Ask your friends if you want advice that's sugar coated. Ask your coworkers if you want advice that's loaded with ulterior motives. Ask your family if you want brutal answers that really only answer their own issues, and never really address yours.


Ask me if you want it straight up. Not shaken or stirred with someone else's issues.

Ok well this year was perfect til thsi new student showed up and he hates my guts! Everytime he sees me he would whisper I'LL KILL YOU just for me to hear only and makes his hand into a imaginary gun and "shoots me"..

He keeps saying YOU BULLIED ME IN KINDERGARDEN! (I'm a girl) and I'm guessing that's the big reason he hates me?

Frankly i don't care very much cuz this guy is the weirdest one in my class and everyone thinks he's crazy or mental since he says the weirdest random things out of no where liek if noones talking.

I had an accident about 3 years ago so i wouldn't remember if i bullied him or not and so I'm not aploligizing to him even though maybe it'll stop it. But if I did it was a long time go, KINDERGARDEN! He should suck it up and forget about it! Even I got grudges and some have to do with a person in my class but everytime I see her I don't go YOU HURT MY FEELINGS or give her this hating sign with my hands!

I don't like him very much by the way he's acting to me. I just pretend I never remembered him at all when he mention's it and act normal.

He's so stupid! Like he's trying to make everyone hate me because one time he told that to the WHOLE class! "Oh she bullied me in kindergarden" "WHAT?! Man, but she's the nicest girl in class!" And he tells the whole story to the class while IM RIGHT THERE! i don't tell people my issues with this girl and she's in the classroom!

But i feel so sad that someone hates me SO MUCH for something a long time ago..I'm a nice girl..high grades..everyone likes me and bullies bully people in my class for fun but thye don't tease me or whack me and I'm the weakest girl in the class. I even tried to talk to him a few times nicely and randomly offered him things like this snack i didn't like but maybe he did.

But I can literally feel the hate coming out of him which is like hurting me. Like come on..if it was kindergarden and I did bully him, I'm pretty sure it wouldnt' be bad since it's kindergarden and I've been so skinney my whole life! You shouldn't be going crazy for one thing.

As far as I remember, it was grade one. One day we had activities center and there can be up to only 3 people in a station and after a certain time, we rotate or go to different stations. I was the third person to go into a group til he came in and I said "you know there can onyl be three people in a group?" he made this rude face and said "SO?!" and kept playing. So I just went to the teacher to just tell her nicely about it but I guess he thought i was going to her so she could yell at me so he started crying and they phoned hsi parents cuz he wouldn't shut up about it.

Man..what a baby.

But I feel so bad that someone hates me so much like he's making a big deal about it so I hate him too but I don't go aorund doign what he does and tell it to other people. Like if it's something going on with the both of us, he should be talking to me.

What should I do?

I know you would say get alone with him and tlak but remember that i said that he's mental, crazy and different? I can't even explain what he's do but yeah..=S

I really hate to be this way with you, but you absolutely without a doubt HAVE GOT TO report this to the teachers, counselors, and principal at your school. With Virginia Tech, Columbine, and other incidents of kids having such deep hurt and pain that they lose it and take it out on others there is no way you cannot let this go.

You're his target. For whatever reason, real or imagined, this kid has it out for you. He threatened you, what he's doing is illegal, most schools have a zero tolerance for bullying.

You need to tell your parents, you need to tell someone at school, and they need to contact the police.

It is so embarassing and scary for you to do this, but your life could be in danger. Even if he's just joking, there is something very real that you cannot fix. He needs help, you need to be careful and save your life and possibly the lives of your friends and report this. Do it now!

If I knew where you lived and went to school I would do it for you. Please help this kid get help.

whats a diss you can say back to someone who calls you(im making a nice revision)an idiot¿

I'm guessing "Takes one to know one" is not up your alley. Really, only an idiot/moron/tard/toolbag would diss this person back. A smart person would just say whatever and walk away. You really want to waste your time on them?? Really? Lame. Next time ask them to say it louder so other people can see what a huge jackass they are for name calling.

