OK guys.. A really cute guy likes me and invited me to go to his football game tomorrow since he's one of the starting players. I know to cheer for the team and when he does good, etc.. But I dunno if I'd be able to see him after the game. I want to see him but I don't want to wait around for him if he only wanted me to be there for support. So should I wait for him or just leave after the game ?

call him up before the game and ask if him if he wants to do anything after the game or if he wants you to wait for him, if he says he's busy then leave if not then stay.

Well I have been quite puzzled about this lately....when you're taking the pill, do you have to use a condom to help prevent pregnancy? I don't need it for STD's b/c my bf and I don't have any nor have we been with any other people ever before. So any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Female, 16

no the pill does a pretty good job of preventing pregnancy but there are rare occurences where you do get pregnant even if you are on the pill so use a condom for extra protection.

I wake up every morning at least two hours earlier than my first class. I get up, take my dog for a walk, take a shower and get ready. You would think that all of that would wake me up enough to stay awake during my classes wouldn't you?

No luck for me. My hardest class is at 9 mondays and 9:30 wednesdays - Mammalian Anatomy and Physiology- and I am constantly falling asleep durring it. I try to take notes and sit next to the open windows, but it doesn't work. Coffee never seems to help me stay awake, and it gives me an upset stomach even if it did. Does anyone know of anything else that I could do to get myself awake and alert during this class? I don't want to just get a good grade, I actually want to learn everything and remember it all for my job in the future And this means actually paying attention in class.

what time are you going to bed the night before? because if you're doing all of that end going to bed at like 4 in the morning then it wouldn't make a difference. make sure you get a good night's rest, and if that doesn't work then go to the doctors and see what they have to say.

..okay i know this is really long but i really need advice!! well this girl is one of my best friends..she tells me everything..well about a month ago she told me she was going anerexic, because she thinks shes fat! She is really skinny..!! I told her not to because she is really skinny and that is sooo unhealthy..and its stupid! She doesnt believe me whenever i say shes skinny..she just thinks im being nice whenever im really not! Everyday at lunchtime she would get a bottle of water..and if one of the teachers made her eat she would go to the bathroom and throw up! One day i followed her without her knowing. Well I didnt know what to do so I went to the guidence counsler..and told him what was going on..well he called her mom..but didnt say i said anything. i am not sure what her mom said.. so my friend found out it was me because i was the only one who she told. and i didnt know that! so she got mad at me and i appologized and we made up..and today in school she said she was doing it again?!??!?! i have talked to her a million times but its not working! i dont know what to do! i already told the consler the last time she did it..what should i do?! please help!!

go to the counselor again. your friend may end up being mad at you, but its better that you have her be mad at you then her being really sick.

ok my bf in skool told me to chose me or softball but i love him and i love to be athletic and play softball so i dont kno wut to do :-/ plz help

if he's your bf and he reallly likes you he shouldn't be making you choose. you should do whatever makes you happy, if that's being with your bf then choose him but if you really love softball then you should do that. your boyfriend should support you not make you choose between him or something you love to do.

Ok, im 7ft tall, and of course a guy. It seems like every time i approach a girl shes always so afraid of me. She never wants to talk to me and hold a convo. w/ me. When people do talk to me, they always ask how tall i am, then sit and stare. Why are girls so afraid of me? and how do you suggest i cure this problem, and maybe advise on how to keep the convo going w/o it dropping off at how big my feet are.

hey i'm tall too for a girl(5'10) so i can kinda understand. maybe the girls are intimidated by your height. To keep the convo going just try to get to know the girl by asking questions, like if she's into sports or something like that.good luck

I think you should go to the school!! just make sure you have everything planned out and everything scheduled so you'll know what you're doing and so things won't get to hectic. good luck

Ok heres the deal ...
I got a fone going in to ninth grade my moms old fone its so old it doesnt even have games( and new ones cant be downloade) but my sister just went into ninth grade and my mom said she was going to get her old phone ( tyhe one she got new when i got mine) but when we got to the verizion place ... my sister came home with a brand new camera fone!! i just bought a car and i need the hands free kit ( new your state law) but my stupid fone is so old they dont sell the kits any more!! i asked my mom if i could buy a new fone with my own money and she told me no ! Its not fair that my sister gets a new fone fully paid for but im not even allowed to buy my own !! Its not even that i want the best ... i just want something new so that i can hook it up into my car! Ive tried every thing i can think of and please dont say talk to her cause it never works !

it sounds like your an adult so i think you should just buy a new phone. If your not an adult then you should still buy the phone, so you can use it when your driving. if your mom yells at you say that you had to get a new phone because your old phone didn't have a hands free kit.

Hey, My name is Megan, and i'm 15. I've always been treated pretty bad in school. I don't think i'm fat or ugly, but everyone calls me ugly. I don't know why they would say things to hurt me, and it makes me feel bad all the time, though I try to hide it. Today at lunch, someone gave me a joke love letter of someone I know asking me to homecomming. (The one who gave me the note hates me) When I opened it, a fry with ketchup on it fell on my white skirt, and ruined it. They all laughed it up, while a friend of mine yelled at them. I don't understand why people do the things they do to me, I try to ignore them, but you know, it hurts. I just wish people at my school would treat me like a human. I'm not mean to people, i'm nice. I don't talk about people I keep to myself...what is wrong with me?

