Ever since I was a little kid, for some reason, no one respected me. From 3rd-8th grade people made fun of me non stop. My 3rd and 5th grade teachers hated me, and many of my 7th and 8th grade teachers hated me too. From 9th-11th grade, people made fun of me "just kidding around" whenever I am with my friends they don't treat me with respect. The only real friend I have right now is my sister, and tonight for some reason she didn't want to hang out with me tonight, but she did want to hang out with her other friend. That is the last straw. I really don't know what to do. I am so lonely, and I am such a nice person! I have never had a boyfriend and I just feel like my childhood is being flushed down the drain. Due to people constantly making fun of me, I have ABSOLUTELY no confidence to go out and meet new people. I just don't know what to do anymore, I can't go on like this. I need to be a normal 17 year old girl. Can someone help? (link)
awww i know what this feels like...i always thought no one else in the world experienced this but me but i guess i was wrong..i've started to get over it and make friends and what you have to do is learn to love yourself first...find out what good qualities you have...i'm sure at least one person likes you...find them and spend more and more time with them...you'll feel better knowing you at least have one friend...and then try to gain you confidence with them and meet new people and remember not everyone will like you...you just have to tell yourself oh well...its their lost...i hoped i helped and you ask me for anything else just leave something in my inbox..


Okay so theres this guy that I really, really like, and I know he likes me too.. The only problem is, I know he's going to ask me out soon, but every time I get a boyfriend, I freak out and think that they don't like me and I get convinced that they're only staying with me to be nice, and I really don't want that to happen with this one.. Any ideas on how to stop freaking out and just let things happen?? thanks so much! (link)
well first you need to calm down...and remember they wouldn't ask you out in the first place if they didn't like you...most guys wouldn't stay with you if they are unhappy...soo when you get a boyfriend just forget about him not caring for you and have fun with him..if he does break up with you its his loss...


Ok there's this grl at skewl and i HATE her so0o0o much. Well our Principal called us both down to the office once to talk to us...he asked us if we had ever gotten along and she said "Well at one point we were good friends" I was like WTF!?!? (not out loud of course) But anyway wenever she is mean to me (she is only wen shes with her friends and im not) i want to stand up to her but then i never find a chance or im afraid ill get in a fight and get suspended or something. Anyone kno wut i could do? Plz help...i rate good! (link)
i know what this is like..i've been through it before and i took all the stuff people told me and i never fought back and i regret it now...stand up to her and tell her to get a damn life and leave yours alone...if she hits you, hit her back..you might get in trouble..but you won't have to put up with her anymore...


okay. well i'm 14 years old and my best friend is a guy. and i do have a boyfriend whom i really love. but my best friend recently has been flirting with me and crap. but i only think of him as a friend and my boyfriend is starting to think i'm cheating on him. i want to tell my friend about what he's doing but i still want to keep him as a best friend...what should i do? how can i tell him to lay off? (link)
well if he really is your best friend be honest with him..he should listen to you...he might not realize what he's doing...or he could secretly like you...and as for you boyfriend tell him not nothing is going on between you and ur friend and if he still don't believe then obviously he doesn't trust you enough..


I think I have self-image problems. I hate my stomach. I'm always worried it is preventing me from finding a boyfriend. I know people sometimes comment about my weight behind my back. In school when we had our physicals I felt extremely self-consious because the nurse put the chart down and a few people could see my weight (I'm not sure they care though). I just don't want to hurt myself. I've thought about nt eating and becoming aneroxic and when I did I honestly didn't care what it would do to my body as long as my stomach look thinner. I do exercise usually but I never see results. I just want to know how I can have a better self-image. Any help? (link)
well lots of people wish they could be a little thinner...but please dont obsessed when you already at a good weight...dont become anorexic either..i know people who were and when they would finally eat something they would just keep throwing up till they were throwing up blood...soo i dont think you want that to happen..but anyways if you still want to lose weight and get a thinner stomach...trying going on a diet or work out a little more...one way i heard of that works is do not drink any soft drinks...just drink water...if you want a better self-image, focus on more on whats on the inside, not on the outside...Hoped I helped!!!


