Problem:

i dated this guy last summer that i met at a camp, and hes great no doubt but we had to break up b/c we didnt get to see each other. now we've been talking recently and he says that hes 'falling for me' again, and i've been going along with it saying that im 'falling for him' too but hes really been getting on my nerves lately, to the point i completly ignore his calls and hope he doesnt call back later, how do i let him kno to back off without sounding like a total jerk?

Advice:

I suggest telling him that you need your space sometimes. Tell him just what you said to me, tell him that you have feelings for him(if you truthfully do feel this way) that but he has been just a bit too clingy and that you feel a little smothered by him. You can also ask for him to be less attached sometimes. Keep in mind that he has no way of knowing you feel this way because you have no only not told him how you feel but you have been going along with what he says- which, by the way, is a bad idea because it puts you in awkward positions such as this

Remember guys are not mind readers as much as it might make life easier, he might think he is making you happier everytime he is so sweet because of how you have responded and so you need to communicate with him that you feel otherwise.


Problem:

OK. I am in the popular crowd and I have a boyfriend who isn't. I got him over the summer so my friends don't know about him. If i tell them about him, they will laugh and kick me out of the group. So what can i do?

Advice:

I would have more faith in your friends that to laugh and kick you out of the group because you have a boyfriend who is not in the so called "popular" group. But if you are right, that your "friends" would stop being so if you had a boyfriend outside the group then they are no friends at all. If you do feel that you still want to be dating your boyfriend then continue to date him. Do not hide him from your friends but you do not have to announce to them that you have dated him because while they are your friends they do not have say in who you do and do not date. Sometimes friends may disapprove of a boyfriend because they are looking out for your well being, but it would not seem to be that case in this particular scenario if your perdiction is accurate. If you so choose you could introduce him to the group as your boyfriend and ask if he can hang out with guys more and possibly hang out with his friends more aswell.

Remember true friends support you and help you grow. True friends will not hold you back from what you desire unless it will be harmful to you but there is no way for them to be sure of what harm nor for you to know what harm could come of it so always trust your own insticts but take into serious account that they could know something that you do not know.


Problem:

1)I have a lazy eye and nobody likes me because one eye doesn't follow the other one

2) my mom thinks it is wrong to date a black guy but I love him VERY much and if I do go out with him I'm afraid that my mom will figure out and I am afraid of my mom

3)my mom is being a bitch I stay at home and babysit the kids every day  from abourd 6:00a.m till about 2:00a.m and yeah I clean the house and I cook for the kids I bathe them I put them to bed and ugh and she tells me I am self centered

4) my dad ugh him and my mom split up because he always hit her and was cheating on her and he is an alcoholic and does drugs and yeah I am forced to go over there every other weekend where me and my 5 year old brother sit in ther living room while him and his girlfriend are down stairs doing drugs and yeah

5)I CAN NOT FIND A BOYFRIEND

6)I have been raped many times before by one of my exboyfriend named Cody and yeah my mom throws that in my face

Advice:

1) I have a friend with a lazy eye lets call her Carly. But as she has demonstrated over the past four years that despite the fact that people may not treat you kindly because of the lazy eye- people can look past it if you be yourself. Carly grew from a quiet withdrawn girl to a more vibrant person even though she still had many of the same insecurities. She started to learn to accept herself and not try as hard to fit in with others. If you would like you could make a habit of wearing sunglasses while outside so that people get to see and know the real you without focusing on the distraction of a simple thing of a lazy eye.

2&5) You are still quite young to know if you love a man and the question is, why does your mom think it is wrong? You and your mom need to come to an understanding about dating it seems. But having a boyfriend is not everything, while it has its benfits it also can have extra responsibilities or stresses

3) It seems you really need to sit down and have an adult conversation with your mom, sharing your feelings is a good idea usually so long as you word things in the possesive "I feel that I am unappreciate" as apposed to "you don't appreciate me"- however sometimes people do not want to have that discussion no matter what, especially those who are 'superior' to you being a boss or a parent. In that case you just have to learn to let it roll of you to have no attitude while you take care of your responsibilities at the same time in theory if you act like an adult you will start to be treated like one, even  if it is not instant

4) As far as your dad goes there is little advice I can give because of how complicated and delicate of a situation it is. Talking directly to an adult you know and trust or informing your mother of this is the best option because while you are older and can take care of yourself better, you five year old brother can be affected more/ could be in more danger. While it is not good to let alcholoism and illegal drug use occur, keep in mind no matter how right it may be, you still may look like the bad guy- the 'tattle tail'. A friend of mine sometime ago came home after work to his sister having a party with drugs and alcohol in his house while his parents were away. He called the police and then proceeded to go into the basement, where the party was held, and inform the people that the police were on their way. While he did what was right for the sake of his family and especially his sister many people at school found out what he had done and even those who were not at the party spited him because he had called the police. So while it may be right to protect yourself and your younger brother to inform others you trust and who have power to help you of your father and his habits- you have to keep in mind that there is a good chance that you will look like the bad guy. That is, if they even do believe you which is another problem.

6) Your mom cannot let go of your exboyfriend and his acts, for what reason I do not know, but again I feel it is best to sit and talk about it with her as I mentioned in #3. However this is also more than having a discussion with your mom. You also need to make sure you never put yourself in the position of getting raped again. Whether it be, not getting a boyfriend again for a while, tighting who can be your boyfriend, dating in groups, never being alone in a house or car. It is important for your physical and psychological health that you take all  the neccassary precautions from doing this again

Having said all that I have, I think you need to find a psychologist that you can see often, whether it be a school councelor or someone you know because you need to talk to someone you can talk and comminicate direct with who you know is fully qualified to help you.

Problem:

i have a bf and we have been goin out for about 2 months and he's great just a little too great at times do i tell my to not be so sweet or do i just say we're better off as friends what do i do?

Advice:

I suggest just telling him you need your space sometimes is the best thing. Tell him just what you said to me, he was a sweet guy but almost too sweet, and tell him (if you truthfully do feel this way) that you think he is great and you want to continue to go out with him but you feel a little smothered by him and you need some time alone or just for him to be less attached sometimes. It is not worth breaking up over if you have not yet told him how you feel, so tell him how you feel and if he does not change remind him of what you said.

Remember guys are not mind readers as much as it might make life easier, he might think he is making you happier everytime he is so sweet and so you need to communicate with him.
