about

Hey i love to play guitar my name is Corie and i love animals. I've always wanted to have an advice colum. So i hope you like my advice. I give advice to my friends. It usually works so. Well that's me.

advice

OK, so last week my "friend" Lindsay sort of got a little mad at me & my "friend" Kristen because we were hanging out with a girl named Lynnette. So Lindsay starts hanging out with Molly & Kayla because she wanted us to be jealous, but I'm not. Lynnette is a way better friend than either of them right now. So anyway, when we were all sitting down in the gym at the end of the school day, I asked Lindsay why she had a problem with Lynnette, AND TRUST ME SHE HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH HER!!! So then she tells me "What the heck? You know what, Lauren. If you're gonna be that way then what the heck is up your butt?" She wanted to say "What the hell is up your ass?" But she didn't. The only reason she did that is because the popular girls were around her & she wanted to be popular so she showed off, & tried to impress them. I hate Lindsay. So then my other "friend" Kristen, tells me A WEEK LATER that she worked things out with her! She's been my friend for 9 YEARS & she's friends WITH THAT GIRL LINDSAY! I'm so mad at her now. She doesn't know though. She waited a week to tell me after I was sending her e-mails, IMs, & text messages asking what's going on! Should I be this upset that I hate both of them? I mean, Lindsay & Kristen would expect me not to be friends with someone who said something like that to them. So Kristen pulls this act "Well I feel like I have to choose..." I've been sticking up for her for YEARS & what does she do? NOTHING TO STAND UP FOR ME! So then I mentioned that over AIM & she's like "Well...I mean if you don't want me to be friends with her I won't because you're both gonna talk shit about each other behind each other's backs. It's totally not worth losing our friendship over." We met Lindsay this year. But I mean...come on! SHE SAYS THIS EVERYTIME I GET MAD & SORRY JUST ISN'T ENOUGH ANYMORE! Sorry this was so long but some girls I just hate being friends with because it's so dramatic. I already told her I was mad, then I told her I wasn't even though I am. Should I be upset about this? I just need another persons' perspective on this.
Thanks in advance!

Look i've been in this situation i have three friends that hate eachother. Look Lindsay is so dumb if she's going to be like that then drop her but Kristen has been your friend for years. Talk to Kristen and talk to her sort it out and tell Kristen she doesn't have to choose. If you still want to be friends with lindsay talk to her too. All three of you sit down and sort it out. Remember Conversation not Convrentation. (I don't know if i spelled it right.) I hope this helps.

Hello I am 13 years old and is going out with this really, really sweet guy. But now hes getting too attached and between us is getting a bit awkward now. I want to be just friends with him because whenever I hang around him we talk to each others like we were just mates. I mean now I love him but only in a friend way. And I tried breaking up with him and asked if we could just be friends but he didn't want it that way because he loves me a lot (which makes me feel HEAPS guilty). Besides I'm in love with this other guy. I don't want to break his heart but I just want to be friends. But he doesn't want to be friends. What should I do?

Hey don't panace but what ever you do don't break up with him on the phone or anything. That type of talk should be inperson. talk to him tell him what's bothering you but if he's acting like thatthen he is way over his age. Tell him how you feel andifhe doen't understand then he was neverthe right guy.

If you saw my advice column (which I have just started today), you would see that I am in love with sports. But it goes deeper. I play soccer no less than twice a day, I run track four times a week in Keyspan Park. I play basketball with my friends for fun a couple of times a week. I go outside more often than I should, so I never have enough time to do my homework. I am 5"3 and I weigh 113 lb. I don't even try to be fit and lose weight by going outside. I just go outside because I love to. But when i got weighed in gym class the other day, I became more self-consious than I have ever been before. I don't want to try a diet, because I would never risk my health in any matter. I weigh more than my friends that are taller than me. My daily meal isn't exactly so fatning, either.

Breakfast- Coffee (I wake up at 6:20 every morning for school) and maybe a small piece of chocolate to start the day. I always need something small and sweet in the morning to wake me up.
Lunch-I usually don't eat lunch because I am helping my gym teacher with his other classes, and when I get home I'm never hungry. But on the occasional times I do eat lunch, I'd just have maybe fish or mazzorella sticks with marinara sauce. Since I'm a vegitarian, I eat mostly dairy and fish to stay healthy.
Dinner- My mom usually comes home late, so I never really have a normal dinner with my mom and sister. Instead, we all just eat a few snacks before seven (usually when my mom gets home), and then we maybe all sit down on the dinner table, watching televsion and maybe eating just a few salads, since my mom knows we eat at school.

