My cousin likes this guy but the thing is I think I kinda like him too. He flirts with both of us but I don't know what to do..either go for him or not to. Last time my cousin broke up with her ex and he wanted to dance with me so I did and she freaked out and ran to the bathroom crying. I can't have that happy again. By the way we're best friends :/ Well he's my age and my cousins only 12 and I'm 14. What do I do? (link)
i think you should leave him alone because he oviously doesnt know who he like either if he if flirting with both of you. also you should never mess with a relitives love life because things could get nasty if you know what i mean. last i think that you shouldnt go out with your friend because what if you break up and never talk to each other? you would have withed that ya'll were still friends. just sit back and let things happen on their own!


whenever i talk to someone i cant really look at them in the eye and i look around.. what can i do so i can acutally LOOK at them in the eye when im talking to them? (link)
i do the same thing eather you try as hard as you can to look in to their eyes or you tell them sorry but i have to look around (if you dont they will think u have low self estem)


Well i have a friend lets call him fred.. well fred is usally really happy.. and i cant picture him being sad at all.. i dont think i have ever seen him sad.. and ive known his since 2nd grade (in 10th now) so ya.. and today i went online and his away message said dead inside.. and i asked him if he was ok and he didnt say anything.. and im worried about him cause hes one of my really really good friends.. what should i do? please answer i rate high.. (link)
awwww... well obviously you're a really good friend, because you care about him enough to ask for advice about it!

probably the best thing you can do now is just talk to him about it... tell him that you've been his best friend since 2nd grade, and he knows you well enough to be able to tell you ANYTHING.

you can't really do much about it, because maybe he just doesn't want to talk about. just let him know that you're there for him whenever he needs you.

maybe he just wants to be alone and doesn't really want to talk about it right now. just give him some time, but don't bugg him too much about it and keep asking him what's wrong, because he'll probably get annoyed and get mad.

whatever it is that he's sad or mad about, i'm sure he'll tell once he's ready. just say somethiing like this

"Fred I've known you since 2nd grade, and you've been my best friend ever since, and i'm really worried about you, and i just wanted to let you know that i'm there for you whenever you need me, and you can tell me anything, and i'll understand."

and just say something like that, because you don't want to push it or MAKE him tell you what's wrong, because maybe he just doesn't want to tell anyone right now.

***good luck!!***


myspace isnt working for me and i just wanted to know whether it was my computer being crappy or if there was an error with the site. thanks a bunch (link)
myspace is soo cool, half of my school is on that shit. that might be the problem why it is taking so long. the website might not be able to handle all you people on it.


Lately I've been cutting myself when the stress gets to be too much.Yesterday I cut myself like 6 times... How can I stop myself from cutting myself? (link)
oh my gosh doesn't that hurt?! cutting does nothing good for you, and there's no point in doing it because you just get addicted to it so then you do it more, and it really hurts yourself, and it may even lead to suicide.

there are a lot of other ways to relieve stress or to relax, and it's not NEARLY as bad as cutting, because each time you cut you become even more addicted to it, and it makes it harder to stop each time.

some of them are really weird and might not help but owell.

you can sceam as loud as you can, and if you don't want anyone to hear you then scream into a pillow to block out the sound.

you can start punching and kicking your bed or pillow or anything soft, but don't take it out on a person and start beating them up because that would hurt...

you can take a nice loooooooong bath with scented candles all around you w/ the lights off (but you would still have some light because of the candles) while you listen to some music or something.


Ok so my name is Tilly and I came in late for biology class. I look in my chair and there was a note with my name on it..I opened it and it said "Tilly, will you go out with me-your secret admirer"..obviously, they were joking because it was written very MESSY and..if i wanted to say yes/no..how could i tell them? so i was being mocked and embaressed..should I get over it? I wanted to cry so bad..this made me feel even more horrible because people have been calling me ugly for 5 years! (link)
whoever wrote that is a total jerk!! just forget about it and move on, and ignore anyone that makes fun of you and stuff.

it always helps to tell someone about your problems and just let it all out. just talk about this kinda stuff to your friends, and she'll comfort you about it.

and remember, if people've been calling you ugly for a long time, just don't worry about it. because it's what's on the inside that counts!! and if no one will REALLY ask you out, then that means that they just care about what's on the outside! soon you'll find someone that loves you, and that not only cares about how you look but cares about the inside, and how nice you are!

but if you want to look pretty or something, then striaght layered hair that's about 5 inches below your shoulders looks good. (most boys just like it when a girl's hair is down.)

and also, if you want to wear makeup, then don't overdo it. just wear some eyeliner and some lip gloss or something, because if you overdo it then it'll probably look really bad!

