advice

i totally said something i regret to a friend when i was mad at her. you know when ur mad u dont always mean what you say.now she wont talk to me much.i wanna work out the problem but i dont know how.

hey darlin'!
well i think you should definitely talk to her...let her know that you were mad and tell her what you told me. that when people are angry at someone or about something, they tend to say things that really dont mean...which is totally true. so let her know that! and if she doesnt understand or she's still mad at you, let her have her space. dont try to push things..but do let her know that you didn't mean what you said and you just said it out of anger. and that you're sorry. i really hope i helped, good luck!! ask if you need anymore help x3

Ok, there is this one guy that I know likes me. But I don't like him. We are really really good friends. How can I tell him I don't like him without hurting him?

hey! well, bring it up somehow, or if you want, just wait til he brings it up...and just let him know that you still wanna be really close friends and you dont want anything to change. im sure he might be upset, i mean everyone probably would...but let him know that you can still be really good friends and that you dont want to hurt him. i hope things work out for you, and i hope i helped!! best of luck =)

all right, i'm going to this wedding today and i'm bringing my best guy friend and now i'm feeling nervous. see i have this huge family and i'm worried they will bug him or make him feel uncomfortable. i can't cancel because he seems to really want to go an i'm just worried my family will scare him away or something. what would you guys do in this situation? i already warned him but he just laughed and said he was sure it would be fine... but still i'm nervous. help?

hey! well if your parents do that, let them know that you really don't want them to make you nervous...or him feel uncomfortable/nervous either. let them know that he's your guest basically and you just want him to have a good time. and if you want to tell your parents this ahead of time before the wedding and all, go for it! just for the sake of both of you.....but i'm sure it'll go great!! good luck =) hope i helped!


much love,

Hey rach,
I honestly have not been in a relationship since august, and i kind of get jealous of all my friends who have boyfriends right after another. Is that my fault? Should I do something to change myself?

hey!!! hun, its not your fault at all...its just the fact that you havent come along a guy that you really like that much. i know its hard but if you like someone enough to the point where you go out w/ them, then that should be sooo special...rather than some people who might get gf/bf after gf/bf and so on. so when you come across a guy you really like, take that for advantage and cherish him for as long as you can...personally i dont think people who have relationship after relationship after relationship really love each other (but then again, at this age we arent in love...but you know what i mean). a lot of people are single for a while and its not a bad thing..things happen for a reason and i'm sure God has a plan that you will meet someone one day and you will have SUCH a special relationship w/ them. it could be tomorrow, next week, 2 months from now...who knows. but just be patient, b/c good things come to those who wait...and i'm positive that you'll find someone! but if you like someone, then go for it sweetheart!!!! i love you and i hope i helped, good luck =)

xoxo love always,

Okay, I have this friend that I really like a lot. She is such a great friend who has always been there for me, and helped me. Lately we've grown kind of distant. Whenever I talk to her we get in stupid fights. Shes been really moody, and two faced. Please help me. Thanks.

hey! u should really sit down and talk w/ her about it..worrying about it isnt going to do anything about it unless you talk about it w/ her. and let her know that you mean so much to her and you hate to see you guys' friendship like this (getting so distant). you should also let her the way you feel...about her being 2 faced and moody and all. and if she freaks out on you and does it again, then maybe theres a reason why you guys are getting further apart. but thats not cool when you have a friend who means so much to you, so i really suggest talking to her! that way it should hopefully work things out. i hope i helped! good luck =)


love always,

hey .. okay i have this friend and i like him alot .. i've felt ways for him that i have NEVERRR felt for ANYONE before .. i have dreams about him .. and there good dreams .... he knows i like him but i dont know if he likes me .. he like leads me on making me think he likes me ... but i dont know .. any suggestions !? and could it be l0ve ? -- i rate g0od ..

hey! thats awesomeeeeee!!!! well, hopefully he's not leading you on..b/c sometimes guys can be assholes like that =( well i think u should ask him if he likes you! there's no reason why he should be leading you on and putting you through a broken heart in the end...so ask him for an honest answer. i hope i helped! and good luck =) i'm sure things will be soo awesome!!! and also...i don't think teenagers can be in love ..at least not really the intense kind of love. but perhaps =) later...let me know how things go if u get a chance!


love always,

What do you do when all of your friends are replacing you with other people? When you feel so worthless that you just want to crawl into a corner and kill yourself?

