Q: I don't need this for anything special.
I just wanted to hear stories.
Whats the most stalkerish thing you've ever done to the boy or girl you like?
Because I did something and I think its funny , but I want to see if other people do stuff like I've done lol.
There was this guy I was totally obbsessed with about a year and a half a go. Me and my friends found out his schedule and always made an effort to walk past his classes. At break and lunch we would just follow him around everywhere. We thought we were being subtle about it, but now, looking back, I realise that we were really obvious.
There's a guy in the sixth form now, and the main reason my friend joined drama club and audition for a play was because he's part of the drama club! We are also planning to go play at the tennis courts which are opposite his house.
Oh and there's this guy in the year above and me and my best friend have started going to this really weird youth club just because he goes.

Q: I have a boyfriend and I have been with him for over a year. But The other night i was at a friends house and we were watching a porno and we ended up going down on each other. Does this make me bisexual because I did it? Or enjoyed it? I'm not attracted to girls but it just happened. 16/f/.
This sounds like a one-time thing, you enjoyed it, that's good. It does not necessarily mean you are bisexual. If you start to get more feelings for girls or become attracted to them, then you probably are bisexual. At the moment it just sounds like a one-off, but your feelings for girls could develop.

Q: Ok..so..i went on a date with this guy tonight and he was soo sweet. But..the problem is..im a little wild..i drink sometimes..and i cuss sometimes..i mean im your average teenager. This guy never drinks..and he just seems sooo good. Its not attractive to me..i like the bad boy image. Should i ditch this guy..or keep him around?
I think you should stick with him for a while, go on some more dates and see how things go. You might start to like him, but if not, then it doesn't matter. You havn't got anything to lose!

Q: i am a decent looking girl, but i have never been great around boys. i am not shy, but i am just not good at flirting. whenever i find a boy DOES like me, it always seems like they are the ones i don't like! i always find something wrong with them. this is going to sound stupid, but there's a boy in my grade who i don't know well but i have always had a feeling he likes me (he compliments me, trys to startup convos, etc.) i don't have anything against him, and i think he's nice...but sort of awkward...like not totally sure of himself). he is also sort of emo punkish...not usually my type (like he likes screamo music, etc.) it's just not really my thing. i don't know what to do...whenever i am at home i think "oh well maybe i'll give him a chance", but as soon as i see him i change my mind & feel all awkward. what should i do?!?!
You have the exact same problem as me. I'm quite shy around new people and am not very good at flirting. If someone fancies me it always seems to be the ones I don't like. But once there was this guy who asked me out and even though I didn't like him I just thought I'd give him a chance because I wanted a boyfriend for once. It totally didn't work out and I ended up blocking all his calls whch made me feel realy mean. So if you don't like a guy, then don't date him. I think, if you have to ask yourself 'Do I fancy him?' then you probably don't. Generally, if you fancy someone, you know, no doubt about it.

I've realised now that I'm quite picky and have high standards, which although is annoying I'm not going to lower them because I know that if I do I won't be happy and might feel used. It sounds like you probably have high standards too, don't lower them cos it will make you unhappy. You probably start to change your mind and feel awkward around him because you don't actually fancy him. It's a case of wanting a boyfriend, not wanting HIM.

But seeing as you don't know him very well, try to think of him as a friend and chat to him. If after a while you fancy him then ask him out. This doesn't mean asking yourself every month 'Do I fancy him yet?'. You will know straight away if you fancy him.




Q: My 18th bday is coming up in August. I live in Louisiana so its hot and inhabited by mosquitos. I'm inviting about 20 people. Mostly girls, but some guys. I want something mature and fun. Nothing that involves drinking, smoking, kissing, or anything childish. I'm having the party outside. I just have no idea what to do at the party. I need major advice. Also, I'm on a budget.

Any help is appreciated.
I'd say have a theme party that involves people in checking out each others outfits and costumes and being in a themed place, from experience I know that this usually stops people from drinking, smoking, kissing and being childish. At non-themed parties people who don't like dancing tend to get bored so wil start acting childish and causing trouble, will maybe try to set up kissing games or will smoke/get drunk, if you keep them busy and interested with a theme it will stop them from being bored and keep them occupied.

If you're having an outdoor party you need to have a theme that can work or works best outdoors, here are some ideas:

Animals: People can dress up as their favourite animals and you can make outside lok like a forest.

Egyptian: For this you can make invitations out of black construction paper and glue gold triangles on the front so they look like pyramids and you can also stick stars above the pryamids. You could try and get some models of sphynxes and out them around the garden, but if you can't find any then you could make some papier mache models yourself. A syphnx is like a siamese cat which Egyptians used to worship. Buy fabric samples that look egyptian so you can hang them over garden chairs. You can aso stick painting or pictures (these could just be pictures of Egypt from the internet ut behind glass or in frames) of Egypt and stick the around any fences or walls of sheds you have. See if anyone you know has gold/bronze cushions or buy them from a charity shop. You can put them on chairs or if they're big enough, lay them on the ground for epople to sit on. Gold/bronze tablecloths are good too.
For food you can have flat bread with dips, shish kebabs, stuffed grape leaves and marzipan deserts.
Look to epople like Cleopatra for ideas on how to dress and play epgyptian music for some of the time.

