    Not to offend people or anything.
    But i've read A LOT of posts, which are just idiotically simple and easy to solve.

    So many problems that are being reposted over and over and over and over and over again!
    It's like they dont know how to think FOR THEMSELVES. It's like people need to be told what to do.

    I mean.... SURE for some situations, you NEED advice.
    But just stupid situations in which you NEED to solve for yourself, that person relies on strangers to tell her/him how to run their love life or how to solve it.

    Honestly i do like trying to help people and all, but i'm just sick of these sissy stories about " my boyfriend hit me, what should i do?"
    " i dont know how to choose between 3 guys"
    (only just random examples)

    I mean URGH its their choice!! no body elses! it's not like anyone on the net who doesnt know the person, is going to get the FULL story, so therefore they wouldnt be able to give the RIGHT or most accurate advice.

    Just annoying thats all..

    anywho take care, bye

    I see your point! but me I actually have one of those I need advice things posted up and I can tell you why I did it.

    As much as yes it is up to ME, and true other people on here don't know me, everyone has opinions and sometimes peoples opinions are good and others suck.. I posted on here because for the last 3 weeks i have been confused, maybe by listening to others opinions I can figure out what path to take. And even then it's not taht I'm gonna take the advice totally but I can get an idea of what someone else in the same situation would do. Relationships can be so hard, and especially for alot of these young girls maybe cominghere to get advice is better than just making a quick decision or something you know?

    Now there are some posts on here that are kind of stupid but hey everyone needs advice sometimes and maybe for some getting it from strangers is easier, not everyone has someone in their life to talk to.

    Just my OPINION..

    I see what you are saying. I think that the one posts that say the exact same thing are very annoying. But I can also understand why some people ask for advice about their love lifes. Sometimes it's easier to get advice from someone you don't know, becuase a lot of times they will say exactly what they think becuase they aren't afraid to hurt your feelings, like friends sometimes are. But I don't know.

    ^I agree.

    Some of the posts are stupid, but sometimes people need other peoples thoughts on the situation. Sometimes the people we know and are close to, only say things to make us feel good, but don't really help. I think it's good to het advice from people you don't know or don't see because it actually helps (depending on the situation).

    I think sometimes people know what they SHOULD do, they just need to hear somebody else say it. If that makes sense.

    makes perfect sense.. sometimes it's nice to know what you are thinking you should do, to be confirmed by someone else

    we all need a little confidence booter now and then...cause most of the time we will bring ourselves down worse than anyone else can

    i agree with you all. personally, sometimes i find it wayyy easier to talk to pretty much complete strangers about certain things because they won't judge me like my friends do. its hard to explain, but thats how i feel. then you can get their honest opinion and other peoples perspectives. on the other hand, i do know what you mean about certain posts that are stupid, and alot are repeated. but yeah.. i think that some people really need this sort of site with help in their lives... just my opinion.

    I actually agree with what Heather said. Maybe it is easier for them to ask someone they don't know..

    People are just used to being spoon fed and can't learn to be independant.

    ahaha i like Jordans answer.

    But yeah i get what the rest of you mean.
    I just find it pathetic the way so many people are crying out for attention .. in which theres no need for it what-so-ever

    i think people just need to tell someone, and someone they dont know is eaiser. maybe some do it for attention maybe some truly dont know the answers to their problems, but does it really matter? if you dont care about their problems there is no need to read them. xxALLYxx

    I Agree with you serena,

    If everybody has the same problem why would they need to ask the same question over again?
    sometimes, yeah, it is easier to take advice from a complete stranger, but taking advice from true friends will solve the problems. Becuase there the closest to you.
    But in some cases, many of the posts are lies, just so one person can get the attention there not reciveing, however reciving attention off the internet from some random stranger sometimes leads to getting into bigger trouble...

    i.e the holly and jessica incident.

    everyone knows what they want inside they just need some one to agree with them, maybe because friends and family don't.
    I recently posted a post here and i vaguely knew what i wanted yet everyone was typing the opposite, still good advice though and i wish i had taken it and not let my self get used and into a massive mess.
    read " i'm going of my nut here...." on about page 3 if you would like to comment.

