2 ethiopian sisters came to my school. Someone managed to take them out of their home and get them to a safer place. They don't know english. Only 'Hi'.
And there's this group of black girls who keep attacking them I guess. They fought with them.. for basically.. no reason.
These two girls didn't do anything! Should I go to the office and tell them that they need a security person watching out for them?
I don't know what to do.. but I don't want people physically hurting them. I mean ... words won't hurt if you don't understand. (link)

First of all, bravo for realizing that someone is mistreating these two girls. I, personally, think that you should definitely talk to some sort of adult; but at the same token, don't advertise that it's you who's helping these girls. You don't want to jeapordize your own safety. When choosing an adult, you should choose someone with higher authority. Like the principal (like you suggested earlier!)... but don't take immediate action. Make sure that whoever you're talking to, you trust not to get you, or those girls into any MORE trouble. I don't think that these girls need security guards... but maybe the principal should talk to these girls... and have the teachers on the look-out for any sort of trouble that they could potentially be getting into. I hope that this helped you!

About 3 months ago me and my ex broke up. We had only gone out a little over a month and he broke up with me cause of some other girl he liked. But we managed to still be good friends and we hang out and stuff, but with groupd of people not alone. Well the other day he got a new girlfriend, and its been making me really sad. Cause ya see i guess im still not fully over it all. I am 16 and he was my first boyfriend so it was like big to me (not to sound obsessed or whatever) but we had a good relationship everyone said so. I wasnt in love with him cause we didnt go out long enough but i guess just wished it lasted. So how can i help myself get over him. Thanks. (link)
|
1st of all, its ok to be upset about breaking up with someone...that's part of life i guess...
anyway, I recommend having a night dedicated to YOU. Do something fun; read a book; go to the movies with your friends; watch a movie; cook something---anything that makes you feel happy. If you still feel sad about everything, take a piece of paper and a pencil/pen, and list all of the things you like about yourself. Then go outside and SHOUT (yes, I said SHOUT) out everything that you wrote on that list.
However, dont worry about him. There are plenty of other guys out there.... but you just need to give it some time.
Hope I helped!!

I really like this kid i.ve never met him or talked to him. im really shy........how do i start a conversation when the only class we have together is Physical education????????
Help!!!!!!!!! (link)
|
Don't worry. Phys. Ed. is probably the BEST class for conversation starters!! You could always talk 2 him about sports and how great he was in the last game that you played. Also if you did something better then he did, you could give him tips on how to improve

Hey,
last night my best friend called my cell phone at around 10 and told me that her mom has colon cancer. When I heard this i started crying because I know my friend and her mom are really close.
So my question is, what can I say to my friend? I mean i dont really even know how to react to this, its one of those things you never think will happen to you. Does anyone know what the chances that her mom will die are? Thank you so much

Heyy
First, I'm sooo sorry about your friends mom.
Second, I know what it feels like 2 know that your friend's parents or relatives have a disease...believe me, its hard. however, you could cheer up your friend in a lot of ways...go over to her house and make something for her mom. You could do something special to get your friends mind off of her mom. Also let her know that you'll always be there for her.

I've got this amazing friend, John. I always joke around with him and everything with him and my best friend, Deanna, over the computer, but when it comes to actually hanging out.. it's a different story. While Deanna and I constantly are together, John only seems to want to talk to us when it's either conveniant for him, or when it's not in person.
For example, John, Deanna, our friend Alex and I all went to the movies to hang out. Well, Deanna, Alex and I all had a great time. We talked, laughed and everything, but John seemed to just completly be concentrated on the movie only, and when he wasn't, he was texting with some of his other friends. He pretty much didn't talk to us all until one of his newer friends met up with us at the therter..
He has made all these new friends, and I'm fine with him having friends, but he seems to be forgetting Deanna and I. He also seems to be more arrogant, because all of these girls happen to be alot prettier, and more popular than us.
He's just seemed to change.. and I really miss the old John, who I used to be able to joke around with, not having to worry about confrontation.
And I'm not flipping out all of a sudden, either.. This has been an on-going thing, and I've talked to him about it a few times. I don't pin blame or anything, but he's still not getting that he's not being the kindest person lately..
Please tell me what I should do.. I know not to push him away or anything, but.. what do I do to get everything like it used to be?
Thank you in advance, Sam (link)
|
I know that you want your old friend back, but sometimes people just change...believe me, i know what you're going through...
However, if John is really your friend, he'll always come back to you...but for now, maybe you should just let him be.
Don't worry, you'll get through this...don't give up hope!!
Hope i've helped you!

