okayy well this is all over internet
like these people i don't know in real life but anyway
i made this best friend over internet named sally,
we have been besties for EVER. well ever since august of last year. anyway
she has made an enemy her name is adriana
welll
adriana is my friend and one day sally told me not to talk to her
i said okay
well i've been secretly talking to adriana
and sally figures out
now she is all like i hate you
we are not friends and blah blah blah.
i was very sad yesterday but today i realized
its over internet
why am i taking this so seriously.
but i am still sad because i dont have sally
she told me to wait till thursday and she will know by then if she wants to be my friend or not.
pretty stupid i know.
i told her that i should be able to choose my own friends.
she totally ignored my message.
and on AIM she ignored me to but only made stupid smiley faces ever now and then while i just spilled all my feeling to her.
i really don't know what i'd do if sally tells me on thursday she doesnt want to be my friend
and i know you guys are gonna say
she isnt your friend if she treats you like that
but i can't just stop liking someone i've liked and known for a while now. (link)

Well...i'm not going to say that she isn't your friend, but if you and her have been close for a while, she may feel a little betrayed that you continue to talk to Adriana. But I'm also not going to tell you that you shouldn't be friends with either Sally or Adriana. You chose them to be your close friends for a reason and Sally should know that. maybe you should tell Sally that even though she doesn't like Adriana, she is still a good friend to you. Say, "i'm sorry that you don't really like her but I do, and I don't want to lose another friend. But that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate our friendship."
She will probably think about it and realize that she wasn't very smart about it and that she doesn't want to lose your friendship.
But whatever you do, be careful with making friends with people on the internet without ever actually seeing or talking to them. Most people don't realize how clever predators can be with making themselves appear to be your age. (but i'm sure you've heard that plenty of times before!)
good luck!

ok. so i have heard this song before, but i've never heard the name of it. i love love love it! but i just don't know what it is. it is a guy singing in it, and it talkes about like, rain and oceans and stuff. and its NOT "Make It Rain" haha jk. its a slow song. it sounds sorta kinda rockish. idk. please don't tell me to google it cause i already tried that. so please help me!!! thank you! (link)
|
well....is it a recent song or could it be from another decade??
here is a website dedicated directly to songs dealing with rain. it is a lot to look through but it might be of some help.

well, to start with, my boyfriend and i were together for 7 months and i'm pretty sure i loved him. i broke up with him because we fought way too much. for about a week we didnt talk and he literally went crazy..he was extremely heartbroken and he got very depressed and did drugs etc..after a few weeks we became close again..TOO close.. we still hung out and i began telling him i loved him again and it even got to the point where we were kissing and cuddling when we hung out. well, a couple months ago i had told him i hadnt kissed any other guys when i had actually kissed two and he found out and got mad and it started a big ordeal because we were single and i didnt see the big deal. i knew it was wrong that i lied though. anyways, about a month ago i hung out with this guy and started to like him, and my ex boyfriend got extremely mad and called me a liar and said i played him for kissing him and then starting to like another guy..but i couldnt control it..well anyways my ex boyfriend and i decided to stop talking, and about 2 weeks ago he left me EXTREMELY MEAN voicemails calling me a worthless slut, saying he hated me and to burn in hell and im a bitch, etc. i called him back and told him i didnt want us to be hostile (i was crying while talking to him) and he had no right to say that and he told me to stop crying and then he ended up being mean again so i hung up. shortly after, he left me MORE voicemails, not to mention got on aim and called me a whore, etc. needless to say, i completely stopped talking to him. about a week and a half later he called and apologized and i told him i'm glad he apoligized but i cant forgive him right off the bat and were better off not talking because that was just unneccessary and he really hurt me and he said that was fine because he had loved me way too much to be only friends with me. so we havent been talking for about a week and a half and the thing is..I MISS HIM LIKE CRAZY. im trying to move on and i didnt let any of it bring me down..but heres my question..should i begin talking to him..only as friends..and tell him i forgive him..or just let it be and let myself move on? i really do like talking to him and he was always here for me..but yeah..any opinions on what would be best will help! thank you and ahh im so sorry this is so long (link)
| |
well i really don't think that all of those things that he said were anything that he really meant. He was obviously very heartbroken over the whole ordeal and that was his way of dealing with it. sometimes the easiest ways to get over a person is to be angry with them or say mean things. While those things he said hurt you, you shouldn't put your feelings for him aside. You should talk it all out with him. You don't want to lose him, but you also don't want to be with someone who could be so hurtful. If he is truly sorry for what he did, you should forgive him but take it slow getting back with him. starting completely over from the beginning might be the best thing now!

