I had my guy friend over (as friends) to my house and we ended up making out on my bed(not crazy horny stuff,normal making out, just as if we were standing). We're dating now and my ex best friend and my friend (Hannah and Libby) are parading around the school calling me a typical (Neighborhood where we live) slut and a whore. Abbey had dated Oliver (my now boyfriend) for 2 1/2 months, but dating friend's ex isn't to big of a deal where I live considering the lack of choice you have in eighth grade (I'm 14 btw, Oliver is 13, nine months younger almost exactly). She's divided our "friend group" in half, she's made it very clear that either your with her or your against her. I don't particularly want to resolve the friendship, but I would like some advice on how to deal with this. Oliver and I have been going out for a month on Wednesday and I really love him a lot even though people are telling me you cant love this young or this early in a relationship and I hate hearing that because they don't know half of what's happened. All constructive answers are appreciated!

Also out of curiosity, what would I have to do with him to be considered a slut/whore? I don't want to be one, I'm just wondering...

... My best friend, Giovanna, and she's really stressed about it. On top of that my besties abbey and John broke up over the weekend and abbey is being a jealous b**** to everyone who even looks at him. John (almost immediately after he broke up with abbey) told giovanna he liked her (a lot) because abbey made gi ask. My ex, Dylan( who now also likes gi) is best friends with John and it's pretty inevitable that they are going to start fighting over her. She has been getting a lot of unwanted attention from guys lately. I'm still getting over Dylan because the relationship ended way sooner then I thought it would. He had told me it was because he wasn't ready to be in a relationship after breaking up with my friend cammy. Turns out he was lying to me- the real reason was I was his rebound and he never really liked me in the first place after I liked him for over 6 months. I kind of like someone else, Sean, who I notice looking at me in the one class we have together. I want to ask him to go see tron because we both want to see it (my birthday is today and his is Wednesday so it's a birthday treat for both of us) but I dont know if I'm enough over dylan to commit to another relationship. I also kind of had a thing for John.

So here are my questions:

What should I do to get over Dylan?

What should Giovanna do about the situation with Dylan and John?

What should Giovanna do about the unwanted attention?

What should my friends and I do about abbey being jealous?

What should I do about Sean and John?

And anything else you think is relevant...

(YES THAT IS PLURAL ON PURPOSE. Both my friend Rose and Dianna dated him in the past.)

So I have a big crush on this guy, (let's call him) George. My friend Dianna dated him for a few months (in the range of 2 1/2- 3 1/2, I wasn't keeping track) and broke up with him 2 weeks ago. My friend Rose dated him a year ago for 6 months. I've had a crush on him for a while (after Rose, before Dianna), but I kind of subdued it while they were dating.

I like him a lot and I can see why the other girls weren't right for him. Is this an okay thing to do?

We've been dating for a week and we still haven't actually gone out on a date. He constantly is always busy after school and I never get to see him on the weekends because he always busy. He keeps on talking about all these theoretical dates that we should go on with my friend and her boyfriend (who is also his friend). He has soccer and track and family and I can understand he is busy maybe one weekend, but he never seems to have time for me. We have fun and enjoy being together at school, but that's it. I'm not sure if he's to lazy to make time for me, is to busy to actually have a relationship, or just doesn't care enough.

Help?

Thanks,

I'm very deaply in love with a boy (let's call him roger- In reference to rent) who is Jewish. I am an extremely tolerant, laid-back Christian (Unitarian universalist if you want to be specific) as well as my parents so we are all completely cool with the idea but I'm not sure how his parents and family etc will react. We are both 13 but vey mature for our age. I feel like we are both mentally and emotionally mature enough to handle this.

So now to the question part... I have a few:

What should I know about the Jewish religion to make this work?

How involved religiously should we get (holiday dinners etc)?

Should this be a real issue honestly?

Any personal stories are strongly encouraged, crazy wingnuts strongly discouraged to move along and find another "Satan-loving-communist" to annoy.

Also any praise involving the fact I typed this on my iPod touch is welcome as well. : D

I was inspired by the water bottle experiment, but I made a few revisions to fit my needs:

I am going to the park and I'm going to sell water bottles for $.75 (they cost $.10), so I have a profit of $.65 per bottle.

So I am usually the one who makes breakfast and lunch (and sometimes dinner) when my mom is working on weekends. Summer break is almost here, so that means I will have to make the majority of the meals around the house, which I don't mind- I love to cook. There's one problem, my little brothers are the PICKIEST PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE! Here is their daily menu:

Breakfast:

(if anything)

granola bar/(rarely) cereal

with

juice

Lunch:

Mac N' Cheese/PB&J/(rarely) grilled cheese

(occasionally)with sliced apples

with juice

Dinner:

Chicken Nuggets (Soy)/Pizza/Pasta

with

corn

with juice

What they hate:

B1:Cooked Veggies, soy sauce, white cheese, peanut butter (in most cases), stir fry, anything mushy, non-grape jelly, white bread

B2: Most veggies except corn, soy sauce, stir fry, anything mushy, non-grape jelly, white bread

They have almost NO variation in their palate and it drives me insane because I either have to make two meals, fight with them to eat what I like, or eat plain, boring, crap.

