advice

ok i was on vacation at this place my grandparents take us to with all our family, sorta like a camp, and i was singing at the dance one night, and it was sorta like the kick off of the weekend, and they were gonna pay me 200 dollars for each song depending on how good i did, and i really needed the money because my grandmother wanted a new camper, and i wanted to help out. but my x boyfriend showed up in the middle of my song and i choked and skipped a few notes when i saw him, because i really did still love him and we broke up because we moved. anyway i told the person that sold us the camper i would have the 600 dollars the next day, and since i choked i came up 100 dollars short, and i dont wanna tell my grandmother because i feel as if i let her down, and i dont want her to think i did. i dont know how to get the other 100 dollars.

dear pr0blems,
she'll definately understand but if your still feeling guilty, try other ways to get money you could always get the money out of your bank account. but then again, i don't think you were the only one trying to get money. don't worry about it because you have no reason to, and at least you can say you tried!

im not asking for a rating...

(Sorry if this turns out really long!) I've only been cutting myself for a little over two weeks but I'm already addicted. I told my boyfriend first because I vent to him a lot. I trust him and he can comfort me. Then later I told my teacher and she suggested for me to talk to my school counselor. My teacher told my parents, too. My mom talked to me but it wasn't about ME, it was about what my sister went through. It wasn't helpful. So I talked to the couselor. She freaked out and kept telling me, "You can't do that! STOP! You have to stop! If you do it again I'll tell the principal!" That is not what I expected from her. It wasn't helpful or encouraging. It was threatening! It almost made me want to cut! Later that day I was sitting alone in the gym slicing the skin on my arms and my Gym/Health teacher saw me and made me go alone in a room with him to talk. He kept telling me that even though life may suck now, it'll get better because I "have a good mind". I didn't think it was helpful either, but I started crying. Everytime I had to talk to someone, I wanted my boyfriend there holding my hand helping me endure it. I feel uncomfotable around everyone but him. One day my teacher actually tried to send me home because I was cutting and crying and miserable. I told her I didn't want to go home, I just wanted to talk to James. (James is my boyfriend.) She said she couldn't let him out of class. I glared at her and wouldn't talk to her. She called my parents and they took me home. The whole time I wanted to scream, "I JUST WANT JAMES!" When I got home I just reread old notes from my bf. He's the only one who can comfort me and it feels like he's the only reason I go on living. Do I depend on him too much? How can I stop cutting if I have nobody to talk to? Please comment or give advice! Sorry so long!

dear cutting,
cutting is a way to relieve stress, right? well anyway, going to james all the time isn't bad. try talking to your mom more and tell her the truth, tel her you didn't think the advice she gave you last time didn't exactly help. ask her maybe if she could hide the razors from you or something. and as i said cutting is a way to releive stress and a way to kill yourself, well instead why not do a sport or something to keep you occupied. try picking up a hobbie, because anything is better than killing yourself. if that doesn't work, i hate to say it but GO TO JAMES!!! if he really loves you, he'll try his best to keep you safe, and if he refuses, thats ok too because he doesn't want to interfere in your life too much and get you into trouble ( i think ) but im sure he will be willing to help. IM me (AIM) and we can talk...shortie10993 is my sn. but i don't think you'll have to come running to me because from the way it sounds, james is going to help you...

my friends are making me really mad because i like this boy and he used to with my cousin. i was all happy on my birthday and thought he liked me. and at my party, i find out that hes already talking to somebody and he used to go with my cousin. i dont talk to him on the phone, but at school we talk all the time. maybe he only likes me as a friend. but then why does he like to give me massages and likes to flirt. its annoying and i dont ever want to see him again. because i feel like ive been cheated because ive been getting the wrong messages from him. and i dont no, i just wish my parents would ship me off to boarding school. because im really, really hurt right now. by him and my friends, and my cousin. because she always gets what she wants. and im sorry this is so long, but what should i do?

dear confused,
you don't have to do anything. you can still talk to him and you know your cousin and him arent going to be dating forever. look at the bright side, maybe if you get to know him enough, he'll break up with your cousin and go straight to you! keep your chin up, and don't let it drop. IM me (on AIM)to tell me how things are working out. good luck....