Anyone with manners knows you name call and diss BEHIND their back. Hellooo!

im really like sad i guess.. to the point of crying. and its just so messed up. im 15/f - first of all, it just feels like everyone aruond me is getting a boyfriend or has one, and if they dont have one, they're talking to a guy they might like and that lieks them. no one likes me. idont know why. it just really bums me out, because i know i would be so happy if i had a boyfriend or a guy i liked and don't tell me"oh it will all come in time" or "they should like you for you" or wahtever. just please help me.. how can i talk to guys more, so i can like get a boyfriend or start liking someone or get someone to like me. how can i get more confidence and be more "flirty" and just show that i'm out there and looking or whatever?

Damn... I was so there in high school. My big regret (thus my answer for you!) is not hanging out with guys more. I always hung out with guys from other schools, which was cool and gave me some leads, but I never put myself out there with guys at my school.

Sounds like your situation is really good though, since your friends have guys they hang out with you've got a great starting point. Talk to your girls about getting a group together to go out or hang out at someone's house. Invite their guys and their friends.

How to flirt?
- Joke around with them
- Show similar interests (safe bets are sports, colleges, music, movies)
- Let yourself debate a little too. It shows confidence to stick to your guns.
- Be a little quirky (gives them something to remember you by)
- Get a part time job where people your age work (restaurants! Most will let you be a hostess when you're 15 to 17)
- Be confident above all else. This will help you stand out since most girls your age are dealing with similar insecurities or shyness
- Bring a friend who brings out your best side and your natural self, have them help you
- Don't be afraid to make physical contact... touch their arm when you're telling them something, soft punch to upper arm -- it's all about the subtle body language


Having a boyfriend can be fun, but enjoy being single and dating all different types of guys. Most girls in their mid 20's regret not being more open minded when they were younger. Go for it and work it, girl!

13/f
ok well there is this popular girl in the 7th grade lets call her erin. well we went on a field trip today and after we went to dairy queen and then one of my best guy friends lets call him billy got his hand stuck in this mailbox thing and i tried to get it out and erin passed by and was like ok you guys stop flirting and holding hands and i was thinking wtf and i walked away so she went out the door and there was a bunch of 6th and 7th graders sitting out there and then erin was like omg you guys samantha (lets call myself that) and billy are going out and they were laughing and stuff i heard from inside then one of my BFF's came inside and was like omg samantha your going out with billy and all that stuff and i told her no and every1's coming up to me and asking me that and i DO NOT like billy, not now nor everr and im soo sick of it this girl erin starts so much shit i hate her soooo effin much and i wanna get even, i DONT CARE if its wrong and its the end of the school year i wanna do something to get her back, she has a boyfriend if that helps thanks guyss

Here's what you say, "I'm so over her. I must be cool if she cares so much she's going to spend her time talking about me". And really, isn't that the truth?? Why else do bitches talk shit? Because they are so absorbed and consumed by you that they need to say stuff to try to bring you down. It's sad and pathetic really.

The BEST REVENGE is being hotter and more confident and more well liked. Do NOT under any circumstance start spreading through the gossip girls (you know who they are) that you don't like Billy and he's gross and there's no way there's anything there between you two. That makes you look like a catty bitch, which is just what Queen Bitch wants you to look like. Be cute, have confidence, and know that you're better than catty little pathetic bitches like that.

hellppppp. im 17/f and a junoir in high school. well for drivers ed last summer i had this coach who is about 45 years old has grayish-white hair and really tan and for some weird reason i was like attracted to him in a weird way. and today i saw him again for the first time in a while and he said hey and all and like icouldnt stop staring at him. i feel like attracted to him for some reason!! is this weird? or gross? im confused.

Enjoy the attraction. It's not like you would ever EV-ER pursue/seduce/screw this man. Right? RIGHT?! It's a fun little odd crush. We all have them. Meanwhile, keep this a little private fantasy but save your energy for a real crush on someone under 20. After all, going out to Chili's and have the waitress tell you it's cute that your dad still likes to take you out is creepy. And you're above that.

i used a tampon for the first time today, and i'm not sure everything was quite right. i could feel it, but only when i was thinking about it, so its possible i was just freaking myself out. well, i went to the bathroom, and it came out a little and hurt, so i took it out. was it just not in far enough, or what?

You should never be able to feel your tampon. Maybe just maaaybe you might feel the string, but if you're feeling the tampon you need to take it out completely and try again with a new one. Under no circumstances can you just "push it in a little more".

ok so i love to dance i love it alot do you think if i get dance videos or something and start doing that if that will help me lose weight????