What do you do when your parents care more about their personal pleasure than you? When you get so fed up with them you want to kill yourself just to make them feel some guilt?

hey...i know who this is so it'll be easier to answer.
i'll break it down in parts, copying your questions and answering them part by part..here goes:
*What do you do when all of your friends are replacing you with other people? -well obviously, if they're going to do that..then they're DEFINITELY not good friends. people who do things like that are ignorant people, and obviously very selfish. i don't see why they would do such a thing b/c i know you are a great person and totally awesome. so if they're going to be so ignorant like that, then find real friends...not people who are going to let you down.

*When you feel so worthless that you just want to crawl into a corner and kill yourself? -we've all felt like that i'm sure, at least some point in our life...but that's not the solution. you have to keep going, keep pushing yourself to find answers...and peace for that matter. but i TOTALLY know how you feel, and i'm sure everyone has felt like that at some point in their life..but like i said, that's not the answer. walking away from problems, trying to ignore them..won't help anything. it'll just make things worse, so you have to fight on, keep going..and dont give up.

*What do you do when your parents care more about their personal pleasure than you? -i'm sure soo many people have gone through this as well. it's not the easiest thing in the world to get through, or try to understand either. you should talk to them about it- dont be afraid to question things that your parents are doing and you want to know about it.

*When you get so fed up with them you want to kill yourself just to make them feel some guilt? -once again, that's NOT the right things to do. you have to ask them, instead of going into things blindly and sometimes assuming things. don't be afraid to ask them things that you're confused about or have questions on. it's their business to know how you're feeling about things like that.



i hope i helped, and good luck...i love you muchoness

Hey Rachel...
Okay I need your advice yet again. I'm starting to fall in love with my friend... but I dont really want to. There's nothing wrong with her at all. She's an awesome friend... but that's how I wanted to keep our relationship; as friends. She really likes me aswell so she's okay with my stupidity of getting closer to her... I just dont want to hurt her, that is my main reason to not fall in love with her. I didnt want to hurt her if something tore us apart. I dont know if I even know what real love is... I would do anything, including giving my life to save any of my friends... so what makes love more powerful? I'm lost and confused Rach... please help me out... guide me along. You're always around for me :-)

hey! well...let her know this...you can't go forever not telling her..and pretending its all okay..b/c its probably not- if she likes you as much as she says, then she's going to be sooo hurt in the end...and of course you both don't want that. so to prevent it, tell her ahead of time..but let her know that you really like her. then maybe later on...you guys can hook up, when of course, you both are ready...=D


hope i helped, good luck! =D

I'm 14 and I wanted to go to the movies with a guy friend. When I told my parents, they didn't believe me so they didn't let me go. They thought he was more than just a friend. I don't know how to get my parents to trust me and besides I think I'm old enough to date guys. I have never done anything that would get my parents to not trust me either. I just don't understand...please help me

hey! well a lot of parents don't trust kids b/c they dont know/want what their kids are getting into...and im sure that you're not the only kid w/ this problem =p ..but for parents being able to trust you and all, it might take a little while..so to prove that they can trust you, you need to show it through your actions, not just your words. and then they'll be able to trust you and you can have more privelages! hope i helped =) good luck! *rachel*

Hey, I love this girl, okay? And it wont work out between us for a few reasons. We are basically as close as we can possibly be under current circumstances. Yet sometimes I feel like I'm not really wanted by her, like I'm just a burden for her. I don't mean to bother her but she hasnt told me otherwise yet so I assume that everything is okay between us. She talks to me and all but I get a bad feeling.

Any advice?

hey! i think that if you guys are really close and talk and everything, you shouldn't worry about it! sounds like ur a little too worried...just take things as it goes. if she's been talking to you this whole time, then sounds like she doesn't have a problem with you.. but as things go along with your friendship, take every little thing that you and her do and talk about, and see if she flirts in anyway and whatnot...but i don't think you should be worried, just takes things slowly and if you need to..ask her if you seem like a burden on her..

hope i helped =D good luck =)

I've got a friend and I haven't known her very long at all. She's been there for me so many times that I can't help but want to return the favor to her. She's such a great person... yet she has some problems and I kinda forced them out of her. I kinda feel bad for doing it... but I really care about her and I knew something wasnt right. She's under the impressions that because she vented to me our friendship is ruined or something. Yet, I dont feel that way at all. I see it as our friendship is just getting closer. (Did I mention she's a bit stubborn?) What can I do to help my friend see it my way and do you think what I did was right?

