About Krupple



I'm a logical, very conservative nice-guy. Ask me anything and I'll give you a true answer.

I'm good with family issues. I can help a lot when it comes to 'can I get pregnant or a disease doing this' type of problems.
I'm no professional, but whenever I read professional advice, I find myself reading what I would have told the questioner to do.

I'll be frank and I'll try my best to help you out. I've seen so many things in my life even at my age and I always try to give friends advice before I have to watch a bad outcome.
Those who take it are lucky. Kidding, kidding.


By the way, I've heard it all before. Incest, rape, balloon fetishes, car stuck in mud fetishes, theft, physical abuse, gun crimes, bondage, bird sodomization, furries, teddy bear pregnancy questions (more than once), you name it, I've heard it all (Watch The Aristocrats if you don't know what I mean).
Don't be embarrassed. Even if I don't approve of what you've done, I will give you my best advice.
Audies

Oh yeah, another thing.
If you send me idiotic questions about my personal life, I'm going to ignore you.
EXAMPLE: Note that this yotch doesn't even know I'm a dude.

"My boyfriends eating me out now have you ever been ate out ore sucked dick"

Don't ask questions like the one above

I just got out of a two year relationship and I have been really devastated about it. Well lately I've been hanging around my friend whose friends with a lot of guys. So I flirted with a lot of guys and I felt like one of the guys was the next guy I'd like to date. I really feel like I'm moving too fast. I keep flirting with all of these guys convincing myself that I love them at then I go home at night crying over my ex-boyfriend. I know for sure that I am not over him and that's what scares me.

I was wondering if I should be trying to hook up and date other guys in your opinions. I mean, I think in a way I do have feelings for this friend of mine, but I think another part of me is trying to escape the misery of the past boyfriend. Can anyone tell me if what I'm doing is taking things too far or give me some advice?

I'm a 15 year old female.

thank you

It'd be a good idea to wait. You don't want your old guy coming back and then have to dump the new one. Plus, it sounds like it's just too soon for any more drama.

i've been really moody about the past month or 2. does that make me bi-polar? what is bi-polar?
what is a sign of my moodyness?
help
thx in advance

Nah, moodiness doesn't mean you're bi-polar. People with bi-polar disorder go through extremely extreme ups and downs. When they're up, they'll be happier than a normal person has ever been in thiner life. So happy, that some go and spend all their money at once. And when they're down, their so depressed they think everything sucks and the world is coming to an end.

You're probably just going though mood swings. You'll leave them behind soon enough. I went through the same thing. Most people do, so you aren't alone.

ok well as you kno summers almost here and by maybe about the middle of the summer i wanna get a new 2 piece swim sute but i have to lose a little weght first.
what do i do? do i exercize go on a diet starve myself???and if you tell me to go on a diet or to exercise tell me how please.
thx in advance.

Well, starving yourself isn't the answer. When you starve yourself, you lose weight too quickly and your body releases chemicals that make you smell HORRIBLE. Oh yeah, and your body eats away your organs.

Now as far as exercise; there are sooo many diets out there, and most of them work about the same. Treadmills are bad for your knees, so I'd recommend an elliptical running machine, or a bike. Either way if you want to lose (fat) weight, it needs to be cardio exercising. Weigh lifting mostly just builds muscle.

Right now what I'm doing is going every other day on an elliptical machine. You can look them up on Google image search if you don't know what they are. It's good to do cardiovascular exercise for about 30 mins at a time.

Oh yeah, I just learned that Gatoraid is a life saver. Seriously, there was an immense difference when I worked out with and without Gatoraid. It gave me enough energy to keep going for a while.

Junk foods around the house need to go. It's always good to have healthier alternatives. If you have junk around and easily accessible, you'll pretty much find yourself eating it.

