Dear Dish-It,
My so-called BFF told my crush I liked him. Not that bad, right? WRONG!!! I was at my grandma's and it was his 15th b-day. My BFF dared me to call him, so I did. I said Happy B-day but my BFF gave him a little more than he wanted. She told him I liked him. He was surprised and now we can't even look at each other w/o it feeling weird. Oh, yeah. HE LIVES RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME! What do I do?

Dear Karma,
You're right. Your BFF isn't a very good friend if she is going around making things awkward between you and your crush. So you should definitely let her know that you are not a happy camper after what she did. She may already realize she did a stupid thing but if she doesn't see anything wrong with her actions, then maybe you should give the title orf BFF to someone else. As for your crush, just start saying hello and act like he is any other boy on the block. Sooner or later the tension will melt. Just be thankful your BFF didn't tell the whole neighborhood who you like or what color underwear you're wearing!

Dear Dish-It,
First of all, I like this boy named Brandon and he likes me. We would make a good couple. But he acts real stupid and he had to take summer school. I don't want a boy that is not smart but I like him. Should I forget about him or get with him?

Dear GhettoSista
Whoa! If I were this Brandon guy I think I would be running in the other direction. If you really liked him, you wouldn't be talking about him like he's been diagnosed with a contagious stupidity disease. What exactly do you like about this guy? Is it just that he's a real hottie McHottie? Cuz if that's the only reason, it's not good enough. Sure, this guy is in summer school but that doesn't make him a loser. If it bugs you, then stay away from him and date someone in the chess club. The last thing anyone needs is someone making them feel stupid or like they're not good enough and that's what it sounds like would happen if you dated him.

Dear Dish It,
I'm in 8th grade and have never had a boyfriend. All my friends tell me I'm pretty and nice but why can't guys see that? Some guys told me that they think I'm hot but that I'm a teacher's pet and a goody-goody. I'm not and I told them that. But how do I make them see that I am good enough without making them think that I am desperate? Please help!

Dear just wondering,
Although this is going to sound completely lame, your best approach to finding a great boy to date is just being yourself. Chances are you're just too smart and mature for boys to appreciate right now but don't get too bummed. Boys do eventually mature (though sometimes it's hard to tell) and they will eventually learn to appreciate the fabulousness that is you. Don't try to change your image to get a boy's attention - it's a ton more important to be happy and satisfied with who you really are!

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression and just feelin' bad, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, 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.
