iStudents - Gossip/Fashion

Monday Update: the Revival Begins

2008-05-05T17:14:00.002-04:00

Hey, everyone! I am really sad to see iStudent wither away like this, so I am making it my OFFICIAL mission to revive iStudents, one page at a time! Here are some of my ideas to help bring the Gossip/Fashion page back to life again!

-I'll bet the main thing we care about with fashion thesedays is... what to do about the dresscode!? Found any loopholes in what we can do? Any cute accessory ideas you can share with us? We're all suffering here, so please help!

Okay, I'm not good at this! I don't belong on the fashion page! More about what to do here will be coming later, from possibly a different source.

Please help to revive iStudents!

Contest

2008-04-12T22:26:00.001-04:00

Since there was no interest in the contest, it's now over.

Good job to Carly, though, for turning in her design. It was a fabulous design complete with handbags, shoes, etc. Yay, Carly!

2008-03-08T19:17:00.005-05:00

Alrighty...

This is based on a point system. The more points you get, the more likely you'll win. Each entry will start out with 10 points. With everything that we think is bad, we'll subtract a point. For everything we think is good, we'll add a point. The three judges - most likely me as one of them - will each score the entries and we'll add all the points up in the end.
You may enter as many times as you wish.
If you draw it on a person, you'll get 5 bonus points.
If you include a handbag/purse, you'll get 2 bonus points.
If you include jewelry, it's 2 bonus points each.
If you have shoes, it's 2 bonus points.
If you draw an outfit for a person of the opposite gender that goes with the original outfit, you'll get 15 bonus points.
It doesn't have to be colored in, but if it is, you get 3 bonus points.
If you do NOT go to HMS, you either cannot participate - sorry! - or you will have to find a scanner, scan it onto your computer, and email the sketch to me or Kenzi. Anyone can email it to us, whether or not you go to Hanes.

The deadline will be April 14th. If you turn it in...

March 10th-16th: 30 bonus points
March 17th-23rd: 20 bonus points
March 24th-30th: 10 bonus points
March 31st-April 6th: 5 bonus points

The prizes will be...

3rd place: Certificate
2nd place: Choice from the prize box and Certificate
1st place: Earrings, choice from the prize box, and Certificate

If you don't go to Hanes and we will never see you, but you win, you will get a Certificate only. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good luck!

[[We are looking for a third judge, hopefully male in case there are any entries from guys. It doesn't matter if you are female now; we just need another judge. If you are a judge, you can NOT participate in this contest. Judges will get together after the end of the contest to decide on the entries. Please let me know at koalasrock@gmail.com or sylviaachen@yahoo.com ASAP. Keep checking this post for any more changes.]]

Oh, and if you are NOT in my grade, look at the contact details on the first page, under 'Silly'. If you do not know where Mr. C's classroom is, it's the one nearest the art room, in front of the spanish room. I'm usually either there or walking around. If you can't find me then, give your entry to the 6th graders, Susannah or Jessica, and tell them to give it to me. Please put it in a folder or something and have your name, grade, and homeroom. This goes for all entries. 8th graders, hand it to Hannah W., Amanda, or Sharon and say it's for me.

Any other questions? Email me.

CONTEST!

2008-03-08T18:10:00.002-05:00

Hey, readers!

This is for all of you fashion-loving people. This contest is going to be... design your own outfit! Your outfit should have your own special touch. You can sketch it and give it to Kenzi or Silly, and we will go over them. The theme for the outfits is a Night Club-ish thing.

The deadline is undecided.

Prizes are undecided.

Get sketching!

This is my friends promblem who lives in New York

2008-03-03T19:51:00.002-05:00

Okay so my friend lives in the big apple and he has a problem. He has a girl friend but everyone in his grade bug him about it. He really likes the girl but he gets a bunch of crap from everyone because she has a record of some crazy relationships. All I know is everything is fine with them it is just even his friends are bugging him about it. Also his friends want him to kiss her but he doesn't really want to do it. What should he do???

