Well, i think my boyfriend hates me. He used to talk to me all the time, but now it seems like he is avoiding me. He used to always get done with lunch early and come and talk to me and my friend. But for the past week, he hasn't. I don't know what to do. What do i say to him? (link)
I think that you should just ask him where he was at lunch, and see what he sais, maybe he's been busy wtih something, lately. Tell him that you missed him. Call him on the phone, and see if he seems like hes happy you called. If he keeps avoiding you ask him why you never see him, anymore. Maybe he will start talking to you more, if he realizes he hasn't been talking to you as much

okay.. so my friend always talks about this kid.. and my friend told me that she thinks she likes him and she knows i like him too.. and now i just feel so weird having us like the same person and were like bestfriends.. im not sure what to do. stop talking to her? or idk. (link)
No, don't stop talking to your friend! Liking the same guy is totally normal, because being friends, you guys probably hang out with a lot of the same guys. Just talk to your friend about it, and tell her that you don't want this guy to affect your friendship. Then say that if the guy happens to like one of you, then you guys will still be friends.

So I'm dating this guy and have been for a year and a month last Tuesday. Sounds amazing but I have a problem because I kind of really like this other guy who is totally perfect. I have no idea what to do. Please don't reply to this with a "follow your heart" cause my heart's ripping in two directions. Tell me what you would do. (link)
For now, just stay with the guy you've been dating. But you can still find out if the other guy is interested in you. If he does, then tell the guy you are currently dating that you want to date other people for a while. But tell him that you still would like to date him. Then date the other guy and see if you like him. If you do then you can stick with him for a while, but if you decide you don't, then you can go back to the other guy that you were dating.

Ok im 15/f
i really like my friend, we have been friends since like 5th grade. We flirt w/ each other and i wanna give him little hints that i like him, i dont want it to be really noticable cause if he doesnt like me like that i dont want it to ruin our friendship. Please help me.
Ps dont say like tell him how you feel.

Well you should call him a lot and talk to him a lot. Ask him if there are any girls he likes. If he asks you, tell him that you can't tell him. If he asks why, then just say "because," in a flirty voice. If he asks for hints, give him little hints about him such as: *he's in my ___ class. *he was wearing the color ____ today. *He has ____ eyes and ___ hair. Just say stuff to describe him, that could also be about other people too. Then you'll keep him guessing. It will make him suspicious, but it won't ruin the friendship.

so anyways, i like this kid jamal alot.. and supposivly he likes me, but the thing is that im too shy, like when were around each other we hardly even talk, all we do is like shove eachother & like play fight/flirt and like yeah whatever we've kissed before, but it takes forever for it to even happen, because were both shy. and he doesnt think i like him and i want to show him that i do like him, but im to shy to show my feelings or even tell him how i feel, and im petrified to even make the first move. i think its because of insecurities i have or something i dont know but yeah anyways like if he kisses me or whatever im alright with it .. but i just want to show him that im not that shy .. how can i like over come my insecurities & be able to express my feelings ?

If your shy around him, then all you need to do is get to know him a little better. You need to start talking to him first, and then maybe he'll feel more comfortable around you. Then he'll start talking to you more, too. If you have trouble finding things to say, then think about what you want to say before you talk to him. Another suggestion is to get a group of people, and call him to hang out with all of you, and it wont be as uncomfortable, since its not just the two of you. Just try to work up to being good friends with him first, before you worry about getting in a relationship. If you were to go right into a relationship you wouldnt have anything to talk about, and it would be really akward.


sorry if this is long. There is this guy that is really cute and hes my neighbor. our parents hate each other and we can't ever go to each others house because we live on such a dangerous road. the only time we talk to each other is on the bus, if we see each other in the halls, ccd, or at basketball pracice. his practice is before mine so i only see him for 2 minutes. he also is my age, but we aren't in the same grade since he got held back. we barely talk to each other that much and i am able to tell that he likes me since he always talks to me and smiles or waves at me. he tries to sit near me on the bus too. he broke up with his girlfriend about a month ago and i don't want to get in a fight with her. once i passed him in the hall and his friends said i was his girlfriend. i don't know if they were making that up or he if he told them something about asking me out. a few of my friends thinks that hes weird for some reason. idk he if will ask me out and idk what to do but i really like him and i want him to ask me put fast but my mom is starting to notice that he likes me, so i really need your help. thx in advance! also a big problem is that none of my friends know too. (link)
First, You should just tell your friends that you like him. They'll probably understand. You cant help if you like someone, and they probably just think hes weird because they dont know him like you do.
Just talk to him in the halls at school,and whenever else you can. Maybe sometime you can call him on the phone. Maybe if he has msn, myspace, aim, or something else like that you could ask him for his name.
Then, just tell your mom that you think he's way cool, and that you kinda like him.
Im sure she'll understand.

