Dear Bee,
try bringing it up to your friend. ask her if she likes your sister better than her, and tell her that you would really appreciate it if she would hang out with you rather than your sister when she is over, because you feel left out. your only other 2 options are to a) tell your sister that you feel like she is taking your friends away or b) get your sister to go to one of her friend's house when you know that your friends are coming over.

Hope that helped,

ok well these girls i dont no keep instant messangeing me sayin that im fat and ugly because they saw a picture of me on my profile and they say all these mean things to me and im not the kind of girl who can take stuff like that and everyone tells me oh dont worry about them ur pretty and all that but i cant just ignore them they go to my school now too

someone please help me figure out something to do (link)
Dear Bullied,
I would just block these girls. By blocking them, they can't IM you anymore, and you can't IM them. It pretty much eliminates contacting each other on IM. If this doesn't work, talk to a counselor about your problems at school. They'll talk to the girls and get everything worked out for you.

Hope that helped!

hey!

first of all, you're a great friend for trying to help her with this. just by letting her know that you support her should make her feel a little bit better. even if that doesn't work, let your friend know that she needs to have a talk with her boyfriend. find out if he is still feeling the same way that she is about him. if the feelings are still there, find out if there was a legitiment excuse for why he couldn't call. try talking to both of them. that's pretty much the only advice that i have...:-/

Hope that helped!

One of my best guy friends, that Ive been friends with for about 4 months now, is the sweetest, nicest, most gernerous, giving guy i know. After all that being said and done, i plan on having only a freind-relationship with him. He has the biggest crush one me and i dont know what to do. I want to tell him how i feel about our relationship but i dontknwo how to say it without him feeling uncomfortable around me when we hang out again. pleas help. (link)
Dear Confused,
If you are afraid that things will begin to get awkward, find out how he really feels about you. If he does really like you, but you still only want to stay friends with him, I would let him know that you think that he is really really sweet and stuff, but you don't want to risk friendship for something more than that, and then not having things work out.

Hope this helps!

He just admitted that he likes me, and I sort of like him.. But he has a girlfriend. Ever since he started dating "Ashley", he's been acting really sad & distant. He used to come over to my house all the time & hang out, but now I'm lucky if I SEE him once a week! I've asked him why he's so sad, but he says that nothing's wrong. I know something's up, but I just don't know what. Any advice? (link)
Dear Confuzzled,
If he is cheating on the girlfriend, are you totally sure that he wouldn't cheat on you? Maybe he is confused about who he likes and needs time to figure things out. I would just give things time. If he doesn't seem to be getting any happier, I would talk to him about his feelings. Just tell him that he is a great friend and that you care about him, and just let him know that he has your support. I'm sure if you say something like that, he'll open up to you.

Hope this helps!

yeah i am a big fruit and vegetable fan is it bad not too eat nothing else a part fruits and vegetable in college but my friends they think am on diet when am not or needed for that but they assume just 1 of them (link)
Hey!
Don't worry...I totally agree with you. I am a big fruit/vege fan to, and I'm not on a diet. Just let your friends know that what you eat is what you like. If they keep bugging you about it, just tell them to please respect your opinion about what you eat.

Hope this helps!

there's this guy (yeah, yeah, i know it's not original, but it makes sense this way!) i've liked nearly all this year, and i think he likes me. he's showing all the signs (e.g. choosing seats near me, watching me, then turning away when i see him, etc.) but i'm not sure. see, i nearly always sit near my friend, and i'm sometimes not sure if it's me he wants to be near or watch, etc., or her.i know the obvious solution would be to not sit near my friend, and see what he does, but i don't want to. i really believe in that saying about not choosing guys over your friends, and i don't want to just ditc her. (btw, she doesn't know that i like this guy. we're not close enough for that, but we've been frinds for seven years or something. she's not all that close with anyone else in the class) what would you do if you were me? also, i'm kinda shy sometimes, so i don't wanna just ask him. i know this doesn't leave many options, but... (link)
Dear Me or my Friend,
I have went through this same problem a few years ago. The best way to do things is to make time for both of them. Sit between your friend and your guy. If you and your friend have been friends for 7 years, maybe if you tell her about this guy, she will understand.

Good Luck!

how can i convince my friends to help me move? should i offer food? entertainment? a "i'll help you move" coupon? when's a good time to ask this sort of thing? i'm trying to borrow their trucks too, so i need to do some major sucking up here :) (link)
Dear Moving,
This may sound just downright rude, but it's the only way that I can say this. If they are your friends, they should help you move, without you having to offer them anything. Trucks may be a different story, because of their parents needing them for work or something. But helping to move? Your friends should be offering YOU their help...and you shouldn't have to be begging them. If they really can't help, I would consider paying for a "mover" to come in. He will move everything into trucks and deliver it to your new location for you.

Good Luck!