ADHD Dilemna

2008-02-21T19:26:00.005-05:00

My brother has ADHD (mental disorder) but over all he's a normal person. The only thing different about him is that he is extremely rude and annoying sometimes. It’s not just to me; he cusses out my parents and is disrespectful. Every night he fights with all of us and it can really hurt. My parents are tired of it and have thought about sending him away. I don’t want for our family to be torn apart. He has also begun to constantly yell at me no matter what I do. If I walk down the hall way I'm yelled at, if I go to the bathroom I’m yelled at, if I even yawn he yells at me. I can’t take him yelling at me every second of the day and it’s gotten to the point where I no longer look up to him. I want nothing to do with him. I’ve actually gotten to the point where I hate him (I know it’s a strong word). Like today I had just gotten back form a doctors appointment and I was filling my mom in on what the doctor said and he started yelling at me. I'm sick and tired of him. I can usually stay calm but lately I've stooped down to his level and yelled back. It’s really hurting me the way he treats me and it leaves me with no patience. What should I do? I can’t take it anymore and I'm starting to crack.

Okay, I like this guy, and he recently found out that I liked him. Noone told him, he was just guessing and when he guessed himself, I blushed. He promised he wouldn't tell anyone, but I'm not sure if he will. He didn't show any sign that he liked me back, but he continued talking like nothing had happened. What should I do?

I have a question. How the heck do you tell whether or not a guy likes you or is flirting with you? I really like this one guy, and he's one of my guy friends. He always makes it seem like he's flirting with me, but I can never tell for sure! I don't know if he likes me or not or if I should ask him out! Some one help!!!

My BFF is breaking up with her bf. He was gonna ask random girls to the dance, instead of my friend. So we planned the perfect break-up for her to ditch that loser. But now she likes someone new. At first i was so happy for her, break-ups don't get her down! But now i found out she likes the same guy as me! I really don't wanna like him, but I do. She knows I like him, she doesn't want me to like him, but she doesn't hate me for it. PLEASE HELP!

Dear iStudents,
I really want to go to the formal with my bf. But how can I do that if i can't even say hi? He never brings it up, so I don't even know if he wants to go. Actually, I don't think he knows about it... I'm so shy, it's really a problem. I really want to talk to him, but I just don't. Please help!

I used to be good friends with this great girl. But then she started telling really mean jokes about me and getting mad at me for little things. She's always putting me down. I don't know what to do! I kinda want to ditch her, but i kinda don't! What should i do?

Fading Friendship?

2008-01-12T12:14:00.000-05:00

I am best friends with these two people. We always talk about how it's great that we're a "best friend triangle" but lately I have been having some problems with them. They always talk about how all of us need to get together or whatever and then they always invite me over on a date that they know is bad for me or they don't invite me at all. Then next time I see them they always joke about what they did and I'll be like "What was that about?" and they'll say "oh nothing, you weren't there and it's a long story." I feel really left out and uncomfortable and stuff. I know they are bff but I don't know if I am with them anymore. Also, sometimes I miss our Youth Group meetings and trips and they'll like almost rub it in my face about all the fun stuff. We have a skiing/tubing trip coming up and I can't go but I don't want to anyways because my mom got in a skiing accident (she's okay now it was when she was 17) so I'm kind of afraid and I asked them but neither will go tubing with me. I really don't know what to do because I've been friends with them since we were 2. Please help.

Anorexity??

2008-01-12T12:12:00.000-05:00

Dear iStudents,

I have this really good friend. But there's one problem. I think she might be anorexic. This person always throws her food away or she tries to feed it to me and some of our other friends. She freaks out about calories and got one of my friends really mad because she freaked when this other person was eating bacon. Everytime I see this friend they look skinnier. I don't know what to do, because if I tell she might get mad at me for revealing her "secret," or if she's not anorexic I'll feel really bad for being suspicious. What should I do?

