It sounds like your mom wants to be a part of your life, but you two are getting your signals crossed. Let her know that a relationship with her is important to you but that you two need to work on how you communicate. Don’t assume she doesn’t have an interest in your problems. Instead, tell her how it makes you feel when she responds that way. When she tells you to get over stuff, that’s probably just her way of dealing. People have different ways of approaching problems—some choose to forget and move on, while others like to talk out issues. Let her know that you don’t necessarily expect her to fix everything for you—you just want her to lend an ear.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD my mom says im too old to have a b-day party im turning 14 but i want to have one not but a more mature one SOME of my friends still have them any ideas on b-day party's? and how to convince my mom i also think it might be partially due to the fact that my parents divorced and with garduation confirmation my b-day and my D.C. trip we are a little tight on money because she would also like to buy a house this summer (possibly) and did i mention i have a twin brother who has C.D.L.S.? a little help here and if im being too selfish go a head and say so. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! THANX! SOOOO MUCH (SORRY IT'S SO LONG)
Maybe you can ask to have a dance-like party at your house and the only thing your mom would have to buy is like chips and drinks. See what your mom thinks, if she still doesn't agree, don't stress, there will be more birthdays. Make the best of this one...Renee

MOD Hey, Me and my two exbestfriends, well of course aren't friends anymore. So i flirt with their boyfriends behind their backs. And their boyfriends flirt back. What should i do?
Hey girl! Thats a sticky situation! If you want to be friends again with those girls, you might not want to go for their boyfriends. And because they're still dating them, they're pretty much off limits. Maybe ignore the whole group until things settle down and then you won't upset anyone by accident! --Avery

carly7 on 5/15/2008 2:05:39 PM
no idea what C.D.L.S. is!
carly7 on 5/15/2008 2:08:31 PM
I have this buddy in my class and one day she asked me if I wanted to hang at her house sometime. I said that would be fun. I was pretty happy that she really wanted to be my friend. The next day some popular boy asks her out. She says YES. Most of the boys at my school like a girl if they're pretty or popular. But her new bf likes her for HER. And so now I have a major crush on him. Is there any way I can win his heart but still have a new friend? Please please PLEASE Help me!!!
girlnextdoor123 on 5/15/2008 2:17:47 PM
carly7 if this guy keeps doing this to you its sexual harrasment. You should report him to an adult if he keeps going because it is just plain wrong.
Notlikethem on 5/15/2008 2:23:47 PM
girlnext door like ur name and just give it some time if its meant to be it will happen if it isnt it wont good luck!!!

i understand........
prettycatholicgirl11 on 5/15/2008 3:07:39 PM
Carly7 -- You should definitely talk to your parents, teachers, and school counselors about what this guy is doing. Especially if you told him to stop and he didn't! Let this stop before it goes too far -- Good luck! xoxo
ShopperSoccerGurl on 5/15/2008 3:15:12 PM
girl nextdoor, get a good relationship with the friend and talk 2 her about it.

mod me and my freinds want to try out for the cheer squad. i asked my mom, and she said she couldnt picture me as "the cheerleading type" also, im not very popular (and i hope that this would help me spread out) in school, and im afraid that if i try out, and dont make it all the popular people will make fun of me. and i have trouble tumbling, and my toe touches are good but need to be higher. any advice?
hey girl!
Dont worry about what other people will say, if you want to try out for cheerleading because it is something you are interested in, then go right ahead. If you dont try out you might end up regretting it, so give it a shot and try out.

