Q: Age:14
Gender: Female
So there's this guy. From grade five up until grade eight we had always been really close friends. Actually he always liked me more than a friend and he told me that. I never liked him back though. However, at the end of grade eight he stopped talking to me completely. Rumor was that he stopped talking b/c I was too obsessed over this guy I liked and I talked too much about him. That just doesn't seem like what he would get mad over though. He never has before, so I doubt he would this time. I've tried talking to him online,on the phone, at school, just about everywhere... but it's like he never knew me. However he knows me better than anyone I've ever met. It's been 7 months now and things just keep getting worse and worse. It's like I don't exist to him, he honestly doesn't notice me at all ever. I miss having him as a friend so much, he was the only one I ever really trusted and he kept me happy. To make it even worse, I have this small crush on him that keeps growing by the day... I don't know what to do or how to solve this. I have no clue whatsoever why he's mad. No one does. Some good advice would be great. Thx so much!

hmmmm.....if this were me, i would probably get a friend who is a good friend of his to talk to him. especially if you are starting to develop feelings for this boy. maybe he really does still like you on the inside and if he knows that you like him back maybe something good could come out of it. who knows?? but just keep trying to talk to him and stuff and eventually you'll figure out whats wrong. hope i helped a little!

Q:

that summer.
by sarah dessen.
i am doing a report on it.
but i don't have time to read the book.
but i need to know some of the details.
& details about the characters.
can someone please help me.
if they've read it, or if they.
know a website with the details or.
something? PLEASE.
our language arts teacher gave us this hint. if you go to your local book store, they have these things called cliff notes that give just the important details [[which you would need for a book report]] so that way you wouldn't have to read the whole book. they are much shorter and pretty inexpensive too. hope i helped!!

Q: I have AT&T and I really like the look of the Chocolate phone so I was thinking of buying an unlocked one online. Does anyone have/previously had one of these? Or if you have a chocolate, do you like it? thanks in advance

14/f
wow. lol. i have the strawberry chocolate and for the most part it works great! but it does have its days. like one time everytime i would open it i couldn't press any buttons and it would go straight to my calendar [[wierd but true]]. and another time it just like wouldn't let me send a text message and would shut off every time i tried to. these are all kind of wierd but it gets over them quickly. for the most part though i really do like my chocolate. hope i helped!

Q: 15/f
This might be a mental illness of some sort, I'm not entirely sure.
I have a great lack of self confidence. I don't ever say I'm pretty, I don't ever show off. I don't really care. And that is why, when people attempt to compliment me, I just reject it.
As such:
person A: Oh! You look splendid today, dear!
me: fuck off. you're lying.
person B: nahh dude she just wants attention, leave her alone. she's a bitch

And then, person B continues in that same manner, spitting venomous words of hatred at me.
But that's the thing- I'm not lying. I DON'T think I'm pretty. I DON'T think I ever look good. I DON'T think I'm skinny/fit/whateverr. Even if I am, I certainly don't see it in the mirror. (Even my MOM always compliments me and gets angry when I tell her I'm ugly)

I think I like calling myself ugly and I like what people tell me when I do. I like how they contradict it. And I think I get upset when it backfires on me, and that person tells me what they think I want them to tell me, but they won't. (???) Could this be some sort of mental illness/desperate search for attention that is in the back of my head??

Please help ;_;
hmmmm. this is a toughy. it could possibly be a mental illness. maybe you should google it or something. more information on it may tell you how to prevent it. but i think you should really try your best to recieve your compliments well for example:
girl A: i really really like that shirt on you!
you: thanks! yours is really cute too.


just try and start small and you should be able to build up to more self confidence. and i'm sure you really are beautiful with a great personality!

Q: i dont know how long this might be. BUT please answer i would like some doods to answer. ohkay so theres this guy i like right and he liked me. well he didnt say it but he did. ohkay that complicated but its not the point. so basically last year i went out with him and then we broke up i was so hurt and it was horrible. so this year we got to talking and he started texting me and calling me on a nightly basis. so then when it came time for thanksgiving i texted him and he never replied back. i sent him a comment on myspace and he never replied so im like ohkay maybe something happened idk. so today i go back to school and he doesnt look at me and he doesnt talk to me. so imlike ohkay wats up. then i come hoem check my myspace and im not on his top. this might sound clique but who ever he likes is on his top. and i was like the first girl and now im not. i like this kiddd sooooo much i dont know what to do. so im thinking maybe im not putting myself outt there enogh.. so i need ideas on how to do that. and i was going to text him saying something about how we havent talked in a while... something to gain his attention back. it could be cause ive been playing plain jane for awhile IDK... its killing me i would love more than anything to date him. when i dated him last year and he broke up with me i was so hurt and ik if we go out again it will end some time or another so should i even go through it all again.. thanks in advance if you need anymore info just ask
it sounds like this guy really means alott to you. i think that you should talk to him about it. obviously something is up. its just not normal to go from like being on his top and texting him and stuff to not being on his top and him not answering your text messages. maybe someone said something to him?? i don't know but i think it would probably be a good idea if you talked to him and told him how you really feel. hope i helped.
-olivia :]

