Ok there's this girl that i really like and every time i see her i can't think of a damn thing to say it's like i loose the ability to speak, If she asks me something i can answer but thats about all i can say, I really need help cause i don't want her to think I'm not interested just because i don't talk much when I'm around her.

Well we often to get that feeling when we like somebody a lot but find it hard to talk to them. What I suggest is just putting all that behind you. Think to yourself... You only live once! You might as well take every oppotunity that comes your way. Say what the hell and just think of how much you like her. If you don't talk to her then she will think your not interested. Do your best I know its hard but talk about little things like what was on TV last night. Build a what I like to call "Free Speech" relationship with her. This means try and come to the point where you can say anything to her. At the moment she probably thinks your being cold towards her, like I said you only live once if you like this girl you gotta talk to her. You don't gain anything by being shy. good luck xx

I handed my notice in at work due to several reasons. They said that if I finished a few tasks off that I could leave on the Monday and not do the full weeks notice. I finished on the Monday after finishing what they told me to do but they rang on the Tuesday to say I had not completed the tasks. To my knowledge I had and now they are not paying me for the full week. Can they do this?

Well technically they probably can as in your initial contract it probably said you have to work a full weeks notice. This arrangement that they gave you I presume was only an oral agreement... which are worth nothing, not legally binding like your employment contract is.

I'm 14 i have bluish green eyes, long dark hair, and tan skin. although i have been told by guys that i am pretty, they all say they could never date me because of my body. i am 5'8 130 LBs (a size two pants) with a size B cup. i have never met a guy who liked tall girls. i am starting to get selfsonscience. HELP!

Well first of all you sound gorgeous, with a figure like that you could become a model. But you need to realise that you are still young and guys of your age are still growing in height. This may be a big issue now but when your older it will not be such an issue. But as for now make the most of your height. Its better than being small... Trust me on that one. Good luck my dear and take care x

I am a 17 year old girl. I do not come from a poor family on the contuary i am well off. The thing is that i have a habit of stealing be it from mobile phones which i have now about four,i also steal all of my aunt's clothes and her baby's clothes. The last thing i stole was a video camera from my school.For the previous things i stole they suspected me. Once even the police came to school for i was a suspect for stealing a teacher's cell phone. My parents knows about my problem and the threatens to tell my boyfriend if it continues but really i cannot seem to be able to stop. I sometimes give these stolen stuff to other people and rarely keep them 4 myself.WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Well it sounds like you are addicted to stealing. This is quite a serious matter as it can lead to legal matters. You need to ask yourself why you actually steal? Is it the buzz? the power? Admitting you have this problem is the first step to solving it. You need to sit down and talk to somebody face to face, maybe a councellor? These can be daunting but it is much better to get this problem sorted out than to carry on stealing. You need to think about how you would feel if people took your things. For example people can have special text messages on the phone that mean a lot to them, you taking them can be very upsetting. Try to stop stealing, good luck and take care x

omg... i am starting to like my bff's boyfriend. i know its bad, but i cant help it. he is really nice and stuff. i know all that me n him can be is friends but i cant help my self. thats really bad to like ur bff's boyfriend. i need help... fast.
i'll rate you .

No it is not wrong to like your friends boyfriend. Its just wrong to ACT on it. What I suggest is that for the time being you don't act on it, this guy could like you back but trying to on with him would only lose you a good friend and is it worth it over a boy? You could maybe wait and see if they break up. But if it was me I'd just try and forget about him, plenty more fish in the sea. Good luck x

hey i wear contacts and i really want colored ones..but im not sure what color would look good on me..is there any way to try it out without buying them first..? Oh and if you think you know a good color..please let me know..I am indian with tan skin..dark brown hair and i have dark brown eyes! thanks!

Hello there, coloured contacts are always great fun. Well to try out my only advice is to go to the opticians and "pretend" you are going to get contacts from them because they sometimes have these things you put over your eyes and you can see how it would change it. But this could be too much hassle. By listening to your description of yourself the best option would probably green, but they themselves may look a little strange. I once had a pair of blue contacts and they made me look like a drug addict. But I say give them a go, my mate got some green ones and totally loved them. Good luck

This guy is new to one of my classes. He's extremely cute, funny, sweet, smart and just really outgoing. He's always asking to borrow my notes, and no one else's. He does anything to try to find a way to sit next to me, too. I can't even tell if our conversations are flirting or just normal chit chat. I'm starting to really like him, but I do have a boyfriend. I just can't help daydreaming about this boy. He's not like any other boy I've ever met and he seems to possibly, like me back. We've only been talking for a a week or so, and I'm just scared if I lead on I like him, he'll back away. Should I just flirt for now or try to be more forward about how I'm feeling?

Well the first thing that you need to consider is how much you actually like your current boyfriend. I mean if everythings fine there (which Im guessing its not) then why go looking for somebody else. But then again we all have feelings for other people even when we are in relationships it just depends on whether you want to take them further. I would guess that this boy probably does like you and if you want him then make a move but a suttle move. Just make eye contact with him, flirt with him in a friendly manner, but make it clear that you like him, but first finish with your boyfriend if thats what you want.
