Is it bad for your best friend to be your boyfriend if you're only 13? (link)
No I dont think so...unless YOU feel you are too young to have a boyfriend.


I already saw someone with an ADD question, but I'd thought I'd make my own. Lately I haven't been concentrating on anything in class. I don't have THAT much stuff on my mind, and when some people get bored, they're still able to concentrate--just being bored. I can't even do that. My question is, what are the signs of having ADD, and what is it exactly?? I would tell myself in class, "Okay, I need to concentrate..." seriously like 10 seconds later, I'm off in space again...and I won't realize it until like a minute later, and even then I won't concentrate, I'll just keep thinking about other things. And that same pattern just goes on and on again...

Also, if you for sure have ADD, what are you supposed to do about it? Do they give you medicine or anything? (link)
It is possible that you have ADD or ADHD. ADD is Attention-Deficit Disorder...when you can not concentrate or pay attention. ADHD is Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder...when you show ADD symptoms plus you are hyper a lot.

This site has a great checklist to see if you have ADD or ADHD.

If you feel you have ADD and it is impacting on your ability to run your life, see a doctor. You can be prescribed medicines to help it.


What's a good rate to charge for babysitting a 1 and 3 yr old? (link)
I personally get paid $7 an hour. But some may think that is too much. Charge $5 an hour. Then they may decide to raise it if you do a good job!


age 13/f ok there's thiz guy i think i kinda like but he just asked thiz other girl out! i think there's a chance he likes me though becuz there's always those little signs i really don't kno wut 2 do! (link)
Wow...this is really tough, cuz this exact thing is happening to me right now. There is not much you really can do...I mean he is taken. You need to try just being friends with him, even though it will be hard. Maybe they will break up...maybe not. You just gota hold on and wait..good luck :/


For the age and gender thing i'm 16/f

ok...theres this guy i like and he seems to like me but i think he's too shy to admit it...he smiles at me alot and i have been starting to notice him staring at me..but whenever someone asks him if he likes me he says something like i never said i do like her but i never said i don't like her...i have thought about just keep talking to him to see how it goes and try to show him i like him and wait for him to ask me out...or should i just straight out ask him out myself? (link)
Okay...well the way he answers the questions with no direct answer is a good sign he might like you. One thing is that he might not be positive that he really wants to go for it with you yet, so let him have some time. Keep flirting while you wait. Maybe even let a friend hint to him that you like him, so you don't have to do it yourself. In time hopefully he will ask you out. If he doesn't, though, go for it!!! If you don't you will never know what you could have missed.


mi brother was going out with this girl for awhile when he was in 9th grade. she treated him like trash. she carried him around by the nose, cheated on him, and used him. he was so upset and angry and said " i never want to have anything to do with her for the rest of my life ". and now....shes back. she called him a few days ago for the first time in a few years and they started talking again. he went to a game last night and saw her there..thats the only reason why he went. she was all over him and it disgusts me. i want to talk to him about it but im afraid he'll get mad at me! HELP PLEASE! (link)
Well just tell him "Remember what she did to you before? Do you really want to take the chane of going through that again?" Hopefully he will understand your concern. It should touch him that you care enough about him to try and stop this very potentially hurtful relationship.


Kyle asked me out in 8th gradenov ..went out for a month then he dumped me Oct 14 to Nov 14... then feb 27 he asked me out i sayed yes it ws my bday party then his bday is april 25 n he dumped me the 26th he didnt tell me the 'honest' reason but i still really like him like crasy n he said he likes me but should i ask him out? if so how? its kind of hard because i get embarrase easily n now were in 9th grade n we see eachother a lot but i am just not sure if im the only girl he likes...what should I say? every bit helps thankyou sincerly Sarah
my address to contact me is Sarah22490@aol.com (link)
Well for one I think it would be a good idea to find out why he keeps breaking up with you. Just sit down and talk with him one day, alone. It may be hard to find this alone time, but try...really try. Casually hint that you still like him...maybe ask to see a movie with just him sometime or whatever. Try to sense how he acts around you...that is a good sign as to if he likes you are not. Is he nervous? Good sign. Does he look bored? Bad sign. Looks into your eyes? Good sign. Best of luck!


okay, i've done out with this boy lets say.. *mike* 2 times. once one year, and once the next. i've liked him for like 3 years. the first time he asked me out, it lasted 3 months, and i dumped him for reasons that werent his fault. the 2nd time i asked him out and he dumped me for my friend but he totally like hates it now. so now this year we both like eachother and i still really like him but should i just give up on going out with him or what?? i dont know what to do? this may sound dumb and i dont really know how to explain it but if you get it then please help me! lol thanx sorry its so long (link)
Heyy - this is one of those confusing things...but I think if you really really do like him, try it again! Whats the worst that could happen? Maybe a few tears...but that you could get over. If it works out then you will be so glad you went for it. But remember - if it doesn't work out this time then he is probally not the guy for you.
