I need help! My best friend's birthday is tomorrow, and I don't know what to do with her! I started out thinking a movie, but she doesn't like movies (we don't hang out much, so I wanna do something WITH her) PLEASE HELP! (link)
wake her up EXTREMELY early with balloons and what not, and take her to breakfast, then go shopping and buy her one thing she wants..



Well my ex - boyfriend like broke up with me a few months ago and his friend told me tht he hated me and i didnt do anything to him and i dont believe his friend . uhm well i think i may be starting to like him again but i dont know if i should like talk to him becuz it'll be pretty weird so i dont know wht to do but i really wanna be friends with him . (link)
well before you start deciding whether or not you have feelings.. i would call him up and be like "dude whats this i hear about you hating me.." and then just tell him "look i didnt do anything.. i just want to be cool with you and be friends at least.." and see how he reacts.. it is hard for people to be friends once they broke up.. it depends on the reasons why it ended.. and what not.


good luck girl. (: hope i helped


So, my best friend about 6 months ago moved down to her dad's house.
But she still visits her mom. Which when she does, we planned to hang out.
But when she first moved, she didn't even tell me. I found out from a teacher at school. And she talked to me on myspace, called me, etc. like everything was normal. And then I confronted her about her moving. And she just said "Sorry, I meant to tell you." =/ But I forgave her for that. But she came down to her mom's this weekend. She promised to call me and to hang out. And my friend, Hannah (also her friend), started telling me about the amazing weekend her and Haley (my "best friend") had and how I should have been there. O.o Which is what we planned at first. But I never got the call. And lately she's been telling me she's going to visit and call me, but she never does. I've canceled plans once thinking we were going to hang out, but she never called.
And it's not only that she's not keeping to her word, it's that I feel we are growing apart. And I still at least want to stay friends with her, but I don't know how. Should I try talking to her? Or just forget about it? =/ (link)
Well girl, either shes afraid to hurt your feelings and she just makes plans with you to make you think you guys are still close (trying to make it easier for herself that is..) OR she just keeps you around enough so when she gets sick of hanging with hannah or any of her new friends she can come to you knowing that your just waiting there for her. Go out and hang with the girls who wont let you down. Cause honey that isnt a best friend if isnt honest with you. A true friend will always be there be completely honest, help you in any situation no matter how far apart you are.

when i was younger, my "best friend" from elementary school (who i thought was gunna be my best friend forever) was only my friend til freshman year of high school. She started flaking on me, always said she could hang out but then never called me back like an hour before the plans we made, so i basically would wait. And the minute she was hanging out with other people when she said she was gunna hang out with me, i knew she was no longer a true friend. And it was so hard to find new friends, yet alone a best friend. I now have several good girl friends, and a best friend as guy friend. My ex best friend still calls but its random and like months apart, but i never count on her. If she wants to hang with me she will call me. i dont EVER rely on her.

Enjoy your life, make amazing friends, and party it up because you only live once, and you "best friend" is holding back alittle bit.

good luckkk. cheer up, you to me seem like a true friend and i know that because you cancelled plans for ones that she flaked out on in the end.

take care, hope i helped (:

so there is this girl, "g" and we became best friends ever since the begining of the year. we were both new and she was still attatched to her other two BESTBEST friends, "E" and "A", so we hung out allll the time! and we went to the mall, EVERYTHING together. however, toawrds the end of the school year, she began ditching US, me and my other best friend "M" for her OTHER friends. we fought and then made up and THEN, yesterday, there was this banquet thing and she went to her friend "A"'s house and didn`t come to the banquet. But that day, when we were like, so youre ditching us for HER and she was like yeah. and i was like ok then youre saying we shuldn`t be friends AT ALL anymore? and she was like yeah.
and we were all WTF.

but yeah, i still want to be friends with her but shes not coming back to my school next year and shes going to surf camp with two of her friends this year E & A.