3 words... Yoga Booty Ballet

Ashley Simpson is a fan also. They have tons of DVDs, each with their own dance style. Don't expect to drop massive weight. If you want to tone and firm and have fun doing cardio, this is good for you. I find that I need to do more to actually drop pounds and really "feel the burn".

Great abs routine with this, btw.

my mom's thinking about getting a 2007 or 06' honda element...how reliable are they? would you recomend it, are the seats comfy?

Looks-wise, this vehicle is a shoebox. Then again, it's a mom car, so whatev.

Go to ConsumerReports.com and check out their ratings. Hondas are typically pretty reliable.

im looking for eyeshadow quads/trios.

any recommendations? i want them to stay on long...

ive been looking into rimmel and revlon...any preferences?

Covergirl and MAC... Unfortunately MAC is more pricey, but damn those colors are rich and they last! Covergirl I've used for yearrrssss and love.

Tip for lasting eyeshadow: Put a dab of foundation on your eyelids BEFORE swiping on your shadow. Sometimes I even try dabbing some powder on prior to the shadow. If you use eyeliner, do it last.

i really like this one guy, but i really don't think i'm alive. i really want him to ask me out but he never talks to me. what sould i do?

Oooo, been there. Done that. Unrequited crushes are a bitch, no? The funny thing about attraction is that guys seem to be more attracted the less you think about them. I'm by no means recommending you chase another guy and hope for jealousy to wake him up to your awesomeness. I'm just saying that I would talk to other guys in his presence, maybe befriend some of his friends? Also being where he is increasing the chances of him noticing you. Similair interests usually open the door to communication. Being laid back, able to joke around with him, give him a little bit of a hard time seem to be the best way to start flirting. If you want to balls up and ask him out, try inviting him and some friends to a group event like a ball game or concert. The best thing a girl can do is put herself out there, and hold her head high no matter what happens. It's brave and it only scores you major confidence points (even if it's the last thing you are!)

Work the confidence, get some back up from your friends, and go for it! Time it right and be confident, use your humor to get ya through it.

Ok well I share my stuff with ym friends like drinks and food. Um..I just found out that one of my friends is sexually active.

I don't know if she has anything from it but if it's bad and I share my drinks and food with her will I get it?

You should be fine sharing drinks and food. However, I'd avoid sharing if I ever saw a cold sore on any of their lips. It'd be worth the extra $2 to get your own Coke and not chance that shit.

I'm wondering, if you go out in the sun (protected) for a little while each day, does your skin eventually get more used to the sun? And therefore, less likely to burn?

You'll have a hard time finding a doctor who will say that getting a "base tan" or gradual tanning is a healthier way to tan. That being said, I think it's easier not to burn this way and I did this for 2 weeks leading up to my wedding last summer and had a killer tan that actually stayed longer into the fall. You can also try using a self tanner with this method to get an even tan. I use it on my tan lines so I look even. (that and a little bronzer!)

Definitely continue to use sunscreen though, even on a cloudy day you'll be suprised how after 4 days of an hour each of tanning how tan you can get. The real bitch is getting sun spots that look like pale freckles that last forev. ugh!

i need to tighten my butt because i have "dimples" on my butt, and since it's summertime, i don't want my butt to look funny in a bikini. what are some exercises i can do and are there any sites that can help me with this?


thanks.

Oh girl. You and me need to be doing lunges and squats. As for cardio (essential, don't let anyone tell you otherwise) I totally recommend walking on the treadmill at an incline, raise it by 2 every 3 minutes and keep at it for 30 minutes. Interval training is also what Jessica Simpson used to get in shape for her Daisy Duke role. That means jogging/walking intervals every 5 minutes or so.

Lunges:
- alternating legs, holding 3-5 lb weights and curling as you do each lunge
- one leg at a time, holding 3-5 lb weights at your sides

Squats:
- you can just do 2 sets of 30 squats OR
- do squats holding a bar behind your neck or using 3-5 lb weights at your sides

For overall toning in your butt and legs and arms I also like to do yoga. There's a great program at 6am ET on Oxygen called Inhale. Or you can download Yoga to the People for free on iTunes and listen to it on your computer or iPod.

heyyya.
okay; i'm going to tell you about what i'm going through right now. i'm so confused on who to choose, so maybe you can help me. :( or give me a boost to the right direction.
there are 3 guys, and let me give you each story. [R; D; B;--is what they'll go by]

D;-i just started going out with D like 12 days ago. i honestly jumped into the relationship without getting to know him at all. i talked to him one night on the phone for like 20 minutes, then the next night he asked me out &i said yes. there was one mistake. then he told me he wouldn't break up w/ me..&i told him the same. [another mistake] i do honestly like D, but i just don't know much about him. he's really sweet, and i don't want to hurt him. i just don't know what i should do.