**good luck!!**


FOr hoemcoming I want to get my nails done. I bite my nails and they are short n stubby n ugly ( i kno i know, terrible habbit) Which would be better? acrylic tips or full acrylics? any advice on either of them or which one i should get? thanks

p.s. i want to get them french manicured too

how much would all this cost do u know?

THANKS!! (link)
I'd actually recommend gel nails instead of acryclics. I've had both, and by far, I liked the gels better. The acrylics don't last as long, and they don't look as good as gels do. But, if you still want to go with the acrylics, I'd say get the tips. I believe both gels and acrylics are french manicured in the first place. If you go for the really expensive gel nails it's about $40 but if you go with the acryclics I'd say maybe $25.
I hope I helped!

How much do tanning salons cost to go?? Thanks!! (link)
Depends on where you go. Try to avoid places with sign up fees & contracts. Find a place that you can pay monthly for unlimited tanning. At my old tanning salon, I was on a 6 month contract for $160.. and I hardly even went but 4 months, so it was a waste of money. But the one I go to now is about $29.95 a month...which is EXTREMELY cheap compared to most places. I think the decent price is $30-$35 and cheaper. Any other place - you're paying too much.

How do i make a guy like me?? they guy i like told my friend "idk maybe" when she was seeing if he would ever go out with me. what does idk maybe mean? if im not quite there, HOW DO I GET THERE?? Ill rate 5's for good answers. (link)
you cant MAKE some one like you, but just be yourself. if you don't be yourself around him then he starts to like you, then it's not realy YOU that he likes.

just go talk to him a lot and flurt with him. and maybe MIGHT mean that he likes you, but you never know.

he might be saying that because he doesnt want to hurt your feelings. but if he didn't like you, why would he care about hurting your feelings or not?

maybe he just doesn't know you enough, so he said maybe. you need to talk to him more so then you guys'll get to know each other better and he might start to like you. but remember, just be yourself.

but don't act and talk all weird when you flurt with him. because most guys don't like sissy gurls that are too gurly.

it all depends on the guys taste for girls. you can't really GET THERE if you just aren't his type.

just be yourself, and if he doesn't like you, then he's not worth it, and he's missing out on a lot.

he may seem like THE GUY right now, but maybe he's not. maybe there are a lot of bad things about him that you just don't know about.

and don't worry, even if it turns out that he doesn't like you, then that's his fault, and there's a lot of other guys that would be happy to go out with you.

please rate me!

*good luck*


ok, my best friend and i have known each other since we were 2. we're actually a lot more like sisters, because we know everything about each other. we're now sophomores in high school, and she has yet to make one friend of her own. every friend she has was because i was friends with them first, which isnt a problem, but she needs to seriously be able to make her own friends. we have EVERY class together, and she just tags along. i never get a break from her. i cant stand her attitude, and if i hadnt have known her my whole life i probably wouldnt choose to be friends with her. she judges everyone and is just plain mean. i honestly need to get away from her but i cant, and i cant talk to her because shell just go crying to MY friends and try to get them to be on her side. what the hecks and i supposed to do!?!? (link)
omg im in the same situation!

i cant stand her, and my friend nicole told me that i should say "we need sometime off of eachother kay?" and i did that and she went to all of her friends and (well the friends i made and she sits with me at lunch everyday weather i like it or not and she thinks their friends with her when she just stocks (like whereever i am in school she is) me all the time so yeah) and i told her to f off because we deffinitally need time apart, and just stay away from me.

i also ignore her in class also because she a bia and wont stop going "are you mad at me?" and i go "no im not mad at you i-" and then she inturrupts and goes "okay then why are you ignoring me?" and then i say "you didnt let me finish my setence, i said, im not mad at you i hate you" in a serious voice.

so at the end of the school day she sits on the other side of the room and i always catch her looking at me and my friend kim was like "why is brittany staring at you and me" and i start whhispering to her and look at brit at the same time and then brit sticks her toung out (what a baby right?!!!) and looks away.