see theres this guy at school and hes really hot...we never really talk but sometimes he shows interest in me and i know i have an interest in him, but we've never really actually talked, sometimes i feel like shy around him and my face gets a bit hot, so then i dnt want to talk to him with my face red...but like my bff she said she liked him a bit, but shes extremely shy...like when she likes a guy, she jus obsesses over him and freaks out everytime hes near, but she never really does anything...so ya i dont want to tell her i like him...because i kno this is all jus gonna come around and bite me in tha a$$...i really want to get to know him better even only as friends...how do i do that?!
thx... (link)
well you just got to start talking to him...bottom line...


ok well heres the deal..i REALLY like this guy and hes sooo sweet! he told me i was hott and hes always talking to me and leading me on..and if he askes me out..i would have my first boyfriend ever. thing is, one of my best friends supposedly "loves" him and she doesnt even know him and they never talk..unlike me i have talked to him lots of times. and now my best freind and him are starting to talk like online, but he ignores her a lot so he can talk to me..and shes making it seem like a competition and always rubbing things in my face whenever they have sumthing in common. another thing it, she knows that he likes me, but she doesnt know that i like him...its really confusing. if she found out she would be soo upset..she even said "if u ever liked him i would hate u" and i dont know what to do cuz shes had tons of boyfriends and i really want this guy to be my first bf. pleas help..ill rate everyone. (link)
well it seems your friend thinks she's better than you and cannot respect you enough to admit that a guy likes you better than her...i would still go for the guy even if she does get mad...if she can't accept you and him then you shouldn't worry about it and find more friends that won't think that they are better than you...a friend that would be on the same level...


I'm a thirteen year old female. Recently Iv'e started eating super healthy. When I'm at home eating the food there, or eating foods with nutrition information I'm fine, but whenever I eat at someone else's house or eat out and the food served looks fattening or sugary I panic. I don't know whats in it and so on. Sometimes I make up excuses for not eating things. My friends jokingly said I was anorexic before. That didn't bother me. However, now they have started to say it seriously and my own mum said I was eating in an anorexic way. I know people suffering from anorexia have poor self image, but I think I am at a perfect weight. Please tell me if I am anorexic or not. Honestly. (link)
if you think you are at a perfect weight, that means you don't seem anorexic...most girls say they are fat..its good if you eat in a healthy way...i should be more like that...but it's ok to eat something and not worry about what's in it every now and then...especially if you are at a perfect weight..


I have never really understood how the feet move/feet positions (Where they are) while slowdancing. Can somebody explain it to me? (link)
when i first slow danced i just watched people and went with the flow of my partner


I feel that I need a boyfriend. All of my friends have one. But no, it's not because of that. You see, I think I need someone to talk to, someone that will make me feel better, someone who is sweet and there for me. I want a boyfriend, and it's NOT because I wanna impress people that I have a hot boyfriend. I just feel lonely. But IDK how to get a bf. I wana ask guys out, but I am SOO sure that they'll say no, because they don't like me. They like the popular, hot girls. Not fat, ugly, stupid, weird, girls. (link)
You need to be more confident in yourself. Guys wont like you if you dont like yourself. Find all the good qualities you have and take it from there. Once you got that down, look around for guys, find one you really like and talk to him, smile and be nice to him. dont just go up to him and say "do you wanna go out with me?" because he will probably say no because guys do that, they'll run away from anyone. Don't ask him out unless your 100% positive he likes you. Get to be like one of his best friends first and take it from there. Hoped I helped!!



Alright, At the beginning of the school year.. I met this sweet guy, he was always there for me through a lot. I really liked him, but I knew, he liked me more. His name, let's say is Chris, what I didn't know is that he's a sweet talker to all the ladies, hes extremely rich...EXTREMELY.. Wow if anyone knows me, this gives it away. Anyways, one of my friends asked me to homecoming, for NEXT year, my friend, lets say.. Jake. I've known him for two years but he lives an hour and a half away. I said yes, because me and him are good friends and I trust him. CHris got mad and tried to get me back, I don't know if this was to get me back but he is now going out with noe of my friends, and she likes him too. Theyve been together awhile now. The girls name, is Heather. Heather did the same thing to one of my friends, Steve. So me and Steve got screwed over, but me and steve knew eachother before I met Chris. I think i'm starting to like steve a little.. he's really sweet, and he's sooo much like me, we have a lot in common and i can trust him a lot. But me and Steves relationship is like best friend thing. We're really close and we just met early this year. Heather and Chris are together and it's tearing me and Steve's heart.. I dontk now what to do..helpppppp ...I don't want to like Steve!! (link)
Well, you cannot help who you like...your heart is the one that decides that...i think you and steve would have a good relationship since ya'll both have a lot in common and trust each other so you already know you two will get along...wait some time befor you jump to conclusions and find out what your heart really feels...


