about

i am not a mad cat in a hat. it stands for madeleine cassidy and halle. im madeleine and my friends and i share this account even though i mostly go on it. i really care about what people have to say and i try to answere. i love what some people answere when i ask questions--so thank you all. im 12 by the way.

advice

first of all, i apologize for the misspelling of 'skating', and the general idiotic appearance of the title. but it worked, didn't it? you came in here to correct me! :P

i am a 16 year-old rookie skater (female) who can't ollie yet.

i was at the skateboard-city.com forums, and this guy posts a rather mean post about how most of the girls that skate are posers, who skate to try to get with 'skater boys', or to get the whole 'skater punk rock' look.

whe someone calls you a poser, the first reaction is to deny it. so of course all of the female skaters on that site protested, but it made ME wonder...

am i a poser? i wish i could say no, but i honestly don't know. there are various reasons why i started to skate (about six mo. ago).

i can definitely say that i didn't start skateboarding because i thought the 'skater style' was hot or anything. i am a "girly-girl" however, i'm not so sure about the skater boy factor. what if i unconsciously DID start to skate because i wanted to meet skater boys? i know it's definitely true that i wanted to make some friends (regardless of gender) through skateboarding.

also the fact that skateboarding - just skateboarding around your town and on the streets itself looked "cool" was a part of the reason why i started. but is this necessarily bad? don't guys get inspired, after seeing a skating video, to do better because of how 'cool' it looks?

and, is it possible to start off as a poser (start skating to look cool or meet guys or whatever) but to change along the way?

sorry about the length. however, i'd really appreciate it if someone (hopefully a skater themselves) replied. thanks in advance. i rate.

You are not a poser. You dont act all braggy like "i am such a punk rock skata'" you are a skater though. it doesnt matter how you got into it, and even if you were a poser(which you arnt-dont worry about it)it still doesnt matter.

Ok, so right now I'm the "new kid" at my school, and making friends seems harder than I thought it would be. Everybody already has their little cliques and everything from last year, and it's so much harder for me to meet new people when nobody is intrested in getting new friends. Since the begining of the year I have acted really shy, just because I guess I still haven't really moved on from my friends from my school last year. I also just made cheerleading for my school, so I also need to start getting to know the hirls on my squad too. So basically I am asking for some tips on how to be more outgoing and really get to be able to express mydelf and meet people. Thanks in advance!

I move alot also, and i agree it is soo hard to squeeze into a group or something like that. how i usually make my new fiend sis bring up something like"do you have aim" or"i love cheerleading" and maybe they do too , so eventually you may become friends then try to become friends with her(his) friends

When ever I like a guy.. they like me a lill bit and then they just like 1 of my BFF.. I am popular in my school and have a bunch of friends! but why is it whenever me n a guy start to get to know each other.. oneof my friend comes along n he starts to like her? is there anything I can do to keep a guy hooked? n to stay likeing me?

Sincerely,
Confused Lover

if my friend ever likes a guy i would not try to take him, so maybe you should tell your friend that you like him and they had better stay a away , since they are your friends im sure they would listen.

I'm fourteen and I hang around in a group of five girls. Let's call them Sam, Lisa, Hannah and Natalie. Individually, they're all fine, but when we're in a group then Sam, Lisa and Hannah turn totally bitchy to Natalie and I.
Natalie agrees with me about this but she won't stop hanging around with them as she's scared of what they'd do.
I'm not strong enough to leave my group of friends completely and although I have told other people about this, none seem to offer useful advice.
I'm finding myself being jealous of everyone else because they have better friends than I do.
Please help.

get to know them and be nice to them , eventually they will return your respect if you make them think you are better than them or if you become one of there really good best friends , vhey it worked for me

i really like this guy, chris, and i have for the whole summer, but the thing is, my dad doesnt like him, he says things about him that really make me mad, i know that my dad just cares and doesnt want me to get hurt or anything, but there really isnt anything wrong with chris, like the things that my dad says are completely ridiculous! just this morning i asked my dad if I could have my phone back because chris might call me from out of town, but as soon as I mentioned his name, my dad said no, its really beginning to annoy me that my dad can't trust my good judgement, I'm a smart girl and I know what I'm doing, someone please help me here! i rate (btw 14f)

explain to your dad how you really like him and if any thing happens youll have more expirience down the line .
