What do you do when your "best friend" lies for attention?

How do you make her stop complaining about her "oh-so-horrible-life, when

it isn't bad at all?

-- = Meg

I exist in a world where if you tell a chronic whiner "you know, that really isn't that bad," she'll be ashamed and quit it. I don't know how to deal with people like your friend. You should try slipping a little garlic into her drinks. That'll give her something to complain about. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I like to stab things and afte i feel really bad. The worst

thing i ever did was kill a cat but humans may be next what do i do?

-- = Ahley Wood

You should turn yourself into the police. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



i think im pragnet...what do i do...im 14 years old?

-- = kristy cusic

Definitely get an abortion. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



i'm a girl... i got with this girl at a party and she was all

for it and everything. i knew she was straight and kinda had a

reputation as a whore but i figured whatever. now she's spreading it all over

that i raped her. what do i do? also, she's doing it behind my back, and

to my face she's beign all flirty. !!!! help please

-- = romylove

Well she's either being false behind your back or to your face. If it's too your face, make a joke about raping her again. If it's behind your back, appeal to her lust for you to tell her to quit with the rape stuff. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



hello, eleanor. i have a perdicament. there is this

pathilogical liar who used to be my friend who is trying to steal my man. now

its not really working (as he hates her guts) but it is really

annoying having this chick call the house all of the time trying to tell me

stuff about how they are getting it on. and she has made a habit of

spreading rumors about me. not cool ones. how can i get rid of this

person that does not involve murder?

-- = politely peeved

Hang up on her. Call her house telling her the things you are actually doing with your man too. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I hooked up with a girl towards the end of my junior year

before summer at final ball, and as we were walking back from my car she

asked me to be honest and say if I wanted to date her when we returned

the next year or not. I said yes because I didnt want her to spend all

summer hating a guy, and I really don't want to date her. When I

return next year, what should I do? The reason I don't want to date her is

because she has kind of a bad reputation and everyone will criticize

me, I don't even really like her I was just really horny and she was all

over me the night of the dance. Please help me.

-- = Alex Dodson

Even if I could help you, I wouldn't. You are the most cowardly advice-seeker I have dealt with. Ugh. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I love my boyfriend very much and try not to listen to what

the whole world has to say all the time but he's 16 and I'm 19, do we

have any hope. Why is ok for a boy to be older but not the girl in

today's society?

-- = Susannah

I personally don't think you have hope. Three years isn't a big difference when you're 27 and 30. Maybe even when you're 19 and 22. But 16 and 19 is a big gap. I'd tell you the same thing if the boy were older. Anyway, boys date younger girls because they are afraid of being shown up if they date anyone their equal. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I like this guy and everyone says how much he talks about me

and how much he likes me but he doesn't have enough guts or something

to talk to me during the week. When the weekend roles around he calls me

and we hang out with his friends usually. I'm not sure if he's

embarassed to communicate with me in school, or if he's shy, or if he's just a

dumb guy who needs to be put in his place. Solutions? Please!

-- = Cecilia

If you haven't tried talking to him during the week, try that. If he doesn't respond, ask him why on some weekend. If you are going to end up dating this fellow, you might as well start communicating now. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Prom is coming soon. problem is the person i'm going with is

only a friend and that's all he'll ever be. The guy that i'm really

into isn't going because if this whole mess with his ex-g/f because they

broke up MONTHS ago and hate each other now so it wouldn't work if they

went together. Now he doesn't have a date and won't go. What should i

do?

-- = Liz

Go to the prom with your friend and have a good time. You don't have to spend prom with your significant other to have fun. Then tell this other guy you wish you had gone with him. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I long for magic, but there is no fucking magic in this god

damned world. Help.

-- = Cordi

Well you'll never find it with that attitude. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



My friend has no mind of her own. If you ask her a question

she tells you to answer first so she can say what you say. She won't

answer if you don't! It's extremely annoying, she even orders what I do

at resteraunts. How can I tell her tactfully that she needs to use her

own mind?

-- = Karen

If you want to be subtle, order things you know she hates. If you want to be overt, tell her you can't decide whether to hang out with her or a mirror. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



i'm trying to find out if this guy likes me, and a lot of

people says he does, how do i know for sure if he likes me or not?

-- = right..

Ask him out, obviously. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



i went to prom with someone this year but we were just

friends and then afterwords, this person told me they liked me...i don't like

them. but they are unstable, and have a horrible family life and other

problems, and i've sort of been like their "rock" ... a friend to get

them through times when they need to talk. i'm afraid they don't really

like me, they are just going for me because i'm there and i listen to

their problems. i don't want to let them down for fear of their

reaction. thoughts?

-- = Jon

You can turn 'them' down without letting 'them' down. Just don't lead 'them' on. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I've got an issue with an ex-boyfriend. He won't leave me

alone, even when I tell him flat out that I don't want to talk or see him

anymore. What the hell am I supposed to do?

-- = ashley

Tell him why you don't want to talk to him or see him. Then get even meaner if that doesn't work. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



im a lezbian and i want sex but i can't find any other

lezbians what should i do ?

-- = marilyn

Go on craigslist. That, or be openly lesbian. Then lesbians will find you. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Dear Eleanor, (that's a very original name for an alligator,

no matter how cute!! ;))

I really like that guy from school -I'm seventeen- and he acts like he

wants me as well.

The problem is, that until sometime ago, I was miserable due to the

way my ex boyfriend -we were together for three years- treated me. I find

it difficult to trust the others, and I've hurt two close friends of

mine who attempted to come closer to me.

