Hi! My name's Taylor. I'm thirteen years old and I'm in the seventh grade. I love surfing the net and reading books. I'm good at singing and I love to talk. I'm loyal and trustworthy. Everybody trusts me with their secrets. And I like people coming to me for advice cuz it's one of my specialties and that's also one of the ways I help people :) Ask me about friendship(mostly), health, ettiquette, and other stuff.
P.S. Try putting your name on so it'll be easy for me. tnx!!!:)

advice
I stumbled across this site by accident. I seriously doubt many of you have the qualifications to give real people proper advice. After reading some of your responses to people's inquiries i was quite astonished as to how teenagers find they are able to give quality advice and information to real people in need with such little life experience. If you ask me you are not in a place to give your "personal opinion" when people truly believe you are giving them the right answer simply because you claim "people think i give really good advice". (eg. i am still at a loss as to how a 17 year old girl thinks she can give advice to someone regarding conceiving a child) I know you try to come across as a "godsend" to poeple who are in some sort of personal crisis and need a fast easy answer but the truth is, in the cases where it really counts, there rarely is one; at least not from you.
A lot of people have really turned against you, whoever you are. So you must've gotten the picture by now. Well most of us here try to help people who are in need of advice. We don't exactly "claim" that we give good advice just because we're told so. Besides, isn't that what the site is about? Getting and giving free advice. And what do you think are the qualifications? Tell us when you think of something.
well i just seem to feel more comfortable and easier to be friends with guys then girls. (by the way im a girl) i just feel like so shy when i try to be friends with girls and make friends with new girls and i dont know what to say. but it's so weird because most of my best friends are boys. like when i was little their was like 4 guys on my street and like one girl my age and i always wanted to play with the boys cause it seemed easieer. its just hard to be myself around girls. i'm definitely not a tomboy. i'm a typical teenage girl. i'm not talking about my sister or cousins, i mean just girls at school and stuff. what's my problem?
Trust me, you're not weird. Even I enjoy guys' company. But it is better to have both girls and guys as friends.You just seem to relate more to boys sometimes but there's no way that you can't relate to gals. It isn't hard to talk to girls like you. Talk about anything and be yourself. Try to hang out where you can meet girlfriends, like the mall or something. Get to know them better and soon you'll have one or more as friends. Anyhow, boys are cool and comforatble to be with sometimes, but there's a time when you need a girl talk that they might relate or a moment to hang with girlfriends.
Hope you'll find cool girlfriends! Good luck!
Later!

How to make new friends ?
How to talk when first meet with him or her?
First, go to places where you can find friends. School, library, camps, or other places. Try making the first move. Be friendly and outgoing. When you meet up with one, just talk like whatever pops into your head, just be yourself. Talk how you usually talk when meeting someone new. Show interest in making new friends. And they'll show interest in meeting you. Hopefully, you'll have new friends in no time!
Hope I helped! Good luck!

me and my best friend have been friends for almost 3 years now. this year though we have been fighting more. im moving in a couple months so its kinda sad that are last year together is like this. how do we stop fighting as much??? 13/f
When trouble tries to start, just remember:
-Don't argue just to prove a point.
-Some people take their problems out on their friends.
-Don't ever get stuck in the middle of other people's fights even if its your best friend's.
My best friend and I are cities away yet we're still best friends and we barely fight.
If you've done something hurtful to her, say sorry right away. If she's done something to you that wasn't very nice, try to forgive her and tell her that you're hurt. Just stay real to each other, be patient and communicate and you guys won't have that much fights.
Hope you're friends til infinity! Good luck!

All my life, every best friend I had has eventually left me. Moving away, losing touch, or a terrible fight has broken us apart. All I've ever wanted was one good friend who would never leave me.
This is my year so far: Met a girl in my new school, became best friends for half a year until she left me for a guy. My old best friend and I fought so he ignored me until we stopped talking. My other best friend became sort of slutty and we stopped talking.
What can I do to find a person I can have a lasting relationship with? How can I tell if our friendship will survive?
Friendships change for resons:
-New interests
-Being apart
-Family life
-New friends
That girl who left you for a guy is a jerk. About your old best friend, don't lose hope. I'm sure you can get back to being best friends again.
Just remember:
-Don't be afraid to make the first move.
-Adults can help.
-Keep your sense of humor.
If your other friend can stop being slutty, maybe you can work things out with her.
Here's what you need to look at for finding the right friend for you:
-Kind to people
-Friendly to you
-Same interests as you
-Honest
-Keeps promises
-Interested in knowing you
Remember: Nobody can be a better friend than you. The only way to have a friend is to be one.
No one's ever really sure if friendships are temporary or not. So be prepared for changes.
Hope you'll find a good friend who'll never leave you. Good luck!

