Q: My friend and I are having an argument over what makes people "Punk" She says its how the person dresses/what type of music they listen to. I say its how they act/what they do that makes them labeled that way. I get labeled punk alot cause my friends and I do crazy things & get into trouble alot, but I wear hollister/abercrombie and no one cares. Whos right?
actually, it`s what they wear, how they act, what kinda music they listen to, and what people actually think of them, and label them...

Q: I really want braces because I need them. My parents say I'm not mature enough though. I dont see how I'm not. I mean, they trust me for hours at a time by myself everyday. They even leave me responsible for my nephews when they come over. Plus, I'm 15 turning 16 in like a few days. And they make plenty if money for me to get them. We own like a 110,000 dollar house. Sometimes they claim that all our money is being spent on that but that's a bunch of bull. If my dad wasn't an alcoholic and spent all the money on booze. How do I handel this situation?
um, tell them to take you to see a orthodontics [i think it`s spelled that way] and maybe they can encourage your parents to get braces...




-good luck :]

Q: do guys like shy girls? guys opinions would be helpful. thankss :]
i think that guys like girls that are comfortable with themselves, are outgoing, and can talk.. also, they like girls that are funny. i was with a guy and he broke up with me `cus i was too shy. umm, just talk to them, bring up subjects, and make sure he`s having fun with you.


-good luck :]

Q: PLEASE READ. i was with a guy for 3 and a half years, we've been broken up for six months and i miss him terribly... we both decided it was over... with that conversation we said alot of things we didnt mean, well i didnt mean them and later on he told me he didnt mean the things he said... at first it seem'd like he hated me, we stopped talking but i found him on myspace and wrote him a long email about how much i missed him and how it wasnt over and he replied... 'stop and quit' so i did, i was going to give up and then one day he instant messaged me and we started talking again... in the relationship i was so happy but sometimes i wasnt but thinking back now it seems like im nothing without him... he still gets jealous over little things, hes had two girlfriends that lasted 3 days each and i havent had a boyfriend since him... should i tell him i miss him or should i just move on? im so confused... i find myself staring at his myspace everyday to see if his status has changed... pathetic i know but love makes you do crazy things... please help.. i love giving people advice but i dont know what to do with my own problems... : [
woww.. he had two girlfriends?? but he still gets jealous..?? hmm... girl, you should move onnnn!! obviously, he`s trying to move on too... but i think you shouldn`t go as fast as him... just slow down without him and when ure ready you could find someone new!! and of course, you could still be friends with him, there`s no problem with that! Right now, i know it`s hard to move on but eventually you will and so will he. To move on i recommend hanging out with ure friends, and watching movies.. (i eat a lot of chocolate) ;]

Q: Ok, well I had this boyfriend for a few months. He was my perfect guy, the type I've always dreamed about, my dream guy. In that amount of time, we went through alot together and I came as close to loving him as I've come to anyone ever (you know, in that way). Well, a whole lot of crap happened and he broke up with me and I still miss him like every day. I've been out and about alot and my girls have been like wicked supportive but it's been a few weeks and I still cry about it every day. I can't stop thinking about him or anything and I feel pathetic. So how can I get up and move past him?
i don`t think you should feel pathetic!! a lot of girls have been through this before. including me.. well, i don`t think he actually the perfect guy for you because he broke up with you.. &&part of a relationship is when you fight you learn how to stay together and work things out.
It`s great that ure girls have been supportive, it`s nice to have friends that really care. One boy isn`t everything, you`ll find someone perfect for you when the time is right. remember, there are many fish in the sea. but for now, hang with ure friends and chillax for a while..

Q: ok my parents are are divorced now and have been for a while now. I live with my mom and i go to az to vist my dad every summer for 1 mounth. I hate going to my dad because he is always trying to change me. I doesn't like the way I talk becuz i don't use proper grammer, i don't dress up everyday. I where jeans and a tee-shirt. my dad is even trying to make me do my make-up differnt. i told that i feel like he is trying to change me and i don't like it. I feel like my dad doesn't like me the way i am. I feel like i have to earn his love and it really hurts me. He has a huge ego, how can i tell how i feel without pissing him off because everytime i try i piss him off and he makes me feel bad about it. wheni am with him i can not bw my true self. please help me.
oh wow. my dad always does the same thing to me.. he tells me"HOW COME URE NOT SMART?! WHY DON`T YOU START HELPING AROUND THE HOUSE?!" and he yells at me. it`s sucks. i don`t think my dad likes me the way i am too. i recommend just telling ure dad the truth. tell him "dad, sometimes i feel you don`t like me the way i am. i don`t like to be changed.. i`m confident and happy w/ who i am and i want you to be happy with the way i am too..." and just have a nice long talk w/ him. and i think he won`t get pissed bc ure just expressing how you feel about him..