Hope this helps, good luck! I'm doing the same thing as you right now.

well its going to be a little longer than most but im 14/m and there this is a girl in my grade who i think that likes me but im not certain. Being the guy i am i thought it over when i was mowing the lawn. (yes guys think too) but there were three seprate occasions ok the first one is when she was in gym with me and she was supposed to sit behind me but one of my friends was behind her so we switched and the day after that she looked at us kinda weird like day dreaming face i wasnt sure if it was at me or my friend yeah thats the first one the second was yesterday me and some friends were just chilling in math and im the only one sitting at the table and she hurried to where i was sitting well i thought hmm maybe but than the third one was we had a fire drill today and i was at the front of the line with a friend not the same one from the first one but she comes to the front of the line with me. So for me right now im trying to put 2 and 2 together and im getting 22 not the right answer so how can i get 4? (does she like is what i mean0

If she's running to sit next to you, and leaving her friend in the line to go stand by you, there's a good chance she's interested. You might want give her some attention and ask her out, especially if she's giggly around you.

i have another cell phone question: if i did add a line for 10 dolalrs with my family, does that mean that we have the same number, or different ones. (the family plan)

You'd all have different numbers.

Dear Krupple,
I have a somewhat foolish question to ask you. I've become quite good friends with a boy (for clarity's sake "Allen")over the past two years. He was -and is- in a lot of my classes , especially science ones, and so we became lab partners.
He is sarcastic and blatanly honest which ironically are two of the things I like best about him; he is also surprisingly innovative and deep. When I first met him, I had a bit of a schoolgirl crush on him but that quickly faded and I was fine with just being friends. We have sort of an odd relationship- we can talk about anything but we never hang out just to talk. It always starts out as doing something for school and then we digress and spend hours just chatting. He recently got a girlfriend and while I really like them as a couple I keep on thinking "Why couldn't it have been me?"
I feel like such a "green eyed monster" but the truth of the matter is, whenever I picture him kissing me I get nauseous (and not in the good way). I don't think that I covet the relationship that they have now, but that I'm fixated on the fact that I simply don't appeal to him.
I feel entirely mean and shallow because the source of my discontent seems to be solely that I wish that he would think I was attractive but at the same time not ask me out. While I do appreciate him as a person, I'm not foolhardy enough to think that we could ever sustain a romantic relationship. It sickens me to think I could be so superficial.
Am I in denial about being in denial or am I simply romanticizing the cliche of "falling for my friend"?
Sincerely,
Confused and Guilty
P.S. I'm sorry for the length of the question; I guess I just needed to get the story off my chest as much as get some advice for it. Thank you so much for lending an ear.

Heya, I'm sorry it took me so long to reply.

Everybody likes to feel pretty and wanted. I think that because you use to like him and he never returned those same emotions, you felt like there was something missing. This was probably amplified when you saw him falling for another girl. I don't think it's selfish at all.

I had a girl who I liked and we were just friends, and then I got over her when I found another girl. What I'm saying is the feeling could go away eventually.

Perhaps your other fear is you'll lose him as a friend. I don't think you're romanticizing the scenario of falling for a friend at all. It seems to be a perfectly natural feeling that you're having, and it will probably go away before long.

Dear Krupple,
I feel so horrible for asking this but I need help gradually distancing myself from a friend. I first became acquainted with her earlier this year and got to know her better as time went on. I never really shared the same interests as her but you can never have too many friends and I figured that I should be as open minded as possible to give her the chance she deserved. However, as time went on I realized that we had many differences. She swears often -think Erin Brokovitch- and while I don't have a problem with the odd exclamation when someone's upset, I don't much care for it on a regular basis. Also, I found out that she broke off contact with one of my best friends some time ago in favor of someone who I'm not sure I entirely approve of. She is also staunchly set in her opinions and often monopoloizes my time; she is also not a Christian. Despite our differences, I don't want to hurt her feelings but at the same time I don't think that it is a healthy relationship for me to continue. As much of a coward as a feel for saying this, I don't think I have the courage to confront her directly- I've always been fairly soft-spoken and I'm already pretty disgusted with myself for even thinking about hurting someone. Any words of advise would be much appreciated.
Yours Truly,
Pseudonym

P.S. As uncomfortable as I am around her now, it seems that she still feels rather close to me and always wants to hang out. I feel as if it would add injury to insult to blatantly tell her that I don't feel comfortable around her anymore.

