Hey, there's this guy who I'm almost positive likes me, and I only like his as a friend. I'm going to see him and his friends tomorow, and I'm pretty sure he'll ask me out. How can I tell him I don't like him that way without screwing thigs up?

Say you would rather just start out as better friends then going out.

ok so I really like this kid and he likes me. He's supposed to be coming over before school starts with my cousin and her bf. The thing is, my mom doesn't want us in the house because it's "nice" outside. I really wanna do stuff with him but where and how?? And also, if we do happen to do stuff what can I do to make it not feel so awkward?? thanks

You can still do stuff just take a walk around the black try going somewhere secret maybe he'll get it that you wanna be more then just friends.. Have alot of things to talk about so its not awkward

Alright so the start menu/task bar/ thing on my computer used to run along the bottom...but my friend did something (she doesn't know what) so now it is running vertically along the right side. If you know how to reverse this so it is at the bottom again i would really appreciate it. I'll rate 5's for anyone who can give me directions on changing it.

Right click on the task bar and press Horizontal

Well first off you got some pretty shitty friends if they were gonna rat on you and tell your parents they can trust you " If you would just givehim a chance you could see how nice he is" Maybe if your parents let him over just to hang out with your bro they could see...

lately, i've been really sensitive. i usually dont let my mom get to me but she yells at me and i feel like crying. why am i being so sensitive all of a sudden????

Its ok this is very normal when my dad yells at me i just wanna cry too and sometimes its good to just let it out but while your crying think about what your crying about.. maybe it will make you cry more or mayb it will make you stop..

i got my belly button pierced 2 months ago and its still red/swollen i think its infected wat do i do? i heard u arent supposed to put neosoprin on it? what should i put on it, and can i treat it without removing my belly ring?

yes i think you should take out to treat it and then if it gets better and hasnt closed up try putting it back in. Also you might wanna try getting a diffrent ring maybe if its fake itd hurting your skin.

Whenever I babysit, the parents always ask me "How much do you pay per hour?". The truth is, I don't have a rate, and they always overpay me, which I don't mind :D, but I think it's impolite to take more than 15 dollars an hour. How can I politly set a reasonable babysitting rate that isn't too much or too little?

You should probrablly tell them how much and hour if you dont like them giving you to much just say like 10$ and if your really good they'll give you more :)

Hey, major question i have. Ok, i went to a softball game and i was sitting on the bleachers...and on the other side of the field i saw 2 people...the one of them looked like a guy from were i was sitting and the other one...was a girl, and i thought they were friends or somthing...so, then i started thinking, wow that guy is pretty cute...so then, i realized i looked at him a bit longer...and realized it was a girl...a very tomboyish girl,so...does that mean i'm like...lesbian or just made a common mistake?
~Brina

That isnt lesbian at all hun just because u mistaked girl for a guy and thought they were cute.. i dont think so. That is very sad for the girl though

Ok my hair used to be the same try using "cat walk" tryusing curls walk.. or matrix its thick so its will keep your hair down try going to sallys and tell them about ur hair puffing up they'll give you just what you need
