Ellie,
I think I'm becoming an asexual feminist. All I want to do is be a
tomboy, read, draw, and run around feminist sites. I'm becoming
considerably more antisocial, too. In fact, I'm suprised I haven't bitten someone
for bothering me when I'm reading. I forever have at least two long
novels with me, as well as my CD player and a sketchbook. Not to mention I
have no interest in either sex, despite the fact that my
fourteen-year-old hormones should be running havoc in my poor little body. Not to
mention I'm thinking more and more with each passing day that the male
species, in general, are all stupid pigs. Just out of curiousity, anything
I should be doing? Ripping off toes to procreate? Carrying kerosine
around, kicking men in the groins, dousing them and lighting them up like
a christmas trees (I love spacefem.com )?

Oh...and one more question while I'm here: Any idea how I can move to
Ireland or...something? I'm rather sick of being in a country run by a
chimp. A stupid chimp. A stupid chimp with really big ears and funny
eyebrows that do a little dance whenever he speaks. Republicans are
stupid...
-- = So bloody confused...

Yes, I know how you can move to Ireland. If you have a grandparent who was born there, you can become a citizen, and then you can move. If you have any grandparents who were born in the European Union, maybe you could become a citizen there and then move to Ireland, but I am only familiar with Irish citizenship laws. Your other options are to marry someone who is a citizen or to get a work visa. Those are very hard to do, but easier than having a grandparent who was born in Ireland if you don't have a grandparent who was born in Ireland.

You might think you're asexual because you're surrounded by 14-year old boys--the worst that you Homo sapiens have to offer. Aggravating the problem is the girls who fawn over them. Or you might be a budding lesbian. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Okay. Lets start by saying that I have fallen completly head
over heels in love with a guy. I think he is perfect for me. Now for
the bad part: I am 13 and have never been in a relationship before. I
haven't really talked to they guy a lot since we switched seats in science
class. I sometimes look up at him during class and every now and then
he is looking at me... but then we both look away. He is german and
said that "all white people are racist" I felt that this was a racist
statement but didn't really care because I am part German too. I wanted to
start a conversation with him but found this extramly hard since I am
shy. We have a few netural friends but they are all guys so I can't
possible tell then how I feel. The guy I like also thinks I like my friend
(who is a guy) I told him I didn't but I don't know If he believed me.
Summer vacation is comming soon and I really want to talk to him (or
maybe hook up) before we leave for break. Do you have any suggestion
about how to talk to him? or do you think he likes me? What do you
think I should do?
Thank you SO much!!!

Just flirt harder. At worst he won't be interested and you'll be embarrassed and he won't be friends with you anymore. That won't be so bad because you like him because you have a crush on him, not for his friendship. How to flirt? Give him compliments. When guys get flattered with compliments they think "What is going on? She must be flirting with me." But they can't be mad, oh no. You can't be mad at someone for saying nice things about you. (This probably doesn't work for guys flirting with girls, but I don't know how to do that yet. I'm researching.) -- Eleanor Roosevelt



hi-
i have been using boys in the manner that it appears many of them use
girls (kiss them, tell them they are pretty and never talk to them
again). but it is getting to me. i am only doing this because i feel this
is the only way to get attention from the boys...is there any other
way? also i tend to get more attached then i let on and then when i let
the boys go i feel sad or bad or guilty or lonely. but usually the only
progression of kissing a boy is giving them your number and then they
do the boy thing of not calling and you get theirs and you can't bring
yourself to call and it's a mess. or taking them home but i cannot do
that. i would need a relationship or at least a close friendship for
that to happen. please make some sense of my confusion!

You're practically doing the telemarketing of kissing. Just kiss everyone and let it all go to the next level and some will work out and some won't. There's no reason to like someone who doesn't like you and there's a lot of reason to like someone who does like you. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




I was anemic for about six months (i finally 'got over it'
about three months ago) and i lost a lot of hair (on my head) from it. I
had beautiful long brown hair and now i had to cut it short..think
halle barry short. it doesnt look bad, but my hair is so thin that you can
tell where it still hasnt grown in all over. i have prom on april 23,
so i was wondering if you had any advice on what i could do with my hair
for prom? if not, that's totally fine, but i noticed your style is
unique and cool! any help will do, thanks!

My style is unique and cool? Well I'll be!

Thanks!

The way I see it, you have three options. 1) Do nothing and hope for the best. 2) Get a wig. That might seem very weird and mortifying to you, but there are people who can pull it off. The people who can pull it off are the people who say "I'm going to wear a wig and not care if people know I have a wig on." 3) You might be able to tie a long broad (2-1/2"?) ribbon around your head. Let it drop to a little past your shoulder. This will not only look good but distract from your hair problems. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Ex-boyfriend. Keeps giving me shit, man. He's emailing my
current interest, he's an emotional cripple. Help me get this weak-ass
metal-wannabe GAP posterboy fuck offa my back. Please. He's insane, and I
fear for my own sanity. And possibly my life. Okay, not really, he
weighs like a buck-forty, and I could totally take him, but HE'S PISSING ME
OFF!! AAJHGsdlk!kl!M0839(&*^!@*&^@(!!!!