PLEASE HELP;
i still wanna hang with her over summer.
thanks (link)
keep her friendship as just a FRIEND.. you obviously cant count on her if she leaves you hanging like that.. and make sure you dont let her feel like she can have you as her fallback friends whenever she wants.. get to know other people live it up.. shes not worth it i promise.

you can invite her theres absolutely nothing wrong with that.. but if she says no say "okay" and leave it at that.

good luck my dear (:


long story short me and my best guy friend felt each other up the day after his girlfriend broke up with him. he was cheating on her with me but nobody knew it. i told one of my friends that we felt each other up because she had been teasing me about not getting any, but thats not why i felt up the guy, i felt him up because i liked him alot and he was finally single. ok so i told my friend because normally she's a down to earth person who can keep a good secret. my guy friend really didn't want anyone to find out because he was still in love with his ex and wanted to get back with her. now for some reason three months later this b***ch decides to tell all of our friends, including the guy's ex that I SAID we made out and that he cheated. first of all, we never made out, i never said that, i don't lie, and he did cheat on his girlfriend but absolutely nobody knows that except me and him. so everyone thinks im a liar because when they asked the guy about us making out he denies it because we didn't do it, therefor making me look like a liar because "i said we made out". the guy was PISSED at me for telling people because he believed this girl who said i said all that b.s. well after 2 months of this drama, the guy finally realized im right and apologized to me and now we're better friends than before. meanwhile this girl and his ex keep telling more and more people that im a liar, im not a liar, she's the F'n liar. i've walked in on them twice talking about me. im about ready to punch this lying rumor spreading bitch but she has 3times the muscle i have (im about 105lbs, she's about 150 pure muscle) and she's about 5 inches taller than me, and could deffinately kick my ass. im not friends with her or his ex anymore because of this yet i still see them all the time because my 2 other bff's didnt want to get involved in the drama, even though they were on my side, so they're still friends with them. i don't know what to do about this. part of me is just saying "fuck it, i got my guy back" and the other part is still furious with her because she just keeps continuing this bull shit drama. help me deal with this girl. this drama started in February!!! (link)
okay first off i dont blame the girl for it and you shouldn't either. technically you took her man and now you've got him back so im sure shes just gunna run her mouth because shes still upset by it.. if you let it get to you then shes gunna continue.. worst case you need to walk right up to her and say lets TALK. no attitude be cool about it.. and tell her exactly how it went. remind her that you "dont care if she believes you or not, and that your trying to be the bigger person by talking about it instead of fighting about it" let your man know you want to speak to her..

hope i helped! oh and technically you werent cheating.. it says up there you never made out but you "felt eachother up" when they broke up.. so thats not cheating.. if you kissed him and what not then okay yes it is cheating.. just wanted to clarify..

good luck my dear (:


ok theres this girl "cindy" who i've known for a few years. shes a little annoying, but now we're in a summer camp together so we've been hanging out more than usual. well now my boyfriend told me that shes been calling him and saying stuff about me... not really mean stuff, but like shes trying to get him to say something bad about me. and she keeps asking him if he thinks these other girls are hot, or who he would like if he wasnt going out with me. i think shes hoping he'll say something that would make me mad, so she can tell me what he said and get me mad at him. my boyfriend asked me not to tell her that he told me these things, cuz he doesnt want to get in the middle of any drama. he just told me so i'd know what shes been up to. and i dont want to start a fight with her either, cuz it is kind of stupid. but its REALLY bugging me!! is there anything i can do without causing any drama? (link)
theres no way of avoiding it unless you just strait up confront it.. or you tell your boyfriend that if he doesnt want you to say anything then he needs to be a man and tell her straight up "look stop asking me if i think these girls are hott.. it seems like you want me to ruin my relationship with my girlfriend and im not gunna do that, so if you want to be my friend thats cool but otherwise if you keep being like this then dont talk to me" and thats it.. other wise girl you tell your man "sorry if your not willing to, then i will, but if i do then i know there will be drama, but if you just act like YOU mind then she might just stop all together"


good luckkk. (:

us girls man.. were such drama queens and loveee to ruin others relationships.. why why why!


In about a month, I'm moving half way across the country away from all of my friends. I'm going into highschool so I'm sure it's going to be tough. ANyways, I'm having a birthday/graduation party next week and I want to do something that will make my friends really remember me. any ideas? (link)
have lots of music... if you have a pool then blow up enough balloons to cover the whole pool.. so they can swim through them (just went to a party like that it was so funnn) have food.. have a dance contest..do a volleyball game etc.. i dunno.. thats tough. i mean if there your friends hunny they will remember you regardless your party.. make sure its funn though (:


hope it goes good and good luck at your new highschool! im sure you'll be fine (:

takee careee-


my friend have been great all year and now that ive moved out of state i feel that they are always talking about me and that will forget about me. I want to know if they are talking about me and if they will always remember me and I dont know how to ask them because they may take it the wrong way. Please help me. (link)
you know, its hard to stay in touch with people when you move. But you can always pick up the phone, and call them, talk for a few. One night when your talking to them. just be like "dont ever forget me fool" like your messing and laughing, but being serious. Life goes on, and as hard as it may be, true friends wont ever forget, so if they do, then you'll know how true they were. good luck dear (:


17/f.

