my friend hates my crush and my crush and i are friends! but my friend thinks that my crush is runty and that i deserve better! what can i do to change my friend's mind? i rate!
Well it doesnt matter what she thinks its what you think that matters maybe she likes this guy to and shes jelous and wants him to her self talk to her connect its the best way. And be honest to each other maybe he did somthing mean to her in the past. talking ive found is the best thing to do!

Hi,
I am doing a play with a kiss scene. And the person that I happen to be kissing is my guy friend. So its really akward. I really try to make it non-akward after but somehow it just is. And I was going to do the "theatre illusion" of kissing someone but the drama teach says it looks to obvious (putting your thumbs over the person's mouth and kissing your thumbs). Is there any other way to make it illusion? so its not all akward. We already kissed for once and for real. Boy, I was mad. All my friends are like aw, you should go out with him. I mean for heaven's sake! It was a staged kiss!
Any adice?
Por Favor :)

I LOVE DRAMA! It's my hobbie. Well I think you should talk to your friend/kissing partner and tell him that you dont mean it its just a stage kiss. Ignore your friends they're just being anoying and probley jelous you got the lead and get to kiss sombody. You just have to pretend its your crush your kissing trust me it helps :D. The only other kissing illusion that i know is when you kiss next to there lip and hold your hand up to his face. hope i helped.
Alright, this might take a minute, I have this really good friend Jake. He tells me he's "in love with me", and is planning on asking me out this friday. We have went out once before for a short time, and broke up because I had alot going on and didnt really want to deal with a boyfriend. He got really upset and hurt himself. He knows that I'm not so sure if i want to go out with him or not, but still, his hopes are high. I do like him sometimes, but it's weird and when i'm in certain moods i just dont like him like that at all.
Then, I really really like this other friend (Nick) of mine. He is alot older than me, and at our age difference right now nothing would happen. But I still do like him and he's one of my good friends. I have no idea if he likes me like that, but sometimes he does give me weird signals.
Anyway, I am not sure if I want to go out with Jake or not. I am in a few classes where there is Nick and Jake and (they are friends, but nobody knows I like Nick except my best friend.) I know that it would be weird, Nick wouldnt say anything but I know he would be kind of disappointed in me. Either way, if i say yes or no, i know that I am going to be unhappy with my answer. if i say yes i'll wish i said no and if i say no i'll wish i said yes. I don't really know what Im getting at, but this is my problem and i need to know soon.
Thanks for the help.
I recamend that you say yes if it doesnt work then it doesnt work. Nick mite be to old for you and its not a good idea now. Jake might be a good bf if you try. And Im sure Nick Will like you when you get older and the age difrence isnt that bad at an age. Hope I helped. And if jake hurts himself again talk to his parents about it or your mom to talk to his parents.
15f, okay ive realized that having like 2 or 3 best friends is perfect, no drama no nothing, and then they started hanging out with their old friends who are totatlly bitches, sry, but i could care less then at 300 in the morning last night i get these stupid phone calls of them making fun of me and my boyfriend, i just feel really hurt and betrayed by them because it wasn't them saying things but they were telling them to say things obviously because i tell them everything and to only them. i just wished that they could have made the other girls stop calling me. i just hope that you guys got that, its hard to understand, but what should i do, now all i have is my bf and his friends? should i talk to my best friends about what they did?
Defintaly! Talk to your friends and tell them it is just hurting you and dont listen to them if they wanna be jerks let them be jerks. It only counts what you think about your boyfriend nobody else kay? kay. and dont ever doubt it so please talk to your friend theres not better way.
ok....i no its right before christmas...but is it rude to dump my boyfriend... i mean i don't like him anymore...im worried about breaking up because im worried he'll do stuff to himself...he said he would try suicide if we ever broke up....but at the same time im not happy! PLEASE HELP ME!
Let him down easy if you know his parents tell them the situation. im sure they will take away all his pointy objects and stuff. And its your life hun, you gatta do what you gatta do.
im 14/f and i really want my belly button peirced! i finally got my mom to say yes its just my dad. he says he doesnt want me to get infected and thinks im too young but i told him id clean it alot and everything but he still doesnt know. how do i get him to say yess?? pleasee helpp
Get a doctor or somone you know to prove to him that its safe. And if it gets infected you'll take it out and let it close up and take medician for it you can get theres special books for it and and effects that happen you can look it up and see what happend if its effected or somthin like that.
my cousin and i are really not on good terms right now but it is really horrible because hes best friends with my old friend thats now being a jerk to me and getting everyone to hate me and he is also going out with my friend who is also becoming best friends with my old friend its horrible because now my friend is introdusing all of the guys that i like to my old friend and now she is going out with all of them and getting them to turn against me which is horrible because i really like my cousins best friend and he just went out with my old friend and my old friend even got my cousin to hate me i know that this is confusing but i have no clue what i should do what should i do??
Well tell your friend that he or she is being a jerk and you guys should be friends again. And dont listen to him start talking to the other people that you like. Maybe get some of there s/ns. dont take it personally maybe he/she is jelous.
Hey! I was just wondering if anyone had any advice of how or where i can record songs and music? I have a record studio at my school but i was wondering what else could i do to record? is there a website?
Look in the news paper or look it up on your computer ask your mom to get you signed up somewhere and if you take music lessions ask your teacher where is a good place also you can call some places from the phone book. Hope I helped.
13/M and i have liked this one girl for about a year now and her and her bf (my friend) of about 1 year and a half just broke up. How long should i wait before i do anything and should i just drop hints. i'm a really good friend of hers and i dont want to do something at the wrong time.
p.s- i was thinking of sending her flowers w/ a card in them or something any good ideas greatly appreciated.
Thats perfect flowers are a great idea! And drop lil hints here and there. Give her a good 2 weeks and then she'll be ok you can be there to help her get throught it it always works! good luck.
My computer for some odd reason just started to go very slow, and akes awhile for everything to load on it. We just took it to a 'computer doctor' in may, and its doing the same things over again. We have more popups and the internet doesnt come up right away now. So, Instead of paying another 70$ to get it fixed again, what exactly do I have to do to stop all of this? Even as I type this now, the popups keep coming and interupting me. I just cant stand this anymore, can someone just please tell me wht to do!? Thank you very much.