PLEASE HELP! Please post some suggestions on how to change up their palates a bit with out to much fuss on their or my part! Recipes greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Catz

(BTW, I'm a vegetarian[have been for a year now] so all options can not have meat [dairy/eggs O.K.])

I am starting a team for relay for life and I need help with names. I want to honor my close family friend, Danette who passed away 2 1/2 years ago. She was very peaceful, so I want a name that shows that. (Something like a peaceful warrior, if you can find a synonym =P) I googled that and all I found that I liked was Peaceforce(which sounds pretty cool), but I want other options. So fill in the blank:

Danette's (synonym for peaceful fighter/warrior/solider).

I am running in June and I need to get in shape. I know it is only walking, but I want to be able to run if I want to.

I HAVE NO WAY OF DOING IT WITHOUT HIM AND I HAVE NO WAY OF CONTACTING HIM! HELP!

I asked her to name her top 5 friends because I was going to throw her a surprise party and when she sent me back the email, she didn't include my name, so I was like "Uhm, what about me?" and she said "Honestly? No.". I sonsidered her my bff and she made me feel so horribly. I dont think there is anyone who considers me as there best friend because she was really my only best friends since I moved to my school :( .

Help?

Ok:

1. Should I still throw her the party?

2. How should I respond to her saying that?

3. How can I branch out and possibly make some new friends(because she's going so well, right? haha)?

Lets call him Bob and his GF Mary.

Anyway- I just found out Bob & Mary are going out and I already developed this HUGE crush on him and I can't help liking him.

Mary is nice to me but other people say she is mean. Bob is the nicest sweetest person I have ever had a crush on and I really cant help myself!

Don't tell me to get over it cuz I cant!

Almost every guy who is even a little bit beyond nice to me I usually develop a crush on. Please provide a source.

I am partners w/ this guy in my Tech Ed class... lets call him Bob. Anyway, Bob is a very popular football player who has a few(like 3) undesirable friends(what guy doesn't though). We've been partners twice(we dont get to choose, a computer automatically generates the partners). I am tempted to ask him out(don't give me any crap about a girl asking guys out), but I always seem to be the one asking and it would be nice to have a bit of a change and have a guy ask me out. I doesn't matter a great deal... but it would be nice. One problem- I am nowhere near popular and he obviously only sees me as a friend. Thanks to all...

My dad said that they recorded in the same studio as him or the one the producer was from or something...

I'm starting 7th grade on Monday and I am flipping out!

At my school we have "teams" there are 2 teams in 7th grade and I'm on the rockets.(other team is the eagles) Basically the way it works is that the eagles & rockets each have their own set of teachers (ex. eagles has richardson, Jaclyn, and finn- rockets has opposing, luck, and Jolynn){not the real teachers

(I'm not going to use the real name for the teachers)

This year I have the really mean gym teacher this year, everyone who ever had her HATES HATES HATES her. Advise?

Also, My only girl Best Buddy is on the other team & the only time we see each other is lunch. Plus, the girl who I had a fight with over the summer is on my team and I have all of the my classes but 2 and HR with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only person who I know on my team and I always get along with is this guy Dan, who I like(A LOT). Everyone pretty much knows, they teased me so much last year saying my name with his last name every time they saw me. :(((

I only have one thing to look forward to, 2(maybe 3) nice teachers.

I have a female math teacher this year & a (supposed to be nice) lit teacher, and a ss teacher who may or may not be nice (ive heard mixed opinions)

Also I suck @ math, what are some things I can do to get ahead for the school year(online tests would be amazing!!!)

So here are my questions:

What should I do about having the mean (beyond mean) gym teacher?

What should I do about my best buddy being on another team?

What should I do about my ex- buddy being in almost all of my classes with me?

What should I do about the guy?

What should I do if they start to tease me about him?

Advice in case one teacher is mean to me for no reason?

How can I prepare my self for 7th grade learning wise? (we read the lighting thief & Stargirl, plus one other book) Math xtra help is needed :)!

Thanks!

I WILL ONLY PICK A BEST ANSWER THAT ANSWERS ALL OF MY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!

1. How do I know they're still living in the house?

Details- My mom & I drove by the house and it didn't seem at all that it had caught on fire, all of the kitchens of the houses on my street have kitchens in the back of the house and we only saw the front, so they're couldn't have been much damage as far as I can see.

2. I want to bring some food or something to help out, what should I bring?

Details- I'd like to bring some food over, but I dont know if the older woman there has any allergies or eating preferences. An older woman lived there with two middle-aged relatives who lived with her to make things easier for her. What is some food that is pretty universal and anyone would like (vegan friendly, just in case) What other items (besides money) could I bring? Books? Clothes? Ideas Please?

3. How should I conduct myself when going over there?

Details- What if they aren't home? What should I say when I get there? etc.
