I sent a few nudes to a guy I met online and he's sent me money in return for them and now he's blackmailing me saying if I don't send him something else then he'll post all my pics on the internet.. Is there anything I can do to stop him? Can the police do anything? (link)
Yes, the police can handle it. I suggest contacting the police before he does anything worse.

Good luck and take care,
Christina.


I really like acting and have been doing it for a while. I want to get into the industry but it is hard to find legit auditions that don't have over a thousand kids auditioning without an agent and to get an agent you need to first mail in headshot/resume and then they might call to set up an interview. The problem is that agencies receive so many applications they randomly throw away about 92 % of them and then look at that 8 %.so i am wasting paper and chances are if i send a hundred of them , Only 8 will be looked at by an agent and I might not be that face they are looking for. So it is a cycle. How do I start in this industry.( please don't say buy a handbook or just perform in theater and ill get around cause it is not working) (link)
Well, do you have experience in acting? If not, I suggest you put the acting industry on hold for awhile. When I say experience, I mean doing local plays, commercials, etc. It's a higher chance that you'll be chosen if you have experience. I am an actress and I learned that the hard way, haha.

So my mom has a boyfriend that she's had for 13 years now. He has a son that i do not think of as a brother.i have had a crush on him for many years now. His son in a few years older then me, but I'm also over 18. I would like to tell him that i have had a crush on him n think sexual thoughts about him at night. We don't see each other very often but I'm dying to know if he feels that kinda way about me. Im not sure about it because some signals he sends seems like he's flirting but I'm not positive. I don't know how to ask him or tell him. Please help me somebody. (link)
Your mom and his dad aren't legally married though, right? If they aren't, you should tell him in the best way possible. Try not to make it awkward, but get your point out there.

Good luck and take care,

Okay, so like 2 weeks ago I ask this guy I liked to come bowling with me and some of my co-workers. He said yes the firs time I asked him and when he gave me his number and I texted him if he was still coming, he asked what time, I told him and he didn't say anything. So we had to changed the time we were going and I texted him the new time and he never got back to me. So, we still went bowling and I haven't heard from him. I haven't texted him since than, and my friends think that he might think that I'm mad at him for not going but I'm not, its whatever. So, I still really like him, and should I text him, and if I do what should I say? Cuz, I feel like if I don't say anything, nothing is really going to happen... (link)
Don't think of it as him not being interested in you, because he could just have phone troubles haha. I suggest that you text him, because it shows not only him but you that you're trying.

Good luck and take care.

Okay so I'm 15, recently started year 11 and this boy has just asked me to prom (which is not until next July). He's quite shy and I think he only really asked me because his friends convinced him but apparently he REALLY likes me (he does go pretty red when he sees me and I catch his staring at me quite often).

Anyway, people are starting to say that he should ask me out but I'm not sure if he will - or if he even realises that I really like him... Since asking me to prom nothing has changed with us, we still act pretty much the same (although most of the year now gossip about us so we've been discussing that a fair bit).

We're both quite awkward people and I don't think he'll have the courage to say anything but I kind of want him to know I like him. I'm really not sure if he's likely to ask me out or at least ask for my number or something? Not sure what to do... (link)
Try to build your friendship and when the time is right, tell him. It won't be as uncomfortable when you're closer to him and it's a higher chance he will like you too (Or like you more). If you currently don't have a close friendship, try to build one. I know how hard it is to builf a friendship someone when you're kind of an awkward person (I was in this exact situation), but I believe in you :).

Good luck and take care.

The boy friend wanted to take a break from the relationship of 5 months he had certain issues in his head about us
To much to fast and feels smoothered we need to take a break
But 2ninutes before he said thst he sent me a text from the site where we first met and sent me a fluirt thinking it was funny

We saw each other tonight with his son
When I told him I him I missed him he paused and then said why we text everyday
I responded I miss you anyways it's one thing to text everyday but its different from when you don't see them
I want to know if taking break also means breaking up (link)
I think it means to stop being a couple for awhile, but coming back to the relationship. I would just wait and see when he talks to you again, and question him about it.
Good luck and take care.

