are your friends they'll be nice about it. You don't have to get the okay from your friends to get with a guy, so you don't even have to tell them anything.

okay so heres the thing.....i am really depressed, and i know it and so i cut myself....but not my wrists or anything just my legs and my ankles.......and i think about death alot, but not ohters just myself....what do you think i shuld do

Talk to someone. Tell your parents, your guidance counselor, your teachers.. anyone that will listen. Ask your parents if you can go to a psychologist or something, you can't keep this in. And TRY to stop cutting. I know it's easier said than done, cuz I've never tried it myself so I wouldn't know, but try. And figure out why you're so angry and depressed or what caused this to happen.

What are some good, quick, easy ways to gain self confidence and self esteem? And to be able to be more outgoing?

There's no easy, quick way to gain self confidence. You have to believe that you're really that awesome, you can't just fake it. There's no way to build it, you just have to think positively, ignore your flaws, and enhance the good things about you so you just automatically think you're really that great.
To be more outgoing, you just have to start talking to people. At parties, go up to people you don't know and just introduce yourself, don't get all freaked out that you don't know anyone. Sit at a new table during lunch, or actually talk to the people that sit around you during class that you don't know very well. You don't just become outgoing overnight, you have to realize that you can talk to people easily, and are able to. By the time you get self-confidence and outgoing skills, people will love you!

ok well im 13/m and i have feelings for my friend. The problem is that she has been going out with her boyfriend for a long time (year and like a month) andso i've been trying to be there for her and be her friend but now her and her bf are going through some rough times and she doesn't think he likes her anymore. I want to make a move but think that might be taking advantage of her and her situation. Should i go for it? Is it taking advantage of her current situatuion?

That's taking advantage of her situation, I wouldn't do it. If they're having problems, it's not the time to tell her how you feel. Just either be her friend with a shoulder to cry on, or leave her alone for now. If they break up completely, THEN you can talk to her about it, but for now, just be there for her.

(Sorry lame queation everyone hates answering BUT...)Well I just started going out with this guy, "Greg" and I really like him and he really likes me. But the problem is, neither of us are very touchy-feely people, and so my friends are constantly yelling at me for not holding his hand, giving him a kiss, etc. Well I think that I should, so what should i do to just be a little bit more physical, I guess...

If neither of you guys aren't touchy-feely then don't be. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. My friend was the same way with her boyfriend, they weren't into it, and one of my friends got so annoyed she actually took their hands and put them together down the hallway, and they hated it. Don't do anything if you don't want to, screw your friends.
But if you wanted to, and he does too, just hold hands, or hug or something to show a little affection. I'm personally not into pda though, it's lame. Just do whatever feels right though, don't feel pressured to hold his hand or something.

Theres this one girl in my dorm...she CANT spell. A freshmen in college and she cant spell little words, she simply doesnt know how. The word good, she spells gud. She cant even spell little words and this concerns me. She isnt doing well in her classes at all because of this reason. Me and my roommate edit her papers and we try to tell her that she really needs to learn how to spell properly, but she doesnt care. She cant rely on me and my roommate to save her but on every paper. Should I tell her to go to a tutor (which she probally wont go), or let her fend for herself? I tried to help her learn, but I get mad at her everytime I try.

Let her fend for herself, it's her problem. If she won't go to a tutor then you can't help her, you've done all you can.

ok... uhh mi best friend is an untrustworthy lier nd only out for them selves... she is always lieing to me nd not inviteing me places.. wat should i do

Get a new best friend. You don't need a friend who's a liar and you can't trust, so get rid of her. Or just talk to her.. but I'd probably just say cya to her.

Im already having problems with my life right now but this just makes it worst!
Everyone has a girl in their school who is pretty, smart, friendly, flirty, somewhat popular.
My problem that I need advice on is how do I become that girl?
This girl, her names megan, shes short, blonde hair, pretty, smart, friendly, sorta popular, has an annoying voice sometimes, really flirty, talks about sex` bi (likes chicks n guys) a stoner but you cant tell.
She can become friends with anyone and they love her, she can start a conversation with anyone adn they talk back
Im not jealous of her bc she told me Im pretty too but I just cant be like her, I wanna find a way to be like her and I need real advice -not just talk more or flirt more- but real advice
So if anyone can help me out Id love that so please help me out Im stuck with this girl till Im outta school so I really need this advice
Please and Thank you

She probably isn't perfect, I mean if she's a stoner how is that perfect?
Don't change yourself just to be one of those girls. We all want to be "that girl" but it's never gonna happen. All you can do is boost your confidence, don't be afraid to speak up, talk to more people, and show everyone just how cool you are. That's not what you wanted to hear, but it's true.
And who knows, there might be someone that thinks you're the perfect one, and they want to be just like you.

Go to www.imdb.com and type their names in the search engine. It'll give you a complete list of everything they've been in.

How do you know your in love?I've know a boy for a year in a half and me and him are close and today i told him i never want to talk to him but righ after i went to my room and bagan crying.I dont know why cried i didt think it would hurt me but it does.How do you know when your in love?

It sounds totally cliche, but seriously, you'll just know. No one can tell you when you know you're in love, you have to figure it out on your own.

