My GPA is a 4.1 something, and I am very proud. But this semester, I'm taking an AP class and it's extremely difficult. I don't know if I can even pass and I'm getting worried. Please answer the following questions:

1) Is getting a D bad?
2) Is failing one class bad?

I know that I'm not aiming for a D nor an F, but I'm just wondering. Please don't be mean or discouraging, yet be honest, too...=(

I was in the same situation as you during my junior year. I failed one semester of AP Physics and was scared that it would ruin my chances of getting into college. Though it brought my GPA down slightly, I still got into a lot of colleges. As long as you don't make a habit of it, I say it's not a huge deal. Hope I could help.


i went to my boyfriends hometown (arkansas) last weekend and he was all over me and then one day i snapped at him (yelling) on accident and i think he took it defensive because now he is snapping at me and he isn't all touchy feely with me these past two days now that we are back in missouri! and he noticed that i yelled at him cuz he told his mom that i did! and he hasnt really been himself around me these past two days and i dont know what to do! should i apologize for what i did? or what? i am a 14 year old young lady and i dont know what to do! (link)
Well, I think instead of just saying "I'm sorry", you should really talk to him about what happened. Tell him that you feel that he has been acting differently lately and that you have a feeling it's because you snapped at him a few days back (which it might not be, it could be something else). See what he says then and go from there. I assume you are very sorry for snapping at him, so let him know how badly you feel for letting your feelings get out of control. I've accidently snapped at my boyfriend a few times, and afterwards, he'll act quiet or distant for awhile. When I notice, I'll ask him about it, apologize, talk to him, and then everything is back to normal! Hope everything works out for you!!


When should girls start to wear tampons? (link)
Girls can start to wear tampons as soon as they start their period, but most girls find them painful or uncomfortable when wearing them for the first time: I know I did! I didn't really start wearing tampons till I was 16 because I found them extremely uncomfortable. A lot of my friends felt the same way. Hope I could help!


I'm a sophomore in high school. This is my second year in the theater dept. in high school. I got fed up with everything that goes on in that dept. today (things that I'll leave unsaid) and just went off on everyone. Well, not as much as went as told the truth. A few backed me up while the rest sat there looking like idiots (they all knew what I/we had said was true but didn't have the balls to agree or say a word). Aside from the actual shows, these past 2 years have been a complete waste of time. Well, I'm switching schools next year and since I've earned many "points" to go towards my Letterman’s jacket, I don't want to lose them just because I switch schools. Will I lose my points or do they stay? Or does it differ with each district? (link)
By points, do you mean from things like going to UIL events? If so, the points probably do transfer! The best way to find out for sure, though, is to call the school you're transferring to and ask to speak with the theater director at that school. Tell him/her that you're concerned about your points transferring and he/she will probably work with you to make sure they do. I hope I could help! Good luck!


hey okay .. there's 3 boys there all friends .. Mike .. Art and John .they all like me .. im good friends with them all and i like art. . but if i go out with art mike and john will be mad at me .. but i tryed to get mike to understand that i dont like him like that .. but he w0nt take no for an answer and i dont know wat to do .. i really like art . but i want mike to accept us being together .. x0o ash please please please help !!! (link)
Well, you really have to ask yourself "Is having a relationship with Art worth giving up Mike and Josh as friends?". If your answer is yes, then you should go out with him. If not, then you should probably stay friends. There's no way to make John and Mike accept Art and you being together and you'll have to accept that. You need to tell them that you respect their feelings, but you'd like them to respect yours as well. If they were really your friends, they would be happy that you have found someone to have a relationship with: someone to make you happy in a way that no one else can! This dilemma will come up many times in your life: between friends and boyfriends. You have to deal with these dilemmas as they come. You really have to wonder if your friends are looking out for your best intrest or THEIR best interest. In this case, it sounds like your two friends are being selfish in not wanting you to have a relationship with Art. I say if you really want to be with Art, be with him, and stop caring about what others think. You have to live your life the way you want and disregard what others think or you'll never be happy. I hope I could help! Good luck with your situation!!


