My son is a really cool kid - smart, cooperative, and kind. But he doesn't see the good side of himself, he can only concentrate on the negative. Like if he gets a 96% on a test he can only thinkabout the 4% he got wrong. What should I do? (link)
| |
Gee, you sound like my mother. The truth is that in today's competitive work enviroment, you either get 100% on tests, or you end up working for the people that do.
|
Ok
What kinds of girls attract you, and what kinds turn you off? (link)
|
All I want is a girl that likes me.
A lot of girls attract me, but I won't bother if they don't like me, and the most important thing, if I don't know that they like me. I'm just not very good at reading social situations and the such.

Ok so i am 7th grade 13 and I like an 8th grader. We aren't going out; yet. I really like him, my friend asked him he said he liked me too. Tomorrow we don't have school and it's supposed to be like 88°. Well he lives really close to me. He was like, what are you doing tomorrow, and I was like i'll be so bored. He says well, maybe if you can, you can come over and chill with me and austin (his friend). Then he said I have a pool and it's supposed to be hot so maybe we can all go swimmin'! I was like sounds awesome. Well I really want to go but i'm afraid what my mom will say if i ask her. She isn't home tomorrow she's at work and i WILL NOT sneak out. But i'm afraid she'll be like, i'm not letting you go over to a boys house you're to younge. WHAT DO I DO OR SAY OR DO about my mom.... i REALLY WANT TO GO!
i rate high

You're not too young to go to a boy's house, but you ARE too young to be GOING out with a boy.

this may sound scary but lately i have these thoughts like a voice in my head saying im a satanist. i don't want to be and i try to force the thought out and think that god is my only one though it always comes back. i got this book and it had a list of all the warning signs of a satanist and i had all of them except for one. i think i am becoming a satanist. i also do witchcraft but i never did anything involving the devil. now all i can think about is becoming a satnist i need serious help. i am originally catholic. and i am a girl. (link)
|
Duh you're messed up, you've been practicing "witchcraft."
Stop that and you'll be fine.

im a witch and i m trying to be a christian, i just went to this teen revial {aquire the fire} and felt all on fire for God, and then i just played 'light as feather w/my coven. am i stupid for trying to do both? do i have to be one or another? can i be both? so confused.... (link)
|
You can't really be a Wiccan AND a Christian, because they're two seperate religions. (Yes, Wiccanism is a religion) Now, you could of course find a third religion, or found one for that matter.
But doesn't anyone else think it's odd tht you'd be a Wiccan before a Christian?

okay my friend just broke up with her bf, and i like him, and he likes me, and normaly i wouldnt go out with my friends ex's but, shes either gone out with or liked just about everyone, would it be wrong to go out with him? (link)
| |
Nope. 'course your friend might get mad and you'd have to choose between them...
|
me = 14/f, boyfriend = 14/m
My boyfriend is a....suspcious character. He was the perfect friend and then the perfect boyfriend. Now, a couple weeks later, when we talk on the phone he always has to go within the first ten minutes. At school he avoids me in the halls and I see him talking with five girls at a time. I mean, I have no problem with him talking to girls, I'm not going to restrict him, but now he's acting all strange...Any ideas on what I should do? (link)

Realize that at this time in your life, people change, especially through puberty.
Fourteen seems a bit young to have a boyfriend anyway.

i live in this very small town and im 14 and so is jessica, we've been goodfriennds since we were 10 and she was always sort of an ugly girl, but now shes really gorgeus, shes fit into her body, pretty face, killer body.. she has the whole package. i love her becuz shed never ditch me and shes still the same but now shes been seeing or hangin out with older guys, some 18, some 21, or 23. and i mean if she can do it good for her but i hungout with her, this 22 year old john and his friend vince and i mean we rented a hotel and her and john went in but me and vince stayed in the car and we smoked and kind of hookedup, im getting feelinds for him and i know hes older but is it ok? she didnt make me like him or anything (link)
| |
Of course you'd be attracted to an older guy... anyway, that is incredibly illegal. I know in my state an 18 year old can legally have sex with a 15 year old, but that's the limit. So no, it's not okay. And what your friend did isn't ok either. Sounds like she's over-compensating for not getting any action earlier by being a slut.