Alright, the reason why i think im depressed is because im sad and crying for no apparent reason, im extremely sensitive to what people say to me that are insults (even if its a joke), i do have some happy moments and days. The crying has last for almost a month, much longer than it was before, so im thinkin i need to see a doctor, but im not sure. Can you guys/girls help me out and tell me if im depressed or not? (link)
|
I get that a lot too. What really helped me was that my mom called my doctor and asked her what theropists she recomended. Even if you just talks to her, it helps.
Here's what my sister thinks.
Some people are just sensitive, it's the way they are. I know a lot of people that are super-sensitive. It's not that you have a problem, it's just that you take things more serious than other people do. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. What I would do is talk to your friends about not joking around insulting you anymore. Like next time they say oh haha your so stupid just be like--can you guys not joke around with me like that please? I really don't like it.
Hope we helped!

I'm 16 years old, 5'2, and overweight. I have some issues controling what I eat. I haven't gained any weight in over a year. I need some advice on some exercises and diets to help me lose weight. I don't have a lot of time to exercise because I go to school and have tons of homework. I do however walk up and down at least ten flights of stairs a day going from class to class during school. Any advice will be appreciated. (link)
|
I know that this is really weird, but pretty much everything you do burns calories; even sleeping and chewing gum!!!! Also, if you have a gym period, you can exercise then. And if your not busy on weekends, you could spend time with your family and exercise at the same time if you feel like going to the park or jogging together.
I hope I helped you!!!!!

Im going school clothes shopping next week and i dont know what i should really look for. I dress kind of plane jane but this year i want to look more stylish and look more grown up. I want to look completely different but not like goth more like preppy. Also, I have no idea what to wear on the first day...we cant wear spagetti straps or skirts above the knee. Thanks in advance :] (link)
| |
Delia's, Aeropostale, Alloy, Old Navy, and a bunch of other stores sell some really cool clothes. They are also really affordable. You can also look at different catologs and stuff because they usually advertise cool stuff.

Hey! School will be starting soon and I want to start off a new year, fresh, organized, and fun. Mostly organized. Any tips? (link)
|
It's great that you want to start with a goal for the school year! If you want to be more organized, use a planner to write your homework in. If you have more than 1 class, get 1 binder for each subject (that's what works for me; i'm in 8th grade). To have a fun year, sign up for different clubs and groups. You'll make new friends and you'll try new things
Hope I helped!!!

My brother has been acting kind of odd lately...
... he thinks that he's a rubber ducky, according to him. When we call him Tom (which is his name) he says "No, Duckie!". My parents think it's just a stage, but he's ten, and I think he should know better...
He won't let anyone in his bedroom, but his rubber duckies, and won't talk to anyone but them. He also won't eat our food, only bread crumbs. I'm really concerned about this, as mental problems tend to run in our family.... (link)
| |
I think that you should consider a theropist for him if his behavior continues or talk to his doctor about if he has a mental disorder or something. Also remember that you are being a really good sibling by being concered.

I'm a 15 yr. old guy and I've recently realized I like one of my best girl friends (Let's call her Rachel). She's a really nice girl-and at one of my friends parties last week, I told my other best friend that I liked Rachel, but I thought she liked someone else at the party (Let's call him Jamie). My friend wasn't sure, and she told me that she wouldn't tell Rachel or anyone else. I've been talking to her a lot on AIM, and I like her even more- but I'm not sure if I should make a move and ask her out, I'm afraid that my heart will be broken once again (already broken thrice by my friend I talked to at the party). Please help!

Take a leap of faith, and thik about asking her out. Most BF/GF relationships start out in friendships 1st. For all you know, she might like you too, but is too scared to ask you out.

