Hey, I made a joke about fashion. Somehow, a few girls got offended by it even though I said it was clearly a joke, and didn't mean it, that i heard it. I tried saying I was sorry bout it all but they still seem to hate me. What should I do to make them believe that I was only joking around? (link)
wear wut u joked about. show them it wasnt tru and make them laugh and apologize and say again that u didnt mean to offend them


ok.. well my stepbrother has ADHD so you would think it would be normal for him to go around acting crazy and stuff. but it is really starting to get out of hand. last night he threatend to kill the whole family while we slept. so we ended up calling my stepmom's parents to take him back to his dad's house. this afternoon my stepmom called and asked for advice from a teenager's point of view since me and my stepbro are around the same age. she wanted to know what i thought we could do to lighten up the situation since it was me his jokes and teasing were pointed at lately. and honestly if i had to decide what was going to happen to this kid i would say i wanted him in an insane asylum, but i dont want to be mean and say that to my stepmom. you got any ideas michael? (link)
Whoa, Im sorry to hear all this. Well is he taking medication? One thing you could do for him is therapy....just a suggestion. Or get him to do activities like sports maybe or drama...sumthing that will take the energy out of him so the time it gets nighttime hes really tired. The therapy might be too dramatic but it seriously could help. Or just be really calm around him for a while and see if yall being calm makes him like bored to where hes not bouncing off the walls. Hope i helped a little. PLZ tell me how things go! IM me if you need more help!


Michael,

My mom is a really good cook and she has like a bunch of stupid, pointless cooking utensis. She is missing this one and i would like to get it for her birthday. Do u know where i could get a green garlic opener.

Sincerely, Dietitians Daughter (link)
i dont know really maybe Bed Bath and Beyond,foleys and jc pennys in the furniture and kitchen area, or maybe Whole Foods. I dont know i dont cook much


what is an emo? (link)
lol well i dont exactly know but i think its short for EMOtion. Its not punk or goth a lil bit of both. Thats wut i heard. Its the new thing most ppl say the new style


so, what do you do if you really like someone and you think they like you because they flirt with you so much but the guy flirts with everyone? I want to tell him, but then if he doesn't I am going to look like a total fool. I try to hang out with him more, but I like him soo much that its hard- he hangs out with a few girls in my class i dont like.

(link)
Well, spend time with him not around ppl and see if his flirting with every1 is just an act. See if he does that just to get grls attention. You may find out stuff you dont really like so you could change ur mind. Find the non flirty guy 1st and if he still flirts with you he might like you.


alright.. i get what you are saying, but i try to just talk to him normally and he doesnt seem to want to talk and he says his excuse is " im just really busy i have other things to do" im not sayin thats not true. and when i ask him to go to the movies with me and my friends he doesnt want to go. and ill ask him for a ride home and he'll say yes but then he'll end up not coming cuz he "didnt know what time to get me" or "hes goin out to eat with friends." maybe hes pushing me away cuz he just doesnt want to be friends anymore or he just doesnt want to get to close because he still likes me? i dont know please help me michael! (link)
So yall used to be good friends? Well maybe he still likes you but is just afraid he'll get too close. He might not want to be friends anymore so if thats the case respect it or things could get bad. But maybe he likes you and just doesnt want to say it. You can never tell since he keeps acting wierd. I dont know him but he might have sumthing hidding away and just isnt ready to tel.. Give him some time but if nothing happens try to like do stuff again or you could maybe ask why dont you like me but that sometimes comes off as crzy to ppl. Well keep me updated i will be happy to answer anything else


Okay, so I know a lot of people who give me all this grief about my clothing. They always say I look so pretty when guys arent around, but when they are I look like I total whore. I don't try to at all. I just buy what is comfortable and what I like. I also get a lot of hand-me-downs. I try to like be 100% modest, but that just isn't me. I usually don't care what people think about me, but for this I don't want a reputation as a whore or slut. Being really modest and covered- up just isn't me. and its weird because im like the quiet type so nobody really thinks of me like that.....what should i do? (link)
OMG clothes are about expressing oneself. Friends dont do that. You are who you are and they shouldnt be telling you 2 different things. Be yourself...friends r supposed to understtand. All you must do is only be you b/c that is what is beautiful. Go buy what you like cuz its ur taste. Hope things get better


I am a girl...! ok well see i really like this guy rite...!? but i dont no if he likes me and i dont want to tell him b/c then i will have to go around school with him knowing that i like him and he will tell all his friends and they will probably like make fun of me or something!! but i like him alot and most of the time i am thinking about him!!! what should i do!? (link)
Well if you dont already spend more time together. See what he finds interesting in ppl(but as other normal questions). Like hang with him more but still keep your distance. But then like for a while stop but like dont ignore him completley and see if he calls you or other stuff it means he might have feelings for you. Just get to know him more and see what he likes and try to see if you have any of the stuff. I hope i help REAL sorry if i didnt! Keep me updated k?