I want to try out for cheerleading next year but I'm not in the best shape, I can't do flips (unless on a trampoline)or hand stands. I can do cartwheels (duh anyone can do that) and splits both ways. Should I try out? If I should how could I pull it off???
jnk1219 on 5/15/2008 4:18:27 PM
----Mod???? ---- how can i tell my mom that i want tampons not pads? pads make you leak sometimes! its annoying!! but she always buys pads :/.

puppylover90 on 5/15/2008 5:04:44 PM
*****MOD***** Ok, so there is this guy I REAllY like, but he doesn't seem to like me. I mean he makes me laugh and he is really nice. He also tries to givve hugs and keeps reminding us (I see him at my friends church small group) that he doesn't have a gf, but I just get that feeling he likes my friend, not me. Which makes me RRRREEEEAaAALLLYYY , cause she doesn't like him. What should do? I kinda want him to know i like him. (cause I try to ignore him to try to seem not so obvious. But I think it hurts him ) Help!!
You should tell your guy how you feel, because if you dont then how is he supposed to know. Try hanging out and talking to him more, so he knows how you feel without you having to say it, if you dont want to.

****MOD**** MOD, my 8th Grade Continuation is coming up! I already have a dress (black with red trim at the knee) but I don't know how I should do my hair. What do you think would be good? Just FYI, my hair is long, dark, and thick. It also is naturally wavy/sometimes curly, and I straighten it all the time so that's pretty much off limits. =/ Any suggestions? Thanks!
Try curling your hair, or getting a half up half down do. Look in magazines and at pictures to try find a style that you like!
NanaChan on 5/15/2008 5:33:05 PM

YOu can do little things to show him you like him, or just talk to him and tell him how you feel.

For those of us wondering what C.D.L.S is heres a shortish explanation i got off of the C.D.L.S USA foundation website: How is CdLS recognized? CdLS is a congenital syndrome, meaning it is present from birth. Most of the signs and symptoms may be recognized at birth or shortly thereafter. A child need not demonstrate each and every sign or symptom for the diagnosis to be made. As with other syndromes, individuals with CdLS strongly resemble one another. Common characteristics include: low birthweight (often under five pounds), slow growth and small stature, and small head size (microcephaly). Typical facial features include thin eyebrows which frequently meet at midline (synophrys), long eyelashes, short upturned nose and thin, downturned lips. Other frequent findings include excessive body hair (hirsutism), small hands and feet, partial joining of the second and third toes, incurved fifth fingers, gastroesophageal reflux, seizures, heart defects, cleft palate, bowel abnormalities, feeding difficulties, and developmental delay. Limb differences, including missing limbs or portions of limbs, usually fingers, hands or forearms, are also found in some individuals.

sportygirl23 on 5/15/2008 6:24:56 PM
MOD- I have been sick the last two days because I have had a really, really bad cold. I emailed all my school friends about it yesterday. But one of my "friends" (we'll call her S) sent me an email saying "I know you weren't at school today. It was quiet and peaceful." I know I'm talkative, but it shouldn't be "peaceful" when I'm not there. So then I email S back about this and I said (sarcastically) "Thanks, S, that makes me feel loads better." She sent me another email saying, "I don't care. Ha ha, you missed out on two days of choir parties in a row. And we didn't have to watch a stupid movie this time." This just got me extremely mad. Not only was she rubbing the parties in my face, but she also didn't seem to be the least bit sensitive to the fact that I was sick. So then I emailed her saying "S, seriously, I am NOT in the mood for in-my-face humanity. Plus, I don't care whether or not you watched a stupid movie. Now, please don't bug me with this kind of thing unless you have something nice to say about it, because I am seriously sick right now and I really don't want to hear how 'great' the choir parties were." Then she emailed me back saying "Ha ha. You are spam now, you meanie." I don't exactly get how I was the one being mean. The way I see it, S was the one being mean by rubbing all of this in my face while I was sick and saying that it was better at school when I wasn't there. Should I keep talking to S? What should I do about her?
YOu need to talk to her and tell her that what she said was not ok. If she doesnt want to listen to you then maybe you need to take a break from her for a little while until she realizes that she was wrong.

