I'm 24 and she's 16. We had met in a restaurant when her friends and my friends had gotten together (I'm not sure why but her friends are about 20+ so I believed she was 18 years or older) We've been talking for a couple months now and I feel like myself when I'm around her. Note: we haven't done anything sexual, but the legal age of consent is 16 in our state. I just feel very weird about having feelings for a girl that's 8 years younger than me. She has already established her feelings for me too and we don't know what to do.

I feel that I really like her because within the past few months she's been the backbone of me not breaking down from stress at work to just thinking about how I messed up my own life.

She's just easy to talk to and I find her to be funny and attractive at the same time.

I really want to have a relationship with her I'm just afraid of people thinking I'm a creep or something. What do I do?

We were in the car while she was driving me to school and I said "Mom, we might fight this week because I'm close to my period" because the week before my period, I'm very irritable and angry. After I said that, she immediately started yelling at me. Saying things like "Why would you plan to fight your mom?!" and screaming. I told her that I was warning her that I was feeling annoyed with everything lately, and she decides to start a fight. Being in my irritated state, I called her annoying and told her to shut up, which was a very bad move. Where she then lifted her arm to smack me and I tried to block it but accidentally hit her in the face during the process. She started screaming in pain after that but I didn't hit her hard, if I did, I would know. Her face didn't even move, so it was like I poked her in the cheek. I said sorry but she kept screaming saying things like "I've never seen a kid like this before" SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT HALF THE KIDS IN THE WORLD DOING DRUGS AND GETTING BAD GRADES AND SKIPPING SCHOOL WHILE I TRY SO HARD TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT. She then dropped me off while yelling at me as I closed the door. I ran to a locker room and cried where my team mates were there to comfort me. Fortunately, I have a solid group of friends who are always there to support me. I haven't spoken to or seen my mom in the last 24 hours, so I don't know what to do. She hasn't called, texted or anything and her room is ransacked. What do I do?

So I'm a regular teenager in high school and i think I'm friends with almost everyone I know. I think this because I'm not one to talk about someone else's appearances or judge anyone behind their back or even in front of them. I just don't judge. I became pretty close with the "popular" group this year and I've been invited to many of their parties and I'm always hearing sick jokes from them and just bad things about good people. I was offended by it so I just asked them to tone it down a bit because it made me uncomfortable. The parties I went to were actually boring with just drugs and alcohol and nothing else to do. But I've also been invited to parties where the host was not in the "popular" group and they were the ones I had fun in. They were crazy and outgoing and creative, and just not the "popular" standard, but it was fun. Now id like to ask why are the popular kids considered cool if they're not fun at all? And the kids who are less known so much more fun and happy?

So I started dating this guy for about two months now. He's nice and all but we're still not official. We are both 15 years old and to me, dating is an open thing where you just go on a DATE with someone and it can be anyone. I feel like he thinks we're serious but neither of us has made it official. I don't know if I want to get serious with him because he's boring sometimes and I don't know what to do with him. A friend of mine asked if I wanted to go on a date with him this weekend and I want to go but then I don't know if it's wrong because of this other guy. Do I just not hang out with my "friend" because of someone else or should I go? I know it seems like a b*tchy thing to do but I'm not feeling any chemistry with this current guy and I have a lot of history with the friend.

I am 15 years old and I happen to be very open with my mother about everything. When it comes to drama with friends or boys she'll always listen. Now I just met a boy a couple of weeks ago THROUGH HER so she knows him and his family. Anyways this boy and I started talking and now I really like him. I asked my mom if I could go on a date with him. It's just a date it's nothing serious but she invites 50 of my friends to come with us. This has happened twice. Now this guy wants to come over my house and cook for me. HE WANTS TO COOK FOR ME. And I asked her if he could come over and that I'd be okay if hung around if she didn't want anything happen. She says no. My little 12 year old sister has boys around the house all day, every week. And I can't even hang out with one? She started limiting my texting times and my call minutes just so I can't talk to him. I ask her why I can't talk to him and she just says that I'm not allowed to date. I always try to talk to her about it because I don't want to go behind her back but now she's just being unreasonable. Being the Asian mom she is she says I can only date Asian boys, well mom this boy is Asian. As I keep trying to talk to her she blows it off as a joke and I'm starting to resent her for it.