ok, so i went out with this guy over winter break and i thought things were goin really well. we'd stay on the phone for like 3 hours just tellin eachother how much we loved eachother. then one day he broke up with me and i was like totally devastated. but when school started up again, we went out again. but this was for like 2 days. n he told me it was because it was too hard goin out with someone in his bro's grade( freshman, and im a girl so thats even better! ), but he still really liked me and wanted to be friends. well ive been trying my best to salvage at least a friendship with this guy cuz he means almost everything to me,and he doesnt even seem to want to be friends anymore. i mean im trying my best here and i feel that since it was his idea to stay friends if he even likes me 1/25 of 1% of what he used to.. he needs to put some effort into it cuz i dont think i should be the one trying this hard. and its been 2 mos since we broke up but no matter what i tell myself or my very caring friends tell me, i still like him. what should i do? should i give up on him or try to talk to him? (link)
Ok i never delt with this before but i think you should do out of school activities with him but not alone. If you still like him don't put too much effort into showing it. This is sumthing that will take time. For a while just talk to him about normal friend stuff nothing having to do with going out again or any hints of it. Just try 2 do activities that will make him see that all u wanna do is be friends and still hang with him like u used to. I hope this helped if not im sorry. Keep me posted


so i have this friend who always gets mad at me for the wackyest reasons...i never really think they make sense but she does.... she wont admit to me thats shes wrong...and she has this thing where she thinks shes always right! also shes really jelous... i like her alot i mean shes my best friend and everything but sometimes she gets to much in my face! she gets mad at me for EVERYTHING and she wont admit that im right sometimes! it kinda makes me mad and she also never says sorry.. she gets really jelous wehn i dont hang with her and with the popular... she thinks that just bc im turning popular that im gonna leave her!! what should i do?
(link)
Ok i seem to know this problem well. Tell the girl that she makes you feel stupid and that you are right sometimes. Also let her know that you are making new friends and would like to hang with them but yuo will always hang with her and remain friends. Let her know that you care for her and will be there but u still want to hang with other ppl. Make sure u say this in a nice way. Let her know and then listen to what she has to say. Be patient and things will get better.


What is the best way to find out if a girl likes you without making you look like a stupid dumbass? (link)
Ok let the girl know that you will always be there for her not like walking up to her and saying it but showing it though something. Like a card on holidays. Invite her places like to ur house,mall,movies and just try to get to know what she likes. Don't make her feel akward around you though. this will take time not sumthing sudden. I hope i helped and if i didnt im so sorry but keep me posted and if you have anymore question IM me ill answer


Okay, so my friend is a little confused about a guy problem. She's made out with him twice in the hallway, but yet she has no idea how she feels about him. I told her if she really liked him that she should be something more than just his make-out buddy, but she won't listen to my or anyone else's advice. So, since I'd never seen this guy I assumed she was just making it up for attention. But today I saw him and...well he's very flamboyant. Not her type at all. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I think she deserves so much better than him. How can I tell her this without her thinking that I'm jealous or don't want her to be happy? (link)
ok so dont be too upfront with your friend b/c that might be the wrong approach. Ask her why do you like him but in a nice way and find out everything and how she feels. DONT tell her he isnt right b/c she might get mad. Just let her see if she really like him or ask if she wants to go out with him. Remember love can come in wierd forms. This could be a really good relationship. Just pay attention to how they act around eachother to see if they really feel a loving way towards eachother


i have a boyfriend right? But i knoooow i'm in love with this guy and i mean he only lives a million miles away right and it sucks because we really like each other and like i can't stop thinking about him and whenever i talk to my boyfriend it sucks because it's like i dont even like him anymore but i know he still likes me and my life just sucks, Michael.:-/ NO ONE UNDERSTANDS OR CARES!!!!!!!! (link)
Ok well I can tell you really like this other guy so I think you should listen to your heart and go where it takes you. Don't date a guy who you do not hav any feelings for. There are so many other people out there you can fall in love with. The only thing is long distance realationships don't alwats workout. I know this because I've been in one. You wont get to do the normal bf and gf things. But always remember love has no age,location,boundries,or race! Always go where you feel right. Yes, your current bf might not like this but you have to do whats best for you. don't always think about other if you only make yourself feel bad. Also, I care and I understand and I will be there for you for anything!

Yours truly
~michael~
