Dear Dish-It,
I totally like this guy in my class, and my friends all say he totally likes me too. But I think he's shy cuz he never talks to me, so I wanna ask him out. The thing is my mom's all, "girls don't call boys." So what should I do?

Sooo, what do you want first, the good news or the bad news? Umm, maybe the guy doesn't talk to you cuz he doesn't know you exist! Did ya stop to think that maybe your not HisGirl. Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh, but really, maybe he's not interested. The good news is your mom's theory about dating, thankfully, died off with the dinosaurs and Rico Suave's career. It is totally cool for you to make the first move. Any guy who has issues with a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it, isn't worth a Rico Suave CD. You've gotta remember one thing though, (and this is where my cold harsh words come back into play) you can't please all the people all the time. Not everyone is going to love you and think you're the greatest. So be prepared to crash and burn, but not so prepared that it prevents you from going after what you want. So "Carpe Boyfriend" girl. Show 'em what you're made of.

I think you should plan a date. Maybe a dinner, dance, and walking by the beach!

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.