im 13/f
my 2 best friends are like obsessed with their boyfriends. im single and they think that i dont know what its like to have a boyfriend. i do. lately they have been ditching me for their boyfriends and yeah i understand and all but they think they are in love and everything. yeah and i am jealos and it kinda makes me mad that even when they tell me that i come first they never act like it. i know when they break up there boyfriend they are gonna need me and illbe there for them, but they are just gonna ignore me again. i know i should talk to them about it but how?
thankss in advance xo
Friendships are very important and if you want to keep it, you could try showing that your happy for them. Tell them how you feel about all this happening. Tell them you want to be treated like a best friend. If they do come to you when their boyfriends break up with them then go to you and soon ditch you again, they're taking your friendship for granted. Try hanging out with other people who'll treasure your friendship as you do.
Hope things will turn out for you and your best friends! Good luck!

i dont want this to sound really pathetic but i dont have any friends! at the start of this year i went off to college without all my old mates and now they dont talk to me and i havent made any new ones.. i have tried to make new friends but it hasnt worked. im not very confident and i am really shy, has anyone got any tips on how to 'fit in' a bit more and make new friends? thanks x
You don't have to fit in, just be yourself. If you don't try again, you won't gain any friends. Try going to places where you can find friends such as class, lunch, library, camps, volunteer work, clubs or sport teams. Try making the first move and remember that:
-The person you approach might feel just as shy and nervous as you--maybe more!
-Most people are flattered when someone shows interest in them.
-If someone isn't intrested in getting to know you, it's that person's loss, not yours.
A word of caution: shyness can often be mistaken for unfriendliness.
Try to be more outgoing and find some friends! Good luck!

Well recently my best freind told me that she no longer wanted to be my friend just because i wasnt pretty enough and all most everyone has to disagree with that she also told me i didnt have enough money because i could never go out to the mall movies ect.. very often cuz i never had the money. Then she wrote me a note in class today and said you dont have a good enough body to be my friend im only friends with people that weigh less than 103pounds! SO what should i do to prove to her i am a good person even though i dont have as much money to spend as she does? Should i start skipping meals to loose weight? Should i duble my gumnastics classes i mean i go once a week for 3.5 hours and its really expencive so how do i prove it to her? Please help!!!!!
Alyssa/13/f
To Alyssa,
You know it dosen't matter what others think about you. What matters is what you think about yourself.
Listen to the wise girl inside you. Don't stay with lousy friends just because they'll leave you.
You shouldn't change yourself just to make people like you. If you call this girl your best friend, then she should be willing to accept you for who you are inside and out. And if this girl dosen't accept you, then she shouldn't be your BFF.
Just be yourself! Good luck!

Hello Friends, thank you for reading this. I have a friend, she was actually one of my first friends here, and I just heard that she was saying things about me behind my back to people that are my friends. Should I confront her about what she is saying?
You should definitely confront her. Go to your friend and talk to her. Find a good time when you can talk one-on-one. But do it soon; don't let it slide. Try not to involve others. It puts them in the middle and usually only confuses things.
And if your friend has been bad-mouthing you, find out what's behind it. Was your friend angry? Was there a misunderstanding? You need to find out what she was thinking and what she is willing to do to make things right.
If you deserve an apology, ask for one.
Hope things turn out for you and your friend soon. Good luck!

srry this is long (i'll rate :)
okay so i have been best friends with this girl for like 5 years, now we are both 13 and in 7th grade, but have totally different lifestyles. My family and I are religous, her and her family aren't. Her dad and mom both have a boyfriend/girlfriend that they live with, but all of them cheat all the time (this is where religion comes in; morals). Her dad drinks and takes steriods and is really stupid, like nobody really likes him (he thinks he's all cool because his girlfriend (who he lives with) owns an awesome exotic house and because of his cowboy hats). My dad thinks her dad hasn't accomplished anything, unlike my dad. Her dad thinks that he can tell my dad what to do, or call him a p*ssy and stuff for buying groceries (her dad thinks it is not "manly" to go grocery shopping, and that if a hurricane comes, you have to "ride it out" with the whole family, including toddlers, like a "man" would do). This girl is starting to be a fake, like whatever the popular people think, she will pretend to think ,even though she told me that she has to so people won't think she's weird or get mad at her. My mom wants nothing to do with any of it. Also, something that bothers me is that when I was allowed to see her, she would always cancel. (this was a few months ago) I remember one day my dad said she was going to come over, and he came back empty handed. I thought he was tricking me, but he just said "oh, she couldn't come, she had to go do something". I found out recently, this other girl, whom i used to be best friends with about 3 years ago, had come home or something and my friend decided to go over her house. So here's my dad going to pick her up, and she's like "oh, um, i am just going to go over to Christine's". She has done that A LOT. I talked to her about her blowing me off one time, and she's like "im so sorry". But this other girl is 14 and can do WHATEVER she wants. I mean, ANYTHING whatsoever. This other girls also cries because she hasn't had sex yet. Her dad is like a weirdo, so, yeah. Anyways, i just recently talked to my friend, and she was so glad i called and said she couldn't reach me (seriously, i am not allowed to give out my cell #, but she only called my dad's phone once). I am so confused, she always says (even in front of her other friends and other people) that i am her best friend (not just one of), but she doesn't treat me like best friends would treat eachother. She has been very nice since i talked to her, but she is fake around people, and i really miss her personality, her nice, funny, kind of i-don't-care-what-you-think-i-love-acting-goofy attitude. She has admitted to only acting differently so she can fit in, or so her friends don't get mad at her (what friends would do that?). My dad doesn't want to deal with the other girl i mentioned earlier and her family, or my friend's family. He is always like, "she always wants to be around her, not you. she always cancels on you at the last minute". I really miss her, and we have had so much fun, she never used to act like this. How can I tell her without her dad giving us a bunch of bull crap and without me seeing her? What should I say? I miss her so much, and I know deep down she is still herself, and that she is a good friend. I think she is confused also (I keep telling her i have plans to avoid her, my dad said to say that just until we don't have so much stress from some big problems we are having, he doesn't want more stress from her dad or anything). I also know that people change, and i wouldn't mind that, but she is now labeled "fake" from my viewpoint, believe me, she is not just naturally changing, i am 3 million % postive.
Don't fall apart. If you cry and beg her to tell what's wrong, you'll look like a bucket of Jell-O in July, and it will only make her feel more powerful. If she thinks she can control you, she'll do just that.
If you ever do get mad at her, do not try to get revenge by doing the same thing she's doing to you. Anger can spread and make things much worse.
Don't, I repeat, don't blame yourself.
Do make it clear that you want to be treated like her best friend. Tell her calmly that you don't like what she's doing and things will have to change for you to stay friends.
Hope you and your best friend will resolve things. Good luck!

