Alright well first of all.. I'm 16/female.. if you needed that info to help me out or whatever

Well.. last night I was over at my friend caitlin's house and we got bored so we walked around the corner and met up with some friends(rachel,chrus,anthony,katie) and we were hangin out talkin and what not.. and then we decided to walk back to rachels house.. so we're walkin and talkin and I'm a smart ass.. and someone said somethin stupid so i made a remark about it.. ya know? but chris stares at me and laughs.. like nto staring bad way.. just staring.. but yeah.. then we're back at rachels and chris wanted to swim so he strips down to his boxers and jumps in.. hah it was cute.. but anywhos.. the whole time when we're all sittin out there talkin I would look over and catch chris lookin at me.. I mean it feels like there's somethin there.. but I don't know.. I mean.. he's an awesome kid.. I'd like for there to be somethin there but I don't know.. I mean he's a grade younger than me.. but he's not immature and sldflk I don't know.. I wanna get to know him better to see if there is something there and everything.. but he's not one of the people that I hang out with all the time.. so what do i do?

Thanks a bunch (link)
Just start talking to him more wheather its online, on the phone or face to face! You cant really get anywhere with out talking to him to get to know him. Once you start talking to him more then maybe you 2 should start hanging out more like going to the movies or something like that. Hope I helped a bit.


does drinking lots of water actually help you lose weight? and if yes, how much should u drink? (link)
Yeah because if your drinking alot of water then your not drinking as much pop,kool-aid, tea all that junk thats high in sugar. And if your drinking water I would drink cold water because it burns more calories. BUT keeo in mind that you should drink too much water all the time bacause like people said before you can become water logged. Hope I helped :)


this guy that i used to date and i are still like semi friends...we can talk about anything and when i say that i mean anything...and the other day we talked on the phone for EIGHT hours EIGHT!!! i think i still like him but i dont know because last time it didnt work out...but now i feel closer to him and comfortable talking to him and i dont know what to do?! (link)
Omg girl! 8 hours haha my ear would fall off! hah but anyway I think you should give him another shot! Things before were probably different because yinz didnt know each other that well. But now that you guys talk all the time it changed and its totaly great that you guys are closer! If I were you I would try it out again but if you dont want to take the risk then just atleast confront him about it. Just be like It seems like I really got to know you more throught the past...weeks/months I wish it was like this when we were going out before. Do you think it would ever work out again. I mean dont say it exactly like that because knowing me and my dumb line he would think you were nuts but you get what i mean. I just think you should totally go for it!!!! I hope I helped!! and let me know what happened!!!


ok do u think its bad like if u go with ur best guy friend 2 tha movies like kuz hes datin a a grl and she alwayz brings a friend so wuld it be wrong if he invited me and went i mean she knos were bffz and all but i jsut think she might get mad but im not 4 sure like if it wuld look bad or wutnot...?? (link)
It would be okay to go. I mean you even said she invites her friends all the time. And you and him are just friends and if his girlfriend cant trust you 2 then theres something wrong. I think you should go dont let his girlfriend come between you 2! Good luck and I hope yinz have fun.


what r some ways to get rid of cramps (link)
Theres a few ways to go about this.
1. You could buy those therma pads which is nice since its heat and it relaxes tensions.
2. Take a nice hot bath.
3. Take some midol, works like a beauty!
4. Just lay down for the afternoon and RELAX in bed.

hope I helped a little bit :)


Me and My boyfriend have been going out for awhile but we haven't seen eachother sence we started going out because I had cheerleading and he had football..we talk on the phone all the time but I wanna do something together with him..should I just ask him one day on the phone to do something or wait till he asks me? (link)
I think you should ask him!! Whether you go to each others houses or go to the movies or out to eat. He probably wants to do something too but hes waiting for you to ask. Hope ya have fun!


i'm on my sister's advice name, but im a guy and i have really hairy arm pits. is it weird to um...shampoo it? does anyone else do this? thnx (link)
I dont think thats weird at all. Like others said I would rather have my b/f smell good than smell sweaty!!! Better having white shirts then stained yellow shirts under the arm pits eeek! hahaha.


ok I think I'm fat but no1 else does..are they lying to make me feel better or am I just not fat? I'm 4'8 and I weigh 76 pounds (link)
Wow Miss. Skinny! You so arent fat, your under weight!! Believe what your friends tell you. I dont think they would lie about something like that.


me and my friend are on a diet and it doesnt seem ti be working! we have tried the fruits and veggies diet but i doesnt help at all! (link)
Well there are 3 things you must keep in mind while you are on a diet
1. time, it takes time and effort so dont give up
2. Food that you intake. Make sure its healthy and you get the right amounts. Dont starve yourself and keep in mind that some fruits are FULL of sugar so dont think JUST eating fruits and veggies will help.
3. Exersize, without this you probably gain all your weight back so exersizing will burn off your calories.
hope i helped!


i've known him like forever, hes my bestfriend since we ran in diapers. recently ive noticed that whenever hes around me, my heart just pounds like crazy. i dont know why i feel that way.. i fear that i might be falling for him! if i do, what if he doesnt accept my love? i dont want our friendship to end if our relationship doesnt work out.. please help (link)
I think you should just stay friends. I went out with my best friend and lets just say it didnt work out in the long run. We ended up just breaking it and staying friends. But its still not the same. We talk all the time but not like we use to. But thats what happened to me im not saying its going to end up like that for you but i hoped i helped :) !!!!!