So i dropped my ipod from a roof at its screen got destroyed, the screen worked but i had giant cracks and everything else worked fine. Then my father tried to fix it and successfully fixed it, but destroyed my wi-fi antenna. Another slight problem was when i pressed on the left side of the ipod it would go white...3 days later i dropped it again and it slightly cracked, the white screen got worse and now my ipod got stuck with it, i have to press really hard to make it colorful again...is there something i can do??
(link)
It seems like there is nothing else you can do except to get a new iPod. Or, if there is one located near you, I suggest taking it in to the Apple Store.
Good luck and take care.

Hii... 14\F I really like this guy , I dream of him and think of him 24\7. I tried but I just can't get over him. he is turning 19. He allways tell me he likes me and loves me, but i dont really know if its true! he lives far away, but me and his sister are really good friends. He held my hand before but just for like 3 min. He is really cute with dark brown eyes and brown hair and his smile is awesome! He have the cutest little dimples. Should I tell him? Im afraid he is not gonna like me back?? (link)
You can tell him if you'd like, but I recommend you not to. He's 5 years older than you, and an adult. He may be "in to" someone. Plus, you mentioned you live far from eachother. I understand that you can't stop thinking about him, but it seems like you don't know that much about him. You should try finding someone a little bit closer your age.

I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's best. Good luck and take care.

How can I get demi lovato fanmail? :) (link)
Hello there,

I'm guessing you would like to send her some fanmail? Well if you do, here's her fanmail address:

Demi Lovato CESD Talent Agency 10635 Santa Monica Blvd. Suite 130/135 Los Angeles, CA 90025 USA

I received an autograph from her a few years back. Also, I just wanted to say that you may not get one back in return because of how well-known she is, but people say the average wait is 3+ months. Good luck! :)

Hi ... 14 F ( english is not my home language so sorry) So as you can see i'm a teen. I'm madly inlove with my bf. He is one of those bad boys but is very cute and nice. Yeasterday we chilled and he held me and my hand and so on. But i'm going away for two weeks and i'm scared he wil forget me! how do i tell him that i'm scared of that ? coz u know guys they'll just say there's nothing to warry about..... Also there's this girl who can't keep her hands off of him. help me pleez (link)
Like the previous answerer said, relationships don't work without trust. You have to trust him. If he loves you so much, he shouldn't be a problem. However, you said he's a bad boy so you might have sonething to worry about. Tell him to tell that girl to leave him alone and that he has a girlfriend.

The one thing I love the most is acting, I'd love to be a successful actress in the future, but it's my confidence. I find it easy to do anything in front of close friends, but when I'm faced with the whole world, my confidence goes down a tad bit. It doesn't stop me, but I panic and get myself worked up. I did Drama at school, I would say I was successful but my the fact that my confidence went down, it got the better of me. I used to go red a lot when I acted out a play, and I sometimes still do when I do things. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice tips, especially how to build my confidence up, thank you. (link)
I love to act too and I'm 15. I have an anxiety disorder, so sometimes it is very hard for me to act on stage or in front of the camera. You said you love acting, right? Keep that in mind when you're doing so. Know that you're doing this for yourself and it's something you love to do.

So I'm 13yrs old and I know for a fact that my dad is cheating on my mom...so I kinda know at first but know I clearly know that it is true because I have evidence...so I went to my dads phone and went straight to the messages and I saw this number so then I clicked on it and it was my dad having a conversation to the ugly lady..i know because she sent pics...but anyways she called him big daddy!! Yupp that awsome but I was soo mad... I told my mom about less than a month ago so she Knows.. And she was crying and I felt bad so I have the lady's number and I am going to call it in the morning to see Wat happens so everybody wish me luck..... Oh and YES I know that this is know of MY business

(link)
Calling her would just bring your family into danger. What do I mean by that? Well your dad will know you know about his cheating ways. That could put your relationship with your family at risk. Don't call her if you don't want your family to fall apart.