14/f...my friend told me that she was going away this weekend so i didnt invite her over..bu then i saw her profile on AIM and it said she was at her other friends house..so basically she lied to me and i now i dont know what to do..i am afraid to ask her about it..and i really dont want to..=/

dear girls,
you don't have to ask her about it if you don't want to. maybe when you go to school you could ask her how her vacation was. just act typical like you never looked in her profile

personally, what i would do is say, how was your weekend, where did you go? if she says that she went somewhere then say, i looked in your profile and it said you were at your friends! you know you could have told me. its not like i wouldve got mad!

so mainly, just tell the truth. but remember, YOU ABSOLUTLY DO NOT HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING. you don't even have to ask how was her weekend. just try and be nice and not get into a fight.

I woke up this morning and i've had it all day and this monday i have to sing for a competition...wat are some good remedys for a sore throat and is it safe??

dear singing,
ive heard wearing a scarf around your neck works. you could also try drinking hot cocoa. i think you could call a doctor and ask too. don't overwork your voice, because that is the main cause of a sore throat and loosing your voice. thats all i could come up with...

is it just me?...or is it just the way my friend acts?...or are others like this also?..

there is this girl Angie...ive known her for about 4 years already..theres time where were close, like best friends. but lately shes been so annoying!..i get so irritated by her!..juss things she does!..shes so fake! and just doesnt know how to be herself! and she'll be so loud just to get attention!!...

anyone else hate this about someone?!

dear angie issues,
yes, ive felt that way. you just have to "teach" angie to be herself. you don't have to tell her shes getting on your nerves but you can give her hints. whatever you do, be nice. sort of act low key around her and maybe she will too. if shes one of those people that you can't belive watever she says then don't believe whatever she says! and remember, you don't always have to spend time with her. you can do whatever you want. if she wants to hang out after school, say you don't feel like it, or say your probably going to be busy. don't hurt her feelings because its probably a phase. just be patient.

Bad posture runs in my family. My mom's shoulder is one higher than the other, and she constantly slouches. Ive noticed over the past year, i have been becoming the same way. I cant even stand up or sit up straight because it hurts. My shoulders are slouched, and ive already gone to the doctor to get it checked out. They said i dont have scoliosis (spelled it wrong), but how am i supposed to improve my posture if it hurts?

dear bad posture,
maybe you should try another doctor? either that try a chyropractor. they can help a lot! but think about it, why do you want good posture? do people make fun of you? or do you jsut want to be like everyone else. just think of it this way, we are humans, and humans are not perfect, they crack their knuckles, they eat way too much junk food, and in your case, you have bad posture. its not your fault and it doesn't always have to be a bad thing.

I'm sixteen years old, and I'm in a long distance relationship. (I'm a girl.) I mean long distance. I used to live in Mississippi, but my parents moved to California about a year ago. I met this guy through my sister, they were really good friends when we lived there, and we completely hit it off. We've been together for a year now, and I fly out there every chance I get. I mean things were serious, he has bought me a ring and everything, and we always talked about how we were gonna get married, how many children we'd have, etc. Lately, things have been kind of rough. He gets so angry with me about everything I say, and it gets scary. I admit, sometimes I do bring it on myself, but he always gets entirely too pissed. Tonight, I was talking to him about my friend, and he kept talking about how ugly and disgusting she is, and I asked him if when we broke up, he said that same stuff about me. He got completely pissed off, said I was fucking someone out here, and that I was a liar, and all I ever do is start shit with him. Well, we broke up. I'm feeling really fucking alone and empty right now. I just need to know how to feel better.. I can't stop thinking about it and I'm going insane. I want him back so fucking badly, he's my best fucking friend in the whole world and I really, really, REALLY am hurting. I thought we would make up, so I didn't take it seriously, and then his mom made him get off the phone, and I just knew it was over. I was crying really badly, and I told him and I hated him and I wished that he was dead. I regret it so fucking much, but he's not gonna care. Please, just give me some advice on how to get over him, or get him back and stop pissing him off, or something.

