OK, One of my friends that I go out clubbing with is starting to annoy me. He is brilliant in every way, but everytime we go into the city, we take a taxi there and back and he always finds sneaky ways of getting out of paying for them.

For example, he'll say he'll just buy me a drink (and never does) or say he'll pay for it later, or just doesnt get out money to pay. Its starting to annoy me and it angers me.

We're going out again on Saturday but I need a way to make him realise that he has to pay and I'm not willing to, without seeming too petty.

Please give me advice!!

Well you could alway's say (first look throug whatever you are carrying mony in frantically and say with a worried expression) "I must have given my last *amount of $ * to my mom Im really sorry but I cant pay this one..."

I have a friend that just came here to vacation for three months from England. I've only known him for two years, and now I feel that he's taking advantage of me, my mom and my family. I truly hate how he schedules us to go places, not regarding our time or what we have to do. And now he's brought a friend, without the superintendent's permission, but leaves the burden on us in bringing the BOTH of them around Hawaii and things. Their like staying really far from where we live, and still they ask us to drive them back to our house for meals! We are not a hotel! Okay, I'm overreacting. But the main thing is, how can I conduct myself around him without blowing up, but showing that he should be reminded of his limits? Sorry for the length, but thank you very much...

Well to do it in a casual way, just call a "family meating" and sit evry one down and lay out the rule's and consicuences, if any of the rules are broken. he should get the clue. I realy hope this help's

well my cat is scared of me everytime i come near him he'll hiss at me.i don't know what to do someone please help...
will give 5 stars...

I had a kitten that was the same way, but for one reson or a nother, she started to like me.

try giving the cat space and dont rush it. Cat's will respect you once you respect them and all there need's.

some things you could do are: giving it treats, but wait for it to come to you.
just sit near it and do a casual thing like wach t.v or reading a book. but try not to do things that are fast moving, they get scared of that.
and try not to scare it.

these thing's should adventually get you to closer, but it will take time.

I really hope this helps you out! ;)

16/f. I recently wrote a loooong thing about how my mom was making me mad. I was the one doing all the cleaning and stuff and they weren't doing anything.

Well, all week I've been doing some major cleaning (because thats all I EVER do...) and getting ready for this yard sale we're supposed to have on Saturday (which I keep thinking we're not going to have because thats how my parents are... they'll say that and then come Saturday they'll say "Oh we woke up too late" or "Lets just have it next saturday"). So I've been spending my last full week of vacation, inside, cleaning out things, etc. Today I talked to my cousin about how we were going to Disneyland Saturday night (we're passholders) after the yardsale since she was coming home after 2 weeks with her dad. Since her dad is at the half way point from our house and Disneyland, she asked if I would pick her up on the way. I said of course since it was on the way and it would be helping her dad out with gas and all. Meanwhile, I wasn't even planning on staying outside doing the yard sale since I've been getting everything ready, doing all the cleaning all by myself. I didn't think my parents would make me do the yardsale since I've been doing all that. Well, I go in the computer room (where else would my mom be?) to tell my mom how I would pick my cousin up on the way. She said "No, no, no, no... you have to help with the yard sale". I tell her how I've been cleaning and I didn't think I had to stay out there. And she said that they would need me (my mom and dad will be there, why do they absolutely need me?). Then I told her, that we were going at night anyways and she was like "Well, I don't want you to be obligated with picking your cousin up." Yardsales usually end at like 3 or 4 and I was going to pick her up around 5 or 6 and head over to Disneyland. And she was like "Call her and tell her you can't do it". I told her I didn't want to, it was pointless since I was going to anyways whether I was tired or not (she said "What if you get too tired at the yard sale?"). And she said she would call her and tell her, herself. Then she tells me, not to tell my cousin any of this... if I talked to her, don't have an attitude or anything (basically, don't tell her how you feel). She wanted to make it seem that I couldn't pick her up (I drive my own car btw...) because I was going to be too tired (which isn't likely). Well, I talked to my cousin later on and she was like "What is up with your mom? She's being stupid... I ended up getting mad at her and hanging up on her. She basically screwed up the whole situation since I already told my dad that you would pick me up, now my dad has to waste gas on taking me home and its stupid since picking me up is on the way to Disneyland.". My mom never said I COULDN'T pick her up. She just said she didn't want me telling her I can because if I 'got too tired'. So she basically called my cousin and said "No, she can't pick you up". But I'm going to do it, since I already told her (even after my mom called her) I would, because we already made plans on going to Disneyland that night of the day she came back (which would be saturday). My question is, is my mom being unfair? I've spent this entire week cleaning the entire house (and this isn't the only time, I'm supposed to clean the house every day--but this week I have to clean and clear out things for this yard sale by myself) and I make plans/ask to go to Disneyland on the same day as the yard sale (its not even the same time) or to go pick up my cousin and she's basically saying "Don't make plans on Saturday because we're having the yard sale". I'VE CLEANED THIS ENTIRE WEEK. Sure she works from 9-5 but she doesn't go to bed until 12:30 because she's on ebay. Why can't she take time off to help me clean? And then I have to help with the stupid yard sale and I just think the whole thing is unfair. And this isn't the only time she's told me to tell people certain things. Anytime I accidentally tell someone something, like "Oh yea, you can borrow it" she'll say "Just tell them that you can't find it... I didn't want to you go and lend that out, its brand new. Tell them that." So I tell my cousin "Yea, I'll pick you up on the way to Disneyland" and she says "Just tell her you can't go on Saturday, you'll be too tired after the yard sale. Nevermind, I'll tell her". I know she's my mother and I know she has a say so in what I do, but isn't that a little too much for a 16 year old? I'd never tell her "No, I'm not going to do that" or "Well, I'm going to do it anyways!" because she's my mom... but isn't she being a little ridiculous? And when I try to tell her that I start school on wednesday and I want to be able to go out, she just keeps saying "I know! Just don't make plans on Saturday". Then she gets me all worked up and I start yelling, she starts yelling and I end up going to my room crying because she won't listen to me. When I say "Excuse me?! Can I talk?!" She shuts up and looks away at the computer screen. She won't even look at me when I try to talk and get my feelings out. I don't know what to do anymore. I went to my room and wrote out a long thing about how I felt on paper, but that barely helped. I can't talk to my father, because he's always been the type who'll listen to me, but since its his wife he feels obligated to take her side. He always falls asleep after work downstairs while all of this goes on upstairs, so he has no clue whats going on, except my mom probably told him when they went out to dinner this afternoon. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have no one to talk to about all this, so I keep everything inside of me. I've tried writing my feelings down, crying it all out, punching pillows, nothing helps. When I've talked to my cousin about it, she'll back me up and then my mom gets mad at me, so she's always like "When you talk to your cousin, don't have an attitude or talk negative" blah blah blah. Her and my cousin are close (she's like a second mom to my cousin, we're all close), but she'll be on my side and back me up. Right now she's even pissed at my mom. What the hell am I supposed to do? what should I tell my mom? She never listens to me and she always shuts me off. I can't stop crying... sorry this is so long.

