After spending about a year and a half on this website, I have decided to call it quits.
Most of the people on here are lovely but I think I misunderstood the purpose of this website. I thought it was a safe haven for teenagers to go to when they wanted honest answers that weren't the textbook excerps they would get from regular counselors.
I did not think that the answers I had would have to be sensored to suit the head moderators opinion of right and wrong.
Regardless of that, I will always stand by all the answers I have given. I will and have never "advertised" anything illegal or harmful but I have never closed the door on someone who was debating a potentially illegal or harmful situation.
I hope the advice I have given on this site has proven helpful to some and I hope that anyone who ventures to this website will find what they are seeking.
God bless you all :)

About Mara
Hey, I'm Mara. I love dancing. It's practically my favourite thing to do. I love House, R&B, pretty much everything with a good beat, and Benny Benassi is my hero; that's why my column is a shrine to him. I graduated this year and am now in my first year of college where I'm trying to pick a major. Chances are you'll see some of my Psychology questions floating around somewhere here. I'm also extremely interested in Political Science too because I, like half the people living in Canada, somehow want to change the world. I particularly want to find a cure for poverty, corruption, cancer, AIDS and George Bush because honestly, I think those are the biggest problems we have right now. I have decided that maybe I should take the time to live a little before I start though because I have a good fifty years ahead of me to fix all the issues there are. Currently my life consists of: studying, working, socializing, eating and ocassionaly sleeping. I spent practically all of my high school life being a delinquent and partying to huge extents until I discovered my brain sometime in the middle of my senior year. I still like to have a good time every once in a while but you always need to find that balance (I haven't exactly found it yet but I'm getting close). Unfortunatley, a habit that has stuck with me from school is my obsessive gossiping. I just can't stop and you know, an article in Cosmo says that gossipers are healthier people because they bond over it? Who would have thought? Anyway, I do have my limitations and I don't condone nasty, brutal gossiping and I don't gossip about anything my friends have told me in confidence or something about someone else that they have slipped to me, however, if I find you in a washroom at a random party making out with my bestfriends's boyfriend, a few people are probably going to hear about it. Actually, more than a few people will hear about it because one of my absolute pet peeves is parties where the all the bathrooms are occupied due to sexual activity or... puking activity. Sooooo what else is there to know about me? My favourite thing in the world is shopping and my worst fear is existantialism. I am OCDey in a clinical way so you can ask me questions about that. You can ask me practically anything you want except for dumb questions but I'm not going to answer them in my little column here because it's a huge waste of space when I could be writing about myself (Click 'LookIt' on my menubar for answers to dumb questions so you don't have to embarass yourself asking them and getting bitched out from me). What I can do, is offer you three pieces of truly inspirational advice. Firstly, never live your life by what others want of you, cherish yourself and everyone around you, and never beat yourself down about anything you couldn't have avoided. Secondly, donate at least ten percent of the income you earn in your life to someone who needs it. Lastly, never get into a bulldozer when you're under the influence and start driving it towards a poor freshmen (I am never going to another kegger ever again... ever). Ok, I'll shut up now. You can start asking me stuff, if you haven't hit the back button already.

Divit says hi
He is the cutest thing ever

There is this guy who recently broke up with his long-term girlfriend whom he's known for at least 5 years now. The thing is that they have been on and off throughout these years and I don't like try to get myself into that type of information/drama. The problem is, recently it seems like they haven't been talking to each other for a longer time than usual. Personally it doesn't really matter to me, until a few weeks ago the guy started joking around with me, saying that i'm going to ask him out to a school dance. I went along with it because it was hilarious but I never actually thought that was going to happen because he might still get back together with his ex so it was just all really funny humor. This continues for the longest time, he would link arms with me when we walked to class and my friends would just joke about it. Up until this week I asked someone what was up with his and his ex. They said to not worry about it and that I won't get his ex mad if she saw him being all touchy with me. So after that I seriously considered asking him to go as a friend cuz he kept reminding me everytime I saw him.

Anyways, what was weirder was that I had a dream where he was my bf which made this scene completely change. I woke up feeling all weird inside...and I wanted to see if my mind would change back to normal. I saw him that day and he acted the same which made me even more confused. My feelings grew stronger, but I didn't know if I liked him or not...and I don't know if I even SHOULD because he might still have a chance at his relationship with his ex. Today I found myself wanting to talk to him and getting jealous when he talked to other people...especially his ex. He kinda stopped talking to me because before everytime we would " joke" about going as dates I wouldn't really respond to his flirting. I never had a bf before and I never really actually came close to that stuff at all. But now I feel worse than ever because I don't knwo how to explain how I feel. Does a dream reallly change everythign? or is this my own concious acting on me because I've never had anyone treat me like that and its just some type of physical attraction that doesn't really mean anything? I really don't know what I should do...

Sorry about such a long and confusing story> I just really needed to sort my mind out. Please help!

I believe that dreams give you the answer to questions that you can't work out in your conscious mind.
Usually if you're stabbing a friend in a dream, it's not out of the blue and you probably have underlying issues to discuss with your friend.
Because you're having such a hard time comprehending that you have a crush on him, your subconscious mind has already figured it out? Take it as a hint, you show all the signs of having a crush on him. Trust your instincts.
