Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

I can never seem to talk to guys! My best friends:
Helen, Sarah and Katie talk to guys in class and out ( and obiously me) but i can never seem to get in a conversation that they are in so i just go with someone else like Jess (my m8). It might be because they are the coolest boys in our class and i am just scared, but i would like some advice on what i could do.
Oh.. and i am 13/f if that helps.
And i do like this boy called Harry and i think he likes me, if that helps. But Harry is in the middle (not popular, but not unpopular) if you know what i am saying. An that i really want a boyfriend too.
I am sorry that this is long but, i had to explain everything, so then you would understand.
Thanks alot, anything will do, just say what you think.

I know it is hard to talk to guys. Especially when you are young and just learning about relationships. Some girls just seem to do it naturally, but for those of us who find it awkward, here are some things that worked for me.
Well, girls and guys have a lot in common today. You probably have a lot in common with the boy who are your age. Like music, bands, video games, on-line websites. etc. So ask about those things. What kind of music do you like? Then tell him what you like. Who are your favorit groups, then (after he answers) tell him yours. Ask him about brothers and sisters? Love em or hate em. Compare notes. Ask about kids in school who are 1.) real popular 2.) great in sports 3.) smartest in school, 4.) worst teacher, 5) best teacher, then tell him yours.
Ask about favorite foods, candy, ask about utube, myspace, etc. etc. Then also be a GOOD LISTENER. When and if he does something smart, amazing, cool, unsual, daring, scary, etc. etc.
Say "hey that was smart, or amazing, or cool or unusual, or daring or scary, etc. etc.
I think these will help you get started Good luck to you
Michele