if you take my advice, tell her if you hear one roumer about you, and she was the only one who knoes, she will be in trouble. right? right.

peace out

good luck also ♥

how can i tell if a girl likes me 13/m if it helps
(link)
there's a lot of ways you can tell, but not every girl does the same thing, so it really depends on who it is.

a lot of times it might seem like a girl likes you, just because you like her a lot and you want her to like you, but don't get too optimistic about it because sometimes you might think that a girl is giving you "signs" but she really isn't.

if a girl keeps looking at you in the eye and won't look away for a while, that might mean she likes you. but sometimes girls do that if they hate someone, but most of the time they do it because they like you.

if a girl flurts with you and talks to you alot, that usually means she likes you too. if she just talks to you normally though, that might mean she just likes you as a friend, but usually if she asks you who you like or talks to you about boys, then she probably likes you, and she's trying to get you to ask her who she likes. but if she asks you for advice on another boy she likes or something, she probably just likes you as a friend.

if a girl asks you to dance with you at a dance, that doesn't necessarily mean she likes you. maybe she's just dancing with you for fun, or because she thinks you're hott, but only likes you as a friend. but if she asks you to dance with her and talks to you the whole time and looks at you in the eyes the whole time and holds you really close to her, then that probably means she likes you.

if there's a girl you really like, but you don't know for sure if she likes you or not, then let her know that you like her. talk to her a lot and ask her who she likes. maybe if you ask her, she might say she doesnt want to tell you, so then just keep guessing who she likes, and then ask her if she likes you, and if she doesn't answer, then that might mean that she does like you. then just tell her that you'll tell her who you like if she tells you who she likes.

but don't worry, because even if there's a girl that you really like but she doesn't like you back, then you can't make her like you, so just forget about her, and you'll find someone else later on that you like, and likes you back too.

hope i helped please rate me!!


Hey well im 14 im going to get a car when im 15 and my aunt is gonig to sell her 2.5 TL Acura to me..but tha only problem is its a '98! is this good? its leather and everything and it only has 75,000 miles on it.. (link)
I would not recommend it as a first car, especially with low miles.

"Luxury car" = higher insurance
New driver = easily wrecked car
Wrecked luxury car = permanant higher insurance

I don't know much about your driving ability (which is probably minimum at 14), but I know insurance and statistics, sooo. Hope this will help your decision.


I am new to this site and it seems infested with young teenagers asking about bands who care more about their image than their music. Since when do trends like black hair and girls jeans take precedence on what muscians are there for in the first place? Everyone is following a cookie cutter sound and it seems no one cares about throwing something fresh into the music community and that the only way to get noticed is to follow the crowd.

I guess what I'm asking is, are the cookie cutter image based bands just marketed well and forced upon youth, or are kids not being exposed to the real music enough for them to get into it? (link)
See, it's not just the music preference of thie kids that bothers me. You can sit down and illustrate for these kids why their music is bad and represents the fall of rock, and they are so naive they block out everything you say, even if it makes total sense. They like their music and stay firm on that, but they don't even care to open their minds to see what is actually out there.


I met this girl Stacy on an online RPG, and we were good friends, then we realized that we loved each other, and things were really great. Don't tell me it was teenage infatuation. I know love when I feel it! So anyway my parents won't let me on it anymore. Crap, I gotta go, so I'll hurry. Basically, I miss her, she misses me, we have no way of communicating, and I've got another girlfriend but I still miss her soooooo much. Thanks all! (smartasses get 1s) (link)
i can see why your parents won't let you on it anymore. they're just trying to protect you, because stacy might not even be who she says she is. who do you love more? stacy, or your other girlfriend? since your parents dont let you on it anymore, then it'll be hard to communicate with stacy anyway, she might not even be who she says she is anyway. and it's good to have her as an online girlfriend now, but as you get older, you wouldn't just want to have her as a girlfriend, and not even get to meet her in real life. so i would suggest just stiking with your other girlfriend. it might take some time to get over stacy, and it'll be hard, but over time you'll find someone even better that's right there. it's your choice, if you really love Stacy and don't want to let her go, then you can find some way to still keep in touch with her. but i think your other girlfriend is a way beter choice.
hope i helped please rate me!
