What is the best advice for teenagers?
The best advice I can give is this: If you're interested in someone, but you aren't sure if it's mutual, then try sitting really close to them. When you have feelings for someone that are beyond friendship, your personal boundaries don't apply to that person. This means that if they allow you to be so close that your legs touch, then they most probably have feelings for you.
More advice:Please keep in mind that the following advice is coming from someone who has the benefit of hindsight, and it's true that hindsight is much clearer vision than foresight or the vision you have while living through something.First, get your priorities straight. Playing video games and finding out what celebrities are doing are going to have no positive affects on your life. In fact, spending too much time on things like that is nothing more than a waste of time. Instead, spend your time doing well in school and participating in wholesome activities, like clubs at school and groups like 4-H and Scouting. I know 4-H and Scouting might sound "old fashioned," but they will do much more for your life than trying to beat a game and finding out what celebrities are virgins or gay!
Second, be your own person and set your standards high. Don't do anything because the crowd is doing it, especially having sex or doing drugs. Regardless of what anyone tells you, having sex too young or before you are married can have detrimental effects on your relationship after you are married. I'm not implying that it will. I'm just saying it can, and I speak from experience. As for drugs, doing drugs just is not cool.
Remember this: Even if you believe in reincarnation, you get ONE chance at the life you are living now. What seems cool when you are a teenager may not seem so cool when you are 25 or 35. The best way to avoid having regrets is to avoid making poor decisions. Believe it! I know, and I'm way past 25 or 35.
Why is it difficult to be around people?
It is difficult to be around people because, generally, people are fake, shallow, and attempt to focus on little things to avoid the real things that should matter in life. You are taught that pleasing them should be your desire and that you wish to make yourself happy is wrong. You are shown that people who love others are automatically great even if they love them for no reason. It is difficult to be around people because not all people have respect; they do not value themselves and they accept things that are wrong without questioning them. When you feel alienated from them, it is not because you are wrong, but because it simply does not make sense, their actions.
If you are nervus about going to a new school what should you do?
#1 go in with the frame of mind that you love the word new. New school, new style, new attitude. Do whatever u want with it. The word new is full of possibilities, you can make it whatever you want.
#2 picture someone you used to know that you liked. Look at the qualities that would draw you to them. Try using some of the qualities that they practiced. For example, they would refuse to gossip, which in turn made everyone really comfortable around them.
#3 If you are not happy with your look, try a new one.
If you are a guy: go out and buy some hair gel and play out the looks in your bathroom.
If you are a girl: Go get a new purse, new makeup or perfume. I would go for perfume!
#4 Once you arrive.. get involved!
Look at their list of activities, sports, and clubs. The best way to get comfortable is to get acquainted with your surrounding, find what you like, find the people you like.
#5 Be very open
Don't be afraid to introduce yourself! People love a formal introduction. So, say Hi my name is _____. (Let them say their name). Give them a compliment, make the compliment something that they look like they would care about.
>Also if someone introduces themselves. Act very welcoming but don't scare them off.
#6 Lunch time
Be safe. If someone doesn't ask you to sit with them at lunch. Then ask someone who you know will say yes or someone you have really talked to, if you could sit with them.
#7 Remember who you are!!
I know I've talked about starting fresh but that doesn't mean let go of what makes you, you!! So if you always have you're fingernails bright blue then do it!! If you have had that same backpack since kindergarten then do it!! It may make people think of you a little differently than what you prefer but in the end you will be happy you where the emo (or whatever) of the class when you meat someone who is totally into emo stuff 2!
Why are girls threatened by other girls Beauty?
Well we girls love attention. We love to be loved and treated like a princesses, no matter how shy you are.
We don't really feel threatened by other girls beauty, perhaps we are more then a little envious. We could feel a bit intimidated if the beautiful girl is showing a fancy towards the men we are dating.
Sometimes girls feel threatened by other girls beauty because they tend to think of themselves as being "less" than that other girl because of her looks in comparison to their looks.
Beauty is big in today's society. It has become an art to dress well, wear the right make up, and have beautiful hair.
Girls who are like this tend to be treated better and receive more positive attention from other peers than girls who are average in this category or below average.
So basically, girls tend to be more susceptible to having an inferiority complex in regards to beauty and self-image leading to jealousy and easily being threatened by someone who they and society deem as being "beautiful". Sadly, this is a harsh reality that many girls must endure. but this is only a reality because we make it so.

I am someone who feels guilty about everything, and I would feel guilty about this too. Should you feel guilty? Yes, because you broke her door.
However, should you pay for the new one yourself? No, because she asked you to do it and it was not of your own free will. It was her decision to break down the door, so you should not feel guilty enough to pay for the new one. Had you decided on your own to break the door down, then you should pay for it because it was your decision. But it was her door, her decision to break the door, and now she will pay for it.