I had a best friend who was very confrontational. When he wanted to stop hanging out with me, he ignored me. It took me a year and a half to realize he was lying to me, and that's why we didn't hang out very often. It really bothered me. I'd mentally beat myself up trying to figure out if he was avoiding me.
I understand you aren't best friends or anything and it's mature of you to stop hanging out with someone because you fear they will have a negative affect on you.
Perhaps you could tell her your mom doesn't want you two to hang out anymore (I don't know how old you are). You could also tell her you need some space, and take a break from hanging with her. I understand it's hard to confront people, but if you decide to do so just tell her that you didn't want to flat out avoid her without telling her anything because you didn't want to be mean.
I think (if you have not already solved the problem) you should send her a note on AIM or an email about how things aren't going well. And better yet, summer is comming up so you should be able to stay away from her fairly easily.
Hope I've helped, I'm a bit rushed so give me some more info if you wish.
C, ya

James

well i like this boy and he liked me back well and then i was really mean to him because i was in a bad mood and i never meant all that stuff i said well i never said i hate you ore anything i just never answered him :-( well so now he just pretends i dont exsist and everytime i look at him he looks away and i really like him! so does he still like me? please i really want to know! THANKS :-)

Since you really need to know, I'll go ahead and tell you he really dislikes you.
Things could still work out, and if they do, I wouldn't advise ignoring him again. Some people, like me, really hate that.

I saw my bf at the mall with another guy kissing him! Not just kissing but making out! What should i do? Should i confront him?!
HELP me please!
Thank you soooo much

Confront him as if you just saw him doing it. Forgive him (if only inside), but never, EVER take him back.
Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Okay well me (14 f.) and my friend ( who is a guy) got in a fight and i hate it because i dont even no what were realli fighting over and its stupid and i kinda like him and he DID like me up untill his ex started liking him again. and shes one of my friends and the only person that nos i like him is my best friend. But he like hates me now and i cant even talk to him and im not sure what to do becuz i like him but even if he did like me back i dont think i could go out w/ him or anything becuz my best (guy) friend hates him. i mean he ust to be best friends w/ him and now he realli hates him. and he gets mad at me for just thinking about liking him. im so confused and i dont no what to do can anyone help me get out of this mess?

Well, you said "I kinda like him." so I have to assume you aren't just 'dying' to have him.

If he left you for your friend, she's not being a very nice friend for doing that for you, but hey, it happens.

You said the only person who knows you like him is your best friend, yet you just broke up with him, so it seems it'd be a common fact that you like him.

Your best (guy) friend will get over it if you want to go out with him. I didn't like who my best friend was dating but I 'sorta' pretended to like her as a friend while they were going out.

I'd leave him alone though. If he left you for his ex, you might want to find someone else. Things are pretty complicated and it sounds like things are over as far as he's concerned.

Not trying to get him back would clear almost everything up.
Good luck.

my parents are way too overprotected. yea everyones are, but mine take it too literally. im in 10th grade and havent done things most middle schoolers have already. ive never drank, smoked, or done anything with a guy... i dont want to drink or smoke.. but having a boyfriend would be nice. my parents only let me out of the house for school, sports, and babysitting. if i want to go somewhere else they have to have a list of names, phone numbers, addresses,... you get the point. even if its just across the street. and i have to call them every hour while im out. not that i go out alot because they dont let me and i have to fight if i really want to go. how can i gain their trust when they wont listen to me when i try to talk to them about it? ugh im just so frustrated.

I'm going to tell you the unfortunate truth, and then I'm going to tell you a few thing you could do that could go well, or could backfire.

It's sounds like you're a pretty responcible person. I think that if your parents cannot see that in you now, then they'll never be able to see it.

