I'm a senior in high school. I just turned 18 like 5 days ago. There is this sophomore in my high school who really likes me but I dont like him in that way at all. He cant take a hint. He always texts me and writes me on facebook. When I dont respond, he still texts me like every 3 hours. I dont know any other way to tell him to leave me alone without being mean. Can you please help me? Thanks. (link)
Well have you tried just being upfront with him? not being mean just asked him "hey look do you like me?" if he says yes (which he most likely will) just tell him that you think thats sweet and all but you are interested in older guys... or something..if he is your friend just be like "I am not interested in a relationship but I am happy to be your friend" or whatever I mean there really isn't an easy way of going about this but if you do this and he still persists don't feel bad about bringing the heat. yep


I hope this isnt overly detailed, but... My boyfriend and I are both virgins and we decided to have sex last week. He tried to put it in, but it wouldnt go. I was wet so I dont know if lube was the issue, but it felt like he barely even put it in and I was in pain- it felt like he literally couldnt go any further and was just pushing. I really want things to get better, and I feel like even if we practice, it wont make a difference because it literally felt like there was no where for him to push to. What can i do to improve the situation? I would literally appreciate ANY help.
Thanks (link)
em,this is a little awkward..I'm a virgin too so I wouldn't know diddly squat about this either but I do know there is some fancy em thing that separates a virgin girl from a non-virgin girl and from what I was told (unless someone totally pulled my leg) there is a muscle there that must be um..seperated or "broke":the street language or whatever calls it "poppin the cheri) I know that really wierd and awkward but maybe that is why he can't go very far and why you are in pain. but just um..talk to a doc or friends with experience in that or someone who knows a thing or 2 about this subject but yeah i think thats what may be happening in your situation..


Hi, 24/f.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for home remedies/solutions for this issue: I grind my teeth.
Of course, I can't be like normal people and just wear a bite splint to bed to fix it, because I grind my teeth during the day. I'm often aware of myself doing it, and if I catch myself I stop for awhile, but I don't know how to get rid of this habit.

When I was little I used to grind/clench my teeth to the song I had stuck in my head to stop myself from humming out loud because I got picked on for singing. (I'm a singer, I grew up surrounded by music, so there's always something playing in my mind. Using real music instead doesn't help.)
I've tried chewing gum to keep my teeth apart, but that hurts my jaw after awhile - I have jaw tension issues (TMJ problems run in my family)... I'm about to finish my second university degree and am admittedly very stressed, but the grinding doesn't seem to change no matter what my stress level is.

Any thoughts, other than hypnosis, gum, or cognitive behavioral therapy? Lol.
Thanks in advance. (link)
em...how about a mouth piece? like the type boxers use? I know it seems ridiculous but try it around the house? maybe it'll help,or even get some other "habit" started like rub your thumb and middle finger together when you feel stressed or something and perhaps your brain will eventually adapt to this instead and then you will be like "oh I just realized I haven't grinded my teeth in so long" or something like just put your mind to some other physical activity that puts your mind off of grinding as long as it is simple,natural,and not strange. hope this helps and good luck!


I am really interested in playing games with others online. I really enjoy lifestyle themed games. I don't necessarily mean "normal" life. I enjoy fantasy. I also can appreciate a good arcade style game.

Suggestions please! (link)
sims?