I really would like to make more guy friends. Guys talk to me and stuff, but how do I develop a friendship with them? I'll give all 5's. Thanks
I'm kinda close to guys. Here are a few tips:
-Try to find some things in common that you and some guys have.
-Strike a conversation. Talk about their team, the hard Math homework, anything.
-Hang out with some of their guy friends.
-If you have no girlfriends to hang out with, go to them.
Hopefully, you'll have boy buds in no time! Good luck!

I'm the person who asked what to do about a test if you don't know anything that's on it. Well I still can't/don't understand it. It's just too confusing to me. I still study it, but I thought about something. I might bring a cheat sheet and hide it and take the test, and if I am totally lost then I'll look at it, if not then I'll just answer the questions.
Is this bad? Well I know that it's bad, obviously, but if you just can't get all the studying done and don't understand everything what else can you do?? I tried everything everyone else told me to do and it isn't working.
Do NOT lose hope just because you can't understand something, the least you could do is work hard for it--and not cheat.
If you still can't understand the lessons, try looking at the topics needed to be reviewed in your notes. Is there a list of people or things? Then you'll have to enumerate on the test. Is there an effect of a discovery, the significance of an object or a role of an individual or institution? Then you'll have to answer with an essay. Just try to analyze the lessons and study all over again.
If it dosen't benefit, try to talk to your teacher to help you out.
Hopefully you'll understand better. Good luck on your test!

i've been dating this high soceity broad for about twelve years. the other weekend, i finally met her parents for the first time. they were nice old timers, a little mad that we havent tied the knot yet, but polite enough to me anyways. the point is, i was at the dinner table in their *HUGE* home, and, being the lower-class truck driver i am, i had my elbows on the table while eating. her parents, sticklers for etiquette, were appalled that their daughter would date someone like me and forced her to break up with me. i think this is stupid. i left the house that night and havent seen her since. should i get back with her, even though her parents kicked me out of their house for talking with food in my mouth? what should i do?

To mannerless,
Do not dump the girl because you think you're not good enough for her. What you can do now is practice your ettiquette and learn some manners. Invite them to another dinner and impress them all.
Hope things turn out. Good luck!

My mom is one of the most stubborn unreasonable people I know, and it's easy to see that we don't get along. I played tennis last semster and I want to play badminton this semster, even though my PE credit was already fulfilled last year. However, my mom won't let me play badminton, because she thinks one sport a year is good enough and she thinks my grades will drop if I do play
If you're going to play another sport, make sure you're going to stick to it. Show her how responsible you are by doing well in both academics and sports in this semester and for the rest of the year. Try to do your best to earn your mom's trust.
Good luck this semester!

my bestfriend sandra has a big problem and my friends and i dont nkow what to do well shes turning 14 she has small boobs she wants them to grow but she dosnt want plasctic surgery everyn 1 teases her tells her omg go get a breasty surgery she wanst them to grow really bad what can she do to grow them because i feel really upset whn she crys :(:(
It's good to know you're very concerned about your best friend and even asked for advice on the net.
Rude remarks can really smart. What she needs to do is remember to look at the big picture. Are her breasts really the most important part of her? No, it isn't. The girl inside is what really matters.
If the teasing gets worse, or if everyone's words or actions make her feel threatened or afraid, tell her to tell a parent or teacher immediately. Nobody has the right to harrass someone or make them feel unsafe.
Good luck to your best friend!