Its not your fault that you like the same guy your friend likes. If your friend gets mad at you for liking a guy than shes not a very good friend. There are plenty of other guys out there. You should just go out with teh guy you like. If he likes you, then you should go out wtih him. If he likes you, then she probably cant get him, anyways, so you should just take your chance, and hope she'll find someone else. But you should talk to her first in the nicest way possible, and just tell her you still want to be friends and you dont want it to ruin your friendship.

Is it ture that its proven chocolate does NOT make you break out? Someone told me that but i didnt know if it was true. Cause it seems like whenever i eat it i break out.

thankss (link)
It isnt teh chocolate thats making you break out. Its the sugar in teh chocolate. If you eat lots of sugary foods, then you'll break out. If you want to have healthy looking skin, then just lighten up a little on the sugar, and eat more of other things, and your skin will get clear over time. a lot of people i know who had acne issues just started eating healthier, and they got really clear skin.

whats a liner? (link)
Its kind of like a pad, but not as thick, and it isn't as uncomfortable to wear. You can find them by the pads at the store. On the package, it will say pantiliners, or something similar to that. You might have to look for it, but it should say.

You can answer 1 or both any help is appreciated:
What side is it best to part your hair when you side part it
& What side is best to put it on when you put it in a side ponytail (link)
Ok, so I know this is kinda weird, but like one time i was reading a fashion magazine, and it said that everyones nose very slightly tilts to one side. You dont notice, unless you look closely. If it tilts to teh left, then your supposed to part it to the right, and vise versa. As far as the ponytail, you should put it to the side opposite of the part, because that side has more hair, so it will look better, and it will be easier to put up. And it looks way cute especially if you have bangs.

i am abuot to be 14 this month. i go buy bras at target caus im to shy to ask for one yet. and i havent started my period

how long before i get my period happneds?

should i wear a pad everyday just in case?

how do i tell my mom about the bras and period?!?! (link)
-Everyone's period happens at different times. You don't know when yours is gonna be. I started mine at twelve, but my friend started hers at 14, it just depends.
-No you dont need to wear a pad every day. when you start your period there will be such little blood, it won't matter. But if your really concerned, and you think its gonna come soon, you can wear liners. My suggestion is that you always have a pad with you just in case you start, like in your backpack, or a purse, or something.
-Just tell your momm that your at that age, and your gonna need some certain stuff, i mean she'll understand since it happens to everyone, i mean we're all girls, right?
-The white stuff is normal, it happens to everyone, its called vaginal discharge, and theres no way to stop it but like i said before, you can put liners on if its really bothering you, trust me, liners will make everything feel a lot better

Lately I've really wanted to be in a relationship. 14/f, and I've never had a boyfriend. I personally think I'm ugly, but a lot of guys think I'm hott. I've been feeling really down and depressed about not having a boyfriend..ever. I'm not even prude, I have a lot of popular and guy friends. Yesterday, I was feeling so low, that I began to cry, and now I'm thinking about going on anti-depressants. I have a very low self-esteem, but the thing is everybody thinks that I have such a high self-esteem and that im very concieded, and vain, but I'm just the opposite of that. I hate my body and face and everything else about me. I just wish that I could get a boyfriend - I'm getting REALLY desperate. I mean, I'm in high school and I've never been in a relationship. I sort of just hate my social life or any bit of my life right now, and I don't know what to do. (link)
If a lot of guys think your hot, then you could prabably easily get a boyfriend. If your not getting a boyfriend, its probably because your not flirting enough with them. lets put it this way. Guys are kinda stupid because they wont ask a girl out if they think their gonna get turned down. That's why us girls have to flirt. Plus, flirting is fun, and you'll be surprised at how many guys will like you once you turn it up a notch. Its amazing. plus You shouldnt be Self concious since a lot of guys think your hot. I mean your obviously not ugly. so stop thinking it, because guys can sense when girls are insecure, and its a turn off to them. just be yourself, and dont care what anyone thinks.