R;-it started out about 4 years ago, when i met him. i just knew there was something about him, and i've liked him ever since. well, he's never given me a chance because ''he doesn't date chicks more than 2 years younger than him'' [as of right now; i'm 15 &&he's 17. he'll be 18 in august] the other day, he came down to my house without me asking him to. [which is suprising, because he barely comes down anyway] and we were talking and stuff, and he mentioned something abut me oweing him something. [kisses from a few months before.] i told him i couldn't give him those kisses, then he knew i had a boyfriend. long story short; R told me that on wednesday we would talk about being together. [wed-my15bday] well, we talked and he told me not to break up with my boyfriend, just to go out with him. R even promised me that there would be another chance for us. :( but there are bad things about R. [drugs;use to be playa;quit school]

B;-i just met B at the beginning of the 2nd semester. after spending alot of time with him, i grew to like him. we had said during summer we were going to a concert/show together and hangout some. i would always flirt with him and stuff, and he would flirt back. i kinda thought that he might like me, but he kept talking about other girls. then i heard he was talking with a chick named amber. anyway; during the end of the school year, B started to talk to me less. i asked him what was wrong, and he told me he didn't want to intefer with me &my other guys. [i don't know what he meant by other guys] come to find out; B likes me. he told me he thought that he was going to end up being my boyfriend, and stuff. he told me that we wasn't going to hangout this summer or anything, because i had a bf. i told him he wasn't interfering &&i still wanted to hangout. now that school is out; i haven't talked to him since.


so there are the guys.
i like them all.
1st R; 2nd B; 3rd D.

i don't know who to choose to be with.
because i'm so confused about stuff.

i hope you can give me a little advice.
sorry this was so long.
thank you.

Hey girl,

Most girls would die to have this dilemma at your age. You're obviously a cool chick or these dudes wouldn't be after you. And so honest and up front. Oh wait, that was only B. He's my pick for you. Why?

I'm annoyed at D. What guy tells you, "I'll never break up with you"?? This isn't Titanic and "I'll never let go...never!" What's with the drama? You don't need a soap opera, this guy totally sounds like one. Plus, there's no chase in that. AND he generally creeps me out from what you've said. What will he say next "I'll hurt/kill/maim myself if you leave me?" Annoying. (he must be hot, right? why else are you dealing with this?)

R. Oh R, you bad boy, you. You dabble in drugs, you play a hell of a mind game for four long years, and your idea of a good birthday gift is to tell a girl that "we'll talk about the possibility of maybe sort of being together". Excuse me, but wtf? Oh wait, he must be a saint, because this guy loves you so much he doesn't mind that you have another guy in the picture. Girl, this dude is trouble. The R must be for Risky, cause that's what you'd be doing to your heart if you chose this one. (Again, he must be smokin hot... all the more reason to love and let go)

Hence, my choice would be B. He is taking it slow, which means he think you're worth the chase. He also seems to care the most because he's not going to start something he can't do 100%, the right way, with no other dudes involved. I like that he wants you all to himself (yet won't involve drama or Kate/Leo antics to do it). He seems like the guy with the most dignity and sincerity, which means there's a good chance he's going to treat you like a princess. Yet there's still that chase there (other girls are figuring out he's a nice guy, hence Amber being in the picture). Respect this guy and quit the other 2. 86 the games and spend your time having fun with someone who won't mindfuck you for the next 3 months. Good luck!

well i started to talk to this boy and then a couple months later i realized i like him....... ALOT. but i never knew his age now that i do know it bothers me. hes a seventh grader when im a sophmore. what should i do?


-Alyssia G

Oh girl... stay away from this one. Romantically that is. Stay friends, keep it platonic (no crushes!) Keep it real and give your reputation a break by not bringing on the drama of dating a guy who's years younger at this age. Hell, as a woman in her mid to late twenties my friends who STILL give me a hard time at dating a guy who is 4 years younger.
