I'm a 15 year old teenage girl with a unique view on life and the world, I hope. I'll do my best to answer any question that is asked, but please keep in mind that my advice on marriage or a career may not be the best in the world, because I have yet to live through that.

so there is this girl at my school and we used to be best friends and then now we're just friends but i found out that she is baliemic (dunno how to spell it but its when u make yourself throw up) and im like wow b/c shes a really sweet girl and is not fat at all so im thinking now.. should i just not eat anymore? cause im starting to get a bit chubby... so what should i do?

Your friend is bulimic, so now you want to become anorexic to be just like her? No, no, no. Don't encourage the eating disorders, honey. Watch what you eat, sure. Make sure you follow a healthy diet plan of fruits and veggies (and YES CARBS), and be sure to try and involve your friend in your healthy eating habits.
Bulimia will seriously mess you up, and you have a whole life ahead of you. Don't screw up your teeth and throat and digestive system and don't starve your body just to be skinny.

I can guarantee that getting Jeremy to stop drinking will be more difficult than just nagging him to quit. He sounds like he has a large group of friends that won't let go of him that easily. I worry about you getting caught up in that world by going out with him, too, so be careful. He definitely isn't worth ruining your life so early.
I would worry about Jeremy and Ewelina, because it sounds like Jeremy "expresses" himself when he's drunk, and that could end badly for you and Ewelina. Be careful, chica. He sounds like he's caught up with Ewelina, and he definitely isn't worth wasting your time trying to get him to change his ways.

hey i had my period and i dont wanna tell my mom. but how do i get the pads and tampons and stuff? and how do i explain it when i get cramps and stuff
help meeeee (link)

Why on earth would you not want to tell your mother? This is a big change in your life, and of all people, your mother or a grown up woman close to you would be the best person to tell.
You don't want to experiment with tampons when you don't know what you're doing, but if you need a pad, you could go to your school nurse or purchase some yourself.
Please trust someone with this and get the information you need, though.

Let your friend know that you care about her, and that you want the best for her in life, first of all. Then just do your best to let her know what you've been feeling, and how concerned all of her friends are for her. Eventually you will have to respect your friend's decisions, but it sounds like she needs a good influence in her life, so don't give up.
Please don't act "goody goody" with her, or like you're better than her, though. Be on her level.
