Hey this question is for anyone and I'll rate you on how truthful it is, just tell me about a time when you were left out of something.

I need to write kinda like an article so the more the merrier!

thank you very much for taking your time reading this (link)
When i was in th grade. In 6th grade this girl lets call her m...was in m p.e class and we were the best of friends in there. Then in 7th grade she was also in my class, so we were so pshyced! Then this girl lets call her k, joined the p.e class. Then she would only come to me like i was a last resort like when k was sick. And when she was sick they would always run together and just leave me hanging. And m would be like alex you are so weird. Im like thats nice to come from a "friend". But they did that like the whole year. I talked to her about it and she said that she didn't know what i was talking about and just ignored it.


Ok, well my nipples have been sore lately, like to the touch, you don't have to pinch them or anything. And I know it can happen before your menstrual cycle but I'm not about to start mine, and I never got sore nipples before one either. It's been like this for a week now and I don't know why. It's not excruciating, it's bearable but I'd rather it not, you know? It's not my breasts or areola, it's just the nipple. (link)
They are probably just growing. This happened to me at one point, and they were so sore like that, and just when i would put on my bra even it would hurt. Like you said it is bearable...but barely. Just ignore it for a bit, and it will go away in a week or two. Hope i Helped!! Don't forget to rate!


I saw you posted this and how do you do side crunches? Because I've been trying to get rid of my love handles too. Is it like doing a sit-up but turning to one side then the other, ect.? Thanks! (link)
Get on the floor into a regular sit-up position (knees bent), then drop your bent legs to the side, resting them on the floor. Your torso and head should face the ceiling.
With your hands behind your head, crunch straight up, then lower.
Do 15 to 20 repetitions, then switch sides.
You should definitely feel this in your obliques -- the muscles that run along the side of the stomach. Add these to your regular routine and try adding some cardiovascular exercise (walking, jogging, aerobics) if you are not already doing so. This will help burn more fat and reveal your newly formed muscles and toned waistline. Hope this helps! Don't forget to rate!

Ok.. Well, I like this girl see... She used to like me, but I'm not sure if she still does or not... Anyway. How do I know if she still likes me, WITHOUT asking her? I mean, I think I MIGHT be inlove with her but... I don't want to love her and her not love me back... (link)
Flirt with her a bit, maybe let her know that your looking for her, such as when she is absent from shchool or something ask where she was if she said she was sick ask if she's feeling better or something. The key is to FLIRT! Hope this helps!! don't forget to rate!!

Lately, I've noticed my skin is breaking out terribly.
What are the best facial soaps/scrubs/washes you've used that helped clear up your acne?

Any at home remedies?


Thanks =] (link)
Wash your face with soap and water or a facial wash, every night and morning. This should clear things right up! You can also use a face masks, because those cleanse your pores and make them smaller which makes the bacteria harder to get into. Just go to targer/walmart/walgreens or any local pharmasist and look at the facial washes, because each one is different for each person. I just normaly was my face with soap and water and that seems to work for me. Hope this helps!! don't forget to rate!!

ok im sure this is going to get long because my family is truly messed up. lol
well first off my dad, hes 50,he has the early stage of aslhimers, so he forgets things all the time. Because he doesnt want to face the facts, when he forgets where things are he blames me for it.by the wayy im mackenza. 16 and a only child.my dad also used to be a drill sargent. he treats me like one of his men. my mom shes way over protective. she had a horrible child hood and doesnt want me to get hurt like her. so she makes it to where i cant even hardly leave the house. with the two of them i can hardly do anything and i am always crying. i hate things and i am so stressed because i always have to do everything because my dad dont do anything and moms always at work.they choose my friends, when i sleep, and everything. what should i do? like its seriously getting to much for me. (link)
Ok, my dad is 58, and he makes me do this "study hour" thingy that he had to do in military school. He was in the army and was also a drill sargeant and again, also treated me like one of his men. He controls when i study/sleep, and yells at me QUIET a lot. So i can relate a little! I would talk to them about this and tell them how you are so unhappy and your just a kid and can't do everything that the adult is supposed to do! Ask your dad if he could not treat you like you are one of his men. Tell your mom that you know she had a bad childhood, and thats exactly what she's doing to you! Tell her you know she is trying to protect you but it is just making things harder and makes your probably want to push away more! You should be in charge of your friends and when you get to sleep and stuff. You have also got it pretty harsh. Hope this helps! Don't forget to rate!!