What are some things I can do to make a girl like me more... and also how do I tell a girl that I like her? I mean, I really want to tell her, but I'm too shy..
Please answer this question, I really need to know ASAP! (link)
show the girl you're interested...smile at her, joke with her (in a friendly way of course) talk to her and be nice to her...if she does the same back to you, she probably likes you too...she asked you who you like, so she seems interested in you too...and just because someone likes you don't ask her out because your feel sorry for her or you just want a girlfriend...you would end up hurting the girl and yourself..


I have this Bad habit.
I like all my best friends~Tara's~ boyfriends.
Last year,she liked this boy named Davon.Then one day my friend Ilirida asks me if I like Davon. I said he's ok.If he likes mee as a girlfriend, I'll like him as a boyfriend. But Ilirida told him I said that so he said he liked me and tara now.Me and tara spent aboput 2 months fighting over him. Our friendship got really torn up cuz of a guy. Then, Davon stoppped liking tara and only liked me. That caused BIG problems. So Taraz mad. Reallly MAD. Me and davon wer like bf-gf 4 liike 3 months wen tara started likin him agen.He dumped me. I got REALLY mad at Tara.But wen he stoppped liking both of us, we X'd him oout of our lives. but now everything is happpening alll over again. What am I suppo (link)
As they say "History repeats itself"...its gonna be really hard this time around...you could possible end up losing Tara as your friend...its ok you secretly like you best friend's boyfriend...just dont let anybody else find out...if i were you I would find other guys on my own and find someone new to prevent this from happening again...


Um...there's this guy at me school who I like. He's really popular, but he's SOO nice. Everybody likes him, I think. Anyway, I can really see us together, and I can really see us falling in love, you know? But the thing is I know he likes this other girl (which I'm fine with, despite a small twinge of jealousy) and I'm afraid he wouldn't like me because I'm not really in his group. I'm kind of a loner, but all my friends are his friends too (heck, everybody is his friend lol) and I was just wondering...how do I make him notice me? Not that he doesn't now...but, you know, I want him to get to know me. Know who I am. How should I go by this, without truly flirting? I don't want to make him uncomfortable.

Everyone's his friend, so be a friend...talk to him, treat him like you would treat girl friends...also since you have some friends that are his friends, ask them to mention you in one of their conversations...

Hello, I'm 14 and am a Freshman.
Recently I have been dating my boyfriend for about 2 1/2 weeks. We have been getting along great except for one thing. I have been cheating on him. (I know I hate myself for doing so)
It all started when this guy I was friends with told me he liked me. I felt really bad for him because he always got picked on. So I told him I liked him because I did at the time. And after a week I started going around secretly after school kissing the guy every day. (I had to make stupid excusses for my boyfriend)
Today I stopped because I knew it was getting way out of control. ( I couldn't believe I was doing this to my boyfriend!!! And yesterday I almost french-kissed the guy! It turned out feeling terrible because I wasn't comfortable with him and it was his first time kissing a girl that way!) Today I wasn't late so I went outside and waited for my bus. Me and my boyfriend were having a great time playing around! But the guy I stopped kissing got mad at me because I wouldn't kiss him anymore and now started crying because I'm with my boyfriend. (I know how the guy feels, but don't I have a right to be with my boyfriend!) I feel like I am limited to what I can do with my boyfriend becuase I want to kiss him, but the guy is aways around to see and I don't want to hurt his feelings anymore!
Please help! I wish I had never cheated on him and I don't know what to do so the guy wont be mad at me anymore... (link)
well it seems to me that you just have to decide who you want more...obviously you love you boyfriend and its possible you may have feelings for the other guy (a little at least) you cannot go on forever like this...you have tell either one of them that this is not going to work out...no matter what someone will get hurt...you just have to decide who you love more...