There is this girl on my bus and nobody really talks to her or hangs out with her but noone thinks shes a freak. She used to be one of my really good friends but we just stopped hanging out. I feel bad because shes always lonley but i dont want her to think im one of her really good friends because i dont want to be and she keeps writing about the past and what not. So should i talk to her on the bus? just so she has someone to talk to or should i just not so she doesnt get the idea that i want to be her best Friend again? (link)
|
so if there isn't anything wrong with her, then why don't you want to be her friend again? She might be going through something right now that she really needs someone to talk to and since you used to be friends she feels like you would be someone to confide in. But to answer your question, talking to her doesn't make her your new best buddy but it probably would help her to feel a little better. The next time you are on the bus, maybe stop to chat with her for a few minutes, or at school maybe you can introduce her to someone else that might actually want to be a good friend with her. She's probably a really great person, but not as outgoing as most, so to have someone notice she exists would probably help her self esteem to help her come out of this shell she is hiding in.
Good luck!

i honestly dont know what to do anymore. i really like my ex and i know he likes me but every time we talk about it he says he doesnt want a gf right then. we have known each other since kindergarten and are really good friends besides this issue but i think this is ruining our friendship b/c he cant make up his mind. i already confronted him about this too and it doesnt seem to have any effect. should i move on or wait for him?
HELP ME!!!!!!
(link)
|
i don't think you should move on quite yet. This guy obviously means a lot to you. But it almost seems like he knows you will always be there, so he knows he can keep you hanging there as long as he wants. If I were you, I would go flirt around with other guys and let him know that you can move on. Maybe then he'll see that everything can't be on his time. You should have a say in it as well.
good luck!

Does anyone know of any movies that are about 2 best friends who like each other, then go to the next level (romance), and end up ruining the whole friendship?
Or even a movie about 2 friends that like each other is fine. Thanks, I need a few! (link)

ok, so i have a friend. let's call him abraham. he just broke up with one of my best friends, who we'll call sally. sally broke up with him in a really horrible way about 2 weeks ago. after the breakup, i helped him get through it and i talked to him on the phone and we've become really close. so he's getting better and sally doesn't know that we're close. so i've been saying for a while that i'm really excited for the girl's sweet sixteen. so this is an excerpt from an online conversation.
abraham: so now that you and [my ex] are over
abraham: and me and sally are over
abraham: i wonder what's going to happen at the sweet sixteen.
does this mean something or am i imagining meaning? he took a while to say the third thing so i thought he was going to ask me out for a second. could he possibly like me or was that completely innocent?
(link)
| |
i wouldn't get too excited about it just in case, but it definitely sounds like he is considering that he wants to be with you. he obviously was hinting with the first couple phrases regardless of the third. good luck! and i'm sure you will have a great time at the sweet sixteen!

Okay so i herd that walking is better then running for loosing weight. So if you take a walk for 30 minutes everyday and then do 10 sit ups 5 crunches and 100 that excercise thing for your abs... and eat heathy can you loos weight or do i have to exercise more or less eat less or more?
my eating
Breakfast - nothing (most of the time) sometimes cereal)
Lunch- Apples&sandwich
Dinner-Rice or somethingelse.. a dinner meal (all sorts of things)
Is that okay and plus my excersising? or should i excersise and eat less please help?
Thanks,

the other answers are good as far as food, but i've always heard you lose more weight by running instead of walking. What happens is when you get your heart rate up, it helps you metabolize food quicker. Also i learned in a class at my college that by eating less calories you lose a pound for every 3500 calories. So say you cut back 500 calories a day, you would be losing a pound in a week. So you should think of everything that you would eat in a normal day and go to calorieking.com and add up those calories. Then just cut back 250 or 500 depending on how fast you want to lose weight. But just make sure that the calories you do eat have all the nutrients that you need.

i dont know what to get my boyfriend for his birthday or just something as a gift to him when i feel like it. i just need some ideas. he luvs to play guitar and he wants a new electric gutar and i was thinking about saving up my money for that and then giving it all to him, but i dunno i wanna get him random gifts cuz i didnt get him that much on valentines day (link)
|
my best friend dates a guitar player and she did one of the neatest things...
she took a picture of the two of them and framed it and glued guitar pics all around the frame. on each pic, she took a white out pen and wrote short phrases, (nicknames for each other, etc.) on each one. it turned out great and meant a lot.