Ok, so my friends are telling me this guy likes me, but it's not the guy I like. They said he might ask me out, but I don't have feelings for him. How can I say I don't want to go out w/ him without sounding mean? (link)
Well, if this guy that likes you is a friend of yours or at least talks to you on a daily basis, just tell him that you enjoy being friends with him and you think that dating him would ruin that. Also, try not to give any signals that you like him as more than a friend! You don't want him to get the wrong idea. If he's not your friend and you don't really know him, on the other hand, you can tell him either that he's not your type or you'd like to be friends, but you don't think a relationship would work out between the two of you. Another option, although this may be a little forward, is to tell him that you're interested in someone else and you're very sorry. I hope I could help with your problem!!


OK...there r two guys at school and i like think i might like one of them, the other one my friend tells me i like but im pretty sure i dont. Hes not cute and hes really wierd...the one i do like is kinda cute athletic smart (kind of) but i dont know. How should i know if i like the or not. I get weird feelings wen im around the cute one and i feel normal wen im around the other one. Love is confusing! Someone help me...I rate high! (link)
The only person who can know if you like someone is YOU. I don't know why your friend thinks she knows who you like and do not like, but she can't unless you tell her. If you feel normal around the "weird" one and you're pretty sure you don't like him, then you probably don't!! It sounds to me like you definitely like the "cute" one. Maybe your friend likes the "cute" one and wants you to like the other guy so she can have the "cute" one. Well, it's just a theory. I don't know how she feels or how you feel. But from what you're telling me, it sounds like you should tell the "cute" one that you like him and forget about the other guy. I wasn't sure if your question was asking about whether or not you should tell him or how you should tell him, but if it is, you can click the "Ask me a question" at the top of my advice column!! Good luck with everything!!


ok so we have an 8th grade formal comming up and i wanna know some cute wasys to do my hair could anyone give me any web sites to look at the "formal" hair styles or cute oes that dont look to old for a 14 year old??

I will rate! (link)
Here is one website that has a lot of good styles on it:

http://hairstyles.free-beauty-tips.com/prom_hairstyles.html

I've been to many formals and had many updos, but I have yet to find a really good website with lots of styles to choose from. The way I usually look for updos online is by going to google, typing in "prom hair" (because most people get updos that aren't too "old" for them from prom magazines and websites) and then I click on images. That's the only way I have found to see many different hair updos!! Good luck! I hope you find the perfect one!!


Where can I buy a pedometer? (link)
You can buy one pretty much anywhere. I got my dad one from Dillard's, but they have them at Walmart for 19 dollars!! Here's the link on the walmart website so you can see what it looks like:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3312571

Lots of places carry them, but walmart is probably the cheapest! Hope I could help!


16/f--I have this friend whos mormon. She's really nice & everything, but she's always trying to get me to go to church with her. But the thing is, I'm a proud Christian. I love learning about new religions, cultures, lifestyles, etc. But going to church with her is something I don't really want to do. Also, I've talked to my mom about it, and she doesn't want me to go either. Part of my not wanting to go, is that I've talked with a few people who have gone to church with her (also friends of ours) and they've said that they take down your name, address, number and sometimes take your picture. And thats not something I feel comfortable with. My church on the other hand, won't do that. They'll treat you like a guest and they tell you, you aren't obligated to do anything. But for some reason, everyone has said that the mormons try to talk you into some things. And I'm not disagreeing and bashing on the mormon religion, but its not something I want to be a part of and I've pretty much kept my feelings to myself rather than spreading them or whatever. But I don't know what to tell my friend when she invites me places anymore. Usually I'll say "I'm doing something" or 'I can't wake up that early'. And I feel bad. And now, my other best friend just became mormon...so I'm not sure what to do. And I don't know if my friend's mom would want her to come to church with me, since she's really overprotective (I was thinking mabe we would both experience other churches, but it might be a bad idea). (link)
First, I would like to say GOOD FOR YOU FOR BEING OPEN-MINDED. I can tell that you are because you say you like to learn about new religions and cultures. It's a great quality. I realize that you are in no way bashing the mormon religion, you just don't want to go to church because of what you have heard. There is a mormon church near my house that I went to once for a project, and the one I went to did exactly what you said: they take your name, address, etc. I still recieve mail from them trying to get me to join their church, and I went 4 years ago! I can't say for sure that all mormon churches are like this: I can only speak for the one I have been to. You shouldn't have to do anything you don't feel comfortable doing. You should defintily be honest with your friend. Maybe you should do some research on the mormon religion online, like a search on google for "mormon relgion beliefs" or something. After you do this, tell your friend that you have read some things online about the religion and you don't feel comfortable going because of what you read (this will sound better and more credible than "Oh, my friends said this about your church"). Tell her that she's welcome to come to church with you, but you would really not feel comfortable going with her because of what you have read. Again, it's great that you are so strong in your faith and willing to experience other cultures and learn about other religions, but it doesn't mean you have to go to a mormon church with your friend. I hope I could help! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me! Good luck!