Iv been dating this guy for almost a year now&&i dont know what to get him for his 17th bday. i want something nice,the price doesnt matter. i was going to take him to a concert but there isnt any around that time. Can anyone help me think of something?? (link)
You could maybe get him a sweatshirt/shirt, a cd, i know cd's are defiantly a good present for guys. Maybe if he liked drums, you could get him a little mini sculpture of someone playing drums or something. But you can't go wrong with his fav. band on a cd and a card and def. kisses!! Hope i helped!! Don't forget to rate!

17/m

ok so i have a girlfriend that i love more than anything. she is my first love. we have been togeter like 7 months. but then im taking this class at the colledge and there is this girl in my class there and well when i saw her i saw that she was kinda hitting on me/ noticing me and well i kinda returned it. i dont even know why i did. im DEFF not the kinda guy to cheat EVER. its just not me. but lately i have been finding this other girl on my mind. but i have no intentions of breaking it off with my girlfriend cuz i love her no matter what.

so what do i do?
is this normal?
am i a horrible person for thinking about another girl like that
i know that i would never let myself do anything more than flirt tho.
ahhh

please help (link)
HELLO!!! Your a teenage male! Your hormones are still all over the place, your mind and heart are into the girl your dating now, and you know you love her. But sometimes hormones get the best of you and just do something that you don't mean to do. Your body just wanted to flirt with her but you probably didn't. And you have nothing to worry about it is COMPLETELY NORMAL! You are defiantly not a horrible person for doing that. Most couples flirt with some other people just to keep things fresh. Just try your absolute hardest to stop flirting and tell that girl you are currently in a relationship, but you would like to get to know her (if you do) and maybe you could date later on if thats what she is interested in. Hope i helped!! don't forget to rate!!!

i havent had my braces for too long compared to how long all my friends had theirs. i just got mine in january so its only been about 9 months. i have been wearing rubberbands for like 3 months now (i just started to double up with them this month though) and i thought that rubber bands were put on when u got closer to the end of your braces life. is this right or do the rubber bands go on at all different times during the process? am i getting my braces off soon? i am a junior so i kinda want to get them off like...now. (link)
It really depends on the mouth, and the dentist. The rubber bands either help an overbite or an underbite. They really don't calculate how much longer you will have your braces on for. The dentist could choose to fix all of the teeth flaws first then work on the jaw...that is what my dentist did, or he could work on the jaw first then the teeth. Some of my friends had the jaw fixed first. You will probably not be getting them off to soon. You normally have braces for about 1 year and a half, or 2 years. But they might want you in them for a shoter or longer time. Hope i helped!! don't forget to rate!


Does anyone know any other "profile sites" like Bebo, myspace or Facebook??

Thank you so much because Bebo, Myspace and Facebook are the only ones i know and their... Kinda boring and i'm wondering if theres any others like it!

(link)
There's Flixter, you can get a youtube account where you can have your own profile. But i have to say myspace is my favorite out of all of them, theres Xanga. Those are pretty much all of the ones i can think of right now. Hope i helped!!


ugh , ok im not fat , but im not wat i want to be ya know - i weigh 135 & 14 , 5"1 - cheerLeader tooo . but it doesnt help . i wanna tone up my body . i wanne Lose my Love handLes and my pudge in the frontt . heLp :] (link)
Ok, i had this same problem. Just do cruches to get rid of the belly fat. Like 150-200 a day. Then side crunches to get rid of the love handles. About the same amount of cruchnes, 150-200 per day. Hope this helps!! Don't forget to rate!!