Does He Like Me?
Posted Wednesday November 03 2004, 4:52 pm
Hi I am 13 years old and i am female... Here is my problem..So, for a while now, I've had my eye on this guy... He's more like my best friend... I've really really liked him since the middle of last year, I tried to move on but I couldn't, as much as I wanted to move on, I couldn't... I just liked him even more... A couple of weeks ago I told im how I felt about him, it was a bit dramatic, since I gave him this letter which was about 2 and a half pages long, mentioning everything i feel about him... He read it and he didnt mention the letter since I pretty much asked him not to mention it. You'd expect things to get peculiar between us, since we're best friends and i love him way more then that... But things have kind of gotten better... He's been "closer" to me, as in, he hugs me every minutes, puts his arm around me, follows me, tickles me, flirts with me, sits next to me, looks into my eyes, and everything... he even invites me to hang out with him and stuff....it seems like he likes me, but I dont know for sure how he really feels, I mean.. I dont have enoguh guts to walk up to him and be like "do u like me" it might put us in a peculiar stage. So, what are some signs that shows if he really feels the same way about me as I do about him??
-- PoeticxTragedy (link)
Girl you just mentioned all the signs...he does like you!! he's just as shy as you so i think you should go up to him and ask him out....he should say yes


14/m there is this girl who i kinda like. the problem is that she is out of my league. she is in all honors classes and im only in honors math and we're not in the same class. there is also this other guy that likes her (a friend of mine) and he has a better chance at going out with her than me cuz they are closer than she is with me. how can i get close to girls, so i'll have a better chance with them than other guys? (link)
Never think a girl is out of your league...because she may think your out of her league also...my advice is just go up and start a conversation with her about...well, anything...if you think she's smarter than you, ask for help with homework...if you are nice to girls and you never seem to get on their nerves, most girls will give you a chance...unless they're one of the stuck-up, think they're all that girls...and you don't want a girl like that because all they would do is end up using you...once you find a girl you really like..go up and talk to her..


sorry, this is kind of long but i really need help
Ok, im a thirteen year old girl. in 7th grade i was popular...but indeed a train wreck when it came to looks. now i have slimmed out alot, done my hair differently, my skin cleared up, and i guess i have fun grown up a whole lot more(body/face).and lately i have been noticing that guys have been a lot more flirty with me. they always liked my personality but now i think they actually see me as a woman. some of my guy freinds are always telling me how georgiouse i am. but anyway...our school resently split into 2 schools, one is across town now. alot of my freinds left, including this boy that i was freinds with. and i havnt seen him since this party i went to last weekend. before the school split, we were freinds and all, but i never really think he thought of me as a REALLY FUN girl that deserved more attention. anyway, at the party, he started REALLY to joke around with me and flirt(i think) and give me a lot of attention. plus he looks at me very differently. when i left he came over and made sure to say goodbye. i felt so special. What does this mean? Does he like me or just want to be freinds with me? personally, i think that attraction isnt the most important thing, and yet is is really important. if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it!!! thanks!! (link)
Sounds to me he likes you...maybe he always have but been to shy to admit it until now since he knows ya'll not going to be seeing each other that much anymore...if a guy jokes around with you in a friendly way all the time, that's a good sign...keep talking to him and see how it goes and if he still looking at you and joke around with you, maybe you should try to take the relationship a little further if you really like him...


I'm 14 / f .. I currently reside in PA. Well, the past 5 weeks have been the best weeks of my life because I haven't had to go to piano lessons. I know its a stupid theory but here goes. I hate PIANO! SO MUCH, i wasn't forced to start, but when i was 11 my best friend did it, and i wanted to be exactly like her, so i joined it. my grades have been suffering, and i think its because of piano, on sundays-wednesdays i worry about my piano lesson because my teacher is so mean. i wanna quit so bad, but how should i tell my mom, i think she knows i want to, but. i don't want her getting disapointed because i already quit band this yr because i didn't like it, she spent 1,000 dollars on a piano and shes been payin 12 dollars a week to let me go for like 3 years, what should i tell her? any help will get 5! (link)
very soon and calmly and politely as possible you should say, "Mom, please sit down because i need to talk to you." take a deep breath and then say, "I really appreciate all the money you spent and everything else that you have done for me to help me become all that I can become, but this piano thing isn't working out for me..." then tell her all your reasons why you think you should quit (grades slipping, etc.)