Thanks In Advance
(Might want to think about it before you answer hun... if I wasn't obvious enough.)

i know this is about you and i charlie...so....before i start...."(Did I mention she's a bit stubborn?)" --->true true. anyway, im really glad that our relationship got closer, and im not mad that u forced it out of me...im thankfull...very. because i had been keeping things in for so long that i just couldnt take things ne more, and i think that if u hadnt done that..i dont know where i'd be right now...and im so glad that we've become closer because of that ((apparently)) and...its alright. i thank you so much...because i vented stuff out, and that helped a lot..because since i had been keeping things in and bottling it up, i was so stressed. i dont know, i cant explain how much that helped me..it made my night. last night i was able to sleep for the first time in about a year, knowing that i had finally got some of my thoughts/problems out. so..it wasnt a bad thing at all. thanks so much charlie...

Hey, I need, some help, all the time i get this achy feeling, i never have any thing to do. it seems like all my friends are slipping away from me. My mom is all stressed out, and i can't get anyone to listen to me. My ; classes used to be easy, but now they are hard. I'm sooo confused, please, what should i do?!?!

Life is tough..and i have to say that straight out. because from my experiences, life sucks sometimes! i've been through a lot of this stuff..and sometimes you just need to vent. find something that works for you to vent when your angry. like...scream into a pillow (i do that sometimes), listen to music, go outside and take a walk (i do that too), or...maybe u just need someone to talk to. find a friend that you really trust and can talk to that person about things. it helps just letting out everything and telling someone, because otherwise..if its just built up inside, then thats a stresser!!! well i hope i helped, good luck! :) my aim is RachBayb08

Rebekah

Hi Rachel it's me Jose...i guess it's time for me to give u something to give me advice to. Well me and my friend Julie we are good friends but she went out with this guy and in my opinion i didn't think it was her type of guy. They broke up and now she's mad at me because i told her my opinion and she didn't like it.She said i was judging the guy without knowing and all these other comments. Well Rachel i need u more than ever on this please help me...i don't wanna lose her as a friend because she's a good one. I really need ur help on this.

hey! i think you should just sit down and talk to her about this...she really needs to know that just because you don't necessarily like this guy, that it shouldn't ruin your friendship. :) hope i helped, much love..

Ok, there's 2 people you'll have to know for this there's:

Steph: she's a sweet 9 year old girl, she lived next door to me, and she moved 4 months ago

Adam: He is Steph's big step brother, he's 14. he came every other weekend to Stephs house.

well, I had this biiig crush on Adam,a nd I was soo sad when they left. it all hit me as i watched the moving van drive off, that I loved him, I started crying remembering all the great memories. we've played spin the bottle he kissed me, that was my first kiss. and my last. it was just a kiss on the cheek, but it really ment a lot to me. well, a few weeks after Steph moved, I IMed Adam, and told him I Liked him. we hadn't talken ever since. or at least till yesterday, he e-mailed me. he told me that he really loved me back, and that he was going to tell me in real life, apperently he came over last Saturday, but I was at a biig choir performance. I couldn't belive it, i'm about ready to go nuts!!!I don't know what to do, he lives 3 hours away, I dont' have his phone number or anything. sombobdy please help me, I'll give out 5's!!!

hey! aww, thats so sad but thats awesome that he likes u back!! ask him if u can call him sometime, and then maybe on the weekend if u and him r free, u guys can visit each other!! and if u dont have time for that, then u guys could just talk over the phone (better than nuthin :) ) and IM and email...then once u guys can figure a plan out, u guys should meet up and see what happens!! well, i hope i helped, good luck!! if u want to IM me, u can...RachBayb08 --much

i like this boy and so does my BESTFRIEND and like its really weird because i liked him for the longest time and she just started loiking him but she acts like she called him or something and i really dont know what to do ?? will you help me!

hey! you should talk to your friend about how you feel, and ask her how you feel. maybe if you sit down and chat with her about this, she'll understand how much you like him, and then maybe she won't flirt so much if she really knows that you like him that much. does she know you like him?
hope i helped! you can talk to me more about this, or just chat, by IMing me--- honeybuns530 or BehindBluEyes892 or email, re.dewoody@verizon.net