Hey (from a guys POV) do you like to kiss girls with lipgloss on? (link)
My boyfriend complains all the time when I wear lipgloss because when we kiss, it gets all over his lips and it's sticky and shiny! He really likes it when I wear chapstick, especially one that tingles (I suggest Burts Bees chapstick). All boyfriends that I have had in the past have said the same thing. It's too bad, because I love lipgloss!!! Maybe a light lipgloss or chapstick would be better! I know I'm not a guy, but LOTS of guys complain to me about kissing with lipgloss! Hope I could help!!


what are the health benefits of eating blackberries? (link)
There aren't many health benefits of eating blackberries except for alleviating diarrhea and intestional inflammation (see site: http://www.wholehealthmd.com). They're also good for the healing of infections. Maybe you're thinking of blueberries, because they have tons of health benefits because they contain more antioxidant activity than any other fruit!! Those benefits include anti-aging, urinary-tract health, cancer prevention, and vision health. Also, they are said to improve your memory! Hope I could help!!

Hi im Jess i love soccer very much and i enjoy it until my coaches ruin it. If i make one little mistake they yell alot. I hate when they do that because im having a great time until they come along and ruin it what can i do to avoid their annoyance to me. thx i rate high
love Jess (link)
Well, if you play for a school team, there is a lot of pressure to win and there is not much emphasis put on the fun of the game. If this really gets you down, you have two options: either use this to motivate you more or join a less competitive team. There are lots of local, neighborhood soccer associations that are not super bent up on winning like many school teams are. I played on one of these as a kid, and when we won, it was great! But our coach was never mean to us! If you want a different atmosphere from what you are experiencing now, I would definitly reccomend looking into local soccer associations. Hope I could help!! Good luck!


Hi im Jess i am 13 years old and i have a boyfriend that is the greatest. Well sometimes we have these little fights over something stupid and we usually brake up cause we were imature. Anyways now that we sorta grew up i was wondering after getting in a fight what can we do just to get past this problem so it wont result to an other brake up? plz help i rate good.

~From Jess~

Basically, when arguing, make sure that you really listen to eachother's aruments and speak in a calm, respectful voice. Usually, the fights that end in break-ups are ones in which one or both people lose their temper and are not in control of their emotions. You can change this by calmly talking about your differences. Even though this is the most effective way to "have a disagreement" with a boyfriend or girlfriend, I realize that things can get out of hand and it can turn into a big fight. When this happens, just be aware of how much you care about eachother and think of all the good times you've had. When things escalate to the point that you may want to break up, just say something like "This is ridiculous. Let's just talk about this instead of arguing" and this will most likely make the other person more sympathetic to the situation.
A good rule my boyfriend and I have is that we never go to sleep mad at eachother. We always promise to work out everything before we go to bed. This is a great incentive to make a compromise about the situation or just agree to disagree! This has worked for us for 2 years now! Hope I helped! Good luck with your relationship!


well i have a mole on my cheek and im planning on getting it removed pretty soon by a plastic surgon... has anybody had a mole or anything removed from their faces before? and if so what do i need to expect adn does it show much scarring or what?? thanks!! (link)
Hey! My mom actually had a mole on her face near her nose removed. When she first got it done, there was a small scar, but it faded as the years passed. After you get yours removed, ask your doctor how you can minimize scaring! There are a lot of creams and vitamins that do so. I'm sure he or she will be able to suggest something.
Also, I've had 4 moles removed from my stomach and back. The way my doctor did it, they gave me a shot in order to numb the area. I just wanted to warn you that if you get it done this way, the shot will hurt very badly, but you will not feel anything when the acutally remove the mole! But don't worry about it: it will be over before you know it! Good luck! Hope everything goes well!!