Hawaiian: Find fake flowers and hang them around chairs and if you have a pool put them in there. Stick tropical pictures around and exotic fabric samples over chairs. Have a log fire and put marsmellows out so people can roast them on the fire.
Serve drinks in coconut shells and ask people to dress up in beach wear or Hawaiian skirts. Play Hawaiian music as guests arrive and play limbo.

Q: what exactly is a victimless crime
I don't know for certain, but most likely a crime that doesn't involve a victim. For example, murder or rape does involve a victim, so wouldn't be a victimless crime. A victimless crime could be buying pirate videos, illegally downloading free music off the internet or moving to another country as an illegal imigrant.

Q: I am 14/F and I want to eat the food groups what we are suppose to eat so I can keep healthy. How much grain, fruit, vegetable, etc. do I need to eat? I don't like milk, so what is another way I can drink it? I like cereal though. Is eating two slices of bread good to accomplish my grain servings?
Me and my friends are trying to eat healthily at the moment too!
You should eat 5 portions of carbohydrates every day. Carbohydrates include cereal, bread, grains, pasta, rice, crackers etc.
You should eat 2 portions of dairy a day. Dairy includes mik, butrer, cheese etc.
You should eat 2 portions of protein a day. Protein icludes lentils, pulses, fish, meat, eggs etc.
You should eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. Note that despite what people say, lentils and pulses do count as one of your portions.
You should try to only eat one portion of salty/fatty/sugary foods a day, such as crisps, chocolate etc.
If you don't like milk, I can only suggest that you try soya milk.
Two slices of bread would count as one of your carb portions, but try to eat wholemeal bread - it's much better for you.

Q: i been dating this person over a month now and the person is 15 and i am 17 about to turn 18 in a month is that a bad thing because everybody say it is jail bait something like that.
That is definitely not a bad thing! Some people just like to tease people for the fun of it cos they havn't got anything better to do, ignore them and they'll go away. Also, I know tons of people that date younger guys, it's not a problem!

Q: What is a good way to attract people to subscribe to your youtube site??
When your at school, go on about it (not too much though, you don't want to put them off, just enough to get them excited. Talk about movies you'll be shooting soon and get your friends to star in them too. That way, your friends will tell other people about them. Include the link on your bebo, myspace, myyearbook, livejournal, flixster and any other sites your on. Put the link as part of your msn name and email all your contacts sending them the link and telling them to watch it and send the link to all their contacts. It should work!

Q: my mom makes me walk to the library after school on tuesdays and thursdays. well its fine except i always get like shouted at by boys and men. i dont wear revealing clothes or anything but they always say things like, "nice ass" or "hey hottie' and i hate it so much. it happens whenever my parents arent with me. what can i do?
Firstly, take it as a compliment! At least you know that guys think you're hot!
But, I do know that you don't like it, so try and take another route. If you still have the same problem, or if there is not other route, then just smile at these guys as you walk, and carry on walking. If they say stuff to you then just ignore them, but still look happy. After all you don't want to look annoyed. Do this and they usually start shouting 'give us a smile!' and 'why the long face, babe?' (this has happened to me).
So yeah, just smile, carry on walking and look happy.

Q: umm hi. im 13 and i wanna no how to masturbate. and explain where aeverything in your vagina is because im not sure of all the proper language. please all my friends do it but i dont know how so can someone tell me?! thanks! i rate high! just like explain how you did it your first time. thanks!
There are all different types of masturbation. You could try fingering, or massaging your clit.

Q: what does it mean when a people says"your too good for me"?
It basically means 'you're out of my league' and 'i don't deserve you' and 'you're prettier/cooler/funnier than me'.

Q: okay so im 16/f and im a junior.
and i like this kid whos a freshman i know how awful is that? but i mean hes supposed to be a sophmore. so its not that bad. but yeah. and my friend said i should invite him to junior prom. and i know thats a long way away. but would it be kinda dorkish to bring a freshman to junior prom??

thanks in advance.
=)
I know a lot of people that like/date people 1 or 2 years younger than themselves, and no one thinks it's dorky!
I think you should get to know him first, go and chat to him, but not with a whole group of mates, as he's younger than you, if you're with your mates he might think you're taking the mick out of him (I've had this problem before). Try chatting to him in the lunch queue (I've done this before and have made good mates with some boys!). You could ask your friends to come a little later than you and meet you in the lunch queue, they could all come up and say 'hi!' (so you don't look like a loner) while you're in the middle of chatting to him, and then you could introduce them.
Make sure you wait until later to ask him to prom though.

