This year I wasn't doing so well in school. I failed 2 classes! My mom got sooo mad at me! So she put me in Summer School. Ughhh! I got so mad at her, I failed Summer School on purpose because I was so angry I had to do it. 3 days ago my mom got my Summer School Report Card. I'm grounded for the rest of the summer. I can do stuff still, but no sleepovers. But then I told my mom Summer School was hard for me. So, now I'm not grounded. But now I feel like I'm on the spot.. and I regret what I did. What should I do?? =/

You knew it wasn't the smartest thing to do. Your mom didn't want you to go to summer school just because she wants you to suffer. Failing two classes is pretty serious. You should at least pass the classes with a D. Failing summer school of course disappointed your mom, but you know what? You hurt yourself more. When are you going to retake those two failed classes? What if you fail more classes? They are going to start piling up. And I'm pretty sure you want to end school well, not having to make up classes because you decided not to before.
I think you should do the right thing and tell your mom the truth. I'm pretty sure she might give you punishment and push you harder next time, but I think it's for the best. Maybe next time you'll pass your classes. Just remember, failing on purpose will only lead to more complications later on.
Ok, me and this girl have been talkin' 4 a while now (for like 6 months). We were just friends at first but I've always liked her. She's been in really bad relationships and thinks men are dogs and will treat her like dirt. I really like her though and I wouldn't do anything like that. I like her too much. Plus I'm not even that kinda guy. I wanna love her and show her trust, honesty, and loyalty. She's been so hurt that she can't see that I wouldn't do that to her. I wanna be with her; she is the most incredible girl I've ever met. On top of that I think I like her so much it might be turning into Love. I need some GOOD advice. Help!
P.S. I'll rate high.
Patience is the keyword! Even if it might take a while, she's worth it right? Have you told her how you felt? If you tell her I'm sure she'll at least TRY to understand. You can show her you respect her and really like her by just being there for her. Support her. Call her, email her. Walk her to class. Help her with homework. If she isn't ready to trust a guy, bring along a friend of hers. At least then she won't feel uncomfortable, but you can still spend time with her and show her you are a nice guy. You can even talk to her parents and get them to like you. If they trust you, I'm sure it will be easier for her to trust you too. Good luck! Treat her well!

