Q: okay..this is going to be long, but i really need help. Ok, my (old) best friend is bipolar. She is really a hard-to-handle person. I dont know what to do cuz lately weve been getting into fights because im so sick of her bitchy-ness. I have no clue on what to do with her, shes like, starting stuff with her one other friend (cuz thats all she has) with me, so now were fighting too. This girl also walks around and shes all quiet and she thinks shes ugly and EVERYONE is out to get her-when really nobody knows her. If she were louder and had more friends-i think shed be happier. What should i do? PLEASE HELPP!!
I know it can be really hard and it can make you want to hit the person really hard, but you need to keep being friends with her because she might really need you if she thinks everyone hates her and stuff. I think you should try your best not to get into fights with her (even if it isn't your fault) just like try to be nice to her and everything...i think you should also introduce her to some of your friends and see if she gets along with any of them. Like, you could have a party, or take a whole bunch of friends to the mall or something and she would be able to meet new people. You probably want her to find some new friends as soon as you can, because more than likely, that is why she is acting this way...i think it will all be better as soon as she finds new friends....u can ask me stuff anytime....hope i helped!

Q: Okay, so one of my friends is having a B-Day party on Friday. She's inviting a bunch of people. She claims that she is my BFF, and she loves me as a friend so much. The problem is that whenever i go to her parties, she ignores me and hangs around with her other friends, and NEVER talks to me. Should i go ?
I think that you should go still. When you go to the party, just kind of hang around everyone, not just one person. Also tell her that you are feeling left out if you are still feeling like that...i think that she will understand. hope i helped...

Q: hey every1. right now my life is so totally like the movie The Notebook, if you've seen it. K so there is this guy who goes to my school and a lot of people don't really like him at all because he is sort of full of himself and annoying. but for some reason at the beginning of this year i really really liked him. i only told a few of my friends though, because it was really embarrassing. then i found out that half way through the year he had to move to Hong Kong. i was really sad and his last day at school , my friend told him that i like him. he said that he liked me too.anyway overtime i kind of got over him and started to like this guy named Ben. Ben has been like my best guy friend for a really long time. anyway he asked me out and i said yes. i was so happy, until Jamie (the guy who moved to Hong Kong) CAME BACK!!! anyway now he is being really sweet, and trying to get me to like him again. the thing is, Ben sometimes ditches me for computer games and stuff, but Jamie never does, hes really sweet now. i don't know what to do at all though because Jamie is moving back to HK for good over the summer, so i probably wont see him again. so i could either break up with ben and spend the remainder of my time going out w/ jamie, or i could stay with ben since i will never see jamie again. no clue what to do! help!
i think you should stick with the one you like more. if its jamie...which it really seems like, then you should go out with him, because you could still talk to each other even if he is in hong kong. its better that way...let me tell ya...don't say you like someone when you don't. hope i helped...

Q: I'm going to camp in the summer for the first time in my life. (I'm 14) I've known my friends for 3 years and they've never known me without makeout. I don't use alot but a little bit of eyeliner makes a hugeee difference! Anyways, I don't know what I should do because I don't want my friends to see me makeup-less...I mean, with makeup, I look "decent" but without, you won't even recognize me on the street. I look horrible! Please don't say..your friends should love you for you..I'm very self concious about myself and I really want to know what to do. Thanks in advance-I rate!
I think that you should just use a little bit of makeup...like don't use tons and tons....or better yet...just be yourself...i don't think that they will care too much. hope i helped...

Q: I am so tired of people writing "liek dis" Spell correctly so that you can actually get some advice! I don't even know how those questions even appear on the site if it's not even understandable...Does anyone agree with me or am I just illiterate?
That is really annoying! the only time i don't really care is when they do liek...cuz thats just a typing error most of the time....but a lot of the other times people do that, it is sooo annoying.