I don't understand how I can weigh so much if I'm so healthy and fit! I'm not big-boned, but not small-boned, either. Do you have any ideas in which I can lose weight in a healthy manner?

Hey it's okay but having choclate in the morning aint exactly helping. To become more healthy i would eatduring lunch you get enough excersice but did youknow that you must have at least eight cups of watera day. I'm in the same position my friends are a lot liter than me but there under skinny. I'd try to have some fruit and veggies. again choclate in the morning is not good for you. But maybe streching in the morning will help. Your a veggitarian that's i can't help you with that i'm not one so keep doing excersicing but choclate in the morning not the best eat lunch because it gives you energy for the rest of the day. If you need any more just email me.

okay, i'm 14/f and there's someone that i like, but he's 2 years younger than me. is it okay to like or date someone 2 years younger? it seems kind of weird, but it's not that big of a difference and in fact i think my parents are 2 years apart. thanks

yes it is ok to like someone who's not your age i mean he is only to years younger and that's ok so if you like him go for it.

i really need to get a flat stomach. but seriously it looks like im pregnant lol no im not fat i just need to get a flat stomach. what kind of excercises can i do and an estimate how long will it take. thanks!

look if you want one so bad then eat more healthy things and workout like run, jog, swim, or you could bike ride theres even more excersises then that just excersis. It's a snap but it might not feel that good but that means your burning fat.It might take a week or two maybe three.

My bestfriend moved far away in the begining of the summer. I used to do everything with her without realizing that I only hung out with her and never made an effort to hang out with anyone else. Everyone else has their own cliques and groups of friends I sit home everyday on the computer with nothing to do. I feel like my life is going to waste what should I do to put my life back together and become popular with other friends?

Okay look i have the same problem but i solved it by hangin out with other people i usually don't hang out with. I found that they like alot of the same stuff i like. So all you have to do is try to be in a different group that has some same interests then you. don't worry everything will be fine.

I had a dream i made out with my best friends boyfriend. I feel so bad that i would have a dream like that. I dont even have feelings for him!! Now i feel like i have betrayed my best friend what should i do to make me feel better?

Look if you feel that bad about it then maybe tell your friend. Or someone you trust. Look if you tell someone then you won't feel that bad. It's okay it was just a dream.

My best friend just called me from her cell phone and said she was running away!! what do i do????

Talk to your friend tell her that it is stupid if she runs away she could get stollin or hurt. She might. Talk to her make her understand or tell her parents do what you think is the best dicison.

I have soccer camp all month long in august and the coach said "your not going to the camp to get fit.. you have to be fit before coming to the camp" and everyone that has been to that camp said you run almost the entire time. I'm really worried that I'm not fit for the camp. I try to go out and run, but I'm never motivated. I'm not motivated to do any kind of exercise, but I really want to. I'm not what you call a fast runner. I'm better with my soccer footwork then running, and it's always going to be like that. Anyway, is there any way I can get more motivated and more fit before camp starts? thanks in advance =]

Hey if you want to get more motivated then make up something to get you motivated. Like if theres someone that really bugs and is a fast runner pretend your racing that person and your going to win or do it for soccer if you love the sport enough.

one of my best friends is reall y mean to me. everything i do is wrong and its always MY fault. she gets mad at the littleist things. all i have to do is call her cell phone and she starts a HUGE fight. im sick and tierd of it!!!!!!! but shes also best friends with all my other best friends and she rides my bus. so i cant avoid her and its kinda hard not to be friends with her since we have been friends for a while but i dont know what to do!!! i need help so i would love it thank in advance!!

Look i have a best friend too that is like that. You should just sit her down and talk and if that doesn't work just say if your going to treat me like this then i don't think we should be friends. Just talk to your friend. K

Hey if you think it is too much then set down a compromise. Tell you don't mean o be mean or anything but and then you say what you think. Then if they don't give in then just say you feel bad that your getting too much money. It is no problem. Maybe they think since your a teenager you want more money. K
