Q: Okay, so recently I started a relationship with this guy that I like a lot. Everything is going great and he calls me all the time, but there is one problem. My best friend seems jealous. He's like a brother to her so she isn't jealous of me, she's jealous of him. Everytime he calls, I can't give him my undivided attention because she acts hurt if I don't talk to her at the same time. However, then they are both talking at the same time and I can't understand either of them. I tried speakerphone, but he hates it because of the background noise. And he is getting frustrated because I always have to ask him to repeat himself. I live with my best friend and I spend time with her all the time so I don't know why she is competing with him. I just can't take it anymore. It is too much work. What should I do?
One word-Comunication
Tell her how you feel, if she doesn't understand, use a little more force...not as in punch her or something, but kind of yell or something like that. The first time you talk to her, though, say it nicely, don't like scream. Explain what you just explained on here. She should understand if she is your friend. Even though you spend a lot of time with her, she probably thinks that if she doesn't do that that you won't hang with her as much. Ask her why she does that, then once she tells you, compromise with her and dicide with something that both of you can do together every other weekend or something, and then your boyfriend gets the other weekend, or something like that...

Q: okay this probably wont make sense but ill try. I can never get a bf at my school ive only had one bf that actually went to school with me and he was really the only true one i had. Its like guys dont like me at school but guys outside of school are always hittin on me nd stuff.. mainly older guys it annoys me cuz i really want a guy inside skool i like some but they only see me as a friend. whats wrong? i dont think im like hideous or anything im actually pretty cute from wut im told so whats wrong?
You know, you are doing the oposite of what you should be doing...you should be asking what's wrong with all of the boys. Nothing is wrong with you. You are who you are, and if they don't like it they can stuff it. You shouldn't need to change to suit someone else's thoughts and feelings. Be yourself, and that Mr.Right will find you when the time is right. Don't ever think that anything is wrong. Besides, maybe a lot of the guys do like you and are just too scared to ask you out, ever thought of that? Don't let it get to your head. I hope that I helped and remember,my inbox is always open.

Q: so i broke up with me bf (of 2 months) about a week ago. We still talk everyday he's my bestfriend. the reason i called it off was because i would think about other guys, and i was confised so i broke up with him. BIG mistake i miss himm soo much . . .he is now going out with someone else and it is truley killing me i love him soo much and i know he still loves me beacasue he was talking to my sister and shes like you really like her dont you and he like no . . i love her. he tells me that we'll get back together soon, but its just killing me i let him go, like i cant even eat and im just o depressed. what should i do?

thanks in advance!
Well, for one...you broke up with him, you still love him, he still loves you, and he said that you will be together soon...What is the question? It sounds like you have this one all under controll. If you are worried about the looking at other guys thing, don't. It is a reflex that will not go away. No matter who you are with. All girls (or guys) look at someone else when they are in a relationship, it isn't like you are cheating on him by looking at them! Don't let your conceince get too full of itself. Don't worry, if you two are ment for eachother, it will all work out! I hope I helped (with whatever problem you had) and if I didn't tell me! You should remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice. Thanks!

Q: ok...so me and this guy lets call him "bob" were going out, and i broke it off..but i stil liked him.. so anyway we started talking and we immediatley started flirting, and welll i just didnt want a boyfriend. so we would just sit there and talk about stuff, and then one day, me and my friend lets call her "sally".me and my friend sally want to play a prank on him. so we do, and he gets mad at sally..but doesnt get mad at me.. (hes dated sally before) and then the next day, me and bob talk it out and he asks why i dont want a boyfriend and i tel him cause im scared someone will hurt me...but i mean i really love bob.so i decided ok i'll go out with him.. he said he loved me and i believed him and i loved him...so he asked me out and i said yes,,and then everythign was going really great, but we didnt see each other that often cuz we went to different schools..and then he sent me an email saying that he just wanted to be friends,..and i was bummed out..like literally cause he promised he wouldnt hurt me..and then not even a week later hes going out with sally...and i love bob, i really do, but he doesnt know it...so how can i make him see that sally will never love him as much as i will, and that i will do anything for him..and that i want him back


by the way im 13/f... and ill rate huge. plz help.
Okay, there sounds like there is a problem here. Not just the one you are asking about but something else...why do you still love him...just wondering. I mean he lied to you, left you for someone else, not to mension she was your friend...anyway. I think that you shouldn't go after him. Your heart is telling you that you still love him, but chances are that you really don't. Your heart is in shock, and I mean it litteraly. You don't know what to do, so your heart thinks that maybe if you get back together with him that everything will be okay, but your heart is leying! You need to take some time to think about this. He just wants to be friends;1 strike, He lies to you; strike 2, and then he goes for your friend; strike #3, I say he's out! He lost the game, gall. He doesn't deserve another chance on the plate, he isn't a very good player. Strike that, he is a player!Ha! Just give it a little time, and then move on. You will find another guy, but don't let him break your heart again, trust me! I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice if you did. Thanks.