Q: My best friend's birthday was at the end of August. I got her an amazing gift before her bday even came, but the thing is - I have not given it to her! We sort of lost touch during August & September. We go to the same school, but we aren't as close as we were years ago. I want to give her the gift (she knows I got her something) but I feel like an idiot giving it to her so late. What should I say/do without making it seem like her friendship isn't important to me?
You should give it to her straight away! Tell her you feel a bit of a prat giving it to her so late, but yoy really wanted her to have it.
She'll be really happy, I'm sure.

Q: I reallylike this boy and he likes me too. The thing is i dont like how he dresses my friends have even said he looks like trailer trash but im crazy about his personaliity. What do i do? p.s. he has heart problems and has a heart monitor
I think you should go out with him. Don't care what your friends say, do what YOU want. They will probably have more respect for you if you do what you want, they will know that you're not a pushover and if you want to do something, you'll do it.
I really do think you should date him, maybe go out as a group with your's and his friends sometime. Your mates are sure to realise what a great guy he is even if his clothes are slightly trailer trash.

Q: Every night I cry so hard because I get so hurt from having my boyfriend talk to other girls. Yes, I've talked to him about it, and he says they're all friends. I believe him, I just don't know how to stop being jealous. I get so stressed, and I'm just tired of crying and being hurt all the time. Please help me.
You are probably feeling a little insecure at the moment, but you don't need to be, think about it, your boyfriend is going out with YOU, not those other girls, and why? Because he LIKES you, he cares about you and can probably think of many reasons why you're great.
The reason you're jealous is most likely because at the moment you're feeling insecure and may have low self-esteem.
Ask your friends and family what they like about you - from your behaviour, to your looks, to your personality - and see what they say. They're bound to come up with lots of things, write down the things they say, and read them aloud to yourself every morning before you get up, and every evening before you go to bed.
Soon you will wonder why you are jealous of him talking to those girls when you're so great.
You may think that my advice has nothing to do with jealousy, but trust me, it does, just try what I've said and I'm sure it will make a difference.

Q: well i have this so-called best friend.SHe can be lovely but she see's everything as a competition

Whenever I get my hair cut or get something new, she comes in with something to try and outdo me? I really dont see the point.Its like everything is a competition! And then she copies me with stuff and then claims its her own idea and try's to turn people against me.I know for a fact shes been bitching about me aswell but then when i confront her she just try's to suck up to me.
I would also confront her about all the competition but she just try's to turn it all back on me and its so frustrating.My mum thinks shes just jealous of me.But I have no idea what to do.
Someone help please..

muchloveamiixxxxxxxxxx
Your friend is always trying to outdo you, so she probably is jealous and is most likely insecure.
The best thing to do is to make her feel good about herself. Compliment her on her hair/eyes/figure and if she ever comes up with things, tell her what a great idea it is. In lessons, tell her if you think she's done good work, and congratulate her if she gets a high mark or gets a really good score in a test. She will feel more secure and self-confident, so won't feel the need to prove how good she is to other people.
As for her bitching behind your back and then sucking up, she oviously wants to appear in a good light so is nice to your face. This is another sign that she's insecure so carry on making her feel good. You can't just ignore the bitching though, talk to her in private and tell her that it upsets you when she says mean things about you (say "It upsets me when you say mean things about me", not "I don't like it when you're mean"). If she sucks up to you then tell her that she doesn't need to, you'll still be her friend, but that you don't want her to keep saying mean things about you behind your back. Tell her that if you ever upset her or make her annoyed then she should come and talk to you about it, instead of moaning to other people.

Q: Hello I am a 13 year old girl and I don't know what to do. I like this guy ALOT and I was going to tell him that I liked him but I found out he was going to ask out this really nice girl out. I don't know if I should tell him or not now. If I don't I'll regret it. But if I do tell him it might reck his relationship with the girl. He could change his feelings or something... I don't know what to do...
I think the best thing to do would be to just go up to him, be confident and tell him how you feel. If he's not already going out with this girl then it can't wreck their relationship, because at the moment, they don't have one.
See what he says, he might feel the same way towards you and you could start going out. If he doesn't say anything, then make the silence funny by saying something like 'woah, this is awkward' and smiling. If he says he doesn't like you in that way then just say 'ok then, no worries'.
However, if he really really likes this girl and goes on about her all the time, it's best not to say anything as I know that when some poeple are really head over heels for someone, they find it hard to fancy anyone else.
If this is the case, then leave him to ask out this girl, if she says yes, then be happy for him and wait until they're not dating anymore, if they do break up, then comfort him for a week, then, if you still fancy him, you can tell him how you feel.
If she says no, then, again, comfort him for a week and then tell him how you feel.

Q: whenever im around people that i dont usually hang out with like new people, i usually get shy.. this always happens so now i am known as the shy girl.. any tips that would help me to get unshy? i have tried to start conversations but sometimes i have nothing to say. and i have always tried to be myself too
Let the new people see you being friendly and chatty with people you do know, then talk to them when you're with one of your mates. Don't ask them questions but let them join in and soon you'll be chatting.
I was once in your situation, and trust me, it works.
