about

hey my name is Joanna. I've been through a lot and I can probably relate to a lot of the things you need help with. I hope you can trust me. Even, if you just want to talk to someone then you can e-mail me or instant message me. I hope I can help you with anything you need help with or if you just need a friend.
I love giving advice. A little about me well i like music, i love music actually.I write my own songs. I also write poetry and books. I am a huge photography lover and i take photography classes. I am a Christian. I have a lot of friends who i give advice to and it always seems to help them so i hope it helps you too.




Ratings: I'm not here for ratings. I don't care about them at all. I am here to help people, but it you're going to rate then rate based on whether the advice was good. Meaning don't give someone a low rating just because it's not the advice you wanted. They are telling you their opinion that you asked for.
Also, for people giving advice, don't tell people what they want to hear just to get higher ratings. They asked for your help and opinion so be honest no matter what!

Ok so my boyfriend and I have been going out for about a year. I'm 15 he's 18. I was wondering if this was cute for a Vday gift?:
Bake him a chocolate cheesecake or regular cheesecke because he does like cheesecake haha(:
And then fill a glass jar with pieces of paper telling him what I love about him and cute quotes.
I don't know if the second one is good or not? I'm not sure if guys would like it haha. He's a really sweet guy with a sensitive side but then he is also like a rock at times. So if you have input I would love to hear it! Thanksss(:

That is kind of like what my friend did for her boyfriend (the notes not the cheesecake). It is really cute. I'm sure he'll love it.

I'm 13 and I have 5 best friends and in the group there's Fi, Sarah, Lo(my best friend), Dion and Nicole.
2 days ago while me, Lo and Fi were having lunch together (Dion has 2 sides, one is mine and the other is another group, so at lunch she sits with them, Nicole eats with Sarah and another girl.) So me and Fi were talking and Lo was really quiet, so we asked her what was wrong but she ignored us. We talked again and then asked her what's wrong again but again she ignored us. Then someone told us that she was mad at us because she thought we acted like she wasn't there, which was totally untrue. Then me and Fi sent her an apology sms. She replied with a 'what the??'. Then at choir practice she made up with Fi by asking Fi to sit with her. She then apologized to me through msn. OK, so I thought this thing was over. I was wrong. The day after that, everything went fine, and last night we even webcamed and laughed together. But today, after music class, everything started to turn bad. She was mad again at us for some reasons that we could not figure out. This time she was mad at me, Fi and Nicole but not Sarah. I have NO IDEA why and she won't even talk to me. Dion told me that Lo told her: Dunno why, but I'm starting to dislike Fi and Nicole but especially Alisa(me). I was like WTF?! I have been nothing but nice to her!!! I was really mad and sad. The four of us(without lo) discussed about it and gathered some info:
1. lo said that she didnt have any friends in elementary school, and she doesn't like to be ignored. (she said it to Fi)
2. lo said nicole was showing off because she was talking about her boyfriend in msn
In the last lesson, Lo told Dion that she wants to be friends again with Fi and Nicole but not me! Why does she have to make everything so complicated and dramatic??? I don't want Fi and Nicole to be friends with her because it would be really awkward when we are together knowing that me and lo are still arguing! What should i do?! I don't think i can stand her mood swings but i don't want to lose my best friend who i have fun with!

I hate fighting with friends. First you should not make Fi and Nicole choose between you and Lo. That could end badly. Even if you and Lo are fighting you two should not make you're other friends suffer. You should pull Lo aside and talk to her. Don't let you're other friends be the messengers. Tell Lo that when she is upset with you to talk to you and not Fi, Dion, or Nicole. That you way you two can figure it out and you don't have to get everyone else involved. Things get more complicated when too many people are involved. I understand you not wanting to lose you're best friend, but maybe Lo isn't the type of person that you want to be friends with.

For the last couple of days my friends(girls)are pulling out a notebook and when they do i have to leave. Are they writing in their diary, pushing me away, or doing somthing else? By the way I'm 13(m).

