I started answering questions on this site because I like to help others with their problems. I am 16, therefore I only answer teenage questions, as I feel adults would feel quite embarrassed if they were being advised by a 'child'. When answering, I go for the brutally honest approach, this may sometimes be harsh, but I am a strong believer in honesty, and I know I wouldn't want to be lied to or tricked if I was asking for advice. I tend to also ask questions in my answers, simply to get the writer to think and perhaps come up with their own solutions rather than relying on the thoughts of others which could hinder rather than help their situation, I always think the writing is not the full extent of the story and provoking thoughts is the best method of advice.

A.   19 February 2011: He could be doing this because he's a very insecure person himself, he most likely does it to make himself feel better, he thinks he looks 'cool' because he knows their bra size. No matter how hard it is you do need to talk to him about your ... (read in full...)

How do I hold hands with my shy boyfriend for the first time?

Q.   I've been going out with my boyfriend for almost two months now, and we haven't held hands and we've only hugged once. We are both very shy, me especially, and he's very hard to read. I would really like to hold hands, hug, or cuddle with him; but ...

A.   17 February 2011: Ahhh, this sounds so familiar! I've been in EXACTLY the same position except that I'd had the odd boyfriend before so I decided that he wasn't comfortable with making the first move so I would. Basically we were walking next to each other, and I ... (read in full...)

What kind of things do high school boys look for in a girl?

Q.   What kind of things do high school boys like in a girl for them to like that girl? Do they need to look, act, and dress in a certain way for that guy to like them? Is it better to try and be their friend first? But more importantly, what kind of ...

A.   13 February 2011: I don't think girls need to dress in a certain way to impress the guys, as long as you don't dress so appallingly that you would embarrass them in public, some guys like a girl who is fashionable and 'follows the crowd', while others will like a ... (read in full...)

A.   11 January 2011: You need to take a break with Alfie, and just clear your head. Give some serious thought to who you want, who has the best qualities etc. Maybe you'd be better off alone? Just try get both of them out of your head and just sort your thoughts out. ... (read in full...)

A.   11 January 2011: You should tell hit your feelings yes. He may say he doesn't like you either but you're hiding your feelings, so it's quite possible he's hiding his too. It's not certain he does feel the same way, but there's no harm in letting him know how you ... (read in full...)

A.   3 January 2011: To be perfectly honest with you, he doesn't sound like the kind of person who you'd want to have a serious relationship with if he does drugs and drinks a lot etc, and he definitely doesn't sound like the kind of person who could father a child, so ... (read in full...)

I get attached too easily!

Q.   I like someone a lot but I notice that I think about him too much. I notice that when I like someone I get attached easily and it is hard for me to keep my options open. I am young and I want to be able to stay single to stay focused on my career ...

A.   3 January 2011: I don't think it's possible to control your feelings if you like someone you're talking to, and I think if you have enough self control you can still focus on your career goals, provding your partner understands this. After all, if it's going to be ... (read in full...)

A.   31 December 2010: I don't think him not having any friends is an issue, as you say he has people to hang out with, however if he starts overcrowding your life then talk to him about it. If you are going to be in a serious relationship then you should be his first ... (read in full...)

Q.   First of all sorry for this being long. Basically about just over a year ago now this boy added me on facebook, we became really good mates, and exchanged numbers. Then we used to text, go on msn and facebook to each other a lot. Then i was in hi...

A.   22 December 2010: If he's faithful to his on-off girlfriend, he's probably not interested in you, and doesn't the fact that he was 'ill' yet you saw him out later tell you something? He doesn't want to be with you, he was saying he was ill to get out of it. I'm sorry ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2010: I think you can just live in hope. She is obviously trapped in her abusive relationship and you cannot do anything until the door is released. You are evidently a much better boyfriend but you are just going to have to wait. Hope this helps.... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2010: I don't think is particularly normal behaviour no, but I wouldn't call it abuse- yet. If you're feeling uncomfortable in your relationship and he is saying horrible things and forcing to you to have sex you should tell him how you feel, alth... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2010: It doesn't seem there's any real bond between you two, you're just using each other for sex because you don't have anyone else to do it with. I think you could date him if you created a good relationship, but don't do it just because you feel it's ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2010: To be honest I think you should stop thinking about this teacher, he is massively older than you and most likely not interested in you. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you really should move on and find someone your own age.... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2010: It sounds like this girl was probably just didn't like these guys but didn't want to hurt them so said yes to the date and then made up an excuse, so in response to your question, you can't really do anything, it seems that if she likes you she'll ... (read in full...)
