ok, i have this continuing problem with my neighbor down my street, ok, background time... Me and this kid, lets just call him Mike, have been friends off again-on again for the better part of 10 years, but it never got this bad ever until the start of this summer. Ok, first of all (not meaning to brag here), i bench 245 and am considerably stronger than Mike, but he insists that he is better than me at everything, and thinks he owns every one, on top of he thinks he is like a human dictionary, trying to use big words that dont fit. Well, whenever i disagree with him, Mike AND my younger brother always decide that im being "cocky and arrogent" but thats the case with Mike, and lately it has gotten so bad that i have litteraly caught my fist in air from hitting his face. please tell me what to do, and plz dont tell me to talk it out with him, there is no talking with this kid.
thank you and i rate very high for real responses.

Me and my friend have been best friends forever! She reccently had a sleepover and when we were there we prank phonecalled a boy who likes me at 2 in the morning, even though he didn't even care that we did. Well her mom found out and got really mad...now I'm afraid to ask my friend to hang out with me over the summer because I'm afraid that my mom will find out and I'm afraid of my friends mom. So what should I do? (link)
| |
im afraid of my friends mom too so i know exactly where your coming from. if shes got a sn im her if shes got a cell call it or just call her house be teh bigger person swallow your fear and call usually the teens answer the phone thats one thing ive noticed but not all the time try apologizing about the prank and how you didnt mean to make her mad and that your really sorry parents can over react sometimes just try to get together with your friend where her mom wont be around. like the mall or something. hope i helped!

I'm going to be a freshman this year when highschool starts and I was wondering if I could get help with a "new look", and I mean everything! I dress kind of preppy, but also sporty at the same time. I would like a more rocker//bohemian//preppy look all mixed in one. Is this possible? Everything from what(if) I should put something in my hair, all the way down to the shoes! ((no spandex or cowboy boots please!)) I'd also like a new look, I wear eyeliner and mascara everyday, any updates? Any good brand of eyeliner that doesnt smudge, wonderful foundation for beige skin, a "flirty" pink blush, and waterproof mascara would be awesome! If anyone could give me advice on a good first day of school outfit, that would be fantastic! Any websites, and stores that arent majorly exspensive. (I shop at AE, Hollister, & PacSun, so anything around that price range or cheaper!) Thanks so much to anyone who could give me good advice! I'll rate fives for anyone who can give me great advice. Thank you soo much!! (link)

ok i love this question! im going into highschool too if your looking for a dramatic look like a huge change in hair get it layered and add some color to it dont go completely blonde or brunette or anything but highlights are a good idea try any of the awsome new stores forever 21, 5 7 9 anything that looks different but has great accessories to match that is the best way to show who you want to be glitsy and glam is good bangles or dangly earrings and liquid eyeliner usually wont smudge to bad next time you go to the store for cosmetics read the label for water proof eyeliner and mascara its the best the foundation and blush can be found anywhere just be on the look out for it if your in shape a cute short sleeve shirt with a wacky design or funky colors is best for anyone if your skinny try a new skirt you dont have to be a slut to make an impression though just make sure you match but dont make it look planned if your not comfortable wearing a skirt on the first day try a cute new pair of jeans you cant go wrong! i hope you have an awsome school year and i hope i helped!

I rate HIGH! (link)
| |
all i can think of is writing but ask him if he has a computer and if he does exchange sns also if yall both have a cell and good plans you could text and call if the long distance isnt too much or you have like free nights and weekends or something. hope i helped!

dont agree to it. your havent met him thats not safe if you really want to get to know him better yall should meet and further your relationship he may be ready to settle down your odviously not try explaining that to him and he may understand but chances are yall might break up it just means yall arent on the same page just think of it as a chance to find a person that lives closer to you that will understand where your coming from. hope i helped!

How often should you change the your razor head for shaving your legs/under arms/pubic area? There's nothing on the box. I use Venus if that helps. (link)
| |
when it starts getting dullif you shave alot like 4 times a week or more than every week i would say other wise every other week you dont want to get something bc its rusting so keep it dry if you can! hope i helped!

