Family & Relationships - 26 December 2006

I recently have noticed many people in their late teens(18-19) and early 20's feel it is absolutely necessary to live with their bf/gf just because they think it's the thing to do in to pop-culture. They also feel they need to spend the night, or many nights with them because of pop-culture as well. It seems alot of this ideology is pushed upon them current TV shows like Howard Stern, Road Rules, The O.C., and basically anything that's on MTV or VH1.

Do you, or did you feel your values were impressed upon you by TV shows or by your parents? If you answered by TV shows, how did you feel when you found out that's not the right way to go, and lastly, what will you do when YOUR kids follow this same ideology or whatever is prominant at the time they're in this age group?

For me it was pure torture. Two of us are diabetics and my sister/host neglected to have any diet drinks and there were tons of sugary desserts everywhere.

My boyfriend and I have lived together for a year. We decided that he was going to move out recently, but we are still going to date each other. The girl that he had been talking to who started causing the "problems" we are having has been calling and texting him a lot. He says he only wants to date me, and he just needs some time to "figure out who he is before we get any more serious." He's going to move back with his parents for a little while. I noticed this morning that he had taken the other girl's number out of his contact list on his phone. Should I be worried about this other girl? I really want to work things out with him, and I think that it will work, but I was wondering if he really feels the way he says he does, and all he needs is some time to think. Thanks for your input!!

My best friend is a guy, and we have been friends since we were 11 (now 25). Anyway we lost contact for a while and then we met up again. Now when we see eachother he tells me that he loves me and he is in love with me. I am in a relationship but we had sex a couple of times. Whenever we have sex, he doesn't call for like a week and when he does call, its like 2 AM.

Am I trying to convince myself that he really loves me? But why would he lie and tell me those things? Anyway, I bought him something really nice for Christmas, but I gave it to him maybe two weeks early. Yesterday was Christmas, and he didn't even call to wish me a Merry Christmas. I feel really hurt, and I think that I am playing myself. I want to confront him and then never speak to him again, but I don't want to sound like some Psycho chick. But I am really hurt, and I feel that he needs to know that.

I want to see college girls naked/half-naked in the women's shower/bathroom. I also want to hear women doing routine toilet tasks. Maybe I'll just don a wig and inflatable breasts so I'll go unnoticed. Good idea, no?

Hi, My name is Beth and I met Samantha and Steven on a flight from Toronto to Glasgow in December of 2006. They live in a neighboring village of Sterling. Does any one know to whom I am speaking of? I would love to contact them. We didn't get the necessary information to do so while on the flight and now I am kicking myself in the bum! Any information would be appreciated. Sincerely, Beth Patrick

My mother had a fatal heart attack in Januray of this year, which was sudden. None of my siblings expected my mother to leave us so soon, and I had a very hard time with my mom's sudden death. Then yesterday, my grandmother passed away, but she had a full life of 93 years. Yet, my mother's death seems like yesterday.

first of all im 15..
i liked this boy, he was my friend, his names ryan, he acted like he liked me too, and kissed me once on the lips, then i found out that after it he got a girlfriend, who by the way looks like a total sl*t, so anyway i have a stupid mouth so i accidentally blurted out once that what he did (getting a girlfriend) made me mad, and he said there was nothing between us (me and him) and that kiss was just a friends kiss... so anyway he totally broke my heart and i cant stand him even though i still like him.. so now ive got a boy friend (jake) and i dont really like him that much, but hes really hot.... anyway he's always out partying and getting drunk, and i dont really care, cuz like i said, i dont like him that much,im still not over ryan, and for some reason i keep thinking that dating jake will make me feel better about myself but it actually just makes me feel like a wh*re, and well i cant stop thinking about ryan and seeing him with that sl*t..it makes me so mad

i've seen this guy around for some time and actually there was once when i had a bet with my older sister who's 26, i'm 18, that i'll pass him a note with my number on it..so on that day, the both of us went into the shop and browsed at the clothes and stuff,then my sis went in,got a baby clothing and went to ask him some qns,i was standing beside her and occasionally turning around to look at the guy,hopefully there was some eye-contact but there wasn't and he looked really unfriendly and aloof,i don't know but maybe he's just like that or perhaps shy? we walked in and out of the shop a couple of times, with me still trying to muster my courage to approach him,the last time we went in, he looked at us, i don't know if he was looking at me or my sis,my sis turned n check if i was making eye contact with him but i didn't because i dare not look at him and wasn't sure who he was looking at.i wanna pass him that card but afraid of his cold appearance and what if he said he's attached?

i know this girl really well, we've been friends for two years. i know she fancies me, because she's always positive. if say something that sounds positive, she would compliment it.

like if i said something.

i worked really hard at cutting the lawn or i put my
best efforts into a cooking a proper meal, for my parents.

she would compliment it by saying

thats good, know you don't have to worry about the garden for three months or well done, i bet your parents where pleased that you cooked them a nice meal.

she works at college, and when i talk to her about my education and approach to it. she says things like. that's a good approach, i am the same, you shouldn't change your approach.
if i compliment her on her work, she smiles and says "it's part of my job and it is all part of the service. i meet her at the college and i think there is chemistry, between me and this girl. when i don't give her attention, she would tell me or show me, whenever she's upset.

didn't like but cost alot of money... would you say something to that person knowing it would hurt their feelings or would you keep it?

its just awkward as i dont want them to waste their money but dont want to hurt their feelings either...

Have you recieved anything expensive that you disliked? And what would you do?

What would you wear in public?
How daring would you be?
What about when the two of you are alone?

My love one is with another person now. We've only been in the relationship a couple of months then she got back with her ex of 4 years. Yet she tries so hard to get a hold of me, no matter if who she's with is with her. And for some reason, whenever we talk, she still calls me baby and says that she misses me.

Alright I know everyone asks this lol. Anyways I am about to move out of state with my boyfriend in 3 weeks, however I just met this new guy. My boyfriend cheated on me in the past and I still don't trust him.
Yet I'd feel horrible breaking up with him right before we are about to move and leave him to move alone. Plus, I'm the only real family he has.
I really don't know what to do. The new guy is more similar to me, raised the same way, I wouldn't have trust issues with him.
I have like a week to decide...help.

I'm the blacksheep in my family, and I'm the usual target of insults, jokes and put downs. My parents think I'm really stupid, even if I try really hard to get good grades (never got anything below a B), and my sister just treats me like I'm a retard. Overall, I'm treated like a piece of sh*t in our family.
I'm 14, so coming out is going to be a much later thing, but how and when should I do it? Will my parents and family hate me even more after I tell them? I need advice :(