P.S.
Your heart is just week from the shock, let it heal before you go and get it torn up again. Your heart won't make you wait forever, but give it some slack, it is the most important organ in your body! Ha!

Q: Is it normal to be this paranoid? Like, I always close the window and watch my back because I think there's a camera or even a person watching me. But the thing that happens almost 24/7 is that when I write something personal, like a diary entry or something along those lines, I think someone's going to find it, read it, let everyone know about it, and ruin my life if I keep it around. If I put this stuff on the internet, I think someone I know will find it and do the same thing, or use it for blackmail. Is it normal to be paranoid like this? Is this even called paranoia?
Perinoia runs my family...so you are being pariniod, but everyone gets pariniod. I am pariniod about things too. Like any room I go into I close the door. I can't help it, I freak when the door isn't closed, and the wierd thing is...I'm closterphobic, so it sucks. When I sleep, the door to my room has to be closed. I get pariniod about the same things you do. I used to have a stalker though, so...ya. But, I don't think that it is anything that you should worry about.But if you want to, talk to someone about it, like your parents or something..I wouldn't worry about it, but that is me. I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice. Thanks.

P.S.
If you think you are pariniod, you haven't seen my grandma. The other day she made my mom go to the store for a little cap for the tire of her car. You know the thing that you put the air in the tire? Ya! The whole reason was because she was afraid that someone would walk by and let the air out of her tire. Ya, she is waked...anyway, just thought that I would show you that you aren't crazy!

Q: Okay... I have a boyfriend lets say his name is "Joe". Well me and Joe have been dating foor about 2 months now and meanwhile I have always had a things for my old friend "Bob". I mean I would never cheat on Joe and I care for him more than the world, but yesterday Bob and I were talking and he told me he still had feelings for me and that from up so many feelings I had for him. But I still REALLY like Joe...I know this is confusing but I am so confused and I REALLY need help.
I have been through that like twice. I think that I have found that it is just easyer to stay with the "joe". My "Joe" turned out okay. If you dump Joe and go for "Bob" then you will have to get over Joe (wich is like almost imposible) and then you have to get into being with Bob. Not only that but there is the dumping and the asking out, and then a lot of other things. This way, you stay with Joe and you don't break his heart, but instead of just saying no to Bob, tell him that you are in a relasionship right now, but if he wants to wait that you two could try it if you and Joe breaks up...that is what I should have done...but I made the wrong decision the first time. I did what I just told you not too. It didn't work too well...anyway...I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice if you did. Thanks!

Q: Heyy,
i love you sing. Its my passion. And im good at it ,too. But My Family dosent relaly support me because i am afraid to sing infront of them, like i would if i was by myself. They have never heard my real voice before. I want to do singing as my occupation, but i dont know if i will make it because im so afraid to sing. I have a great voice, and i want to show it. Do you know anyway i can not be so afraid to sing out anymore? THANKS SO MUCH xoox
You know, it isn't that uncommon for people to be a little stage fright. I was, but now I am in a musical. I used to be afraid. I think that one of the reasons that you are afraid (and this is just a guess)is that you don't know if they will like you. Well, that aint true! If you like how you sing, then they will too. But one tip is to not try too hard. Try hard, definately, but if you try to hard your vice will crack, or you will go off tune, or forgett the words or something. All I'm saying is take your time. they will see in time that you are a great singer. Believe in yourself, that is all that matters. Ya, it helps when there are others there behind you, but who needs them? If you are as great as you say you are, keep trying, and maybe sing to yourself in front of the mirror. Sing into the brush every once and a while. maybe turn the radio on high and sing with it. It doesn't matter. Just keep trying, and i can almost garentee that they will love ya! good luck!

Q: Hi. I thought you were the one to come to for this quetion, because I know ur name is deathwillcome. Well, lately I've been seeing dead people. They ask me to come with them but i always don't. One time This little girl was grabbing my arm and trying to pull me down to my basement. When I started yelling for her to let go, she screamed and tried to suffocate me. I know I'm not losing my mind and I know they are real. Right this moment this guy is right behind me trying to tell me to get off. They don't like it when I tell people. What should I do? It is starting to really scare me. Please HELP me!
I have the same problem. Let's see if I can think of how to help you.... Why don't you E-mail me and then we can talk about it more openly...if you don't want to then just ask the question again with more details. My E-mail is on my advice clumn page. E-mail me please! I would really like to talk to you about this!