Okay so i go to a small high school i'll be a senior, and i hang out with this group of people and i mean we're all really close, and it's really weird cause theres i'd say about.. 50-60 of us, but we all hang out at school at lunch together and take up this big spot and everything. Anyways there's guys and girls. I really want to have a birthday party this year i'll be turning 17. because i didn't do anything for my 16th really and i haven't ad one since like 6th grade. but i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do with so many people. my friend had her 16th bday at this big hotel room thing..like whats downstairs..and there was a dance floor and a dj and food and stuff. so i dont really want that. i would just feel bad if i didn't invite some people cause we're all like best friends..and thats what makes it hard. 50 best friends? whaatt.. i mean i have ONE BEST BEST friends, but everyone else is pretty much the same. any ideas?
oh and my bdays in november. (link)
| |
youve got plenty of time to work this out if one of your friends has a birthday close to yours try having a joint party the cost will be less and it will be easier to plan with someone helping you if theres a gameworks or a main event some sort of entertainment place you know videogames bowling lazertag etc. and have your party there it will be alot of fun and will give you alot of options!hope i helped!

I'm 14/f and I know I should be reading advanced books because I'm in 11th grade Honors english even though I'm a freshman. And, generally, I do. But a lot of the time I like to read books that are, well, sappy romance novels. Like the book version of soap operas. Big time guilty pleasure!!! I feel so guuuuuuuilty about it. It's like cheap candy, tasty to eat only not very nourishing, but it's a book. And since my family is big on reading "advanced literature" and my mom would freak out if she knew I was reading them, and I don't know whether it's ok for a person of my level of reading to be reading these!? I know it sounds like I'm being a snobby bitch that needs to be reassured of her own level but I'm not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot!!!!!

theres nothing wrong with reading romance novels my mom did that for about a year and i thought it was kinda funny if its something you enjoy dont give it up just find a new version of it usually there are alot of authors writing teen books about love dating a deciept if you havent try reading some books that are about romances between teens youll be able to relate and it may be a bit more satisfying!hope i helped!

i am going to camp this week, and my ex boyfriend will be there.
we broke up in april and we haven't really talked since.
he came up to me at chruch once and apologized for what he did, but i don't think he really meant it because he still acts like a jerk towards me.
my question is, how can i have an awesome time at camp without thinking about my stupid ex?
thanks in advance (link)
| |
think of this as a chance to get to know new people (especially boys) if you suround yourself with new faces and new experiences it will show your ex that you could really care less about him try to have fun get involved with something you really like while your there if hes acting jerky chances are he misses you guys are weird like that they try to block you out so that they feel better but it just makes everything worse. if that doesnt work try to talk to him maybe it will get easier to be around him if yall understand each other. hope i helped!

okay im going out with my boyfriend and weve been going out since last thursday, he used to go out with my friend who split up with him about 2 weeks ago, she treated him like shit,and then she dumped him. i feel like a bitch because she likes him again now but my boyfriend is saying he wants to be with me not her and i feel the same, my friends say that she treated him like shit and me and him like each other. but i dont know i feel really bad. but what i dont like is that she said to my friend find out if jack still likes her thats her ex my boyfriend.
what should i do? (link)
| |
shes just jealous ur her friend and she treated him bad so now that hes with you she wants something she cant have he likes you and you like him accept that there is no reason to feel bad she dumped him and he doesnt want her back he wants you she odviously wasnt good enough for him and he needs someone whos worth while (thats you) if your friend cant be supportive of you and get over it tell her that she broke up with him remember! if he truly likes you and is over her everything will work out and you have no reason to feel bad or guilty.hope i helped!
|
okay i'm only 13 but i have a lot of problems. this guy asked me out like an hour ago. i kind of know him..but not that well...but he seems really nice and caring and he really likes me a lot. the problem is that i feel weird. i kind of like him, but theres some other people i kind of like too. he seems to care about a lot and really like me. should i give him a chance? i feel really guilty..but should i keep going out with him for awhile and give him a chance?
(link)
| |
i think you should if you dont know him all that well then get to know him go to the mall or somewhere where yall can walk and talk movies are a bad idea 2 hours of complete silence is NOT a date. if you like him then talk to him get to know him if things dont work out between yall explain to him that you just see him more as a friend but dont back off too soon give the poor guy a chance he had to get up the courage to ask you and theres no reason for you not to feel guilty your just confused right now i say go with it for a while and see what happens! hope i helped!