Ok. So I was in Marching Band last year (my 8th grade year, going to be Freshman) and i met a guy (Sophomore, going to be Junior) We didn't really become friends till AFTER field season. It was at a districts performance, we started talking about a TV show we both like. After i performed (Color Guard show for me. He was there to perform with our Drumline) he gave me a thumbs up. Then at a pops concert we talked, and i bravely asked for his number. He gave it to me. I was in a weird dress for my show and i told him i felt awkward in it he said "Don't worry you look good"(We texted alot after that.) I performed and he told me I did great. Awhile later (different day) We had grown pretty close, I texted him if i dressed like a slut. (My friends kept telling me i did the day before and i was upset and wanted to talk to him) he replied "I don't think you dress like a slut your beutiful" I thought that was a sweet of him to say. I was talking to him another day asking him if he's looking forward to graduate in two years he said not really, I asked why and he said becuase he'd be leaving me. I asked why and he said I was special and that he's comfortbale talking with me and that he doesn't talk to a lot of girls. The big thing though was today. I went to a music store, and he happened to have saxophone practice today. I was talking to the owner about french horns when he walked in (I havent seen him in awhile) and he waved awkwardly at me, i did the same and the owner looked back and forth between us, shocked. He asked me if i knew him and i nodded. They boy went to go practice and i ended up being given a lesson. We left our seprate rooms at the same time. I put the french horn away (I was borrowing it for the half an hour) and was moving to give the owner the mouth piece, but the boy walked up to me and held his arms out to hug me, he said some words but i forgot what they where. I hugged him happy. I then left, smiling the rest of the day. We have never really broken the touch barrier like that before and he initiated it. He also told me this year was the best of his life so far because he joined band and got to meet me. I think I like him(I'm not sure 100%) but does he like me? I'm confused, Please don't say anything about age. (link)
It's a possibility he likes you, but you two could just be really good friends. He hasn't shown much of the signs - Well, he could just not know how to act around you. He did say he doesn't talk to a lot of girls. Anyways, just try to stay friends for awhile and see what happens.

I am 13 years old and I talk to spirits in my head. They dont reply. I just tell them to keep my family safe and healthy (kind of like my form of a God). It scares me and whenever I wall into a room I have to tell them not to harm me. Is there a name for this (like a mental illness)? Ive never told anyone about it before, should I seek help? By the way, i have OCD if that could have anything to do with it. (link)
It might be a mental illness if you thought this was okay; And you don't. Therefore it is not a mental illness.

However, I do think you should talk to someone about this because this could affect you when you're older. My friends' mother did this as a child and now has severe anxiety. I highly suggest talking to someone about it now.

I'm 18 years old, and I work part-time after school. A few months ago, this new guy came in. He's a bit older than I am, and really funny and very cute, and I immediately took a liking to him.

I didn't think he'd ever be interested, but we started talking and he's asked to hook up. I have a few concerns;
1. He's in his 20s, and I feel like hooking up to him is sex. I don't feel comfortable going all the way with someone that I'm not even dating.
2. I like his personality, and I worry that getting physically intimate will cause me to develop feelings for him.
3. I gained a lot of weight recently. I'm just barely overweight, and you can't really tell how big I am in clothes. If I were to take anything off, I'm sure he'd notice some... trouble areas...

So, what should I do?

