There's a guy in my class named Seth. I totally have a crush on him. But he is so mean to me. He pushes me, and I start to cry! I don't mind, because my friends are there to help me. What should I do?
I know you feel like it's okay that this boy pushes you because you have good friends around to help you, but it's not acceptable for him to push you. It's mean and disrespectful of him to physically hurt you. If a boy makes you cry, that's a sign that he'll make a bad boyfriend. Take my advice and find a new boy to have a crush on. You need a boyfriend who'll give you a warm hug instead of a mean push!

My exboyfriend dumped me because he thought I was cheating on him. Now he's saying he still likes me. What if he asks me out again?
If you were cheating on your boyfriend, then he did have a good reason to break up with you. But if you weren't cheating on him, then he shouldn't have broken yp with you without getting his facts straight. IT's up to you to decide whether you want to give him another chance or not. If you miss him and would like to date him again, then give it a try. But if you think he might dump you again because of a stupid reason, then maybe you should let this one go on.

My best friend and I are both crazy about a boy. I'm blond and my friend is a brunette. He says he likes girls with red hair. If I ask him out and he says yes, my friend will be sad (and vice versa). If one of us dates the boy, it will break a ten year friendship between my friend and I. What should I do?
I think you answered your own question. Since you don't want to break up your ten year friendship, and you don't want anuone to be unhappy, you should avoid dating this boy for now. Maybe things will change in the furute. One of you might decide you'd rather date someone else and the other friend would be free to date the boy you both like(d). It's nice that you respect each other enough to not want to hurt each other's feelings. Boyfriends come and go, but friends are forever!

There is a girl I really want to be friends with who is in a different class than mine. We get together at lunchtime and recess and we talk and play. One day, a girl from my class came and told her all the embarrassing things that have happened to me, and now I don't think this girl likes me anumore. What should I do?
It sounds like the other girl was jealous of your friendship with your new friend, and that's why she revealed your embarrassing secrets. That was a mean thing to do. If you can, avoid spending time with her. She can't tell your secrets if she doesn't know them. As for your new friend, why don't you talk to her about what happened? Everyone has something embarrassing that has happened to them, and there's no reason why this girl should hold it against you. She should realize that no one's perfect and give your friendship a chance. If she can't, then maybe she wouldn't make such a good friend anyway.

It's the eve of Christmas eve today, and I STILL haven't gotten everyone on my list a present!!! What should I do???
..............................
Well, Anonymous, are you thinking homemade or store-bought? Some homemade ideas are:
1. Hot Chocolate: Buy a big tub of hot chocolate mix and put it in separate jars with instructions (preferably on red or green paper) tied to the top. Trust me, it's easy...and it's fun for the reciever!
2. Poems: Write a poem, type it, and print it out on nice paper. It's personalized for the reciever, and it's a great last-minute gift idea.
And store-bought ideas...? Candy canes, teddy bears...anything the person you're giving it to really likes!!!
Hope this helps,

Hi!I recently left my binder up on top of my locker at school and left it there overnight. My ID card was inside it, but the next day it was gone. I think someone stole it, because the pocket it was in was un-zipped. If some one did steal it, then they could use it to pay for lunch, and check out books! What should I do?
Search your locker and recheck your binder. Hopefully it'll be there. Tell the office secretary that someone stole your lunch card if it's not. They'll get you a new one and disactivate the old one so that it's not valid. Even check the lost-and-found. Don't panic. Just go through these steps and you'll be fine.

Advice to Anonymous
Anonymous said...
Hi there! On a more serious note, my locker neighbor is treting me funny, Fact is all the girls that are her freinds are acting strange to. I used to be really good friends with her, all of them to tell you the truth, but this new school year has brought around a change. I'm now barely reaching the cut off for anything. Sleepovers, birthday parties, anything important!!! They even talk about it in front of me! They aren't mean or anything, but I really feel left out. I've suffered through a whole quarter of this. HELP!!!!!
Well, Anonymous, the first thing to do is ask yourself whether or not you're still a friend of this girl. Sometimes when you feel obligated to be a person's friennd you feel that you should be nicer to that person. If this is the case, analyze your relationship with her. Does she care about your feelings? From what you've told us, she doesn't. Does she care about your opionion? Again, it doesn't sound like it. If you're 100% sure that this girl will NEVER be a good friend for you, talk to her about the situation. It's awkward, I know, but try to be casual about it. It doesn't have to be a flat-out "Why the heck are you being so mean to me, you idiot!?" or anything like that. It doesn't even have to be a "You're making me feel bad. Please stop." It can be a small remark like "What are you doing this weekend?" If what she's talking about interests you, you might be able to keep up a conversation and save your friendship. If she ignores you, tells you to shut up, or says something mean, this friendship of yours is not worth saving. If this happens, you'd be better of with a new friend. Tell a teacher if this girl is making you uncomfortable. Nobody has the right to put you down or make you feel excluded EVER, and this has been going on for a whole quarter? If talking doesn't work out, tell a parent/teacher/other close friend, or even the guidance counselor. Choose good friends...I've learned that the hard way.
