advice
what do you do when there is nothing you can do? my friend's parents are going through tough times, and as a result my friends isn't on the best terms w/ her dad. i don't know whats going on but i do know that he has threatened to quit his job and leave them. she also has this "thing" for a guy and i am not saying that she is wrong for him or him for her. but they live totally and radically different lives. and i know that all of this is hurting her, but i don't know how to help her or talk to her about it b/c i have never been through any of this. what would you do? how would you handle it?
This is a really tough situation and its a good thing that you care this much. I would have to say theres not much you can do to help her parents solve their problems. But you can let your friend know that you can be her support. Don't assume that she knows she can talk to you...so let her know. Dont be pushy to get her to tell her problems to you and don't give help where its unwanted. Just be a friend and support her. With this guy thing, you have to really see if it is hurting her. If you know without a doubt that this relationship is trouble, then tell her how you feel. Ultimately, its her decision about how to handle things, but she is probably more likely to take advice from a good friend. You probably have more influence on her than you know. So this applies to both situations. Just let her know you have her back and support her and that you are there to help. Cant go wrong there! Good Luck
hey do you know if Crest toothpaste supports abortion?
wow...i apologize for my other answer. I now know who posted the question and she was being ligit....so in answer to the question....what i have read about this Crest thing is that people were boycotting it and Tide Detergent because it supported gay marriages and even donated 10,000 dollars to raise funds to repeal the law banning certain rights to gays. I did not read anything about abortion though. This is really all i know about it. I got my info from LifSite and you can read about it there. Again, i apologize for my first answer. I thought someone was just trying to be a jerk.
what would you do if your parents treated you like a 12 year old, but they thought they treated you like any other 15 year old? Some examples, you go with 4 of your other friends, in a moterized vehicle(not a car) and your mom thinks its "big kid stuff" that she actually let you do it. (yes, she actually said that, and not that i asked to do it either), or your parents won't let you see a PG-13 movie "because it might scare you". and they won't talk to me about it, yet when i am upset at them they force me to talk to them about it....you wanna know what i say to that??? BULLCRAP!!!!! LET ME LIVE MY LIFE!!!!!! (those aren't the only examples i could give but they are the most recent)
well if this is who i think it is, then you know its driving me crazy too! Now i think you should do your best to show them that you are not a kid and that you should not be treated like one. I am not saying you are immature. But do something extra to show them. Maybe they'll notice and say something that could bring up a conversation between the three of yall and it could result in more freedoms. They are your parents, so dont be disrespectful. You have to do what they say. But try to show them that you can handle being on your own, to some extent. You are still young, and youll still need them. But show them your independance!
is it bad to be jealous because your boyfriend is hanging out with his friend? ( which happens to be a girl) bc they live in the same neighborhood and spend so much time toghether. and my bf and i have been dating for 5 months. and if its bad, how can i fix it?
I wouldnt say its a bad thing. I wouldnt worry about it if i were you. well, if he is a good honest person then there shouldnt be trouble but you also have to watch out for her. Don't be jealous. Who is this guys girlfriend...you or her? see you have him, so you shouldnt worry. Ask him about it if you feel comfortable about it enough. Good luck.
Do plaid and stripes go together? I mean cuz i have this real cute plaidy shirt but the only pants i have that match it are stipedy pants...
haha no im juss kiddin this is your favorite big sister!
My question is... if you are still in the middle of your current love triangle/square/octagon with half the people in our youth gro oup why dont you take your own advice and talk to them, ya know?! Drop the ones that wont make you a better person in the long run and keep those who will close to your heart. whether its a friends or whatever.. i learned that recently. its better to have those kinds of people in your life to SOME degree.. than not at all!
well first of all my dear sister....i like one person, i have talked to her, i dropped the ones that didnt seem right, and everything else. but thanks for your concern i guess you are just watching out for me. i am not in a love triangle....i love one girl and thats all that matters. COME HOME I MISS YOU!
WHY THE HECK ARE GUYS SO COMPLICATED???? I need some answers to my questions, the problem is I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY QUESTIONS ARE!!!
Wow....i've been in a situation like this. The question thing not the guy thing. I was frustrated and confused, and i had no idea what i was confused about. I think we can all understand that girls and guys think in very different ways. Depending on the guy, i think the things you feel may not be as obvious to him, making it difficult to relate. I think the frustration comes from a lack of communication and understanding between the two involved. You probably wont ever understand guys. i'll never understand girls. but it sure is a heck of a ride trying to figure each other out. Give it time. If its somebody important to you, you can talk to them. Communication is the key.