Well, I think you are living in an unfare anviorment, and your mom shoul get a reality check. There are teen help line's that you can call to get help from. They will help you and your mom under tand each other and could help you get a better life. And about the disney thing, I would just not tell your ma anything and go. hope this helps, :) dont forget we are all ears for your troubles, or you can come to me, cjAdvice

I love my boyfriend but lately he has been acting so possessive! He doesn't want me to hang out with my friends (though it fine for him to hang out with his). He doesn't even want me talk to them on the phone when I happen to be around him. He is starting to give me the creeps. Any advice?

Well tell him how you feel, and if he doesint back off, dump him and move on. He isint worth your time. And I mean that in a good way, sorry if it sounds harsh... hope this helps you!

im 13/m, and im from the middle east, and my family follows the religion Islam. from time to time, im not sure if i completly believe in the ways of Islam. Sometimes im positive that there can't be a God, other times it's the other way around. But besides believing in God, i also find other things i disagree with about the Islam religion. I'm starting to be interested in Buddhism, and I like how the religion is set around believing whatever you want to believe, but i don't know how to tell my parents this, being that they are kind of religious. I'm also not sure if im too young to change my choice of religion.
sorry if its long. ill rate 5's.

well I am the same way, I mean who knows if there is a god? But anyway, I would just tell your parents how you feel, and for serious. They cant choose wich path of life you go on, they can only help you reach it. I hope this helps.

I'm just scared that i'm getting myself into trouble with this stuff...does anyone have ne suggestions for me? I'm scared...i dont want to end up in the hospital b/c of this...thanks in advance!

Whenever I babysit, the parents always ask me "How much do you pay per hour?". The truth is, I don't have a rate, and they always overpay me, which I don't mind :D, but I think it's impolite to take more than 15 dollars an hour. How can I politly set a reasonable babysitting rate that isn't too much or too little?

WELL, YOU COULD AVERAGE YOUR PAYING AND MAKE THAT YOUR averagely hour pay. "(sorry about my capitol's ;) ) hope this helps

and dont feel bad for the over paying, if the people who pay you thought it was wrong, they would probibaly say somthing :D

My problem is simple. I like this one girl "Megan" a lot. And I want to ask her to the winter dance as a date. Just, I do not think we'd go as a couple, just as friends. That's set. Just, I am a soft wimpering jelly muffin when it comes to confidence. I just don't have the nerve to do it. How can I build that up?

wELL GO UP WITH A FRIEND, AND ASK HER TO GO "AS FRIEND'S" THAT GETS YOU A REALLY GOOD CHANCE.
