    I overheard some girls talking when I was walking through the hallway. I know this is sneaky and the fact that I was behind a door is different than sitting down somewhere and listening to people talk to try to talk to them or you just happen to be there. I have no experience with girls.....I never been on a date and I never had a girl that was really a friend...more like acquaintances or short term people I associate myself with I guess i'm just trying to figure them out since I can't seem to get a date

    Perhaps I've seen one to many horror movies about a teen girl home alone but im genuinly scared right now. Im only 14 but my mom lives an hour away and my dad works nights! He started working nights like during the summer but i was never worried because i was always 1 mile away from my grandparents and my aunt so i knew they could be here in a matter of minutes. either that or on nights he had to work i'd just spend the night with them. But tonight my dad wont be back for hours and my aunt is out of town and my grandparents went out to eat with some long lost relatives ( i was not invited ) so im very paranoid as you can tell. Every noise freaks me out (which there are many because even though its the country i live in a busy neighborhood. how do i deal with this? all my family is either at dinner 30 min away and no where near ready to finish, out of town on buisness or (my moms side of the family) lives 4 states away!! IM ONLY 14!!! I talked to my dad but he wont work days so i have to deal with it but my aunt is a cop and this city isnt exactly safe so please help me!!! How do i get through the night without being scared?

  • What do I do if my ex-boyfriend is getting over me but I can't get over him?

    Singles & Dating - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm 17 and my ex is 19. We were together for one year. He is obviously getting over me as he started college recently at a university and he's added a few girls he goes to school with on Facebook. Me, on the otherhand, I haven't met any guys after him and I'm just always thinking about him so it's hard to get over him. I hate that he's meeting all these girls and I'm not meeting any new guys that I'm interested in. I'm kind of jealous. What should I do?
  • My brother's wife got mad at me about a "Facebook" entry. Please Read?

    Friends - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Okay, I am friends with brothers wife on facebook, my brother's wife name is Bridget and she is from Belize. Now, someone she knows asked for my friendship, when I notice it was one of her friends I trusted the source and accepted the friend which was a male. I am single and have already raised my daughter who is know 22years old. For some reason I thought she (Bridget) told him to be-friend me. Well, anyway the guy made a comment on my picture saying "Nice Picture" and I responded saying Thanks, & how are you related to my sis Bridget. Well, before he could even respond, she (Bridget) calls me and says: "If you want to be his friend, then be his friend, don't question our relationship, I don't go around on your friends asking: How are they related to you" Well, I was soo furious, because the question I ask him was just a conversation starter. And wasn't even like I really wanted to know how they were related, I just wanted to break the ice and start conversation with him. I didn't appreciate Bridget Tone and just hung up the phone, I really wanted to start cussing her out but I didn't. Then I went to Facebook and deleted her and this other guy as friend. What do you think, Was I wrong or was she wrong?. She keep calling me back, and she told my dad how I didn't have to hang up like a fool. Right Now, I am still mad and need to calm down because I didn't think she would go there. Its funny how you think things will turn out one way but it turns out to go LEFT

  • Ladies; what do you think about Metalheads?

    Singles & Dating - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm curious how the "normal" (God, I hate that word) girls/women think about guys like me? I know a lot of people might picture a sweaty beer drinking, bearded guy with long hair when they think about metalheads. Now I don't know about the sweaty part, I do drink beer, but I have neither long hair nor a beard. Im asking this because I do get womens' attention somehow, from a distance at least, but beyond that nothing much ever happens, lol. I must say, i'm an introvert guy, not really shy or anything, at least, not once I get to know you, I'm just a bit laid back when it comes to first contact. Is there like, something that repels you from approaching us or something? Do you have some sort of preconceptions? I really am curious, because quite frankly, the thought of just walking up to a girl and asking her makes me crap my pants x) I know a few dozen metalheads besides myself and most of them don't take drugs, but ok.

  • This is how I feel about my dad - I wrote it as a poem. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!?

    Family - 9 hours ago

    Hi, Please read my poem - I know that it's long. However, it would be greatly appreciated i you can tell me what you think of it. It’s been so long since our family fell apart. I’ll never forget the damage that you punctured into my heart. All the grief, the misery, and the darkness that you put me through and how you never cared what I wanted to do. Now that you have a new family, suddenly now you decide to care. Words are only words that I only hear, but the truth is that you’re never there. You never saw the development of the woman that I became today. You only remember the bad choices that I made. But still, you want me back in your life just to please your new daughter and your wife. I’m sure that you never told them how you made my life burn like fire and how you tried to persuade me of throwing away my true desires. So, I can be daddy’s perfect picture. My heart will always remain pure, unlike yours who destroyed every hope that I had in you. Good luck to you trying to pretend to your baby girl that you’re a perfect dad. Honey, he’ll only tear your heart apart and at the end at of the day he will only see the bad. He’ll leave you crying in the corner full of misery and then he’ll try to convince you that he will change. Dad, it’s always the same. The games you play, the lies that slip out of your mouth and how you smile with that evil grin. You’re such a disappointment in my eyes, and I can count how many times you commuted sin. I’m better off now with out you holding my hand, because you were never there after all. You only watched every time someone punched me into the wall. Saying that I should do better, and you only let me down. I only hoped that one day that you would come around, to tell me that you are proud. We can’t rewrite history, and you can’t fixed the damage in my heart. Because you made me feel worthless, and that I can never end what I started. After everything that you put me through, I’m glad that I never put my faith in you. Take note: I'm almost eighteen years old.

Your Cheating Ways

My ten-year old loves to play board games, but none of his friends want to play games with him because he’s constantly cheating. What can I do to encourage him to play by the rules?

By Ann Douglas

My ten-year old loves to play board games, but none of his friends want to play games with him because he’s constantly cheating. What can I do to encourage him to play by the rules?

A recent British study found that 40% of adults cheat at board games, so it’s possible your son isn’t the only one who occasionally “borrows” from the bank in Monopoly—or uses a little sleight-of-hand at dice-rolling time during a game of Sorry!

The best way to teach your child how to play by the rules is to be a good sport yourself, both when you’re playing board games with your child and when life itself deals you a less-than-perfect hand. You want your child to get the message that it’s better to keep your cool and focus on your comeback strategy than to fling the game pieces at your opponent. Just don’t expect your child to master these lessons overnight. It’s not easy to keep your cool when you just been taken to the cleaners by the guy who was lucky enough to scoop up both Boardwalk and Park Place!

And as for the problem of people not wanting to play with your child, that’s a lesson that will take care of itself—a natural consequence of the cheating. Once he starts to play by the rules, he won’t have any shortage of potential opponents.
