i have a bf and we've been together for almost 2 months. its almost the end of the year and i want to get him something. i'm not sure what to get him though. i want it to be meaningful. any ideas? (link)
|
My advice is to make something for him. Something that you have made shows that you care enough to take the time to actually make it. If you guys have taken pictures together then make a scrapbook. If your good at drawing then draw a picture of you both. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it comes from the heart. Hope I helped.

Ok, I love my friends very much don't get me wrong. I have so much fun with them. But tonight I just broke down and started crying because I was so pissed and upset. I feel like I'm always the one being laughed at. We all make fun of eachother, and we laugh together, but I feel like I'm hardly ever taken seriously. One of my friends kept saying stuff, saying I live in the ghetto when I don't. And he knows it, he just wants something to laugh at. I didn't care, and it was funny, but it kept building up. Does this happen with anyone else? What do you do? I'd really like to talk to anyone in the same situation. Thank you so much. (link)
|
I haven't been in this situation but here's my adivce. I think you should talk to your friends about this. Tell them how you feel and how bad you feel when they say stuff like that even if they are just kidding. I'm sure they will understand and stop. Hope I helped.

Dear advicenators,
Age:13
grade:7th going into 8th
I have a father that abuses me but i really don't know what to do i've tried being sucidal but it didn't help at all i also know if i consult the police he will deny it and he will abuse me even more so what should i do? (link)
|
Go to the police! They can set up cameras in your house without your dad knowing. If they have solid evidence it won't matter what your dad says. The police will also take your word about the abuse. Being suicidal helps absolutely nothing. I really hope I helped!

Okay, there is this guy (his name is Gage Tyler) that I am like crazy for. He always tells his friends that he doesn't like me, but yet when one of my friends asks him if he does like me he doesn't answer them. Or like if I come around him, he always leaves, but sometimes comes back around me. It's really weird and all of my friends say that I am too good for him, or he isn't good enough for me. And one of my friend's thinks that he is mentally abusing me?!?!?! Well, please help!! lol. (link)
|
Here's my advice: Get one of your guyfriends who's friends with Gage to tell him you need to talk to him. Tell Gage what's going on and if he says that he doesn't like you, then move on. If he doesn't like you, then he's not worth it. If you ask me, your too good for him. Don't ever put yourself or let someone else put you down by sayin he's too good for you. Hope I helped!

okay my mom doesn't like the kind of music that I listen too. She is threatning to take away my cd's if she hears me listening to it again. Please help........ (link)
|
Try making a deal with you mom. Listen to your music when she's not home or quiet enough that she can't hear it. Listen to the cd's that your mom likes around her and yours when your not around her. If she doesn't hear your music, then she shouldn't have a problem with it. Hope I helped!

Dear Erika,

Dear Confused in love (ChRiSsY),
This is a question that I think has a very obvious answer. First things first, you have a boyfriend. I personally know him and he is sweet and funny and likes you alot. I also know you like him. Sorry to be harsh, but this guy seems like he has no life. You were able to move on, while he obviously wasn't. It seems like he likes you more than you like him. If you don't know if you want to go out with the guy then maybe your not meant to. My advice is to stick with your bf and just do what seems right to you. If nothing else you still have a year until you go to high school. I really hope I helped.

hey i have a g/f who i like tons but i never have time to see her...i wanna talk to her a lot but i always have somethin to do...what should i do fat erika...haha (link)
|
Hey fat joe. Thanks for the question. Here's my advice. Call her more often. You've only called her once this whole summer. She's bummed about that. Go to a friends house to go swimming when she's at the friends house. Like we did today! Lol. Just basically do anything you can to hang out with her. Maybe even start going to her church. Hope I helped.

well this guy that i like says he wouldnt go out with me because i was prude but im not soo he said if i wasnt prude then i have to have sex with him to prove him but now i think about it i dont want to cause i just isnt right at my age (15) and i dont what to say to him that i dont want to have sex with him just to show him im not prude!! everytime i talk to him he always says are u ready to have sex but i always say yes because if u dont then he might spread rumors about me which he is really good at!!! soo i dont know what to do at this point!!! HELP!!!! (link)
|
If you think it's worong to have sex at your age then don't do it. If all he's after is sex then he's definitely not worth it. If he spreads rumors just ignore him and tell your friends what has been happening. They will stay by your side through the whole thing. Find another guy because you can do so much better than him!

hey erika! drama seems to follow me everywhere... and i hate it! i have lost so many friends to gay rumors that aren't even true! my mom always tells me to "kill people with kindness" lol but it never seems to work... i just want to be a normal 13 yr. old who everybody sees as "nice and sweet" but i have a terrible rep. i really want to lose the bad rep. and kinda of start over... please help! i don't want to be the girl that everyone loves to hate! (link)
|
Hey! I think I know who this is but I'm not sure. Here's my advice: Talk to the friends you have lost, those who haven't ever been your friends, and those who are still your friends. Tell them what you've told me. Try to be better friends with everyone. If they still have a problem then forget about them. You tried your best and that's all God and anyone else can ever ask for. I really hope I helped.

Hey everyone, um, i have a really bad problem with looking at porn. the longest i have gone without looking at porn is 1 week. I really honestly think i am losing my faith. I am afraid that i am getting further and futher from God. A lot of bad things have been happening to me and my friends. I cuss a lot more. I do stuff, I look at porn more and more and i cannot stop. Please dont tell me that what i am doing is wrong cuz i know that. I need some really good advice (link)
|
My advice to you is to do your best to stop looking at that kind of stuff. Find something else to watch if you have to or find a new hobby. Also go to church and ask God to forgive you and let him back into your life.

Im going to the beach this month, and I have no confidence when it comes to wearing a bikini. I'm pretty skinny everywhere else except my waistline. (I have really huge love handles that are unproportional to the rest of me.) I've been trying to lose it before this summer, but not seen any progress. Im also uncomfortable wearing bikini bottoms for some reason, I know im weird. So i bought some girl swim shorts that go to my knees (like surf shorts.) Do you think that would look stupid for me to wear those and a small tee or tank top when im swimming? (link)
|
I think that it won't matter when your in the water. Who knows.. Maybe someone will think it's cute and you'll start a trend! :P You never know! Hope I helped!

my friend and her boyfriend broke up and decided to be friends. When I seen them they told me and he was like yeah do you wanna go out I think he was joking but I don't know. I do kinda have a crush on him if I give them time to fix whatever they are doing would it be wrong to go out with him? (link)
|
It's a good idea to see if it's okay with your friend. If it's not alright with her, you might want to wait a while before going out with him. Your friends will always be more important than boyfriends. Hope I helped!

Me and my boyfriend had a massive argument and he hit me. he has never done that before and he was really sorry and said he loves me i broke up with him and he wants me back should i go back to him or move on.

Forget about him. Move on with your life. If he hit you he definitely isn't worth it. He hit you once, he'll probably do it again! Hope my advice helped!
~Erika!