Q: I just got my report card this past friday. It said that my grade point average is 3.95 which is really good. but when i started look at what i got (A A-) it said I had straight A's, A-'s A+'s and I was confused. I get to see my grade a week before they come out, and my science teacher said i was getting a B- then, on the report card it said A+...i don't understand that..can someone explain?
TarA
Well, sometimes teachers can really lose it...so it could've been cuz the teacher was looking at someone else's name or cuz they lost one of your assignments and then they found it. It pretty much could've been anything. If you did extra credit and the teacher forgot to count it, that could be why. I think that you should go and talk to the teacher about it and ask why it went up to an A+. Then you should figure out why. hope i helped.....

Q: I have a cousin who puts my probles on here for the world to know! It's really annoying me..what should I do..I don't want to seem mean though..
Just tell you cousin that you don't like it and that you want him/her to stop. Whatever you do...revenge isn't the way to go..Just don't like do the same thing back or anything....trust me. I have totally been down that road and it goes nowhere. hope i helped....

Q: I just got braces a week ago and after I came home, I noticed these tiny tiny black spots on my teeth...I tried brushing it off, but they won't come off...Now it's a week later and they're still here..It's not really noticeable unless you look closely but I notice them. Can anyone help? I rate. Thanks
well, i have braces too, so i might be able to help you a little bit... but it really depends on where it is at on your teeth and like how much there is. if it is like inbetween your braces where you can't get it, then it could just be like little pieces of food that is like impossible to get out no matter how hard you try (its happened to me before..i hate it).....if it is at like the bottom of your tooth, then it could be a cavity or something. Other than that i really don't know...you could try asking your orthodontist...they always know everything....or you could send me something in my inbox and tell me more about it so that i could try to help you a little more. Since u just said it is at the bottom of your teeth, i think you should go see your orthodontist, but don't worry too much, it could still just be food or something. Oh, ask your parents or someone first...they might be able to help a little more than i can because they would be able to see it. hope i helped...

Q: everyone keeps tellin me i don't need to lose weight but i still feel i need to. does anyone know of someway to find average weight for height?
ummmmmmm.......the best i can tell u is to go to askjeeves.com and type in that question. I was looking there for that and there were tons of websites that you could go to. Of course, i didn't understand your question as good as i wanted to, so if you want, you can explain it more to me in my inbox and i'll try to help you more.....

Q: I had scoliosis surgery recently....this past january if anybody had it how long does it take to be 100% again...?


thanks
i have heard it takes about a year from the people at school that do it....but i really don't know myself.....sorry, if that didn't help much.

Q: Well ... dont know exactly what this would be... but I get really run down sometimes. Just between school, friends, and all sorts of varied stress. It's like it's too much. I think it's mainly while everyone has there little love lifes, I like someone who lives like 1000 miles away. Wouldnt work, and cant work. We don't talk because we just got out of touch. I did try calling him .. but he was very suprised by my call. I dont know if hes shy or what but he didnt call back. Yeah it may sound like he doesnt care about me... but the times when I visited where he lived, he was really friendly. Like if he hated me, he wouldnt have acted the awsome way he did. Im not saying he LOVES me I just know he considered me AT least a friend. And... lately everything I do isn't working. Idk ... my friends are very fair weather. A lot of change is going on. What do I do? [ ps, tried journals...poetry... they help some but they aren't a cure ]
i think that you should try listening to music and see if that helps any....thats what i always do when i feel like that. Try asking your friends what is going on...maybe they can help too...i know a lot of times when i tell someone i know about what happened it makes me feel better...maybe it will work for you. You should get to know this guy better too, talk to him more and stuff. i really hope i helped....

Q: If it matters, I'm seventeen, and a girl.
Okay, so I've been really close with this friend of mine for about two years. Then all of a sudden, she decided she was too good for me. She dwells in every issue she has until she makes herself depressed. She's getting all "emo", for another thing, and pushing EVERYONE away, except our mutual friend, who happens to be a guy.
Now, she even admitted to him that she had a crush on him for awhile, but she "got over it". Somehow, I don't think she did. We're in a choral group and she always manages to position herself next to him, which bothers me - not because I like him - because I'm used to hearing his part in my ear. I'm used to listening to him. We always used to practice together for concerts, we sit next to each other in choir because we blend, and all that.
Anyway, so the main issue I have is, what do I say to her, if anything? She suddenly decided she was too good for everyone except one guy - oh, and her "college friends" which are her only "real" friends. Most of my friends are in college, and I still don't act like that.
I almost want to confront her about her pompous attitude, and about her supposed crush on our friend, but it would make everything awkward, I know.
What would you all do in this situation? I'm just curious.
I rate ones for stupidity and fours for bad grammar and spelling. =)
Thank ya for your opinions.
I think that you should talk to your friend instead of keeping everything as a big secret. I also think you should ask her if she likes this kid.....but don't just ask out of the blue...just slowly get into the conversation. Hope i helped....