    Nobodys princess- "if you dont care about their problems there is no need to read them. xxALLYxx"

    -I never said i didnt care, im bringing forward the point of how so many OF the posts are RIDICULOUS.

    Some problems- yes they are worth reading, and YES.. some are worth commenting on.

    But anyway.
    I just think people need to simply learn how to cope with their own problems instead of blowing it out of proportion all the time.

    Ok i could sum up the problems and "should dos" in about a paragraph, including ALL of the situations on this forum

    Q: My boyfriend hits me, what should I do?
    A: If he hits you, he doesn't love you. Dump his ass and tell your Dad that he hurt you. That way, if you make him angry and he comes after you...you will have another man, who actually loves you, protecting you. If you don't have a Dad, tell your mom, your uncle, your brother, another guy friend, etc...

    Q: I like two guys, one is on the internet and one is real. What should I do?
    A: Internet relationships CAN work, but if you are a young girl (under 18), most likely it will not work. Older men use the internet more than you can possibly imagine to lure young girls in. Also, wouldn't you prefer someone who you can actually be affectionate with and talk to in person? It's much more fun to be in a relationship wtih someone you can go out and do things with (ex: go to the movies, walk your dogs together, lay under the stars, etc)

    Q: I have a "thing" with this guy, but he already has a girlfriend. He says he doens't like her, but I am not sure what I should do. Is he playing me?
    A: YES, of course he is playing you. He is playing both his girlfriend AND you, I don't know which is worse. If he didn't like his girlfriend, he wouldn't be with her. He is just using you as a girl he can fall back on in case something happens with his girlfriend. Even if he did dump her for you, what makes you think he wouldn't cheat on you? Once a cheater, always a cheater. Tell that loser to get the hell out of your life!

    Q: I love this guy, but he loves someone else. Help me!
    A: If you really love him, don't force him to love you back and don't get in the way of his love for someone else. Also, if he loves you back...he will do something about it (unless he is a coward)

    Q: I think I might be pregnant, what do I do?
    A: Either call your doctor and make an appointment, but first ask your doctor if discussing pregnancy with her/him will remain confidential. Doctors are not legally allowed to tell your parents if you are pregnant and I think they won't even charge you for a pregnany test if you are under age. If you think you are pregnant from having sex less than 4-5 days ago, get a morning after pill! You may have to be 18, so find someone older to go wtih you or get a fake ID. IF all esle fales, grab a pregnancy test from your local drugstore and sneak it to the bathroom and pee on the friggin strip! I know, that is illegal, but I think if you having a baby is on the line it is worth it.

    Q: My boyfriend cheats on me, should I leave him?
    A: Of course you should. I know you may love him, but he is only hurting you and he obviously doens't share your feelings. There are plenty more fish in the sea that will treat you like a princess not like a piece of trash. Dump his ass, hold your head high, and don't fall back another ass for comfort. Learn to love yourself before you commit to a relationship again

    Q: I am in an online relationship and we really love eachother, is that normal? Are online relationships bad?
    A: Any relationship can be bad whether online or "real." If being with someone online works for you and you are happy, then go for it. If you are unsure, chances are so is he/she and it probably won't work. Lots of online relationships go sour because someone becomes jealous and suspiscious...but then again that happens all the time with "real" relationships.

    Q: I am 14 and my boyfriend is 17, is that ok? I really love him!
    A: You don't love him, sorry, you are INFATUATED. Even if you are positive you love him, he probably doesn't lvoe you. I was 14 once too and I had a 17 year old boyfirend, but guess what...he stole my virginity, and now that I am older, I know that was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Older guys don't go out with younger girls for love, they go out with them because younger girls are easy, trusting, and sweet...not to mention WILLING when it comes to being taken advantage of. Even if your older boyfriend does "love" you, that is just wierd. Older guys shouldn't be interested in younger girls (no matter how mature you think you are)..that is just perverted. Your boyfriend is obviously immature for his age, do you find that attractive? Get yourself out of that relationship, find someone yoru own age OR even better...focus on family, friends, fun, school and sports. Trust me, I am not giving you advice because I want to ruiin your life...I am giving you advice because I have been there and I have already learned my lesson. Listen to your elders, they have more life experience.

    ANY MORE QUESTIONS>?!?!??!?