My friends birthday is on monday and she's turning 18. They all want to go to a hooka bar. She said you don't have to do it, its just fun going down and watching people do it.

I've never been to a hooka bar so I don't know much about it. I know what it is, but is it bad for you? Also, I don't know if my parents will be up for it so how do I tell them. If I go I probably won't do it anyways but my parents won't believe me probably. And anyways, I'm unsure about going. How old do you have to be to go? How old do you have to be to do it? Is it bad for you? What should I tell my parents? (link)
hey there. you know i've been in plenty of situations where my friends did stuff that i wasnt too sure of doing, and i was scared to tell my parents.

i've never done drugs.. except hooka. and its honestly not bad. i was concerned on its side effects so i researched it. its very hard to find online, so let me tell you, its NOT as bad as smoking like "pot" or a cigerette. You can jusst tell your parents something else, like your going out to eat or something. i too have had my share in not telling my parents the whole truth about what im doing, but i've managed to get away with it.

Anyway. if you end up going..which theres nothing wrong with..you can ask the people who work there, what the effects are. im pretty sure they'd know lol.

good luck, i hope helped (:

My friend is ALWAYS sick. Now that it is summer, my friends and I go out alot together and have alot of sleepovers. So we are alwasy with my friend that gets scik. She just recently got me sick. I don't want ot get sick over the summer, so that means I don't want to hang out with her when she is sick. She should be hom anyway, but she doesn't want to miss anything. What can I say to her so I don't have to hang with her? (link)
well..the best thing is.. if its YOU who doesnt want to get sick then dont go. if your not the one whos actually having the sleep over then you cant really have that much of a say on whos aloud to be there.. you know? orrr you can just be like "hey your sick stay home fool i dont wanna get sick" make it like a serious joke. lol shes your friend. good luckkk (:

if you end up going and shes there sick.. just wash your hands ALOT.. dont sleep by her.. dont share food, soda, dont touch at all. that might help

one of my best friends (brylie) is convinced shes in love with this guy. hes rude && controlling... he always her friends we need to give them "more space" when in reality - they have all the "space" in the world. he wants them to be left alone at parties && such. and we've been doing that. he's not really that rude to brylie, he's extremely pushy towards me && the rest of her friends. she's constantly blowing us off for him && making us feel unwanted and unneeded. what can we do?

thanks. ((i'll deff rate you if the advice is good)) =]
&hearts always. (link)
well the best you can do is just give all the advice you can.. if she doesnt take it then its fine. just wait they wont last forever and sooner or later she will realize you guys are right. you have to understand she likes him so shes gunna think hes just the greatest guy ever.. when really friends know best. My best friend will do the same thing. she wont listen to me.. and then in the end shes like "geeze amanada your always right.. yet i never listen" its just how stubborn us girls can be. Try and just understand too where shes coming from. Just be understanding dispite how unwanted and unneeded you may be okay (:

good luck! things will turn around.. all you need to do is give it time.

I really really like one of my best friends ex's. If he asks me out idk what to say! Cause I love my best friend but I really like him too!

And if this helps, my best friend decided to like the same guy I used liked right after I told her I liked him. ( I like her EX now ) And I was really hurt cause she started flirting with him constantly and won him over and now they're going out so she took a guy away from me, would it be wrong to go out with her old ex?! (link)
i think it would. honestly true friends dont do that to eachother. Even though she has you just shouldnt. &&you were hurt when she went and liked the same guy as you.. so i dunno. Even though its her ex. talk to her about it. ask her if he happend to ask you out would it be okay if you said yes. Tell her you like him and the reason your talking to her about it is because you want her to know. Its the honest way to do things. Good luck && hope i helped (:


