Hey well I am 14 years old, a pretty out-going person, I'm fun, and nice. I have a pretty good perspective on things and that is why I would like to give people advice. So ask away and I'll get back to you.

There's this friend at camp who gets ALL the attention from everyone. Everyone always likes her and most of the time doesn't pay any attention to me. Should I just leave it alone or do something? (link)
Hey , i think you should do something if you want to be friends with this person. Tell her how she is making you feel. But if that "friend" doesnt pay any attention to you then shes not really a good friend.


My best friend is a guy. We both like each other and say I love you and stuff like that. We talk on the phone all the time, but here comes the tough stuff he lives 2 hours away and he has a girlfriend who is one of my friends. See the truth is we are so close, even though this will sound dumb because i am only 13, I can see myself marrying him. Please tell me what i should do. PLEASE!!!!!!! (link)
Hey well i think since you like this guy you should make plans with him and talk to him as much as possible. But dont go over board because you dont want to lose a friend(the person he is going out with). Eventually things with break off and you'll have your chance. I wouldn't worry about it too much because you are only 13!!!As long as you stay close friends with this guy things will eventually work out.


I feel like my friends don't give a damn about me. If I have a great time with someone [which doesn't happen too often] I like to tell that experience to people. I've been talking and talking about my experiences with this team I'm on. They don't seem intrested at all. I need advice badly. But, I see that you've told people to confront their problems and I really don't want to do that. It's awkward for me to just walk up to my friends and say "Hey. How are you? Do you care about me at all?". Thanks, bye. (link)
Hey well i have told alot of people to confront there problems because its true! You don't just have to walk up to them and say, "hey. how are you? Do you care about me at all" and feel awkward about it. You can plan something to make you feel comfortable talk ing about how your friends are making you feel. If you confront your problem head on then you quickly see both sides of this problem. It seems to me that you want a friend that is a good listener and maybe your friends havent gotten to that point yet. If your not willing to talk to them make more friends! Spread it out a little bit. There are so many more people out there that you can be friends with than the same people that you hang out with all of the time who don't make you happy. This doesn't mean that you have to dump your friends.But if you do decide to confront this problem and you friends don't even listen to you than they are not worth it! Find a friend willing to listen to you and have lots of fun with.


Hey katie. I need help because my friend and i were very good friends for a long long time [like since kindy garden!] and ever since i became friends with this other girl 2 years ago, we sort of grew apart and totally stopped talking, which is only normal. but now i dont want her to think that i hate her or anything and we have soo much history and its sort of hard to leave that but i feel like she acts different twards me now and i don't want her to because i'll always love her reguardless of who else i'm friends with. I just wanted to like hang out with her again without it being weird... (link)
Hey, i think that you should call her on the phone or make a plan with her and talk to her and tell her how you feel, like the things you told me. You should tell her that you can always have more than one friend. Remind her of the history that you guys have had. If she is a special friend than she will listen, and hang out with you without it being weird. But also tell her that you don't like it when she acts differently towards you.


I am really worried about my friend. she has been so depressed lately, but she won't tell me what's wrong! How should I deal with this? (link)
Hey i think you should invite your friend over and talk to her. Tell her that your are you friend and that you really care about her. But if she still doesn't talk give her some time, something might be going on in her life that she isn't ready to talk about yet, but make sure you let her know that you are always there for her to talk to.


Hi. I'm a very shy person who just can't seem to overcome that and approach people when making new friends. It's very difficult for me to make new friends because my shyness gets in the way of everything, and I HATE that! I want to become more friendly and out-going so that it will be easy to be making new friends instead of a struggle. If you have any suggestions about how I can be more friendly and out-going then answer this question please, or give me any resources on how to overcome my shyness when making friends-anythings fine with me. I really need your help on this, so please take the time out and answer this question. THANX!!! (link)
Hey dont worry about this. You just have to let go a little and gain some confidence. When making a new friend make sure this person is nice, and outgoing because then she or he can rub this confidence off on you. A good person will reconize that your a shy person but really nice too, and this person will try to get you out of that shell. Hey i am 14 and i use to be realllyyyyy shy and quiet but when you meet the right person like i did you become a whole new person! Good Luck!


hey i have this friend, lets say her name is allie, well me n "allie" are supposed to be good friends, but now that we've grown older, i've matured just a bit more, im not into the stuff she likes any more, like she's more of a tom boy, and i like sports n stuff, but like at the movies and the mall, she HATES goin into stores like claires and forever 21, and anything wit too much "girl" stuff, but i go into stuff i dont like as in spencers and K B toys, she refuses to go where i wanna go, but i go where she wants to just to be a good fair friend,we've kind of split up when it cumz to interest, and i dont wanna be her friend, cuz we agree on almost nuttin, the problem is i live rite behind her in a manner of speaking me n "allie" "share" backyards, and when we start high skool next year, all of our church groups will be help at her house, and if im not her friend, i'd feel awkward, what should i do
also im a soon to be 14 yr old, and her n my sis and her n my bro are GOOD friends, and i just dont want her to get upset because she considers me her Best Friend

sry i've written so much, and if its confusin lemme kno and ill try to edit it!

Confused in Concord (link)
Hey well this is a problem but i think we can fix this. You should talk to her and tell her how you feel about this, and find some new common interest or just try to compromise with each other since your going to be seeing each other alot.And if she is your friend she wont get upset with for saying how you feel.


i have a friend, lets say her name is "alyssa" well me n alyssa have been best friends for about a year, now weer goin to dif high skools, and i think she's tryin to tell me that she doesn't wanna be BFF just friends, and i mean thats aight wit me, but i just wish she'd say it, instead of beating around the bust

should i just wait for her to make it clear
is she just actin weird
should i say sumthin to her

idk
plz help me!!

im a 14 year old gal if that makes any difference (link)
Hey! Well I think you should talk to "Alyssa" and confront her about how you feel about your friendship. She is your best friend which means you guys can talk about anything. And if "Alyssa" doesnt want to be your friend then its her loss. But you should get through it.