Ok so 13/f and in September this guy who is 14 started talking to me on Msn. At first it was to get information on my best friend because he liked her. He practically used me :S In October, he still liked my friend and he admitted to me that he liked me too. I liked him back in October but was way too scared to say anything. Before he could ask me out, in November I got a boyfriend of my own. He was my first. In December, the guy still talked to me 24/7 on Msn and he still liked my best friend. He always asked me for advice on what to do about liking my friend. I gave him good advice and started talking to my friend about it. She doesnt like him at all. In January, me and him started telling each other alot of stuff and we knew we could count on each other to keep it secret. In Febuary, he started getting mad at me because I dont give him much advice any more and I didnt like passing on messages for my bestie from him. I told him Im not his messanger. He then started blackmailing me with the secrets I thought I could trust him with and threatened to tell our whole school. I cried for a week thinking about what would happen. I was scared. I was weak. I didnt know what to do or what to say. He blackmailed me into calling my best friend to send messages for him and get the response. I felt like he was using me. I didnt know what to do about it though. I was scared to talk to him and we never talked at school. By the end of Febuary, we straightened things out. He became my BGFF (best guy friend forever). He stopped liking my best friend and stopped using me as a messanger. He semi stopped blackmailing me too. I was happy. I knew I could trust him again but I didnt tell him any more secrets or things he could use against me. I wanted to but I knew I couldnt. March 1st we were talking and he admitted that all those months of talking to me on Msn he was using me. He hurt me. (Emotionally of course) but he hurt me and I knew it was something that could not be fixed. I blocked him, from Msn, Facebook, and Skype. I changed my email. I had never felt more hurt in my life. And my parents have hit and slapped me alot when I was younger. I never wanted to speak to him ever again. My boyfriend was mad at him for hurting me but didnt tell him that. My former BGFF came up to me at school, he told me he was just kidding but I couldnt believe him. But online, he found a way to talk to me, through people. He asked 6 different people to talk to me for him. He used them as the messanger this time. After about a week, I forgived him. I knew he cared or else he wouldnt be trying to get me back. He explained over Skype that I mean alot to him and we have been through so much. He even started crying. I have never seen him that upset in my life. I unblocked him and gave him my new email. We talk every night on Msn. My boyfriend called me a traitor, he hates my BGFF. My boyfriend doesnt care about me and him being friends anymore though.Last night, my BGFF told me that he wanted to take me to see the Hunger Games movie when it comes out. I didnt know what to say. Well what should I say? Well my story isnt really a question but I just need opinions on all of this. Oh and also when me and my BGFF Skype after school from 4-9, when we have to go, we tell each other we love them (as friends of course) and put up a heart with our hands (if you know what I mean). Should we do this? Anyways, thank you for letting me share my year so far with you. Just want honest opinions. (link)
um..if your going as friends to see a movie and if he seems to be consistent in his character (like he isn't 2 faced) and stuff I don't think there should be a problem with a friend date.. just don't go to see an evening movie afternoon is best. and if he asks you why you can't make an evening movie just tell him an excuse (homework or something)



13/F
i cut myself, arms, wrist, legs. & i want to stop but idk how. i've tried the rubber band trick but i doesnt work it makes me want to do it more. :/ & everytime my friends confiscate my scissors, blades, etc. i get really mad and i do it even more. Help? :/ (link)
You want to have scars the rest of your life? Just stop,look in the mirror, and ask yourself "why am I doing this?" nothing is worth hurting yourself. Find the source of why you cut yourself, identify it, and get rid of it. If someone is hurting you or has hurt you do not be afraid to get help from the local police or social services or talk to your school counselor and end this!


So, I just turned 18 3 months ago. I dropped out of high school my sophomore year. I was an above average student, but I started doing poorly and eventually just stopped attending. I was having problems in school with bullying due to sexual orientation, then those same problems transferred to home after they found out about it at school. Apart from that my family split up and I was left with my father, he didn't force me to go back to school not that I would of anyway in that past state of mind. I was very depressed as well as physically ill due to my deep depression.

Well it's been 3 years now I'm now better, I want to get my G.E.D or if possible maybe a High School Diploma, but I'm more inclined to a G.E.D because I don't want to have to repeat all of my high school year. I'm a pretty anxious and troubled person, when it comes to very populated scenes. I'm working on it, but it's very difficult. :(
After earning m G.E.D I would like to go to a tech school for culinary arts. I've searched online a bit for information but I feel very lost and anxious about all I've read any guidance at all would help. I'm looking for a college in or near NaperVille / Elk Grove Village / Bensin Ville Illinois to sit down and attend an actual class or at least to take the final test after the information they hand to study. I would prefer it over earning it online.

I found a few sites about Illinois G.E.D test programs ( http://www.my-ged.com/ged-testing-programs/illinois/default.aspx )but I feel a bit over whelmed...and do to the fact my father doesn't understand much English I feel alone in this.

Can anyone help me at all?? Even a, "calm down it will all be alright." Will do me wonders... (link)
hey bud, it's gonna be okay! I flip out around lots of people too,like I throw up. but I've gotten better. I learn to take a deep breath, and not even think about what others think of me. I'm overweight so I'm always worried about what girls think and stuff, but I've learned to love who I am and either people accept me for who I am or they can just jump in a lake!! Look a G.E.D is cool and all, but high school diploma looks better in your application. If you want,you can transfer to a smaller, 1 A high school or,if you want, a larger high school where diversity is more prevalent. All in all find out the requirements to the tech school you wish to attend and hit the books! I'll be thinking of you and just remember that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!


