I am a smart, straightforward girl. I think the world needs more people like me. Ask me a question and you'll get the no B.S. answer, whether it will hurt your feelings or not. Not that I'm mean; I just have very little patience for delusion and fantasy.

Last night I found out a friend of mine, whom I haven't really spoken to in awhile, has been diagnosed with cancer and might die. He's left college to live with his parents so he can get treatment and I'd like to write him a letter of support but what do I say? I don't want to make him uncomfortable and I don't want to be morbid, but I do want him to know that I care about him and wish him all the best. (link)
I once had a very serious illness. The cards that I dreaded reading were the ones that harped on my illness. No one needs to be reminded that they're sick. I loved the ones that just talked to me like I was a normal person - you know, "How's the hospital food?" and all that. I also liked cute gifts, but then, I'm a girl. Oh, and it doesn't matter if you've lost touch - he'll appreciate that you're still thinking of him. -->NO morbid "I don't know what I'd do without you, etc!!


ok me and this boy went out. before we went it, it took a lot of work to get us together, because i liked someone else aswell, and he had just broken up with his girlfriend from 3 years, but we kissed, and we ended up going out, witch i was really happy for because i really liked him a lot, but he broke up with me a month later. he gave a lot of excuses why we broke up such as he wasnt ready, he didnt want me to get hurt, he didnt want me to do something i regreted stuff lik that. but we worked so hard to go out and we only went out for a month and i think thats stupid. now me and him are friends. we broke up like a week ago, but i dont want to be just his friend. he told me he still had feelings for me and i have feelings for him and i want to go out with him, but im afaird ill make things complicated and i dont want that, how can i bring that up with out making it complicated, i just want to no and i cant keep it inside because i really like him and dont want to be just his friend..

Get over him. He's just not that into you.


Okay, I'm 21/f and have always struggled with my weight. I'm 5'5" and I weigh just under 12 stone (I think around 167 lbs). It doesn't help that i'm pretty muscular as I play sports. I'm the sort of girl who can lose weight really easily but can also put on weight equally as quickly. I know the easiest way for me to lose weight is to do a lot of exercise, as I can lose about 3 lbs a week as well as getting toned up. Problem is I have absolutely no motivation to do anything at all, let alone exercise. Also I've just been living off takeaways and junk food for the past two weeks which obviously isn't helping. I know I need to eat right but at the moment like I said I ahve no motivation, so can't be bothered to cook for myself.

I don't know how to get myself out of this slump! I know what I need to do, but I don't know how I can get my motivation levels up. The whole thing is making me really miserable. Please help. (link)
Based on your height, weight, and the fact that you play sports, you may not actually be overweight. Muscle weighs more than fat and the fact that you can lose weight quickly means that your metabolism is working well. Not everyone is made to look like Angelina Jolie, and the more women who take a stand and say, "This is the way I look; I'm healthy and beautiful," the less people will have unrealistic expectaions. As far as the junk food goes, try healthy replacements, like soy chips or dried fruit.

I was once in the same position as your friend. I can't speak for her, but when my friend, "Sarah," came onto me, I was both flattered and excited by the taboo side of it. Our sexual relationship continued for a while until I realized that I was straight and was only excited by the novelty. I would say that you should talk to your friend honestly about your desires, and definitely don't pressure her if you want to retain your friendship.
