My daughter was dating a guy & had 2 best friends (sisters). The bf wanted to spend time with her as well as the friends. They tried hanging out together but the friends & bf didn't like each other. It became very stressful for her to manage her time with each group. Every time she turned around someone was mad because they felt like she was ditching them. All of the relations ended when the bf cheated with 1 of the friends.
She now has a new good friend & a new bf. She hangs with the bf about 3 times a week & usually for a few hours. Her friends is now mad cuz she feels replaced. Although in the last week my daughter has asked her to hangout 3 times but was turned down. Now the new friend is suddenly friendly with the ex-friends. Which is very hurtful considering she know what they did to her.  Is this normal? I just don't get it. I don't know how to help her. She has been very hurt.  (link)
I wouldn't necessarily call her situation normal as teenagers can be unpredictable. The new friend probably feels neglected. Although, she has every right to be "friendly" with anybody she wants to. Your daughter needs to talk this friend and work things out. Also, make sure you daughter knows that you are there for her and that you support her. Teenage girls need mothers there for the shoulder to cry on and the ears to listen when they vent. So basically just be a good listener and try to be positive around her. I hope this helped :)


Im a girl and My boyfriend recently broke up with me, we had been dating for over 6 months and i thought everything was fine. I love him so much now I can't do anything right I miss him so much. He said that he just didn't feel like we were together anymore but that he still loved me. We never had problem seeing each other I always showed him how much I loved him. I just don't know how to get over him. It's been affecting everything I do I feel alone , I can't draw, act , study, I can't do anything right and I'm starting to get frustrated more than sad. I feel hopeless what do I do ? (link)
Try to distract yourself. You could go out with some of your friends. I'm sure they understand what you are going through and will be able to help you the most. Also, you could try pampering yourself at home. Treat yourself to a relaxing day and forget about everything else. I hope this helped :)


Well I can't ever get to sleep at night. I lay awake till about 2 or 3 in the morning and have to get up and 6.. I am exhausted when i get to school and all i want to do is sleep... Any advice as to how to go to sleep and STAY asleep without using medicines.!? (link)
Try to wind down about 30 minutes before you go to sleep. Basically, no electronics and only do stuff that could calm you down like reading. Also, don;t stress yourself out. I found that I sleep better when I worry less. I hope this helped :)


i would like to know wut to do (link)
It is completely your choice. If you don't feel comfortable with it then tell him. The only thing is it might bring problems in your relationship. Hope this helped :)


I'm 12 years old and I really want a facebook so I can socialize with friends and see pics of my friends I no longer get to see since they live somewhere else. They say they dont want me to have a facebook but for no good reson. How can I convince them to let me getba facebook what are some good things about it and what can i say to them that will let me get a facebook. I really want one! ALL my friends have it. I need help. Tthanks I rate 5s (link)
You are still young and your parents are just trying to protect you. Facebook puts yourself and your information out there not only to your friends, but also people you don't know. There are some people on Facebook that will lie about themselves and try to get you to meet them or get more of your information. They might say it's a friend of yours, but it isn't always who you think it is. Even if you are responsible with it, at your age many parents are reluctant to let their child have a Facebook. I'm older than you and in high school and my parents still won't let me have a Facebook, but I know and understand why. Wait a few years and show that your are responsible and they might say yes.


I am 13 and female and I used to get these dull pains in the left side of my head a little above my ear and the pain would last for a minute or two. They stopped for about a month. Then a couple of days ago they started again. I told my mom but she isn't going to bring me to the doctor. She would do anything except that. The aches are worse than last time and I'm worried about what it might be. I odn't have any other symptoms than that and if you can help me, I would much appreciate it. Thanks :) (link)
I get headaches like that too. Aside from dehydration, headaches can be caused by allergies or lack of sleep. People on the website cannot diagnose anything, as we are not qualified to do so. You need to tell your mom to take you to the doctor. It is really important that a doctor makes a diagnosis so they can help you.