Why are guys turned on by not wearing underwear? I once told this guy I was, and he was like running out of breath ;]. haha but seriously, what's so great about not wearing underwear? (link)

that's easy. it's easier access...for watching or actually getting to. thoughts of any private area on a woman being exposed is like winning the lottery to a guy.

What are some good ways to get over a guy?
I liked him for a while, but i realized that he was a jerk.
I really hate him, but at the same time, my heart still flutters everytime i see him.
I've been kind of forcing myself to read his posts on other girls walls to prove to myself that he's not a great guy. its kind of working.
what else can i do? (link)
| |
wow. i'm in the same situation right now actually. i can't help it but i just can't seem to get over him. But what helped for a while was, I blocked him on my messenger programs so he wouldn't even have the opportunity to talk to me(even though he never did anyway) i couldn't see what his status was since he was blocked. I quit looking at his myspace and facebook pages (for a few days. it was hard not to) and i avoided him at all costs. This takes a lot of will power to do, but if you are really serious about moving on, it takes it. In the mean time, tell your good friends what you are trying to do and make them hold you to it. Go out with them, do fun stuff, answer other peoples questions on this website, anything that will keep you busy and help you think of other people instead of the heartache you are going through. And give it time.

So on Saturday night, I went with my best friend Bridgette to a movie night at a boy named Robert's house. She only knew her boyfriend and Robert, and I didn't know anyone. There was a couple other people there (girls and boys) but there was one guy in particular that i was interested in. and it seemed that he was interested in me as well, his name is Jacob.
after everyone left and it was just Bridgette, Robert, Jacob and me. and Jacob made me scoot over on the couch so he could sit next to me.. theres about 3 other couches in the room and he kept flirting with me alot.
and then his phone died and he needed to call his mom so he asked to borrow my phone, and so i let him. and he goes "now i have your phone number. i'm gonna text you at like 2 tonight okay?" and i was like so excited about it. we've been texting pretty much nonstop since then.. and that night i asked him if he was single. and he said he'd been with this girl on and off for a year and nine months, but for the past 3 months all they've been doing is arguing and he said he knew it was going to end soon, which is why he was flirting with me so much.
and this morning he tells me that they're over, and that he cant wait to hang out with me this weekend, so he can really get to know me better.
and i just dont know if he is just wanting some ass, like a rebound. or if he really did know it was ending with his girlfriend, and he really did fall for me.
i could use all the help i could get.
so help, please! (link)
|
it could both be true. Just play it safe, and don't get too emotionally attached to quick. If he was with this girl for that long, it might not take long for him to start regretting ending it with her. But it sounds to me like he is glad that is over and you just showed up at the right time in his life!
good luck!

OKay i come from a fairly rich family and im about to turn 16, my grandparents are buying me a car and a chose a Mercedes-Benz. So i took the brochure to school the other day to pick out which model i wanted and some of my friends are like "wats u looking at?" and i said "im picking out my car." they were like "ur getting a new Mercedes?" and i said yes and they started yelling about me being a spoiled brat and now some of them wont talk to me anymore... wat shold i do???

well don't worry about them. that is a typical reaction of people your age. I remember when I turned 16 it made me furious with my friends that got brand new cars when they turned 16, especially something like a mercedes. But the only thing you can do is just let it go, and whatever you do, don't mention your car. even though you may not be, it typically comes across as bragging and that is something no one likes very much. and when you get it, take them for a spin if they need a ride. they'll love it!

