I'm a hopeless romantic who enjoys reading and writing. I tend to understand people pretty well - or so I've been told - and I always try to help my friends with their problems. I do my best to give advice to those on this site like I would with my friends. I can be pretty blunt at times, and that may make me sound mean, but really, I'm a softy. I can be quite introverted in life, but online I can be quite outspoken. If I give you advice, I really hope it works out for the best because I always have the best intentions in mind!

Okay, this is random but I just wanna know okay :))
I may need a genealogist or whoever knows how to compute these kinds of stuff.
My dad is a full Canadian.
My mom's dad is half Canadian and her mom is a full French. (That'd make her 1/4 Canadian and 3/4 French?)
Anyways, what I'm trying to ask is what is the fraction/percentage of my French and Canadian roots?
Growing up I usually say I'm 1/4 French and 3/4 Canadian but is that really the right computation?
When I add a full Canadian (1) with a (1/4) Canadian, mathematically, that'd make be 5/8 Canadian. Doesn't sound cool to say "I'm 5/8 Canadian"
LOL. Really, I'm just curious. And it's hard to explain to other people cause I'm not exactly half French and half Canadian.
So yeah. If you could help me out, that'd be really nice.:)

Ok. Here's what I think you would be, but there is a bit of mystery since you don't say what else your mom's father is.
First, your mom is 1/2 French, 1/4 Canadian, and 1/4 whatever else her dad is.
Your mom gives you 1/4 French blood, 1/8 Canadian, and 1/8 whatever else.
Your dad gives you 1/2 Canadian blood.
So, in conclusion you would be, as you said, 5/8 Canadian, 1/4 French (that equals 2/8), and 1/8 whatever else.
What you can say to people is: "I'm mostly Canadian with some French and a little bit of something else." Easy to say without getting technical. But you may want to find out what else your grandfather is.

My friend and I like eachother a little bit. We started texting two days ago. He asked for my number and I gave it to him. We exchanged numbers. And everyday after that we texted eachother. He has this girlfriend. While dating her, he has been flirting with me. He told me if things dont work out with his girlfriend he will date me. He also said i was cool and awesome. My bestfriend says he is lying about his girlfriend. We called him up on 3-way. I found out he likes to lie about topics. First he said it has been a month they were together, then later on he said it has been a year.I dont know whether to believe he likes me. Or to beleive him and whatever he says.Or if his girlfriend is real. When i get back to school, i would have to deal with all of this. I dont know what to do next?

Forget about him. He's not worth all this confusion. Yes, you can still be friends with him, but keep it completely casual. The occasional flirting is fine, as long as it isn't too misleading to him. Try to make it clear to him that there will not be anything between you two so it's clear that you are just friends.
If he's lying to you now about his girlfriend, he'll lie if you two were ever in a relationship. To me, it seems he is not to be trusted. If you can't trust someone, don't date them!
The whole "if things don't work out with his girlfriend" stuff is crap. Don't ever settle for being someone's second choice, and chances are he may not even mean it.
Really, just forget about this guy in any romantic way. Friendship is great - especially with someone of the opposite gender because they help show things from a different view - so keep him in mind as a friend.

This thirteen year old kid who lives across the street is in love with me. I am sixteen. I think he is adorable and he looks much older than he really is but I think it is screwed up that I am attracted to him. I feel like such a creep. (link)

There is nothing wrong with falling for someone who is younger than you. My parents have five years between them, and my friend's parents have ten! Three years is really nothing when you think about it. But you're both at a young age, so the difference seems huge. If you feel awkward being attracted to him, don't act on it - at least not yet. For now, just be friends with him and maybe something will come from that friendship. I hope this helps or makes you feel a bit better about your attraction.