Thanks :) (link)
If you don't feel comfortable doing this, then don't. If you want to have a REAL relationship with him, tell him that and take it slow. He should understand that. If he doesn't, then he's not the perfect guy for you. Date him if he respects you and actully likes you. :)

Good luck,

Long story short, my roommate is AWFUL. She uses up my groceries, leaves a mess everywhere, and purposely goes in the bathroom whenever I get home from work because she knows I need to shower. Those are only a couple examples. We have a house together and only a couple short months left. However, I need a way to get some type of revenge on her. We've had plenty of conversations and arguments about ways she needs to change- she doesn't even have anything against me- and it never helps. Don't bother preaching to me about how revenge isn't the solution- I've made up my mind. However, it can't be the type of revenge where it's obvious I'm trying to mess with her.. that'll just bite me in the butt. What ways can I make things difficult for her but she can't be absolutely positive I had something to do with it? (link)
Make rules with her. It should help.

And, well, the revenge thing... This should help:

-If her things are where your things are supposed to be, move them in a random place. That should get her really pissed off.

-If she's always in the bathroom when you come home, move all her stuff out of the bathroom. Then, she won't have a reason to be in there.

When she finally mention it, say something like, "We talked about this, and this isn't your house. I'm your roommate and we both deserve to live here - Including me. So stop trying to make this your house."

Good luck,

If you tricked the cops into thinking that there was a murder or something like that by using ketchup as blood, or something like that, I don't know, and you time the cops on how long it takes them to get there, and somehow get the news reporters on your side, to teach the cops to do their job correctly, could they arrest you? Would they stick you in jail for a few years? How would they react to that? Has anyone ever done something like that?

I am sick and tired of hearing stories of people like the three women found this week, and Jaycee Lee Dugard. It makes me so angry. I want to see the cops embarrassed into doing a PERFECT job, or getting fired. Their job is too fucking important for them to be lazy. Way too fucking important... (link)
Yes, they should put more effort in their job. However, that would be a false report and you would get arrested.

Like the previous answerer said, I think you should write a letter. They WILL read it, so maybe they will take it into consideration of hiring better cops or teaching them how to wake up.

Good luck,
-Christina


I an 13 and I want a baby but, I don't know what to do what should I do (link)
Are you crazy? 13 years old is too young!

A lot of young girls want children, but you can't have them. Who will raise it? Who will feed it? Who will take care of it? Not you. You have school. I'm pretty sure your parents won't, either.

You're too young. Wait until you're 20, at least.

Well I have this "best friend"
I dont even no what she is really. we both have done so pretty fucked up stuff to one another, sutff that it acutlaly extremely interesting and fucked up beyond believe but that would take another paragraph to explain ( email me if you want the story, it is very unique) But all and all, I love her. latley tho, things have been the rockiest the ever have been. but i am still holding on. I dont even think I like her very much anymore, but I keep remeber our past and how good she was to me than, and I am hoping this is just a phase for her. I mean, she isnt mean to me at the moment, she just... lies around aloot. And her values are a bit fucked up. But with me, we are still best friends. Its just when we are in different places do I realize she may not be treating me right. Why i think this is a phase is because this all started when she started going out with this guy pete. ever since they have gone out, she like protiztizes him first and that sucks. So i am just trying to get people opinions what to do... should i keep around this girl who was amazinng to me before her bf , and although she still isnt BAD to me persay, she puts me 2nd...which is a super bad feeling. Idk. its just hard to place someone first in your life and than be placed second in theirs... but does that mean u take a break? or deal?

I left way to much out, so if you are turly interested in my story. shoot me an email. more than happy to share.
thanks! (link)
She doesn't really sound like a good friend. I'd stop hanging around her and see what she does. Like the other answerers said; People change. If she truly misses you, start hanging around her again (And tell her that she keeps putting you second).

Good luck!
-Christina


What do I do if no teacher or anybody cares if someone is bullying me? (link)
If it's physical abuse, such as punching, go to the police. They will handle it.

Have you talked to your school counselor? He/she will be able to help you no matter what. Then the principal will know about it and they'll suspend, most likely expell, them. Which is good.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Nobody should have to. Good luck, and I hope you tell the counselor or police :)