I am 15 years old and she is 12. Now, we all know that teenage girls will be rude and bitchy towards their parents and adults and other siblings, but she has gone too far. Sure, I may have a bad attitude with adults sometimes but I feel like it's only at appropriate moments. Example: My very racist aunt makes a comment about someone else's race, I become very offended and will say something like "You're too ignorant to know, so how could you say that's a fact?" Yes, I am a mean person but really, wouldn't you do the same thing? Anyways, yesterday I dropped my phone in the toilet, don't worry the toilet was empty, the phone fell out of my pocket, and now my phone won't turn on. I'll try to do the rice thing, but then, I asked my sister if I could use her phone because I needed to be able to contact my mom during the day to pick me up from sports and work. Since she's in middle school, she's not allowed to use her phone anyway. If a teacher sees it, it is automatically taken away and I know because I attended the same school. After I ask her, she goes berserk on me. She'll start screaming and saying "You're SO ANNOYING, your phone is still working you just want my phone!" Okay? I had an iPhone, and your phone can't do anything but call, text, and play music, why would I want your phone if mine was working? Then she goes "YOU'RE GOING TO TELL EVERYONE IT'S YOUR PHONE" You really need credit for owning a phone? Then she starts hitting me. Why does she have such a bad attitude?

Okay, I'm a teenage girl in high school and as everyone knows, I want a boyfriend, every girl wants a boyfriend. I don't mean just anyone, I DO have standards and one of them is they must NOT participate in the use of drugs. The past year a couple of guys have liked me and i was interested in them too. It always starts off as a really good friendship to almost friends with benefits until I find out they do drugs. I really don't want that kind of peer pressure on me so I just avoid it and most of the time I tried steering them away from it because I really did like them. Now, this has happened more than just a few guys. I can tell that they care about me a lot with the way they talk to me and they don't try to rush things like sex but their smoking is just a turn off. Now I'm known as the cold b*tchy heartbreaker because I "lead them on". I don't mean to do it, I just found out about the drugs! Then I have to ask this question, why are all my relationships going down the drain? It's not like I'm only going after bad guys, it's just that I don't know whose the stoner or not.

A little backstory here, I am the third wheel in this little friendship and I cannot take it. Really, I do love both of them but not when they're together. Friend 1 was the first one I met and introduced me to friend 2. They are best friends by the way and they've said that I'm the first person they've actually started to like in a while. 3 years later, we're still friends. But what high school did was made friend 1 a conceited ***** that says "kill yourself" to everyone all day. And friend 2 is nice but when coming into contact with friend 1, sinking into that "kill yourself" phase. I just hate them because they are so judgemental. Since they've been at the school longer, they believe that they can control who I hang out with and etc. I make a new friend on a sports team and then I can't talk to her because she's a "slut". I like different foods like sushi and like to try new things. They never try new things. I hate how they never try anything new then judge me for it. What do I do?

I am a freshman in highschool and I have a little problem that includes two boys. One of them is a senior and he admits that he likes me a lot. I like him too but I don't really want to date a senior. Especially since he's going to be graduating and leaving. The other is a sophomore in my Spanish class and swim team. He always flirts with me and everyone says "You and her should date." he responds by smiling and then walking away. The senior and I started fighting because he wanted to go out with me but I said that I didn't want to because of the age difference and everything. The sophomore saw that I was upset and asked about the problem. I told him about it and then he freaked out at me. He asked me about the problem, then he yells at me for it! I asked him why was he mad and he just said that he didn't want to talk to me. Now both of them are mad at me. What do I do?

