about

My name is Angel, and I'm from northern California. I come from a large family where I'm the oldest, and I've lived a long, strange life. I have just about seen it all. In the last couple years, I have kicked a bad drug/alcohol addiction, and I can proudly say that I'm a sober teenage girl. I have a job, I'm a nanny/family assistant, whatever you want to call it. I'm a senior in high school, and I'm genuinely happy. I have a boyfriend, and we've been together for almost a year now. I have a lot of good advice, because I have a lot of life experience. I come from a broken family, I have step-relatives, and half-relatives. I just reunited with my mother after 10 years. My sister is a drug addict of the worst possible kind. I've been in all types of relationships. I guess it's safe to say that I know a little bit about a lot of things, and there's a lot that I know a lot about. Then there's things that I know nothing about, and that's when I ask questions. Thanks for reading my little rant, ask me anything. I check my email everyday, so if you can't reach me on my column, email me. ~Angel xoxo

i dont know what has been wrong with me lately. whenever im at school, i dont wanna hang out with my friends because i feel like they are leaving me out of things & i feel like im going to cry. can you help me with this?

I thought I had this same problem, if you think that way, you'll feel like you're excluded more and more. What I did was kind of get together with my friends and basically tell them that we don't spend enough time together... Then we started doing a dinner at someone's house every other week. If they're not inviting you or including you in their plans, make plans and include them. As far as school goes, try to be social with everyone in your group rather than just chatting it up with one friend at a time. You really have to include yourself to feel included, that's how friendships work. Hope I helped... good luck && keep me posted. -Angel

My friends(former friends) are writing notes to another one of my friends about me and i dont know if that one friend is writing bad stuff back! if i ask her if she is she'll say no because she's known to write bad things about people! so i dont know what to do! please help fast! i need it!Thanks!

Sounds like you could use some new friends. Anyone who would say something bad about you and not tell you about it to your face is shady and unworthy of any friendship. Don't talk to her, let her know you found out she was saying bad things about you, and if she asks what those bad things are turn it around on her. Say something like, "well I'd really like to hear what you said yourself before I go ahead and believe what I heard/think you said." But you really just shouldn't have anything to do with this b*tch [excuse my language]. Hope I helped. -Angel

there are these boys in my grade. their the popular ones and i was online one night and they were on & were all like you're so ugly just go and die. no one likes you so just go to hell. now they call me gorilla b/c im so ugly. i've tried ignoring them but it dosent work. now all of the boys are saying it b/c they bascally worship the popular kids. i'm the only one they pick on. can you please give me some advice or comebacks?

thanxx

You know what I have to say about these immature kids. Screw them. What difference should they make in your life, if you think you're ugly, it'll show, if you take a different approach and show more self-esteem, that will also show. If you have confidence in yourself and your attractiveness, these people will see that they're simply just not getting through to you and there's no point in making fun of you. Don't sink down to their level with comebacks and stuff, screw them, what do they matter to you? Don't pay attention to their stupidity and ignorant remarks, do take a step back to show yourself a little more respect, you deserve it. Take my advice, and good luck with it. -Angel

If you had a choice. If you had to choose between studying for a really important test or helping out a friend in need. What would you do?

It really depends on the situation with your friend, the test, and your teacher. I'm the type of person that is always there for my friends because I would be offended if they didn't show the same respect for me, I would try to study for the test for a little bit, and then help your friend, and then explain to your teacher tomorrow that you're really sorry but you didn't get a chance to study because you had a friend in need of your help but you'll make up the test as soon as you possibly can. Good luck with that.. hope I helped. -Angel

ok so my friend spent the night with me for the first time 2 nights ago. and she was just admiring my earings, well today when i went to school she has that on and my shark tooth necklace. i said those are my earrings, and thats my necklace. and she goes "no my mom made me go to clairs with her". ok 1. she lied to me bkuz when i gt home i looked everywhere for them and 2. she stole from me. what mom "makes" their daughter go to clairs with her. not her mom, i know her mom. i am sooo mad at her, what should i do? i really want to tell her mom bkuz i really want to get her in trouble, please help, i'm desperate! thx...

If you want to tell her mom, tell her more along the lines of... " I don't want to get (name) in any trouble or accuse her of anything, but I saw her wearing a few things that looked a lot like some of the things i've been missing recently.." Her mom should understand, it wouldn't be right of you to steal back your stuff from her. So talk to her mom about it and hopefully things work out.. good luck. -Angel
