Ok so this guy I hang out with at lunch (I'm a girl) raps his hands around my waste and touches me and flirts a little and stuff and I'm not sure he likes me because people say he flirts with everyone...

This is a tough one. Just don't assume too quickly. See for yourself and pay attention on how he acts with other girls.

VSSur4 You completed a number of nice points there. I did a search on the subject matter and found nearly all people will consent with your blog.

What?

My best friend who is like my brother says me and this guy would be good together. This guy and I are friends and I used to like him sorta. I don't know if I should go for this guy because the person who knows me best says I should or not pay any mind to it

Do what YOU think is best for you. He's giving you friendly advice, or maybe because this guy has talked about you to your best friend and he's helping. If you are happy, go for it!

So I like this boy I met at school and were good friends and talk everyday and he's SO NICE and he said that he liked my friend but he found out she doesn't like him and I really want him to ask me to homecoming. He's also my ex's beat friend...?!?!

I think you should ask him, you don't have much to lose!

My ex keeps messaging me, like all the time, its really annoying!! I loved him& i still do, but he's changed so much(like asks loads of girls for pictures and stuff) and he got with my best friend(she&i argued because of it) but how do i tell him to go away, he hurt me so much

He's messaging you either because
1) He's still into you
2) He liked the attention you gave him because it made him feel good
You have to assume whether your ex is either a douche bag who uses girls (including you) to make him feel better about himself or he wants you back.
And from what it sounds like, I think he's constantly messaging you because of number 2.
My best advice is to gently tell him that you don't want to be romantically involved anymore. Tell him you need time apart and after that, distance yourself from him. There's no need to be cold or anything, but eventually he'll get the message and back off. Good luck x

I've known this boy ALL my life. Our mums are really close friends. I REALLY like him, we used to be in a relationship but my friends got involved. He has a girlfriend but he always kisses me. We had a big argument and don't talk but I'm going to tell him I like him, but how do I, what do I say?

I understand you really like him but consider this: what will his girlfriend think?
Now I'm not saying she should stop you from being honest or anything, but I'm assuming that she would be really hurt if she found out you two are romantically involved somehow? You wouldn't want to be a home wrecker ;)
But I leave the decision with you. Regarding the idea that you want to tell him how you feel, my best advice is to wait for the right moment when you two are on good terms. Don't tell him when you two are arguing, as anger can spark some unintentional things that you may regret later.
You could say something along the lines with "I'm just going to be honest with you. I want you to know that I really like you. You mean a lot to me, even though someone else has you."
After that, see how it goes from there. Accept what he has to say too. Things may or may not go the way you want it to. But it sure will feel good to get everything off your chest and he will be thankful that you had the courage to be honest.

Hey , Im having a few problems at my home , my dad is an alcoholic and its really effecting me and my family. he is always drunk and he never does anything with me or my siblings and he always fights with my mother :( he punched her before and im hoping that you will be able to help me maybe ? plz

First of all, I am truly, truly sorry that you have to suffer with this. Coping with an alcoholic parent can really affect one's life and I look up to you for being incredibly strong about this.
Here's the thing: Alcoholism is a disease. Like any disease, it needs to be treated. Without professional help, a person with alcoholism will probably continue to drink and matters may become worse over time. Of course it's no one's fault, but you and your family do not deserve to suffer this way.
Whatever happens, no one should blame their selves (!!!)
My best advice is to acknowledge it and take action. Start by talking to a friend, teacher, counselor, or coach. You could search up for online help or special hotlines. Be aware of your emotions. When you feel things like anger or resentment, try to identify those feelings. Recognizing how a parent's problem drinking makes you feel can help you from burying your feelings and pretending that everything's OK. Lastly, find support. Surround yourself with people who won't judge - someone who will sit and listen to you and provide you with comfort.
I also want to make sure that you and your family are always in a safe environment. If you feel that the situation at home is becoming dangerous, try calling a domestic violence hotline.
Stay strong, beautiful. I wish you and your family the best and that you all figure out a way to cope with all your struggles. I have so much respect for you and I genuinely hope I helped. xxxxxx

[cont. again] hugged me really tightly and for a couple of seconds longer than I would have expected, in fact, I think it was me who pulled away after a while, not really him. It was just such a lovely, sincere hug, and we've never hugged before. Could he like me as more than a friend? Thanks. :)

I personally believe that there will always be that spark between you two, even if you think he's after someone else. Now of course, you can't force someone to like you. But if you want to move forward and be a little more serious, it's time to be honest about your feelings! When you are ready and when the moment is right, tell him that you see him more than a friend. You can only see where things go from there :) And if the feelings aren't mutual, he'll be thankful anyway that you had the courage to tell him how you truly felt. Sometimes boys will put a lot of thought into a girl once they know about their true feelings.
And don't be down if it doesn't go the way you want it to be. Keep being his friend and you never know what lies in the future!
Good luck x

[cont]...that he would like it to be more than that. In my opinion she's a bit superficial (e.g. she's told him she'll only go somewhere if he gets fitter. I'm confused about whether he is still after her or whether he might like me because last night we hugged and he [...]

Sorry, this is going to be a long question... So, there's a boy who I've been pretty good friends with for years, we've both liked each other when we were younger, but it never went anywhere, now I think I like him again, but he has a female "friend" who he's been obsessed with since last year […]

Very weird personal question but you did say question about sex soo here goes... My boyfriend and I (both virgins) tried to do "it" tonight the condom how ever was to small and he couldn't get it in all the way and get it to stay as well. Is there a possibility I could be pregnant?

Did the condom fall off or break while you two were having sex?
You're most likely overthinking it. There's a very, very low possibility that you could be pregnant. Don't worry about it!
I apologise for answering very late but good luck x

I'm afraid to speak in class and I need help to improve my confidence could you help?

I used to have the same problem until I realised that there are so many others that are probably just as afraid of speaking out in front of the class: you're not the only one. It helps a lot to look at someone you are comfortable with, like your teacher or a friend. Everyone else can be ignored! Try some breathing exercises before, they usually help to calm you down. Get the mindset of fear out of your head and it will be over before you know it. Don't let fear control you, my friend :) Also, don't be afraid of making mistakes!

should i fight for someones love?

That's what unconditional love is. But if you have to fight just to get someone's attention, then you don't even need it anyway. People need to realise how much you are worth and not take you for granted.

can you describe what being high on weed is like?

Your high will differ if you took sativa, indica or a mixture of both.
Sativa - energy, stimulating, head high, cerebral, uplifting, creativity, focus, fights depression
Indica - couch-lock, chilling, appetite, body high, deep relaxation, sleep aid, pain/nausea relief, stress/anxiety relief

Is dieting a good idea?

Not in the long run, my dear. Diets are really bad especially if you're young. You need to eat. Fat/weight loss only comes through healthy, clean eating and exercise xx

Do you have any light foundations that you can reccomend??? something on the cheap side

Hmm, it all depends on what your skin type is (if you're prone to imperfections, oily, dry etc.)
My personal favourite which I've been using for a year now is Garnier's BB cream in light. It's lighter than a foundation but a little heavier than a tinted moisturiser. It also has sunscreen and all the good stuff for your skin, so I like it a lot :)

youre very smart, how old are you?

What a lovely compliment, thank you :) I'd rather not say x