im a female 16 and me & my bf have been on & off for 2 years now we are long distance and it started out as a summer romance at the beach because my family spends the summer up there but turned into love. ok im madley in love with my boyfreind & when i talked to him the other day he said his freind came over and told him he should take this one girl he dated while we were seperated to the prom. i asked him if he was and he said he wasnt going to and he told his freind no but im kinda scared do you think hes still seeing this girl? do you think mabey he was hinting that he wanted to go to the prom and that mabey we should go? please tell me what you think.

I think the fact that he told you about it shows that he wants to be open and honest.
But really, you're only 16, I don't think you should call it love yet.
|

Napping is fun. And I played a pretty good game of Truth or Dare once.
But I think I'd practice the occult, myself.

I love this boy John were going out but he lives in NY we went out last year for 9months. Now im falling for this other boy Mark... I went out with him before and dumped him cause we never got to see each other. He was great though. He told people he loved me and wanted to try it again. But then three days later he told me that he liked some other girl so i didnt even bother bringing the whole me and him up. Should i tell him i feel and dump John? Or stay with John and never tell Mark that i still care about him so much?
John cheated on me last time. Well we kinda both cheated (link)
| |
It sounds to me like Mark may have moved on, and perhaps you should too.

okay so i really like this guy Luke* and a lot of my friends have said he likes me as well. Only problem, he has a girlfriend in a different school. He sits behind me in class and he is always talking to me and putting his head on my shoulder (no hes not trying to copy my answers haha) he teases me too and when I say "ugh i hate you right now." he says "oh no .. you love me!" and he is constantly hugging me and stuff but I dont know what to do because he has a girlfriend and I dont know what to say because I have already told him he needs to teach me to ice skate (because ive never done it) but I dont know his girlfriend and I dont want to like screw up their relationship. What do I do?? (link)
|
Man, the guy sounds like a playa. He's got a girlfriend, but he's flirting with you to that extent? I admire the fella.
So anyway, what you should do is talk to him. *yawn* Another Dear Abby answer...

But When ever i share a memory with beth on the phone[[we all call on 3way]] Kristen talks over me to share a memory i havent expreicened,Kristen makes it so people dont like me as well.

Really im an easy going person but i just cant stand it! (link)

She sounds self-centered and obviously needs therapy.
Oh, and you need therapy to learn to become more assertive.

My mom and I have been fighting for two weeks about this. Ive been a competative cheerleader for 5 years but Im sick of it now! She wants me to try-out for my middle school team but I dont want to, we've tried talkin it out, but It always ends up in fighting. She listen to me when i say its my choice not to cheer anymore and I seriously dont like it! Whut should I do? (link)
| |
Again I agree with Phil! He is a brilliant person. Anyway, I was just going to say that I think cheerleaders are snobby little... er, well they suck. No, literally.

When my friends and I are in a group and talking, it's easier for me to make a conversation and i'm comfortable talking to everyone. When I'm one on one with a person, it's very uncomfortable and I don't know what to talk about so there will be this awkward silence. Why is this happening? What can I do? (All girls by the way..) I have no boy-friends..How do I make them? I'm incredibly shy and soo insecure! (link)
|
I have just the opposite problem, that I do better one-on-one. I think the thing is that when you're alone, all the attention is on you, but in a group, there are other people to split and break the attention.
I think the trick would be to remember that it's not about you, and try to focus all the attention on the other person. Ask them about their day, and basically make petty small talk that I and other future engineers seem meaningless, but my shrink tells me I have to make. I dunno, listen to the shrink, he's got a degree in this stuff.
As for boyfriends, I must say you're lucky to be a girl. I think it's easier for girls to get boyfriends. I still wouldn't know how, but what the heck, I can't get a girlfriend either.