Well there's this guy that I've known pretty much my whole life. He's my neighbor but we've never really been that great of friends. We both play tennis so I see him kind of a lot in the summer. The other day we were talking online and he said we should hang out more. He's gonna call me when he gets back from basketball camp. I really wanna hang out with him but thing is, I don't know him that well. I don't know what to talk about with him. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to talk about? How can I open up to him more? Thanks, any help will be appreciated! Oh and I'm 14/f (link)
| |
flirt flirt flirt! lol i had the same problem genericly about a week ago but you soooo came the the right place just flirt but not clingy or too touchy laugh smile ask him lots of questions guys love to talk ask him whats he doing this next year for school theres alot to talk about before the new school year comes around if he asks you any questions answer them completly and fully honest if you want to open up more. remember he suggested that yall hang out more which means he is atleast interested in a friendship with you or maybe more than that! just be urself 100% and you cant go wrong!hope i helped!

theres this boy that i've liked for a long time but since i havent kissed a boy before he calls me prude and says he wont go out with me cuz of that. then he says well show me that you're not prude but i dont want to kiss/make out with him just to prove that to him but i really like him alot and i hate everyone calling me prude. what do i do?
(link)
| |
dont do anything your not comfortable with. if he doesnt respect that and everyone is calling you prude then maybe it hasnt crossed your mind that its not that your prude its that there all easy sluts if you dont want to kiss him then dont you need to feel comfortable with someone before you do anything theres alot of pressure on teens to just be like everyone else you dont have to follow the crowd find your own pace that your comfortable with find another guy who likes you for you then that guy will be sorry he didnt give you a chance and youll be alot happier.hope i helped!

ok so i cut, so obviously im depressed. i cant decide if i should go to a psychologist and have them give me anti-depressants, or if i should just go to our family doctor and get some from him. what do you think? i dont want my parents in the same room as me if i went to the doctor, so how would i do that? id feel bad if i said i dont want my parents to come in, but is that what im supposed to do? is the doctor going to ask me questions? and would i have to show him my cuts? their really teeny and a little red, so they really arent that noticable, but would he still give me anti-depressants? im not wanting anti-depressants just for my cutting, i am depressed so i have other problems other than cutting. thank youuuu (link)
| |
i think its great that you want to get help if you go to the doctor they may not want you parents in there when ur talking to them alot of doctors are like that if you go to a psychologist theyre going to ask more questions about why ur depressed and why you do what you do antidepressants are a good idea and getting help as soon as possible is suggested the doctor will ask you some questions like how long and how often have you been doing this you may have to show the cuts and just try to figure out what exactly is the source of your sadness and anger thats causing you to be depressed. hope i helped!

a few days ago, my friend slept over at my house. she's worried about me because she thinks im starving myself!! i dont eat breakfast ; ususally have a pop tart or a bagel for lunch ; and mostly crackers for dinner. i dont think im starving myself.. but she does and my other friends are seeing it too. what do u think? im scared.. i dont want to be starved. please help .. ill rate high for good answers!! (link)

some people just eat til there full if thats all it takes to make your tummy happy i dont see the problem alot of people dont eat breakfast and if your comfortable with the amount you eat then explain that to your friends i know all they do is care about your safety but if you are worried about it then just eat more. eat that bagel for breakfast and a sandwich and chips for lunch a small dinner is actually advised just do what makes you happy.hope i helped!

Is soda good for you? I'm kind of addicted to it...Do you think I should stop? (link)

ok there is this older boy that likes me and he told me. I like him to, a lot. the only problem is he is going into 9th grade and im going into 7th. do you think that is too much of an age difference? I mean if we both like each other why should age matter? My mom doesn't think its a good idea for me to date him. I think its good because he is much more mature then boys in my grade and he knows how to treat a girl right. what should i do? how can i go out with him without my mom knowing?
please help
i rate (link)
| |
nah go for it!!! the reason girls date older guys is the maturity thing but i dont think you should lie to ur mom maybe you could try showing her that deep down hes a really good guy so what your 12 and hes 14 when your 14 hell be 16 its no big deal i actually recomend dating older guys if yall truly like each other your mom wont be able to stand in the way try compromising with her like group dates. hope i helped!
