Dear Dish-It,
I have a prob... (it's not really a prob, but I need help.) Well, there's this guy that likes me, and so he started calling my house... then I started likin' him. Well, we had a party this weekend and he came. When he was going to talk to me, or come near me, I just left! I really like him though. Can you help me out? How can I stop myself from leavin' when he wants to talk to me??? I need help cuz I don't want to make him think I hate him or anythin' (cuz he doesn't know I like him.) Well, that's another prob! Should I tell him I like him or not??? He might feel weird and stop talkin' to me and stop likin' me... so PLS HELP!!!Thanx

Dear sadnconfused,
From what you've told me, this guy obviously thinks you're a hottie... and you said you dig him, so there's no need to worry. I would definitely let him know you like him, but you're shy. Right now unfortunately, if I was him I might be thinkin' you thought I was pond scum, the way you're runnin' in the other direction all the time. If you can't tell this cutie in person that you're into him - there is always the phone (since he calls you all the time.) Don't worry about him not likin' you - he'd have to be a really weird bird for him to back-off of a girl he likes the minute he finds out she likes him back. I don't think you have anything to lose here, so go for it.

Dear Dish-It,
I am only 12 and I am four months pregnant and I still haven't told my parents yet. They ask about my weight, but I say I'm growing up and eating more. What should I do?

Dear skatebabe,
You have to tell your parents. It may be hard and it may be ugly, but you can't keep it from them forever. There's a baby on the way. You're parents may be able to help you make a lot of decisions and be a support through this whole thing. Being pregnant at any age is not easy, but at 12... I can't even begin to imagine how confused and scared you must be. You're parents need to know about this. Here are some Web sites that may be able to give you advice on telling your parents and dealing with you situation:

TeenWire

Planned Parenthood

Online Pregnancy Center

Dear Dish-It,
A guy used to like me but since I was not interested in him in a romantic way, I discouraged his advances. Since he is kinda immature he stopped talking to me and even made bad faces at me. The other day however, he was in his car with his friends and, on seeing me, he started looking at me from the back mirror of his car and gave me flirtatious smiles. This is strange indeed, for he and I are not on talking terms. Do you think he is doing this to get a reaction out of me or what? Thanks.
Confused

Dear Confused,
It could be that this dude is just doing it to mess with your mind, but I doubt it. I'm thinking it's more like he's over his wounded pride and now wants to make nice-nice. See, it's hard for anybody to face rejection and you discouraging his advances was a major reject stamp across his forehead. You didn't do anything wrong - if ya don't like him, you don't like him, at least you were honest about it - but you said he was immature and immature peeps can get mean when they get hurt. Now, I'm thinking he's over his hurt and he realizes you're still cute and nice (and he might even feel like a tool,) so he's trying to make up for it by acting nice again. Cut him some slack and act like nothing happened. 'Course, if he gets all nasty again, tell him to grow-up and forget about him permanently.

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, wanting to make new friends, depression and just feelin' bad, sex, boyfriends, girlfriends, cheating, pregnancy, bullying or peer pressure but too scared to ask the 'rents? Don't be scared to Dish it. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might wanna use a secret nick when you write in. That way no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day - she'll definitely answer ya, but it may take a bit. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
