Discussion Topics for Kids & Teens | Bulletin Boards & Forums

I was half asked to do this, but after not long thinking about it, I think that maybe it is a good idea.
Im willing to give advise on any problems people have via this thread, there is a few rules though, and some things that you might want to be aware of.

1). There may be extended periods of time when I'm not avaliable to answer any questions due to school commitments and the time difference. However, if I know Im not going to be about, I will let people know.
2). I dont deal with petty problems. Things that arent really problems, things that people ask all the time. There is plenty of advise columns that deal with those.
3). My advise column is open to boys and girls, hence why I have put it in general.
3). I'll always give my honest opinion, and i dont down play anything.

Post your problems away

I have a crush on this guy and he said hes single.Im not sure if he likes me.Once I asked this guy out and he said no and stopped tzlking to me.So should I ask my crush or no?

This to me is kind of a petty problem, however it is not as bad as some, so I will answer it I would just like to point out though, that boyfriends / crushes ect is probably the thing I have the least experience with, so take my advise with a pinch of salt, kk?

It depends really. I guess in theory you have nothing to loose, except maybe a little bit of dignity.
Although you say that last time you asked a guy out, he stopped talking to you? Do you think this is likely to happen again?
Maybe you should get to know the guy better. Get to know him as a good friend. Then ask yourself if you want to take it further and actually go out with him. Do you want to risk the friendship for something bigger? i'd imagine most people would say yes, but I will let you decide that.
If you choose to ask him out, then be very honest and straight, especially if you get rejected. If you do get rejected (fingers crossed not) then whatever you do, make sure you dont laugh it off, or pretend it was just a dare or a joke or something. Tell him that you respect his desicion, and that you still want to be friends. If this situatuation arises, you have to keep the friendship together, becasue the boy would probably be feeling embarrased and confused too.

Ok.

My cousin keeps pushing me and bullying me. Today he pushed me where my dog was and the dog licked my mouth *gross*. His mom knows but she gives him punishments like all he can do is watch TV all week. (Thats a good groundment). What to do>

BUMP!

Hmmm, this is quite a tricky situation to solve if Im being honest.
Bullying is not accpetable, and its a good start to remember this. What your cousin is doing sounds almost like the same kind of bullying that you would get between brothers and sisters - is your cousin older than you?
His mum knows that your cousin is bullying you, but do your parents? Tell them over and over again until they hear you out and do something.
If they tell you that your are being silly and need to 'grow up' or 'toughen up' or something, then the best thing to do is to start keeping a diary. Everytime your cousin does something to you, write it down - including the time and date; what he did; why he did it (If you know); how it made you feel; and what you did back. It is extremely important that you are completely honest with what you write. If you called him a name before he pushed you over, write it down, if you pushed him back after he punched you ect, write it down. When you have quite a few incidents written down, then show it your parents, or your cousins parents. When everything is all written down, it will give a bigger impact so they will be more likely to punish your cousin as he deserves.
Until something is done to punish your cousin, the best thing to do is to ignor him. Avoid him as much as you can. If he calls you a name say 'thank you' or something similar, and walk away from him. Do NOT react - that is what he wants you to do. Try not to take anything he says to you seriously, and I know this is hard because words hurt, but ignoring him is best. If he hits you, get up and walk away, try not to hit him back.