Okay so Im only 14, but i really feel like I'm in love for the first time and i want to know if thats stupid for me to be "in love" at such a young age or if its normal?... please help me
I just answered a similar question. If you'd like to read it, click this link:
http://advicenators.com/qview.php?q=354561
Alright, so, as it's probably helpful to know a little info about me, I'm 16, female. And I'm in love, I know it, I can feel it's true just as surely as I know that 2 x 2 = 4. I find myself having a whole new perspective, a whole new outlook, on life. I realize that whatever happens, it's going to be alright, because I'll have someone there by my side who I can trust with anyone, and we can be there for eachother through whatever happens. (btw, Thanks to anyone who answered my previous question, the answers have helped me realize that going to seperate colleges, while tough, is something we can handle.) Now, I know he loves me, and he talks as though whatever happens, we'll always be there for eachother, but am I doing the right thing? I mean, there doesn't seem to be a doubt in my mind about this, or him, or whether this is the real deal. But I feel like I should just step back and take one more look, I mean, I'm 16, and this isn't something that usually happens at this age. Any thoughts?
This is my opinion on love, if it helps at all:
No one can ever describe love "correctly" or "incorrectly". This is because every person has a different definition of "love". "Love" has many different degrees. It depends on how strong you believe in the word.
Loving someone can mean ANYTHING. You can love someone romantically, or you can love someone as a friend, or as a role model, or as a family member, etc. When you're "in love" it does depend on how you're using it. If you say you love your mom, or family members, of course you're "in love". But most commonly, "in love" is only used for a "lover" or someone you're having a "relationship" with.
Love is when you love that person no matter what. You can't suddenly "fall out of love" with that person. You shouldn't just like this person just because of their looks or something superficial.
This person does NOT make you insecure or self-conscious, they should make you LESS insecure and self-conscious. They should make you feel GOOD about yourself. Not only this, but you should do the SAME for them as well. It's a you-get- and you-give- relationship.
Think about WHY you love this person. Are they good reasons? It helps to look into the future. Is this guy HUSBAND material? If the answer is no, don't bother wasting your time on someone you can't see yourself with.
----
I feel the same. And I'm younger, I turn sixteen this December. I feel like I LOVE this guy, and no matter what happens (even if we broke up) I feel I will always love him. I love life now. I feel differently about love and dating. I've even been helping people figure out what love really is. And sometimes I think to myself, maybe I should slow down because I'm still very young and what if this ends in heart break? But I'm past that now because I realized that no matter what I will never regret loving him. He's changed my life. Whether it works out or not, I will always be glad this happened and I will have come out of it as a different person with new experiences. That's important isn't it?
Why is it that our culture always favors big, wide Caucasian eyes?
I've been insulted about my eyes before. It doesn't bother me though because I know everyone is different and how are bigger eyes more beautiful? It's like saying bigger butts or bigger boobs or bigger hair is more beautiful. Everyone's different, big or small, it doesn't matter.
As for your question WHY, we're the minority. Well, not where I live anymore lol, but yeah. They used to treat Asians and other races badly when they first came here (And I'm assuming you live in the USA) and since racism isn't over (obviously) it's not surprising people can still be discriminating.
Everyone's beautiful, having smaller or bigger eyes doesn't mean your vision will be better or worse.
okayy well this kid i like nick has asked me out 2 now.. but i kinda keep saying maybe. i say maybe because i wanna get to know him more. we met about 4 months ago.. and we connected on a boy friend girl friend relationship right away. sometimes i wish we were just friends for a while.. and THEN we started liking eachother.. but anyway. ive gotton to know him more.. and i like him so much.. i dunno how to let him know.. do i just come out and say " nick im ready to go out with you! " or just wait around n see if he asks me again? ahh id feel stupid if i just came out n said it.. i know he still likes me.. but i dunno how to get him to ask me again because i think hes afraid im gunna regect him..any ideas or suggestions?? =(
If you truely like him it shouldn't be hard to talk to him, just remember that. Don't rely on guys to ask you out. I think they would be much happier if more girls were dominant. You said it yourself, you don't think he's going to ask you, so do it yourself. He's already asked you out, it's your turn now. Do him a favor. What's so embarrassing about it? Just tell him you preferred to be friends first, and now that you're ready you'd like to try out a relationship with him because you really like him. Easy as one, two, three ;)
Okay, im really like overwhelmed. Like 5 guys always iM me and are like would u fuck me? and, there really nice people but like to joke around with me, and they say there jus messin with me. but its hard bc all the guys are all really hott. but it gets really annoying bc now i dont know who to trust. ive been in relationships where ive been cheated on, and theres rumours going around about me having sex with diff people. one of my guy friends said he heard im "loose " an that it seems like i have sex alot which isnt the case at all. i jus feel like giving up on guys all together and jus...be lonely the rest of my life.....any advice on what to do?
Just save yourself for someone that will respect you and vice versa. And be sure about it too. Don't have any doubts. If you have doubts, don't get too close until you find out. Don't settle for anyone that's just hot. Look deeper. If you follow that rule, you'll save yourself some heartbreak and rumors. No, you don't have to be lonely for the rest of your life. It's your decision.
Hi. im not writing this question for people to tell me im unique and crap, but lately, ive just been feeling bad. I think im ugly. People always tell me that im ugly. its just my face..i mean my nose is just so weird that i feel so self conscious and whenever im with my friends it hurts me so much always seeing guys all flirting with them and stuff. ive never been asked out, and people always tell me that im ugly. i know its mean, and only sometimes i feel pretty. i know that if i feel beautiful, i am beautiful, and being confident is bueatiful, but i dont want that crap. i need some way to make me feel better about myself....any suggestions?
I don't have any specific advice to make you feel better about yourself, but I wrote this to someone that had the same problem and maybe it will help you...
DON'T listen to any of the people that say you should cover yourself up with make-up! I mean, you COULD if you wanted to, but is this truely how you want to be? Cover yourself with make-up just so you could blend in with the crowd? Lure in a guy just because he likes your mask? When happens when people see the real you? Will they love you for you or will they immediately dump you? Those are some questions you need to think about. In fact, you yourself said you want to learn how to like yoursel the way you are. So stick with that.
When I looked in the mirror I used to think I was ugly! Which is what EVERYONE (There are exceptions) thinks about themselves! Even the most beautiful girls can think they're ugly. Take models for example. They're gorgeous, but if their chin looks a little fat in one picture they call themselves ugly and become anorexic. Not a good thing. It's all in the MIND.
It's not our fault, I'll tell you that. It's the media. They have influenced everyone. They've gotten everyone to buy their products. They set the standards for beauty, which no one can achieve. The models in pictures aren't even that beautiful, they use the computer to make them PERFECT. The media doesn't care about us! They care about making money.
It's also genetics. We are born the way we are and look the way we do because of our parents. Now, don't go blaming your parents or ancestors. Our genes are what makes each and every one of us different. They make us unique!
So you need to remember that it is not YOU that is ugly. NO ONE is ugly. The word UGLY is all in the MIND. It's an OPINION. Opinions are set by the media. So you see, it's not your fault. You need to learn to love the way you are. Focus on your good points. DO IT. Even if it's just one thing a day, like "My nose is nice." ANYTHING. Every day, do it in front of the mirror. And don't just focus on your looks. Look INSIDE of you and tell yourself what's good. Don't ever put yourself down. You are beautiful and wonderful. This world isn't perfect, and no one can be. But the least you can do is learn to love yourself for who you are. You can't love someone else if you can't even love yourself.