Help! One of my best friends moved away! She was the only friend I had that wasn't a total tomboy, now she's gone. I keep trying to make new friends, but none of them can make up for the emptiness in my life. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's absolutely true. PLease help!

PLEASE HELP!

2008-01-06T19:13:00.000-05:00

I really like my boyfriend, but I'm always really shy around him. I wish I could just go up and talk to him, but for some reason, I don't. I think it's because I don't have anything to talk to him about, but I'm not sure. It's really wierd because I have lots of guy friends; I just can't talk to HIM. What do I do? I want to talk to him, but his friends are always with him. Please help!!

I feel fat

2008-01-06T12:33:00.000-05:00

I always feel fat at school. Everyone around me is super skinny and then there I am all big. I feel really self conscious about my weight and middle school is the time to enjoy myself. What should I do?

Fatty

My Advice:
First thing is that you should never call yourself fat. Its just degrading and it will only make you feel worse about your weight. Ask your friends not to bring up the subject of your weight. Tell yourself that even though you might be heavier than other people at school that you are still a great person. Also if you really want to be skinny, stop complaining about being fat and go on a diet. Go out and exercise. Eat healthy foods. Tell your parents about your decision to lose weight and ask them to pay more attention to what they cook and buy. You can even get you whole family into the whole weight loss idea. People tend to lose more weight if they have people to lose weight with. They are more motivated. The first step to feeling better about your weight is accepting the way you look. It’s you and what really matters is what is on the inside. Something that can also work is put a picture of someone skinny from a magazine and put that on your refrigerator. That way whenever you go to get something to eat you look at that picture and think maybe I should choose something healthier. Also don’t weigh yourself everyday. Try once a week. If you weigh yourself everyday you don’t see as much change from day to day as you would see from week to week. If you don’t see very much weight loss you'll get less motivated. So go and lose weight but also accept yourself.

Procrastinator

2008-01-04T20:12:00.000-05:00

I'm a huge procrastinator and I used to be able to get by in school even though I would procrastinate. Now this year we have a ton of homework nightly and if I put my projects off then I end up staying up until midnight trying to finish. What should I do?

Procrastinator

My Advice:
I agree that this year we have a lot more homework than last year. The teachers tend to give us notice about things that will be more time consuming than everyday homework. When the teacher tells you about a big project that you have a few weeks to work on don’t start working on it the week before it’s due. Begin to work on it the day that it’s assigned. Make a schedule of when you'll do what when. You can give yourself more work on days that you have more free time. Start off with the easy stuff like printing off some things from the internet or highlighting important facts. As you get closer to the due date make each days work more time consuming. Also for a huge project try to finish a day or two before it’s due. That way you can fix any problems that it has and you won’t be cramming hours of work the night before its due and wishing you'd started earlier. Then when everyone is complaining about having to finish their projects you can relax and do what ever you want.

PLEASE HELP

Friend Troubles

2008-01-03T15:28:00.000-05:00

I'm dating this guy and my bff and i talk about him a lot. She wil jokingly say somethinjg like,"He is sooooo hot, can i have him when he dumps you?" and we laugh about it but i can tell that she really likes him. She seems hurt that he's going out with me instead of her. I dont want to break up with my boyfriend just because my bff likes him but at the same time i dont want for my bff to be sad. What should I do???

Troubled Gf/Bff

My Advice:
If you break up with your boyfriend just so that your friend will have him then you'll end up being in the same posision as her. Dont ever let a guy come between a friendship. You should ask your friend about how she feels. Also try not to talk about your boyfriend around her as much. Its clearly hurting her to see you with him and so if you dont talk about it as much she wont feel so bad.

Desperate

2008-01-02T19:04:00.000-05:00

I'm single and i really want a boyfriend. I really dont care who as long as its not a nerd. I just wish that someone would ask me out. I know I sound really desperate just because I pretty much am. What should I do???????