HELP!
i think i got my first period today and i don't no how to tell my mum. I'm totally clueless!!!!!!!!!!
PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!
(link)
I had that problem too. I just couldn't decide on how i should tell my mom. But you better tell her now rather than later. Because then you can just get it over with in a short convo. rather than having to talk about it for a while and why you didn't tell her. I would just take her to a private place and say mom i think i may have started my period today. It's completely normal, nothing to be ashamed of. Every woman does it...even her. Hope this helps!


is it normal to have cramps after your period. i haven't been sexually active for at least 5 months. (link)
Yes! It is completely normal. I have had this happen to me also. So nothing to worry about.


Okay, so this all started out as me and a friend..not a close friend, let's call her E, would just make fun of the different bands we like. Because we like totally different bands. Anyways, but one day she just freaks out and starts yelling out me. And that started this little "argument." Anyways, so she starts posting hate bullitens about me on myspace. And people were like "What the hell is going on between you guys?" But anyways, then on Friday my friend was talking to me and she said something funny about Gerard Way (the guy that E loves). And E hears this. So throughout flag football in gym she chose to block my friend. Well, on purpose, she pushes her down and starts laughing. But my friend wasn't going to stoop down to her level, so she just told E to stop acting so immature and walked away. Well, after Spanish class me and my friend were sitting by this brick wall shed thingy. But my friend was standing, anyways she was talking about how E was being such a bitch, and needs to get over herself. And E comes up to her and slaps her in the face, and then pushes her and makes her head slam right into the brick wall. And she laughs and walks away before we can do anything about it. So I'm really pissed, and today I go on myspace to check my messages, and I see I have photo comments, and I see that E's best friend, (let's call her L) is posting comments abut how I'm an ugly ass bitch. Then she comments me over and over again saying such things as "Ugly ass bitch, Fag, Loser, Fat, Everyone hates you, Goth, Freak, Witch, Go die, etc." And I'm getting tired of this. And on Monday she is "threating" to get into some fight with me and my friends. >_> I'm not scared or anything, but I'm tired of their immaturity and crap.
But I don't want to go and tell the principle or anything unless it really starts to get out of hand.
So what should I do?


Thanks! (link)
I personally think that somebody pushing somebody else against a brick wall, is a bit serious. Like the other person said, block both of them on myspace and tell E and L that they need to stop because you are very sick of it. You could also tell the school counselor or like you said princeple! Hope i helped!!


If i tell my therapist that i have been molested, does she have to tell someone? Obviously theres a certain level of dr/patient confidentiality, but in some situations they're obligated to tell, or can tell. Do you think she can tell me my parents because im under 18? (im 17.) thanks. (link)
I am not sure. It really depends on the therapist. Maybe ask her if any of the stuff no matter how important it is, you tell her will she tell anybody such as your parents. I would tell her then if she says no, and tell her you would really like to keep this confidential and you would only like to talk about it with her. I on the other hand think this is a serious matter and your parents should know about this. But that is however your decision and if you don't feel comfortable speaking about it with them, then don't. But you can always talk to somebody here such as me. Hope i helped!!


MY MUM WON'T LET ME HAVE A BOYFRIEND!
am 15yrs old, ad my mum won't let me have a boyfriend!
All my friends have boyfriends, but i did'nt care i could'nt have one because i never saw it as a big deal....
Then...about a year ago i started to like this guy, i knew i could'nt go out with him, and was'nt upset i could'nt, because i thought, 'why would he like me? But about a month ago he asked me out, i told him i would think about it.(And hes saying take as long as you want, how cute is that)
I find it really unfair i can't go out with him, my mum says i need to concetrate on my studies but i am, an a/b student-and hes kinda more clever the me!
i don't think she trusts me either, but i know not to do anything stupid, i mean things like sex, am going to defo wait till am married.