In my house, there is my mom, my little sister, and two family friends. Which are a mom and a son. The son is a year older than me. He's 16 and I'm 15 and my little sister is 12. They live in my house so the son can go to school because where they normally live, the schools are horrible. The mom and son sleep in my little sister's room, I have my own room, and my little sister sleeps with my mom. The son and I do sports, he does winter track and I'm on the swim team. Everyday his mom picks us up from school and her car is just messy and there's food everywhere and I can't stand it. All she does is complain about her work (she works in a factory, so it's just labor work) and complains about the drivers around us and screams about their race. Yes, she's racist. I am so annoyed with her hatred towards people that I call friends so I started taking the after school bus because she complains about me being late when it's her son that ALWAYS leaves his practices early. So to stop causing her to scream at me, I just took my own way. Now, my mom usually comes home late because she's a lawyer and always has to talk her to clients, so the family friend mom cooks for us. When she cooks, she always leaves a mess and yells at me if I don't eat the food. I just tell her that I'm not hungry and she calls me an ungrateful brat. Then she slanders the people I hang out with and says that I'm a bad person because I have friends of different races. I just ignore her and go to my room. We own a dog, too. He sleeps in his crate and the family friend mom wakes up around 4am to leave for work, then he starts barking like crazy. She doesn't even make an effort to open the crate for the dog. All she has to do is open the door and let him out. Well, surprise, she doesn't. AND on Fridays, my mom and I have cleaning days when she's off from work and the son never does anything. He eats, sleeps, and trashes the house. I ask him to brush the dog's teeth while I'm cleaning the kitchen floors and he complains that it's MY dog and I should do it. So instead, I told him to get my little sister. He goes "She doesn't have a cellphone, she's outside, so no." I yelled at him for being lazy and told him to lock himself in his room if he's not going to do anything. He leaves his stuff in the living room and I tell him to take it up with him but he ignores me and walks upstairs. What the hell? I swear, I am going to beat him up. I am so close to punching him. I've talked to my mom about them and she agrees but she's not going to kick them out because they're family friends. They have a house of their own but they live in mine! If the son is such a tough boy why doesn't he just take on the bad schools, then? If they're not leaving, then how do I deal with them? The mom complains about how other races are lazy and messy when herself and her family are doing what she's explaining. I can't take it anymore. What do I do before I seriously beat someone up?

I'm a freshmen in highschool and I just joined the swim team but there's a problem, I feel insecure in a one piece bathing suit. For some reason I feel and look better in a bikini but when I wear the one piece my body looks out of proportions. My thighs are huge due to muscle and they looking disgusting. I'm scared to swim because of my body but the reason I'm swimming is to improve it! I can't wear a bikini for swimming because only one pieces are permitted. My sister says I look fat in a one piece but nice in a two piece and I don't understand why. I'm freaking out and every time I look in the mirror I start crying. What do I do?

My friend is just the rudest person ever. I can't take it. I tell it to her face and she denies it. Even her best friend of 10 years complains about her because she did something to upset someone. All she does is point out other people's flaws and tells people to shut up. She doesn't do it to me because we've been friends for years too. Recently a mutual friend invited us over her house. When we got there we were served cultural food, like the rice and entree. The mutual friend is Asian. The rude friend wouldn't even touch her plate because she "cannot touch bad food" what is that? Someone made her food and she disrespects them. How do I deal with her? She's getting on my last nerve.

I just started highschool and I've been crushing on a sophomore guy that I met in middle school. I met him through his nephew who is in my grade. Anyways, I started talking to the sophomore a lot and we get along pretty well. His nephew is my friend too but we just don't click. The nephew asked me out yesterday and said that he's liked me since 6th grade. I told him I'll think about it because I didn't want him to feel hurt. I don't know what to do because I feel like I used the nephew now. Do I say yes or no? Someone help!