From Desperate

My Advice:
You do seen desperate (no offense). You seem to like the idea of a boyfriend rather than actually likeing someone. You could just wait for someone to ask you out (its bound to happen sometime) or figure out who you like and ask them out. also dont get too upset about not having a boyfriend. In the 7th grade(or wat evr grade you'r in) you dont really need one yet. also calm down about not having a bf or gf(i cant tell from u'r message) try flirting w/ ppl. c where it goes. but dont seem desperate cuz that just looks pathetic 2 any1. all i can do is wish u the best of luck

~Laffattck~

Something Different

2008-01-01T18:40:00.000-05:00

I'm gonna try something different this time. I will post a problem and then you all can post a comment to give your opinion or give advice!

1.I'm really into this guy. We've been friends for a long time, but recently I started crushing on him. I really do not know what to do because I don't want to risk our friendship or make him feel weird or anything. Also, I know for a fact that he likes someone else. On the other hand, I'd really like to tell him, I just don't know how. This is a very frustrating and confusing situation.
Help!

-Crushed by a crush

[Note from Silly: This will sort of be like the Dear Abby part of the CWC. This problem was SENT IN. I repeat, SENT IN! Another word from me, any comments regarding whether or not BananaThirteen is Sofia, Kate, Shannon, anyone from the 7th grade, will be deleted. I am getting very fed up with those comments, because I have said that she is not in our grade already. I don't mean to sound mean, but this is very annoying. You can continue to have theories, but if you name someone in the 7th grade, you will be wrong. There's no point wasting our time so that we have to go on and on about whether or not she is (insert name here). Thank you.]

2.I have a prob I hope you can help me with. I really like my BFF as more than a friend, we've been friends for 3 years, so I finally told him, but he doesn't like me like that. So now I really need to get over him, but I don't know how, so, what should I do?

2007-12-21T18:11:00.000-05:00

1.Theres this girl in my class who is well perfect! And the only difference between us is that she is taller by 2 inches. And she likes the Dolphins. And today she smiled and winked at me a plus she said have a Merry Christmas! And I was the only she said it to! Shes in my class for 3 periods. History, Pre Algebra, and Science. But in pre algebra theres this guy who is making these terrible jokes and tries to make it with her! But I dont think she likes him. So what should I do? Tell her I like her, but if that fails what next have my reputation ruined I cant do that! So please tell me what to do! I mean why wouldnt she like me: Im very strong and athletic Im smart Im charming Im sweet Im very good looking I have medium dirty blonde hair Im funny A girl would be very lucky if I liked her!

My advice:
get a friend to ask if she likes you, just have them say "What do you think of so-and-so" but put your name instead of so-and-so. IF she does then ask her out! it can't hurt to ask.

2.My 2 best friends in the whole world wont quit fighting over silly things, like who has dated more guys and who is prettier..wat do i do??

My advice: Talk to them and tell them how you feel.Tell them that it is hurting you that they can't get along, hopefully they will see that they are hurting you, maybe they don't see that it's affecting you. Good luck!

3.Christmas is coming very soon......4 days, but I still have no clue what to give my GF! She gave me an amazing gift , and I'm afraid anything I give her won't be good enough for her.

My Advice:
Well, it's great that you care so much about her, keep in mind that christmas isn't about giving expensive gifts, it's about love. obviously you love her so anything you give her will be special.So, I suggest chocolate or just a simple candy cane and a hug. Just show her you care and she will be the luckiest girl ever!

4.I still beleive in Santa Claus, but all my friends tease me because of it. What should I do?

My Advice:
Don't let it get to you. You can believe whatever you want to. Don't worry about what others think, always stay true to yourself!

Eating Habits

2007-12-21T13:28:00.000-05:00

This here is an open invitation for viewers to discuss weight. It's such a touchy subject, but it's very important. What do you think is a healthy weight? What do you think about obesity? Anorexia and Bulimia? Do you know any people who struggle with their weight in one way or another? Do you personally?

