A.   12 September 2008: No, no! Definatley not! You don't KNOW this guy! My friend had a 'friend' online, but she found out that all the pictures he was showing her was from someone else's Myspace. You can't really trust anything online. ... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2008: Oh girl, please leave him! You deserve so much better than that! If he didn't do that to you when you first started, and it got worse, then isn't it possible to say it will CONTINUE to get worse? The things he does to you make me cringe, because ... (read in full...)

Q.   Okay, so I went to this camp, Habitat for Humanity, and I met the greatest guy. He's sweet, caring, and we have ALOT in common. He really likes me, and he is dealing with my emotional baggage and all my other problems and faults. The only problem ...

A.   6 September 2008: I really don't think you should be dating a sixteen year old when you're that young.... I remember when I was thirteen, and mind, I was pretty mature for my age then, but now that I look back on it I was in a farrr different mindset than what I am ... (read in full...)

I'm not sure if my teacher is seriously interested in me or just being very nice.

Q.   Really..to get up to speed..I graduated this past May..but At the beginning of the year, everything was normal between me and one of my teachers, but as the year went on, I realized that he started doing strange things, like telling other kids(as a ...

A.   5 September 2008: I don't know if you told your family differently than the way you told us, but I think it's sort of obvious he likes you, too. Either that, or he's EXTREMELY nice. If he's married, then don't do anything, but if you're legal, and not his student ... (read in full...)

A.   4 September 2008: Of course age dosen't matter, HOWEVER, I feel that when you're that young, you shouldn't be dating someone who's seventeen. People's brains, judgement, etc, develop the most in their teen years. You two are (most likely) on very different levels. I ... (read in full...)

A.   2 September 2008: I'm going to have to disagree with the people below me and say that cheating is cheating, no matter what the gender. She could easily be lying about being bi to you. You should talk to her about it and tell her how much it hurt you. It's hard to ... (read in full...)

Q.   I often have the fantasy of being subjugated and humiliated by a stronger, muscular, handsomer, and more well-endowed man in front of my girlfriend.she tries to stop him, at first, but eventually he ends up woo-ing her into having sex with him ...

A.   2 September 2008: It sounds like you have really low self-esteem. You just have to be confident that your girlfriend likes you for the way you are, and maybe you should look into how to love yourself more. (: ~Emma... (read in full...)

A.   1 September 2008: It is understandable to be deaming about sex. It's almost impossible not to with the media today. I did, and I bet almost everyone on this site did when they were a teenager. However, just because you have these thoughts does not, by any means, mean ... (read in full...)

He cheated to be with me...will he do it to me?

A.   1 September 2008: /: I can't believe you would do that to your best friend. What kind of a friend ARE you? But *sigh*, to answer your question, I'll just say, Once a cheater, always a cheater. And leave it at that. ~Emma... (read in full...)

Wouldn't it destroy our friendship if I told my mate that I like his girlfriend?

Q.   I am in love with my friends girlfriend: have been for a while, waaay before they started dating. I try and forget these feelings, but I cant. I just cant. One or two of my other friends know about this, and one of them seems to think I should t...

A.   1 September 2008: Yes, it would destroy your friendship, and no, you shouldn't tell him. A lot of kids your age think they're 'in love', but they really aren't. These feelings will pass, and it is not worth losing a friendship over. Also, bear in mind that the girl ... (read in full...)

A.   1 September 2008: Don't worry about your mom; mom's worry about everything. (: I agree with someone below me, though. Consider what it'll be like 10, 20, even 30 years down the road. If you still want to be with him after that, then go for it. Whatever makes you ... (read in full...)

A.   1 September 2008: DEFFINATLEY not. Do not stay with that jerk! He needs to respect you and your decisions, and he obviously dosen't. It sounds to me like he either a) Just wanted some actions, or b) Wanted to brag to his friends that he had sex in their house. On top ... (read in full...)

A.   31 August 2008: I'm sorry you shed tears over this. ): I used to be like that, too. Eh. I blamed it on hormones. Maybe you just need to mature a bit before you get into such a serious relationship like that. I swore off dating for a year and a half, and I got over ... (read in full...)

I moved to a new area, found a very nice guy to be with, things seemed to be going great, then he broke up with me, telling his friend, he thought I was weird, why would he act so differently?

Q.   I just recently moved to a new area and found someone who seemed perfect. He was a total Prince charming, had only kissed a girl on the cheek, and was so shy and sweet. We have some things in common like creativness and type of music ect. Well I ...

A.   31 August 2008: Of course you're not weird. He's the weird one! [But before I give my two cents, I just have to say... when you said you gave up everything for him (I might not know the whole story), but you said you only gave up a relationship that was based on... (read in full...)

A.   31 August 2008: He might want to get back together with you, he might not. He might just want to come and chat. The latter is probably not likley, but there's always that chance. I say hear what he has to say, but if he wants to get back together, tell him how you ... (read in full...)

Q.   Me and this girl fell deeply in love with each other around 4 years ago when we first met, since then it has been awesome ride, but the other day she all of a sudden said she doesnt want a relationship, to me this was abit of a shock, i thought it ...

A.   31 August 2008: Well, it seems pretty clear to me that when she said those things, she was either caught in the moment or lying. I know it's hard, and I sympathize with you, but I think you should respect what she wants and give her space. You can't force someone ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey, Okay this is a situation about me and my best male friend ever. Basically he's confessed that he's in love with me and I love him to bits too just not as more than a friend. He means so much to me and he has been there for me through thick an...

A.   31 August 2008: Explain it to your friend. Tell him how much he means to you, and make sure to tell him that you love him, but not that way. You would obviously hate to lose him as a friend, and I think he would hate to lose you to, he's just feeling hurt right ... (read in full...)

A.   30 August 2008: I'm fifteen as well, and to be honest, I used to be one of those popular, stuck-up people with all the friends in the world. It's definitely not as fun as it's cracked up to be. There's different drama every day, and it all seems to be linked to ... (read in full...)

A.   30 August 2008: I think you should respect his opinions and decisions. If he dosen't want to french kiss, then don't make him. If you didn't want to have sex with a guy, would you want them to keep pressuring you to? Just wait until he's ready.... (read in full...)

A.   29 August 2008: Number one, Mary isn't your friend and you can't trust her. I would say just cut her out of your life altogether. It might be hard at first, I wouldn't know becuase I'm not in your position, but you'll be glad you did later on. And Bob dosen't ... (read in full...)

"Love" your teacher?

A.   25 August 2008: I agree with you on many things. About how could any outsider REALLY say that they aren't in love with their teachers. But, you have to give teenagers a bit more credit. They know feelings pretty well--having about fourteen or so years to experience ... (read in full...)

A.   25 August 2008: I would say that it is possible that a jerk could change, but that's not the case 99% of the time. My dad always says, once a jerk, always a jerk. Move on. I'm sorry for saying it so bluntly, but I've gone out with a lot of jerks, and left each of ... (read in full...)