I'm sure most of you have heard about the Disney game Toontown. I loved that game so much as a kid and still play now as a teenager. I don't make friends on the game, and I don't usually interact with the kids because I just want to get my battles and mission over with. Anyways, today I logged on and joined a small party in front of a cog building. A higher level toon makes annoyed sounds and faces just because I'm not as high as her. She says things like "UGH, we don't want you here!" So I told her to calm her bratty little ignorant mouth down. (you can say these in toontown :) ) Then she tells me that she doesn't hang out with people like me. Who the f*ck do you think you are? It's a game. These kind of kids online have no idea who they're talking to and I wish I could go to their house and beat them up and their parents for having such snobby brats. I'd be fine with the snobbiness if I knew the person insulting me was better. But an 8-12 year old kid? You're kidding me, right. How and why do these little f*ckers become little f*ckers!

We met two years ago and became bestfriends. I became bestfriends with her bestfriend too. And all three of us have been hanging out together for two whole years. It's really only been our small trio. I have two other close friends but they're not part of this group. Anyways, bf 2 and I started playing videogames together and bf 1 doesn't play videogames. She started all this drama about how she doesn't want to talk to us or how she feels like the third wheel but the problem is we keep inviting her to do stuff with us but she never wants to then she complains about being left out. Bf 2 and I said to just let her calm down and think because we're not used to drama. We avoid it. Now I don't know what to do because we keep trying to reach out to her but she never wants to do anything. She's being a downer and I'm ready to scream at her. What do I do?

I'm a 19 year old guy and my girlfriend is 18. I went on vacation with my cousins and their family friends came along. I became friends with a 16 year old girl and we accidentally bought matching hoodies. My girlfriend came soon after and went crazy about why we were matching and hanging out with each other. I tried explaining everything to her but she doesn't answer the phone and she's never home. How do I tell her that I wasn't cheating?

On the last day of middle school, I told my crush I liked him. I then told him that I don't want a relationship because I'm going on vacation. We hung out a few times with friends before I left and it wasn't awkward at all. It was like nothing happened. I thought I still liked him, but after I told him, I didn't feel anything anymore. There was none of that "lust feeling". We're going to camp together soon and he asked me out. I don't know what to say because I don't feel the same now. What do I do? And why did my feelings change so suddenly?

We recently got a 2 month old puppy and he found a corn cob. It didn't have corn on it, so he just chewed on the cob. His teeth aren't fully developed yet, so he couldn't bite through it. Is this unhealthy for him? What could be a substitute?

I like this guy and we just had our 8th grade dance last night, I had a lot of fun and went with my friends, not a date. Anyways I really like him and we're close as friends, but everyone wants him to be with someone else. I'm close friends with the girl, too. They both said they don't like each other. This makes me sad because everyone else keeps being annoying. This guy and I slowdanced while his date was someone else because it was too awkward for them. Then before I left, he told me that he should've asked me to the dance instead. Everyone is still trying to get them together and pissed that they didn't dance. I don't know what to do because everyone keeps interfering. Only a couple of them understand that they shouldn't be pushed together

Well tomorrow, my parents were throwing me a birthday party and many people asked what I wanted. I just asked them to write a card and be there. As a joke, my sister said she'd make a birthday list on my facebook. I thought she was kidding, but she really wasn't.. She wrote things like a new car, jewelry, a laptop, a television, etc. At the end, it said just kidding -from her sister. And my older cousin took it way too serious. She started calling me names saying I was a spoiled brat when I didn't even write the status. Saying things like I should just appreciate people would even attend the party. All I did was ask for a card! She started saying things like, "You're wishing for this stuff so it can take the attention away from your ugly hair and pimples." I don't understand why she has to be so mean. We already threw a party for her birthday and she made a huge list that included hair irons, laptops, a bedroom renovation, and everything. All she does is telling me not to judge my birthday with presents. She got a bedroom renovation! Telling me that I'm stupid and I don't know how to live my own life. I just hate her and her whole family, all the time, always trying to put me down. Calling me a hippo when I was younger, and after I lost some weight, calling me an unhealthy stick. She's a struggling actor and model, so I guess she would know about looks and weight and everything. I don't understand, why did I have to have her in my bloodline?
