Hey, I’m usually the one giving advice. I don’t need advice. I just have a question and I want to know your opinion. This question is for deep thinkers. Long answers are encouraged as well as comical ones.

I’ve seen quite a lot of “love” questions, asked by adolescences. What would you call "true love"? Many people have been saying “I have a boyfriend and I REALY love him” and “she said that he loves me” or things like that. I’ve seen these questions being asked by 13 year olds! Teens DO have deep affections for people, but I really don’t think that they are capable of TRUE love. How can there be love if teen relationships only last 2 months or even 2 years! 2 years is quite long for a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but shouldn’t love last a LIFETIME? I agree that teens think that they are in love (I’ve been there) but I wouldn’t call that love. I would call it more like, “deep affection”. After all, if love between teens is really “love” then they shouldn’t break up, right? I think that teens are too young and “unexposed” to have TRUE LOVE. Even adults. They mistakenly call their relationships “love”. If it was actually love, then shouldn’t there be less or no divorces?

Listen, man. I'm 13 and I'm in love. As for describing love, it's just an undescribable feeling, something that you just know, and you've never felt it before but right off the bat once you experience it you can tell that it's love as right as 2+2 is 4. Love is true happiness. Love has nothing to do with "Is he hot?" Love is just the best feeling a guy could ever have, and I want the world to know that it's a deep emotion, a true feeling like no other, not just a word.


Can i simply have a yes or no answer to this question:
My brother used to put his hands down the back of my trousers and grab my butt and stuff like that, i told him to stop but he wouldnt. is this abuse? (link)
Er, yes. That is very abusive. There was actually a sketch of Mad TV about that, but trust me, that doesn't make it unabusive. You should tell someone about this.


There's this guy that I really like, and we're in a couple classes together. The problem is, we never really talked last year. But I'm really shy. How can I get over my shyness and just talk to him, or even say hi? Rate 5's for good answers. (link)
Listen. I'm a shy person, but I can tell you that the only way to get past your fears is to just stand up to them. Listen, just say hi to him, and hopefully, you can get to know him, get his number, AIM, e-mail, address. Hope I helped, good luck getting through to him!


my stepfather is a total baby. he gets what ever he wants. his mom baught him a car. my mom baught him a scanner. and his mom baught him a new computer. and those were when he just wanted it. it's like he get's what he wants but i dont get what i want. and he gets expensive stuff on his birthdays when i just get a birthday card. how do i get things to be fair around here. or atleast stop him from getting what ever he wants

i'll rate 5s for answers (link)
Try talking to your mom? Hope I helped!


How do I tell my parents I want to date? I dont want to flat out say it

I rate high (link)
Late at night, call them into your room, and say something like "Ok, so let's say there's this (boy/girl)." "Yeah?" "Who I like." That's what I did, and it worked. Hope I helped!


im either really really really really happy or extremely pissed off or depressingly sad. i think i could be bipolar. what does that consist of? what do i do? anything.... (link)
Bipolar means a split personality, you have like 2 different people inside you. Like that guy 2-face, I think he was in Batman movies. Anyway, what you described is sort of tripolar. There's nothing wrong with having a split personality. Everyone has their quirks. They just show a lot more on certain people... like me, we still don't know what's wrong with me yet.


ok.. here we go.. I am totally in LOVE with my ex boyfriend.. the only reason we broke up is because he went back home (to minnasota from newjersey) he's comming back durring the winter varation. I miss him so much! but i like this other guy who's about to ask me out.. but the thing is idk if i'm ready to stop thinking about my ex right now. but i don't wanna ruin my chances with this new guys.. wat do i do? PLEASE help! (link)
I'm in the same situation right now. Except for in the place of one of the boys. I think. She said her current relationship is almost over, so I think that may be what she meant. Anyway, try going out with both guys, and choose which one you prefer. Hope I helped!


I just got a mini ipod and the applecare. I was wondering how do I start? Is the applecare a cd disk and do I just register online? do I have to charge the mini ipod first? I know I'm suppose to plug the thing in the back of my computer, but where? What do I do after? What if I have songs downloaded from limewire how do I get it into the ipod? Sorry for all the questions! Please Help! (link)
First of all, the iPod came with a manual. Read it! That will answer a ton of your problems. Second, you know the CPU drive? The thing with the computer's "on" button and the D & E drives, and the floppy drive? On the back, on the bottom, there should be a few ports. One has the FireWire symbol, and one has the USB 2.0 symbol. Plug in your iPod cable to the appropriate one. And the CD, you put it in the D drive (the one on top of the front of the CPU) to install iTunes. Hope I helped, have fun with your new iPod! And also, LimeWire is illegal. Don't use LimeWire. At all. Ever. For your own sake. Use iTunes.