Ok, this past year i have had 2 boyfriends. The first one was really great and I liked him alot. We were really close and i thought he cared about me. Then at one of my bff's b-day party's he was invited and so was my other bff. Well, my other bff and him went to look for the girl that was having the party's softball they lost in the woods. A little later they came out and my friend took me to the side and said he had kissed her. I was REALLY hurt. Then in the same day he broke up with me. This was his excuse:" I got my 1st cousin pregnant." Then, later on I found out it was a lie.
The second boyfriend I had was really close to me too. Then, he stopped returning my calls and all my friends were saying he was cheating on me. My bff(the girl the 1st guy kissed) said he had been calling her all the time. She also said she would talk to him for hours at a time. So, it really hurt me that she was doing this to me and rubbing it in my face. I don't wanna lose her as a friend, but why can't i hold on to a guy.....? (link)
| |
I know that this isn't the answer that you're looking for, but I think that you shouldn't trust her very much. She's obviously hurting your feelings and keeps chasing your boyfriends. She knows that you're dating, so why is she doing this to you? Definitly tell her how you feel. A true friend wouldn't do something like that.

Ok,I'm 13(gal)and i babysit 2 boys 3 times a week for about 4 hrs. There 1-1/2 & 6 yrs. old the 6 yr.old will NOT listen, i tell him not to do something and he still does it. Every time i have a problem i tell the dad when he gets home,but he never does anything.I have been babysitting for around 3 years and I've never run into this problem before. I'm thinking about starting a discipline plan.If he acts up i will tell him to go to his room,if he doesn't do that I'll tell him were not going outside that day etc.(i say what i mean and mean what i say).Then if it still doesn't work after a few days I'll tell his mom i cant babysit him anymore.I just cant handle him.I just need to know if other babysitters like me think this sounds good. thanks. (link)
| |
i think that your doing the right thing as a babysitter. if this happens again, deffinatly tell his mom that it's not working out and you cant babysit for him anymore.

14/f. yep, it's another dumb crush question. Tommorow I am going to see a movie with the guy I like and my friend thats a girl. I need ANY tips to attract him to me at the movies. I already know to sit next to him. (My friend told me to drink Coke cause he would like the taste in my mouth. lol). If he tries to make-out with me, it would be my first time... so any tips on that would be good too. (unless you say 'let him lead' or 'go with the flow' or somethin like that... then i dont want it.) =] I RATE. (link)
| |
I know this sounds cheesy, but just be yourself! That's probably the best way to attract people. Also smile a lot and make jokes about certain stuff. He'll like you because your fun to be around and he'll definitly recognize that. Also, if he says that he just wants to be friends, don't rush anything. that would just push him away (I know, I've done that A LOT. LOL :) ).

I'm going to be a freshman at the University of Texas this falls and I have no idea what I want to major in. I know still have like 2 years to decide but I have nothing. I mean, most people have at least an idea or a few things in mind and others have known what they want to be since they were 13. I've already been to orientation and I've spoken with an academic advisor but still nothing. I was just wondering when it was that you guys decided what you wanted to do in life. (link)
| |
Don't worry! I know a lot of people that don't decide what they want to be until their 3rd year of college of AFTER collage. You should try taking a variety of classes and pick out the ones that you really like and pursue those. Also try taking a variety of summer jobs. that way, you have an idea of what you like doing.

I have minor acne and i wear make-up 2 clean it up.My dad says not 2 wear it but i do any way.All my friends say im so pretty and so do random people. i dont think im so preety.I dont care if my friends think im pretty i want this 1 boy jay to think i am.He only likes this 1 girl jasmine who is hawiin and japaneese and so pretty.Does the acne have any thing 2 do with what he thinks of me???? (link)
|
Everyone gets acne....it's part of growing up! I doubt that acne makes a big impact of what people think of u. If people think that your pretty (especially your friends and family), then you honestly must be! I don't think that they would lie to you.

I am a 14/f and I would really like to start babysitting. How can I find people with kids though who are in need of a babysitter? (link)

If there is a local library in your town, you could be able to make a flyer and hang it up on a message board. That way, when adults come to the library with their kids, they will be able to see your flyer and call you.

my best friend (kristy) called me up on the phone the other day and was complaining about how bad her life was and she says everyone hates her and she wants to kill her self i mean this already happend once with another friend but she was serious is kristy serious about killing herself this is the second time she told me!! and the whole thing with her saying everyone hates her kinda makes me feel bad because what am i chop liver?? well anyways what do i do? is she really gonna kill her self or what (link)
| |
I think that you should tell someone what she is thinking of. She needs help to get her life back under control. Also, keep reminding her of how forginate she is to have a loving family and you as a friend. Also, remember that you're being a good friend to her.