When I read your words re suicidal thoughts I thought it could have been something I wrote... including the reason why you didn't do it. Because it would hurt ppl too much. Lately I think they would understand. I am not depressed. I don't feel like I don't belong. I just feel like I have had all that this life has to offer. I am tired & ready to move on. (link)
To me, suicide is wrong. It is a solution that isn't the way to go. People who lose family or friends to suicide don't understand why that person chose to end their life. Even if people feel depressed or that life no longer has anything to offer. Well it does, you just have to find the beautiful and inspirational parts of life. I feel the same way sometimes, but I remember what I love so much about everything and what makes me happy. Regain your motivation. Life is so short, in the long run, suicide makes it shorter and more painful. Everybody will die eventually, you have to enjoy the time you have with everybody instead of cutting it short. Suicide is NOT the way to go.


Ok,
so i am a 13 year old girl and this guy I THINK likes me he texts me and says stuff like hey cutie patootie (link)
Basically anything...
Like school, what you did that day, what you're doing now, any interesting things to keep him involved. If he likes you, then he won't mind what y'all are talking about. You could try to throw in some jokes, teasing, and emoticons. I hope this helped :)


Ok, so say your boyfriend wants you to suck his dick, and you kinda want to. but your only 12. what should you do? is it bad if a 12 year old does that or a handjob? (link)
I agree completely with the user below me. You are way too young to even be thinking about sexual stuff. If you let your bf (who is also too young) pressure you like that and you do it, one thing will lead to another. Next thing you know, you could end up pregnant. You are not ready for it physically or mentally. Don't do something you will regret later in life.


me and my (ex) bf just broke up. we both didnt necessarily want to. feelings are still there but hes in college and rushing for a frat. i know after hes done there will be a lot of temptation to get back together. that will be in about 2 months. do you think i should? also, do you think i should get with other guys, or will it mess things up for the future. were still in love (link)
From what it sounds like, you two seem to be on a "break". If you still love him, then wait those two months and see what happens. As for getting with other guys, only if you really like them because it could cause problems if you do want to get back together with your ex in 2 months. I hope this helped and good luck :)


I'm 18. I'm a female. I need some NEW music to clean my room to. I'm used to Owl City, Jason Marz, Rihanna, the Beatles, anything popular... Just list some stuff you think I'd like or just some stuff you love! I'm open to anything. (link)
I love listening to Maroon 5, Eminem, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and Adele in addition to some of the ones you named. If you have a local radio station, when you listen online, you can search for different songs and get radio stations from all over the world that would have music that you like (unfortunately not all work in the US) so you get more variety. I hope this helped :)


so i'm 18 years old (female) and i've noticed for a while that i'm finding alot of girls really attractive and sometimes sexually attractive. I've never kissed a girl or anything of that sort just guys, and well how do u know if you're bisexual? Someone once told me it could just be my hormones or i just look at other girls and compare them to me and admire them, but i'm not too sure (link)
Right now, you are developing your sexual identity. Curiosity and experimenting with girls and guys are completely normal.


what is the layout for a biology school based assesment?




(link)
If I understand correctly what you are asking, it varies depending on who makes the assessment. Many of the biology assessments that I have taken before at school have been very difficult, very detailed and tricky multiple choice questions, with some short answers. It includes pictures (graphs and diagrams). I hope this helped :)


15/m

For quite a long while I have been mopey and unhappy and my head full of suicidal thoughts, and this is making life a sluggish pain for me nowadays and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good tactics to get ones self motivated to do homework and whatnot. Please I do not need a schpeal about "Don't commit suicide it's the wrong way to go" I know this and I guess im lucky that I'm too much of a pussy to do it anyways.


I am a questioner and a heavy thinker (yes thinker not drinker) if that helps any. (link)
I completely understand how you feel! Occasionally, when I lose motivation for things, I remind myself of the future that I'm trying to build for myself. Because you don't become successful unless you work hard. You have to be hard on yourself and think about your future.
I also do other things that I enjoy besides working all the time. For you, this could be school clubs, hanging out with friends, etc; basically any stress reliever that would work for you.
And lastly, reward yourself. Being motivated isn't easy. When I set goals, I make them realistic and add in a few rewards in between to refuel that motivation.
I tried to make this kinda short. If you still have any questions or need more help, don't hesitate to ask! I hope this helped and good luck with everything :)


I am 9 and want to know if there are any good shows like American Idol for kids (link)
X factor
The voice