Im a 15 male.. and im gothic, is it wierd that i wear black nailpolish? give me some details and convince me if it is..

I don't think it's weird, but maybe that's just me. The guys at my school that are "punk" or "gothic" wear black nailpolish sometimes. It looks kinda weird, but if that's who you really are then why hide it? You shouldn't care what other people think.

I have this one really good friend, and let's call her Jane. Jane and I met last year, when I came to her school for a gifted program. Jane and I became kinda friends, but I made a best friend that I'll call Kristen. It's a year later, and now were all good friends. But on the bus the other day, this girl I'll call Sam bad mouthed my friend. I asked Kristen if she liked Jane, and she said no not really. Jane is a really good friend of mine but I don't know what to do?

Hang out with them separately. You can be friends with them both, and they don't have to be near eachother. It's a win-win situation.

MY Great Grandparent just died. I was sitting with him at his hospital bed before he died and his last words were: "Kizos, I hid my will in the secret cubboard behin........" he died. :-( please help me.

Tell your parents about what he said, maybe they have an idea. The secret cupboard could be anywhere, but if there's any obvious spot you should try to look there. Other than that, there isn't very much you can do, sorry. I hope you find it though, good luck!

I have the two bestest friends in the world.but they've known each other longer then they've known me.and I feel like the third wheel.should I tell them that they should include me more on things or not?help.

I have two opinions about this. First, they were best friends before they met you, so they're gonna have a special bond, you can't prevent that. They're gonna wanna do stuff with just eachother, like the good old days, and you have to get used to it.
But on the other hand, all three of you are best friends now and everyone should be included because the latter explanation isn't really fair in this. You just have to think about which way you look at it, and decide on if you wanna break their special friendship or not. Sorry, I was really no help lol.

ok this guy at my skool has a gurlfriend..hes beeen with her for 9months...but he TOTALLY flirts me with me...i flirt back because i really like him...we sat next to eachother in english and we recently moved seats...he sits like 2 rows away from me and when he walks in he always comes over to my desk and plays with my hand or something...he always gives me candy and stuff and he just does little stuff like that and today i gave him a hug after class bc i wont se him for 2 weeks and he like kept his hand on my waist for soo long....he tells me im pretty and stuff to....he does more stuff but yea...what do i do about it??

Tell him to stop or ignore the flirting, he has a girlfriend. You wouldn't want to be the reason they broke up now would you?

If I walked on the tredmill for an hour every morning, didn't eat as much and ate healthy, and did crunches and excercises, do you think I would get skinnier within a month? Thanks.

Well yeah you'd get skinnier, but not in a healthy way. You shouldn't just skimp on your meals because you wanna lose weight. All you'd have to do is that hour on the treadmill, eat a breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and try to eat healthier. But give yourself a treat every now and then, how fun is it to lose weight when all you eat is crap?
I've lost 6 pounds in the past couple of weeks, and I ate whatever the heck I wanted, seriously. P.E. at school is what's helping me, so that's really all you need.

OK... I just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this or knows what it is...
On my upper inner left thigh ther are these really strange marks. They look liek branches and kind of like scars. they are indented into my leg and pruple-ish. I never scarped my leg there or cut it but they look a lot like scars. By indented I mean if you run your finger along it it's like carved into my skin. Does anyone knows what they are, or how they might have got there? They just came up this past 3 months. thanks for ANY comments

It could be stretch marks.. I don't really know. Or like those spider veins? I think that's what they're called.. But other than that I have no idea, sorry! Ask your mom or someone, moms always know these kinds of things.

my boyfriend sean seems to be hanging out with another girl after school.it's making me very angry.what should I do?

Ask him what's up with the other girl. If they're just friends and he can say it easily without sounding like he's lying, you have nothing to worry about and shouldn't be angry. If he gives you some dumb answer though, like "what girl" or something, then be suspicious and try to find out more, or just dump him right then for lying to you in the first place.

I'm fifteen years old, and I'm about 5'3. I'm not overweight, but I'm on the verge of it, and it most definitely wouldn't hurt if I shed a few pounds. When I'm home alone or just out with friends, I'm fine as far as resisting bad food goes. The problem is...my mom- and the rest of my family. My mom is ALWAYS buying junk food and tempting me with it. When we go to McDonalds and I say that I just want a bottled water and a salad, she'll order an extra thing of fries because she knows I'll eat it. My question is...How can I resist this with out my family thinking I'm anorexic? They won't understand if I simply explain that I want to lose a few pounds because like I said, I'm not overweight yet. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

That's the same thing here, I'm 5'0" and 124 pounds. No, that's not like completely obese, but I should realistically be around 115. My mom ALWAYS buys fattening foods too. You can try to sit down and talk to them, but like you said, it might not work. But you probably don't even need to, since you aren't overweight yet. All you have to do is exercise. Everyone in this world is so caught up in counting carbs and stuff, I'm sick of it. My theory is eat what you like, but only eat when you're actually hungry, and stop when you're full. If they push you to eat more, say NO, I'm full, and they'll stop hopefully. But don't deprive yourself from the foods you love just to lose some pounds. Just exercise, only eat when you're hungry, and you'll be fine!