I guess you could have them overhear you talking (to a friend) about how they don't trust you and how you've never done anything wrong.

Also, you could fake depression. Cry, put on eye liner when you're around them, not talk much and pretend not to eat.

Find a book about how keeping kids on too short a chain can make them turn wild.

Lie and have a backup. (Risky, and can and will backfire).

Make a list of the freedoms your friends have.

I know, it sounds crazy and I'd never do these things, but I feel for you here.

So both of my grandparents died last year. Their house went to my dad and his brother. My uncle bought a few houses before and now he wants to buy a better house... but doesnt have the money so he wants it from us. We dont have that kind of money. And he's most likely gonna take us to court since he's supposed to get his half of the house blah blah..so we might have to sell our house...Is there any chance for us not to sell our house? Because if we do, we can't afford a house in this state meaning we move to up a couple of states. Yeah..I don't want to move. Can we win this and stay here? Because no one thinks so..

If your uncle and dad both own the house, it's very likely your dad will have to sell the house, (along with your uncle) and keep half of the profit.

There's no way to know for sure, but I'd be ready to move.

Good luck.

I am waaay too overweight, but I can't seem to get it off. I've tried counting calories combined with exercise, and I had to get down to 900 calories a day to lose weight, and even then it was less than a pound every two weeks.

The only thing that has every worked for me is the South Beach diet, and it worked really well. The only problem is that I kept getting really sick on it. I was dizzy, lightheaded, and nervous all the time, and I kept throwing up and having diarrhea.

I went to my doctor, but he doesn't believe me. He says that it's not possible for me to have such a hard time losing weight.

So here's my question. Can anyone tell me any medical reason that I might be having trouble losing weight? I'd like to go to the doctor with some suggestions, because maybe he's missed something. Also, can anyone suggest why I might've gotten so sick on South Beach?

And finally, has anyone had any realy success with any other diet that I might try? I don't mind dieting or exercising, so I'm open to anything that works!

Thanks in advance!

OOH! I had a friend (brace yourself for this) who had an intestinal worm. He was gaining weight because of it. When they took it out, he lost a LOT!

It's good that you're open to diet and exercising. One thing you need to do, and you probably already know this, is make sure your exercises are 'cardio' excercises.

It sounds like you are following rules really well. I respect you.

[view]


does anyone know of another site i can go to just like this except with not as many questions about losing weight?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Amen!! I don't like those people. When you tell them, "Diet, and cardio exercise," they give you negative feedback because they're pissed nobody will do something about thier weight problem.

I have a myspace and I picked a lyt and it was all good untill I decided I hated it.
I went to the section I had it, and deleted the code for it. I then put another lyt code in it's place. and on the PREVIEW it was fine and all was well.
but as soon as I hit "view my profile" it was that dreaded lyt that I hate.

anyone got any ways to fix this?

Oh! How dreadful.

k so i've had a major crush on this guy brian but his best friend davis has a crush on me and now its ruining everything... its like a competition because i'm pretty sure my crush likes me too, i wish davis didn't like me and wouldn't care about me and brian.. haha so basically i don't even know what to ask besides how do i fix the problem?

this is a really hard question i know but seriously ANY advice is worth hearing


*i'm a 15 yr old girl if that matters

I'd just tell them you don't want to break up thier friendship.
Say it in a pouty voice. You'll have plenty of time for them later on when one of them loses thier crush on you.

if love was a question would you answer it? even if it made you feel sad, or mad, or dissapointed or insecure?

No

i hate fake people. i can't stand them. my freind is kind of shy around people. but when she gets online she talks to everyone. liek to all these guys who she would NEVER talk to in person. and the only way she knows these guys are because of me. she had a myspace and talkd to all these people and acts so fake! how can i get her to stop?

I'm going to tell you the truth because I know you want to hear it.
There's no way to make her change. You'll need to stop caring, or stop hanging out with her. It's your choice.
Good luck.