Today at cheer camp my coach wasnt there and one of the high school cheerleaders(theyre the instructors)told her that we was complaining and she told her we sucked and we wanted to change the cheer because we didnt want to do the tumbling in it and that we wanted to put stunts in there...but NO thats the biggest lie ever!...we were doing soo good and everyone WANTED the tumbling in there...and when our coach got the she started screaming at us and shes get ready for a hard practice at 3!!!!!...and now we're all mad and stuff bcuz we know shes gonna make us run till we puke..literally...what do we do???...plz help im sry its long!...i'll rate (link)
Oooh, that instructor just SUCKS! If I were you, I'd talk with your regular coach about it, and tell her the truth. But not just you. That's nothing. Get like 5 others to come with you. Hope I helped, good luck!


Hey guys
I was wondering if you knew any good conversation starters or something to talk about with people.. cause I hate that awkward silence.. ick.
Websites would help as well.
Thanks for your time (link)
-So, I heard the carnival's in town.
-There was this really funny website I went to today.
-Read any good books lately?
-Do you find Kazaa illegal?
-Guess what I found in my sock last night! Go ahead!
-Wanna go shoot some hoops?

And, the world famous...
-Lovely weather we're having today isn't it?

Also, there's a song by Lou & Peter Berryman, I forget the name, about small talk. You know, like in one verse, they guy is saying "Do you think it's gonna rain, that's a very nice chair, do you watch Lou Grant, are the coals ready yet, do you have your garden in, you you buy State Puff?" And it's a funny song too...


-My mother's a whore who doesn't care to sleep wit several guys within days, married or not
-My father used to serial cheat on her, ever since the first 3 days of their marriage, and now she's gettin revenge
-No one could give a shit about me, so their shipping me off to another country
-Their pretendin to care, and sayin they want me to stay, though i'm not stupid, they both want to make me suffer(if i live wit my mom, i live wit her 2 BF's, and if i live wit my dad, i live wit his GF
-I don't know anyone in the Dominican Republic, what the hell am i supposed to do there, where the hell am i supposed to go to high school, and where the hell am i supposed to live, my own family members can't decide were to put me, since none of them want me there
-There's SOOO much more pain in my life write now, there wouldn't be any space to write it
-I have a serious addiction to cutting myself, and i think i may even be developing an addiction to pills, i mean, why wouldn't i be depressed
-And i know it's not a sex question, but it's a popular topic, and i just want to know, is there anyone who cares, anyone who can help me, anyone who can tell me, why haven't i killed myself, what the hell do i have left to care for, and what in the world am i supposed to do with my piece-of-crap-for-a-life
-I've tried proffesional help and advice, it seriously doesn't work
P.S.:plz, no wiseasses, i really don't want to deal wit that right now, cuz ur not gonna get a pleasant reaction

Sincerely,
Life Falling Apart(13/f) (link)
=( This is probably the saddest story I've ever heard... I honestly don't know what to say... I just wanted to say that I'm sympathizing... Well, while I'm here, I might as well think up an answer, here's what I'd do: first, punch a pillow. Insanely hard. Repeatedly. Until the feathers come out. Then buy another pillow to repeat the same process. If the feathers won't come out, pretend it's your mom or your dad. Second of all, you should talk with your parents, try get them in one room together... and talk to them, tell them how you feel. And if you're really stuck, I swear I'm not being a wiseass, go to the local orphanage. Trust me, it'll be better than moving to a different country with nowhere to go. I really, really, REALLY hope life gets better for you. Hope I helped!


OK there's a real problem in our school and it's sorta weird. If you get called a whore, people in my school take it as a compliment. Does anyone think this is very disturbing? Oh yea, and the people in our school who are popular are the sluts and the girls and guys who drink in school. I sorta wanna know how to stop this. Thanks! (link)
Holy crap. Dissing people is gonna be kind of hard. I like how you're so against it, though, rather than drinking to become popular. Anyway, yes, it's disturbing that people like being called whores. That's just scary. As for the popular kids, I don't think I'll ever understand anyone who's popular in any school, including mine. I mean, they try to do stuff that they know they can't do for another three to five years just to show how mature they are: "Oh, look at this! I know how to drive an SUV! *crash* Sorry, Mr. Johnson!" or "Whooo... I love drinkin'... of course, I've been old enough to drink for years..." Try talking with your teachers about it. They should have authority over them. Hope I helped!


ok well my feet are shped very "dis-formed" lets say. they have webbs between them just like a duck and when i wear flip flops with all my friend i feel left out. they really make fun of me. what should i do??