I know you get trillions of these questions, but...
theres this boy and i've just started to become friends with him.
i really really like him alot, and already care about him alot.
I want to know, should I get a really good friendship going and then
tell him i like him? or should i tell him early in the friendship?
because he's someone i'd like to be friends with, even if he didnt like me back...
but if we were to go out, i wouldnt want a silly little fling... i'd want a real relationship.
any opinions are appreciated : ) thanks. (link)
| |
i think you should wait it out a little bit. Get to know each other better without becoming best buddies. That can sometimes mess things up
|
|
ive been with this boy for almost one year..I know, amazing. and i really love him. but i want to do something special for this one year. any ideas at all? thank you so much! *our anniversary is in about a couple days* (link)
|
the more creative you get the better. make it something he will never forget. And mostly make it something fun. Like the other answer said, go out during the day sledding or any kind of physical activity, ice skating, fishing (depending on the type of guy he is) and then do something romantic that night.
one of my good friends did this for his girlfriend and she loved it. I know it is different between guys and girls and things they like, but he took a story book that he knew that she really liked as a child, and cut the names out and pasted theirs in there. .I think the book was something like, "i love you this much". or something like that. it was adorable. And she made him a scrapbook with pictures and other things that were good memories, i.e. concert tickets, etc. It really just depends on what he's into. Is he an outdoor type guy, is he really into music...and go from there. hope this helped!

okay....i wanna know if i'm blowing this out of proportion...... my friend, who says shes my bff, likes the guy i like, and he likes her back. i was @ his house with her and something happened....i didnt find out until several days later when we were at lunch. she was talking about a convo he had with another friend of his and it ended up comming up in our convo. i asked her about it and she denied everything at first. then she said something to another friend of mine and they had a whole convo on it and didnt tell me anything. i got up and left the lunch table after accidently hitting her. i felt really bad about it and she kept dragging it on even when she knew i felt bad about it. she eventually told me after i flipped out on her. she says shes my bff, but she wouldnt tell me. am i blowing this out of proportion? (link)
| |
i don't think so. she is your best friend and she obviously knew that you liked the guy. But in the same way, she can't control her feelings nor the guy's, so she probably didn't want you to be hurt by it. Yes, she was wrong in not telling you, but I think she thought she was doing the right thing. Just sit down and talk it out with her. Tell her that regardless of how hurt you would've been by them getting together, it always hurts 10 times worse being lied to or left out by your best friend. i know this because i've been on both ends of the situation. No matter what is going on, the truth is the best way to go. It's bound to come out anyway.

Hmmm, I don't get how I'm suppose to set this problem up in order to solve it...can anyone help?
100ft. of fencing is used to enclose a rectangular garden. Determine the possible values of the length of one side [x], if the area of the garden is to be less than 500ft[squared]
a) 0 < x < 13.8
b) 25 < x < 125
c) x > 36
d) 15.3 < x < 500
I'm not asking for the answer but just how to set up the problem so I can solve it and get one of the answers above
Thanks very much!!! (link)
|
100=2x+2y
500>xy
now solve for y in one of the problems:
y>500/x
and plug this figure for y into the first equation and solve for x!
hope this was helpful!

ok so i like this boy [let`s call him josh] , and he like`s me back , i already know . so today i found out that my friend jenny like`s him too . and she`s all "can you tell him i like him?" and don`t want to tell him , because i`m afraid he`ll start to like her , and stop liking me . she`s all like "usually when i like a guy , my friend does too , then i give up and let her have him , but i`m sorry not this time, i`m tired of it" and i`m realllyyy confused , but jenny & i used to be BESTFRIEND`S but not anymore, now she`s all "hey ! what`s up ! ily!" and it`s weird . but i think she doesn`t want me & josh to go out . but josh is going to ask me out once he get`s to know me better [that`s what he said to my friend] but i don`t know what to do or say to jenny or josh ? any advice ? (link)
| |
well...my advice is that you tell Jenny that if she wants him to know she likes him that she should tell him herself. Chances are she doesn't have the guts. or at least it will take her longer than it takes for Josh to ask you out. And I wouldn't worry about hurting her feelings too much cause she obviously has been a kind of shady friend lately. and if this doesn't seem to work for you, then maybe you should tell Josh that you want to get to know him more.

I feel incredibly suicidal, and I am so close I can taste it. I can't TELL anyone. HELP ME PLEASE. (link)
|
first off, find someone that you can talk to. a teacher, a trusted adult, a couselor, ANYONE! or even someone on here like you are now.
what all is going on to make you feel this way?
========
well what you are going through happens to a lot of people. trust me. I've been there. you feel like you have no one there for you anymore, losing both of your friends at the same time. But i doubt that your best friend that quit speaking to you will stay that way. I've been in a ton of fights with my best friends, and a couple were realllly bad. but over time it got better. Sometimes thats the best thing for any relationship is time. Best friends fight. a lot. it wouldn't be normal if you didn't. so don't give up on life. There ARE better things in store for you. i promise!
