Q: I have a friend named *Leya* and she started to ignore me all of a sudden. So we got into this fight where she wouldn't tell me what happened. And finally she told the reason was because im obnoxious and annoying and stupid. I don't know what happened because i've always been nice and complimented her. I sit alone now in the back of the cafeteria because all my friends hate me. I don't get what happened between us. It makes no sense....I don't know what to do. I don't eat any more and i usually end up crying a lot. She told me she hated me and that we weren't meant to be friends. I just....Ugh!!!! I don't know what to do! I have no friends and everyone hates me! Even my Best Freind since pre K! Please! Anyone please help me!!! Please!
ok seriously, when i was in 8th grade, the SAME thing happened to me. i completely understand how you feel. i just decided i was too good for them, and after i tried to work it out and fix things and they wouldn't do it, i decided to just completely forget about them and start becoming closer with other people. i had to make an effort, but now i have totally awesome friends, and all those other girls who were snotty and mean have all of their drama and i'm way better off. so i think you should just act like it's not bothering you and move on, because when you mope and cry, they thrive on it, and they know what they're doing is making you feel badly and that's what they want. show them you're stronger than that. good luck!

Q: so im 16/ f. theres a guy i've liked on and off for the past year. this time tho, i really like him more.

hes the same age. actually 20 days younger than me. but anyways, we flirt alot, and he also flirts with our freind. so he knows i like him, because apparently 7 other people told him. and so i messaged him saying that i never told them to tell him, because i didnt want to ruin our friendship, but i'd totally understand if he only likes me as a friend.

so after that, nothing really changed. it seems like he's flirting a bit more, but i dont know. because he flirts with our friend too!

so anyways, im thinking i should maybe get over him, if nothings gunna happen, but my friend told me that i shouldnt give up, and there is hope. especially because it took him so long to ask out his last girlfriend. ( i think she was his first. they dated about 6 months, but i dont think it was very serious)

so i dont know what to do? wait for him, give up on him? ask him out, hit that i like him,
what?!?

please help me, and thank you so much!
i don't think you should wait any longer. you like him, he flirts with you. you shold take charge and tell him again and/or ask him otu or maybe just kick up the flirting. you're only young once so live it up. i think that if you make the first move, he won't reject you, it sounds like he definitely has some sort of interest. go for it, girl! good luck!

Q: I have a really awesome guy best friend who is like a big brother figure for me. He is like my guide, he always waits for me in every class and after school, he makes sure I'm alright, and he spends his free time with me... people always comment on how inseparable we are. Lately, he's been very attached and I get confused. My boyfriend and I are currently on stage where we're unsure about where we stand at the moment. Because he was away for few weeks and when he came back, I realized how I just felt much more comfortable with my best friend than with him. During the time my boyfriend was away, my best friend acted as if taking over his place; he'd do things my boyfriend would do for me [except all the hugs and holding hands etc] My best girlfriend starts worrying now, she thinks he has feelings for me,,, and since I've always prioritized my friendship over romantic relationship, she's afraid I'll make bad move... and now I've been dreaming about my best friend instead of my boyfriend.. and I am confused now... I don't even know to whom my loyalty and love are with at the moment... but I know that if my best friend loves me, then I'll leave my boyfriend and try to give him my heart. because I'm willing to do anything for my best friend... but then again I'm scared... what if he really has feelings for him? what if I do have feelings for him too? Am I really ready to leave my good relationship for this if it really is there? Because if I make a bad move, things won't go well since we all will end up in same area for college...
well it seems like your best friend definitely has feelings for you. i think you just need to figure out if you have those feelings too. if you do, i think you and your boyfriend should break up, and then you should just see if your friend makes a move or just wait and see if anything happens with him. but if you still love your boyfriend then try to just be friends with the other boy and don't lead him on. it's really a tough situation. good luck!

Q: Alright so I've been talking to this guy from Germany who I'm gonna meet up with when I go home in December to see my family (Dont give me a lecture about internet dating I swear to God if I hear another word...if your gonna mention it just shut up and skip me) Anyways things ahve been going great for the past weeks but last week he didn't talk to me at all and than on sunday I got something from him saying sorry I wont be on this week, on icq becuase I ahve to work early but I will be on Wer-kennt-wen, german myspace, well that was on Sunday and I still havne't gotten anythin....I hate this and things are starting to run through my mind again. He's said he likes me and my mom said if a guy ikes you he will do anything to contact you...its just I know he's busy at work but I mean can't he find some time I just get the feeling he's not interested in me anymore and I still wanna met him like he said previously I'm just scared now he's losing interest..any ideas??
i don't think you should worry about it that much. maybe he's just nervous and anxious to actually meet you in person. also, maybe you should send him something and not always rely on him to start the conversation. if in december he flakes out and doesn't meet you then you'll know that he's just not that interested. otherwise i think you should give it a shot. good luck!

Q: are there any songs, male or female artists, about wanting someone but never admitting it. preferably NOT country, but anythin else is fine:) thanks !
i'd lie-taylor swift

i know that's semi-country, but it's honestly so good. i don't like country, but taylor swift is just so amazing. and it's about exactly what you're talking about :)

Q: my boyfriend really wants me to sing for him. i hate my voice...like talking and singing...i have kind of a low voice...idk i just flat out hate it. so my singing confidence is really low. he says i could sing with the radio on loud but i don't know what i should sing....any suggestions?
ahh i totally understand this! i'm SUCH a terrible singer, but i just go all out anyway. You just have to learn to make a total fool of yourself and be able to laugh about it and enjoy yourself. I love just blasting the radio and singing as loudly as i can. Pop songs are always good. Taylor Swift is the BEST to sing with. but popular songs are usually pretty easy to sing with. just remember that when you're scared and nervous it's going to be really awkward, just have fun with it and don't e embarrassed!

Q: so i have this short part of a song stuck in my head and i cant figure out what songs its from.
its like "na na na na , na na na na na, na na na na na. " and repeats. cant really explain . kinda an upbeat song. pleasee help!
If you're talking about the song that goes 'shawty's like a melody in my head.. na na na na na na na na everyday like my ipods stuck on replay' then it is replay by sean kingston...?

Q: okayy so i realize that this story sound ridiculously shallow and unimportant but please help me! so just to explain i am 16/f in highschool. in between 2 cliques. 1. that would b considered \"popular\" and 2. the other that is a little less but im closer with them. so about month ago i went to a killers concert, i was suposed to go with 2 of my friends from the 1st clique. but they canceled at the last minute and i went with 2 from clique 2. but then we saw other members of clique 1 there and it was awkward. so now there is a the fray concert and i wanted to go with 3 other my friends from the 1st clique., because they are big fans. but i asked one of them if they are going and there like \"yea im working on getting tickets\" not swuree if that means shes already going with somone. and the other two poeple r going togetther. theyt dont have tickets yet and shes like to me \"and we can all get ticekts\" or something like that, which im not sure if that means im going with them. i really really wanna go to this. but not with people from clique 2 because im trying to aviod the miley concert thing again. what do i do?? please help mee!
You should just go with whoever you're going to have the most fun with. Don't go with the popular girls just because you want to be 'popular'. If you have to worry about what they think of you, or how to impress them, or whether they really want to go with you or not it isn't worth it. I would say go with the 'clique 2' girls, in the end, they are the ones who will probably be your real friends anyway.