Q: last year this kid that was two years ounger than me liked me. he asked me out, and i immidiatley said no because i thought my riends would laugh at me and call me a freak or something, that and i thought he was too young for me. So, this year, ive changged alot, and ive learned to not let what people think get in your way. so we recently hung out and ic ame to find he was funny and sweet. But he has a "girlfriend" (that he denies, becuase i think he still likes me). Thing is i almost nevr see him, and we go to different schools, but when we do see eachother, you know that feeling that i know we both feel. But there are obvious problems. what do i do?!
if you really like this guy then try talking to him. even though you guys have major differences and it could be hard, you guys could probably get through it. i'm sure if he still really has feelings for you then he won't mind changing up a few things to spend time with you. like i said, just have a heart to heart with this guy and who knows what will happen. hope i might have helped.
-olivia :]

Q: A few days ago i started getting pain in my shoulder. It hurts alot when I try to pick things up, even as small as a jug of water. Today its traveled to my neck and I have a headache as well. Does anyone know what this could be?
i honestly have no idea but you should probably tell someone if you havent already. and if it doesn't get better i would suggest going to see a doctor and they could give you the name of like a therapist or something that could probabaly help you out alott. hope this might have helped a little.
-olivia :]

Q: im 15 and it seems like nothing i do is right anymore, i try to keep ontop of everything -- schoolwork, a social life, and all the time i just feel an empty space inside of me, and i feel almost like lonely? can anyone relate?

i think if i had a relationship, with a guy, where we can talk and just know eachother so well, and not necessarily a boyfriend, but preferably. the only thing is, im so bad as talking to people, i always over analyze every word that comes out of their mouth, and i always assume and they always mean more to me then i ever will to them.. and i dont feel atractive at all, i dont know what to do, and i really need some help right now, please!
i can TOTALLY relate!! i'm 14 and i'm going through some of the same things. just do your best with everything your doing. a really close guy friend [[or even a boyfriend]] can help a whole lot. they will listen to alott of stuff you have to talk about. when your around them, don't try to impress them, just be yourself and i'm sure they'll like what they see. and remember, even though your probabaly gorgeous, looks aren't everything. if you think you aren't attractive, that doesn't mean everyone thinks that too. i'm sure tons of people think you are a really pretty girl with a great personality. and don't worry about the relationships with them because you probabaly mean just as much to them as they do to you. trust me. hope i helped.
-olivia :]

Q: I simply cannot trust my boyfriend. and now this friday i will not be in town and god only knows what he is going to do. he has a crush on his best girl friend and he says he doesnt. he has cheated on me already and lies. but i havent broken up with him. we have been together a year and we decided that we are going to start over and now the next couple of weeks i am not going to see him every second of everyday because i have other things i have to do. and i am afraid. afraid of being hurt my this man that i am in love with. he is going to hang out with his best girl friend without me, everyday. i dont know what to do. how do i get past this and not care so much about what he does? I JUST DO NOT WANT TO CARE ANYMORE, I DO NOT WANT TO CRY EVERYDAY BECAUSE I KNOW HE HAS OTHER THOUGHTS THAN ME. HOW DO I JUST LET WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS AND BE HAPPY IN THE MEAN TIME? in conclusion, how can i stop caring about someone i love?
wow. just think about what this guy is really doing to you. if you really care about him then talk to him about it....again. find out from one of your friends if he does anything while you are gone and if he does do something then you might wanna think about making different choices and finding a new special someone in your life. there are many other fish in the sea and even if you really care about someone, they still aren't worth you getting hurt. anyone or anything that makes you hurt or cry is totally not worth it. stand up for yourself! hope i helped a little.
-olivia :]

Q: i wanna know why this girl is saying crap about you when you are like the smartest girl in school? lol. im sure she is poor and has NO friends and stole it from YOU. ilyy olivia.
awwww. ilyy too demay!! lol. she can think what she wants because i could personally care less about what she thinks of me because obviously everyone else thinks i give pretty good advice! lol

-olivia :]

Q: no. the only reason that i'm getting at you for this, is because of what you told those people! So, don't try to play little miss nice girl princess. okay?! please don't talk to me anymore. i am just gonna ignore you from now on. Oh, and don't cuss in front of me. It's desrespecting god^^. so stop.


-alex :]

well in your case

-alex >:[
i didn't cuss because "pissed" isn't really a bad word but i'm sorry if it offended you. and what exactly did i tell who?? i didn't say anything to anyone. if you would like to tell me what you are talking about then go ahead because i would really like to know if there is something going on that i don't know about. if you wanna ignore this message then its up to you but w/e.
-olivia :]