dear long distance relationship,
getting over him will take a while but you have to think, god has a plan for you. maybe his plan was for you to marry someone else, but who knows? he could come around and say he wasn't being himself, but you shouldn't call him back. if its been around a few weeks or even a month, call him and say, "Ive been thinking," tell him how you really feel, don't get into anything really about you, try to talk about him and what's been going on in his life, talk about school, his friends, movies, whatever has been going on. DON'T talk about your break-up. try and be sensitive. good luck

my dad and my stepmom are havin a baby. should i feel sad or happy

dear baby,
yes you should be happy! you might not be as excited because your dad's not having a baby with your real mom, but birth is a wonderful thing! you might as well be happy because i don't think their going to get an abortion. just try to think of it as an adventure-someone new in the family!

here it goes, my friend has always been nice to me, but after she she got this new group of friends... every time i come ova her house it's "Wanta invite my friend ova".when eva her friends are ova she's not herself anymore. i tryed to talk her about it but,now she thinks i hate her friends(which I do). anyway how can i keep my friendship and stil get time alone with my friend?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dear girl help,
the next time your over your friends house and she says that say "NO" if she asks why say, "i've told you before, they aren't my kind of friends and when your around both them and me, well you don't act like yourself!" if she says ok and everything goes well, good! but if she gets mad, jsut ask where the phone is so you can call your mom or whoever's home. if you want you can try hanging out with the other girls and just act the same as them. you might start to fit in, but if that doesn't work, IM/email me and i think ill ahve something up my sleeve...

okay, im 14/f and i havent had a boyfriend yet all my friends have at least been asked out and many have had boyfriends..no one has asked me yet and im old fashioned i wont ask a guy out i really want a boyfriend and all my friends have one i think im ugly and thats why no one asked me out please help me--desperate

dear boyfriends,
personally, i don't think theres any reason to have a boyfriend when he doesn't have a car because then you can't go anywhere unless your moms willing to drive you around! but if you really want a boyfriend just be patient. remember, guys are more afraid of you than you are of them, so you just have to stand your ground until one brave enough is willing to ask you out! whatever you do, don't try to channge your image, just be yourself. it sound corny but its true!

here it goes- i am 14 years old, and i still havent gotten my period.. is that a bad thing? or is it normal? please help!

dear period,
of course its normal! don't worry! i know people who have gotten their periods at age 16! you'll probably get it soon, ask your mom, or a female adult you know that you "trust." sometimes they can easily tell wehn you're probably going to get your period by your weight. (thats what my mom said!) but you have no reason to worry

ok, so i've been wanting that perfect smile for years now..and i just saw the commercial for rapid white brush on, and it seems like a good product (even though its on tv-shop :P) do you think its a good product that works? have you heard anything about it? any answer would be helpful! i rate high ;)

dear rapid brush,

no, i havn't heard anything about it, but anything is worth a try. i tried crest white strips a while ago, and they worked pretty well. although i stopped using them becasue i had other things to do and they sort of slipped off my teeth. i think you can go to the dentist too. they can whiten your teeth but i think it costs a lot of money. so yes, i think you should try the rapid whyite brush because it might just work.
hope i helped

i can't decide who i should trust and has my back. so what type of kids should i not trust?

dear trusworthy,

it is soooo completely hard to decide but just to be safe DON'T TELL YOUR SECRETS TO ANYONE especially if you don't know who to trust. it'd be better if you told your mom, or someone related. if your someone that people can trust thats a big responsibility. it is for everyone else, right? a secret is worth a million times to be embarrased, a million times to be ashamed, a million times to be hurt. you don't want to risk even 1 of the million, do you?

baisically you have to be careful about the peopl you trust. you should know them, for example life-long friends. but no matter who you trust remember the million.