13/f-so here's the thing, i'm smart, but taking those state tests, like the CAT/6, is like torture to me! i mean, REALLY. at first, i'm just answering questions like whatever, but once i'm halfway through the section, i get really bored. i feel like fallling asleep. i just keep thinking "when is this gonna be over already?!?!?!". i get REALLY REALLY REALLY tempted to just guess, but i have ONE motivation: we used to be the lowest school in the county (not country! COUNTY!), and now we have a chance to be the highest school in the district and beat the school we absolutely HATE: washington broncos...or as our principal says, they're just "my little ponies". anyway, we're only 39 API points away from that, and every question can count... but i get so restless too! taking the test, i start shaking, looking around, all that stuff, and i'm one of those outgiong, hyper, cant-stay-still girls, so this test-taking thing REALLY sucks for me. any help or tips or whatever to help taking the test be easier for me (AND my whole school)? we just have to beat the broncos! we live on he east side of town (you know, the awesome spirited and behaving school that get a lot of bad reputations for being on that side of that town, if anyone can relate) and we want people dropping dead of heart attacks when we become the best school in the district!!!HELP!!! (link)

These standardized tests are jokes, and so that's basically how I treat them. They're so easy, I just go through them and answer them, correctly, every question thinking "Ha, the idiots under-estimated me again."

i think i have hyperhydrosis. i sweat nonstop even if i do nothing at all. i have no money but i heard of stuff that i could buy to prevent the sweating *armpits*. i asked my parents if i cud have some money to get it but they didn't let me and made me really embaressed.. well anyway they didn't let me buy the stuff so now since its like gonna be really hot soon i'm doomed to be walking around sweating under there all the time or wear lotsa lotsa clothes and still sweat but nobody will see but i will be really really uncomfortable if i wear layers and layers to cover the sweat in the summer. i've heard of putting on antipersperent and then putting baby powder ontop of it but it doesn't work, so what can i do to prevent the sweating? how come other people don't sweat and i do? i hate myself (link)
| |
I believe my genetics produce similar effect, though not quite as bad. What I do is never, ever, ever move from my computer. If I don't move, I don't sweat, with the exception of my mouse hand after a particularly long or intense round of UT.

okay..well my friend is going out with this guy that i like..i thought that i was doing the right thing by telling her this..i know it wasnt the best move..but i also said that i couldnt be bestfriends with someone who i like((this was all in an e-mail))..well a few days later her boyfriend told me online that she showed him the e-mail! i was so mad! i started crying..and i was on the phone with one of my friends and she couldnt believe it either...i cant believe my best friends judgement..we have been in arguments for awhile adn i think that i should draw the line here..what do you think? i really dont wanna be friends with someone who betrayed me like that..i just dont! and she has done things like this before...i really dont want to talk to her again..but our families are very close..i jsut dont know what to do..PLEASE help me!!
..sorry for the length!!

She showed HER boyfriend? Perhaps she believed that he could help you. And that is most probably true, that he could help you.
But really.... is it that big a deal? Having someone know you like someone else? That's a pretty middle-school thing. What you should do is not care. At all. Yeah, don't talk to her if she's too immature, but trying to get back at her is also immature.

i feel like everyone around me has a boyfriend. i feel so alone and i really want to have the feeling of a boyfriend again. i feel as if everyone around me is moving so fast...one of my friends just did third base wih a guy. i am 14 and still haven't gotten my first kiss. i wish i could just find a guy.. what is taking sooo long! (link)
|
Everyone is saying that your time will come, and that may very well be the truth, however it also might not it. It's possible that you'll never have a boyfriend or get married or anything, but that's OK! Plenty of people don't get together with anyone and they are PERFECTLY happy! It's possible to live a fufilling and productive life without "relationships" or sex at all!

Hi. Well my partner and I have to make a buliten board, which is really just a poster, about the topic "All life on earth is linked by the transfer of energy from its original source throught the food chain". We need to find a good and/or catchy title that relates or kind of tells about that topic or subject. Thanks for listening.
P.S.: The original source is the sun, if that is any help. (link)
