i have this friend... let's call him Duckie. well he recently began to date my other friend, (we'll just call her Juicyfruit). as foolish as it sounds, i would do anything to make someone else happy. and so i helped them set things straight and get going on a healthy relationship. but Duckie is my best guy friend in the whole world and i hug him every day when i see him between classes.
Juicyfruit is a jealous girl. she sent her other friend to set some "ground rules" for me. it was stated that i am not allowed to hug Duckie anymore unless Juicyfruit gives her consent. so i did what i thought was right and i confronted her. she said that she was sorry for losing her temper, and just to forget that she even cared about the hugging thing. in other words, she was pissed.
Juicyfruit is a sort of a player and Duckie might be able to make her stick with him so she can actually feel love. and jealousy would interfere with their own joy. i wrote a letter to Duckie telling him he was not to hug me, speak to me, or even look at me because i only cause trouble.
so i did what probably makes them happy. but after losing my best friend and having Juicyfruit's popular little friends look down on me with scorn, what do i do when i have made two people happy... but I'M not in the same bliss?
someone help me. i don't want to be selfish. all i ever wanted to do was make people happy. but i'm too STUPID to know if this has gone too far. (link)
you should sit down with both of them and tell them how you feel. and if that doesn't work, just get a new friend. if that sounds a little harsh for you, try this. Someone TOLD you that you can't hug him.she never really threatend you. unless she really did. but that's just me!


how do i get a girl to like me (link)
just be yourself. someone should like you for who you are!


I always seem to have dark circles under my eyes,always. I wear glasses so they're not that noticeable but I'd still rather not have them.
I get about 9 1/2 on school nights and a little more on the weekends so it shouldn't be solely lack of sleep.

Does anyone have any ideas why I've got them or how I could get rid of them? (link)
9 1/2 hours of sleep is just average for people your age. So that means that it is just a bunch of hours added together and divided up. s maybe you should get more hours of sleep and put some cover-up on while you wait


I like to eat the crumbs, and small ones first, even if I have to dig deep in the bag. Sometimes, I dump them out to get to the small ones. People think I'm weird. Am I? (link)
yes. but you shouldn't let that get to you!!


I have a very adorable cat named Kiwamu sitting on my lap, but sometimes, when she miows, i'm not sure what she wants. I'm pretty sure it just means she's board, but I can't always let her outside. She always has plenty of food out, and she knows where her litter box is, so I'm sure it is just because she wants attention. How can I keep her entertained when I can't let her outside? (link)
pet her, and give her/he love. but pet her/he gently and nice. maybe the cat will like that. beleive me, i have a cat just the same.


how do i get a girl friend (link)
ask someone you like over the phone. So if the girl says no, then no one will know.


I have an.. well interesting sister. She is 4 years older than I am and I am nearly 18. My sister and I both live at home still. My sister acts as if her life is the most important life on the face of the earth, and she treats everyone around her like a lesser being. Sometimes I just want to physically hurt her because words just never get through to her, that is, if you can words out at all. She never lets people speak, especially when she is angry. She blames her problems on everyone else in my family, especially my mother and I'm starting to believe my sister is really breaking my moms heart to pieces. Her actions and words hurt all of my immediate family and it is so extremely peaceful and quiet when she is at work.

The thing that bothers me the most is that she always claims that her life is so much worse than everyone else's, no matter what they are enduring, she refuses to offer support, instead she will explain how much more difficult it is to be her. I can't stand being around her because she always insults me, she claims that she is just being honest when clearly - she is just being rude.

I had hoped she would be moving out soon but she enrolled in school again and so she will be staying at home for at least another 2 years. Its madness and I simply can't be around her.

When I have tried to explain how I feel and how badly she treats us she refuses to let me finish and assumes I am attacking her and she responds with attacks of her own. She always tells us how horrible it is to have a family like ours and how no one cares about her and how she wishes she could leave.

I have tried to tolerate her disgusting attitude and no one outside my family can understand my grief over this issue because my sister changes her entire self when she is around anyone other than our immediate family - she is suddenly nice. Therefore, no one else understands.

My question to advicenators is this - is there anything that I can say to my sister that will make her realize how bad she is hurting our family or do we all need to simply tough it out for the next few years until she moves out on her own?
However, even if we do tolerate her, I don't ever want to simply sever ties with my own sister - I want her to care about us and love us - I want her to be a friend to me. Not someone that hates us and supposedly makes her life horrible. (link)
have you ever heard of.

what does "sex symbol" mean when somebody says u're such an sex symbol?
(link)
it means that someone, (like Britney Spears) kinda' shows off there body. kinda like a striper but not really.


How can i make a room feel calm
and want to work
(link)
make it seem so you don't get distracted. so don't put a window near the desk, and put it against the wall. Just basically make it boring for you so you don't get distracted. and put soothing colors in there. not like neon yellow or neon pink. put like white, or black, or even forest green.


is a fish a good pet? or is a dog better? i cant decide, people help me!!! (link)
dog. they are more of a companion for people when they are sad, they actually resopne by liking you or hopping on your lap.
( if you are getting a dog, get a small one or a puppy )


Hi, I'm "Joanna" and my two best friends "Martina and Danielle" have been friends since 4th grade(we're now in sixth). But since the beginning of this year, Martina has left me and Danielle behind. She never talks to us, and we haven't made any friendly contact with her for ages. But now her and her (new) idiotic friend "Lorey" have been kinda harassing me. They've called my house before, saying they were Danielle but I knew better and wouldn't talk. I've had skittles thrown at me. Her and her new cooler friends were sitting at a table next to us one day at lunch, and they kept pointing and whispering about who knows what. I try to just ignore them, but it doesn't seem to work at all! What do I do?!