MOD how's your day?!
hey girl! it's been pretty good, enjoying the sunshine!! --Avery
prettycatholicgirl11 on 5/15/2008 7:12:50 PM
**MOD** how can i ask my crush out?
hey girl! i always like to start by talking to them and finding out if we have anything in common. for instance, if he's in the same class as you, you might bring that up in a conversation. from there you can casually ask him if he wants to hang out. if you're especially nervous, make it a group thing! i hope that gets the ball rolling --Avery
-band-geek- on 5/15/2008 7:14:16 PM
good night!
prettycatholicgirl11 on 5/15/2008 7:17:54 PM
mod or anyone ok so i am having a sleepover all girls and need ideas of what to do since it will be hot out
hey girl! you can do tons out outside activities since it'll be nice weather: lounging around getting tan, frisbee, roller blading etc. at night you could make smores too if your parents will be around. hope that helps! --Avery
sooboolotnes205 on 5/15/2008 8:10:03 PM
I don't know how I would deal with that. I think that mom sounds like a jerk!
liagibaa on 5/15/2008 8:12:15 PM
***MOD*** Kay so i REALLY like this guy. there are a few probs: he's a year older, goes 2 a different school and we wont go 2 school 2gether 4 2 more years, hes my mom's friends son and shes forbidden me from seeing him for NO reason (ive talked 2 her bout it and shes just like idk...), and appearanly hes not into GFs yet. HELLLP! i dont even kno if i want to be his gf i just want to be his friend first.
hey girl! thats tough if his mom says you cant see him because then whenever you'd be over there it would be really awkward. i dont think that the fact that he's a year older is a super big problem, but it would also be really hard because you don't go to the same school. try being his friend first so maybe his mom will warm up to you and then see where it goes. --Avery
Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:39:44 PM
:::MOD::: my mom doesnt approve of tanning cuz it can cause skin cancer so i was wondering if u knew of any good self tanning spray things?
Hey girl! I really like jergens natural glow because it doesn't look too orange, but check out the different stuff at the store to compare! Good luck!
--Avery
Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:45:09 PM
Hey chica (lovleylady) I have had the same thing happen to me and u r NOT pathetic. try to find something to distract you and see if that works. also DO NOT flirt with him!!! that is being a bad friend. hes off limits, keep reminding yourself that. hope that this helps even a little. xoxo Dancin Devil
Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:49:25 PM
Avery, his mom's not the prob, in fact shes been trying 2 set us up 4 YEARS! no its my mamma.
Oh sorry! Well in that case, try talking to her about it and maybe it'll change her mind. Just be really open to her thoughts and feelings about the situation and try to show her that you're responsible and can handle dating
Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:50:58 PM
Thanks Avery! So how has your day been?? I had tests today... ick.
Its been pretty good. I enjoyed the nice weather and got to study outside I have tests tomorrow....no fun!
Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 8:54:25 PM
Im sorry. tests are not fun.
Dancing_Devil on 5/15/2008 9:02:07 PM
MODDD!!! i popped a pimple last week and the scar is not fading. well it sorta is but not really! plz help!
Oh no! This is why you shouldn't pick at your skin! Try some scar-fading products like Curad Scar Therapy Cosmetic Pads, about $12, or a similar product. Wear it all the time for the best and quickest results. And next time, NO PICKING! Use an acne solution and your face will clear up on its own. xoxo, Abbie
Chocochipz123 on 5/16/2008 7:46:57 AM
carly7, this guy is extremely perverted. that is sexual harassment and you can get in a LOT of trouble for it. what he is doing is very disgusting and wrong. for this you should ask your parents for help. they can help you figure out what to do. no girl should have to put up with something like this.
londongirl12 on 5/16/2008 8:21:51 AM
***puppylover90******** I had probs with stretching but, i found some ways 2 get better 1) EVERY night ( well u know not EVERY night but try) do some strtches like reaching 4 ur toes wile siting down (and remember 2 relax! it seriously helps!) 2) try doing some running! and stretch before so its easier 2 run and u don't pull someting. try doing sretches a little bit every day! if u do that u'll be the most flexible in ur squad!!! xoxoxxoxo itsallgood!
