Comment on Why did she break up with me? by Marius

You honestly have to accept what she’s telling you and respect it. Don’t push her for answers or make it known that you don’t believe what she’s saying, even if you don’t, because that’s going to cause the space between you guys to grow larger and larger. Give her some time, and give yourself some time too. You never know, it’s always good to do a self evaluation.

Comment on Never been kissed by Marius

When I read this post I thought about all the things in life I haven’t done yet like: graduating from high school, flying a plane, or visiting the Great Wall of China! The point of that is, there are so many more things to worry about, ESPECIALLY at the age of 14. You have your life ahead of you, and many kisses laced throughout, just wait for them. When we rush things we often find the outcome slows us down. keep that in mind and know that nothings wrong with you.

So it’s no secret that relationships are about respect. With that being said, your friend and you are not only disrespecting his intimate relationship with his girlfriend, but he is also disrespecting his friendship with you. He may not be happy with her, and a tad bit annoyed, but that’s something that should be settled between them, you shouldn’t solve to fix this by “stealing” him. Put your self in her shoes, and it will ultimately lead you to a more mature decision.

In this case you dont want to disappoint your boyfriend and you may not want to attend church after prom. If you cant convince your parents that you dont want to go the church after party, bring your boyfriend. Everyone expects girls to have sex on prom night, dont be the statistic. If he really likes you, he wont mind where you all go, long as he’s with you.

If he sugests he will hurt himself then maybe you should direct him to a counselor. In the past he abused you, and although you still love him thats no excuse to tolerate abuse. The best way to be there for him is to help him get counseling.

The best advice is to just let him know that you will no longer treat him more than a friend if he does not plan on having a relationship with you. Do not allow your guy friend to treat you as a sideline.

Good morning,
Honestly, you can go out with the other guy because dating consists of going out on dates with different people. You and the first guy like you said are not “official”. You are not entitled to not see other boys. You can do whatever you please. So go out on that date girl and have fun !

Comment on Should I give her my passwords? by chantilcoleman

chantilcoleman — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:11:53 +0000

Good morning,
I don’t think you are obliged to give her your password. That is your personal information. Not giving her your password is not a bad thing. It is just not neccesary.

Comment on Uncomfortable Chat by chantilcoleman

chantilcoleman — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:05:45 +0000

Good Morning,
There are many situations similar to yours where teens get involved relationships where one person may act one way in person and another elsewhere such as online. When it comes to the uncomfortable chatting, I think it is best that you tell the guy how he is making you feel. He needs to know that you don’t like the chats. Letting him know how you feel will not only make you feel better but it may also put an end to those unwanted conversations.

Comment on Why does weight matter? by chantilcoleman

chantilcoleman — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 09:12:43 +0000

Good Morning,
For one, girl you are amazing just the way you are. Don’t let anyone take away your pride and joy. Always love yourself and don’t worry about what others have to say because god created you just the way he wanted you to be.
As far as your boyfriend goes, his comments can either be useful or not needed. He might be bringing up your weight to bring about your awareness to it. He may be saving you from some serious health problems. On the other note, he may be actuallly picking on you or making you feel as though you are too fat or skinny.
Ask your partner why they are commenting on your weight and you can see from there if they were saying it in a positive or negative way.
I hope this answers your question.

Comment on Are You Being Controlled?? by chantilcoleman

chantilcoleman — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 18:46:28 +0000

Good afternoon,
The way I would go about solving and handling this situation is to speak with your partner and let them know how they are making you feel. It is best to speak with them early on in the relationship rather than letting things build up and escalate into an uncalled for situation. When one begins to show tendencies stand signs of being overly agrresive and controlling, you must truly take in what is happening. You must acknowledge what’s taking place and safely get yourself out the situation. If this does not work, it is in your best interest to report your partner’s behavior to the authorities. I hope this answers your question.

Comment on What To Do?? by chantilcoleman

chantilcoleman — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 11:16:21 +0000

Good morning,
I feel that each year when school is about to come to an end, things start to happen. Relationships end and friendships begin. Each era brings a different result. However, in this case, I think what is happening is your partner is either trying to non-verbally communicate their feelings or better yet, they know that the summer time is coming and they feel that they might be loosing you. So what needs to take place is you and your partner need to sit down and talk. Talking will allow you to hear how he or she is feeling and you will be able to do the same. When you guys talk, you may discover their reasoning behind their current actions, which will give you a better understanding. So my advice to you is to pull your partner to the side or set up a time, date, and place where the two of you can meet and discuss your concerns and feelings. I hope this helps. Good luck to you!

Good Evening,
Do not feel ashamed. Although your friends are dating and engaging in some form of contact with their dating partners does not mean you have to. If you are not comfortable or ready to kiss a guy, then don’t be pressured to do so. There is nothing wrong with you. There are many teens that fall into the same boat as you. And, it is such a great and valuable thing that you have not started kissing because the time right now at such a young age is when you should be discovering who you are. So I congratulate you and I hope you feel better.

Comment on My girl on TV??? by chantilcoleman

chantilcoleman — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 02:26:10 +0000

Good Evening,
Yes, you can tell her not to take the job. However, that is her life. Her decision. She has the right to work and do what she pleases in a respectful manner. What’s so bad about her being on tv? Of course the hollywood guys will try talking to her. However, if you two have a great sense of trust, honesty, and communication, then don’t worry at all.
You don’t want to be the reason why your girlfriend missed out on a life opportunity that may bring about great results for her life.

Comment on Am I in love? by chantilcoleman

chantilcoleman — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 02:20:36 +0000

Good Evening,
You are absolutely right to feel the way you feel. The l word LOVE has alot behind it.
At the young age you are currently at, we teens truly do not know what love is. You know what it means to love your family and yourself. However, we are still developing and this includes out minds, bodies, and souls. So it is ok that you are not ready to say I love you back. Just let your partner know that you are not on that level. And you can simply say “I really like you too !”

The best way to solve this problem is to inform your partner that you are uncomfortable with the way he/she handles things with you. One thing may lead to another and this small little idea of you thinking that your partner is being controlling can turn into something big and then things can lead more into abuse. Tell your partner as soon as possible on how they make you feel and put an end to this “control” thing before things get too out of hand.

I think you should try to make time for THEM first to see if things go as planned for you guys relationship. If that does not work, then try talking to your partner and inform them on how you feel. They may have been busy or whatever the case may be, they may be unaware of the feelings you have now.

It would be VERY wrong if you told your girlfriend NOT to take the job. If you see she’s excited, then dont ruin this opportunity for her. This is called being insecure. You should trust her and support her, whatever the case may be. Im very certain that no other guy will interfere with you two’s relationship, especially if she doesnt allow the guys to. Its all about trust and that is something you should have. Dont stress over it. You two will still be together in the end and it’s not like the show tape is going to last forever.

If you were really “in” love, you would have had no doubts about whether or not you wanted to tell your boyfriend that you loved him back. You can love someone without being “in” love but when you are “in love,” it’s a feeling that only you would know. Trying to describe how much you’re “in” love with someone is like trying to describe how water taste. No one can tell you when you are “in” love because only you would know but you will know when the time is right. Just wait…