Hating change,
Joanna (link)
i know how you feel.

just don't act like she is yuor friend anymore. Then, pretend like it bother you when she does stuff to you. if that doesn't work, just tell a teacher. I know that may be so preschool, but try it. or, you can call her one night at her house, and tell her how you feel while she is with no one. and this one may seem mean, but maybe blackmail her?????


What can I do about those annoying idiots online who never bother to spell anything right? (a.k.a. newbies). They're really annoying! Everytime I run into one online I just want to stab a fork into an electrical socket... It tingles, but then you die. Can anyone help? (link)
why don't you just start doing it too? It also used to bugg me, and then I started to do it too. now it doesn't bugg me at all. at first, youu do a little here and there, and then you start to do it constantly.


I have a boyfriend that i love alot but he hits me.But he say he sorry and he won't do it again but he keeps doing it. He said if I leave him then he will kill me.I'm so scared that he's telling the truth .He's already put me in the hospital 2 times I don't know what to do.So I need help ASAP if anyone can help me please.My life is on the line!

you should really tell someone else. You know, like your mom or your best friend! but if i was someone like them i would maybe go to the police and tell them whats happening and maybe they can figure things out. plus, with polie on your side, he won't tr to kill you! hope you figure things out!!! good luck!


i went to camp with this guy and i slowely fell in love with him. i liked him for three years and now we rarely talk anymore. im not sure if i like him in a crush way, i like him more as a brother. i miss us talking. i dont want to go up to him and start randomly talking, i'd look like an idiot.what should i do??? (link)
Maybe call him?!?!?!

I REALLY WANT YOUR OPINION ON THIS.. even if it is just a sentence long!! girl i want to know what you would do please! i really dont want this to go wrong because of my friends ship with this person:

Yes it it me again.. the one who liked her bestfriend that was a year younger.. well i cant stop thinking about him... when im trying to go to sleep, he is there in my mind! and this morning in church i couldnt hardly focus on what our preacher was talking about because i kept thinking about him! this isnt good.. i have decided that i am going to tell him how i feel.. but i havent talked to him in 2 days.. i have no clue where he has been, maybe that is y he has been on my mind soo much! do u think that it is wrong for girls to make the move? i asked him about this a while back, and he said that he thinks guys should make the first move... but i dont think i can wait that long.. because knowing him, he likes to be shy about his feelings and not let anyone know how he feels. i am soo scared of how he will react to what i will tell him next time i talk to him, what if he freaks out and doesnt talk to me for a while? i wont know what to do, because then i will be thinking about him even more! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!

I suggest that you should send him a letter!!! And when you end it, if you are too embressed, you can put, "Secret Admiror"


ewwww.......I am constantly spitting out green mucus in a styrofoam cup as we speak...any thing that will get rid of it? Help! its so gross... (link)
Well, your nose is connected to your mouth. All mucus is boogers going through your nose and out your mouth it also is a mixter of milk too (if you drink milk). So either stop sniffing constly or sit up straight. So instead of it going down into your mouth it doesn't drip down.


I like this girl, but i dont know if she likes me. People say that we would be a great couple, and people also say that she does liek me. But if i ask her out and she says no, then i would be so embarressed. Mainly because we have been friends for a while and she might not see me the same way.. What do i do?
(link)
as a girl i think it is very sweet that a guy likes me. But i kmow it can be embaressing! But i think you should totally go for it! and if it is too much face to face, send her a note or even if that is embaressing, send her a note as secret andmirer! but if you don't like my ideas, fine! But i still think that you should go for it!


Hi, Jollylollipop! I LOVE your name! Anyways, I need some help: I really want to earn money, but I am not 12 yet to babysit. What should I do? I REALLY want money!

Signed,

Money Hungry (link)
Well, in my neighborhood, there is a lot of little kids! But I too, can't babysit! So, when I need money I beome the mom's helper. So when she has two little kids, and she has to feed one and put the other one to sleep, I come in. Or, some of my friends some times babysits pets!


Is there any way to know how it works that when a person cares about others, that person is overlooked, but if that person doesn't care, more people care about them? I've cared about a lot of people, and when I stopped caring so much, I got more attention AFTER I stopped caring. Is there any logical explanation to this? I'm seventeen and can't seem to get a boyfriend, not that I need one, but it would be nice to have someone special who cares about me. (link)
Well, I'm not that great about boys, because I live with my mom and sister and no one else, and I don't have a boyfriend! But I will give it my best shot! Ok, I think that you should just try to be yourself, and if a boy doesn't like you the way you are, you shouldn't date him. but if you really want a boyfriend I suggest that you go to dances, because my friends got a lot of boyfriends that way!