Crush

2007-12-18T18:07:00.000-05:00

My problem is that I have a crush on this guy and we go to church together. After church we go to the swing and sit down and talk 'till it's time to go home. He would ALWAYS flirt with me and act like he likes me, and I asked one of my friends to see if he likes me and he said no. Now for about 3-4 weeks he hasn't flirted with me, sat by me, or even talked to me, but then last night at church he started flirting with me again. Does that mean he likes me or is he just leading me on? We've been friends since I was 3 and I've had a really bad crush on him. My friend told him I liked him and he started flirting with me even more after she told him.
-Church Chick

My advice:
It sounds like he likes you. If you really like him then.....go for it! You sound like you're crazy for you, so, good luck!

Advice

2007-12-16T20:54:00.000-05:00

I hope you can help. My BFF is really nice, but she gets really annoying sometimes. Like during class, she starts poking me saying junk like, 'guess what,' and I will say, ' what,' and she will say, 'now, you know.' Or she will poke me saying, 'Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate,' and when I say, 'what,' she will say, 'hi.' And whenever my crush came up to me, I said hi, and she said, can she have a picture of you to put in her locket, and she pointed at the locket I was wearing, and I punched her in the gut and ran away. PLEASE HELP!!
-Friendly Foe

My advice:
Talk to her. Tell her to stop. If she doesn't then she's so not worth it! She doesn't sound worthy to be your friend. If you do decide to ditch her, don't worry, you'll make new, better friends, fast!

Silly's Advice:

Do NOT decide to ditch her. That's never the best way to solve anything. Don't punch her either. Violence is not the answer. Just because you can make new friends doesn't mean that you have to leave her. If she's really getting on your nerves that much, just have a heart-to-heart talk with her. Hope it works out!

A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift .

A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace. And makes the world we live in a better and happier place.

There is a miracle called friendship, that dwells in the heart. You do not know how it happens or when it gets it's start.

But you know the special lift it always brings. You r ealize that friendship is the world's most precious gift!

Remember, everyone needs a friend, if someday you feel like you have NO friends, remember this.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend, if someday you feel like you have NO friends, remember this card. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

Dances

2007-12-03T19:01:00.000-05:00

Most schools have them, some hate them, some love them. But truthfully we all have to live with them. Here's my advice for:

People who like the dance:
Good for you! Dances can be really fun, (except for the lame ones) and they're a great way to socialize with friends. And if you love to dance, that's just a bonus!

People who don't like the dance:
That's okay, not everyone does. But if you'd like to try going to a dance, then go for it! If you're more comfortable going with friends, then do! Dances are a great way to make new friends and maybe, actually dance! (LOL)

Dreams

2007-12-02T20:02:00.001-05:00

I had a really strange dream, but I'm very much afraid that it could come true. My dream was that my BFF that I like as more was kissing this girl at school. But I confronted my friend about this and he was offended that I thought he would do that. He assured me that could never happened since he only liked that girl as a friend.I'm really scared that it could come true! Please help!

- Dorky Dreamer

Dear Dorky Dreamer,
The most important thing to remember is that it was a dream. There's only a 50% chance that your dream will ever come true. Your friend has told you he'd never let that happen, so sometimes you just have to trust him. Good luck with your friend!

Friends..or more?

2007-12-02T19:40:00.000-05:00

I have this friend, she's been my friend for 3 years and we have so much fun together. We joke around alot and we're all like "I love you" but just joking as friends. Once she told me she actually meant it, I thought she was joking so I just forgot about it. A few days ago she told me she felt neglected since I spend so much time with my other friends. Yesterday I told her about my new GF. She was so crushed (mostly because my new GF has the same name as my friend). I told her I'm sorry, but I don't know what else to do. I want to be friends with her, but I love my GF. What should I do? -Confuzzled Friend

Dear Confuzzled Friend,
I've been in a similar situation before, so I can relate. My advice is to tell your friend you're sorry, but you like your new GF and she can't make you break up with her. Tell your friend that you like her, but only as a friend, for now.

