My friend is going out with a guy that's a year younger than us (whom i like too.)He's like my best guy friend and i feel a little protective of him because a lot of people just want to go out with him for his looks and it's so annoying to me because they don't even know him the way i do. He flirts with me online and we can besically talk about anything. His girlfriend now won't even talk to him and she wants to break up with him, although i don't think she will. Please help! What should i do! i can't talk to him alone anymore because of her and i really just want to be with him! Should i ask her how she feels about him and and how she feels the relationship is going, in a friendly way? I'm not sure what i should do. I need another person's oppinion. Just to let you know, i'm 14, he's 13. (link)
yea just get her talkin about the r*ship and see how she feels and if yall are as good as friends as you say yall are then just talk to him but make sure he knows you have his best intrests at heart. just let him know wut you think of her but in a nice way.

how do you put someone into a mount, like what do you do. And what do the back and front spotters have to do? (link)
the back spot counts so the basses know when to go and htey just hold the back of and person until they get into the stunt and once they are oin the stunt they hold their ankels. what stunt are you trying to do and check out websites they have pics and direnctions on how to do the stunt proprly

I am 14, in ninth grade, and I am female.

Okay, first I'm going to give a little backround information.

I had a boyfriend that tried to cheat on me with his ex girlfriend. I knew that I couldn't trust him ever again, so I broke up with him yesterday. Don't worry, I feel really good about it.

Well, a few days ago, I found out from one of my friends that another friend of mine, Ricky, likes me. At first, I wasn't sure I could trust the friend that told me, T.J., because T.J. is weird like that. Then, my best friend Megan told me yesterday that Ricky has liked me for a long time.

My question is, is it okay to go ahead and date Ricky so soon after dumping my previous boyfriend?

if you like him wnat is the prob? the other bf didnt think about how you would feel if he cheated on you so if you like ricky go ahead and date him.


In school, I always feel like people are judging me. Only the popular ones though (because I'm not popular, I'm just average). I always watch what I do, to make sure it's something the popular kids would "agree" with (I guess?). It's not that I want to be popular (because, believe me, I really don't), but I just want to feel comfortable around them. It's kind of a weird topic, but I want to get it off my mind. I hate not being myself and I want to stop, but it's hard. I want to know your opinion on this. Thank you so much (link)
ok i am not bragging or ne thing but being a former cheerleader i would know i didnt really think i was popular but i hung out with the "in crowd" and trust me they do not judge you as much as you think actuly most of the "popular people" are to concerned with what people think about them and how they are getting pipmles that even with a microscope nobody would see, that they really dont notice what is happening around them(no offence). have you ever wondred y all the jocks and cheerleaders are concired dumb that is because they are to wraped up in their social life to do their school work.(lol) but ne ways dont worry about what others think i know it is easier said then done but it works so feel free to be youself.


What should you do if you keep on babysitting and they always say they will pay you but never do, and you are too nervous to ask them to pay you? (link)
let then know that you want your money if you are confident in your service and your abilty to take care of their kids then you should have no problem asking for the money they owe you. i mean if you did the work then you should get paid right? if your parents work didnt pay them do you think your parents would continue to work for them? probly not. so you either need to get your money or tell them that you will not work for them any more until they do i understand it is hard but you earned the money and that is not right for them not to pay you.


If I walked on a tredmale (however you spell it lol) for about an hour almost every morning, then ate healthy and also did pilates... How long do you think it would take for me to notice results? (Especially a flat stomach and skinnier legs/thighs) Thanks!! :) (link)
ok any excrise is good but the more you do of it and the better you the fast you will see resultes but remembel that not eating is not good for you so dont go over bored. you also do have to eat crazy things like seaweed wraps and junk like that to lose weight jusdt use your common sence and dont chow down on pizza everynight and cookies are not a real lunch but if you do stick to your plan then you should see your results in 3-6 weeks


i am a female giirl 14 yr.s old(9th grade) i was just wondering ... wut color eye shadow and eyeliner would look good with me ... heres some details of wut i look like.. i have Long brown hair blue eyes my skin color is average... i just need some kind of makeup on myself because i want a new look...and like i luv hip-hop im not into the punk or rock kinda stuff so if you no wut a lotta giirlz where on their face to give them a good natural style but also something that you can notice please giive me good advice i rate hiigh !! (link)
ok i have brown hair and blue eyes also ,and i use a sublet eyeshadow that is kind of shimmary but not to outlandish i tryto stay away fron bright colors and stick to nautrals. as for eyeliner use black or brown and only on the bottom lid b/c it makes your eyes stand out more and if you put it on the top it takes away from the blue of your eyes.


Hey has anyone out there torn their Achilles tendon? I have it is MAJOR pain. For you all who have do you still wear your brace? Well let me know

hooopster (link)
if your doctor told you to then do what you are told. you should not become dependant on your brach it will weaken your ankel because you are used to having it then whan you dont you will reinjor your ankel. if it is doctors orders to continue wearing the brace or not you really need to listen to what he says.


i have a knee problem - osgood schlatters. does anyone know anything that i could do to help it not hurt [as much]? i'm a runner and i have a knee brace and i ice it if it hurts a bunch but are there any stretches that i could do that might help? thanx :D (link)
umm ne thing that makes you knee stronger(the tendents and ligament around it) but try to stay away from squats.



I'm a teenager ,I have everything I need
my dad would do anything for me,my mom is always
telling not to do stuff I really like, last week
she may me skip the dance try out she knows how
bad I wanted to be on the dance team ,last summer she
convinced me not to go at the cheerleading try out
I talk to many people they said I shoul think about why she does those things.I really starting to hate her she gets on my last nerves
I always said I'm not happy I always I never see
what I have,I constantly think about killing myself I never think positive I'm always sad
I want to have a boyfriend I constantly say I want,I want I don't like this country I miss my boyfriend my friend and my popular life here I'm nothing,although I have friends who truly love me. just surrounded by other races I want to go back I feel like I don't belong here I worry about every thing. I don't like myself even though I'm cute not ugly. I'm desperate for love I'm not a outgoing person I lock myself in my room now my dad is getting mad all the time about that .
I never show love to anybody.
what wrong with me ,what should I do
help me please.
thank you beyonda K (link)
ok this is a tough one. but i know how you feel about your mom, because my mother did the same thing to me with cheerleading. she convinced me not to tryout this year, and now i really wish i had. you need tyo talk to your mom tell her what your goals are. let her know this stuff is bothering you. she can't read you mind. as far as killing yourself DON'T!!!!!! my favorite quote is if god brings you to it he will bring you throught it he will either lighten your load or strenghten your back. you will get throught this life will get better this is just a rough time for you and everybody has them.