maybe because you're so nice they see you as a target to bully. you should start standing up for yourself and tell the kids to grow up and to leave you alone. there's nothing wrong with you

me and my bff sit at a table with the most 4 boring people ever!....theres one girl we r friends wit the best but she takes us as her bffs...and me and my bff like her but to us she isnt our bff's cuz we cant have a conversation wit her!!!! on the first day of skool we tried sitting wit our other friends just to get away from the table but she came over to me and said "y is lauren(myfriend(bff) sitting over there and y r u here?"(cuz we usually sit at the same lunch table)andshe seemed upset! OMG me and my bff r soo upset at the table we sit it is so boring we cant have a conversation at and we dont kno what to do! Please help me out and give me ur best advice!!!!!!!!!

try bringing up topics at the table that you all can relate too, so that will spark a conversation. if that doesn't work then maybe you should switch to another table, but you should tell the girl (that thinks your her bff) that's you wanna try to meet new people so you won't hurt her feelings

well im about to turn 14 and i have a low self esteem really low and i try to be all happy and wut not but its hard and i talked to my best friend about it and he was like totaly insoulting me and telling me im a idiot for thinking the way i do and wut not.and i dont like the way i look at all but imn thankful 4 wut i do have and im am really shy and i dont think i can go on with life like this cause all i practicly do is put myslef down and now its like part of me and im trying to lose that but its like im alwayz putting myself down for some reason and i feel like if im the worst person in the world and i dunno wut do anymore plz help!

maybe your bestfriend didn't mean to insult you but he was trying to tell you that your a good person and theres no reason to feel the way you do, but when he said it,it probaly sounded like he was attacking you. you should go to counseling or something because maybe you have depression. good luck

well, over the years i've sturrgled through school, not with friends, not with grades, not with teachers, but i get so nervous over everything. It's so stupid! I get so nervous over everything....like i'll be nervous to go to class tomorrow cuz i'll think i'll get in trouble or i think the teacher is gonna hate me!! I hate it, i've always had this thing ever since 1st grade only my mom knows about it. It's rele dump and i feel like an as*! I jus started 7th grade and i feel so stupid! i feel like a mental house, what should i do, :(

maybe you should calm down. you seem like a nice person, so you why would anyone hate you? are you nervous because you feel you have to be perfect or something? well i think you should talk to a therapist or something so they can figure out why you get so nervous

im 14..female and i weigh 124 lbs...i hav curves definatly...well im nto happy with my body..i want to be size 00 and small...all the guys like small gurls..i look like a cow in a bathing suit and am starting to get cellulate on thighs/butt...i feel fat in anything i wear now...my point is is that im thinkin about going annorexic...bc i have a really pretty face and a ugly body if i go annorexic i will be pretty...maybe not full blown annorexic..but like not alot of food...a little bites here and there...but not alot @ all...and not makeing myself throw up..just not eating....how soon do u think i will lose weight...plz dont say "dont do this blah blah" bc i just want to know how much weight do u think i will lose in 2wks? plz answer that ?!!

you really shouldn't do that. going anorexic is dangerous, and even though you don't intend to go full blown anorexic it'll probaly end up that way. oh sorry i just read the end of your question and it said don't tell you not to do that. but um, it depends on how much you'll exercise too, if you do go through with your plan. and you'll end up gaining the weight back faster. but good luck with your plan hopefully a guy is worth putting yourself through danger.

i dont have a boyfriend for my prom and i dont have any friends that are guys (or girls) to go with either ... I know its early but Im not gonna get a b/f cause i dont really want one but i want ot go to prom but nor alone!! help

ask your friends if they know anyone that's nice and that could take you. if you have a job, then ask a co-worker ( that you would want to go with) if he would like to attend the prom with you. or you could just ask a guy at your school that you may want to go with.

me and my friend are on a diet and it doesnt seem ti be working! we have tried the fruits and veggies diet but i doesnt help at all!

you need more than just fruit and veggies. are you exercising? if not then you should start. also make sure you're doing a healthy diet, just so you guys won't get sick or anything. good luck :)

ok, problem. theres this guy at my skooL.. he likes me a lot he even told me he loved me. i really like him too! i can't go out with him though.. he had sex when he was 11 and im afraid he'll want that from me and only think about sex. the thing is though i REALLY like him! i mean ive never liked anybody this much before. ive seriously thought about going out with him, even though he is considered a "nerd" but i really don't care what people think. i just dont know if i can go out with him bcuz of the whole sex thing.. what do i do? please if you could help me thatd be great =c) thanx!

i think you should go out with him and just be upfront about how you don't want to have sex.

I'm not very physcially fit, I dont exercise a lot and well i started skool few days ago and i have gym..my teacher is crazy and makes us run a lap, run up stairs, run down a hill, do 20 crunches, 10 pushups, and then do it one more time! Before that we have to run acrross the football field doing things like skipping, jumping,jogging whatever. And thats all for the warmup! is there anything i can do to less the pain i feel after we have our warmup??? my legs are so sore i can barley walk! thanks i rate!

try stretching after you do all of the warmups, maybe it will feel better. also, after a while you'll get more in shape, and there will be less pain

im 18 and my sister is 24. me and my sister dont get along much. once in awhile, were fine, but other than that, shes always screaming at me. a lot of my friends dont like her, nor does my guy. as the years gone by, ive learned to adapt to the way she treats me, but lately, it has gotten too out of hand and it makes me cry a lot. i told her plenty of times before that she hurts my feelings and shed apologize, but the next day, she still treats me like shit. i know that sisters are supposed to be there for each other through thick and thin, but its more like i have her back and she just brings me down, because basically, she does. she makes my parents go against me, which causes me more pain. what should i do? ive tried talking to her numerous times, but that doesnt ever seem to work? help.. because its literally killing me inside..

you should try family counseling, maybe that will work. and you should have a really long talk with her and ask her why she treats you the way she does, maybe she doesn't realize she's making you feel this way.
