Staff Answer

This person doesn't sound like a friend at all! Don't listen to what this person has to say. If you want to salvage the friendship, consider talking to them about how their words make you feel and ask them to stop. Otherwise, try to spend less time with this person and seek out new friends who support you.

Question

I like a boy but he doesn't know, and all my friends say I should tell him but I don't know how. Any suggestions?

Community Answer

It depends on how you feel about this boy. If you are really into him, like head over heels, then it's probably best to tell him in person. However, at the same time you need to prepare for the good and bad. The good being he might accept your feelings and the bad is he might not feel the same way as you do. Also, you should confess only when you feel that you want to.

Question

How do I know if someone likes me?

Community Answer

They probably act differently around you compared to others. They may also treat you differently, like sharing personal information or interacting with you more often.

What if they say I have a crush on someone but I don't?

Tell them you don't. If they keep bugging you, tell them to stop or talk to the person they say you have a crush on and see if you can be friends.

My friend got jealous when I did something they couldn't. How should I deal with this problem?

Community Answer

Teach them how to do it, or tell them "Not everyone can do anything, there are many things I cannot do."

Question

What if my friend thinks that science fiction is real, and they're always talking about it in public and making me feel awkward?

Community Answer

Don't try to convince them that they are wrong. Rather, try asking them not to go on about it when you are in a public space.

Question

How can I outsmart my teacher?

Community Answer

Just ask them a question you know has no answer, like a paradox. For example: "If a barber only shaves men who do not shave themselves, will he shave himself?"

Question

How can I make friends when the girl I want as my friend has another best friend?

Community Answer

You could perhaps attempt to become friends with both of the girls, and not solely that particular girl. Becoming friends with both of the girls will ensure that no future conflicts occur among the three of you.

Question

I already know how to do most of the things in the first article. How can I show off those skills in public?

Rucha Naik

Community Answer

Showing off your talents in a humble way impresses people, but trying to find a way to show off can make you seem arrogant or overconfident. If you try and show your friends you can cartwheel in gym class, that's fine. If you're showing off your flexibility in any other situation, that can seem arrogant. If you want people to know you can sing, try just singing quietly until they realize what you are doing and ask you to sing.

Question

How do I know when my "friends" are actually my friends?

Community Answer

They will be there for you no matter what. Not cause you impress them or do things for them, just because of who you are. And they will help you do the right thing, not push you to do what's wrong.
