Q: My friend is not really bipolar, but she acts like it. One day she will be nice and funny to me and everything will be good then a few days later she acts totally different like doesnt talk to me as much and stuff this happens alot What should I do?

your friend could be going through a lot, maybe they are moody because of a home situation? or something happened thats killing them inside? you should ask her whats wrong and confront her with mood swings [dont use the term "bipolar" in your confrontation-she could get mad] and tell her your there for her if she wants to talk. then let her decide.

Q: Ok, So I am 13 years old and since May 2005, I have found myself madly in love with no other than a 20 year old McDonalds worker. He has started to open up a little more in the past couple of months, and he gives me lots of hugs, flirts, and shows all the "signs" of love back. Yet he has never told me. This week we are supposed to go to the movies. My question is, Should I open up and tell him I love him or should I just wait until he does?

ok..so i would deffinatly not go..my sister was 15 and the guy she loved was 29..and he did the same thing..he made her head over heals--then rapped her..so id think twice about this

Q: so i really like this guy and i want to ask him to this dance but i dont think that he likes me at all he never really talks to me andi have known him for the longest time what should i do can you please help me i rate high!

i think you should go ahead and ask. but if your too scared or nervous to (like me) then have a friend find out if he likes you, if he does then its a safe zone and ask him to the dance if not then ask if he wants to go as friends. either way you would get to go with him! =)

Q: yesterday me and my friend were supposed to walk home because we would come back at 3:00 from a field trip and the buses usually leave at 2:10. so on our way home from the trip, she was on a seperate bus and i guess and i didnt know about this until later but she asked people to give us rides home and she couldnt get one but then she asked a friend of hers and the friend said she wasnt sure but shell ask. so when we got back to school i went to my locker and then i walked to find her and i saw her with that friend. then igo to her hey are we still walking home and shes like i dont know i might have a ride. so then i got pissed and left and went outside to try and give my mom a call so she can pick me up but she wouldnt answer cause she was at work. then she comes out with the friend and the friend's dad was there and the friend asked if they could give her a ride and i guess the dad would and my friend left with her other friend. i got really mad ..should i even be this mad? i mean she did ditch me and not even ask me if i needed a ride and she knew that my parents werent gonna be home and we already planned on walking home. and we live like across town from the school. but at the end i did find a ride home with a friend.. should i have the right to be mad?

YESS! you have the right to be mad. what kind of friend leaves you hangin? she left you and saved herself.i dunno what kind of friend that is..but yeah id be pissed..you have MORE then the right to be mad.

Q: okay i was just wondering if you had sex before my period and then had my period if you could get pregnant. or does having your period mean that u are not?

first, there is no such thing as a stupid question! and second, getting your period means you are NOT pregnant..

Q: I want pretty eyes.. How can I make my eyes stand out? Do I use a pencil eyeliner on top and liquid on the bottom? What colors [eyeshadow] go together? er.. or what colors would look good on me?

I have dark brown hair. Brown eyes. light skin but not pale.

your description is an exact replica of mine! so i can help you. i have brown eyes && hair and im not pale--but light skinned. so what i suggest is topes and browns. depending on if you have big eyes or little eyes is the eyeliner. if you have smaller ones then you should use eyeliner. some colors you should use are dark browns but not so much a black. but if you have larger eyes id suggest using light browns so it doesnt put the focus on anything else.
hope i helped you!!