Well I'm no psychic so I can't be positive, but I'm pretty sure it is nothing personal. Girl stuff. Plus they probably love making you wonder about what they're doing. If it really bothers you though, then you should ask them not to do it when you're around so you don't feel left out.

theres this guy who likes me a lot...i kno he does bcos he tells me like evry day but im not sure if i like him in a boyfriend kinda way?? anyone else felt like this before? and idk what to do bcos i dont wanna hurt him.

I know exactly how you feel. Honestly, if you have to ask yourself if you like him then I'm pretty sure you don't. At least not as any more than a friend. You're probably confused because you want to like him so you don't hurt him. I've been there. It is hard to let people down, but it would be worse if you lied to him.

I am always hungry! I'll eat when I am depressed, bored, and everything. When I am full (really), or feel full, I still eat. I can't help it because since I am always hungry I need to eat.

I have tried diets, and just plainly tried to go to 3 meals a day, but I can't do it! I will feel sick if I don't eat within 2 hours. I am overweight but I really want to stop eating a lot. I also have low metabolism like REALLY low.. so low not even exercise or food alone brings it up. So I am always tired which may be triggering my constant hunger. What can I do??

beleive it or not eating 6 small meals helps you lose weight better and it's healthier. Don't treat the meals like they're all normal meals but have your 3 meals in slightly smaller portions with 3 other small meals in between. My sister faints if she doesn't eat something every 2 hours so it might not necessarily have to do with your weight that you always need to be eating. She's very skinny. So it's fine too eat often. Just in small portions. Plus the more often you eat keeps your metabolism going so eating more often will speed up your metabolism. Hope i helped =D

Last night was a school dance. I didn't have a date (not for lack of trying), so I went stag for the day-date with my friends and the dinner. After dinner, we had an hour until the dance was supposed to start, so we went to walmart, where another of my friends works. He couldn't go because he had to work, but it turned out he got off work at 9, so I talked him into coming tot he dance when he got off work to be my date. After he got to the dance we danced every song except one and we held hands when we were in line for pictures or waiting for the rest of our group. When we went for ice cream after he opened my doors and put his arm around me when we were walking. I had a good time, and he said he did too, but I was wondering if I should ask him to go out with me again, and if so, how soon? 16/f

Whenever you want. It sounds like you hit it off so go for it. You might not want to wait to long because he might not realize that your interested and go for someone else. Hope I helped =D

This is gonna be long. Sorry. =[
Thanks in advance, though.

Mk, I have been BEST friends with this girl, Madison since I was eight. We're in eighth grade now and I seriously can't take her much longer. SHE GETS MAD OVER EVERY SINGLE THING! Anytime I get mad about something, she turns the whole thing around and starts cussing at me. She didn't do it this time but, she invited like eight girls over right in front of my face and didn't even invite me. Obviously, that pissed me off so I just hung out with my other friends the rest of the day cause every time I went over near her she'd start talking about Friday and what she's doing with everyone but me. Whenever I came home from school she IMed me and was like, "are you mad at me?" and then obviously she was talking about me cause some girl who I never even see at school was like, "are you mad at madison?" i just said sort of and then they were like, "oh, well it seemed like it." and then I told them why and Madison got all pissed off at me. She was saying, "I DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERY SINGLE THING WITH YOU! YOU INVITE YOURSELF OVER EVERY SINGLE DAY!" First of all, I know that. She doesn't have to invite people over in front of my face...I don't ever do that to her. Second of all, what the heck? NO I DON'T. She invites me over AND it isn't every day. It's like once a week. The only time I do is cause my dad is abusive and she the only one who I've told -- I only do that about once a month though. Then today I was talking to her about my profile on IM and she's like, "Well, you practically copied mine. I mean all the screen names are bolded and it's in black and white. So thanks?" I wanted to say, "OKAY! WHAT THE CRAP!? Every single person bolds the screen name like that or the name if they have conversations in their profile. Second of all, you copied Jordan's(This other girl who she acts like it's her best friend and then she tells me that she's a bitch. She's not a bitch. At least she doesn't get mad for no reason). Third of all, mine are ALWAYS black and white. I wasn't even trying to copy you. Why are you even making such a big deal about it!? It's a freaking profile." But instead I just said, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to." and she didn't say anything. For about two weeks, anytime I say anything when she's around someone she just glares at me and says something rude or sarcastic back. I've become really good friends with some of the people who she says are her friends, so I don't know if she's just jealous about that or what. Gah, what should I do? If I talk to her about it, she'll freak out.

