Ryan

This annoying woman in town worked with my mother when she was pregnant with me, and a few years ago, gave her baby my first & middle name. This would be far less annoying if she didn't shout, "Hi, RYAN ELIZABETH!" at the top of her lungs every time she saw me. I've considered calling her out about it, but I don't want to seem immature. What should I do?

I've liked my friend for awhile, and now a new friend is taking all our time together away. I really want to tell them how I feel before it's too late. Any ideas? I don't want to come on too strong.

A few weeks ago, I started noticing my parents getting into fights more and more often. Somedays they hardly talk. Then, one night after a particularly nasty fight, my dad punched the wall and drove off in a huff. He returned a few hours after. Today, my mom purchased a book titled "An Idiot's Guide to Surviving Divorce". I asked her about it, and she simply said that it was 'for her and my father'. Advice?

I'm going to a corn maze with my best friend (who I also have a crush on) and I was wordering if there were any games or anything like that to do whilst careening through the maze. Any cute/romantic suggestions appreciated.

Ok, so, this is a little complicated. I'm madly in love with my best friend. She is beautiful, smart, and funny as hell. We are both in junior high, so we (especially me) don't have a lot of romantic experience. One day we were joking around about a book series in which a lesbian girl is in love with one of her friends, and my friend said very seriously: "Well, I'm NOT gay!" I knew she wasn't gay beforehand, but it just hurt so much more hearing t straight-up. Help? Thanks.

I want to exercise more, but when I get home from school, I'm always exhausted. Is this because of my diet? What can I do about this? Thanks!

Translation? It's from Pirates of the Carribean, if that helps.

Ok, so my boyfriend's birthday is coming up in about a month, and I have no gift ideas. He always gets me nice stuff and I always feel like my gift is, well, sh*t. He is turning 14. Ideas? Thanks.
