Ask a serious question if you want a serious answer. Chances are, I'm older than most of these kids who think they have a degree in psychology. I can offer real advice, just drop me a note. Bullshit questions (and I can tell) will be either mocked or ignored completely, so ask at your own risk.

OK i'm not blonde but it's just an expression. I think this is how people see me... just a dumb brunette. A lot of people say that I remind them of Jessica Simpson. In some ways I'm flattered (shes pretty, nice, funny, has an amazing husband) but also she acts ditzy. I know I do a lot of the time too but it isnt on purpose. I say things being serious and others think I'm joking... when really I dont know. Also whenever I'm hanging out with people I am ALWAYS the person who gets made fun of. I try not to let it bother me and I know I dont show it that often. what do I do with this?? (link)

In my opinion (always just an opinion) I think you're doing things backwards. Let them know it bothers you. Maybe not when you're in a big group of kids and someone cracks a joke and someone ends up making fun of you, because letting them know right then that it hurts you could be bad. However, you should take your friends aside individually when you think about it and just let them know what bothers you.

mmmk.....well i've liked this guy for eh 3 yrs i think and we r pretty good friends. i like him A LOT but am scared to make a move cus i dont kno if he likes me. i keep getting mixed signals and stuff from him so i have no clue how he feels. its driving me freaking crasy. i have no way of getting in touch with him cept for AIM and he is never on! i have asked his friends to tell him but they never get around to it and i just really need to have a way to tell him b4 its too late! the reason i didnt tell him during skool was because i dont like rejection(even tho it happens i kno) and i felt like i was being pressured to tell him. also if he did like me and ask me out i would go otu with him but whenever we broke up i wouldnt want our friendship to b akward or not b friends at all. what to do?!

If you have no way of getting in touch with him, perhaps you should begin looking for someone that you CAN keep in touch with.

Ok i need some help. I'm 15, 5'2, kinda pretty I guess?? not the prettiest and not the ugliest girl in the school. The problem is that I'm shy. I know people tell me this all the time. I'm not shy around my friends at all, but when it comes to meeting new people I just dont know what to talk about! Nothing comes to mind when I'm around new people. and i dont want to say something stupid like "wow the weather is nice" or whatever. Help me! What should I say?? How do I become more outgoing with people? I think If i were more outgoing I might meet new people and meet new friends. am i right or wrong? (link)

You've got the right idea, kid. Be outgoing. Go out more often. Hang out with your friends at social events more often. If you've met someone new, find some way to compliment them. It's cheap, I know, but it'll get them on their good side and there's a good chance they'll be the ones to start your next conversation. Pay attention to new people; close attention. Find things you have in common and point them out. It really helps, I guarantee it.

how do u tell when people are flirting (link)
|
Just ask them if they're interested. You can't go on assuming someone does or doesn't like you. Asking can't hurt any. If they say no, say "I'm sorry, I got the wrong impression." If they say yes, act on it.

well my friend really annoys me should i tell her that or what (link)
|
Don't say flat out, "You're annoying me." Instead, say it nicely. "Hey, chill out a bit," or "That's enough." Everyone has friends that bother them. As long as they don't know they're bothering you, they'll keep it up.

As an update, I just read tinibikini's "advice" (sue me if I got the username wrong) and I'd like to say that that is absolutely terrible advice. Why in the world would you want to lose your friend? If letting her know throws some bad wind between the two of you, discuss it. Don't lose a friend just because she bothers you sometimes.

here it goes my friends that are mad at me keep calling me and saying that they gonna make a fool out of me and i noe they will cuz they so friggin mean well do u noe what i should do. (link)
|
First things first: stop calling them your friends. People that are willing to do this sort of thing to another person are not your friends. Second, just ignore them. People will be mean all your life. If you let it get to you, it'll only get worse and worse.

First off, drop the pride.
So you had friends at your old school. So what? New place, new beginning, new everything. You didn't start off with that many friends at your old school. You had to make friends with people. Try it.
