Ask hailebop!




Did you ever wake up and wonder when your life became a soap opera? A bizzare mixture between 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Days of our Lives'?



I know I've had that feeling - that it's just all too dramatic and ridiculous, and wouldn't it be nice to go and under a nicely-furnished rock for a while? So, whilst I do not promise or claim to be an expert on how teenage boys minds work or how you can uncode your best friend's baffling behaviour, I'll always attempt to empathise and offer some honest words of advice.



I am 21, with a fairly dysfunctional life as a artsy student type. I've recently graduated with a degree in Philosophy, and am spending time working in the law before returning to university for further study. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, but I like where I am at the moment. I like shoes, bad television, chocolate cheescake and pretty things.



I am very busy at the moment, attempting to fund my life as a postgraduate (that's grad school to the Americans). I do still stop by quite a lot to help out with the admin stuff, but my column is pretty lame and inactive. Boo-hiss. I will however still endeavour to answer any questions that are sent my way, so feel free to send questions to my inbox.





Frequently Asked Questions


Actually, I made them up. But they are questions that I've seen more than once around this site (and, indeed, in the real world), and so have created general responses to them, linked below. It's a little sparse at the moment, but I'll be adding to the list as I think of more questions (and, er, answers to them).

k, im 13 and I wanna wear thongs. lol, I know, weird, but newayz... i had one be4 that my cousin had got me and i had to throw it away after i wore it once cuz i didnt wanna get caught. I dont know how, because everytime it comes up, all my mom says is idk y u would purposly put your underwear up your butt. If you think about it, when you wear regular underwear, you pick it out. I think that thongs are really comfortable, how do i tell her I wanna wear em???



My mother doesn't 'understand' thongs either (she occasionally looks baffled when I'm going through the washing and says "I just don't see *how* they can be comfortable!"). She was a little bemused at first, but she, like your mother, will get used to it. As you've said, it's not about being sexual and showing it off, it's just about being comfortable and feeling comfortable knowing that you don't have a visible knicker line. If you explain that to her, I'm sure she'll be okay with you wearing them. If the idea of bringing up the topic yourself is too daunting, you could just buy a few plain ones yourself (nothing that's likely to scare her, such as something with a flirty message written accross it!) and if she asks, then explain as above why you want to wear them. Good luck!