That boy is very nice with me, but he is very popular and had a lot of

girlfriends. Do you think that I should trust him? Every time he

attempts something, I give him mixed signals, and I think that I'll hurt him

as well... What should I do?

-- = Anne D.

Go into the relationship expecting nothing so you can be pleasantly surprised by everything good. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



ok i reali like my exboyfriend again and i told him but know

i find out he had sex with another girl and he likes her. what should i

do?

-- = alexa

If he likes her, I think you have lost. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Is you friend Gus single? JK That is not my question.

Eleanor what would you say is the best way to get rid of hickups?

-- = Britney

You aren't Gus's type.. Hiccups are to be savored, not to be removed. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



i'm totally obsessed with this guy...and we talk...but not

very much...and not very often...but he doesnt like contact with the

outside world. he would rather play video games all day. and hes in a band.

and hes so cute. and i dont know what i am to do...

heeeeeeeiiilllllppppp!!!!!!!!!!!

-- = Rose

You're not going to be able to change him and you probably won't like him how he is. So pretend you already dated him and broke up with him. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Before last weekend i had only had sex with one pesron who i

had been in love with. Last weekend, i had sex with my best friend

several times. He and I are very close but he is almost in a relationship

as well am i. I'm confused by all these emotions because i always have

sortof liked him and he has sortof liked me. But I'm not sure how to

take this or what to think. what should i do?

-- = Confused Gal

Ask him how he feels about it. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



If you try to push away your feelings for someone will it

work?

-- = Trish

Yes. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



There is this secret about me that only one person was

supposed to know. But now it seems like slowly that everyone is figuring this

thing out that could potentially ruin my life (not exaggerating) what

would you do at this point?

-- = Holly

Take heart. Nothing people can just figure out can really ruin your life. Well not in a way in which you could do anything about it anyway. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



will i find true love?

-- = lauren

Maybe. You'll think you have several times though. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Im moving to new york on saturday to live with my boyfriend

of 3 months. I live in Florida and I met him in CANCUN! Im a junior and

college and would have to transfer. I feel as if Im inlove, Im really

nervous about the move what do you think I should do?

-- = Erika

You are retarded. If anything, move to New York and live on your own or with someone else and go to school and date him. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



well i like this guy but he is goin

off to collage and he is a wicked good friend of mine and everyone says

we should date but he hasnt said anything about it. i wanna ask him but

not sure how to go about it. cause we are wicked good friends and i was

told who better to date then a wicked close and good friend....

-- = Ashley

He's gay. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



i think my girlfriend is messing with my mind

-- = robert

That is their nature. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Hey Ellie, I have this weird obsession with a site named

http://mewing.net What should I do?

Oh and also I think Susan is stalking me. Boo-hoo, I'm scared!

-- = Shadow N.M

Susan is stalking M.N., not any Shadow N.M.s. You are obsessed with a good site though. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Hello there, Eleanor.

There is a boy I know.

His name is Danny.

I do not have the largest boobs on earth.

Danny knows this,

and every chance he gets he makes fun of me for it.

But once we went swimming.

I am the skinniest person in my school. Seriously.

I was wearing a bikini, a stringy one.

Danny untied the back.

I don't get it.

If my boobs are so small,

than why does he want to see them

and why wouldn't he fucking keep his hands off them at the party?

Boys are dumb.

-- = Hannah

He is both immature and obsessed with your teats. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I am torn between two guys. I want to have both of them, but

I know this cannot work. Who is better for me, Owain or Simon? Who

should I end up with?

-- = Raven

Simon's name is better. Yours isn't anything to write home about either though. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



i have this friend. she isnt prettier than me, but she grew

up with a lot of brothers and she gets along great with guys. she gets A

LOT of guys and has many guy friends. ive never been jealous of her

until she started a thing with the best friend of a guy who i really like,

making her the center of everyone's attention. i realize that i'm

jealous, but what should i do about it? ..and to top it off she kind of rubs

it in unintentionally, always talking about how much of a fun time they

have.

-- = kristin

All you can do is take comfort in the fact that you're prettier. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



I have an embarrassing stretch mark problem all along my

bosoms. Guys always wanna know whats peeking out of my swimsuit and i don't

want to say thier strethmarks, but i cant think of a good lie. Help?

-- = Laila

Tell them they're strech marks. The funny thing about telling the truth sometimes is that it's disarming. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



when will I have sex?

-- = boobshat

Within 24 hours of your first post on craigslist. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



Ok..I have this friend that I only hang out with because

she's pretty, and popular, and gets me in with the highschool boys...the

thing is she is a total bitch. I can not stand her! She gets all these

guys even though she is a horrible, coniving little thing... What are

your suggestions for secretly sabotaging her in front of some guys??

-- = Koolio

Who cares if she's a bitch? You're using her to get what you want, and you're getting it. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



was dating this cute guy, and on our last date, i asked him

if he wanted to have sex. he said yes, but then he broke up with me.

What did i do wrong?

-- = Katie

You dated a looney, that's what. -- Eleanor Roosevelt

question is, do u think he reallii loves me afta wut i did?? even though he

4gave me n he still claims dat he loves me??? wut shud i do??

-- = nena chula

I imagine a long distance relationship must be exceptionally hard for those who struggle so with the written word. Anyway, I don't think he loves you now and I know you didn't love him then, so it doesn't really matter what you do. -- Eleanor Roosevelt