I moved to a new state last summer and i havent made that many friends at my new school. There was this girl who was also new who didnt know anyone and she was really down to earth, so we became friends. Over the school year shes become very stuck up, materialistic, and rude to people who try to be nice and talk to her. So im her only friend, and for a while she was my only friend. Ive made some friends with some very nice guys which have invited us (me and my friend) to sit with them during lunch. She never wants to because she thinks shes too good for them. I really dont see anything wrong with them, they are just trying to be friends with her. So i told her to stop being mean and to come sit with them sometime. She always refuses, which means im stuck with her and i dont get to sit with them. Then they get upset (not mad at me) when we dont sit with them. Each day she becomes even more and more rude and i dont really want to be friends with her anymore. Sometimes i feel like she doesnt like sitting with me either. Today during lunch she was on her phone for 45 min out of 50 min. She just kept me sitting there, and when i said i wanted to go sit with the guys she said no. I got really mad and just got up and left to go sit with them because i didnt want to just sit there and listen to her conversation. It was rude for her to be on the phone the ENTIRE lunch period (which is the only time i see her). Anyways, do you think i had the right to do what i did? I know it wasnt very nice, but shes been so mean to people and i thought she deserved it. What would you do in my position? (link)
Good for you for getting up to go sit with the guys!! I don't know what this girls problem is, but it seems to me like she's trying to control you so that you won't have any other friends to hang out with! She doesn't sound like a good friend at all. I really do believe you did the right thing by going to sit with the guys. If this girl thinks she's better than everyone else, then let her be alone! I'm sure you'll find that these guys you're sitting with are going to be much better friends that the girl is. My suggestion is if you want to save your friendship with this girl (which I can't figure out why you would, but that is your business), I would suggest talking to her about how you feel. If you're okay with letting this "friendship" go, then just forget about her and go your own way. You're obviously a much better and nicer person than she is. Don't feel badly for leaving bad friends behind. You DEFINITLY did the right thing. Hope I could help! Good luck with your new guy friends!

hey im 15, and i was wondering can teenagers get breast cancer? like on my left breast i feel like some bump on the inside or something but i dont know if its really a bump and it hurts a little in that area. i was wondering could that be breast cancer? im really worried and i want to know, if any of you know what can that be, maybe its just that my breasts are still growing or something i really dont know. please help me.
(link)
You can get breast cancer at any age. I know a girl who had breast cancer at 17. Although odds are that you don't have cancer, you definitely need to get it checked out. It's always better to be safe than sorry! All you need to do is make an appointment to see a doctor, have him or her check it out. While there, ask for a pamphlet for how to do a breast exam on yourself. It'll help you know what's normal and what's not and how to stay on top of your health! Hope I helped! Good luck!


there was this geourgous , relli popular guy, josh and omg we went out 4 about 4 weeks , we were at a basketball game w our skewl one day and every1 was coming up to me saying hey leila blake is guna break up with u, and i didnt pay attention 2 it(after all it was april fools day) wen i got home i called him and we broke up (he broke up w me)during this tyme he didnt talk 2 me call me ot anything, then wen i was at 6 flgs one day he was there and he asked me if i wanted to go ride the batman, i was liek SURE and i didnt even wana hold his hand, wen the ride started he grabbed mii hand and goes im sorry, ill always love u, NOW wen we got to skewl once again he didnt pay attention 2 me or anything, then he starts saying crap, liek im greasy??? and im relli confused ryt now... what should i do PLEASE HELP!!!
~LOVE ALWAYS,
NATALIE~~ (link)
In response to m3lisza's answer, it is spelled "grammar". Please get your own spelling in check before you start criticizing others.
Now, on to answer your question. To me, it sounds like he's trying to hide the fact that he likes you from his other "popular" friends. This does not justify his rude comments. No one deserves to be treated the way he's treating you. He likes you, then he doesn't, then he likes you, then he doesn't....It sounds a little wishy-washy to me. Overall, this guy is playing with your heart and he obviously doesn't respect you. He also does not deserve you at all. I know you could do a lot better. My advice is to forget about him and move on. Even if he comes back to you and says he's sorry, do not get back with him. He will just keep doing the same thing over and over again. I hope this creep stops treating you badly and that you move on past this horrible experience you have had. Hope I helped and good luck in the future!!