I need a good way to study for my exam in Algebra 2...any suggestions? (link)
I hope you took notes through out the year. If you did just break those out because they will help ALOT!! When you go to study make sure its a time and place were you wont get distracted. Make sure nothing is around you like a tv! If you think you can handle some music in the background make sure its something soft and mellow that way it will sooth your nerves. Hope I helped :)


help... tomorrow im starting high skool. i have been dreading this for so long. My skool is enourmos, it has 3 floors and i dont no where ANY of my classes are. i have no friends in my 1st or 2nd class. omg this is the scarriet day of my life. help me.. what should i do
thanx (link)
I know this sounds stupid but relax and take a deep breath. Relize that there are 100's or other students who are just as scared. High School is the best thing ever! Im going to be a junior and Im loving it. I know in middle school they tell you over and over that High School is soo hard and they keep telling these god awful things about it but really its so fun! Yeah your gonna have homework almost everyday but just use your time wizley in studyhall. Oh and speak up in classes, Teachers love students who participate and get invloved with their plans! Lol Just dont tale TOOOOOO much in class I found that out the hard way haha You are going to loveee high school! Oh and be sure to go to all the dances like homecomming and winter formal! I didnt go to any so far and I regret it so bad! So now Im already planning for homecomming! haha Good luck and hope you have fun!


dumb question... tomorrow is the first day of skool and i dont no what to wear lol. im going into 9th grade. should i wear a skirt, should i wear capris, should i wear jeans? uh help! srry its so dumb but going into high skool ive been stressing out soooooo much. just give me ur opinion (link)
I would wear something comftorable like jeans not a skirt. I mean your already stressing out about where the clases are and being on time. But I would wear a nice shirt with them. So your not to comfy that ya just woke up outta bed haha. But they key thing is make sure You like what your wearing! Oh and your cant forget about some nice shoes! Shoes are always a plus!!! Good luck on the first day!


I have a horrible problem with my face getting red anytime i read in front of the class or do a speach. TOmorrow, i have to give a speach in english & I was wondering, if anyone had any ideas to yhelp me stop that... i odnt want stuff like " just be confident".. things like, is there anything you can take or if makeup or things like that would work. pleeease answer.. anyone who answer, i`ll give a 5 (link)
I am the same way Well....I get so worked up about these things that I wont even present my projects and just get zeros on them! But latley I been getting better at it. I had to I couldnt just keep spending so much time on my projects then getting 50% off for no presentation.

First off I try to go up and present first. I find it easier because You know you got it off your chest. I dont know about your techers but most of mine no matter who they are they tend to be more leanyent on the first person becasue they crituqe them and show the class what they shouldnt do.

Another thing is PRACTICE your presentaion. It may sound silly but stand infront of a mirrior and start presneting. excpecially if your being timed!!

You may of already given your speech byut if you did just consider some of these things for next time. I wish you luck on your next speech!!! oh and how did the other day go?


i really am unorganized!!! i dohn't kno wat to do... i have never told anyone this but my last boyfriend of 1yeat left me cuz i was sooo mmessy wat should i do! (link)
OMG im the BIGGEST neat freak ever! I cant help it though I grew up with my mother and I swear you cant put a glass of water down on the counter without her pouring it down the drain and back in the dish washer lol shes like "Gina. Your making a mess!" haha anyways I dont know how old you are. If you are in school I would make sure You have folders to be organized and write things down on a calender no matter what! I tend to color cordinate my folders and pens. Like all my english stuff might be pink math is blue.... Yeah im a nerd haha Okay for around the house I would make sure you dust laundy and vacume daily! The reason why you should do laundry daily or every other day is because if you keep holding it back for another day then the next thing you know is you have a pile as big as a mountrushmore! Okay girls tend to make a mess with there makeup, lotions, fav shampoos and conditioner, perfumes! I would buy bins even those stackable bins! they are fun and cute and ya cant get better than that! Okat well I think that should get ya stared! Hope I helped!


Ok I just learned how to run the Laundry machine but the only thing is that when I dryed the clothes, they still smelt like the people who wore them, so is there any specific kinda soap to use and how much do I put in there?

