Dear Dish-It,
I really like this boy a lot that sits at the same table I do during lunch. He was acting all hyper one day and he got so annoying that I told him to shut up. He has not sat at our table ever since. I'm crushin' on him major and want to know how to patch things up. Please help! I'll wait for your answer and in the mean time think about what he could be doing right now, if his hair is in spikes or not, what kind of shirt he's wearing, what cologne he has used... I can't get him out of my head!

Dear Thinking_of_Him,
Instead of sitting around and fantasizing about this crush, you need to just get over there and apologize to him. You didn't really mean to tell him to shut up, right? So let him know that. Tell him you think he's a cool guy and you were just annoyed and didn't think before you spoke. Most likely he was just embarrassed and a bit angry that you told him to shut up, and he'll appreciate your apology. The ball is in your court right now - so let him know how you feel. And, the next time your crush does something that annoys you, just take a step back before saying anything. If you're really crushing, then you should be able to overlook some of his more obnoxious behavior sometimes. Good luck!

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure, but are 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, so she can't answer 'em all. But keep checkin' the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