Relationship Hints

2007-11-30T16:34:00.000-05:00

Ok, there has been WAAAAAAAAAAY too many posts on what to do for girlfriends or girl crushes. It's kind of sexist. So, I'm posting on what to do for boyfriends or boys you have crushes on. [Note from Silly: Some of these will work for girls.]

-1. Boys are not as graceful as girls. If they accidentally do something like stepping on your foot, make sure they know you know it was an accident and you're ok.

-2. This is a BIGGIE. Traditionally, boys ask girls out and boys are the "rudders" or "steering wheel" for a relationship. Every boy wishes his girlfriend or, if they're single, some girl they like(or who likes them) to ask THEM out (Or to "steer" the relationship). It reassures us, that they like being with us, too, not just the other way around.

-3. Ok, this is going to sound kinda perverted, but it's not intended that way. Just physically reach out and touch them. I DON'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just hold thier hand or give them a hug, lay your head on their chest, or if you're nervous, fall and have them help you up, or stumble into them. Even putting your hands over their eyes and yelling "GUESS WHO!" works. You can go further - kiss - but I'm not endorsing it. (Thats not saying I don't reccomend it, though.)

-4. Just go up and talk to them. It REALLY helps.

-5. IM, email, call, whatever them whenever you have time.

-6. If they go home sick, call and see if they're OK.

-7. Be creative! For example, for Christmas or their birthday, if you can't think of anything else, get them something thats a joke. (Like a staple gun!)

-8. Have memorable dates. (i.e. Don't always do a restaurant and a movie. Even better would be the festival of lights, the fair, or something else that isn't always there, something special.)

-9. Leave them cute notes.

-10. A big one, if you mention physique once, don't mention it again for a while, if they're a good boyfriend, they'll start trying to change it. And if they don't, it doesn't mean they're a bad boyfriend. It simply means they are an intellectual - nerd - or a sports jock and can't or don't want to change it. All you have to do is accept them.

-11. Tease them and let them tease you back.

-12. Ask them for their opinion on things.

-13. Help them with problems.

-14. If they look troubled, ask them whats wrong. If they say, "Nothing," without an, "I'm just tired," or something, its personal or they're trying to seem strong for you.

-15. Mess with their hair, let them touch your hair.

-16. Just be caring, tell them you're lucky to be their girlfriend, or whatever, make them feel special.

The Perfect Boyfriend

2007-11-27T17:26:00.001-05:00

Every girl's dream since they were a little girl is that one day she will find a guy that does these things for her. Even the smallest action can have the BIGGEST impact in someones life.

give her one of your t-shirts to sleep in
give her one of your hoodies to wear so everyone knows she's yours
leave her cute text/notes
tell her she looks beautiful
look into her eyes when you talk to her
let her mess with your hair
touch her hair
just walk around with her
forgive HER for HER mistakes
look at her like she's the only girl you see
tickle her even when she says stop
when she starts swearing at you, tell her you love her
let her fall asleep in your arms
get her mad, then kiss her
stay on the phone with her even if shes not saying anything
tease her and let her tease you back
stay up all night with her when she's sick
watch her favorite movie with her
let her wear your clothes
when she's sad, hang out with her
let her know she's important
kiss her in the pouring rain
when you fall in love with her, tell her
and when you tell her, love her like you've never loved someone before
and when she runs up at you crying... the first thing you say is..."who's *** am I beating today?"

Christmas Disaster

2007-11-25T19:09:00.000-05:00

I'm getting a present for my boyfriend and, well, it's not that I don'thave the money... It's that I know what he's getting me, and it's reallyextravagant and I want to get him something big too. It's just how am Isupposed to buy the presents without my parents stopping me and sayingthat it's too much? Or that I shouldn't get him anything at all?
-- Christmas Shopper

If you he gets you something and you don't get him anything then it willbe embarrassing. I suggest that you buy him something thats not cheaplike a card but not anything to expensive. You donut want to look cheapbut getting him something huge might just be a little too much.