signed,
duckie (link)
Sticks and stones, duckie. Sticks and stones. Trust me, I'm probably the most disformed person you'll ever meet: my shoulders are detatchable, I can turn my arms 540 degrees, I can cross my legs with both legs on top, my ears naturally stick out, I had a crowded mouth, my elbows jut out, my eyelids can flip out, I can suck in my stomach so thin that you can see my spinal cord, I can do a belly dance, I'm an outie, and I can make it look like I have no arms. But do I get teased? Nope! Ya know why? I make it into a joke. I don't just say "Aw man, look, my shoulders are detatched again!" Instead, whenever I meet someone new, I use it to break the ice: "Hey, look at this cool thing I can do!" If that doesn't work for you, sticks and stones knows all.


i know im 13 but ive been held back and now im starting middle skool. im really nervous. wut if the other kids dont like me, or if i dont fit in. wut if i get my classes mixed up and everyone makes fun of me? all u guys are in middle skool so PLEASE HELP!!! (link)
I remember my first day of middle school, it was really awesome. You've got nothin to worry about. You'll meet new friends, switch pretty much every class, and have a grade like 4 times the size of your elementary school grade. Just be cool, and have fun. Good luck!


One of my guy friends, Blake, is interested in one of my girl friends, Allie. Allie is like super mean to him and she tells everyone she doesn't like him. and Blake keeps asking me what he should do about it. I can't just say forget about her because he likes her a lot. What should I say to him? (link)
Try hooking him up with another one of your girl friends, maybe. If you have a boyfriend (I'm assuming you're a girl) then go with him and Blake and your other girl friend on a double date, that won't make it seem as awkward, and then maybe he'll start to like that girl! Hope I helped!


hi. im 13 years old and ive had a bf for 4 months. he dumped me the other day because his friends dont like me. i really like him and he likes me too. 2 minutes (literally) after he dumped me he had another gf. is he worth going back for?

P.S. ive never met his parents and hes never met mine. thanks for your help. (link)
O_O Oh damn! That is screwed up! If you've ever read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, he's sort of doing what Ron and Hermione did. Sort of. He knew his friends didn't like you, so he tried to make you jealous so that you would like him so much more, and you'd be all over him, and then his friends would see how much you like him, and they'd finally accept you. I mean, really! Two minutes? I know so many people hate this song, but I just gotta quote it: "Insane in the membraaaaaane!" 2 minutes is not natural. Definitely go back to him. Good luck!


how do i get my computer to run in safemode?
(link)
I think you do the ctrl+alt+del trick, and then shut down ---> hibernate. Or was it standby? Whatever, the easier way is, if you have a Windows, on some keyboards (like mine) there's a little moon button between F12 and Print Screen/SySRq. Hope I helped!


ok last night my bestfriend made me feel like shit. she wwas talking to me about my boyfriend and how she doesnt like him and who last time she went to the mall by him that I ditched her for him which isnt true at all she ditched me nobody told her to leave and me and my boyfriend didnt do anything she left on her own and now she said she wont take me to the mall over there to meet up with him because she doesntlike him (because he black) and because of what happened last time/ i dont know what to do. she is the only person that my momm trust to let me go to the mall with (makin sure an adult is wit us) my mom wont let em go with any of my other friends because she doesnt trust them but she also wont give them a chance to get to know them.. i love my boyfirned sooo much and the thought of not being able to ssee him just keeps hurting me more and more when i think about it.. can someone please help me out on what i should do?? and i dont know about letting him come over to meet my parents because my parents hate the idea that i like black guys... (link)
Ooh... make your parents listen to Michael Jackson's "Black or White" and they'll realize that racial differences don't matter, unless your name happens to be Albert J. Peterson from New York who thinks that Spanish is a religion. But, enough of that. You should talk with your parents. Ask them why they're so deadset against blacks. Bring him over to your house one day, they'll probably see that he's a really nice guy! Good luck, hope I helped!


Okay i have been trying to get music onto my pc,but it takes so long to download a tool to get the music.(Like kazza or limewire)I just want a website where i can download the song without downloading something else.Does anyone know a site like this? (link)
I got one word for you: ILLEGAL! You either need to find a completely legal, official site made by the singer/band/etc, or buy the CD, iTunes, etc. If you use LimeWire or Kazaa, the cops will be on you in the blink of an eye. Just go with iTunes and CDs, kay?


i always get pimples and i squeeze them and they go away... but then i get scabs on my face... those dont go away for about a week...i start school in a few weeks... can anyone suggest any good products to prevent pimples? (link)
Don't pop your pimples, man! That's why you're getting the scabs! You need to wait for it to go away on their on! As for pimple prevention, try washing your face on a daily basis. Hope I helped!