Well you can get norton antivirus scan its compleatly free and it shows you all the files you have viruses on and it takes a while to do but be patiant and every month or so if you get it it checks your computer for you and tells you if theres a virus. It helps alot it saved my computers but! :D.
Im 13 years old and I just started jr. high. I'm in the 7th grade. The problem is that I have no friends and I don't know how to make any. I've tried to be social, but no one seems to want to talk to me. I'm in all honors classes, and the girls in the honors classes are all rich and white and popular. I don't really like them anyway, but i have every class with them. Thankfully, i have 1 really good friend I met this year. She dosnt have friends, either. How can I make friends? I want to be the popular girl i was in elementary.
Do you have any intrest hobbies. Well im sure theres clubs at your school join one of them find girls like u! and dont lose your friend she is always ganna be there for you.
My mom seems to think that only black people wear brands such as Roccawear, Baby Phat and Ecko. I like the clothes and she wont let me wear them because on the websites the people who are modeling them happen to be black. So tell me really, do these brands are truly only worn by Africans?
No way! All my friends always where echo and rocca wear. It rocks. personally I like pac sun but thats my oppinion. And you should be aloud to wear them. Talk to your mom and let her know that white ppl wear them to.
my ex b/f told me that he likes me yesterday...hes a year younger then me, and a grade below me... he knows that i dont like him...he said that he liked it alot the last time we went out. we are supposed to hang out this week. he says that i shouldnt feel bad, but i do.... things wont be very bad for me, but hes a shy person and i dont know if hes gonna talk to me when we hang out...is there anything i can do or say that will help him any...???
Well become his friend and start a friendly convo. And dont even talk anything about dating again. And he can be a good friend if you try and try to make him a more open person. happy new year.