I physically feel an ache in my chest and a burning in the pit of my stomach, accompanied by nausea. I feel jittery (probably from lack of sleep.) I haven't been sleeping well, infact from friday night to last night Ive only had 2 hours of sleep. I'm having a bit of a nervous breakdown do to, having to explain to a unknown person on the bus about what gender I am and in their words, "why I go to extreme lengths to make it difficult to read." That bothered me the most, then I was called out to be a liar and mentally ill, as well as homosexual. Which are in no way remotely tied to the reasons I dress androgynous. I accept the fact that God made me as the sex he intended to. Is it so wrong to want to view myself as either male or female? I just feel like I'm the child that was caught playing with the wrong gender inrolled toy, and yelled at to reinforce the roles I need to take up on as being born of that gender. Now I don't want to leave my home. I feel like all eyes are on me, and like they all for some reason are either 1 disgusted or 2 dissaprove. Please, any "possitive" advice welcomed. I feel pretty jaded from everything, and it seems like I just worked up the courage to feel comfortable in my own skin and finally be able to dress how I want, but now in a fracture of a second it just all seized to exist...

I know this is really hard, but ignore those jerks. If you ignore them, eventually it will stop. Also, most judgmental people are insecure about themselves and just try to take it out on others. They cover their imperfections by pointing out others. Who cares about what all these other people think? You certainly shouldn't. Being able to ignore them will only make you a stronger person. As long as you are happy with the way you are, NOBODY ELSE'S OPINION MATTERS. God made you the way you are, unique and beautiful in ways that other people aren't. Find that courage you had that made you feel comfortable about yourself and use that to boost your confidence. It will be so much harder for people to bother you if you walk around with your head held high with confidence in yourself. Here's a quote by Christopher Morley that you should remember: "There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way." To me, this means not letting other people get in the way of your happiness and success. I really hope this helped and made you feel better :)


Hi,

I have a MAJOR headache right now and I have to read this book for tomorrow, and I'm going over to a friend's house later, so I can't read there. I need to read 50 pages and it takes me about 1 minute to read a page if I'm very concentrated, which will be very hard for me now. I want to wait until I get at least a little bit better.

I want to know if anyone has a home remedy for headaches? Anything but pills, PLEASE. also, does it make it worse if you read while you have a headache? It's very hard for me to type this right now, but I had to give you all the details that you might need.

Anything you do, please don't tell me to drink pills because I don't like to swallow pills.

Thank You for answering in advance! (link)
Remedies for headaches will vary on the cause of the headache. Some normal causes are lack of sleep, stress, allergies, getting sick, etc. Generally what I do to help with my headaches is to take pain killer (some brands have liquid medicine for kiddos or anybody who doesn't like taking pills) and sleep it off with a few hour nap. Make sure your environment around you is quiet and try to refrain from reading because that can make it soooo much more worse. Also, you could try taking a wash cloth and getting it damp with warm water and laying it on your forehead. I hope this helped and good luck :)


Ok so heres the situation,
i am a 13 year old girl in 8th grade. i have a ton of friends and guys flirt with me ALOT but i have never had a boyfriend. i mean i can easily find flaws in myself so r these flaws y i dont get asked out alot? :( (link)
Not necessarily, not all guys care about appearance. I don't think you need to worry about it right now. Just be friendly and be yourself and that's all you can do.


How do you get a boy to like you im 13 /: (link)
You can't really force a guy to like you. Although, if you are interested in him, just try talking to him and being friendly. Get to know him and if it's meant to be, then it'll happen. I hope this helped and good luck :)


Ok so I'm in 5th grade (which your prob wondering to young for arelationship but I do have a Facebook) so like 5 people asked me out and two of them have a Facebook so I don't like any of them but one but I never said yes I would go out with him cuz it was a text so instead of telling the other people no I didn't answer I tried to hide my relationship status but they keep texting me on fb and I don't wanna say no and I don't wanna say yes I like the other dude (and please don't say I'm to young thereisalot of people my age with boyfriends) please help!!!!!!!!!!
(link)
First off, just because you have a facebook and other people your age are dating doesn't make it okay. And if you don't like any of the guys that asked you out, then say no. If you do like them, say yes. It's as easy as that. It's not right to keep them waiting for an answer. There's really no need to make such a big deal about it all.
