Q: I'm a moderately happy person. I'm in love, I have really supportive friends, and I have great artistic outlets for my emotions, but for some reason I keep having these reoccurring thoughts of suicide. Every time I sit by my window I think of diving headfirst into the driveway three stories below. I don't know what to think of it. Is this normal?
how old are you? dont kill yourself... just find a way to talk about it or someone to talk about it.. keep a diary... that helped me when i was younger.. dressin bright colors and tell yourself everything will be alright~

Q: im a 13/f n my bestfriend is 13/m i like him alot and we went to the movies yesterday with 2 other friends a boy and a girl. i was sitting inbetween the girl and my best friend n all during the movie he kept sorta kicking me and rubbing his leg against my leg. i thought it was cute. then he didnt mean to well at least i dont think he meant to, but he moved his hand like in between the seat and he touched my theigh a couple of times. i like him alot but do you think he was making moves on me? well he knows i like him but im sort of clueless right now!! thank you
yea he might like you.. why dont you just ask hiim but if ur chiken get friends to ask him!

Q: My parents keep the house so so so so so cold...I'm always freezing and it's the middle of the winter...it's always like 60 in here, and I've told my parents so many times that I'm SO cold when its that cold, but they don't care. They say that they are comfortable that way, and that if they turn it up they will be too warm. I'm not the only one who thinks its too cold...friends or relatives who come over say its so cold! But, they don't have to live here!!! I DO!! What do I do???
carry a blanket and wear sweaters!

Q: my boyfriend broke up with me 2 weeks ago and we got back together a couple of ays ago. I love him more than anything and I don't want to mess things up this time. When he broke up with me he didn't really give an explanation why he did it. And I couldn't get him to tell me, he would just say, "It's hard to explain." He had told me he loved me and we were about to do certain "things" but i don't know if he still wants to do those "things" So my question is do you think he still loves me? Also do you think he still wanys to do those "things". And how should I bring the subject up with him? Thanks a ton! Please help...
you shouldnt do "those things" unless your both ready.. dont ask him just wait til the right time comes.. youll know trust me. and is his kiss still as passionate? does he still hold you? does he still tell you things like i miss you and cant wait to see you? if not the chances are he still likes you but has to put his trust back in the love.. hope i helped!


Q: i want to lose 13 pounds...does anyone have any diet plans with exercise plans that would be helpful...how many pounds is it helpful to lose per week?? i'm a girl by the way and i'm 5'4.
how much do you weigh in the first place.. for a 5'4 female its heathy to be between 110-130.. so if your less then that dont lose weight.. if your more than that eat healthy food.. like salad at fruits with no fat dressing (ranch has the most calories) so dont eat that unless its fat free. try not to eat to much sugar.. like soda and stuff.. exersise regularly.. put yourself on a scedual (ex 10 pushups 10 sit ps and jog 2x around the block at 630 pm) something like that and dont starve yourself.. youll acually gain weight.! hope i helped and let me know how it works out

Q: A few days ago the guy I used to like asked me out... of course I said yes. Last night his friend dumped me for him. Later that night the same friend imed me saying how sry they are that they would do that to me. At first i was confused on what happened, but as they kept talking to me a realized that it was a joke. They made a bet that if i went out with him for a few days he would get money. I'm not mad b/c i still like him (now i hate him), I'm mad at them b/c they were my close friends and they thought it was ok to do something like that. The thing is, is that i'm not sure if i should forgive them, they were my friends and i know i might be sry if i never talk to them again.
thanks for the help

are you a guy or a gurl...? if your a guy are you gay? im confused... anyway if they realize what they had done was wrong and they said sorry you should forgive them.. but dont let it slide next time... and tell them both that it was messed up what they did and make sure they know it wont ever be the same between you... let me know how it works out!!

..hope i heled...

Q: I was in a mental institution and I got really close to one of the staff members that worked there, she helped me in every way possible and I thought of her as my mom. Since I have been out it seems like everytime I call the hospital to talk to her, they make an excuse for me to NOT talk to her. Last night my sister looked her up on the internet and come to find out, she lives a mile away from me, and I have her home phone number, I mailed her a christmas card this morning to her home, but I dont know if I should actually call her at home. I miss her so much and she made such a big impact in my life, what do I do? I don't want her to think that I am like stalking her or anything! ???????
Call her and tell her just what you told all of us.. be like i want to thank you for all of your help and i hope we dont lose touch ect.. but if u dont mind my asking... why were u in a mental institution..

Q: Last night my best friends parents got into a car accident. Her dad had to spend the night in the hospital because he broke his ribs and lost a lot of blood. Her mom is doin ok, she has internal bruises but is taking everything well. The doctors thought that her dad was going to die, but he made it through the night. Ive never been in this sort of situation before. I dont know what to say or what to do. Please help, i really need to be there for my friend!!!!!!!
Just comfort her.. hug her and when she is crying let it fall on your sholders.. go hang out with her try and get her mind off of it for a while..

Q: what do i say? how do i ask him out? when can i kiss him ?

Q: I've been going out with my boyfriend for 4 days now, and before that we were really close. Well, he's living with me now, and he's taking up the majority of my time. My parents are not okay with him staying here, and I'm grounded for them catching my boyfriend here a few times. So, I don't have much time for my friends, the only time I really have, is with my boyfriend, but that's only because he lives with me. I've tried talking to my friends, but it doesn't get anywhere. What should I do? Please help, I'll rate.
how are you grounded for him living with you.. do they know.. and just split your time.. and call them as much as you can.. and invite them over.. just because you have a boyfriend doesnt mean you and your boyfriends cant hang out with your friends.. and sometimes make it a friends nite out and let ur man do his own thing!

Q: What should i get my mom and dad for xmas? i dont have any money and i cant go out and buy anything so i was wondering if any of you have any ideas on what i could give them or make them? i hope you have some ideas because i only have 2 days! i will rate for effort! ill give you a five!
Get some construction paper.. or even printer paper.. and draw them a nice card.. inside the card put a pic of you and your family and some decorations.. im sure theyll love it.. my mom always does!!

Q: I have a problem: some part of me wants my older sister's approval so much, yet I am nothing like her. She is a good and decent person, if not a little conservative and practical. She is a good role model, but I am not her. I am intellectual, studious and questioning. When I ask her the big questions, she thinks I make a big deal out of little things. But I think she never asks herself the big questions in life or is afraid to.
Why do I want her approval so much? She is a good person and I love her, but why don't I have the fortitude to be my own person?
you look up to her and u want her oppinion.. and thats normal... dont think that because she doesnt answer you she doesnt care.. maybe she is just in a rut of her own... or she just doesnt know how to help..