Well lately I have been feeling sort of excluded. I have this group of 5 other people that I mainly usually hang out with. Lets name them Lucinda, Sabrina, Ashley, Margie, and Maria. Well were all in 8th grade. Lucinda, Sabrina, Ashley, Maria, and I are all in the same class. But Margie is by herself in the other class. Well lately Lucinda and Sabrina have been hanging out alot, But only when Margie is not around. When Margie is around Lucinda and her are like bffe. When Margie isnt around they are like bffe. So when Margie isnt around I feel like Sabrina is using me because Lucinda sorta ignores everyone else [ me Sabrina Ashley and Maria ] when she is with Margie. Same goes for when Lucinda is with Sabrina. Well Ashley and Maria sorta do there own thing most of the time and dont really care about this as much as I do, But they told me that they do notice this and its getting quite annoying. Im sorta stuck in the middle. I mean i hang out with Ashley and Maria when there acting like this, but i wish it was liek the beginning of the year. In the beginning of the year we were all bffe and no one excluded or ignored anyone. I know that this isnt the perfect world and things like this are going to happen but lately its been happenign just a little too much. Can anyone tell me what to do? This has happened once before and I tried talking to them and it was fixed for like 3 days then they started up again. Should i just stick with Ashley and Maria or find a new crew? Please help! Ill rate good. Frankie ♥ (link)
i've defintely been there before. But im now a sophmore in highschool and things will defintely change for you. People do that. Dont take it so rough, meet as MANY people as you can in school. Have more then just those 5 girls.. cause sounds to me like your right she does seem to use you. But thats how it goes. Everyone i know has had that happen. Me? Well 2 out my 6 friends from 8th grade are still my best friends along with the new 4 others. But The other 3 dont even talk to us. It just happens. Be there for all of them, dont bad mouth one of them to another one.. just play it cool. As long as you can always be trusted and yet still have alot of fun. Its all good.

Try having them all over. Your all friends. Tell them ALL about it. Take lots of pictures have girl talk. rent movies..all the funn stuff. Maybe that will make some changes.

good luck (: &hope i helped!

lets just say, if she likes you, then it shouldnt matter what you look like. Thats if she truely cares. Dont let it get to you. If she doesnt like it, then its her loss and there will be someone greater for you next. Good luck buddy


i have many friends but they never call me or ask me to hang out. its always me talking to them or calling them or asking them to hang out. i have a boyfriend who ive been with for almost a year and they have kept in touch with me less and less since ive been with him. i really want my friends back and to make new friends. what can i do? (link)
Well if you wanna get them back then call them up and plan something.. then when there all there, just say something about how they dont call or anything anymore, and that you miss hanging out with them like you used to. True friends will understand. If they dont, then as hard as it may be you'll have to find new friends. Good luck dear


i was hanging out..dating this guy for about 2 months & we had so much fun together hangin out & he was so sweet to me.. we talked about not getting serious and everything since he was going pretty far away for college.. then he went on vacation with his friends for a week and came back & i went to a party at his house and he barely talked to me.. and now he never calls me and we havent hung out for like a month..was he using me or what ?.. i dunno what to do i really miss him!! ..it freaking sucks! (link)
He might not have been using you, its more like he just realizes he doesnt wanna be in a relationship with anyone, cause hes going away for college and everything. The vacation gave him some time for him to think, and that really made him realize alot of things. As much as it hurts you and everything you'll have to let go. But first talk to him and ask him whats up with you guys.Its better to ask now when you still see him and can talk to him, then waiting and never getting the chance. Good 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? (link)
Trust me i've been there. If i were you, just tell him everything about your family, give him a heads up. Make it so its funny and he'll laugh but he will know what to expect. Everyone has weird families. lol good luck


Me and this girl have been friends for like ever (well since like elementary school) anyways, we botth have made more friends, and we share alot of the same friends. anyways my real problem is that i feel that she would rater hang out with them than me. she invites them over like all the time. she hasnt invited me over since like the summer. i know this probablymakes me sound jelouse and selfish, but i just wish she would spend more time with me. what should i do. i dont want to tell her that i feel left out, cuz i iwll feel stupid. i reallyneed help please (link)
aw im sorry. well you cant like not tell her, then she wont ever know. my best friend does the same thing. but through everything we are still best friends. At school were with completely diffrent people. But yet our friendship never changes. If you REFUSE to tell her then just still be there for her, when you think your getting on her nerves just play it cool n stuff, sooner or later she will come around and you guys will hang out like before. Sometimes friends just need a break from their friends. its ok.
hope i helped