(: much luck

Q: there is this person i really like but idk if she likes me. i love her to death and id do anything for her. we used to talk but i guess its something i said to her and now she is mad at me and im feeling bad becus all i did was try and make her feel better. she doesnt talk to me anymore and i try to talk to her but she lies and says "i g2g" and just leaves. i think she noes i like her but idk.....what should i do?
okay. well this sounds like my friend patrick haha um.. well i told him to give her some time. then when you think it`s the right time just say hey. and ask about her day and stuff. if she`s still mad just talk to her but don`t push it too much.. if you keep trying to talk to her she`ll get annoyed. like i said, give it some time. and when ure ready tell her u like her (but don`t tell her online or on the phone), just tell her.. (girls like that fact that ppl like them) haha

Q: My Ex and I just got back on speaking terms. We were told that a close friend of ours sabotaged the relationship because he wanted to go out with me.... which turned out to be true. I have wanted to tell my Ex about getting back together. I've called him and emailed and I haven't heard anything from him. I saw him the other night and we were hanging out and things were just fine. I don't know what to do. I want to tell him, but how? What are some approaches I can use?
well he is ure ex, remind him of really great times when you two were together.. and once he wants to talk about it again, you`ll have a great convorsation and when ure ready u can ask him if he likes you or you can tell him you still like him.. or maybe you can get a friend to "clairify" if he likes you..

-good luck

Q: Okay, so there's this guy [my ex-boyfriend]. I only like him a little bit, but he's in love with me. We're really good friends, and we talk on the phone for at least an hour every day. But he keeps hinting how much he likes me, and it sort of makes my feel as bad I feel flattered. I've tried explaining it to him, but he just says, "So what? I'm not making you love me, I'm just saying that I love you."

It doesn't help that I'm still getting over a different ex-boyfriend at the moment.
okay well this guy says he loves you. but once he knows you don`t like him as much as he wants you to he`ll stop chasing you around. and if you really want him to just stop liking you just tell him the truth. say "i like you a little" and say srry... because of course you can`t help what you feel.
look, i had the same problem before and he kept chasing me around and asking me out FOR A YEAR!! but once he understood that i`m not right for him we eventually just became friends and it`s still okay for him and me `cus he found someone new.

-good luck

Q: ok. I've been dating this guy alittle over a week now. My cousin hooked us up but his ex girlfriend is my cousins bestfriend. Well my ex boyfriend and his ex girlfriend wont really leave us alone. Shes been callin him,textin him and goin over to his house and everything like that but he ignores her calls and texts and everytime she has come he makes her leave. NOw shes leavin me emails tellin me how lucky i am and all this. i know that seems like shes bein nice but i have this feeling shes tryin to break us up because she made it clear that she still cares for him. Shes wanting to start hanging out with me and him but im not comfortable with that at all and i told her that. Now peoples trying to start stuff so ill break up with him. He's telling me that he really wants this to work and that he really likes me and all that...but im scared im going to get hurt in the long-run. I really like him and everything and im gettin out of a 2 year relationship with this guy so im really falling for the new guy. Should i wait it out and see how it goes or should i just leave him alone?
well ignore that girl. she just had an old relationship with him and she`ll eventually find someone new. and if that guy really likes you, he`ll let go of her and she`ll get tired of running after you two. and talk to him into getting really into you (work ure charm!! =] )


-don`t worry. good luck

Q: me and my boyfriend just had a fight..a really big one, i screwed up i know. but i apologized
he hasnt called me in over 3 weeks. so i guess that means were not datin anymore?
i tried textin him about a week ago tellin him that i was sorry. he didnt reply, and he didnt call me back. i want to know whats going on with him sooo badly!!! i want to call him sooo bad, but i dont want to make it seem like im desperate. but i dont want to wait around either. i need him in my life..i just dont know what to do. and if i do call him..i dont want everything to be akward silence, i want everything to pick up the way we left it..i just dont know. help!!
okay well i had a problem like this before. Just call him and tell him to meet you somewhere where you can talk. it`s much easier, if you just say ure srry and how much u need him. and if there is an akward silence just think about what to say... don`t worry, you`ll do fine.


-good luck.

I like my boyfriend AND Joe.
Joe really likes me, like once, we almost kissed. We got close and then my cell phone rang.
My boyfriend is sweet and I love him to death, but I don't know what to do.
Like if I dump my boyfriend then go for it with Joe, Sara will hate me!

Q: Wear can you get those girl pants that are like plaid and they aren't quit capris are they are boy short length.

I've seen them in the guys section at american eagle and ive seen girls wear then but ive never seen them in stores. like a girl working at hollister wore a really cute pair of pink ones but i searched the store and they didn't have any

i want to say they are called bermuda shorts


and please tell me places where they acually carry then, not did at one time and no longer do (i prefer stores over websites)
there are many places you can get those. i have one myself! there`s abercrombie... theres forever 21 and tillys( which i recommend because it`s about 10-20 dollars cheaper) also, they are bermuda shorts.


-nice fashion choice..

Q: ok, im really good at field hockey, but i have a problem with getting the ball far. i have no arm muscles.

so i was wondering, which [arm] muscles are used, and any excersizes to help me build muscle there? (you dont have to answer both, anything is appreciated)
try building up muscles by using weights. they help you in becaming a great field hockey player. also, try running a little (you could make more goals by dodging the goalie)

-good luck