Okay well I have know this girl since first grade and i have pretty much told her every single one of my secrets but this past year she has been blowing me off and doing stuff with guys that she knew i liked and actually got high and gave a bj to one of the guys oi have liked for years and she only met that night. And its getting to the point where idk if i want to be her friend anymore because yeasterday we were supposed to go to the mall with me but she out of no where cancelled and wouldn't tell me why, then i went on facebook and i saw that the girl who was my ex-bff bc she told my secrets, posted on her facebook saying that they had such a good time to day and that she was now over at her house. then i texted her and told her i had to talk to her tomorrow and its serious and she replied no fuck you. At this point, i just don't know what to do anymore and sometimes i have this horrible feeling around her, but if i stop being friends with her, she is the type of person to spread all my secrets and if i stay friends with her she will make my life miserable. and its not like i can get away with her because i have 3 classes with her and she is my only 'friend' in any of them. (link)
Um I'm pretty sure she has shared a lot of your secrets already but hey don't worry about it let it go and let her run her own life down. If she is hindering your life no get out of that friendship and just ignore her. heck don't do what I did and just "lived" with it. I would move on kid there are better people out there,you just gotta take the time to look for 'em and let 'em come to you :)
or, you can do this. go up to her, grab her,say her name loud and clear, and ask her what the hell is her problem?whats going on and what happened? go to her house or somewhere away from school and just make her listen. Someone may have lied about you and made her believe you did something or maybe she has a secret that is so bad she is taking it out on you or something.. either way just do whats best. hope this helps some


There's this guy that i've liked for 5 years. He makes me laugh a LOT, he stares at me like all the time, he smiles at me, and more. But lately, i've noticed something: he's been talking to certain girls right in front of me. 2 girls. But only in front of me or when i'm around. Like this one time, we were in English class, and he asked one of the girls an English question when I walked by them. Does he like me or not? (link)
gosh your patient lol! Yeah he likes you. But,like me, he may not have the gut to confront you because he fears that you will take it awkwardly and stop being his friend. Us guys take things like that better but you girls a lot of times I lost friends just because I told them I liked them (lets just say my relationship life has been mostly fails). So just talk to him about it I mean seems like you two are good friends so it shouldn't hurt. IF he doesn't just be like okay I just wanted to clear that off my chest and just ask him in a way that is neutral to where he has to answer you in a straight yes or no. but ey I am pretty positive that yes, he does like you. hope this helps and good luck! ;)


My brother thinks that this guy thinks I'm cute but...

This kid has been staring me a lot lately but never tries talking to me. He gave one of my close friend a flashdrive and told him to blame me for throwing it at him. He did this twice. I honestly don't know why someone would think I'm cute because Im going through that ackward phase where you turn kinda ugly... DO you guys know why he is doing this? Im 13/f. Thanks. (link)
I'm a 19 year old m. Okay so from our side of the field, he is going through the girls don't seem to have cooties anymore type phase and really doesn't know how to go about telling you how he feels. Or maybe he is just stupid and wants to pick on you but if he does like you, then this is what's going on. The hormones are all out of whack and he likes you, the trees, the power rangers suddenly suck ,and xbox is in! Don't worry about it, next time he pulls a stunt just pull him aside (literally grab him when it's break time and confront him..let him know whats up) and tell him how you don't appreciate the way he is acting towards you and if he has something to say just say it. If you feel that it's no big deal, don't worry about it. just be sure not to show any signs of agitation or else he will be more..em..annoying. And most importantly know that you are NOT ugly!! take that word out of your vocabulary! by the fact that he stares at you a lot, he may very well be interested in you, but seriously don't worry too much about this us boys can get even more annoying lol ;) hope this helps in some way clear up your issue! peace


I'm 16/f and one of my closest friends is 21/m. We've known each other since O ctober, and we have instantly become great friends. Seriously, we do everything together and i would trust him with anything etc. There's very few people i actually trust.

Everyone jokes about me a him being together and how he's in love with me, how we're sleeping together and all that - even though we're not. All this started about a month and a half ago and i thought everyone would have dropped it by now! But they've just got worse.

One of our mutual friends said to me that Jack genuinely does like me and whenever anyone jokes about him liking me he always goes 'yeah but i actually do though' and asks if its wrong. Well this guy who told me was pretty convincing and i dont think he would be saying it to wind me up. He also told me yesterday that Jack's convinced himself off the idea because of the age gap.

If anything was to happen between us, do you think the age gap matters? My parents know and like him so that's not the problem, most of my friends know him and get on with him, i'm just not sure id want anything more with him because of how it would make him look! (link)
Hmmm... Well 16 with a 21 year old is like a 20 with a 25 year old. It's a normal age gap. However it's like me ,(19), being with a 14 year old. Little weird.. Not because the age difference more so it's the maturity level. Sorry kid I can't see myself kissing,loving, and whatever else with a 14 year old. Love is love I know but love can wait. Not to mention it's illegal for anyone over the age of 18 to associate in a relationship with someone underage (well at least I think that's right..'least for Texas) So think twice because IF you two really do like one another ya'll can wait 4 years and have an excellent friendship and by then you will be "of age" and all will be good! :)