Q: there's this guy at school and he always like bumps into me, and says sorry. before i didn't think anything of it, but now it's happening like almost all the time! does he like me? or is this just some weird coincidence?!
he sooo likes you...trust me. if i am wrong then it is cuz he is just messing around with you. but i am like 99.9% positive that it is cuz he likes you.....(your question was one of the best ones i've read for some reason...i don't know what it was, but you can totally send me questions anytime in my inbox) hope i helped...

Q: okay so my ex-boyfriend cheated on me, but i still love him and i wana talk to him again cuz its hard to jus forget bout him. and this new boy that im feelin, i feel like hes just using me. he says he loves me though. what should i do?
First of all, i really think you should still talk to your ex and still be friends, but thats it. I also think that you should give the new guy a chance.....get to know him more...if he really is using you, then break up with him. please tell me what happens or if u want u can ask me something else about it. Hope i helped...

Q: ok my best friend lets call her taylor, went out with this guy lets call him ty three times since the begining of this year and she broke up with him all 3 times and when she broke up with him thats all she talked about ty this and ty that then my friend lets call him ricky, ricky asked her out on last thursday and she kept asking people what she sould say to him and it was making me mad because its he decision not everyone elses! and she asked like 15 people! and then he was sitting with us at lunch and she wrote him a note saying that she didnt know if she still had feelings for ty or not (ricky and ty are best friends) and in the note she said that she would go out with ricky but didnt know how she was going to tell ty and she still hasnt told him! and she said that the only reason that she said yes to ricky was because she didnt wanna hurt his feelings but i know that in the end she is going to break up with him by wednesday and ricky really likes her so i guess my question is why is she doing this?

confused
I think your friend is doing this because she likes how it feels to be going out with someone. She likes feeling important and everything. But then when she gets to know the person more, she decides to break up with them. If this is making you mad, i think you should tell her how you feel about it. I also think you should tell her that she is just hurting (ricky's) feelings if she breaks up with him and she was worried about hurting his feelings. This is really weird, and there is more to the story i'll bet. The best thing to do would be to ask her about it and ask her why she is doing this to the people she goes out with. Please send me something in my inbox telling me what happened or you can ask me something else about it. Hope i helped...

Q: okay. well i have been best friends with the same three people for 4 years now and we do everything together and i love them to death but now they have new friends and they will talk about plans right in my face and not invite me and so i do other things with my other friends but i cant help but get jelous. its like sometimes i dont want them to be happy unless there with me. I hate feeling this way. I hate being jelous, but i cant help it. Things have changed and i cant take it. I try to take my mind off it and do other things but none of my other friends are as close as they are. i cant just give up on out friendship. How do i stop the jelousy? and Should i tell them how i feel? cause they would probbaly laugh and get mad at me...

sincerely,
Sojelous
That has happened to me before, and i hate how it feels...this is gonna sound hard, but try talking to them and telling them that you feel left out and everything. I don't think they would laugh or get mad at you for that. Anyways, just try and if it doesn't work, then send me stuff in my inbox and i will try to help. Hope i helped...

Q: i downloaded animation shop 3 and it works really well. anyway i`ll spend a long time on an icon and when i go to download it, some of the letters are erased or things are unproportional. how do i get this to stop?
make sure it is the right size for an icon (sorry, i'm not sure what size that is) and make sure the font isn't too big...or the picture is the right size if you have a picture on it.... but i'm not too much of a computer expert, so it could just be the computer. hope i helped.
