HAH :]

advice

i feel stupid asking this but could you tell me wut emo means

It sort of reminds me of punk and stuff except it's way more into how you feel and your emotions. It's taken from EMOtional. Sorry I'm no big help!


There are a lot of emo types of music out there nowadays. Here are some lyrics if that would help more...


"Sing me something
Soft, sad and delicate
Or loud and out of key
Sing me anything"
--Starlight Run

ok so there is this guy and i kind of know him so i one time me and my friends were out and we saw him so we stopped to talk and we talked for a while and me and him just clicked. so i told my best friend.. BAD IDEA. so she was talking to him on instant messaging and his profile was I WANT THAT GIRL _ _ _ _ _ _ and my name fit! so she was like who is it? who is it? and he is so sick of her now.. but finally he was like ok its this girl named amanda from another school. that was about 2 months ago. today she instant messaged him and was being mean and they were talking and then she was like o sorry i forgot u love amanda and he was like why do u care? and she was like guess y and he goes one of your friends like me and she was like ?who and he goes (my name)? and she goes nope (so he wouldnt know) and then he wouldnt talk! o and hes always staring at me and smiling in class so my question is do you think he might like me and should i tell him i like him or anything like that? thanx

He might like you. Tell him how you feel and wait and listen to his reaction. If he says he doesn't like you, then he's not worth it!

Hey!

I dont know if i like a person or if i dont what should i do?

Talk to him more and see how you feel about him. When you find all his little quirks and weird things that would typically bug the shit out of you, but you still think you like him, then chances are you probably do! (=

this guy i like alot is giving me really mixed signals! somedays he flirts w/ me alot. then, the next day he wont even look at me! and i really like him! And, he might like me! but this guy is really confusing!!! What do i do?

He may really like you, but he also sounds like just a big flirt! But to check this out, you should ask him why he does this! You could even make it seem like a joke when you ask him. Or you could tell him how you feel and see his reaction. But good luck!

there are 2 guys that like me and one is very outgoing but he can be rude sometimes but he loves me and then the other guy is very sweet but he is quiet. which one should i go for???

Go for the one that your personality goes with best! If you don't like quiet people, then don't choose the quiet one. If you don't like rude people, then don't choose the rude one.

Any advice on how to get a guy, cuz I'm not terribly ugly, I'm really nice, and everything i do just doesn't seem to work. What the heck am i doing wrong?

Just continue being nice and sweet. Give the guys compliments like I like your shirt and stuff like that!

i like someone and i do everything i know to get his attention. i flirt and wear cute outfits and try to stand out in the classes i have with him. what am i doing wrong? what else can i do?

Hang out with him after school. Really talk to him. Get his opinions on things. Call him. Let him know you like him. Don't just give hints, but actually make sure he knows.

my friends always make fun of me and call me a ditz i dont like it but i kinda have to deal. One of my best friends said she thinks shes only friends with me because it makes her feel smart. Should i take that personaly? How can i change i dont liek to be ditsy.

Wow I definetly feel the same way! I take it personally but I somehow brush it off. But it still hurts. To change being less ditzy, just think before you say something. If you know what you're going to say is wrong or sounds dumb, then don't say it. When you ace a test, show it off to your friends. Prove to them you're not dumb and there is so much more to you!

ok me and my ex were together for 8 months...my longest relationship. it got to the point where i could totally be myself and everything with him. our last month was aweful. he didnt call me as much, people said he was cheating on me. but whenever i asked him he said he would never do that. anyways, we broke up at the begining on this month. since then, ive gotten a new bf. ive known him for two years and a ton of girls like him and hes really popular and he really likes me. he talks about me ALL the time and hes a great bf. but lately ive been missing my ex so much it makes me cry. i wasnt really that sad after the break up (i broke up with him)...but now its hitting me. we still talk though..he said he has a new gf they got together yesertday and he asked if i wanted to double date!!!!!!! i was like wtf...that would kill me seeing him with another girl..but i just said yea anyways. well hes coming over sunday to get his stuff he left here before we broke up..i miss him so much...and when he signed off last nite he sed he loves me and he always will...im so confused...help..

i dont want him back...but then again i do...i just hate seeing him with someone else. :(

I've been here before not too long ago either..well minus the double date. If you truly care about your boyfriend, then stay with him. He might be the person to help you move on. But if you like your ex more than not liking him, then get single and tell him the truth. If it doesn't work out, then you'll eventually meet someone that will help you realize why things didn't work out. But don't double date. It'll just make yourself feel miserable!

hey i asked earlier about possible duets for dating couples for the talent show..well today everyone was like saying my boyfriend is gay because hes a good singer, and they were like, guys dont sing. only a couple people said it though. and today we went and watched the seventh grade talent show and i sat next to him and all the little seventh graders were saying it to.. well some of them. it's getting really annoying, what should i do? i mean, im not gonna break up with him because i love him but i just wanna make them stop.