Q: I'm in an interesting situation with someone. We've been talking to each other for a month or so about being in a relationship, but not really. It is extremely confusing so try to follow along the best you can lol. I'm in love with this guy. I've told him so, he knows how I feel, the whole deal. He told me he feels the same, always calls saying he loves me & what not & basically made his feelings pretty clear, even though I innitiated the feelings first & started flirting with him first. Recently, he has been flirting back & calling me at all hours telling me he loves me & what not. Things have been going pretty well, but we haven't talked about a relationship exactly. Were going with the flow. The problem is, I would like a relationship except I live in CA & he lives in Washington. Obviously, that is quite a distance & we can't see each other that often, especially since were both going to school, but were both adults. Also, I'm afraid he may have feelings for somebody else, even though there isn't a specific girl I know of. Since he's a guy, I assume he probably does, maybe someone that must go to his school or is in his classes. He recently went to a party & "got naked but didn't do anything" with girls there & how it was all jokes. That was a huge NO in my book & I wanted to pull away, but didn't. He is not my boyfriend, so he basically has the freedom to do whatever he wants. I was a bit mad at first, but he was sweet talking me again & didn't have the power to stop it & fell for it. He always always says sweet things & I can't deny them. My feelings are a bit too strong to just pull away. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this situation?? Should I continue with this & wait & see if a relationship can start?? Or do you think his feelings are unreal?? He always tells me he loves me, but some things he does may seem like he feels otherwise. thanks.
oh-kay. honestly, i think that you obviously really like this guy. if he says he has feelings back for you, he probably does. if you really care about this guy and you really don't like seeing him do this around other girls or your nervous that he doesn't really "love" you, then you might wanna just talk to him. call him one night and make sure that he has a little while to talk and just have a heart to heart with him. tell him how you feel and see how he feels. if he feels like he really likes you the same way you like him, your probably ready to start a relationship. if you do, then you might wanna consider putting away some weekends and no-so-big holidays to just drive up to washington and visit him. i really hope this helps.

Q: whatever freak.

we all know who's it really is, so STOP STEALING MY STUFF! just saying.

and if you think, that for one second...that you could EVER give better advice than i can! than there is seriously something wrong up in you little noggin. ok junior?
junior?? your calling ME junior?? first of all i'm not a freak and second of all i would never steal your stuff because i can think of my own stuff just fine. unlike SOME PEOPLE i actually have a brain. and i'm not out to compete with you for advice i'm just out to help ppl so if your gonna get pissed at me over a stupid signature, then you seriously have problems.
-olivia :]

Q: Ok, i'm DEFININTLY not trying to be mean or anything. But, the

"-alex :]" thing, is sorta my signature thing. So would you mind coming up with a new one. From you column, i see that your pretty new, so i can see why you would want to copy. I think i may have done my fair share to. But, i would really appreciate it if you would stop and find you own.

thanks. -alex :]
yeah. well i never would have copied you and it has been my special thing forever. its on my celly and everything. and YOU DIDNT COPYRIGHT IT DID YOU!?!?!?!?!?! i think not. so leave me alone. [not to sound rude or anything]

thnx.

Q: Well im bisexual.
I have a girlfriend.
I love her.
I cant stand not being able to tell people im bi. I want to get it off my shoulders. Ive been able to tell my two bestfriends, but thats it. None of this really matters.
Well the problem i cheated on my girlfriend iwhile back. we got over it and were better than ever right now. The thing is i want to tell her that im bi, but im afraid that if i do, shell think i cheated on her with a guy. Idk what to do.
help.
if she truly loves you than she'll understand and just explain to her that you love her and not someone else. don't worry too much about it because if your truly meant to be with her, then it'll work out just fine. hope i helped.
-olivia :]

Q: ok so me and this girl have had some friendship problems lately, so we may have said a couple mean things to eachother lately. well all the sudden i have her mother leaving me messages on my fone saying LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE, and all this other crap. im kinda scared to bump into her. what do i do, she;s kinda crazy!@!@
tell your mom what her mom is doing to you and your mom will prolly be able to do something to fix it. if it gets too bad you might wanna report it to the cops. hope i helped.

Q: well i am only 13 and im female, and I went out with this guy named john who ive liked since last year he asked me out a few times and I said no but finally I agreed to go out with him because at first he was all sweet and nice now he annoys me to death and I cant have a serious conversation with him so I broke up with him a month after HE IS STILL OBBSSED WITH ME after such a long time but now I have sort of fallen for one of his supposed "friends" his name for now is BILLY well I dont really talk to him I bearly know him well john found out that I like billy and now he keeps saying that he told him but i doubt it and john also said that they are best friends but when i asked billy he said no not really so i want to know if john really told Billy or its just a lie I really want to get to know billy more but i dont know how to approach him in a way to become friends and no more any suggestions

ps: sorry it was so long and going out with john again is not an option he goes out with someone else but loves me not her

pss: ill take any advice
well if it were me i would talk to john and explain to him why you broke up with him and then ask him to tell you the truth about what he told billy. if he still says that he told billy then confront billy in private and tell him how you feel and don't pressure him into anything just tell him how you feel and who knows, he might just feel the same way. hope that might have helped a little.

Q: For the past few days I've been having brown discharge with a little bit of blood in it. I'm not expecting my period for about a week and I was just wondering if that sounds normal. Thanks! (:
i think its totally normal. it takes a while for your body to adjust and get on its regular cycle. it doesn't always come at the same time either. like one month it could come on the twenty fifth and the next like on the fifteenth. so it could possibly mean that your about to start again. it just kinda depends. hope i helped. :]