The weird thing is that I was thinking about one of my friends the entire time I read this. This sounds EXACTLY like her. It's creepy..lol. Anyway. You should tell her how you feel. Like what you wanted to tell her about your profile. Don't be mean about it but you should really tell her. Before you say anything tell her you don't want to fight you just wanted to tell her this and ask her not stay calm and just listen. And tell her how she's making you feel and how she's being rude. I she doesn't listen and she freaks out then she's not worth your friendship. I know it's hard but she's either your friend or she's not. And from what i hear she doesn't seem like a good friend. Hope i helped =D

No it's not sperm. It could be either discharge or cum. Yes girls can cum.

oh and you shouldn't right that you'll rate high at all in your question. People should answer because they want to help and not because of how you will rate them.

Hope i helped =D

ok well when i watch porn i prefer to watch lesbian girls make out than girls and guys. but im attracted to guys and not girls. ive had sex with my boyfriend and it was very plesurable. but ive never made out with a girl. does this mean im bi? or should i maybe try it out with a girl and see how it works out??

i need help =/ thanks in advance

You answered your own question when you said your attracted to guys and not girls. Your just curious. Oh well. Just cause you like watching girls and girls doesn't make you bi. Some people would dissagree but trust me. I know people who feel the same way. IF you had feelings for girls than you'd be bi, but you already said you didn't. SO that about settles it. Hope i helped =D

I have a good friend mike and we've been friends for about two years now and were close. He has a girlfriend named katie and they`ve been dating for a year and we've never had a problem with eachother, but someone told her that i wanted to fight her and she thinks im trying to steal mike, and im not at all im not that kind of person. and when i aksed her who said this she said its one of my good friends and one of her good friends and she promised them she wouldnt tell me. and i didnt go to school today and i guess it was a good thing cuz she went around telling everyone false information and saying she was gonna punch me in my face and all this stuff. and now people are going against me and i cant stop crying. i never did this to anyone. and she said she believes me but i just dont know. i told mike that were not gonna be friends anymore, and im just so upset i dont even know what to say to anyone. there being so mean.

I don't think you should throw your friendship with Mike away because of this. It has nothing to do with him and he doesn't deserve to loser a friend over something that is in no way his fault. Talk to Katie and tell her that you wouldn't do that, and if she really believed you than she wouldn't tell people that she was going to punch you. Also, ask your friend if they told Katie that you wanted to fight her and steal mike. Tell them that even if they won't come forward and tell you what they said they should at least go tell Katie it was a lie. Hope i helped. =D

I have this guy friend that I have a major crush on. I have a few classes with him, and whenever there's a group project, he picks me as his partner, but I'm really smart and kind of anal retentive when it comes to my grades, so maybe that's why. Today I was wearing a low-cut shirt and we were working together and he passed me a note saying 'excuse the crudeness but could you pull up your shirt? I find it hard to work with boobs to look at" so I pulled up my shirt even though I had worn it just so he would look at my chest. a few minutes later he made a comment about distractions helping him think if it was something he liked. I'm a little confused by the situation.