The Sweetest Boy Ever

2007-11-22T14:33:00.001-05:00

- Girl: I love you.
- Boy: Yeah, I know. Everyone does!
- Girl: Really?
- Boy: Yeah... everyone of my friends that are girls tell me that everyday.
- Girl: Oh... but am I only your friend?
- Boy: No... you're my girlfriend... why?
- Girl: Because, when I say I love you, I really do mean it.
- Boy: Yeah, I know you do mean it... it's just that you don't need to tell me that you love me anymore because I've known you loved me since the day we been together and I love you more each and everyday.
- Girl: ......
- Boy: So wanna go somewhere tonight for our 7th anniversary?
- Girl: Yeah... where?
- Boy: I dont know... maybe movie then dinner?
- Girl: Ok.
- Boy: I'll pick you up after I get off and get ready ok?

- Boy: In 2 hours and then I gotta go home and yeah get ready which takes about 15-20 minutes...
- Girl: Aye... I thought you didnt have work today...
- Boy: One of my co-workers called in sick.
- Girl: Oh, okay. So I'll see you around 7:30 then?
- Boy: Yeah! And babe?
- Girl: Yeah?
- Boy: I love you.
- Girl: I love you, too.
- Boy: Ok my manager is like looking at me, so, yeah.... I gotta go.
- Girl: Ok. Bye.

2 hours later... The guy drives to his girlfriends house and walks up to the door and rings the doorbell.

- Boy: Wassup... you ready?
- Girl: Um... wait... let me get my bag and we can go ok?

- Girl: Why??!
- Boy: Its a suprise.
- Girl: What kind of suprise?
- Boy: A big one.
- Girl: Okay but only if you promise me that you will hold my hand while we're driving.

Cunfuzzled Persona

2007-11-18T13:14:00.000-05:00

I this guy that I'm going out with but my friends totally don't approve. My friends and i have been getting into big arguments because they really don't like this guy. I don't think that they see how great of a guy he is. I also don't know if they're telling the truth and he just acts nice when i'm around. Please help.

~Cunfuzzled persona

My Advice:
Always trust your friends. Confront your boyfriend and tell him what your friends said. Your boyfriend should respect your friends and realize that even though he's only dating you your friends are part of the picture. If he is being mean to your friends then tell him to stop and that its upsetting you. Also tell your friends how much you like him and why. They might like him more. If your friends continue to dislike your boyfriend then try not to mention him when they are around. If it gets down to it dump the guy if your friends begin to dislike you because your dating the guy. No guy should cause you to lose your friends.

Lokcer Troubles

2007-11-14T19:22:00.000-05:00

My locker just wont open. No matter what I do I have to like get a teacher to constantly open it for me. Its not only embarrassing but also I barely ever have free time to hang out at my locker. What should I do?

My Advice
I would try and push at the top middle and bottom of your door( on the side that doesn't have the locker hinges)
i learned this from Mrs. Hamilton. Also if your problem continues then ask to move to another locker. As simple as that.

2007-11-11T09:16:00.000-05:00

Problem

Right now I'm not sure who I like, but I think I like one of my good guy friends. The other person I think I might like is another one of my guy friends. I don't want to mess up my friendship with either one of them but I think I want to go out with the one that I think I like. I am pretty sure that the one that I like likes me. I don't know if I should go out with him because I really like our friendship. What should I do?

--GuyProb911

MY Advice

Well, it's obvious that you've got one of those everyday problems, which is a good thing, meaning more people will be able to relate. My advice is to see if any one of them shows interest in you. If you think both like you, then just go with guy friend number one. The other guy friend should be okay with it, and will understand if you're good enough friends. But then if only one of the guys shows interest in you, then go with him.

Teehee.. I don't have much experience in this area... Maybe you guys can help her out MORE than me.

2007-11-09T20:02:00.000-05:00

I recently found out that my friend likes my crush and that my crush likes my friend. I think that I should be upset about that but I found myself telling her to ask him out. What should I do? I like this guy and I don't want my friend to go out with him but at the same time I want my friend to be happy.