Q: well there is this kid at my school and he is really annoying his name is nick and he wont leave me alone even though he has a girl friend also he keeps trying to add me on myspace what should I do
I think that you should tell him that he is really starting to bug you and that you don't like it anymore. If he doesn't listen then tell his girlfriend (if you know eachother) and get her to talk to him. You could try avioding him or screaming at him. Other then that, I don't know what to tell you, you didn't really give me much detail. I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate but it would be nice if you did. Thanks!

Q: I love reading romantic books. Like teen ones, that are simple but really cute. I just read guitar highway rose, and i loved it. DOes anyone know any books like that? That are romantic but easy to understand?

Q: ok me and this guy dated and like a few mounths later he got sent to jell and when he got out he told me he was not aloud to date me any more. i was fine with it at the time but now whe never i see him my heart sinks really low and when ever i talk to him i get really sad what is wrong with me
You're in love. sorry, but that is the truth. I don't know what else to tell you, but you are in love and your heart wants him back. I think that you should just get over him, he went to jail! You can find someone that is better! I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice if you did. Thanks!

Q: alright it always seems that when my brother has friends over that im always home, because all my friends are busy and there is no one to talk to on the phone. Now his friends are really hot so i dont want them to think im a loser its just a cowinsdense (sp) that im home when he has his friends over, and no i dont do it on purpose. I try calling people to talk so i dont look like a dork but of course no one is home when i need them . What do around the house so they dont think im a loser? and i know like watching t.v or something but last time i did that one of his friends went " why is she sitting there watching tv"
ill rate high for ANYTHING.
Why don't you talk to your brother about it? He should understand, tell him that you don't want to look like a dork, but you don't have anything to do. Ask him if you can hang out with his friends, or just ignore them, besides, who cares what they think. He probably just said that to het your atention or your bro's. But if you really don't want to be there, go for a walk, or hang at the park. I wouldn't want to be alone, but hey, if you don't want to hang with your bro, and his friends, it is your choice. I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice if you did. Thanks!

Q: Me and my girlfriend of 3 years just broke up. Well she broke up with me, claiming she needed a time out to decide what to do with her life. I love this girl so much, and as you guys can imagine im debastated and heart broken. My question is, what should i do, ive been getting all emotional, and i dont wanna be anymore, the way i see it she got rid of me for no real reason. Should i start dating/fooling around with other women, or should i wait a litle bit? i always find that its easier to forget if you get somebody else.
No, you should never give up, please don't, because if you do, then you won't be happy, but don't nesisairly persue it either. Just stay where you are...

Q: ok i'm a 14/f. There is this guy at my school lets call him Nick. I have a HUGE crush on nick. Well Nick and I r friends we talk on IM 24/7 and when we go on band trips he askes me 2 sit by him on the bus. When we r on IM he always seems 2 b asking me questions like who I have a crush on and wut kind of guys I like. It would seem like he likes me right? worng! He likes a girl named(lets all her sally). Yes things get worse. Sally likes Nick back! They aren't going out but they both know that they like echother. So I need 2 know how I can get Nick to like me instead of Sally. I really like him so I really need you help please!
much luv xoxoxox,
marsbars
either, you let him love her and you get over it, or you try and never succeed. I hate to sound mean, but you can't make a guy like you! I wish you could, Heck, every girl wishes you could, but it just doesn't work that way! If you don't get over it then you will suffer and lose a lot of chances with other guys. Also, if you do try to get him to like you, 1 it pretty much won't work and 2 it will probably make him more stand offish. I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but you can if you want to! Thanks!

Q: Okay, I didn't get any sleep tonight since I woke up at 4:30 P.M. So if I went to sleep now, then I would wake up at either 4 or 5. I am just going to stay awake so that I don't get my sleep schedule messed up even more then it is. My question now is, what are some good things I could do to stay awake? I'm kind of feeling sleepy now. I need some quick answers. Thank you!
You could play videogames, excercise, go for a jog, take a shower. Anything that gets your sences in action. You might not want to read or do something like that because that could just make you more tired. If you keep moving, you will wake up.

Q: My math 10 teacher has been acting really strange around me. He came up to me the other day and said "my wife's maiden name is the same as yours". He also said I reminded him of his wife when she was younger, and said it in a kind of romantic (yuck) way. Another time he caught me and my friend writing notes, and then he came up to me, tried to read the note, and then said "oh it's a love letter to me". Another girl heard and thought he was joking, because she said "I highly doupt that sir". But I know he was being serious. I always catch him staring at me. One day he heard me say the F word. He told me to stay behind after class. Instead of giving me crap, he said "I'm really suprised at you, but I'm just going to give you a warning". He was talking seductively. I know he was enjoying having me all alone.
It feels really gross and wrong of him. I am only 15. He's like old enough to be my father. What should I do, and is he being inappropriate or am i overreacting?
You should talk to your parents and give them the details and let them decide what to do about it...you don't need to be freaking over it, it is there kind of "grown up" thing! I hope that I helped, and remember that my inox is always open. You don't have to rate, but you can if you want to. Thanks!