But when we have school she id do mean to me and using bad words. She sometimes can be nice but not
all the time. Help me

Talk to your parents about it or a adult who u can trust and tell them about it the school consuler always helps. And talk to your friend tell her how you feel about it talk to another friend of both or your friends and try to have a lil girl time. hope i helped.
I decided to get a hair cut today but I don't what kind i want! I have dirty blonde hair and it's very long! I'm 17 and a female! Any suggestions?
cut it shoulder langth and donate the rest to the cancer fund.
My best friend Nicole has been my friend since 5th grade and were in 9th grade now. We're so close and we talk about everything together. One of our good friends who was 17 yrs old just passed away on december 5th from cancerous tumers on his brain. It was so sudden. We all got so scared after that becasue in our town, theres been alot of deaths from cancer. We didn't think it would actually effect someone so young, an ready to go off to college. The worst part about it is that his mother had already lost 2 other sons before him. So she basically just lost her 3rd son.
Sadly to say, just last week, about 2 days before Xmas, my best friend Nicole was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors said that the lumps on her neck were the beginning of Mono, but they were wrong. Her tests came back, and she now has cancer. Shes gonna be at Westchester hospital for about 4-5 weeks going through kemo and stuff. Me, and a bunch of our other friends are worried sick about her becasue its so sudden, and we dont want to lose her like we lost our other friend. I'm so sad, and I desperately need someone to make me think of positive things about her right now, becasue really all i can think of is our other friend who just died and if shes gonna end up like that. This is a very hard time for me, can anyone give me any advice on this? I just dont know how to think about something good. Thank You!

Visit her as often as possible and it may help you if you donate to the live strong cancer fund. I did and it made me feel better. And dont worry im sure your friend will be fine :D. See there curing the problem fast and quick so it wont turn out bad and im so sorry about your other friend. Best of luck.
In school theres this kid who is always annoys me and when im around this guy I have A HUGE crush on he always say SHE LIKES YOUUU!! practicily screaming! I feel so embarassed and mad at this idiot. Before winter break let out about a week ago I told him he was a dirty bastard and to never talk to me again since then he hasnt but he keeps coming on to my friend and hes being REALLY PEVERTED and saying peverted things to her? What do I do?
Take to the school princaple maybe he can help straighten this boy out. Tell your friend to try to avode him. and try to get your crushes s/n so u can talk to him online. And about this kid try to ignore him and just pretend that hes not there. Hope I helped.
ok i have these white dots on my nails. there in any random spot, anywhere on my nail. does anyone else have these or know what they are?? thanks
It may be your not getting enought calcium. or not eating healthy enought *not trying to be rude* or maybe your eating to much calcium.
And its causing my legs to hurt in pain. Ive been exerising for two days at the same place. I cant walk properly without having some kind of balance, and I've crawled most of the time even up the stairs. My mom thinks I'm faking it just because I dont want to go exerising again. I dont, because the pain will only get worse. Is doing the same exerise helping me or hurting me?
I'm 15, and female.
You need to talk to your mom again and tell her that this exersise is just not working for you tell her you'll eat healthy and maybe walk every morning or somthing you can work out a deak with her. Talk to a school conseler. They help alot or a friend that will listen and can help you out. Try just not to eat sweets and my advice is what i do is i have one day a week where i can eat junk food but the rest is healthy stuff. Good luck.
Im in love with this guy, we've been dating for 10 months now-- and at first i knew he loved me too.. but now it seems like he doesnt anymore.. i feel miserable somtimes because, im over here and i love him soo much, but he wont even look twice at me.. i feel like i've lost the that "thing" that first made me attractive to him. but the other day we hung out and everything seemed just fine we had a really good time (that was 3 days ago) and i havent heard from him since then.. wut do i do? is he using me? does he really like me? or is he just confused? im worried that im loosing him everyday, and i hate feeling like that because i love him so much and would do anything for him.. i just need sum answers b/c i cant figure out wuts goin on... >he didnt even buy me a christmas or a birthday present
Wow thats tought. I think you guys lost your flame and he's not the right guy for you. But thats a jerk to not get you a birthday present. You need to talk to him tell him whats on your mind and see if he still loves you like you do. and if he says no im sorry to say but u need to break up with him and move on. theres other fish in the sea.