I think that if he told you to pull your shirt up so you don't distract him, and then said he doesn't mind distractions if he likes it, then he's not that into you. I think he was hinting that it would've been fine if he liked what he was seeing. The fact that your shirt was down was distracing because basically no guy can keep from looking when they're right there. Not really cause he like you. So, i don't think he's into you. Sorry but that's what he seems like he was saying.

Ok. Well Im 14 and I'm a girl. My boyfriend is just a few years older than me. Me and him have gotten sexual, but we haven't had sex before. I don't want to have sex, but he's older and he would do it if i did. And that kind of puts pressure on me. He isn't making me have sex or purposly putting pressure on me. He is a really nice guy and has a very nice personality and I could so see myself with him years from now and we have been together for 6 months. We have touched eachother in certain places before and like the other night we took it a step further. He touched me between my legs bare but I let him. I always get caught up in the moment and I am afraid I will get caught up in the moment and end up doing something I will regret. I won't have sex till I have no doubts I want to be ready and my mom said that if i want to have sex she will put me on the pill. So I want to wait another year or so and then i will if I'm ready, but I'm afraid he exspects I will have sex with him even though he's told me many times it's will always be my choice and when I am ready he will be to! I am scared! What should I do?

Oh sorry if it was so long, but if you can could you please give me some advice? :)

Tell him that your not ready. He'll understand. TEll if that you sometimes get caught up in the moment, but you don't want him to think that you'll have sex with him. If he's the great guy you said he is then it'll all work out.
hope i helped =D

my exboyfriend just left me, he says he loves me but he thinks its with his head and not with his heart. Hes really confused. Anyway, he's gone back to his exgirlfriend before me. she really doesnt treat him right, shes so mean to me too. Shes cheated on him a few times already. i really want to make him realise that he shouldnt be with her. i dont care who he goes out with but i really dont want to see him in that state again. hes so nice and everything, so he forgives easily, i dont knnow how to help him. apart from her cheating she doesnt treat him right anyway, thanks for those who can help me with this.

Tell him exactly what your wrote. Include that your not only saying it to get him back. Let him know. He'll appreciate it. Hope i helped =D

so i have this guyfriend. one day he told me he liked me, and i didn't know what to think because i have never though of him like that and i didn't really want to see him the next day cause i knew how awkward it would be because i didn't like him like that. well i saw him and everything was normal.. i started to like him little by little.. a couple months later my friend had a party well me and my guyfriend were kind of cuddling and from there on i realllly reallly liked him because he's really cute and sweet. well i know he still likes me because people are constantly asking him. but he also likes this girl who has a boyfriend she loves and has been dating forever. i put the moves on him a lot but he still hasn't asked me out. i tryed to move on and date someone but i always thought about him so we broke up. i don't know what to do i still like him. what can i do to make him ask me out?

Just tell him you like him. Since you know he likes you it won't be a big thing. Just talk to him and tell him how you feel. If he still doens't ask you out for some odd reason than ask him. Just say " hey i know you like me, and i like you so how come you don't want to go out with me." Don't be mean about it or anything. Chances are that your find the answers your looking for if you just talk to him. Hope i helped. =D

Okay well the last time my boyfriend was over he fingered me but my pants were still on and it felt really good so i cant wait to hang out again and yea i guess were suppose to hang out again in a couple days and on the phone he asked if i liked it and if i wanted him to do it again and i said ya but ill be on my period when we hang out soo i know he'll feel the pad..what do i do??

Don't do that paper towel/shower thing! BAD IDEA!
Just tell him that your on your period and wait. Trust me. My friend chose not to tell her boyfriend that she was on her period and he fingered her and when he took his hand out...well..it was pretty gross and we went straight home. Just tell him and wait for another time to do it.
hope i helped =D

In songs and on t.v i always hear "He dropped to his knees" or "i know she's gonna drop to my knees" what the hell does "dropping to his knees" mean?? I know it's sexual but thats about it. but what does dropping their knees have to do with sexual stuff?

if in a song it says "she's on her knees"..it basically means she giving him a blowjob