~*Cleaning Ladie*~ (link)
Any kind of laundry soap works really but i LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE downy! I love it with a passion haha It makes you clothes SMELL better and FEEL softer!!! I recomend downy to everyone haha lol yeah Im a spaz when it comes to laundry!


okay, i am a 17 yr old girl, and i have only ever ahd oen alcoholic drink in my life. Mike's Hard Lemonade . but ever sicne i had it, i have wanted more like all the time. and i have wnated to try many other types of alcoholic drinks. i have never been drunk or high in my life, but i really wnat to at least once. is that a bad thign and when are you supossed to draw the line and say "i've had enough" and when does that turn into an addiction? (link)
Drinking Mikes Hard Lemonade isnt a bad thing. Lol but Im not much of a drinker and theres time when I crave a little here and there but I mean I dont even consider mikes hard lemonade a DRINK lol But my best friends dad is an alcohlic and seeing what she goes through is so freaking tough. I promised myself I wasnt going to drink all the time becasue I didnt want to become addicted like her father. The good thing is he doesnt own a car that way he wont drink and drive. But The point is you asked if it was a bad thing to crave it? No not really. I mean if it was beer or something much stronger than maybe yea. But not this stuff. Every person wants to "get wasted" one time in there life. I mean I did So I really dont see anything bad about that either. If you do it as a socail thing every now and then its okay but if you are going out consistantly to drink this may cause a problem. Being a alcoholic isnt just effecting you its effecting everyone else around you wheather you accept it or not. My friend has to watch her dad waste his life away sitting in the living room with a glass of beer in his hand every night. The doc even said he has a high chance of haveing cancer so he has been getting tested weekly! Seeing her cry all the time just brings me down and no kid/friend/ family member should go through this,watching a loved one drink there life away. But wow I just made this into a big organic answer haha Okay back on track! Youll know when you have enough. Just dont over fo yourself just because your friends want you too. hope I helped a little with this monster paragraph! haha


my best friend changed so much in the past year. when i first met her she was almost prude and she was such a lil goody goody. she said she would never let a guy go up her shirt and how she would be afraid to jerk off a guy because she would think she'd hurt him lol. well she has been with this guy for about a lil bit over a year now. she has changed so much. she's drinking now, she has sex.. like too much sex (she does it with him every night like 3x) i really dont know what to do. i hate the fact that she has changed so much. all of our friends say the same thing and talk behind her back. they say stuff about how shes changed so much and how gross her and her boyfriend are when they are out in public with us. a little while ago her and her boyfriend were on me and my boyfriend's asses about how we hang out too much.. well now they are being hypocrits bc ever since they started having sex, they have been hanging out like everyday. i wonder if its because they wanna have sex? idk but i really need to say something but i dont know how.. what do you think? (link)
My bestfriend was the same way! She still is. It drives me crazy because we use to be so close. I would spend the night at her house everyday and made sure our classes were perfectly matched up. We were like the sister we never had!! But this past summer it just chnged in the blink of an eye! She smokes drinks does druge i mean the whole 9 yards! She tells her mom shes sleeping at my house but she really goes to see this guy and has sex with him. I finally put my foot down and told her I had it! Shes completley changed and its like shes draggin me in. If she were to get caught her mom would probably think highly low of me for letting her lie and say she was at my house when really she was out drinking and havin sex with every guy she saw! To this day I see her huddled up with her group of druggie guys and she says hi but its not the same. I think I should of confronted her a longgg time ago. That was my biggest mistake ever!!! I wish I could go back and re-do it. So my biggest advise on this is to confront her and confront her now before things get WORSE! I lost my best friend to a bunch of druggies that take her for advantage!!! Sorry for the length of this but I hope I helped a little. If you want you can keep in touch besause I would like to hear more. I dont want you to lose out on one of your good friends over sex and drinking. to sum it up...stupid things she knows is wrong!


How can i become a more confident person? (link)
This is an easy question because I JUST went through this! Lol I wasnt very confident about ANYTHING! Its just the way I grew up. My mom use to call me stupid all the time never thought I could do things right. She use to tell me that she hated me and told me that if it wasnt for her I would be on the streets because my father never wanted me. I grew up without a father so there was like no support on things that I thought I did good at. I was always afraid of doing things by myself. I thought I would screw things up. Well my teacher started crackin down and started to show me things I was good at! You have to believe in things your going for if you want to get them done right. and once you get them done right you feel so good about yourself! Its like "wow I did that!" You have to FEEL good about yourself! Be supportive of yourself, be confident!!! Dont focus on things that you cant do. Practice them until you get them right. But never focus on negative things. Exspecailly on your apperance! There is no reason to look down upon yourself such as physical apperance! Show your body off! Yor only young once!!Another things is Smile here and there! They say smiling is like the flu its easy to catch it and pass it on! Doing good deeds always makes me feel much better about myself. Knowing I helped someone out just makes my day. Im not kidding! Its the best feeling I could ever share! OK I am so sorry I drug out something so little but I hope I helped!


does age matter cause im 13 almost 14 n i like a 17 year old n a 18 year old n my friend is bout ready to get me n the 18 year old out..plz help me (link)
Well age can be confussing because it all depends on where the range of age is. Where you and this boy you like stand its illegal. age 14 to 18 is a 4 year difference and thats a big deal, Its illegal BUT say you were 24 yrs old and he was 28 yrs old that would be COMPLETLY normal! So do you see where im commig from? It all depends and in this case its not good.
