My brother's girlfriend is coming with my family and I to California for a week. She's 16 and will be sharing a room with me for 7 days. Im only 13 and me and her are kinda close but not that close. So how do I entertain a 16 yr old for a weeK? Like at night what do we talk about .. etc. I'll rate!

You shouldn't feel like you need to entertain her. As for what to talk about, just think up topics in the moment, like whats on TV, movies, sports, school, or anything she brings up. She will most likely entertain herself and may stay out late at night, so you don't need to worry. Just go along with the mood. Hope I helped!

I have a friend who cant keep her mouth shut! She tells everything I say and I always try to remember tp tell her stuff but sometimes i am just itcing to tell someone. I really wanna be her friend but then again I dont NEED her! any suggestions? 5 points for anyone who helps! xoxo

be upfront with her and be sure she understands fully how awful and humiliated you feel. she needs to know how much this hurts you and she needs to know that you are confiding in her out of pure respect and truthfulness. then to test if she truly follows, tell her a lie and see if she spreads it. if not, you can trust her again and if so, she doesn't deserve your trust. try to find someone else you can trust and confide in.

Ok so I'm in 8th grade and there is this 7th grader at my school who has a HUGE CRUSH on me. He's also extremely sweet and the nicest person to me and always wants a hug everytime i see him. He rates a day as good or bad by if he talked to me that day, then it's a good day. But it's starting to get annoying hugging him all the time. But if I tell him this he would be totally crushed. How do I tell him we need to hug eachother less? THANKS!!

you have to be straight up with him. if you are not interested in anything other than freindship, then he needs to know that. you need to make sure he knows how you feel and how much you want to be freinds. but whatever you do, don't say the wanting to be freinds part like... "i hope we can still be freinds" because those words in that order seem to fill the person with doubt. so be straight up and be yourself!

hi my mom has cancer, and i have told my friends but only reluctantly about it and this was a while ago. I only didnt want to tell them because i didnt want for them to feel sorry for me. i dont need that. I was so sad when she first told my family. I havent cried since excpet when she accidently made me read an article about cancer and it was all about bad stories and unhappy endings, not what i needed to hear. my parents havent ever tried to talk to me about it but i am not the kind of person to talk openly. I try to keep it off my mind and think about what i can do, and try to be helpful. what i can basically. but at a sleepover my friends talked to me about this and they sort of emplied that i wasnt as concerned and sad as i should be. do you think I am handling this well? what do you think i should do? please dont give me something like, just talk to your friends, thanks that'd be great!

talking to your freinds is not a good idea all the time. you can make yourself and your freinds have more pressure than necessary. you should talk to your mom, and not about cancer. you don'r need to be open. just ease inro a conversation on how your day was and about your freinds and start to open up to her. then maybe she will open up to you. also, be sure you are always a good listener when she talks to you about it. if you can prove you want to talk about it, then she may open up

There's this one girl in my group of friends who moved into town after we all became friends and we sort of accepted her into the group. The thing is, she's always the subject of our joking and teasing, because sometimes she is really bossy and gives empty threats randomly every three seconds (like I borrow her pencil and she says, "Give me back my pencil or I'll punch you soo hard!" even though we all know she never will) sometimes I feel sorry for her, but she gets on my nerves a lot. What do I do?

confront her. it is the onl way for her to know you don't like the way she is treating all of you. but no matter what you do, never play the "we accepted you into our group" card. that makes people feel useless am uncomforable. also, stand up to her. edge her on saying "go ahead" and make her fall into her place, besides, if she ever followed through, she would get in a ton of trouble, so stand up 4 your self.

HOW do i become more outgoing?! I want to get more friends and be funny,instead of a shy good girl!! can anyone help? thnx!

i know where you are coming from. i was in the same position. whatever you do, DO NOT BECOME A SLUT!!!! it will make you loose all respect as a human being. just put yourself out-there. if there is a group is in the halls talking and you want to join, walk up and join the circle and the convorsation, unless it makes you uncomfortable. people like a girl with spunk!!

how do you know if a girl is lying to you like when you ask them out and they say something. How do you know if they are telling the truth or lying to make you feel better??

Being a girl myself, i can truthfully say there are not many ways to tell. see how they react. if they look around at first, as if looking for a freinds advice, they most likely feel bad for you. if they jump to a yes or if they seem in shock and very excited, they obviously really like you!! look for some body langauge before you ask, too. if they seem to stare at you without you saying anything or if they seem to try to get close to you by moving their group, or if they giggle when you walk by, they probably like you, so it wouldn't be out of sorrow.