Alright, i feel silly asking this question but sometimes i feel weird that my boyfriend is a bit shorter then me. I love him very much and he loves me back even more and a feel like this could last for a long time. Should i talk to him about this (but i guess its not like this is going to change it) or what should i do? Am i stupid for feeling like this?
It's okay to be a little embarrassed your boyfriend is a little shorter than you. It's natural because most guys are talling than girls. But don't let that ruin a wonderful relationship! I don't suggest you tell him because it's not like there's a magical pill that will make him grow 5 inches in a week. Just remember to only talk to your boyfriend about things that you guys can actually work out. Otherwise it would just make the matter worse.

My next door neighbor is this beautiful, green eyed angel to me. We spend all our time together, late nights till 5 and 6 in the morning just cutting up and looking at the stars. We share everything in common, even the lil things we love each other for. Ive known her about 4 months now and we have gotten very close, romantic settings, kissing hugging etc. Now heres the punch line .. shes 24 and married and she has her own kid.
I mean ive raised kids all my life and this is no big deal to me but I dunno what to do .. leave her to her life or start a relationship when shes divorced
That's a horrible punch line. It's sickening. Sorry for being brutally honest, but you need to realize she is married and her little child is looking up to her parents.
I suggest you move on. By having this relationship with her you are being unfair to everyone, including yourself, her, her husband, and her child!
Only one person deserves your love. Likewise for the 24 year old wife. If she has done this behind her husband's back, what makes you think she won't be able to do it to you? I know, sounds heartless, but just remember that once someone has done something bad they are always capable of doing it again.
You are only eighteen. You have your whole life ahead of you. Do you really want to break up a family? Even if she got divorced, are you really ready for marriage and a child? A child that isn't even yours? Think about others, not just your own feelings. Her husband is going to be CRUSHED. Put yourself in his shoes. Wouldn't you LOVE to kill the guy that your wife is cheating on you with? Her child is going to have SO much emotional damage. Do you really think they deserve that just because you like some older woman? That's absolutely horrible.
I can't make you do anything, but I do hope you do the right thing.
My boyfriend and I are having a debate about whether or not sperm is still active when it hits the air. Sometimes after we have sex (we use a condum) sperm will be on me or him and he worries that it will travel into my vagina and make me pregnant. I've always heard that once sperm hits the air it's dead. Who's right?
He's right. It's not dead right away. Sperm are very determined little guys. If they are near your vagina, they CAN swim inside and you CAN get pregnant. Ever heard of sperm donations? If sperm died right away, why do we have sperm donations for couples?
This question has already been answered. Read this:

This previous year I was new to a school and made friends with all seniors. Now, that im a senior and they all graduated, i dont know ONE person. I'm not exactly good at making friends, i was lucky enough to meet them last year. (People at my school have already formed their cliques and dont really accept anyone.) I used to be extremely outgoing and have tons of friends at my old school, but im a completely different person now that im in an unfamiliar place. So now that school is coming up, im not sure what to do the first couple weeks of school. I know it'll take time before i make friends, because thats just me. So in the meantime, do I just sit by myself during lunch and hope that someone will come up to me? I'd rather be the one to go out and make friends, but it wont happen. Also, if you saw someone sitting by themself would you honestly go up to them? Any advice?
I don't suggest you sit by yourself during lunch, hoping someone will talk to you. Maybe for the first few days, but not for weeks. If you saw someone sitting by themselves, it depends. If I think I'll like them I'd definitely talk to them. But if it someone that wouldn't seem to click with me I wouldn't go up to them right away. I suggest you do the same.
Just keep your ears and eyes open to be able to see what kind of person everyone is and what kind of group they're hanging out with. Once you think you've found a group you'd like to be a part of, I'd just ask if you could sit with them since you're new and that'd be cool if you could get to know them better. And from then on it should get a little easier.
Join some clubs and see if you can connect with any of the members. Even if you don't make friends from the clubs (But you probably will) at least you'll have somewhere to go while you're trying to make friends.
It wouldn't hurt to get "study buddies" either. Maybe you can get their number, sn, email etc and hopefully you can eventually make friends with them that way.
Good luck!
what are some really good popup blockers that are for free and work real good.. there are ALOT of popups on my computer
You could try out the Maxthon browser. Here's the link:
http://maxthon.com
I use it and I love it. It's basically the same as Internet Explorer, but it has some really nice features, including a popup blocker.
Or you could download the google toolbar. You can find the site here:

Or you can download a different browser called FireFox. Not all sites work on FireFox.

my b/f called while me and my fam were away this weekend. he left a message it said stuff like, "i miss u so much, i lve u babe, we have to get together and do it again some time." i was so embarressed than i listen to it again it didn't sound like him. I never "did" anything with him. he kissed me like once but that was it. i know i should call but i don't want to cause i'm waaaaaaaaaaaaay to shy. somebody please!. i'm soooooo upset cause it might have been a prank call, my parents are freaking out, i'm freaking out and i've goptten myself soooo upset i've throwen up. I have no way to trase the call cause my grandma called after. I'M ONLY 13! my parents won't even LET me date yet!please some one.
I absolutely do not understand. Why? Because the title of your question is:
"i hate having a b/f"
If you HATE having a boyfriend then dump him already! You answered your own question. And after you dump him tell your parents.
All your boyfriend said you have to get together and do it again sometime. That doesn't have to mean anything! It could just mean you guys went out and he thought it was nice so he wants to do that again. He sounds like a nice boyfriend, but obviously you aren't giving him any slack. So break up with him.
I am 13 and I'm a female. A few of my guy friends seem to act real nice around me, but when they're around each other, they say bad things about me. I'd like to know if I can trust them.
Obviously you've answered your own question. You probably shouldn't trust them. When people act one way and act another in front of other people it's not very trustworthy or genuine.
What is this "&hearts" thing everyone is saying? Is it from a movie or did one person just say it so now every other stupid girl has to go along and say it to.
Yeah, it's supposed to show up as a little black heart. I don't know why people don't realize HTML isn't working anymore. You would think by now they would see their little hearts don't even show up. Just so you know, I didn't use that code to make this: ♥
I just got back from a two 1/2 week vacation to california. Me and my best friend hung out so much before I left. When I got home I called her immeaditly and she was like Hi. I told her i wus home and i missed her and she said Uh-Huh. *not in a sarcastic way* Shes busy hangin out with all of her other friends right now, i dont mind that she hangs out with them, but Ive been home for a week and she never calls me or anything and she didnt act like she cared I came home! Whats going on?
Well there are two perspectives:
1) Well, why didn't YOU call her and ask her if she wanted to hang out? You said she's been hanging out with HER OTHER friends. That's understandable. Maybe her other friends have been calling her and actually asking her to go out. Maybe if you actually planned things with her you'd actually be going out too.
1) Sounds like she doesn't really care whether you've been back or not.
The best thing to do is to talk to her. Tell her you don't care if the truth hurts you, but you just want to know the truth. If she makes an effort to include you in her parties and hang outs more you'll know she's trying. If she doesn't really do anything you'll know she's not trying too hard. If that's the case just dump her. You don't need friends that treat you horribly.