I know she wants me to be safe and everything but, i really like him, and i wish that she would let me go out with him.
Is she being fair? (link)
Well, culture for dating is just getting younge and younger. I know people that are like 10 and 11 are dating. (i mean what do they do walk accross the hallway holding hands?)I do think that 15 is a very reasonable age to start dating at. But, I am not your parent, and I can't make those decisions. You should DEFNINTLY be able to go out by the time you are 16. Just tell your mom that you know she is worried about you doing stuff such as sex, but you would NOT do that until your married (from what you told me) but you are indeedy growing up and you think it is time that she is able to date. Maybe try telling her that you realllly like that one guy and that he asked you out but you couldn't go because of what she said, maybe she will reconsider it if you tell her that. Hope i helped!


when i was 14 i went out with a guy who was 17. we lasted 4 months and i didn't really like him anymore so i broke up with him. that was two years ago but just lately i've been thinking of him and there's a lot of things that are reminding me of him. i don't want to get back together with him but i don't want to think about him. he has a girlfriend anyway. how can i get my mind off of him? (link)
Maybe you are still in love with the fact of you and him together. If you didn't like him at that time i have doubts that you like him now. Although, you could just be having 2nd feelings for him. Ask yourself if he is a good boyfriend and if he treated you right. But i must say that off and on relationships normally don't get to far. Remember that. Hope i helped!


im 16/f umm at my school there's this new girl named tori and she's in my chemistry class. and we talked & stuff. and she would wait for me after class. but after a while she stopped waiting for me and she even stopped talking to me. i don't know why. and one day in class i said hi to her and she was like umm hey and she was being weird and rude. i know i shouldn't care but i felt like i've lost a friend. i don't get why doesn't she talk to me anymore? i didn't do anything to her.. so what should i do? (link)
I know this probably the answer you didn't want...but ask her why she is doing that. It could be from a rumor that is going around, and she heard it and doesn't like it or something. Maybe she started to hang out with a new group of friends that are mean like that, or don't like you. She might also be having troubles at home. Let her know that you wanna be friends with her and you care about her, and that you are there for her. If you do that im sure that will fix it.!


Okay i know all these does he like me questions get old but i really can't tell if he just likes me as a friend or more. Theres this kid Kyle that i think is really cute A few weekends ago we were hangin out with a bunch of friends and in the car he wuldnt sit in the middle so i did and he was on my side bcuz he didnt want to sit next to the other girl. Well i seen him earlier for the first time in like 2 weeks i went by him and then he yelled for me to come back so i did and hes all smilin and sayin whats up and askin me a bunch of questions then hes like why aren't you at school i ahvent seen you on the bus, so my guess is that he has been lookin for me? Also everytime i seem him he smiles and hes like whats uppp and we always make eye contact.Do you think he likes me? If so what should i do? THANKS!! (link)
It defnintly sounds like he likes you. If he is asking you why haven't you been at that place or whatever, he has been looking for you. I would maybe flirt with him a bit first, because he could just wanna stay friends but it doesn't sound like that. But if so you wouldn't wanna ruin you friendship. Maybe torment him with questions like he is doing to you, and if he is absent one day point it out and ask if he's feeling better. He will most likely get the vibe and probably ask you out! Good luck to both of you!


UGH!!!
why do people on my space or facebook play like there someone there not
like say ryan sheckler i want the real one that all those fake stupid people i mean relaly dont thay have a life to myspaces WHAT THE CRAP thay play like there them you say is this the real "WHO EVER" oh yes i am the real blah blah blah FAKEIES! i hate em

sorry i ahd to get it out ughh
agree? (link)
I agree completely with you. They just do that to either get attention, or just to see like how many people will beleive them. I know i have seen people who think they look like celebs and put there pic up saying they are so and so and you can totally tell its not them. I have a myspace, and Tom is trying to get rid of all of the posers. But in a way they are a good thing....the celebs may want to have just for friends myspace or something. Or maybe the stalkers would like just focus on them and they could really find out some serious info. But they are mostly bad. I just don't think getting this mad about it will help anything. Just take a deeeeep breath. And let it out!