Cunfuzzled

My Advice:
I think that the reason that you are encouraging her to go out with him is because you realized that this friend is more important than the guy. If he goes out with her its not the end of the world, there are millions of other guys out there. Besides I'll bet seeing your friend happy is way better than going out with this guy. Always choose your friends over some guy, even if you really like him.

Embarrassed GF

2007-11-07T20:03:00.000-05:00

I have a boyfriend and we've been going out for a while now. The problem is that I still have trouble talking to him. He doesn't like to make the first move and I'm still embarrassed to even hold a conversation with him. There's this event coming up and I really want to ask him if he'll go with me, what should I do?

Embarrassed GF

My Advice:
You don't need to be embarrassed. This guy knows that you like him. You're over that stage. He just wants to talk to you. He won't care if you say something stupid. He'll probably think that its cute. If he didn't actually like you then you two wouldn't still be going out. Just try and talk to him about anything. School, the weather, news, your friends, anything to get the two of you talking. Talk to him more and you'll get over the whole embarrassment thing. When you talk to him drop hints about the dance like, "Did you hear there's a dance coming up?" Try this and hopefully it will get you over this whole embarrassment thing.

More Than A Friend

2007-11-07T19:56:00.000-05:00

I have many friends that are s and one of them I think of as more than just a friend. I really like her but I don't want to ruin our relationship. What should I do?!

?!?!?!?!?!?person

My Advice:
I've had the same problem before where I've liked some of my guy friends. Its totally normal. You probably like this because you and her have become so close that you've realized how great she is. I would just take it slow. Don't rush. Also she might feel the same way about you. If you to are really close it just might work out. Hang in there.

~Laffattack~

Speechless

2007-11-07T19:47:00.000-05:00

I really like this girl but every time I go up to her I say something stupid. She thinks that it's funny but I want her to think of me as more than a funny guy. Help!

Speechless

My Idea:
Try practicing what you are going to say before you say it. Hang out with her more and get more comfortable around her. You're probably just nervous about talking to her. Also its ok to be funny around a girl. [Note from Silly: We love it when a guy makes us laugh! =] ]A sense of humor is a good thing. Just try to practice what your going to say on your friends, although I would warn them before talking to them the way you would talk to this .

One Rude Attitude

2007-11-06T19:33:00.000-05:00

There is this girl who is friends with my friend, but she really hates me. I've tried all I can do to be friends with her, but she still hates me. What should I do?
~Hopeful Person

Here's my advice:
I've had this problem before, so I know what you should do.Sometimes there are people in our life that are friends with our friends. We don't always have to be friends with everyone. If you've tried to be her friend, just be nice to her,she might be annoyed that you're trying so hard. Hang back, be nice, but not in her face. If you two are meant to be friends it will happen naturally. If not, then just accept it.
----SuzieQ

Same Guy

2007-11-06T17:45:00.000-05:00

Problem:
I like the same guy as my Best Friend. She's been my best friend for a while now and i don't want to lose our friendship. The thing is this guy is really cool and i really like him. What should i do? I like my friend but I also really like this guy.
HELP!!!!!

Confuzzled Person

My Ideas:
1. You stop liking the guy. Never let a guy harm your friendship.
2. Tell your friend how you feel. Also tell her that you won't mind if her and this guy go out as long as she doesn't mind if its the same for you.
3. Decide which is more important, a boy who you'll only sit at lunch with for 2 weeks or a friend who will be there for you when you and him break up? Always choose friends over a guy.(unless you to have been going out forever). Friends can talk to you about things that a guy will never understand.
4. If you really like this guy decide how good of a friend this friend is. Should you go out with this guy? If the friend was a good friend though she would support you in whatever you do. She has everyright to get upset but give her time, if she's a true friend she'll end up being happy for you.

Readers:
See if you have any ideas on how to help, in case this problem ever occurs to you or your friends!