Q: Okay, if this is long, Im sorry, but I give fives to everyone:]
My ex boyfriend used to always follow me, every single place I went at school. It got old, but I still liked him. Im very shy and so I didnt talk to him alot. Hes kinda geeky too though. Hes a boyscout. Now we broke up because I wanted too, and his friend said I broke his heart and everything, and its just so weird without him all the time. I miss him, but at the same time, he was kinda smothering. What should I do?
There is two things that you can do. First, you can become his friend, and hang out with him, but he won't necicarilly think that that is a good idea. So, you could tell him that he was smothering you and that you miss him, but that if he changed, maybe you could try it again. He might not think that is a good Idea either, but it is worth a try. I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice! Thanks~

Q: Ok so I still love my ex and he loves me back but i dont want a bf and now my other ex who hurt me basically denying he ever liked me said he just did that so me and my other ex could get together and he wouldnt be in the way, i'm not sure if he's lying to me, but i really want to be with the ex i love but if i even start hanging out with the other one i'll fall for him again too, but he's one of my best friends so what do i do?
Who do you love the most? When in doubt, follow your heart! I would go for the one that didn't lie to you , but you don't even have to pick one of them. I can't tell you what to do. I hope that I helped and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice!Thanks!

Q: I haven't been to many funerals, but I am young and expect I'll be attending quite a few over the course of my life. I need advice on two issues that have come up at the funerals I have been to:

1. What do you say when someone asks how you are? To say that you're "doing great" or even "fine" seems disrespectful to the dead person and their family.
2. I am an atheist. What am I to say when someone brings up the afterlife? I feel like a liar when I nod and agree that yes, So-and-so is in a better place, but I can't very well tell the bereaved family members that their loved one is now worm food.
1. tell the truth, if they don't like it, they can get over it. Like at my dad's funeral, I just said "I miss him, but I'm fine." with a smile on my face...like a huge grin. that was the truth. I never really cried.
2. just nod and smile and then quickly retreat, unsuspiciosly of coarse!
3.What you need to understand is that it is okay to cry and that if you don't it is okay also. There is no reason to feel sorry or guilty for acting any different way from anyone else. Everyone reacts in their own way, it isn't a crime to smile at a funeral.
4.Since you didn't really know them as like seeing them everyday, just remember what you can, and leave if you can't stand the sitting around.(I just mean like at the after get-togethers, and I don't mean like leave imedeately, I mean like stay for like a little while and talk to a few people and then leave if you are able to.)
I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice.Thanks.

Q: i am dating a guy i like him but, a lot of trust worthy friends say he is cheating on me. He has done it before what to do
I would try to get the proof for yourself. Some people that are jeleous or just really want the boy, or just hate him would say that. Like if your friend like secretly likes him then they would say that maybe to get him, but I kind of would like skip that option if they are like your best friends. Maybe they actually know something, you never know! But if they don't have true proof, then don't dump him quite yet...but don't like scream at your friends for even saying that because if it turns out that they are right, you will feel horibble! If he has done it before that is already a clue that he might be cheating on you or that there is a posibility. He might have changed, so give him a chance. You should ask him, he will give you the excuse that it isn't true and that you shouldn't believe what they say, but you should tell him that you need to know, and that you have been hearing it from your friends. If he gets angrey at you then there is a clue that it is one of the extremes. That means that either he is cheating on you big time or he deffinately isn't and he is very offended that you would even ask that question. Also talk to his friends (try the ones you know well, so that it isn't awkward) and talk to them about it. You could even,(if you don't feel weird about going behind his back, or if it is getting desperate.)three-way your boyfriend without his knowing and have his friend(s) talk to him about it on the phone. If your boyfriend is a showoff then he should brag about it or you!haha! Remember that he "supposedly" loves you so give him some slack unless you find some evidance. If you do find something that pionts toward the fact that he is cheating on you, then ask him about it and give him a chance to explain. Don't explode on him, becuase you could be wrong. I hope that I helped, and remeber that my inbox is always open.

P.S.
sorry that this is so long! haha!

Ok, so I haven't been on in a while and I'm just starting to get back to where I can give advice again. I had a rough spot there and I just couldn't give advice without seeming rude, so I decided to take a break. My real name is Shannon and I live in Utah. I am 15 and I love animals and friends. I love to act and know a bit about those kinds of things. I would love to help you out and hope that I can. But there is one thing, you have to ask a question for me to answer! Just kidding. Hope you have a great day!
