I turned 15 recently and went out to dinner with 3 of my close friends I've known for about 9-10 years and as the host, I (my parents & I) paid for dinner. 2/3 friends bought me a gift, my third friend didn't even get me a card? Don't get me wrong, a gift isn't necessary but I assumed it was the polite thing to do when invited to attend a birthday celebration

I'm wanting to have a house party (to keep costs down) for my 15th birthday. Everyone invites boys to their parties nowadays and I want to as well but I don't know if I want them at my house. The weather will be warm so it'll be in my backyard. It'll be at night until late, without alcohol despite guests wanting it. I really want to hire a hall for this but I realise my 16th is just next year and I can save a hall party with a DJ and everything for then. Should I let boys come to my house? I don't know them very well.

I'be been wanting to start a YouTube channel for a long time and I've always doubted because my parents were worried about it. (I'm 14, nearly 15) I still really want to make one, should I wait until I'm older or give it a go now?

My 15th birthday is around the corner and I'm having an all girls party with no alcohol. Last year i invited 39 people and only 17 showed up. Lots of people at my school throw parties with boys + alcohol. This is the reason most people don't come to mine (because i don't provide that) I'm so scared that everyone i invie will do a no-show again!

Me & my friend are both 14. She has been my friend for mode of my life. (10 yrs) and within the past year has developed noticeable social anxiety. When I make plans with her she will avoid going in crowded places as much as possible. She will avoid other 'teenagers' and people close to her age. She is very, very self conscious and doesn't like a lot of attention. I asked her to come to the pools with me and our third friend but she said she didn't want to swim. Her reason was 'I just don't want to.' I'm guessing this equals = I don't want to show my body in public. Mind you, this day was 33 degrees so I thought to would be a fun activity. All the time when she refuses to do something in public I just say 'okay' and not push her. I'm getting a bit fed up with having to avoid things because she is afraid. I don't have many other friends myself so Its not like I'm going to throw this away. She is a lovely girl, and we have pteviously been to the beach together (2 years ago) where she didn't seem bothered by people seeing her body. She admits to me sometimes she has social anxiety but won't do anything about it. I really don't think her parents know about it. Personally, I think she needs some help. I want her to be somewhat confident again. I just don't know how to help her. What should I do?

I'm going to a theme park and my friend and I want to go on this ride that spins quite a lot towards the end, i'm afraid i'll become dizzy easily. Will closing my eyes help the dizziness?

I bought concert tickets for my and two of my friends but since there was so much demand for the tickets, we weren't able to get the best seats. They're not that bad, but they're on level 2 of a stadium a fair way back. I'm worried we won't be able to see the performers. Just the screens. Also, my friends are mad they have such bad seats and are blaming me, help?!

I've never had a phone before, I'm turning 14 this year and my parents agreed to buy me an iphone for my birthday. Since I have heard the 6 is coming out in September/October, I think I should wait for it since it is only 1-2 months away. If I buy the 5 now, it will be 'old' in 2 months when the 6 comes out. I hear the 6 is a lot bigger and better. What's your opinion?

I have a sharp tooth that has been bothering me for a while and i'm going to the dentist tomrrow to get it fixed. What would he do/use to fix it? will it be painful?

I have 3 friends out of school that are real friends.

I'm in yr8.

In school though, i don't have anyone. I've gone through many groups in my level and no-one has really bothered to notice/like me very much. At school they don't mind me being with their group but on weekends or holidays no-one will contact/text me. I'll be bored (alone) on breaks and everyone wil be together and if i say "hey can i come along?" they'll talk about me and say i invited myself. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong but they just don't want to hang out with me. I am so sick of this and idk what to do.

There's an EP i want to pre-order and it says you receive a message from the artist (pre-order only).

Is it safe to pre-order? Does the music just appear in your itunes library when it comes out?

We think he has fleas and we bought him advantage treatment. We put it on earlier today. At the time, he stopped itching as much but now he is itching just as much as before we put it on.

He also runs around the house very quickly because of them. He is probably trying to get rid of them. He itches and licks and he seems very irritated/in pain. Will the treatment work if we wait a bit longer? He seems so unhappy. Is there anything else I can do for him?

We won't be buying any other treatment in a hurry as it was quite expensive.

So she texted me sounding really desperate saying: "do you want to come over for a sleepover or can i come to yours."

I was taken by surprise by this.

Then, after i say she can probably come, she says oops sorry wrong person hahaha!

She has a friend with the same name as me and she is like best friends with this girl. She told me she meant to send it to her.

I just feel really sad now because they do everything together and they just got back from a sleepover holiday together that i found out about. I also told my parents that she wanted to come over and they said say yes but i told them i said no because i don't want to say that it wasn't even meant for me. :/

Thinking of having a sleepover for my birthday and i have quite a few friends but i'm wondering how many you think is too many? I know probably not everyone will be able to come. I'm 14 btw

I do and I love it! Also, who's your favourite out of the 4 girls Hana, Spencer, Emily & Aria? also don't spoil stuff please because I'm only up to 3 x 12

My friends say randomly "you're short" and yes I am but why do they need to point it out?

One of my dad's friends said to me: "You must be the shortest in your class, aren't you"? and yes I am but what is such a big deal? I don't like people pointing out to me that I am short. Also, people automatically think I am a lot younger since I am shorter. I am 13 and someone at a theme park said you can't go in the pool because you're under 10 years old. this made me upset. I am just under or about 5 ft i think. i am 146cm. I don't consider this something to worry about. there is also another girl I know who is shorter then me who is the same age. How can I deal with this and what can I do to feel better?

I am so pumped and excited!

I have already:

- Chosen Christmas recipes

- know what decorations i'm going to put where (i usually put them up in the first week of december)

- Listened to heaps of christmas carols!

So.....I'm soooo excited and don't know what else to do.

Any answers would be great :)

On my main computer, I have most of my purchases. If i login to my laptop with the same itunes account and buy something, it won't come up on my other computer and also, all my purchases on my main computer are not there. Can i mix both computer's purchases? Help please!

I am making a cake and the recipe is in grams. I don't own a scale so i am wondering what 135g of self-raising flour is in cups.

What is 135g in cups?