There's not much you can do about this one. You're just going to have to ignore it. Probably most of the people talking are just jealous because a lot of the best singers out there are males and they're not gay. So just don't worry about it. But if it really bugs him a lot, then that's when you guys should think of something. If it's only bugging you, then don't worry about it. It's just talk. It'll blow over soon.

i have asthma and i wanna start smoking cigarettes *kinda depressed* but yah.. i don't wanna die from it lol.. but you'd think i'd be getting used to it bc my sister smokes everyday on the way to and from school.. soo ya.. would it be that big of a harm to me? if ur gonna lecture on how bad smoking is.. then dont answer

If I were you, I wouldn't start smoking. It's more harmful to you than to someone without asthma. You might want to get away from your sister when she smokes too. Second hand smoke is as worse or even more worse than actually smoking. Since you're kind of depressed, can't you turn to an alternative rather than smoking?

okay, so i have this friend, and she cuts herself. it really scares me, because one time she cut so deep that it wouldnt stop for a while. her dad abuses her, and she doesnt get along with her mom very well. her boyfriend went away for spring break and she misses him a lot. she cut herself again because she thinks her life is so fucked up, and she thinks she should die. i really want to help her, but i dont know what to do. please help!!!

Talk to her. Let her know you will always be there for her through thick and thin. All she really needs is someone to be there for her. But if doesn't work no matter how hard you try, try telling an adult who won't make such a big fuss of the situation and won't make her feel like they're ordering her around.

hey i was woundring if theyre is anythingi can do to stop popping my knuckles , its just a habbit , i dont it all the time , and what dose it to to your hands?

When you pop you r knuckles you're putting air into them which makes it bigger. I have this problem too. Everytime I get the urge to pop it, I just squirm my fingers around until the feeling goes away. Sorry it's not big help. But if someone gives you some good advice, TELL ME! (:

Hey i'm totally into this hot guy , but he dosnt even know i like him , i know he dosnt have a gf , im wonding how to get him to notice me!
thanks
emilie

Just go up and talk to him! Comment on something he has with him. Like if there's a book in his hand, ask him if it's any good. Or even if it's just a coffee from Starbucks ask him what kind it is! Or you could simply ask him for gum and start a conversation from that! Good luck!

um.. ok i go to a catholic school and i'm going through rough times. i know many of my friends who've cut themselves well i was doing my s.studies project and i was using sharp scissors and i was questioning myself if it would go through my skin b/c the last time i had i tried to cut myself it didnt work.. well this time it did. so know i have 3 cuts on my arm, i seriously regret doing it, i showed my mawmaw and im never doing it again BUT i have a passion play tommorow and i'm afraid that my religion teacher will see it.. should i be afraid or is there any tips to hide it b/c a big band-aid will be noticable. thanks for the help

Being in a Catholic school and having cuts on your arm isn't a very good mix. So I would be kind of nervous if I were you. Go to a drugstore and buy some foundation (doesn't matter if it's liquid or not) and that should cover it. Try putting some pouder over it also to make it look more natural. But not too much. And make sure to blend well. But make sure the foundation is just a tad bit darker than your skin color! But before any makeup, some medicine on it like that scar stuff. I don't know what it's called but it's yellow and white I think...

I've known this guy since like 2nd grade. He and I have been boyfriend and girlfriend off and on for about 2 years. He and i usually hook up most during the summer and not much during the school year. My friends say that we sould either stay friends or boyfriend and girlfriend. I don't really know which one i should choose. i really like him saome days and don't really talk to him others. should we be boyfriend and girlfriend or stayt friends? thanx

Keep on going with the on and off thing. Don't feel like you have to listen to your friends about this. If you don't want to be with him for a serious thing, then don't do it. But if you feel more friendly, then just be friends. But if you're caught in the middle, then do exactly what you're doing!

my boyfriend which is 16 and i am 14 we love each other a lot and care about each other but 4 the past couple of days his sister hates me because i am not a virgin and she is trying to do everything she can to break us up and i dont know what to do!! can u plz help? i will rate!! i dont want to lose him i love him with al my heart.

If you love him with all your heart, then he probably feels the same way about you! So he won't let anybody change his mind about how he feels about you! But I would try to get some dirt on her and hold it against her and see how she likes it. Good luck!!

What do you do for clammy hands?

Lotion can help with that! Carry around a small bottle in your purse or even your pocket!

Do braces affect making out in any way?

Nope. You just have to be more cuatious that you don't cut his lips or tounge or anything. But I doubt that will happen. There's only a small chance.
